| popey | hello frecel | 19:14 |
| 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 | 19:15 |
| jtaylor | you know how to recover from it? | 19:16 |
| 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 | 19:17 |
| frecel | I tried installing it three times today no success | 19:18 |
| nicomachus | "cool" | 19:18 |
| 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 | 19:22 |
| jtaylor | grub is one of the last things done so the installer worked enough | 19:23 |
| jtaylor | you just need to reinstall the bootloader | 19:23 |
| 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 | 19:24 |
| genii | just make sure to bindmount /proc /dev/ and /sys to the chroot | 19:25 |
| retrojeff | ubuntu needs to trash ibus in 16.04 | 19:39 |
| 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 | 19:40 |
| frecel | should I be installing grub on the EFI partition | 20:23 |
| frecel | or is that better left alone? | 20:23 |
| frecel | jtaylor: ^ | 20:25 |
| frecel | welp I'm super smart | 21:00 |
| frecel | I installed grub but forgot to actually configure it | 21:01 |
