Kilos | boots to initramfs prompt | 07:35 |
magespawn | what's wrong with it? | 07:35 |
Kilos | he did an upgrade and i think it crashed halfway | 07:36 |
Kilos | now wont boot from cd even | 07:36 |
magespawn | okay will check the net. what has been tried so far? | 07:36 |
Kilos | and i need to have him boot from cd to fix grub | 07:37 |

dLimit | I'm out.. me and mah band's gonna record today.. cheers | 07:37 |
Kilos | cheers dLimit | 07:37 |
magespawn | cheers | 07:37 |
Kilos | he is trying to reboot now but its taking forever | 07:37 |
magespawn | does he dual boot with windows? | 07:38 |
Kilos | yes win7 | 07:38 |
magespawn | it might be the windows causing it | 07:39 |
Kilos | now he is in the grub prompt | 07:40 |
magespawn | found this www.proposedsolution.com/solutions/ubuntu-booting-to-initramfs-prompt | 07:41 |
magespawn | brb | 07:41 |
magespawn | right back just had to restart the tablet | 07:53 |
Kilos | np | 07:53 |
Kilos | he is in grub> | 07:53 |
Kilos | i cant find commands to use there to restore grub | 07:53 |
magespawn | do you know what grub he was using? | 07:57 |
Kilos | the one in kubuntu 11.04 | 07:58 |
Kilos | must be grub2 i think | 07:58 |
Kilos | unless they gone to 3 | 07:58 |
magespawn | think so | 07:59 |
magespawn | www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.PHP?id=408 | 08:01 |
Kilos | he has to go out on a call now sorry magespawn | 08:03 |
magespawn | no worries | 08:03 |
Eames | Kilos this is a paste of the artice http://slexy.org/view/s2qYpWbAbW | 08:04 |
magespawn | that was me just from the laptop | 08:05 |
Kilos | ty greg that is you hey | 08:05 |
magespawn | yup | 08:05 |
magespawn | easier to search with a full keyboard | 08:06 |
Kilos | cool ty i will get it and see if it can help when he gets back | 08:06 |
Kilos | hehe helpful guy this Eames but doesnt say cheers | 08:07 |
magespawn | lol | 08:07 |
Kilos | hehe | 08:07 |
Kilos | that looks good from line20 | 08:10 |
Kilos | hopefully that will work. we will see when he gets back | 08:10 |
magespawn | can he reinstall or is that not an option? | 08:11 |
Kilos | it refuse to boot from cd | 08:12 |
Kilos | but if these grub. commands dont work i will get him to plug drive into the pc we fixed yesterday and run boot-repair | 08:13 |
Kilos | aw mrs_fly never goes off | 08:13 |
Kilos | mrs_fly, wb | 08:13 |
Kilos | hi superfly | 08:14 |
magespawn | that might just be a bios setting or damaged cd. I had pc refuse to boot from cd but boot fine from a live USB | 08:14 |
Kilos | then something corrupted the bios. he has checked it is set to boot from cd. thats how he installed kubntu and win7 | 08:15 |
Kilos | but these grub prompt commands sound promising | 08:15 |
Kilos | i been looking for them for ages back when i had similar probs. ty magespawn | 08:18 |
magespawn | no worries | 08:18 |
magespawn | I also tend to save links I find to my evernote account | 08:18 |
Kilos | im saving that whole paste to a file i will add here and on usb drive | 08:19 |
Kilos | lo MPD | 08:19 |
Kilos | bi | 08:21 |
magespawn | even quicker than that Eames character | 08:23 |
magespawn | Kilos I can share the evermore with if you want | 08:23 |
magespawn | evernote | 08:23 |
Kilos | what is it? | 08:24 |
magespawn | webclipper to clip info articles,links etc to share accross devices and people | 08:24 |
Kilos | oh then you just go there and look for links etc | 08:25 |
Kilos | like a folder somewhere | 08:25 |

Kilos | that would be nice ty | 08:26 |
Kilos | its a light page hey | 08:27 |
magespawn | not actually sure | 08:28 |
Kilos | this is so frustrating. we used this same pc of ians to fix his work drive yesterday and now this one crashes | 08:28 |
Kilos | and he cant sit still till we got it fixed because of call outs all the time | 08:29 |
