[06:28] <kbmonkey> nuvolari, hello
[06:29] <kbmonkey> frugalware? I'll look, the site seems down now
[07:50] <kbmonkey> for you minecrafts fans i see  you can play for free during the humble bundle if you bought it 
[10:53] <Kilos> afternoon superfly kbmonkey nuvolari and others
[10:54] <kbmonkey> middag!
[10:55] <Kilos> haai kbmonkey daai uuid wat die ding nie kan vind op boot lyk vir my is die swap se uuid
[10:55] <Kilos> ek het cat in getik, wag ek soek
[10:56] <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
[10:57] <Kilos> ek sal dit bin toe stuur dis lank
[10:57] <nlsthzn> nuvolari: hey... got it working btw... :)
[10:57] <nlsthzn> hi all
[10:57] <Kilos> hi nlsthzn 
[10:57] <kbmonkey> maak maar so Kilos :)
[10:58] <kbmonkey> got your video working nlsthzn ?
[10:59] <superfly> afternoon Kilos, nlsthzn, kbmonkey
[10:59] <Kilos> http://slexy.org/view/s21pzhmgjz
[11:00] <Kilos> die heel laaste lyn met die 9998 uuid is die nommer wat dit se cant find of iets
[11:01] <nlsthzn__> sheese... how many times am I logged in ?! :p
[11:01] <kbmonkey> nlsthzn, nlsthzn_, nlsthzn__  he he he
[11:02] <kbmonkey> kilos, you are on that pc now?
[11:02] <kbmonkey> logged in?
[11:03] <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. 
[11:04] <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
[11:06] <Kilos> Filename				Type		Size	Used	Priority
[11:06] <Kilos> no info with it
[11:06] <kbmonkey> easy to fix i think
[11:07] <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
[11:08] <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
[11:09] <kbmonkey> edit /etc/fstab and replace the old one with the new uuid. 
[11:10] <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.
[11:11] <kbmonkey> maybe the swap was broken from the cuts, and your pc recretead the swap to fix it for you
[11:11] <Kilos> wow
[11:13] <kbmonkey> easy: backup and edit fstab, then you run 'sudo swapon -a' to turn swap on
[11:14] <kbmonkey> (i always backup system files before edit)
[11:14] <Kilos> dunno how to backup that kbmonkey 
[11:15] <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
[11:16] <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.
[11:17] <Kilos> but dont understand backing it up if its not working
[11:17] <Kilos> edit first?
[11:18] <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
[11:19] <kbmonkey> yes it will, i did not know you rsync to external :)
[11:19] <Kilos> ah
[11:20] <kbmonkey> this gives a clue why the recovery boot wont work, maybe it's uuid also changed?
[11:20] <Kilos> sjoe
[11:23] <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
[11:24] <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
[11:25] <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
[11:26] <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'
[11:28] <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   
[11:29] <Kilos> with 11dec in it
[11:29] <Kilos> i changed what came after 11dec
[11:29] <kbmonkey> why only that after 11dec?
[11:30] <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
[11:31] <kbmonkey> UUID=f035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 none            swap
[11:34] <Kilos> and this next line stays like this?
[11:34] <Kilos> sw              0       0
[11:35] <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
[11:36] <Kilos> ok now i did sudo swapon -a
[11:36] <Kilos>  and it went to next prompt
[11:36] <kbmonkey> yay
[11:37] <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                               partition	1983484	0	-1
[11:38] <kbmonkey> fixed! no need to reboot either
[11:38] <Kilos> at least there is info there now
[11:38] <Kilos> yay dankie baie
[11:39] <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
[11:42] <Kilos> oh werent they all there in the last paste
[11:42] <Kilos> how do we find all of them plse
[11:43] <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 :)
[11:46] <Kilos> ok so i go gedit and copy the output?
[11:46] <kbmonkey> gedit? no the ls output in your terminal
[11:48] <Kilos> sorry for acting dof. must i cd to there?
[11:48] <Kilos> head no good today
[11:49] <kbmonkey> no that ls -l /dev/dis/by-uuid command :) we want to see all the disks
[11:50] <kbmonkey> im being summoned
[11:50] <Kilos> k
[11:50] <kbmonkey> il be back soon
[11:50] <Kilos> ty
[12:05] <Kilos> it shows only 3 sda1 sda6 sda5
[12:06] <Kilos> will rather pm the output, using browsers uses too much data
[12:16] <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
[12:18] <Kilos> pmed
[12:23] <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
[12:24] <kbmonkey> err, i don't know what to suggest Kilos sorry
[12:25] <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
[12:28] <Kilos> i will try a reboot
[12:28] <Kilos> and recovery mode
[12:29] <kbmonkey> write down and errors you might see
[12:30] <Kilos> got that last message inna popup window
[12:30] <Kilos> hehe
[12:30] <Kilos> bbl
[12:40] <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
[12:41] <Kilos> but i can still boot in here so we hope i dont need to do a recovery some time
[12:49] <Kilos> hiya Squirm
