| OerHeks | sleepy after diner, an how are you ? | 18:18 |
| lotuspsychje | fine here tnx, car is broken | 18:18 |
| lotuspsychje | doesnt wanna start anymore | 18:19 |
| lotuspsychje | and we just replaced battery | 18:19 |
| OerHeks | heh, did someone put a potato in the exhaust? | 18:19 |
| lotuspsychje | lol no :p | 18:19 |
| OerHeks | did you put petrol .. | 18:19 |
| lotuspsychje | yes | 18:19 |
| lotuspsychje | so i went to ##cars yesterday, but there a bunch off 4ssh*les | 18:20 |
| OerHeks | open the hood, sometimes they steal your engine .. | 18:20 |
| lotuspsychje | not a very helpfull channel | 18:20 |
| OerHeks | I have no clue about cars, i have no driving-license | 18:20 |
| lotuspsychje | me neither, but my gf does | 18:20 |
| lotuspsychje | she drives me around | 18:21 |
| OerHeks | i can see you smile from here :-D | 18:21 |
| lotuspsychje | :p | 18:21 |
| * lotuspsychje has a sticker on his webcam, nobody can see a smile remote | 18:21 | |
| daftykins | lmao | 18:29 |
| daftykins | hey guys | 18:29 |
| lotuspsychje | daftykins: hey mate | 18:30 |
| * daftykins continues playing with this new Lenovo X1 Carbon | 18:30 | |
| daftykins | i can't claim to know much about cars at all, but what does it do? starter motor spin and nowhere further? | 18:31 |
| lotuspsychje | daftykins: we turn ignition on, and motor doesnt start | 18:31 |
| lotuspsychje | daftykins: makes a weird low beep sound +click | 18:31 |
| lotuspsychje | daftykins: battery has been replaced, and still doesnt wanna start | 18:33 |
| daftykins | when you say motor, that's the engine as a whole or the starter? | 18:33 |
| lotuspsychje | daftykins: starter doesnt start indeed | 18:33 |
| lotuspsychje | daftykins: at first, if we leave it few hours to rest, it started again | 18:34 |
| daftykins | ah i see, almost sounds like it's immobilised | 18:34 |
| lotuspsychje | daftykins: but then day after it doesnt again | 18:34 |
| daftykins | how new is it, make + model etc? | 18:34 |
| lotuspsychje | nissan almera 1400cc '97 | 18:34 |
| daftykins | mmm so not terribly new enough that it's got all these mod cons that stop things working | 18:35 |
| lotuspsychje | oh well we gonna have to call the garage | 18:36 |
| lotuspsychje | and pay a lotta $$$$$ | 18:36 |
| daftykins | my mate that's into cars might be on later, i could point him your way potentially first? | 18:36 |
| lotuspsychje | daftykins: sure mate | 18:36 |
| daftykins | he's more a fanatic than an actual mechanic, but he may have trawled some forums enough to have a guess | 18:36 |
| lotuspsychje | would be lovely | 18:36 |
| daftykins | ok will do :) | 18:37 |
| histo | fml wife lost her brand new phone | 20:54 |
| histo | while we were traveling. It's now 5 hours away from m.e | 20:55 |
| lordievader | Life happens... | 20:55 |
| histo | pulled some favors and got it located | 20:55 |
| histo | road trip time fun fun fun | 20:55 |
| lordievader | ;) | 20:56 |
| histo | She owes me so big for this one. Day off wasted driving across the country | 20:57 |
| lordievader | She couldn't go herself? | 20:58 |
| MonkeyDust | sudo go-get-my-phone --or-else | 21:00 |
| OerHeks | does it have 5 hr batery life left? | 21:01 |
| daftykins | histo: X| | 21:02 |
| daftykins | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11727232/ - guys any idea what's going on in here line 27? | 21:03 |
| daftykins | 26 sorry | 21:03 |
| daftykins | guy doesn't use his RAID for boot but something is making this older kernel removal snag | 21:03 |
| lordievader | daftykins: Run the script I'd say, or lookup what the error code means. | 21:04 |
| lordievader | Likely has to do with line 25. | 21:04 |
| lordievader | Which leads me to believe grub is not fully installed. | 21:04 |
| daftykins | lordievader: i was having the guy comment out the functions in /etc/default/grub XD that's probably pretty dumb, right? :) | 21:05 |
| daftykins | as in what was at line 48 within: /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 48: /etc/default/grub: function: not found | 21:05 |
| daftykins | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11727250/ - present 'grub' packages | 21:07 |
| lordievader | Hmm, that looks okay. What was the original problem? | 21:07 |
| daftykins | user ran a dist-upgrade, system is now crying about this kernel removal | 21:08 |
| OerHeks | the answer is google for line 18 W: mdadm: is currently active, but it is not listed in mdadm.conf. if | 21:08 |
| OerHeks | that brings you to a borked upgrade indeed | 21:08 |
| daftykins | apparently the user's RAID isn't part of boot | 21:08 |
| OerHeks | solution, is at the bottom http://serverfault.com/questions/363543/apt-get-update-mdadm-scary-warnings | 21:08 |
| lordievader | PaulW2U: That depends, if the raid config is needed for boot, then yes. Else it doesn't matter. | 21:08 |
| lordievader | Err that was for OerHeks, sorry PaulW2U. | 21:09 |
| OerHeks | it is, as the error says further on? | 21:09 |
| PaulW2U | lordievader: You woke me up :) | 21:09 |
| daftykins | lol | 21:09 |
| lordievader | daftykins: Did you mess with things, or is the paste as it was originally. | 21:09 |
| lordievader | PaulW2U: Good then you can be active :P | 21:10 |
| daftykins | lordievader: i had the user comment out two functions in /etc/default/grub which saw the line it references for the problem jump to the next function each time | 21:10 |
| daftykins | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11727069/ this was the very first i was provided with | 21:10 |
| daftykins | i had a backup of /etc/default/grub be made so can revert my faffing easily | 21:10 |
| lordievader | There are no functions in /etc/default/grub, only variables. | 21:10 |
| daftykins | in this case i refer to http://paste.ubuntu.com/11727153/ function savedefault (line 38) recordfail and loadvideo | 21:11 |
| daftykins | that's what the grub-mkconfig seems to trip up on | 21:11 |
| lordievader | daftykins: What happens when he manually executes that script? | 21:12 |
| daftykins | /usr/sbin/mkconfig ? | 21:13 |
| lordievader | /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub | 21:13 |
| daftykins | ah ok | 21:13 |
| daftykins | shall request it | 21:14 |
| lordievader | Is this in #ubuntu? | 21:14 |
| daftykins | i'm not sure if blz has tried asking in there as well, as i'm not in there right now - but nah i'm helping someone in #kodi-linux | 21:14 |
| lordievader | Hmm, I see. | 21:15 |
| daftykins | i did see it as an OS issue and not kodi, but felt like being a samaritan regardless ;) | 21:16 |
| lordievader | Oh it is a grub issue, can happen anywhere. | 21:17 |
| lordievader | I though 127 was that it couldn't find something, but I am not entirely sure. | 21:17 |
| daftykins | hrmm ok said script causes the above line which complains about those functions within /etc/default/grub | 21:18 |
| daftykins | there's only one left that i've not had the guy comment out yet, i'm tempted to try that to see what it does | 21:18 |
| lordievader | daftykins: Could you pastebin his /etc/default/grub file? | 21:19 |
| daftykins | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11727153/ | 21:20 |
| daftykins | it's this one | 21:20 |
| daftykins | so the three functions from line 38 seem to be what are being complained about | 21:20 |
| daftykins | i've had him comment out the first two | 21:20 |
| lordievader | That is /boot/grub/grub.cfg not /etc/default/grub... | 21:21 |
| daftykins | hrmm i explicitly stated the latter, wonder if he misread | 21:22 |
| lordievader | The /etc/default/grub file looks like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11727313/ | 21:22 |
| daftykins | i did glance at my own and thought... why so different 0o | 21:23 |
| lordievader | Well if that is his /e/d/grub it would explain a thing or two ;) | 21:24 |
| daftykins | yep user confirms that's it o0 | 21:25 |
| lordievader | Hehe, well there you go ;) | 21:25 |
| daftykins | what's responsible for creating it so broken o0 | 21:25 |
| daftykins | well it doesn't even get auto gen'd does it | 21:26 |
| lordievader | Nope. | 21:26 |
| daftykins | i wonder how he could possibly have had it substituted for something so off | 21:27 |
| daftykins | thanks for the sanity check :D i'll keep fiddling and see if i get anywhere with him | 21:27 |
| lordievader | Ah, sudo cp /usr/share/grub/default/grub /etc/default/grub | 21:28 |
| daftykins | then do a sudo update-grub ? | 21:28 |
| lordievader | Jup. | 21:29 |
| daftykins | ty :> | 21:29 |
| lordievader | Are we out of the woods? | 21:29 |
| daftykins | just awaiting the result | 21:30 |
| daftykins | lordievader: yep perfect :) | 21:36 |
| daftykins | thanks very much! | 21:36 |
| lordievader | Nice, no problem ;) | 21:40 |
| histo | OerHeks: it's an iphone 6, I'm assuming the battery is completely dead. | 21:43 |
| histo | Hopefully the staff at where it's located is willing to ship it. It would be cheaper to over night air the damn thing than for me to drive there. | 21:43 |
| histo | Ugghh can't get vim to syntax highlight | 21:56 |
| daftykins | i think hotels have often gone to quite some lengths when a client has inevitably left things behind :D | 21:57 |
| histo | daftykins: unfortunately it's at a rest stop. I'm hoping the gas station will do the same | 23:42 |
| daftykins | ah i see | 23:42 |
