[09:53] <lordievader> Good morning.
[12:17] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[19:14] <popey> hello frecel
[19:15] <frecel> so I tried to install 16.04 on one of my machines
[19:15] <nicomachus> how'd it go?
[19:15] <frecel> and ubuiquity crashes when it tries to install grub
[19:15] <frecel> I send the automatic bug report but I figured I'd ask if you guys know anything abot that
[19:16] <jtaylor> you know how to recover from it?
[19:17] <jtaylor> happens to me all the time, often just retrying works
[19:17] <jtaylor> worst case reinstall grub from a working installation
[19:17] <frecel> I have not recovered yet, I figured I might try to install grub manually but then I would probably not have the cool purple background
[19:17] <jtaylor> if you install it from 16.04 it likely will
[19:18] <frecel> I tried installing it three times today no success
[19:18] <nicomachus> "cool"
[19:22] <frecel> I will try it again, if the grub thing will fail again I will try the manual route
[19:22] <jtaylor> with try again install only grub again or retry the full installation?
[19:22] <jtaylor> its unlikely the latter will work
[19:22] <frecel> I was hinda hoping someone would have some quick fix to make the installer work
[19:23] <jtaylor> grub is one of the last things done so the installer worked enough
[19:23] <jtaylor> you just need to reinstall the bootloader
[19:24] <jtaylor> either from a livecd or another distro on the system
[19:24] <jtaylor> e.g. you can chroot into the 16.04 installation from a livecd and call the grub-install again
[19:25] <genii> just make sure to bindmount /proc /dev/ and /sys to the chroot
[19:39] <retrojeff> ubuntu needs to trash ibus in 16.04
[19:40] <retrojeff> like purge remove get rid of ... etc
[19:40] <retrojeff> ibus was causing problems in wxWidget applications
[19:40] <retrojeff> such as filezilla and audacity
[19:40] <retrojeff> it was preventing the usage of backspace key triggering high cpu
[20:23] <frecel> should I be installing grub on the EFI partition
[20:23] <frecel> or is that better left alone?
[20:25] <frecel> jtaylor: ^
[21:00] <frecel> welp I'm super smart
[21:01] <frecel> I installed grub but forgot to actually configure it
