[06:19] <thatgraemeguy> bushtech: https://askubuntu.com/questions/88384/how-can-i-repair-grub-how-to-get-ubuntu-back-after-installing-windows/88432#88432
[06:20] <thatgraemeguy> I know you didn't do anything windows-related like in the question, but the steps to fix a busted boot process are the same
[06:20] <thatgraemeguy> also, good morning everyone :-)
[06:36] <bushtech> thatgraemeguy: Thanks for that, I'll have a look. I suspect a kernel problem but what do I know;)
[07:46] <bushtech> This server on bootup goes through the mb welcome screen, flashes up grub and after that nothing. If I access the grub screen on bootup and go to advanced I see versions 4.4.0-81 to 4.4.0-83 available. But none of them will let me boot up. Have gone into recovery mode but I cant get internet access there to do some updates or whatever. So basically snookered now
[08:36] <bushtech> When running dpkg in recovery mode it wants to install the following: libmircommon 7, libmircore1, libmirplatform15, mir-platform-graphics-mesa-kms12 mir-platform-graphics-mesa-x12 mir-platforminput-evdev6 and upgrade coreutils libmirclient9 mir-client-platform mesa-graphics-drivers-desktop
[08:37] <bushtech> so presumably I need to get internet access in recovery mode so that I can install/upgrade
[08:40] <bushtech> ok semi sorted
[08:41] <bushtech> looks like it got internet access and booted through
[08:44] <bushtech> will have to see if it survives a reboot after all the update/upgades
[09:22] <bushtech> grr! failed restart again. In recovery mode theres some scrolling text and one of them states it failed to load start kernel modules
[11:07] <antonza> wazzup all
[11:09] <antonza> If anybody knows of someone looking for a job in Randburg let them know we are looking. Must have knowledge in python, php, mysql, linux and a brain. Will also send a mail out to the distribution group.
[11:29] <Kilos> guten tag
[16:50] <superfly> bwahaha, "and a brain"
[19:15] <inetpro> good evening

[19:19] <sakhi> Good evening 
[19:56] <inetpro> bushtech: welcome back
[19:56] <inetpro> oh and hi sakhi

[20:45] <bushtech> a manual mount I have for one of the computers this server is meant to back up
