| EmsY | hey guys! | 08:14 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 08:16 |
| EmsY | morning | 08:17 |
| EmsY | I can't open my terminal in ubuntu 14.04 | 08:17 |
| EmsY | can someone help? | 08:18 |
| brobostigon | define? gnome-terminal ? | 08:19 |
| EmsY | yes, exactly | 08:19 |
| brobostigon | is it installed to start with | 08:20 |
| EmsY | ye lol. It was ok but then one day it just stopped workin | 08:20 |
| EmsY | When I press ctrl + alt + F1 and type in my login/pw it says " Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04" and then it asks my login and pw again | 08:21 |
| brobostigon | ok, that doesnt sound related to gnome-terminal, but something else. | 08:21 |
| EmsY | ye, I think it's bash | 08:22 |
| brobostigon | have you done a search on launchpad for bugs related. | 08:22 |
| EmsY | there are similar. Maybe one or two threads but they didn't help me | 08:23 |
| EmsY | oh, the only way how can I open a console is a Alt + F2 and type in env SHELL=/bin/sh gnome-termina | 08:25 |
| brobostigon | maybe file a new bug then, if its brand new? | 08:27 |
| EmsY | maybe. | 08:28 |
| EmsY | I posted a thread in askubuntu.com | 08:28 |
| EmsY | I hope someone will help. | 08:28 |
| brobostigon | i dont use that site personally, but i know some do. | 08:30 |
| EmsY | what site do you use? | 08:31 |
| brobostigon | for which purpose? | 08:31 |
| EmsY | for solving problems | 08:34 |
| EmsY | if you have | 08:34 |
| brobostigon | bugs.debian.org launchpad.net , and then ones related to quite a few different sw packages, including openvpn and many more. | 08:36 |
| EmsY | which ubuntu do you have? | 08:36 |
| brobostigon | i have installs of, the last two lts versions, debian testing and sid/unstable, and various other OS's like haiku-os and raspbian and a few others. | 08:39 |

| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 14:23 |
| MartijnVdS | \o | 14:26 |
| dwatkins | afternoon o/ | 14:28 |
| dwatkins | or Guten Tag, as they say here in Munich | 14:31 |
| MartijnVdS | or München, as they say there in München ;) | 14:31 |
| dwatkins | indeed, MartijnVdS | 14:39 |
| dwatkins | or "ganz genau".... ;) | 14:39 |
| dwatkins | I saw someone yesterday I hadn't seen for 22 years, he and I had a good chat which included mention of elementary OS, so I have some research to do as to what it's like. | 14:40 |
| bashrc | elementary OS seems to be the new shiny | 16:14 |
| Azelphur | anyone care to help me with bumblebee? after updating to 14.04 it no longer works, Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0 | 17:05 |
| * penguin42 grumbles; newsblur's android app needs a version of Android too new for my ancient phone | 17:49 | |
| penguin42 | I guess I could try the new CyanogenMod builds - my current CyanogenMod is ancient but they never officially did a cyanogenmod 10 for this | 17:49 |
| Krenair | My laptop is broken. I was trying to update it to 14.04, but it got stuck trying to load stuff (I can see the startup log, for some reason). | 22:05 |
| Krenair | I could get to recovery mode and mount the FS and stuff there, but fsck would get stuck when run from the menu (which stops me from using the dpkg repair tool). | 22:05 |
| Krenair | Then someone suggested that I run update-initramfs from a root shell and now it's even more broken: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10971457/IMG_20140503_225345.jpg | 22:05 |
| Krenair | uh, that's https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10971457/IMG_20140503_230808.jpg | 22:10 |
| daftykins | Krenair: fsck from a live session CD/DVD/USB may be more fruitful to start | 22:20 |
| Krenair | daftykins, 506799/17367040 files (0.6% non-contiguous), 6659711/69463296 blocks | 22:32 |
| daftykins | was that purely "fsck /dev/sdx" or did you use any switches? | 22:33 |
| Krenair | sudo fsck -f /dev/sda5 | 22:33 |
| daftykins | is it a multi-boot system, for sda5 to be root? | 22:34 |
| Krenair | yes | 22:34 |
| daftykins | hrmm, do you have a separate /home? | 22:35 |
| === popey_ is now known as popey | ||
| Krenair | daftykins, no | 22:36 |
| daftykins | a decent backup disk? :) | 22:36 |
| Krenair | also I've been unable to mount my private home folder from this live cd | 22:37 |
| Krenair | So while I don't think I have anything important there, I can't actually check. | 22:37 |
| daftykins | oh, encrypted? | 22:37 |
| Krenair | yeah | 22:37 |
| daftykins | ah i have no experience with that :( | 22:38 |
| Krenair | ecryptfs-mount-private says "ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly" | 22:38 |
| daftykins | that one's beyond me unfortunately | 22:39 |
| daftykins | the pic of your screen almost suggests UUIDs changed, i wonder if you could mount and chroot your install then re-run grub-install | 22:40 |
| directhex | ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | 22:40 |
| directhex | from the initramfs prompt | 22:40 |
| directhex | will answer the "did uuids change?" question | 22:41 |
| directhex | you can also force matters from grub - hit e to edit an entry, change the rot= param to /dev/sda5 instead of a uuid, press f10 to boot | 22:41 |
| Krenair | directhex, no such file or directory | 22:53 |
| daftykins | is that in a live session? | 22:57 |
| Krenair | that's from the initramfs prompt | 22:57 |
| Krenair | it was fine from the live cd | 22:58 |
| Krenair | any ideas daftykins/directhex? | 23:16 |
| daftykins | did you try editing grub for a one time boot as he suggested? | 23:18 |
| daftykins | switching the root FS UUID for sda5 | 23:18 |
| Krenair | daftykins, I also checked ls -l /dev/sda5 | 23:20 |
| Krenair | which showed nothing | 23:20 |
| daftykins | Krenair: what were you trying to do with that command? | 23:21 |
| Krenair | check to see if it would be able to find the drive itself directly | 23:22 |
| daftykins | hrmm not sure that's too fruitful | 23:22 |
| daftykins | 'sudo fdisk -l' should show those partitions still exist | 23:22 |
| * penguin42 pokes p42phone | 23:30 | |
| p42phone | Oww | 23:30 |
| daftykins | hehe | 23:31 |
| daftykins | penguin42: how was your day sir? | 23:31 |
| penguin42 | not too bad, but I seem to have spent too long fighting android on my phone | 23:32 |
| penguin42 | and you? | 23:32 |
| daftykins | d'aww | 23:32 |
| daftykins | yeah :) went to a friends who's just bought a house and moving in | 23:32 |
| daftykins | so sorta began to look at helping get the phone socket setup fathomed for making their broadband service decent | 23:33 |
| penguin42 | ah, muscles needed | 23:33 |
| daftykins | XD i'm quite wrong for the job there but i did help move some wardrobes and dismantle a bed back at his parents to take over \o/ | 23:33 |
| daftykins | and even got a free feed | 23:33 |
| Krenair | daftykins, hm, yeah it does show that | 23:34 |
| Krenair | guess I'll try this grub idea | 23:34 |
| Krenair | daftykins, can I put comments in this file? | 23:47 |
| daftykins | editing a one time GRUB boot? nah | 23:48 |
| Krenair | guess I should record this UUID then | 23:48 |
| daftykins | you just wanna test for now, it won't permanently commit changes | 23:48 |
| daftykins | you just edit for one boot | 23:48 |
| Krenair | oh right | 23:48 |
| Krenair | daftykins, same error, this time for /dev/sda5 | 23:50 |
| daftykins | which is that? | 23:50 |
| Krenair | instead of the /dev/disk/by-uuid/... | 23:50 |
| Krenair | https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10971457/IMG_20140503_230808.jpg | 23:50 |
| daftykins | what does it actually say? "...does not..." ? | 23:51 |
| Krenair | does not exist | 23:51 |
| daftykins | that is very odd indeed | 23:51 |
| daftykins | were you able to mount /dev/sda5 in a live session? | 23:52 |
| Krenair | yes | 23:52 |
| daftykins | contents looked ok? | 23:53 |
| Krenair | there wasn't much to see | 23:54 |
| Krenair | but it looked ok | 23:54 |
| Krenair | I couldn't mount my private directory but meh | 23:54 |
| daftykins | Krenair: if you want any data from it i think you should focus on that and then just clean install | 23:57 |
| daftykins | failing finding someone more experienced that is :) | 23:57 |
| daftykins | oh wait, hrmm | 23:58 |
| daftykins | boot the live session, mount sda5 then chroot it and try to finish off your upgrade | 23:58 |
| Krenair | 'chroot it'? | 23:59 |
| daftykins | !chroot | 23:59 |
| lubotu3 | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 23:59 |
| Krenair | um | 23:59 |
