lordievaderrharish: What is the problem with Grub?13:24
rharishnot that13:24
rharishlordievader: I guess it's broken. get the grub rescue13:24
rharishcan't boot into anything13:24

=== steel_afk is now known as steel
rharishyes, so agonizing :(13:25
rharishany clues ?13:26
lordievaderChrooting from a live-cd/usb and running "update-grub2".13:27
rharishI used update-grub13:28
rharishit generated a grub.cfg13:28
lordievaderrharish: Did it find kernels?13:28
rharishidk that13:28
rharishhow do u check ?13:28
lordievaderrharish: Run it again and check ;)13:28
rharishlordievader:  checking it13:30
rharishlordievader: there's a /boot/grub/grub.cfg file already present13:34
rharishshould I go ahead with update-grub2 ??13:34
lordievaderrharish: Yes, that file is then updated.13:36
rharishlordievader: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7510112/13:36
rharishthat's what I get13:36
lordievaderShould be fine. Although the EFI might cause problems. Perhaps that is your issue?13:37
rharishexactly13:38
rharishhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7510117/13:38
rharishhow to get arround that ?13:38
lordievaderWhish I could tell you that. I have no experience with (U)EFI.13:39
rharishoh no :(13:39
rharishthanks anyways13:40
rharishdoes anyone else have any clue on that ^^ ?13:42

Walexrharish: GRUB2 is diabolical.14:12
rharishuhm, update-grub ?14:13
Walexrharish: yes, but you need to boot into your root partition to do that right.14:13
Walexrharish: that page and other just tell you how to do that.14:14
rharishcan you help me with it ?14:14
Walexrharish: yesm but what problem specifically happens to you?14:14
rharishso far, I've chrooted and ran update-grub14:15
Walexrharish: because your paste shows no errors.14:15
Walexrharish: the 'uopdate-grub2' workjed fine.14:15
rharishyes, now when I run grub-install (for reinstalling) I get the error saying that grub can't find efi directory14:16
Walexrharish: I don't understand what you are trying to do.14:16
rharishi'm trying to follow the steps listed here : http://askubuntu.com/questions/449680/upgrading-from-13-10-to-14-04-broke-grub14:17
rharishwe are trying to reinstall the grub right ?14:18
rharishWalex: step 914:19
=== sign is now known as systemd
Walexrharish: sorry I can't follow. I can't understand what your current situation is and what you are trying to achieve. Any of those steps makes sense in a specific case.14:20
rharishWalex: okay. Let me start over. I tried upgrading from kubuntu 13.10 to 14.04. The packages were downloaded and installed successfully and I was prompted to reboot. On rebooting, I get the grub-rescue screen. I can't boot into any of my OS(kubuntu or Windows). I then tried boot-repair but even that didn't fix the issue so I was referring to that link which14:26
rharishsuggests booting into a live cd and chrooting to reinstall the grub. That's what I've been trying to do. I was able to mount my drives and was even able to run update-grub which generated a grub.cfg file in /boot/grub. Now I must reinstall according to the answer in the link(the one with 25 votes), for which I use "grub-install" which gives the following14:26
rharisherror http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7510117/. how do I go about this( grub-install) ?14:26
rharishThat's the issue now14:27
rharishWalex: hope you can help me14:27
rharishafk14:29
Walexcheck whether 'ls /sys/firmware/efi/vars/' lists something14:31
Walexcheck whether 'modprobe efivars' succeeds14:31
Walexyou have an EFI boot problem not a GRUB problem (yet).14:31
Walexyou must mount the EFI partition as '/boot/efi'14:35

BluesKajor buy a copy of windows16:22
sanjeb@BlueKaj knew that but still I had to try :P16:22

rharishsorry had to go out, was urgent.16:35
lolmausHi! I'm on Kubuntu 14.04, trying to get an app hook into my console. The app has added its lines to `.bash_profile`. The problem is that i don't have access to the app until i do `source ~/.bash_profile` every time i open Konsole. I've tried moving the lines to `~/.profile`, still no luck.17:25
lordievaderlolmaus: You are trying to run an console application when you open the Konsole?17:27
lolmauslordievader: yes. The console application makes itself available as `$ nvm` via the lines it had added to `~/.bash_profile`.17:28
lolmausBut until i do `source ~/.bash_profile`, `$ nvm` says "No command 'nvm' found".17:28
lolmausOn the other hand, when i tried to add the lines into `~/.bashrc`, it started working for newly opened Konsole windows. I complained to NVM dev, but he said that `.bashrc` is supposed to be executed for non-login shells and what i did was wrong.17:30
lordievaderHmm, adding tmux here to my .zshrc it opens tmux when opening Konsole.17:30
lordievaderNVM doesn't open a gui, does it?17:31
lolmauslordievader: nope, it's a console app.17:32

lordievader!info nvm17:40
ubottuPackage nvm does not exist in trusty17:40
lolmauslordievader: https://github.com/creationix/nvm17:41
lolmauslordievader: the question is not about NVM, but about which dotfiles are executed when Konsole is started.17:41
lordievaderDoes nvm provide a shell or something?17:42
lordievaderElse you can just tell konsole to start nvm instead of bash.17:42
lolmauslordievader: nvm's goal is to dynamically provide certain commands into the console (node and npm). It allows you to switch between different node/npm environments. Thus, nvm is useless without bash.17:49
lordievaderIs it a service?17:51

=== devenne_ is now known as devenne
lolmauslordievader: no. BTW, here's the line from `.bash_profile`:18:04
lolmaus[[ -s "/home/lolmaus/.nvm/nvm.sh" ]] && source "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm18:04
lordievaderCould you pastebin that script?18:08
=== ian_ is now known as IsaacTBeast
=== steel_afk is now known as steel
lolmauslordievader: which one? My `.bash_profile`? PS Please highlight me so that i don't miss your answers.18:32
lordievaderlolmaus: $HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh (I didn't highlight since this was the only active conversation)18:33
lolmauslordievader: https://github.com/creationix/nvm/blob/master/nvm.sh18:34
lordievaderlolmaus: Hmm, it might just fix your problem. Try putting a link to the script in ~/.kde/env. Then upon login the script should be ran.18:37
lolmauslordievader: are you sure? The script is supposed to be invoked with this: [[ -s "/home/lolmaus/.nvm/nvm.sh" ]] && source "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm18:39
lordievaderJup, the script sets env variables. Scripts in ~/.kde/env set env variables kde wide.18:41
* lordievader time to watch a movie18:43
lolmauslordievader: it didn't work. Maybe a reboot is required?18:49
lolmauslordievader: it didn't work after reboot :(18:58

brejochi @all! i've got a question regarding the re-installation of kubuntu on my latop. the ssd has, next to boot and swap, a btrfs partition that is the root volume with home as a subvolume. would it be possible to re-install kubuntu with the official installer and keep the home-subvolume?19:10
BluesKajbrejoc, subvolume=separate /home partition ?19:14
brejocBluesKaj: no it's on the same partition.19:15
=== tomte is now known as Guest80540
=== Guest80540 is now known as tomte
tomtehi19:20
BluesKajthen you need to backup your home dir data to some other media , the create a / and separate /home partition..then install kubuntu to the / partition and copy the backed up data to  the new /home partition. Next time you want to install a new release you just need to install to / and /home will remain unaffected.19:20
BluesKajbrejoc,^19:20
tomteI got an erlderly laptop with a 32gb ssd and tried to install ubuntu on it19:20
tomtebut it doesn't recognize the harddisk at all19:21
BluesKajtomte, how old ?19:21
tomte7 years maybe? acer 5104wlmi19:22
tomteit some sandisk ssd (winxp and win installed on the ssd without any issues)19:23
tomteany ideas where to start looking?19:25
BluesKajtomte, do you mean the kubuntu installer doesn't see the ssd ?19:25
brejocokay, i thought so. thanks, BluesKaj!19:25
tomteBluesKaj: yes, the installer can't see it. I can't find it in the live system as well (partition tool e.g.)19:26
BluesKajtomte, in the live media cd or usb open a terminal and type mount to see if the ssd is listed19:29
tomtedoesn't look like to me: http://nopaste.info/ff9f33003b.html19:30
BluesKajtomte, ok what does df -h give?19:36
tomteBluesKaj: did a couple more: http://nopaste.info/83c6dbd1ab.html19:39
BluesKajtomte, sudo blkid19:46
tomteBluesKaj: /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"19:47
tomte/dev/sr1: LABEL="Kubuntu 14.04 LTS amd64" TYPE="iso9660"19:47
BluesKajthat's the cdrom , /dev/sr119:48
tomteyep, there is no sight of a harddisk19:48
BluesKajtomte, suggest you ask the gurus at ##linux19:48
BluesKajI'd be interested to see what they suggest19:49
tomteok, I'll give it a try19:51
tomteand got the obvious - "don't use ubuntu"19:59
BluesKajtomte, there are few smartasses ther, just ignore those remarks20:00
tomteI guess20:03
BluesKajunfortunately the ppl who would know aren't around20:06
tomteI have to restart and see if there are some options in the BIOS I can change, try different boot parameters20:07
tomteI just wanted to take a shortcut and not use gentoo...20:08
