[06:28] nuvolari, hello [06:29] frugalware? I'll look, the site seems down now [07:50] for you minecrafts fans i see you can play for free during the humble bundle if you bought it === nlsthzn__ is now known as nlsthzn [10:53] afternoon superfly kbmonkey nuvolari and others [10:54] middag! [10:55] haai kbmonkey daai uuid wat die ding nie kan vind op boot lyk vir my is die swap se uuid [10:55] ek het cat in getik, wag ek soek [10:56] ah :) [10:56] cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg , cat /etc/fstab [10:56] en dit wys na die swap toe? [10:56] maar die grub recovery is nog voutief [10:57] ek sal dit bin toe stuur dis lank [10:57] nuvolari: hey... got it working btw... :) [10:57] hi all [10:57] hi nlsthzn [10:57] maak maar so Kilos :) [10:58] got your video working nlsthzn ? [10:59] afternoon Kilos, nlsthzn, kbmonkey [10:59] http://slexy.org/view/s21pzhmgjz [11:00] die heel laaste lyn met die 9998 uuid is die nommer wat dit se cant find of iets [11:01] sheese... how many times am I logged in ?! :p [11:01] nlsthzn, nlsthzn_, nlsthzn__ he he he [11:02] kilos, you are on that pc now? [11:02] logged in? [11:03] yessir it boots fine even though it brings up the uuid message [11:03] the uuid of the swap changed, why I cant say. [11:04] can you run 'swapon -s' and tell us if it says anything? [11:04] it will show if you have swap turned on. it will probably show nothing if you dont [11:04] ok sec [11:06] Filename Type Size Used Priority [11:06] no info with it [11:06] easy to fix i think [11:07] do you know what your swap partition is? like /dev/sda? [11:07] yes i can check it with gparted, i think sda5 [11:08] 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] yeah sda5 [11:09] edit /etc/fstab and replace the old one with the new uuid. [11:10] Coh my its different [11:10] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2011-08-07 13:08 f035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 -> ../../sda5 [11:10] yes the uuid changed. i wonder why? [11:10] how could that happen, from the power cuts? [11:10] when you run mkswap it assigns a new uuid to the swap too. [11:11] maybe the swap was broken from the cuts, and your pc recretead the swap to fix it for you [11:11] wow [11:13] easy: backup and edit fstab, then you run 'sudo swapon -a' to turn swap on [11:14] (i always backup system files before edit) [11:14] dunno how to backup that kbmonkey [11:15] try: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak [11:15] ;) [11:15] simply copy the file [11:15] oh ok thats something i understand [11:16] and 'sudo gedit /etc/fstab' should then open it with gedit as a super user so you can edit it [11:16] and just replace that old uuid with the one you found just now. save and close [11:16] i have it open already [11:16] using all 9 desktops lol [11:16] okay. you can backup while its open too. [11:17] but dont understand backing it up if its not working [11:17] edit first? [11:18] because if something happens and fstab suddenly disappears, then what? [11:18] ...okay that's worst case he he [11:18] um will it not be in my rsync that i have on external [11:19] yes it will, i did not know you rsync to external :) [11:19] ah [11:20] this gives a clue why the recovery boot wont work, maybe it's uuid also changed? [11:20] sjoe [11:23] ok edited, hopefully properly now to reboot and watch [11:23] before [11:23] before you reboot, test if it works maybe? [11:23] how [11:24] oh sawpon [11:24] run 'sudo swapon -a' it will enable swap (just like when it reboots would) [11:24] swapon [11:24] if it worked, 'swapon -s' will now show a line that points to /sda5 [11:24] cannot find the device [11:25] really?! [11:25] :( [11:25] swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=11decf035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 [11:25] :( [11:25] oh, your uuid is wrong [11:26] you need to use the _whole_ uuid, not just the last part ;) [11:26] f035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 [11:26] 11decf035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 <- wrong one [11:26] you have an extra bit in the front '11dec' [11:28] this is the whole entry in fstab [11:28] swap was on /dev/sda7 during installation [11:28] UUID=11decf035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 none swap [11:29] with 11dec in it [11:29] i changed what came after 11dec [11:29] why only that after 11dec? [11:30] that is part of the old uuid, you need to replace 11dec too :) [11:30] i thought that was the uuid [11:30] that whole long string is the uuid, replace the whole thing [11:30] ok i try again [11:30] so: [11:30] UUID=11decf035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 none swap [11:30] becomes [11:31] UUID=f035afe9-a47d-4aca-9bf9-d6944c542259 none swap [11:34] and this next line stays like this? [11:34] sw 0 0 [11:35] or must i delete that [11:35] yes leave all that [11:35] only replace the uuid, dont change the rest [11:35] ok ty i try again [11:35] np [11:36] ok now i did sudo swapon -a [11:36] and it went to next prompt [11:36] yay [11:37] is that good? [11:37] hehe [11:37] swapon -s shows it now? [11:37] yes that looks good [11:37] /dev/sda5 partition 1983484 0 -1 [11:38] fixed! no need to reboot either [11:38] at least there is info there now [11:38] yay dankie baie [11:39] 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] oh werent they all there in the last paste [11:42] how do we find all of them plse [11:43] i meant the output from /dev/disk/by-uuid. those are your actual dis uuid's. [11:43] the file you pasted online, is just the config file. [11:43] you see, if the config file does not match the real values, the boot wont work :) [11:46] ok so i go gedit and copy the output? [11:46] gedit? no the ls output in your terminal [11:48] sorry for acting dof. must i cd to there? [11:48] head no good today [11:49] no that ls -l /dev/dis/by-uuid command :) we want to see all the disks [11:50] im being summoned [11:50] k [11:50] il be back soon [11:50] ty [12:05] it shows only 3 sda1 sda6 sda5 [12:06] will rather pm the output, using browsers uses too much data [12:16] that is fine Kilos, pm it [12:16] ty [12:16] work-work... be back later :p [12:16] whats your name again [12:16] hehe [12:16] 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] sjoe [12:18] pmed [12:23] Maaz, weather in pretoria south africa [12:23] Kilos: In Irene, South Africa at 12:27 PM SAST on August 07, 2011: 14°C; Humidity: 51%; Wind: NE at 11 km/h; Conditions: Mostly Cloudy; Sunrise/set: 6:42 AM SAST/5:44 PM SAST; Moonrise/set: 11:58 AM SAST/12:57 AM SAST [12:23] yay ty cocooncrash [12:23] Kilos: Erm, don't think I did anything to fix that [12:24] err, i don't know what to suggest Kilos sorry [12:25] your /grub.cfg points the first recovery partition to sda6 [12:25] and when you boot that one it doesnt work right? [12:25] np kbmonkey at least swap is working now. ty very much [12:25] :) [12:25] maybe it will now. who knows [12:28] i will try a reboot [12:28] and recovery mode [12:29] write down and errors you might see [12:30] got that last message inna popup window [12:30] hehe [12:30] bbl [12:40] nope recovery mode is corrupt. gets to running /scripts/init-bottom then goes to boot options again but everything in tiny fonts [12:40] there used to be lotsa stuff running after init--bottom [12:41] but i can still boot in here so we hope i dont need to do a recovery some time [12:49] hiya Squirm [12:52] hello [21:46] hI [21:46] any girls here? [21:47] niceguy: Not the right place for picking people up. [21:48] hi mrs fly [21:48] ok [21:59] haha!! [22:00] got to tell the fly to be careful :)
