[00:32] hello [00:32] hi [00:38] \o [00:39] aww man EriC^^ why'd you do that? ;) [00:39] lol [00:39] it wasn't me :D [00:39] :> [01:28] Bashing-om: still there? [01:29] anya: wb [01:30] XD [01:30] lol [01:31] this guy texla has an odd os-prober thingamabob going on [01:31] oh wow thingamabob wasn't spelling corrected here [01:32] :D [01:32] doo-hickey! [01:32] 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] possible there's mixed-mode booting going on? [01:33] 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] sounds like it needs the treatment from "Aliens" [01:34] 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] that'd fit! [01:34] 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] that's interesting, he had a dpkg lock, i asked for ps aux | grep dpkg he gave this http://pastebin.com/jgAFA96B [01:35] the grub-pc.postinst script is still running, maybe it's somehow related? long shot.. [01:35] Bashing-om: it's the ubuntu grub that's messed up though [01:36] he never rebooted these 2 hrs .. [01:39] OerHeks: EriC^^ True, and we want to back out of /mnt/looksee prior to seeing what results from a re-boot . [01:40] EriC^^: I have not read all the config file . but redundancy ( round robin from os-prober ) within the file driving grub nuts ? [01:42] Bashing-om: yes, the os-prober part isn't right at all [01:43] the kernel line just has "linux" and on the lines below it has menuentry 'root=uuid=434242 ^quietsplash^$vt_handoff' { stuff here [01:45] 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] yeah it's a good idea to remove grub altogether from the secondary ones [01:50] maybe set -x will show more info [01:51] 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] this is the broken config btw http://termbin.com/gle0 [01:52] platform = xxen ? so this is a Xen VM? [01:53] mmm no idea [01:53] Bashing-om: yeah sure if 2 hdd's why not keep grub! [01:57] so many ubuntu kernels there [01:59] :D [02:00] i'd be very interested if it's really a VM [02:00] if it is, i'd launch that user into space [02:00] lol [02:00] snappy [02:02] guys i have to share a mildly digusting tale with you [02:03] 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] 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] yay fixed \o/ [02:04] that is all ^_^ [02:07] 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] daftykins: lol [02:09] Bashing-om: nope [02:09] EriC^^: Agred sure looked odd to my mind . [02:10] maybe "stat /mnt/looksee/boot/vmlinuz*" will show some clues [02:13] EriC^^: Can not hurt to know what is set for booting . [02:13] it might show any weird chars in the filename [02:15] new cfg http://termbin.com/p9og [02:15] we decided to cheat and just use 40_custom :D [02:19] reading . [02:22] EriC^^: Is cleaner, give it a whirl and see what flys . [02:23] i dont think i'll last, pretty sleepy at this point [02:31] EriC^^: That happens ! .. get some shut eye . I am about 4 hrs to that condition . === phunyguy is now known as phunyguys === phunyguys is now known as phunyguy [05:29] good morning to all [05:29] quick jump in before work [05:39] morning anya [05:41] lotuspsychje: Get your day started off with a bang !
