| Kilos | ek het cat in getik, wag ek soek | 10:55 |
| kbmonkey | ah :) | 10:56 |
| Kilos | cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg , cat /etc/fstab | 10:56 |
| kbmonkey | en dit wys na die swap toe? | 10:56 |
| Kilos | maar die grub recovery is nog voutief | 10:56 |
| Kilos | ek sal dit bin toe stuur dis lank | 10:57 |
| nlsthzn | nuvolari: hey... got it working btw... :) | 10:57 |

| superfly | afternoon Kilos, nlsthzn, kbmonkey | 10:59 |
| Kilos | http://slexy.org/view/s21pzhmgjz | 10:59 |
| Kilos | die heel laaste lyn met die 9998 uuid is die nommer wat dit se cant find of iets | 11:00 |
| nlsthzn__ | sheese... how many times am I logged in ?! :p | 11:01 |
| kbmonkey | nlsthzn, nlsthzn_, nlsthzn__ he he he | 11:01 |
| kbmonkey | kilos, you are on that pc now? | 11:02 |
| kbmonkey | logged in? | 11:02 |
| Kilos | yessir it boots fine even though it brings up the uuid message | 11:03 |
| kbmonkey | the uuid of the swap changed, why I cant say. | 11:03 |
| kbmonkey | can you run 'swapon -s' and tell us if it says anything? | 11:04 |
| kbmonkey | it will show if you have swap turned on. it will probably show nothing if you dont | 11:04 |
| Kilos | ok sec | 11:04 |
| Kilos | FilenameTypeSizeUsedPriority | 11:06 |
| Kilos | no info with it | 11:06 |
| kbmonkey | easy to fix i think | 11:06 |
| kbmonkey | do you know what your swap partition is? like /dev/sda? | 11:07 |
| Kilos | yes i can check it with gparted, i think sda5 | 11:07 |
| kbmonkey | okay. to see it's uuid you can run 'ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/' and match it up with the /dev/sda? | 11:08 |
| Kilos | yeah sda5 | 11:08 |
| kbmonkey | edit /etc/fstab and replace the old one with the new uuid. | 11:09 |
| Kilos | Coh my its different | 11:10 |
| Kilos | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2011-08-07 13:08 f035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 -> ../../sda5 | 11:10 |
| kbmonkey | yes the uuid changed. i wonder why? | 11:10 |
| Kilos | how could that happen, from the power cuts? | 11:10 |
| kbmonkey | when you run mkswap it assigns a new uuid to the swap too. | 11:10 |
| kbmonkey | maybe the swap was broken from the cuts, and your pc recretead the swap to fix it for you | 11:11 |
| Kilos | wow | 11:11 |
| kbmonkey | easy: backup and edit fstab, then you run 'sudo swapon -a' to turn swap on | 11:13 |
| kbmonkey | (i always backup system files before edit) | 11:14 |
| Kilos | dunno how to backup that kbmonkey | 11:14 |
| kbmonkey | try: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak | 11:15 |
| kbmonkey | ;) | 11:15 |
| kbmonkey | simply copy the file | 11:15 |
| Kilos | oh ok thats something i understand | 11:15 |
| kbmonkey | and 'sudo gedit /etc/fstab' should then open it with gedit as a super user so you can edit it | 11:16 |
| kbmonkey | and just replace that old uuid with the one you found just now. save and close | 11:16 |
| Kilos | i have it open already | 11:16 |
| Kilos | using all 9 desktops lol | 11:16 |
| kbmonkey | okay. you can backup while its open too. | 11:16 |
| Kilos | but dont understand backing it up if its not working | 11:17 |
| Kilos | edit first? | 11:17 |
| kbmonkey | because if something happens and fstab suddenly disappears, then what? | 11:18 |
| kbmonkey | ...okay that's worst case he he | 11:18 |
| Kilos | um will it not be in my rsync that i have on external | 11:18 |
| kbmonkey | yes it will, i did not know you rsync to external :) | 11:19 |
| Kilos | ah | 11:19 |
| kbmonkey | this gives a clue why the recovery boot wont work, maybe it's uuid also changed? | 11:20 |
| Kilos | sjoe | 11:20 |
| Kilos | ok edited, hopefully properly now to reboot and watch | 11:23 |
| kbmonkey | before | 11:23 |
| kbmonkey | before you reboot, test if it works maybe? | 11:23 |
| Kilos | how | 11:23 |
| Kilos | oh sawpon | 11:24 |
| kbmonkey | run 'sudo swapon -a' it will enable swap (just like when it reboots would) | 11:24 |
| Kilos | swapon | 11:24 |
| kbmonkey | if it worked, 'swapon -s' will now show a line that points to /sda5 | 11:24 |
| Kilos | cannot find the device | 11:24 |
| kbmonkey | really?! | 11:25 |
| kbmonkey | :( | 11:25 |
| Kilos | swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=11decf035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 | 11:25 |
| Kilos | :( | 11:25 |
| kbmonkey | oh, your uuid is wrong | 11:25 |
| kbmonkey | you need to use the _whole_ uuid, not just the last part ;) | 11:26 |
| kbmonkey | f035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 | 11:26 |
| kbmonkey | 11decf035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 <- wrong one | 11:26 |
| kbmonkey | you have an extra bit in the front '11dec' | 11:26 |
| Kilos | this is the whole entry in fstab | 11:28 |
| Kilos | swap was on /dev/sda7 during installation | 11:28 |
| Kilos | UUID=11decf035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 none swap | 11:28 |
| Kilos | with 11dec in it | 11:29 |
| Kilos | i changed what came after 11dec | 11:29 |
| kbmonkey | why only that after 11dec? | 11:29 |
| kbmonkey | that is part of the old uuid, you need to replace 11dec too :) | 11:30 |
| Kilos | i thought that was the uuid | 11:30 |
| kbmonkey | that whole long string is the uuid, replace the whole thing | 11:30 |
| Kilos | ok i try again | 11:30 |
| kbmonkey | so: | 11:30 |
| kbmonkey | UUID=11decf035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 none swap | 11:30 |
| kbmonkey | becomes | 11:30 |
| kbmonkey | UUID=f035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 none swap | 11:31 |
| Kilos | and this next line stays like this? | 11:34 |
| Kilos | sw 0 0 | 11:34 |
| Kilos | or must i delete that | 11:35 |
| kbmonkey | yes leave all that | 11:35 |
| kbmonkey | only replace the uuid, dont change the rest | 11:35 |
| Kilos | ok ty i try again | 11:35 |
| kbmonkey | np | 11:35 |
| Kilos | ok now i did sudo swapon -a | 11:36 |
| Kilos | and it went to next prompt | 11:36 |
| kbmonkey | yay | 11:36 |
| Kilos | is that good? | 11:37 |
| Kilos | hehe | 11:37 |
| kbmonkey | swapon -s shows it now? | 11:37 |
| kbmonkey | yes that looks good | 11:37 |
| Kilos | /dev/sda5 partition19834840-1 | 11:37 |
| kbmonkey | fixed! no need to reboot either | 11:38 |
| Kilos | at least there is info there now | 11:38 |
| Kilos | yay dankie baie | 11:38 |
| kbmonkey | if you want, paste the list of the other uuid's and we can see if your recovery opsie points to a broken uuid too | 11:39 |
| Kilos | oh werent they all there in the last paste | 11:42 |
| Kilos | how do we find all of them plse | 11:42 |
| kbmonkey | i meant the output from /dev/disk/by-uuid. those are your actual dis uuid's. | 11:43 |
| kbmonkey | the file you pasted online, is just the config file. | 11:43 |
| kbmonkey | you see, if the config file does not match the real values, the boot wont work :) | 11:43 |
| Kilos | ok so i go gedit and copy the output? | 11:46 |
| kbmonkey | gedit? no the ls output in your terminal | 11:46 |
| Kilos | sorry for acting dof. must i cd to there? | 11:48 |
| Kilos | head no good today | 11:48 |
| kbmonkey | no that ls -l /dev/dis/by-uuid command :) we want to see all the disks | 11:49 |
| kbmonkey | im being summoned | 11:50 |
| Kilos | k | 11:50 |
| kbmonkey | il be back soon | 11:50 |
| Kilos | ty | 11:50 |
| Kilos | it shows only 3 sda1 sda6 sda5 | 12:05 |
| Kilos | will rather pm the output, using browsers uses too much data | 12:06 |
| kbmonkey | that is fine Kilos, pm it | 12:16 |
| Kilos | ty | 12:16 |
| nlsthzn | work-work... be back later :p | 12:16 |
| Kilos | whats your name again | 12:16 |
| Kilos | hehe | 12:16 |
| kbmonkey | im actually busy looking into a script so i can just 'cat file | pastebin' and it will upload for me without a broser :) | 12:16 |
| Kilos | sjoe | 12:16 |
| Kilos | pmed | 12:18 |
| Kilos | Maaz, weather in pretoria south africa | 12:23 |

| Kilos | yay ty cocooncrash | 12:23 |
| cocooncrash | Kilos: Erm, don't think I did anything to fix that | 12:23 |
| kbmonkey | err, i don't know what to suggest Kilos sorry | 12:24 |
| kbmonkey | your /grub.cfg points the first recovery partition to sda6 | 12:25 |
| kbmonkey | and when you boot that one it doesnt work right? | 12:25 |
| Kilos | np kbmonkey at least swap is working now. ty very much | 12:25 |
| kbmonkey | :) | 12:25 |
| Kilos | maybe it will now. who knows | 12:25 |
| Kilos | i will try a reboot | 12:28 |
| Kilos | and recovery mode | 12:28 |
| kbmonkey | write down and errors you might see | 12:29 |
| Kilos | got that last message inna popup window | 12:30 |
| Kilos | hehe | 12:30 |
| Kilos | bbl | 12:30 |
| Kilos | nope recovery mode is corrupt. gets to running /scripts/init-bottom then goes to boot options again but everything in tiny fonts | 12:40 |
| Kilos | there used to be lotsa stuff running after init--bottom | 12:40 |
| Kilos | but i can still boot in here so we hope i dont need to do a recovery some time | 12:41 |
| Kilos | hiya Squirm | 12:49 |
