[05:27] <Afdal> Hello, I'm having trouble installing GRUB Loader
[05:29] <Afdal>  Executing 'grub-install /blah/blah' failed.
[05:29] <Afdal> Fatal error occurred
[05:29] <Afdal> I have two HDDs in a RAID0 setup and another for storage
[05:29] <Afdal> It lets me choose others partitions, including non-RAID ones
[05:29] <Afdal> And every single one gives that same error
[05:33] <phillw> Afdal: give me couple of minutes, I know there is a resource for this... I've just got to dig it up
[05:33] <bioterror> Afdal, software or hardware raid?
[05:35] <phillw> Afdal: are you using desktop image or alternate?
[05:36] <phillw> bioterror: you are more up to speed than myself, are you okay to take over?
[05:36] <bioterror> no I am not
[05:37] <Afdal> hardware RAID
[05:38] <Afdal> And I'm using the  Xubuntu desktop AMD64 CD
[05:39] <bioterror> with hardware raid it should show the drive just as /dev/sda if I'm right
[05:40] <Afdal> /dev/sda is what it defaults to but that's not what any of my partitions are called
[05:40] <bioterror> grub doesnt go to partitions
[05:40] <Afdal> I have my RAID0 partitions labeled /dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb
[05:40] <bioterror> it goes to drive
[05:40] <Afdal> hmmmm
[05:41] <Afdal> What is IS doing however
[05:42] <Afdal> Is listing my RAID0 drives as /sda and sbd respectively
[05:42] <phillw> Afdal: are you on fakeraid?
[05:42] <Afdal> Along with their combined drive as /dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb
[05:42] <Afdal> No, it's a hardware RAID
[05:43] <Afdal> So it's recognizing the RAID setup along with the individual drives
[05:43] <Afdal> GParted, that is
[05:46] <Afdal> Can you point me to the grub loader installer on a Live setup?  I'd like to try this again
[05:46] <Afdal> My non-RAID drive is listed as /dev/sdc and I don't remember trying that specifically
[05:47] <bioterror> just a moment
[05:47] <Afdal> Maybe it just can figure out how to put the loader on a hardware RAID setup
[05:47] <bioterror> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[05:47] <bioterror> tis is the newest way :P
[05:49] <phillw> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1686184 gives some further info. It did take a while for Grub2 to handle RAID. if you still have probelms, try burg. But the grub people seem to have raid working now.
[05:49] <Afdal> Ugh, I have to burn a new CD to use that?
[05:50] <phillw> Afdal: if you want to repair a system, then yes, you cannot boot from it.
[05:50] <Afdal> That's not on the live CD?
[05:50] <Afdal> err desktop CD, whatever
[05:51] <phillw> yeah, just drop it o command prompt
[05:51] <Afdal> What's the shortcut for that on xubuntu
[05:51] <Afdal> terminal emulator?
[05:59] <Afdal> Still there phillw?
[06:00] <Afdal> Can you give me some help with these GRUB options?
[06:00] <Afdal> I want to boot my Windows XP installation by default but it only lists my xubuntu partition on the "OS to boot by default:" menu
[06:02] <phillw> Afdal: back
[06:03] <Afdal> And what is the options "Separare /boot partition:" for?
[06:03] <Afdal> And what is the option "Separate /boot partition:" for?
[06:04] <phillw> in what order did you add ubuntu Vs windows?
[06:04] <phillw> ie, windoes 1st installed?
[06:04] <Afdal> Windows then xubuntu
[06:05] <phillw> okies Afdal please give me a couple of minutes, as I've just done a re-install & need to track down my bookmarks
[06:10] <Afdal> brb, I'm going to see if this worked
[06:10] <phillw> Afdal: follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708 to get your win system happy first, then put grub on when win can boot happily
[06:10] <phillw> As you wish...
[06:22] <Afdal> Well that didn't
[06:22] <Afdal> work
[06:23] <Afdal> The Boot Repair utility didn't give any error when installing GRUB Loader, but it isn't appearing when I boot
[06:24] <Afdal> What was the link again phillw
[06:25] <Afdal> My bookmarks are did since I'm still on a Live OS
[06:25] <Afdal> dead*

[06:30] <Afdal> thanks
[06:43] <Afdal> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/nvidia_aeedagcb /dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb/

[06:46] <Afdal> /dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb/ is my combined RAID0 drive
[07:02] <nlsthzn> So I am trying to share my music collection on an Ubuntu machine with a Windows machine, enable sharing in Nautilus, it shows up in Windows but I only have access to a few of the sub folders, the others give me access denied... any ideas?
[07:03] <bioterror> I have always shared with smb.conf
[07:03] <bioterror> as it handles permissions without a problems
[07:04] <nlsthzn> bioterror, manual editing the file you mean?
[07:04] <bioterror> yep
[07:04]  * nlsthzn goes off to look at it a bit... thanks
[07:04] <bioterror> just a moment
[07:05] <bioterror> http://paste.ubuntu.com/836242/ like that
[07:06] <nlsthzn> bioterror, k, cool...
[07:19] <nlsthzn> bioterror, lol, that just borked samba for me... but I did figure it out... just gave other read access and applied to all sub folders... seems some of them where missing this
[07:19] <nlsthzn> thanks for the assistance

[16:58] <s-fox> Goodbye.
[19:42] <ubuntu_> Hello
[19:42] <Afdal> Can anyone tell me how to get Grub2 on a floppy?
[19:43] <Afdal> from a Live OS?
[19:46] <Afdal> GRUB installer is being literally retarded and won't let me install it on any of my hardware RAID0 partitions
[19:46] <Afdal> So this will just have to do for now
[19:47] <phillw> Afdal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy
[19:47] <Afdal> thanks
[19:49] <Afdal> hmm
[19:49] <Afdal> When I try  mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
[19:50] <Afdal> It says "mount point /media/floppy does not exist"
[19:51] <Afdal> wat do :>
[20:41]  * Afdal pokes phillw
[20:42] <phillw> Afdal: ??
[20:42] <Afdal> It says "mount point /media/floppy does not exist"
[20:42] <Afdal> When I try  mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
[20:44] <phillw> Afdal: tioyu have to create the mount point first.... sudo mkdir  /media/floppy
[20:44] <Afdal> ah thanks
[20:44] <Afdal> that guide has those steps out of order for some reason
[20:46] <Afdal> Now I'm in /boot/grub
[20:46] <Afdal> and cp stage1 stage2 /media/floppy/boot/grub
[20:46] <Afdal> says
[20:47] <Afdal> cannot stat 'stage1': no such file or directory
[20:47] <Afdal> cannot stat 'stage2': no such file or directory
[20:48] <Afdal> Is that because I'm on a Live OS?
[20:49] <Afdal> I can't get into my actual installation without a bootloader D:<
[21:11] <Afdal> Seriously, is there at least a way to boot the system OS from a Live CD
[21:11] <Afdal> So I can at least save stuff while I'm trying to figure this out?
[21:14] <philipballew_> Afdal, chroot into it after you mount your hd
[21:15] <Afdal> Do what now?
[21:15] <Afdal> Will that run the whole system off my HDD or just allow me to run a command prompt?
[21:16] <Afdal> well either way that should let me access my /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:16] <Afdal> Can you explain to me how to do that?
[21:27] <MrChrisDruif> !grub
[21:27] <ubot2> GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[21:27] <MrChrisDruif> philipballew; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[21:31] <Afdal> How do I "chroot" into my actual installation from a Live CD?
[22:16] <Afdal> I need some serious help now
[22:17] <urlin2u> Afdal, can you give the channel a hint?
[22:17] <Afdal> I managed to get grub installed on my RAID0 dual drives
[22:18] <Afdal> But it won't actually load Xubuntu
[22:18] <Afdal> It just loads this BusyBox built-in shell
[22:18] <Afdal> Furthermore, now I can't access my Windows XP boot
[22:19] <Afdal> What do I do?
[22:56] <asdf___> I seem to have broken something in windows after installing ubuntu on a partition
[22:57] <asdf___> windows shows up in grub and I can select it, but everytime i boot into windows it loads a system recovery program
[22:57] <asdf___> and it can never resolve the issue
[22:57] <asdf___> any suggestions...
[22:57] <Unit193> Are there two listings for Windows?
[22:58] <asdf___> no
[22:58] <asdf___> just one
[22:58] <asdf___> im on Ubuntu right now on the second partition
[23:00] <Unit193> Alright, can you install and run os-prober? It's a CLI program.
[23:00] <asdf___> ya
[23:00] <Afdal> I've got a similar problem
[23:00] <asdf___> i installed os-prober
[23:01] <asdf___> with no arguments to os prober i get: /dev/sda1:Windows 7 (loader):Windows:chain
[23:02] <Unit193> Did it also update grub? It should tell you.
[23:02] <urlin2u> asdf___, this you only linux install?
[23:03] <Unit193> Err... Yeah, that question.
[23:03] <asdf___> If its the only linux OS on the partition.  Yes
[23:03] <Unit193> On your computer?
[23:03] <asdf___> yea
[23:03] <urlin2u> asdf___, I mean altogether?
[23:03] <asdf___> yea
[23:03] <urlin2u> asdf___, you sure windows is still there?
[23:04] <Afdal> Well I'm tired of dealing with this garbage right now
[23:04] <Afdal> Can anyone point me to a grub removal tool on a Live OS?
[23:04] <asdf___> during the install procedure i selected "install alongside windows7"
[23:04] <Afdal> So I can at least get this off my drives and load up XP again
[23:05] <urlin2u> Afdal, you just relaod the MS bootloader usually with an XP disc, raid not sure.
[23:05] <asdf___> or something along those lines, and in grub i have the option to load win7, after selecting win 7, it begins to load but into a "recovery state" not sure what its called
[23:05] <Afdal> Yeah with RAID on XP you need a floppy to load drivers so it'll recognize it
[23:05] <Afdal> Luckily I have that
[23:06] <Afdal> all right then, I'll try that
[23:06] <urlin2u> asdf___, have you tried again after the update-grub?
[23:07] <asdf___> ill run it now
[23:07] <asdf___> is it sudo update-grub?
[23:07] <urlin2u> asdf___, could be the boot flag is on the wrong NTFS partition, number of answers here.
[23:08] <Unit193> Quite.
[23:08] <Unit193> os-prober just happens to be useful (or has been in the past.)
[23:08] <asdf___> i wanna say that its something explicitly wrong with win7
[23:08] <urlin2u> Unit193, should be installed already.
[23:09] <asdf___> Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
[23:09] <asdf___> Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-14-generic
[23:09] <Unit193> urlin2u: I'd think so, but didn't appear to be installed by defualt in the info page.
[23:09] <asdf___> thats after sudo update grub
[23:10] <urlin2u> asdf___, run this script in ubuntu and pastebin the results.txt  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[23:11] <urlin2u> !pastebin | asdf___

[23:14] <asdf___> ...had to install gawk
[23:14] <asdf___> when I run boot info i get a error
[23:15] <urlin2u> awk or gawk needed at times asdf___
[23:15] <asdf___>  "(" unexpected (expecting "fi")
[23:16] <Unit193> Just to be clear, you used  sudo bash script.sh  ?
[23:16] <asdf___> no
[23:16] <asdf___> sudo sh boot.sh
[23:16] <Unit193> Need bash
[23:16] <asdf___> ok
[23:16] <asdf___> ran it
[23:17] <urlin2u> asdf___, drag it to the desktop and run this. sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script.sh
[23:17] <asdf___> how do I paste the results to irc
[23:18] <urlin2u> look above at the pastebin from the bot
[23:18] <urlin2u> asdf___, ^^^
[23:18] <asdf___> i http://paste.ubuntu.com/837210/
[23:18] <asdf___> like that ?????
[23:19] <urlin2u> asdf___, no the results.txt generated
[23:20] <asdf___> http://paste.ubuntu.com/837215/
[23:20] <asdf___> how about now
[23:21] <urlin2u> asdf___, thas it. :)
[23:21] <urlin2u> asdf___, so where did this install of W7 come from?
[23:23] <asdf__> im back
[23:23] <asdf__> my laptop froze
[23:24] <urlin2u> asdf__,  so where did this install of W7 come from?
[23:24] <asdf__> i installed win7 first...then after i installed ubuntu ...does that answer your question
[23:24] <urlin2u> asdf__, where did you get the disc to install windows?
[23:25] <urlin2u> it has some unusual notations just wondering asdf__
[23:25] <asdf__> got a copy from a friend
[23:25] <urlin2u> asdf__, I can't really help sorry. :(
[23:26] <asdf__> why not
[23:27] <urlin2u> the /grldr is not part of a standard MS disc fior install. asdf__
[23:27] <urlin2u> as fra as I kmnow anyway
[23:27] <urlin2u> far
[23:28] <asdf__> hmmmm is that whats causing it not to load win*?
[23:28] <urlin2u> asdf__, I'm not accusing you here but it is seen in pirated copies.
[23:28] <urlin2u> or cracked keys
[23:29] <Unit193> Unit193: grldr = grub4dos
[23:29] <asdf__> so what would you suggest
[23:30] <asdf__> is that whats causing it to not boot?
[23:32] <urlin2u> asdf__, not sure, but ethically and per channel poicy I feel uncomfortable here, and you also running precise that is the #ubuntu+1 channel.
[23:32] <urlin2u> policy
[23:32] <asdf__> ok, i appreciate your help
[23:33] <urlin2u> asdf__, cool. :)
[23:34] <urlin2u> asdf__, if you might ask your friend whats up if you don't know.
[23:38] <urlin2u> Unit193, that was a pirate install windows does not use a grub4dos, hehe.
[23:40] <Unit193> Heh, not by default it sure doesn't. :P
[23:41] <urlin2u> yeah, I had one on the windows channel yesterday the user was lieing about all sorts of stuff stock hp purchase with no upgrade form XP but the boot had all the XP and thegrldr in it.
[23:44] <urlin2u> Funny thing is a cracked copy can have all kinds of malwarer keyloggers rootkit possibilities why people do that is beyond me.
[23:44] <Unit193> Free == AWESOME!1!1  :P
[23:45] <urlin2u> lol windows can be gotten very cheaply if a person looks hard enough, I got W7 fpro or 25$ with an student upgrade
[23:46] <ubuntu> Whelp, that didn't work
[23:46] <Afdal> Going into XP's recovery console to replace the NT loader didn't get rid of GRUB
[23:47] <Afdal> I either need to fix this issue or remove GRUB entirely from my drives if I want to boot up Windows XP again
[23:47] <urlin2u> Afdal, you put grub in the mbr right?
[23:47] <Afdal> What do you mean?
[23:47] <urlin2u> Afdal, sda
[23:47] <urlin2u> no partition #
[23:47] <Afdal> sda and sdb are my RAID drives
[23:48] <Afdal> I used /dev/mapper/nvidiablahblah, my RAID0 setup that was recognized
[23:48] <Afdal> sdc is my storage drive and I think I put it in that too
[23:48] <urlin2u> Afdal, right where did you install grub to, and as soon as I see blah blah I disconnect by the way.
[23:48] <Afdal> Because I was having so much trouble I just wanted to see if it worked
[23:49] <Afdal> :/
[23:49] <Afdal> I installed it to dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb
[23:49] <urlin2u> Afdal, since this is now a recover XP boot go to ##windows.
[23:49] <Afdal> And dev/sdc
[23:49] <Afdal> No, I want to solve this stupid grub problem
[23:49] <Afdal> So I can dual boot both
[23:50] <Afdal> Right now grub isn't loading xubuntu
[23:50] <Afdal> It's just loading this console called BusyBox built-in shell
[23:50] <Afdal> I'm on my Live CD
[23:51] <urlin2u> Afdal, I can't really help I know nothing about raid, and you have sort of been haphazard here as well. in your frustration.
[23:51] <Afdal> D:>
[23:51] <bioterror> busybox sounds more l ike grub is working
[23:51] <bioterror> but something else is broken
[23:51] <Afdal> How do I tell grub to load xubuntu?
