<0> I'm using a fedora install disk to get into a shell. I'm attempting to reinstall grub on an SATA drive. I've mounted my sysimage and chrooted to it, but I cannot install grub.
<1> is there a e17 repo?
<0> I've tried the devices hd0 and /dev/sda. Neither work.
<2> Hiruko: what's it tell ya? and what are you running exactly? grub-install?
<0> Yes
<0> The error I get is: df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted filesystems: No such file or directory
<0> Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device
<2> Hiruko: yeah, I'd just run grub. you could maybe get rid of those errors by mounting /proc though.
<2> Hiruko: run grub though and do this: "root (hd0,0)" and "setup (hd0)"
<2> where you give the root command the place where /boot lives.
<0> Do I do that with sd0,0) and sd0?
<0> Or is it hd even for an sata drive?
<2> nah, grub syntax, you just go with hd0
<0> k
<2> is /dev/sda1 your /boot partition though?
<0> Thanks :)
<0> Mine is sda4
<0> I changed it though.
<2> k. just making sure. that would be (hd0,3) by the way.
<0> Yeah
<3> How can I get mkfs.reiser on Fedora? There a yum package of some kind?
<4> Chaz: hint yum provides mkfs.reiser
<3> Ooooh. The provides thing will come in handy. Thanks.
<4> Chaz: it can be overly verbose sometimes if the string you are looking for is too common
<4> Chaz: but it does work very very well for binary names or libraries names that you know with accuracy
<4> Chaz: or when you try to install a package by hand with rpm and it fails a dep check
<4> Chaz: you can use yum provides whatever to find the package you need to install
<5> I got gcc install and tried to compile Java. It says: gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 'jcl': no such file or directory.
<6> any idea on how to solve these http://rafb.net/paste/results/3teADM83.html ?
<7> lupz: remove the old kernel modules from your system and update again
<7> lupz: you may need to install the modules seperatly after the update
<6> well would make sense if i was updating the kernel modules...
<7> lupz: are you updating nvidia-glx?
<6> no
<6> i'm updating to rawhide but not the kernel itself
<7> lupz: well we really have no idea what you are doing so that was my best guess
<7> lupz: don't do that
<8> how do you restart specific network interfaces? /etc/init.d/network restarts all of them... why isnt there any /etc/init.d/net.eth0 or net.eth1 init scrips to make it easer?
<6> .. well i think it will work
<7> lupz: you can think that all you want
<6> my problem is still different
<6> how to force yum to just update the relevant packages..
<7> lupz: you have no clue what you are doing, and I am pretty sure you are doing it for all the wrong reasons
<6> StillBob: "<7> lupz: well we really have no idea what you are doing" then "StillBob> lupz: you have no clue what you are doing, and I am pretty sure you are doing it for all the wrong reasons"
<6> good..
<6> btw very self-explaining :)
<7> lupz: you are going to end up with a mostly broken system
<6> not sure
<6> i will have full rawhide
<7> No
<6> which is frozen for fc5t3
<7> not if you do not upgrade the kernel
<6> yes
<6> the kernel itself doesn't have any major feature i will be missing
<7> lupz: just wait til monday and get the fc5t3
<6> so i can cope with that
<6> i want to preserve my uptime, so i prefer to try with yum..
<7> lol
<6> if you don't know how to do, simply don't reply :)
<7> uptime is so 1999
<6> well i still like it :)
<9> StillBob: you mean you have booted your box after then?
<7> AndyCap: just a few times
<9> che: Evening
<10> AndyCap, evening
<7> che: Big plans this weekend?
<7> lupz: I would suggest you take time to read http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Testing and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JefSpaleta/TestingManifesto
<6> StillBob: ok
<6> btw is there any yum feature to *ever* mark for update the package on a repo
<6> even when lower version number ?
<9> lupz: man yum.conf
<8> how do you restart specific network interfaces? like eth1 and eth0 /etc/init.d/network restarts all of them...
<9> GUIPEnguin: ifup ifdown
<6> AndyCap: any more specific hint ? :D
<7> Hey fedorared
<11> Hi.
<9> lupz: includepkgs ?
<6> mmm
<6> can try with that
<6> but not sure that it will downgrade
<9> that's not what you asked.
<6> [23:58.45] <6> btw is there any yum feature to *ever* mark for update the package on a repo
<6> [23:58.56] <6> even when lower version number ?
<6> anyway is there that feature ?
<6> well my problem is
<6> that yum doesn't mark for update a glitz package that is on nrpms repo and has the version number equal|higher than that on rawhide
<9> nrpms and rawhide? you're on your own
<6> eheh
<6> for this i need first
<6> to downgrade
<6> to pure fedora
<6> or to *mark* for upgrade packages on rawhide *ever*
<6> but i don't know how to do that
<9> lupz: you might try rephrasing that, cause it doesn't make any more sense now than the last time
<6> ok
<6> i need a feature to make yum always prefer packages on a selected repository even when the version of the package on that repository is lower or equal to the installed one
<9> add exclude= to the other repos
<6> i try :)
<6> hoping it will downgrade
<9> lupz: it won't
<9> lupz: that you'll have to do on your own
<6> argh :D
<6> i think i will hack the yum script :)
<9> lupz: yellowdog updater modified
<6> with something like if $repo = "development" upgrade :D
<9> lupz: write your own yum plugin
<6> eheh
<6> btw i can find a better way to downgrade
<6> iirc apt has a downgrade feature, i would love that thing for these situations...
<7> upgrade to rawhide and then downgrade, man what a mess
<6> is it possible to use apt with rawhide ?
<11> lupz: nobody has tested it. and apt's unmaintained.
<12> lupz: Good luck hacking on Yum, you know it's ugly-*** Python, right?
<9> Khaytsus: and what has a nice ***?
<6> btw fedora is bleeding edge, and rawhide is cutting edge.. so why not test these solution... :D
<6> btw python isn't that bad
<9> lupz: because like inhaling fluoride it might be interesting, but not alltogether useful
<13> how do i get a screenshot?
<9> d4rk3y35: in gnome, press printscreen
<13> and paste it in gimp, or another graphic editor??
<11> d4rk3y35: Print Screen key.
<9> d4rk3y35: dialogue pops up. you save or do whatever.
<11> On my keyboard: "prt scr"
<7> bleeding edge does not need to include hemorrhaging
<9> fedora is leading edge imho.
<4> StillBob: if you do bleeding edge right... you don't even notice you are loosing blood
<4> StillBob: you just peacefully go to sleep
<7> |Jef|: that is my point
<9> StillBob: not that kind of sleep
<7> |Jef|: you p*** out before it gets bad
<9> Well, lupz here is more headed for seppuku
<4> AndyCap: its an honerable death... we should all hope for such an end
<6> seppuku ?
<7> lupz is a bit loopy to even be logical
<9> |Jef|: without a second. :)
<4> StillBob: it is friday
<9> unless someone here does him the favour.
<7> |Jef|: I noticed 2 hours ago
<6> i'm pretty sure it will eventually work :P
<4> lupz: i use to say the same thing about fusion
<7> lupz: it will after a clean install if nothing else right?
<6> eheheh
<9> mm-kay: "Seppuku - a Practical Guide"
<6> the power of linux is that you don't need to reboot or format like in windows... just hack these power out :P
<7> lupz: the power of linux is in the source, it has nothing to do with uptime
<6> okay
<6> i like linux for the uptime too, why i can't ?
<9> lupz: we don't know why you can't.
<9> well, at least I don't
<6> well isn't really a reply tell me : what i should do instead, what i should like etc.
