[00:32] <anya> hello
[00:32] <EriC^^> hi
[00:38] <daftykins> \o
[00:39] <daftykins> aww man EriC^^ why'd you do that? ;)
[00:39] <EriC^^> lol
[00:39] <EriC^^> it wasn't me :D
[00:39] <daftykins> :>
[01:28] <EriC^^> Bashing-om: still there?
[01:29] <daftykins> anya: wb
[01:30] <daftykins> XD
[01:30] <EriC^^> lol
[01:31] <EriC^^> this guy texla has an odd os-prober thingamabob going on
[01:31] <EriC^^> oh wow thingamabob wasn't spelling corrected here
[01:32] <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"
[01:33] <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"
[01:34] <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 ?
[01:35] <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
[01:36] <OerHeks> he never rebooted these 2 hrs ..
[01:39] <Bashing-om> OerHeks: EriC^^ True, and we want to back out of /mnt/looksee prior to seeing what results from a re-boot .
[01:40] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: I have not read all the config file . but redundancy ( round robin from os-prober )  within the file driving grub nuts ?
[01:42] <EriC^^> Bashing-om: yes, the os-prober part isn't right at all
[01:43] <EriC^^> the kernel line just has "linux" and on the lines below it has menuentry 'root=uuid=434242 ^quietsplash^$vt_handoff' { stuff here
[01:45] <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 .
[01:49] <EriC^^> yeah it's a good idea to remove grub altogether from the secondary ones
[01:50] <EriC^^> maybe set -x will show more info
[01:51] <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
[01:52] <daftykins> platform = xxen ? so this is a Xen VM?
[01:53] <EriC^^> mmm no idea
[01:53] <EriC^^> Bashing-om: yeah sure if 2 hdd's why not keep grub!
[01:57] <EriC^^> so many ubuntu kernels there
[01:59] <daftykins> :D
[02:00] <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
[02:02] <daftykins> guys i have to share a mildly digusting tale with you
[02:03] <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/
[02:04] <daftykins> that is all ^_^
[02:07] <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 ?
[02:08] <EriC^^> daftykins: lol
[02:09] <EriC^^> Bashing-om: nope
[02:09] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: Agred sure looked odd to my mind .
[02:10] <EriC^^> maybe "stat /mnt/looksee/boot/vmlinuz*" will show some clues
[02:13] <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
[02:15] <EriC^^> new cfg http://termbin.com/p9og
[02:15] <EriC^^> we decided to cheat and just use 40_custom :D
[02:19] <Bashing-om> reading .
[02:22] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: Is cleaner, give it a whirl and see what flys .
[02:23] <EriC^^> i dont think i'll last, pretty sleepy at this point
[02:31] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: That happens ! .. get some shut eye . I am about 4 hrs to that condition .
[05:29] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
