Kiloskinda ty. had some probs 15:52
Kilospower cut about 5 or 6 times and my brug got hurt15:52
Kilosgrub15:52
kbmonkeyja myself hay. I have this terrible craving for shortbread and there is none around15:52
Kiloshad to boot from karmic and run sudo update-grub15:53
kbmonkey*first world problems (tm) he he15:53
kbmonkeyoh dear. did it reinstall okay in the end?15:53
Kilosnow if i boot and try the recovery option it doesnt work as it used to15:53
kbmonkeyyou have karmic and the new one both ?15:54
Kiloson booting all test tiny till i actually in15:54
Kiloskarmic and maverick15:54
Kilosluckily or i woulda been struggling stil15:54
Kilosbooted to initramfs15:55
kbmonkeythe maverick recovery option is broken? maybe just update-grub from inside maverick15:55
Kiloscan one run recovery from cli?15:55
Kilosi have15:55
Kilosi also get a tiny script saying diskdrive uuid not ready15:56
kbmonkey:(15:56
Kilosthen it boots15:56
kbmonkeynot sound good15:56
Kilosno me cries15:56
kbmonkeydoes maverick boot then?15:56
Kilosyes 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 says15:57
kbmonkeydoes recovery just take you to a command line?15:58
kbmonkeythats all recovery is, a root login15:58
Kilosit 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 window15:59
Kilosbut i can still get in, just annoying to not work properly16:00
Kilosand my maverick been so lekker for so long16:02
Kilosboo hoo hoo16:02
Kilosyou supposed to say 'now now, dont cry'16:03
KilosMaaz, coffee on16:05
* Maaz starts grinding coffee16:05
MaazCoffee's ready for Kilos!16:09
KilosMaaz, ty16:09
MaazEnjoy Kilos16:09
kbmonkeynow, now don't cry16:14
Kiloslmga16:15
kbmonkeyim confused when you say 'only goes halfway' <?16:15
kbmonkeyi wonder if some files of yours got broken with the power cuts16:16
Kilosit normally runs lotsa scripts and then goes back to boot options but now it goes back earlier and the boot options window is tiny16:16
Kilosmust have been16:16
Kiloslike grub for starters16:16
kbmonkeygoes back too boot options? no no, it should boot the OS not go back :p16:16
Kilosnever mind i will try recover bit by bit from earlier updates16:17
kbmonkeyfirst step is to look for any errors that show during that boot :)16:17
Kiloshow are youuuuuu16:17
Kilosi will try but they flash by too fast for one eye to keep up16:18
Kilosi can boot straight in16:19
kbmonkeyek het koekies gevind! shortbread16:19
Kilosshortbread be very lekker16:19
* Kilos thinks sis has a great recipe from my grans time16:20
Kilosi think the eat some more one was the best over the years16:22
kbmonkeyif you can spare the 200K, you can get the ubuntu document on grub, how to fix it with a live cd and all that16:25
Kilossounds good. link please16:26
kbmonkeyin a terminal run:16:26
kbmonkeywget -O ubuntu-grub2.html https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub216:26
kbmonkeythat will download the html for you. no images.16:26
Kilosi tried synaptic and it took 2.3m download16:26
Kiloslol so i stretch again16:26
Kilosty kbmonkey  i go get and read16:27
kbmonkeyno I make that command for you so you wont need to open a browser :)16:27

kbmonkeyMPD, do you use the mpd music player by any chance?16:29
kbmonkey:D16:29
Kiloswow it fetched that in .9 s16:30
kbmonkeylots of reading in that one. see section #12 Kilos :)16:39
kbmonkeysaved my but a few times that page16:39
Kilosk will do16:39
Kilosbutt16:39
kbmonkeybutt dont bother with that graphical boot-repair tool. you can fix it without that tool16:40
kbmonkeywith just a live cd, thats all you need16:40
Kilosah ty. still looking for section 1216:40
kbmonkeya 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
Kiloswill do that dankie16:43
* kbmonkey gives kilos a cookie16:44
kbmonkeyhe he16:44
kbmonkeyMaaz, cookies please16:44
