[15:52] kinda ty. had some probs [15:52] power cut about 5 or 6 times and my brug got hurt [15:52] grub [15:52] ja myself hay. I have this terrible craving for shortbread and there is none around [15:53] had to boot from karmic and run sudo update-grub [15:53] *first world problems (tm) he he [15:53] oh dear. did it reinstall okay in the end? [15:53] now if i boot and try the recovery option it doesnt work as it used to [15:54] you have karmic and the new one both ? [15:54] on booting all test tiny till i actually in [15:54] karmic and maverick [15:54] luckily or i woulda been struggling stil [15:55] booted to initramfs [15:55] the maverick recovery option is broken? maybe just update-grub from inside maverick [15:55] can one run recovery from cli? [15:55] i have [15:56] i also get a tiny script saying diskdrive uuid not ready [15:56] :( [15:56] then it boots [15:56] not sound good [15:56] no me cries [15:56] does maverick boot then? [15:57] 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 [15:58] does recovery just take you to a command line? [15:58] thats all recovery is, a root login [15:59] 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 [16:00] but i can still get in, just annoying to not work properly [16:02] and my maverick been so lekker for so long [16:02] boo hoo hoo [16:03] you supposed to say 'now now, dont cry' [16:05] Maaz, coffee on [16:05] * Maaz starts grinding coffee [16:09] Coffee's ready for Kilos! [16:09] Maaz, ty [16:09] Enjoy Kilos [16:14] now, now don't cry [16:15] lmga [16:15] im confused when you say 'only goes halfway' i wonder if some files of yours got broken with the power cuts [16:16] 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] must have been [16:16] like grub for starters [16:16] goes back too boot options? no no, it should boot the OS not go back :p [16:17] never mind i will try recover bit by bit from earlier updates [16:17] first step is to look for any errors that show during that boot :) [16:17] how are youuuuuu [16:18] i will try but they flash by too fast for one eye to keep up [16:19] i can boot straight in [16:19] ek het koekies gevind! shortbread [16:19] shortbread be very lekker [16:20] * Kilos thinks sis has a great recipe from my grans time [16:22] i think the eat some more one was the best over the years [16:25] 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 [16:26] sounds good. link please [16:26] in a terminal run: [16:26] wget -O ubuntu-grub2.html https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [16:26] that will download the html for you. no images. [16:26] i tried synaptic and it took 2.3m download [16:26] lol so i stretch again [16:27] ty kbmonkey i go get and read [16:27] no I make that command for you so you wont need to open a browser :) [16:27] you can download most web pages like that. [16:27] oh ty so much clever kid [16:28] you still open the file with web browser, but is all offline [16:28] hi MPD [16:28] i run that in cli hey?
