| anya | hello | 00:32 |
|---|---|---|
| EriC^^ | hi | 00:32 |
| daftykins | \o | 00:38 |
| daftykins | aww man EriC^^ why'd you do that? ;) | 00:39 |
| EriC^^ | lol | 00:39 |
| EriC^^ | it wasn't me :D | 00:39 |
| daftykins | :> | 00:39 |
| EriC^^ | Bashing-om: still there? | 01:28 |
| daftykins | anya: wb | 01:29 |
| daftykins | XD | 01:30 |
| EriC^^ | lol | 01:30 |
| EriC^^ | this guy texla has an odd os-prober thingamabob going on | 01:31 |
| EriC^^ | oh wow thingamabob wasn't spelling corrected here | 01:31 |
| daftykins | :D | 01:32 |
| daftykins | doo-hickey! | 01:32 |
| EriC^^ | he has linux lite installed and ubuntu's grub isn't launching it, grub.cfg has an empty line for the kernel line, just "linux" | 01:32 |
| daftykins | possible there's mixed-mode booting going on? | 01:33 |
| EriC^^ | and the rest below it is a mess, like menuentry 'root=uuid=42342342' and menuentry 'Description' and it's like one thing went wrong with it and it made the rest not right | 01:33 |
| daftykins | sounds like it needs the treatment from "Aliens" | 01:33 |
| EriC^^ | i think there's something messing up the os-prober script, like maybe some character it doesn't expect in a filename or something like that and it's going bazerk, just a guess | 01:34 |
| daftykins | that'd fit! | 01:34 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Yeah , I be here and watchong - caught a smoke - ,, How bout we try and boot linux-lite from grub , purge grub and reinstall ? | 01:34 |
| EriC^^ | that's interesting, he had a dpkg lock, i asked for ps aux | grep dpkg he gave this http://pastebin.com/jgAFA96B | 01:35 |
| EriC^^ | the grub-pc.postinst script is still running, maybe it's somehow related? long shot.. | 01:35 |
| EriC^^ | Bashing-om: it's the ubuntu grub that's messed up though | 01:35 |
| OerHeks | he never rebooted these 2 hrs .. | 01:36 |
| Bashing-om | OerHeks: EriC^^ True, and we want to back out of /mnt/looksee prior to seeing what results from a re-boot . | 01:39 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: I have not read all the config file . but redundancy ( round robin from os-prober ) within the file driving grub nuts ? | 01:40 |
| EriC^^ | Bashing-om: yes, the os-prober part isn't right at all | 01:42 |
| EriC^^ | the kernel line just has "linux" and on the lines below it has menuentry 'root=uuid=434242 ^quietsplash^$vt_handoff' { stuff here | 01:43 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: In multi-boot systems I came to the conclusion there is but one boot athority . In all others but the primary I disable os-proper, and then run ' sudo update-grub ' to not see those seconday systems . In the primary pick up on booting the secondaries . | 01:45 |
| EriC^^ | yeah it's a good idea to remove grub altogether from the secondary ones | 01:49 |
| EriC^^ | maybe set -x will show more info | 01:50 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Well, not so much remove. still leave the ability to boot up if the primary fails . Also disabling os-prober in the secondaries eliminates kernel updates pre-empting the boot code . | 01:51 |
| EriC^^ | this is the broken config btw http://termbin.com/gle0 | 01:51 |
| daftykins | platform = xxen ? so this is a Xen VM? | 01:52 |
| EriC^^ | mmm no idea | 01:53 |
| EriC^^ | Bashing-om: yeah sure if 2 hdd's why not keep grub! | 01:53 |
| EriC^^ | so many ubuntu kernels there | 01:57 |
| daftykins | :D | 01:59 |
| daftykins | i'd be very interested if it's really a VM | 02:00 |
| daftykins | if it is, i'd launch that user into space | 02:00 |
| EriC^^ | lol | 02:00 |
| OerHeks | snappy | 02:00 |
| daftykins | guys i have to share a mildly digusting tale with you | 02:02 |
| daftykins | i just put my in-ear headphones in to try some music out... but i noticed i was getting off-balance audio, so hmm i thought - confirm on another device, yep still the same | 02:03 |
| daftykins | then i popped the earpiece off the left (quieter) ear and found a piece of wax blocking the tube from the drivers :P | 02:03 |
| daftykins | yay fixed \o/ | 02:03 |
| daftykins | that is all ^_^ | 02:04 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: We get the system stable on sda6, I am all for getting rid of all those old kernels . So much to sort through as is . // Is it normal for os-prober in the config file to have so many entries for a single installed kernel ? | 02:07 |
| EriC^^ | daftykins: lol | 02:08 |
| EriC^^ | Bashing-om: nope | 02:09 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Agred sure looked odd to my mind . | 02:09 |
| EriC^^ | maybe "stat /mnt/looksee/boot/vmlinuz*" will show some clues | 02:10 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Can not hurt to know what is set for booting . | 02:13 |
| EriC^^ | it might show any weird chars in the filename | 02:13 |
| EriC^^ | new cfg http://termbin.com/p9og | 02:15 |
| EriC^^ | we decided to cheat and just use 40_custom :D | 02:15 |
| Bashing-om | reading . | 02:19 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Is cleaner, give it a whirl and see what flys . | 02:22 |
| EriC^^ | i dont think i'll last, pretty sleepy at this point | 02:23 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: That happens ! .. get some shut eye . I am about 4 hrs to that condition . | 02:31 |
