| luc4_mac | Hi! Is there somebody who can tell me what is the difference between failsafe and normal mode? I need to find out why a bug is reproducible only when in normal mode. | 20:27 |
| penguin42 | luc4_mac: Just checking, do you mean 'failsafe' as in the login bit, or something else? | 20:30 |
| penguin42 | something in grub (although mine has a 'recovery mode' not failsafe | 20:31 |
| luc4_mac | penguin42: the one chosen in grub. | 20:31 |
| penguin42 | luc4_mac: OK, for me that's called 'recovery mode' - is that what you have or does it really say failsafe? | 20:31 |
| luc4_mac | penguin42: mmh… maybe I confused the names… I can check... | 20:32 |
| penguin42 | luc4_mac: If it is the recovery mode thing then look in /boot/grub/grub.cfg you can see a normal boot entry and a recovery mode entry | 20:33 |
| luc4_mac | penguin42: anyway, I'm quite sure with both I can't reproduce my bug, but for some reason failsafe (the one from the login) does nothing now, so I can't test. | 20:33 |
| penguin42 | luc4_mac: OK, so if it's the one from grub you should be able to find the two options in grub.cfg | 20:34 |
| luc4_mac | penguin42: by nothing, I mean I login with failsafe, and the login screen turns out again. | 20:34 |
| penguin42 | curious | 20:34 |
| * penguin42 returns to his TV prog - back in the next break | 20:35 | |
| luc4_mac | penguin42: I clearly remember it turned of the X server some weeks ago. | 20:35 |
| luc4_mac | mmh… maybe it was menu.cfg... | 20:36 |
| penguin42 | luc4_mac: The grub.cfg etc does tend to pass a nomodeset or similar which may change the way X starts - so that can happen | 20:44 |
| luc4_mac | penguin42: do you mean menu.lst? | 20:45 |
| penguin42 | luc4_mac: I don't have a menu.lst - I think that's a Grub1ism - where as Grub2 has the grub.cfg | 20:46 |
| luc4_mac | penguin42: mmh… locate can find only /usr/share/doc/grub-common/examples/grub.cfg. | 20:47 |
| penguin42 | luc4_mac: Look in /boot/grub | 20:47 |
| luc4_mac | penguin42: no, it is not there. | 20:48 |
| penguin42 | what is in there? I wonder if you're still running Grub1 | 20:48 |
| luc4_mac | penguin42: I commonly edit menu.lst when I want to change grub configuration. | 20:48 |
| luc4_mac | penguin42: this machine should be perfectly update | 20:48 |
| penguin42 | luc4_mac: It'll stick with Grub1 if that was what was installed originally | 20:49 |
| penguin42 | tv again | 20:49 |
| luc4_mac | penguin42: then that is the cause :-) | 20:49 |
| penguin42 | luc4_mac: That's fine, so you should be able to find it in the menu.lst in /boot (or /boot grub?) and you should see the different parameters it passes in each case | 20:59 |
| luc4_mac | penguin42: frequent advertismente there! :-) yes, I see "ro signle" for recovery mode. | 21:00 |
| penguin42 | hmm is that all? | 21:01 |
| penguin42 | luc4_mac: OK, look boot it and tell us exactly what you see on your grub menu, exactly how it's named etc | 21:02 |
| penguin42 | time for a shower - back in about 1.5hours | 21:02 |
| luc4_mac | penguin42: weird but yes, it seems… this is the line /vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic root=UUID=fa298373-c25e-4dd6-a83c-5d2c65e4e996 ro single | 21:02 |
| penguin42 | luc4_mac: That's a bit harsher than the one in the grub2 - single mode is pretty hard core - it turns pretty much everything off, and it seems unlikely that's what you're using tbh | 21:03 |
| penguin42 | anyway, shower time! | 21:03 |
| luc4_mac | penguin42: no problems, see you! | 21:03 |
