| UUSSEERR | sorry to bother you guys but I cannot change my backround. It seems to be dconf messing it up. This is my first install without mate being packaged into the distro. (I love mate!!!) | 00:34 |
|---|---|---|
| YankDownUnder | UUSSEERR, Have you tried installing the "dconf-editor" to see if that resolves the issue - and have you also tried any other means to change the wallpaper? | 00:41 |
| UUSSEERR | I have but I just deleted the xml and now I have blackscreen. I want to use appearance preferences :( | 00:48 |
| UUSSEERR | the dconf editor is what was keeping the default background | 00:50 |
| intel | hola | 01:36 |
| intel | alguien q me ayude con los drivers de una compute stick intel | 01:36 |
| UUSSEERR | google linux compute stick there is a write up | 01:38 |
| intel | ya busque instale lo q pude y nada funciona | 01:40 |

| harald | hello, speak german? | 16:44 |
| stratact | Yesterday I tried installing Ubuntu MATE but at the end I ran into issue with Grub failing to install. Even after selecting to the right device it still ended up always failing. Is there something I can do to solve this? | 17:34 |
| Akuli | sure | 17:34 |
| Akuli | what do you have now? is the installer running or did it install and fail? | 17:35 |
| stratact | I don't have the installer currently running | 17:35 |
| Akuli | so you have a system that is there but can't boot? | 17:35 |
| stratact | Yeah | 17:36 |
| Akuli | are you running from the usb stick now? | 17:36 |
| Akuli | i mean is the computer running :D | 17:36 |
| stratact | The computer isn't running at the moment. | 17:36 |
| Akuli | ok, boot from the usb stick so we'll try to fix this | 17:36 |
| stratact | Alright the computer I'm working on getting Ubuntu MATE on is upstair, so I will need to come back and forth a lot ;) | 17:38 |
| Akuli | is one of your two computers a laptop? walking back and forth would probably be annoying | 17:38 |
| Akuli | we can also get this done faster if we don't need to do that | 17:38 |
| stratact | No, both systems are desktops unfortunately. | 17:39 |
| Akuli | do you have a smartphone? | 17:39 |
| Akuli | hmm | 17:39 |
| stratact | I do | 17:39 |
| Akuli | i guess typing on a smartphone can't be slower than running up and down the stairs | 17:39 |
| Akuli | can you come here with your phone? | 17:40 |
| stratact | I can try | 17:40 |
| stratact | I came here via the web irc | 17:40 |
| Akuli | yeah if it doesn't work there are irc clients for smartphones too | 17:40 |
| Akuli | i don't actually have a smartphone so i know nothing about them | 17:40 |
| stratact | Alright, I got my phone in | 17:42 |
| stratact | Just so you know, I did wipe the drive that had Ubuntu MATE on, so I would have to reinstall it again | 17:43 |
| Akuli | oh :( | 17:43 |
| genericman | Will 1.18 not work with 16.04? | 17:43 |
| Akuli | genericman, mate 1.18? i have no idea | 17:43 |
| Akuli | im still on ubuntu 14.04 with mate 1.8 :) | 17:44 |
| stratact | Akuli, I'm going to attempt to install it again and let you know via the phone, when I run into the issue what should I do? | 17:45 |
| Akuli | leave it there as is, cancel the installation if it lets you | 17:45 |
| Akuli | i'll probably be here tomorrow about an hour earlier than this time | 17:45 |
| Akuli | are you sure the hard drive is ok? usually installing goes pretty smoothly if there are no problems with it | 17:46 |
| stratact | It's and SSD and yeah I'm sure it works just fine. | 17:48 |
| stratact | *an | 17:48 |
| Akuli | weird | 17:48 |
| Akuli | i think i had some problem with installing 16.04 too, but that was like a day after it was released | 17:49 |
| stratact | I don't understand why it failed to do the grub-install either | 17:50 |
| Akuli | if rest of it is ok we can just install grub with the terminal | 17:50 |
| Akuli | or even try some other boot loader | 17:50 |
| stratact | sure thing | 17:51 |
| stratact-phone | Testing | 17:52 |
| stratact-phone | Okay I'm attempting the install right now | 17:54 |
| Akuli | ok | 17:55 |
| Akuli | probably won't take too long with the ssd | 17:55 |
| Akuli | i still remember my first time with an ssd, a computer about 8 years old and ran reeally fast | 17:56 |
| Akuli | crazy fast | 17:56 |
| stratact-phone | Alright I got to the point where it failed to install grub and cancelled the installation. I guess I'm in the live environment atm? | 18:05 |
| Akuli | yeah nice | 18:05 |
| Akuli | open a terminal, ctrl+alt+t is an easy way | 18:06 |
| Akuli | from now on if i type "$ blabla" i mean "type blabla to terminal and press enter" | 18:06 |
| Akuli | $ lsblk | 18:06 |
| stratact-phone | So yeah the sdg device is the one I want to install grub on | 18:07 |
| Akuli | ok | 18:08 |
| Akuli | $ sudo grub-install /dev/sdg | 18:08 |
| Akuli | hmm | 18:10 |
| Akuli | does it work like that or do we need a chroot? | 18:10 |
| stratact-phone | grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of 'aufs' | 18:10 |
| Akuli | i think we need a chroot | 18:10 |
| Akuli | $ lsblk | netcat termbin.com 9999 | 18:10 |
| Akuli | it'll display you a link, i want the last 4 characters of it | 18:10 |
| stratact-phone | netcat: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known | 18:12 |
| Akuli | can you get an internet connection? | 18:12 |
| stratact-phone | Yeah I seem to have a connection. | 18:13 |
| Akuli | hmm try again | 18:13 |
| stratact-phone | Okay it worked this time | 18:14 |
| Akuli | whats the end of the link | 18:14 |
| Akuli | actuallyu | 18:14 |
| Akuli | you can come to irc using your computer too | 18:14 |
| Akuli | open hexchat from the menu | 18:15 |
| stratact-phone | http://termbin.com/xnom | 18:15 |
| Akuli | i think it joins here automatically | 18:15 |
| Akuli | $ ls /target | 18:15 |
| Akuli | i want to know what you have | 18:15 |
| Akuli | ok gr8 :D | 18:16 |
| stratact2 | Okay this one is from my ubuntu live environment | 18:16 |
| Akuli | $ ls /target | nc termbin.com 9999 | 18:16 |
| stratact2 | http://termbin.com/5zow | 18:17 |
| Akuli | your ssd is huge | 18:17 |
| Akuli | oh wait | 18:17 |
| stratact2 | should be 256GB? | 18:17 |
| Akuli | what are sda to sdf? | 18:17 |
| Akuli | yeah | 18:17 |
| stratact2 | those are 1TB ssds each | 18:17 |
| Akuli | ok :D | 18:17 |
| Akuli | $ sudo chroot /target | 18:17 |
| stratact2 | done | 18:18 |
| Akuli | $ grub-install /dev/sdg | 18:18 |
| stratact2 | Installing for i386-pc platform. | 18:18 |
| stratact2 | grub-install: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?). | 18:18 |
| Akuli | yeah we need to do some other stuff | 18:19 |
| Akuli | open another terminal, lets call this 2$ from now on | 18:19 |
| Akuli | lol | 18:19 |
| stratact2 | Sure, heheheh | 18:19 |
| Akuli | 2$ sudo mount --bind /dev /target/dev | 18:19 |
| stratact2 | done | 18:19 |
| Akuli | try the grub-install again | 18:19 |
| Akuli | in 1$ | 18:20 |
| Akuli | if someone is following this and happens to remember which devices need to be mounted let us know :) | 18:20 |
| stratact2 | paste incoming | 18:20 |
| Akuli | how long? | 18:20 |
| Akuli | use dpaste.com if >3 lines | 18:20 |
| stratact2 | 11 lines | 18:20 |
| Akuli | yeah | 18:20 |
| Akuli | dpaste or termbin, both work | 18:21 |
| Akuli | e.g. $ echo ' (paste your stuff here) ' | nc termbin.com 9999 | 18:21 |
| stratact2 | gotcha, thanks | 18:21 |
| stratact2 | actually can I type in a different command to get the paste for you? | 18:22 |
| Akuli | i would just use termbin.com | 18:23 |
| Akuli | eeh | 18:23 |
| Akuli | dpaste.com | 18:23 |
| stratact2 | $ grub-install /dev/sdg | netcat termbin.com 9999 ? | 18:23 |
| cyrus_ | is anyone there that would like to help me with my problem? | 18:23 |
| Akuli | stratact2, oh the internet might not work in chroot | 18:24 |
| Akuli | cyrus_, sure, whats the problem? | 18:24 |
| cyrus_ | I just tried to install Open suse leap 42.2 and it said probing edd | 18:24 |
| cyrus_ | the thing is it wouldn't say ok like the videos i whathed did | 18:24 |
| stratact2 | http://dpaste.com/3WP0PZT | 18:25 |
| cyrus_ | the curser would just blink | 18:25 |
| cyrus_ | I waited for what felt like an hour | 18:25 |
| Akuli | stratact2, i think we need to mount /proc too | 18:25 |
| cyrus_ | nothing | 18:25 |
| cyrus_ | any thoughts? | 18:25 |
| Akuli | cyrus_, nothing displays but the cursor? | 18:26 |
| cyrus_ | correct | 18:26 |
| cyrus_ | this happend with antergos a few weeks ago too | 18:27 |
| cyrus_ | I was hoping it was antergos' fault but it wasn't | 18:27 |
| Akuli | stratact2, lets mount /proc and try one more time | 18:27 |
| Akuli | 2$ sudo mount --bind /proc /target/proc | 18:27 |
| stratact2 | done | 18:28 |
| Akuli | try again now | 18:28 |
| Akuli | cyrus_, are you sure your hard drive is ok? | 18:28 |
| cyrus_ | ? | 18:28 |
| cyrus_ | umm | 18:28 |
| cyrus_ | well I had manjaro then installed ubuntu and ever sence I have been having this problem | 18:29 |
| stratact2 | http://dpaste.com/37H5Y34 | 18:29 |
| Akuli | stratact2, weird i think we're still missing something | 18:29 |
| cyrus_ | i didn't know about it ubtil like a month ago, and I've had ubuntu for what feels like three months | 18:30 |
| cyrus_ | until* | 18:30 |
| === pedro is now known as Guest63657 | ||
| Akuli | stratact2, 1$ update-grub | 18:30 |
| cyrus_ | Is there a command to see if my hard drive is ok? | 18:31 |
| stratact2 | http://dpaste.com/2Y45BYM | 18:31 |
| cyrus_ | or am I screwed | 18:31 |
| cyrus_ | Akuli? | 18:33 |
| Akuli | cyrus_, tbh i dont know, if nobody else knows here you can try asking in #ubuntu | 18:33 |
| cyrus_ | oh | 18:33 |
| Akuli | stratact2, there we go :D we're missing one more mount | 18:33 |
| cyrus_ | well I also have another problem | 18:33 |
| Akuli | stratact2, 2$ sudo mount --bind /sys /target/sys | 18:33 |
| Akuli | stratact2, 1$ grub-install /dev/sdg | 18:34 |
| Akuli | stratact2, 1$ update-grub | 18:34 |
| cyrus_ | It's the whole reason why I want to install open suse | 18:34 |
| Akuli | sorry stratact2 the first command should have /target/sys at the end | 18:34 |
| cyrus_ | I deleted my top panel accedentely | 18:34 |
| Akuli | cyrus_, tell us more :) | 18:34 |
| Akuli | oh | 18:34 |
| Akuli | did i help you with this yesterday? | 18:34 |
| Akuli | open a terminal with ctrl+alt+t, mate-panel --reset | 18:34 |
| cyrus_ | and now ubuntu is really hard to use | 18:34 |
| cyrus_ | no applecations drop down menu not even a clock | 18:35 |
| Akuli | cyrus_, did you try my terminal command? | 18:35 |
| stratact2 | looks good now? http://dpaste.com/1V30FA6 | 18:35 |
| Akuli | stratact2, very good | 18:35 |
| Akuli | stratact2, $1 exit | 18:35 |
| cyrus_ | Akuli_, what terminal command? | 18:35 |
| Akuli | cyrus_, mate-panel --reset | 18:35 |
| stratact2 | done | 18:36 |
| Akuli | stratact2, reboot into your new system :) | 18:36 |
| stratact2 | thanks Akuli, you have been a great help, I'll let you know how it goes | 18:36 |
| cyrus_ | OMG | 18:36 |
| Akuli | cyrus_, my ubuntu mate 14.04 doesn't even let me delete the panels | 18:36 |
| Akuli | i'll ask the developers about this | 18:37 |
| cyrus_ | I'm on 16.10 | 18:37 |
| cyrus_ | Thank you extremly Akuli! | 18:37 |
| Akuli | no problem :) | 18:38 |
| cyrus_ | still though I want open suse :( | 18:38 |
| cyrus_ | But thank you | 18:38 |
| Akuli | sure, go ahead and install it | 18:38 |
| Akuli | its your system | 18:38 |
| cyrus_ | remember the error though? | 18:38 |
| Akuli | the thing is, deleting all panels shouldn't be possible | 18:39 |
| cyrus_ | not all of them | 18:39 |
| cyrus_ | it makes me keep one | 18:39 |
| Akuli | oh you can add the existing one back easily | 18:39 |
| cyrus_ | but your right it shouldn't have let me | 18:39 |
| stratact2 | looks like it booted just fine | 18:39 |
| Akuli | cyrus_, right-click the top panel, add new panel | 18:39 |
| Akuli | stratact2, great :D i have no idea what was wrong but nice that it works :) | 18:39 |
| cyrus_ | no your command worked | 18:40 |
| Akuli | cyrus_, yeah but you wouldn't have needed even that | 18:40 |
| Akuli | i actually have nothing but a top panel, but it has stuff that yours doesn't | 18:40 |
| cyrus_ | but I already had added it back and it was a usless panel | 18:40 |
| cyrus_ | just black | 18:40 |
| stratact2 | although with grub, when I booted it up I got a blank screen for a while but was I suppose to get a menu to select kernels to boot into and so forth? | 18:40 |
| Akuli | it doesn't give you a menu if you only have one os | 18:41 |
| cyrus_ | btw anyone who has not switched to wicd network manager is lame | 18:41 |
| Akuli | stratact2, if you want or need it anyway hold down left shift while the computer boots | 18:41 |
| stratact2 | I see | 18:41 |
| Akuli | cyrus_, i use wicd on my laptop, but it doesn't support mobile broadband connections so network-manager here for now | 18:42 |
| cyrus_ | ok well in that case it's fine | 18:43 |
| cyrus_ | still do you have any ideas on the whole edd probing thing? | 18:43 |
| cyrus_ | It did say I could set edd to off, do you know how to do that? | 18:44 |
| Akuli | no idea :( try #ubuntu | 18:44 |
| Akuli | type /join #ubuntu here | 18:44 |
| cyrus_ | ok bye | 18:44 |
| stratact2 | I just want to say thanks again, Akuli | 18:49 |
| Akuli | no problem :) | 18:50 |
