studio12 | On a scale of 1 to 10: What's your favorite color of the alphabet? Can you smell the musical colors? They taste like burning :P | 03:26 |
* studio12 12.04.1 Installer: "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. This is a fatal error." | 03:29 | |
ailo | studio12: multiple hard drives? | 03:32 |
studio12 | installing from live USB w/ 4GB persistence to 16GB USB | 03:33 |
studio12 | no hard drive | 03:34 |
ailo | studio12: What are you installing to? | 03:35 |
studio12 | 16GB USB drive formatted as ext2 used as "/" (no swap) | 03:35 |
ailo | studio12: So, you have two usb sticks. One from which you install, and one to which you install? | 03:37 |
studio12 | correct | 03:37 |
ailo | I'm guessing the one you installed to was not /dev/sda | 03:37 |
ailo | Don't remember if it was possible to decide where to install GRUB now | 03:37 |
ailo | studio12: You can add GRUB afterwards | 03:38 |
studio12 | ubiquity (correct?) reported that there was only /dev/sda to install to | 03:38 |
studio12 | the lights blinked during file copy showing data was going the right way | 03:38 |
studio12 | (the USB drives have activity LEDS) | 03:39 |
ailo | studio12: If everything else went fine, just follow this and you get GRUB installed http://www.av8n.com/computer/htm/grub-reinstall.htm | 03:39 |
studio12 | well the installation is not complete. i've done this a few times to remeber there is a few more steps it will do after installing grub | 03:40 |
ailo | Usually it's the last steo | 03:40 |
ailo | step* | 03:40 |
ailo | Before reboot | 03:40 |
studio12 | so that would be just updates then | 03:40 |
studio12 | so i should open up console and install grub manulally right now? | 03:41 |
studio12 | manually* | 03:42 |
ailo | studio12: Ah, yeah. You're still in the live environment | 03:42 |
ailo | Well, yea. But, just installing it will probably not work. Following the steps in the link will | 03:42 |
studio12 | k | 03:43 |
ailo | A major seems red to me. Another guy says green | 03:44 |
studio12 | this just isnt working | 04:16 |
holstein | this? | 04:17 |
studio12 | sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/radicula /dev/sda "/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Your embedding area is unusually small. core.img won't fit in it.." | 04:20 |
holstein | studio12: what are you doing? | 04:20 |
studio12 | installing to a 16gb flashdrive | 04:20 |
studio12 | ubiquity failed to install grub | 04:20 |
holstein | studio12: id didnt for me | 04:21 |
holstein | it* | 04:21 |
holstein | studio12: what iso did you use? | 04:21 |
studio12 | i know i usually dont have any issues | 04:21 |
studio12 | 12.04.1 AMD64 | 04:21 |
studio12 | so grub wont install.. now what? restart, format and start all over? | 04:27 |
holstein | studio12: the question is.. why wont grub install? | 04:27 |
holstein | studio12: what would i do? | 04:27 |
holstein | i would test the hard drive... make sure that you can partition it | 04:27 |
holstein | studio12: i would consider trying something like plop.. or gag.. some 3rd party bootloader that doesnt need installed.. just to see whats going on | 04:28 |
studio12 | im in the live enviornment right now. setup just failed | 04:28 |
holstein | studio12: setup? | 04:29 |
holstein | !md5 | 04:29 |
ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 04:29 |
holstein | you could verify the installer | 04:30 |
studio12 | i dont have windows | 04:30 |
studio12 | i have this live USB | 04:30 |
holstein | studio12: i didnt imply you have windwos | 04:30 |
studio12 | the link did | 04:30 |
holstein | the md5 link gives examples for checking in windwos as well as linux | 04:30 |
holstein | studio12: assuming one has downloaded the iso's and wants to confirm in windows | 04:31 |
holstein | studio12: you can just check in the other one.. or in the menu of the live CD at boot up | 04:31 |
studio12 | that sounds like the best coarse of action | 04:31 |
holstein | you can tap shift and see "check disc" or something like that | 04:31 |
studio12 | ill try that now | 04:31 |
holstein | studio12: i usually just start testing from the beginning.. the installer... the hard driver.. the ram | 04:32 |
holstein | there is a memtest on the live CE | 04:32 |
holstein | CD* | 04:32 |
ailo | Sorry I missed that | 04:36 |
ailo | He wasn't following instructions well | 04:36 |
ailo | As /dev/sda was not his install HD | 04:36 |
ailo | holstein: If you had read the backscroll, his GRUB install failed, cause /dev/sda was the install medium | 04:37 |
holstein | ailo: i didnt go back very far | 04:38 |
holstein | i should have, but i was chating elsewhere :/ | 04:39 |
studio12 | disk check completed without errors | 04:41 |
studio12 | memtest passed | 04:42 |
ailo | studio12: Hey, seems like you might have missed something during the GRUB install | 04:42 |
studio12 | what happened? | 04:42 |
ailo | studio12: You need to make sure you mount the right partition, and that you install to the right device | 04:42 |
ailo | /dev/sda was your installation medium, from what I gathered | 04:43 |
ailo | So, not where you should install GRUB | 04:43 |
studio12 | well i already deleted the partition with gparted im starting over. something went horribly wrong i've never had that happen b4 when the disk and drive were good | 04:43 |
ailo | studio12: You would have been fine just installing GRUB | 04:43 |
studio12 | last time sda was the 2nd blank USB disk. this time it is correctly showing up as sdb in gparted | 04:44 |
ailo | Well, then the install will work. Just a bit of wasted time on both our accounts | 04:44 |
studio12 | i always partition with gparted first b4 beginning the installation | 04:45 |
studio12 | failed to boot. cant find /dev/sdb installing again, this time the destination drive is reported as /dev/sdb again | 06:17 |
studio12 | reported as /dev/sda* | 06:17 |
ailo-w | studio12: Why not just install GRUB manually? | 06:18 |
ailo-w | You'll save a bit of time | 06:18 |
studio12 | i will if it fails again. i have a good fealing about this boot | 06:19 |
ailo-w | I guess you're not a Star Wars person | 06:19 |
studio12 | in the meantime i filed a bug report on the failed install | 06:21 |
Studio12 | everything is good now | 07:12 |
ailo-w | Studio12: Glad to hear it | 07:30 |

sebastien_studio | Bonjour, depuis le passage en 12.10 (64bits) je trouve que par moment j'ai de gros ralentissements... et vous ? | 16:06 |
leo_ | hi | 17:21 |
gaetano | someone knows what kind of error is it? : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1307692/ | 17:35 |
UberMusik1 | greetings .. anyone familiar with the m-audio 24/96? i'm trying to monitor the S/PDIF i'm feeding from an external device, and I'm not familiar with the mixer settings in UbuntuStudio to get this working (recently migrated from WinBlows which had a dedicated mixer software for the card ) … could someone please point me in the right direction :-) | 18:09 |
Chamunks | I've followed a youtube video to set up Jackd with pulseaudio-modules-jack and thats running beautifully but I cant seem to pipe my mic anywhere. | 18:23 |
UberMusik1 | never mind .. i figured it out .. solution for the curious: i opened alsamixer in a terminal and made sure the S/PDIF Multi levels were up in the capture settings .. then i used Patchage, and routed channel 12 (capture) to my Ardour track input .. and my signal made it through .. fantastic | 18:23 |
