| Culiforge | Hello, was working with some others yesterday to get a broken install running.. reinstalled grub... had to run, now neither install will boot. | 11:50 |
| coalwater | hi Culiforge | 11:59 |
| coalwater | does grub start up ? or does it fail | 11:59 |
| coalwater | do u get a grub rescue or something? | 12:00 |
| Culiforge | coalwater, grub starts | 12:01 |
| Culiforge | rescue/recovery won't finish boot either | 12:01 |
| coalwater | does it show the operating systems list correctly ? | 12:02 |
| Culiforge | as far as I can tell... nothing glaringly obvious is different from when it was booting correctly | 12:02 |
| Culiforge | http://paste.ubuntu.com/829922/ | 12:02 |
| Culiforge | coalwater, to give you some backstory... I installed an nvidia 8400gs and when I went down for restart to install the driver, that's when all the trouble started | 12:04 |
| Culiforge | 10.04 btw | 12:04 |
| coalwater | i have that same, it doesn't work as i wish it would but it works | 12:04 |
| coalwater | did u install from the drivers thingy? | 12:05 |
| coalwater | additional drivers or w/e | 12:05 |
| Culiforge | thingy? you mean the restricted drivers? yes | 12:05 |
| coalwater | can u start a terminal at least? | 12:05 |
| Culiforge | i'm in a live env atm and yes I can term and mount the disks | 12:06 |
| coalwater | i would try to rename the xorg.conf and see if it will start | 12:06 |
| coalwater | like mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup or something | 12:06 |
| Culiforge | I don't want to sound terse, so please excuse if I do... but I've tried that | 12:07 |
| coalwater | full path is /etc/X11/xorg.conf in case u dontk now | 12:07 |
| coalwater | hm | 12:07 |
| coalwater | ko | 12:07 |
| coalwater | ok* | 12:07 |
| Culiforge | I've got a list of things that I have tried so i'll let you know as they come ok? | 12:07 |
| Culiforge | nomodeset in grub boot param, glxpayload.. | 12:08 |
| Culiforge | reinstall grub.. update grub.. | 12:08 |
| coalwater | well, nvidia usually takes the old xorg as backup, did u try to restore it temporarily | 12:08 |
| Culiforge | did'nt have an old xorg unless nvidia put it somewher I don't know about | 12:09 |
| coalwater | it should be xorg.conf.bak or something like that | 12:10 |
| Culiforge | there;s an xorg failsafe there... | 12:12 |
| Culiforge | under etc/X11/ | 12:12 |
| Culiforge | xorg.conf.failsafe is full name | 12:13 |
| coalwater | hm yea i have that one too, idk whats it for though | 12:14 |
| Culiforge | it's the same format as the conf and appears to have generic vanilla values | 12:15 |
| coalwater | u could try it, and hope that it disables the nvidia driver for now | 12:15 |
| Culiforge | fbdev instead of nvidia driver | 12:15 |
| Culiforge | so rename it then and .bak the orig? | 12:16 |
| coalwater | yea, but take backup from the current one, also just use cp not mv | 12:17 |
| coalwater | o ok | 12:18 |
| coalwater | yea | 12:18 |
| coalwater | sry missed ur last line | 12:18 |
| Culiforge | just did it through gui.. all seems ok | 12:18 |
| coalwater | what i hate about this process,, is that u reboot after every change lol | 12:18 |
| Culiforge | yeah, and on a fail.. (too many of 'em) have to reload the live os just to communicate.. :) | 12:19 |
| Culiforge | alright, be back in a few ... | 12:20 |
| Culiforge | coalwater, back... no love there | 12:31 |
| coalwater | sad lol | 12:35 |
| coalwater | it fails on the gui starting up right? | 12:35 |
| coalwater | u said even recovery fails, u cant even run a root terminal ? | 12:36 |
| Culiforge | I get the ugly bootsplash and then a 'loading please wait' | 12:36 |
| Culiforge | right | 12:36 |
| coalwater | that's strange | 12:36 |
| Culiforge | if I esc during that I get a plymouth .pid error | 12:37 |
| Culiforge | was working with a couple ppl yesterday and chroot'd and all kinds of fancy stuff. reinstalled grub now i've got 2 broken installs.. same behavior with both | 12:41 |
| Culiforge | i'm not complaining, we just didn't get a chance to follow up | 12:41 |
| coalwater | you mean here on the irc? | 12:43 |
| Culiforge | yeah | 12:43 |
| Culiforge | this has been a rough going project so far.. get on the channel about 5 or 6 am, post quetion, explain what's been done, what started it try a few things, then it's usually me who runs out of time and has to go. | 12:47 |
| coalwater | im reading it | 12:48 |
| Culiforge | there may be some in the nvidia channel as well as ubuntu | 12:48 |
| coalwater | yea maybe | 12:49 |
| Culiforge | coalwater, well, in standard style.. 2 1/2 hrs and now it's family time on sunday morning.. I'll try and be back later today | 13:25 |
| Culiforge | coalwater, thanks for looking into this for me | 13:25 |
| coalwater | np, hope it gets fixed at some point lol | 13:29 |
| Culiforge | indeed | 13:29 |
| Culiforge | I'm coming up on 2 weeks behind on my work. :) :( | 13:29 |
| coalwater | is ur home and system 1 partition | 13:30 |
| coalwater | or separate? | 13:30 |
| Culiforge | one | 13:30 |
| coalwater | yea , well i learned to split them lol, allows reinstallation without loosing a lot of stuff | 13:31 |
| Culiforge | I'm goin to do the same once I get recovered from this | 13:32 |
| Culiforge | anywho, gotta run | 13:32 |
| coalwater | take care | 13:32 |
| Culiforge | you too | 13:32 |
