[18:17] <OerHeks> hi lotus
[18:17] <lotuspsychje> OerHeks: hello mate, how are you?
[18:18] <OerHeks> sleepy after diner, an how are you ?
[18:18] <lotuspsychje> fine here tnx, car is broken
[18:19] <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
[18:20] <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
[18:21] <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
[18:29] <daftykins> lmao
[18:29] <daftykins> hey guys
[18:30] <lotuspsychje> daftykins: hey mate
[18:30]  * daftykins continues playing with this new Lenovo X1 Carbon
[18:31] <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
[18:33] <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
[18:34] <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
[18:35] <daftykins> mmm so not terribly new enough that it's got all these mod cons that stop things working
[18:36] <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
[18:37] <daftykins> ok will do :)
[20:54] <histo> fml wife lost her brand new phone
[20:55] <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
[20:56] <lordievader> ;)
[20:57] <histo> She owes me so big for this one. Day off wasted driving across the country
[20:58] <lordievader> She couldn't go herself?
[21:00] <MonkeyDust> sudo go-get-my-phone --or-else
[21:01] <OerHeks> does it have 5 hr batery life left?
[21:02] <daftykins> histo: X|
[21:03] <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
[21:04] <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.
[21:05] <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
[21:07] <daftykins> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11727250/ - present 'grub' packages
[21:07] <lordievader> Hmm, that looks okay. What was the original problem?
[21:08] <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.
[21:09] <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.
[21:10] <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.
[21:11] <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
[21:12] <lordievader> daftykins: What happens when he manually executes that script?
[21:13] <daftykins> /usr/sbin/mkconfig ?
[21:13] <lordievader>  /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub
[21:13] <daftykins> ah ok
[21:14] <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
[21:15] <lordievader> Hmm, I see.
[21:16] <daftykins> i did see it as an OS issue and not kodi, but felt like being a samaritan regardless ;)
[21:17] <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.
[21:18] <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
[21:19] <lordievader> daftykins: Could you pastebin his /etc/default/grub file?
[21:20] <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
[21:21] <lordievader> That is /boot/grub/grub.cfg not /etc/default/grub...
[21:22] <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/
[21:23] <daftykins> i did glance at my own and thought... why so different 0o
[21:24] <lordievader> Well if that is his /e/d/grub it would explain a thing or two ;)
[21:25] <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
[21:26] <daftykins> well it doesn't even get auto gen'd does it
[21:26] <lordievader> Nope.
[21:27] <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
[21:28] <lordievader> Ah, sudo cp /usr/share/grub/default/grub /etc/default/grub
[21:28] <daftykins> then do a sudo update-grub ?
[21:29] <lordievader> Jup.
[21:29] <daftykins> ty :>
[21:29] <lordievader> Are we out of the woods?
[21:30] <daftykins> just awaiting the result
[21:36] <daftykins> lordievader: yep perfect :)
[21:36] <daftykins> thanks very much!
[21:40] <lordievader> Nice, no problem ;)
[21:43] <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.
[21:56] <histo> Ugghh  can't get vim to syntax highlight
[21:57] <daftykins> i think hotels have often gone to quite some lengths when a client has inevitably left things behind :D
[23:42] <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
