|---|---|---|
| cyberglyph | anybody in here? | 15:42 |
| cyberglyph | I installed xubuntu alongside windows server and now I get a flashing grub prompt now what? | 20:10 |
| wilee-nilee | cyberglyph, Is this a msdos partitioning setup, and is there more then one HD? | 20:12 |
| cyberglyph | one hdd | 20:12 |
| wilee-nilee | any uefi, raid..etc | 20:13 |
| cyberglyph | msdos partition I don't believe so I just followed the gui prompts to install | 20:13 |
| cyberglyph | no its older system no sufi i wish lol | 20:13 |
| cyberglyph | uefi sorry | 20:13 |
| wilee-nilee | cyberglyph, msdos is a standard setup. HD amount? | 20:13 |
| cyberglyph | 61 gig hdd | 20:14 |
| cyberglyph | i thought it would boot into windows or xubuntu with the choice | 20:14 |
| wilee-nilee | cyberglyph, the easiest way for me to diagnose is with a script you can run from a live cd, however you may just need grub reloaded to the mbr, what sounds best for you? | 20:15 |
| cyberglyph | I can run the live cd again | 20:15 |
| wilee-nilee | it should give you a grub menu if it is all correct, what xubuntu release is it? cyberglyph | 20:15 |
| wilee-nilee | cyberglyph, here is a tool, use the bootinfo summary button and post the url. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 20:17 |
| cyberglyph | its 12.0 xfce relase | 20:17 |
| wilee-nilee | Cool, the script generated will tell us what is up and if anything is missing and other cool stuff. ;) | 20:18 |
| cyberglyph | so just reboot into the live cd again | 20:18 |
| wilee-nilee | cyberglyph, Yeah, it can be run from a install, or a live cd. | 20:18 |
| cyberglyph | ok rebooting now | 20:19 |
| wilee-nilee | cyberglyph,come back to the channel while in the live | 20:19 |
| cyberglyph | ok in the live version now what | 20:25 |
| wilee-nilee | cyberglyph, here is a tool, use the bootinfo summary button and post the url. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 20:26 |
| cyberglyph | go to that site on my linux machine ok will do | 20:27 |
| wilee-nilee | just load the app per the instruction and launch it and pick the bootinfo summary button, you will get a url and post it cyberglyph | 20:27 |
| cyberglyph | that fixed it ! wee! | 20:43 |
| wilee-nilee | cyberglyph, cool I wondered if the basic fix would work. ;) | 20:44 |
| cyberglyph | yeah it booted into the grub and then I picked linux and boot it booted | 20:44 |
| cyberglyph | the only other problem I have is that there is another HDD in the system but it doesn't see it not sure why | 20:45 |
| wilee-nilee | cyberglyph, Does it have a OS you are looking to boot? post that url of the script if you saved it. | 20:46 |
| wilee-nilee | I asked about more then one HD to begin with to make sure we were om the same page and needed details. | 20:47 |
| cyberglyph | the bios sees the other hdd but any software doesn't thats why I wasn't worried | 20:49 |
| vastkahuna | Does anyone know how to get netflix to work on linux? | 22:54 |
