| Kilos | hiya kbmonkey and others | 15:50 |
| Kilos | lo superfly | 15:50 |
| kbmonkey | lo Kilos | 15:51 |
| kbmonkey | doing well? | 15:51 |
| Kilos | kinda ty. had some probs | 15:52 |
| Kilos | power cut about 5 or 6 times and my brug got hurt | 15:52 |
| Kilos | grub | 15:52 |
| kbmonkey | ja myself hay. I have this terrible craving for shortbread and there is none around | 15:52 |
| Kilos | had to boot from karmic and run sudo update-grub | 15:53 |
| kbmonkey | *first world problems (tm) he he | 15:53 |
| kbmonkey | oh dear. did it reinstall okay in the end? | 15:53 |
| Kilos | now if i boot and try the recovery option it doesnt work as it used to | 15:53 |
| kbmonkey | you have karmic and the new one both ? | 15:54 |
| Kilos | on booting all test tiny till i actually in | 15:54 |
| Kilos | karmic and maverick | 15:54 |
| Kilos | luckily or i woulda been struggling stil | 15:54 |
| Kilos | booted to initramfs | 15:55 |
| kbmonkey | the maverick recovery option is broken? maybe just update-grub from inside maverick | 15:55 |
| Kilos | can one run recovery from cli? | 15:55 |
| Kilos | i have | 15:55 |
| Kilos | i also get a tiny script saying diskdrive uuid not ready | 15:56 |
| kbmonkey | :( | 15:56 |
| Kilos | then it boots | 15:56 |
| kbmonkey | not sound good | 15:56 |
| Kilos | no me cries | 15:56 |
| kbmonkey | does maverick boot then? | 15:56 |
| Kilos | yes i am in it now, just the recovery doesnt work and on booting i get that script but too fast to see what all it says | 15:57 |
| kbmonkey | does recovery just take you to a command line? | 15:58 |
| kbmonkey | thats all recovery is, a root login | 15:58 |
| Kilos | it runs on its own but now only goes halfway to what it used to then i get the option to resume normal boot but inna tiny window | 15:59 |
| Kilos | but i can still get in, just annoying to not work properly | 16:00 |
| Kilos | and my maverick been so lekker for so long | 16:02 |
| Kilos | boo hoo hoo | 16:02 |
| Kilos | you supposed to say 'now now, dont cry' | 16:03 |
| Kilos | Maaz, coffee on | 16:05 |
| * Maaz starts grinding coffee | 16:05 | |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for Kilos! | 16:09 |
| Kilos | Maaz, ty | 16:09 |
| Maaz | Enjoy Kilos | 16:09 |
| kbmonkey | now, now don't cry | 16:14 |
| Kilos | lmga | 16:15 |
| kbmonkey | im confused when you say 'only goes halfway' <? | 16:15 |
| kbmonkey | i wonder if some files of yours got broken with the power cuts | 16:16 |
| Kilos | it normally runs lotsa scripts and then goes back to boot options but now it goes back earlier and the boot options window is tiny | 16:16 |
| Kilos | must have been | 16:16 |
| Kilos | like grub for starters | 16:16 |
| kbmonkey | goes back too boot options? no no, it should boot the OS not go back :p | 16:16 |
| Kilos | never mind i will try recover bit by bit from earlier updates | 16:17 |
| kbmonkey | first step is to look for any errors that show during that boot :) | 16:17 |
| Kilos | how are youuuuuu | 16:17 |
| Kilos | i will try but they flash by too fast for one eye to keep up | 16:18 |
| Kilos | i can boot straight in | 16:19 |
| kbmonkey | ek het koekies gevind! shortbread | 16:19 |
| Kilos | shortbread be very lekker | 16:19 |
| * Kilos thinks sis has a great recipe from my grans time | 16:20 | |
| Kilos | i think the eat some more one was the best over the years | 16:22 |
| kbmonkey | if you can spare the 200K, you can get the ubuntu document on grub, how to fix it with a live cd and all that | 16:25 |
| Kilos | sounds good. link please | 16:26 |
| kbmonkey | in a terminal run: | 16:26 |
| kbmonkey | wget -O ubuntu-grub2.html https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 16:26 |
| kbmonkey | that will download the html for you. no images. | 16:26 |
| Kilos | i tried synaptic and it took 2.3m download | 16:26 |
| Kilos | lol so i stretch again | 16:26 |
| Kilos | ty kbmonkey i go get and read | 16:27 |
| kbmonkey | no I make that command for you so you wont need to open a browser :) | 16:27 |
| kbmonkey | you can download most web pages like that. | 16:27 |
| Kilos | oh ty so much clever kid | 16:27 |
| kbmonkey | you still open the file with web browser, but is all offline | 16:28 |
| kbmonkey | hi MPD | 16:28 |
| Kilos | i run that in cli hey? | 16:28 |
| Kilos | hi MPD | 16:28 |
| kbmonkey | yes kilos. it will put the file into your home ~ folder | 16:28 |
| Kilos | ty | 16:29 |
| kbmonkey | 202K size | 16:29 |
| Kilos | thats great ty | 16:29 |
| kbmonkey | MPD, do you use the mpd music player by any chance? | 16:29 |
| kbmonkey | :D | 16:29 |
| Kilos | wow it fetched that in .9 s | 16:30 |
| kbmonkey | lots of reading in that one. see section #12 Kilos :) | 16:39 |
| kbmonkey | saved my but a few times that page | 16:39 |
| Kilos | k will do | 16:39 |
| Kilos | butt | 16:39 |
| kbmonkey | butt dont bother with that graphical boot-repair tool. you can fix it without that tool | 16:40 |
| kbmonkey | with just a live cd, thats all you need | 16:40 |
| Kilos | ah ty. still looking for section 12 | 16:40 |
| kbmonkey | a tip: before you boot the live cd, while in maverick/karmic, run "df -h" and write down which /dev/sdXY is used for root (/) and home (if any). makes life easier when you know which partitions are used ;) | 16:43 |
| Kilos | will do that dankie | 16:43 |
| * kbmonkey gives kilos a cookie | 16:44 | |
| kbmonkey | he he | 16:44 |
| kbmonkey | Maaz, cookies please | 16:44 |
| Maaz | kbmonkey: Go get it yourself! | 16:44 |
| * Kilos smiles in gratitude | 16:44 | |
| kbmonkey | Maaz, go play in /dev/null | 16:44 |
| Maaz | kbmonkey: *blink* | 16:44 |
| Kilos | night everyone. sleep tight | 18:19 |
