| Merblammo | Hi. I'm trying to dual boot xubuntu on a laptop that already had Windows 10, but the only thing that ever boots off the HDD is Win10. I've disabled secure boot, disabled hibernate, but Grub never loads. Help :s | 13:55 |
| Merblammo | Btw xubuntu is installed, just won't boot | 13:57 |

| penguin42 | hmm, not usual presenter | 14:23 |
| spaceloop | t | 14:57 |
| diddledan | spaceloop: this isn't minecraft, you don't need to press T to talk | 15:01 |
| spaceloop | thanks diddledan, it was my actually irc client popping open ubuntu-uk as I was trying to /join | 15:05 |
| * penguin42 fights a dist-upgrade - it's recreating initrd's for kernel versions that don't exist and filling /boot | 15:39 | |
| penguin42 | oh, that's damn annoying: https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/03/spacex-launches-a-rocket-but-noaa-prevented-some-of-it-from-being-shown/ | 17:00 |
| TJ- | penguin42: "update-initramfs -d -k <version>" for each non-existent version | 17:03 |
| penguin42 | TJ-: Hmm, what does that do other than delete it from /boot ? | 17:04 |
| TJ- | penguin42: removes the reference from /var/lib/initrams-tools/<version> | 17:05 |
| penguin42 | TJ-: Why doesn't that happen automatically when the kernel dpkg's are removed? | 17:06 |
| TJ- | s/rams/ramfs/ | 17:06 |
| TJ- | When the system runs out of space it bails before it reaches the code that removes the reference | 17:06 |
| penguin42 | oh, that's unfortunate - so you mean when it runs out of space it end s up not doing the thing that could avoid it running out of space? | 17:07 |
| TJ- | penguin42: yes; if I recall correctly it's due to postponed triggers, and then bailing before triggers are carried out | 17:09 |
| penguin42 | TJ-: Thanks; I'd ended up removing the /var/lib/initramfs-tools by hand and was upgraded before getting your reply; one for next time | 17:11 |
| TJ- | I've got a script to do it automatically that has come in useful for users in #ubuntu, and I wrote some instructions a couple days ago. There's a tip at the end might help for the future: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Thdtg9jCjp/ | 17:12 |
| penguin42 | nod | 17:14 |

| DJones | Afternoonall | 17:56 |
| daftykins | Azelphur: i'd been playing with it on my desktop too, it is annoying you have to explicitly go to the images section sometimes - and results haven't been that ace - what are you seeing? | 17:57 |

| Azelphur | daftykins: just terrible results | 17:57 |
| DJones | daftykins: How do, long time nospeaketc,hope things are goodwith you | 17:58 |
| Azelphur | daftykins: I mean, I could see myself using it with !g every time - but I suppose that kinda violates the point | 17:58 |
| DJones | Excuse lack of spaces, need to de-crumb my keyboard | 17:59 |
| daftykins | DJones: :D yeah not too bad thanks, 2017 was a year of drama with house insurance works due to water leaks - but everywhere is nicely insulated and i got a new bathroom out of it too \o/ so pretty ace! how's about in your corner of the world? | 18:00 |
