| emmetea | quick question, i was going to edit the grub2/displays page because there is an error but it is locked. who should i inform them about the error in the command syntax? | 03:18 |
|---|---|---|
| emmetea | ping? | 03:26 |
| phillw | emmetea: log on and you will get edit privalidges | 03:26 |
| emmetea | i have, but the document is immutable | 03:27 |
| emmetea | it is a simple spelling mistake, they have to find out versioning info type in "grub-install -v" rather than "grub-install -V" | 03:28 |
| emmetea | however the command they have compiles with verbose information | 03:29 |
| phillw | emmetea: can you post the link to the page | 03:31 |
| emmetea | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Displays#Installing_Splash_Images | 03:32 |
| phillw | The installed version of GRUB on the system can be obtained by running grub-install -v | 03:34 |
| phillw | is what I see on edit? | 03:34 |
| phillw | emmetea: ^^ | 03:35 |
| emmetea | i'm sorry i didn't understand what you meant, but yes that is the line i am talking about | 03:36 |
| phillw | emmetea: the flag you asked for is the one being used? "grub-install -v" rather than "grub-install -V" | 03:39 |
| phillw | I do not see a problem when I view the page with what you have suggested ? Can you please explain what you are seeing and what the page is ? | 03:39 |
| emmetea | i'm logged in and the page is uneditable. that line there should be a "grub-install -V" but they have "grub-install -v" the lowercase "-v" runs grub-install with verbose messaging, while "-V" shows what version of grub2 you have installed. | 03:41 |
| emmetea | does that make sense? sorry if my english isn't great | 03:44 |
| phillw | emmetea: try now :) | 03:47 |
| emmetea | awesome, thank you :D i happened to notice because instead of output of "grub-install (GRUB) 2.02~beta2-9" it was a long list of things. | 03:48 |
| phillw | emmetea: you should be able to edit that page. | 03:49 |
| phillw | pleia2: can you get in touch with emmetea and find out why they could not make that edit for a typo?, thannks | 03:51 |
| phillw | emmetea: pleia2 is the nearest mod I could find on the list. She will will in touch in a couple of days. If you have no reply do feel free to ping me. | 03:52 |
| emmetea | sounds good, thanks again :) | 03:53 |
| phillw | emmetea: and thank you for taking the time to point out an error. Typo's do happen. I hope that with you having found one you may join the docs / wiki teams... We always need people :) | 03:57 |
| emmetea | yup, had registered, thats how i had noticed i couldn't edit it | 04:04 |
| phillw | emmetea: most odd, I could edit it... and I'm only a mere mortal like you. hopefully pleia2 can give you a hint as to why you could not. | 04:15 |
| phillw | She's a 'boss' :) | 04:15 |
| phillw | emmetea: as 14.04 has just escaped into the wild as an lts... there are quite a few tired people, please be patient as they actually have some sleep before 14.10 preperations land on us all :) | 04:20 |
| belkinsa | phillw, I would suggest to users that they log in but once they are redirected to the main page, go back to that page and do a hard refresh. That should help them. | 11:59 |
