[16:40] <blkperl> slangasek: install-grub is failing for me on trusty network installs :(
[16:40] <blkperl> it was working last month....
[16:47] <slangasek> blkperl: do you mean 'grub-install'?
[16:49] <blkperl> slangasek: yep
[16:55] <blkperl> slangasek: running 'grub-install --force "(hd0)"'  failed
[16:59] <blkperl> why does it think '(hd0)' is a valid device :)
[17:14] <slangasek> because grub device names are not unix device names
[17:15] <slangasek> you should file a bug report
[17:16] <blkperl> ok
[17:17] <blkperl> slangasek: against which package?
[17:17] <slangasek> it does look like the argument to grub-install is supposed to be an actual device file though, which makes sense; so the (hd0) is buggy, but no idea where it came from
[17:17] <slangasek> blkperl: grub2
[17:17] <blkperl> ok
[17:22] <blkperl> bug 1292628
[17:22] <lubotu1> bug 1292628 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "'grub-install --force "(hd0)"' fails on trusty during installation" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1292628
[17:23] <blkperl> what kind of information would be useful to include slangasek ?
[17:23] <slangasek> blkperl: more context from syslog, for starters
[17:25] <blkperl> ok, there wasn't much in syslog beside the grub-install failing
[17:32] <bkero> blkperl: what happens when you run the command manually?
[17:33] <blkperl> bkero: its failz :P
[17:34] <bkero> silently? strace?
[17:34] <bkero> You might need to supply a device map
[17:35] <blkperl> bkero: its fails with return 1
[17:36] <bkero> strace?
[17:36] <blkperl> im doing another install, i can do that it when it gets to the grub part
[17:36] <blkperl> although i might not have strace in the chroot
[17:36] <bkero> So compile a statically linked version and copy it on :P
[17:37] <bkero> actually just copy a dynamically linked copy over. It's only linked against libc and vdso.
[17:50] <blkperl> lame Trusty still can't detect 4 monitors
[18:06] <blkperl> bkero: what am i looking for in the strace output?
[18:06] <blkperl> slangasek: syslog context added
[18:06] <bkero> blkperl: a pastebin to dump it in
[18:16] <blkperl> bkero: http://pastebin.com/t0v0y6SM
[18:18] <bkero> blkperl: what does your partition table look like? I see 2 partitions
[18:19] <blkperl> bkero: boot, swap, lvm
[18:20] <bkero> blkperl: interesting
[18:20] <bkero> open("/dev/sda3", O_RDONLY)             = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[18:20] <bkero> open("/dev/sda4", O_RDONLY)             = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[18:20] <bkero> open("/dev/sda5", O_RDONLY)             = 5
[18:20] <bkero> sda1, sda2, and sda5?
[18:20] <blkperl> yeah...
[18:22] <bkero> blkperl: grub-probe --target=drive --device /dev/sda
[18:23] <bkero> blkperl: grub-probe --target=bios_hints --device /dev/sda
[18:24] <blkperl> first one says sda, second one says hd0
[18:24] <bkero> Yeah, that sounds correct
[18:26] <bkero> Must be a legit bug. The error is happening in grub-bios-setup
[18:26] <bkero> which has a note at the end of the help output that says 'DEVICE must be an OS device (e.g. /dev/sda).'
[18:27] <bkero> blkperl: echo "(hd0) /dev/sda" > /boot/device.map
[18:27] <bkero> that makes it work
[18:27] <bkero> err /boot/grub/device.map
[18:29] <blkperl> huh
[18:29] <blkperl> well thats unfortunate, i hope they fix it
[18:31] <blkperl> bkero: yep that totally fixes it :)
[18:31] <bkero> blkperl: added a comment
[18:33] <blkperl> bkero++
[18:34] <blkperl> slangasek: ^ So need anymore information now? :)
[18:42] <slangasek> blkperl: *I* don't; you'll need cjwatson to look at it
[18:43] <blkperl> :)
