Comments:
<0> holy ****
<1> can someone describe the boot process of linux to me, in a kinds quick overview?
<0> take
<0> mushrooms
<2> how do you login as root in ubuntu, i only got in as root by accident, because something failed
<3> vertex78 no more like the msdos.sys file in old dos systems. it's the first thing on the system that is read, it controls how the system starts. the init table init is the initelization process
<4> !status
<2> i usually use sudo su to run commands as root
<5> !status
<2> but that got borked
<2> when my install went screwy
<1> intellikey: ahh ok
<6> it says only root can do that
<7> vertex78: grub loads kernel and initrd.. boots into initrd.. does basic startup stuff, then mounts root disk and proceeds through rcS.d, then rc2.d
<6> and sudo doesn't seem to change that
<6> it doesn't even prompt for a p***word
<6> :(
<8> Just did a clean install of Ubuntu on fresh hard drives. When it reboots to start the second phase of the installation I get "Missing Operating System!" What gives?
<9> arrick: you have a bot now? :)
<10> bImInTroule, i was just asking because about a week ago, my box was doing just fine, then all of a sudden a site i was working on gave php errors. everything ground to a halt. gome panels died, things just started crashing like mad. i rebooted, couldnt get back into ubuntu. couldnt even boot a live cd or install cd. segfaults on any cd i tried to boot and also the install on my drive. turned otu to be bad ram
<4> Toma-: first i've noticed it
<1> oneko:what is rcS.d and rc2.d
<11> Toma-, yep
<9> arrick: what does it do?
<7> vertex78: SysV style init.. wikipedia or google mgith explain it better..
<11> its ubotu
<2> e-sin ... hmmm, i think this hard drive may be bad actually
<7> vertex78: there are two directories: /etc/rcS.d, /etc/rc2.d
<9> oh?
<12> I found a problem the the way phpbb2 is packaged, how do I report that?
<11> yeah
<7> vertex78: each contains a number of files like 'S99whatever'.. these run startup scripts contained in /etc/init.d
<13> Roger: did you selected 1 (Erase entire hard drive)?
<9> !MYU info
<14> Toma-: My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
<10> bImInTroule, just sounded kinda similar in the all-of-a-suddenness. but yeah it does sound like a drive failure, especially if windows is acting up as well
<6> the ubuntu live cd won't let me do the mount command cause I'm not root
<7> vertex78: S means 'start this program', K means stop.. the number is the order they run in
<8> Pwcr - Yest
<8> yes
<6> what can I do?
<2> actually, windows is on a different hard drive altogether
<2> so windows is running fine
<5> bimberi will you re send that message i accidentally closed it out
<15> !status
<3> yipe sudo mount /dev/hd?# /mount/point where ? is the letter and # is the partition number. mount/point is an empty dir that you will mount it on.
<1> oneko: ok
<2> oh great, all my kevin rose podcasts are down the drain
<2> :S
<6> I'm gonna need better instructions then that:|
<4> shivers - it responds to /msgs in channel
<7> heh
<9> !coc
<14> [coc] the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, which we ask all Ubuntu users to follow. You can find the Code of Conduct at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/
<7> it's hard to fix boot problems and borked systems over irc..
<6> and it won't let me do sudo
<6> it doesn't even ask for hte p***word when I try
<2> so, what's with ubuntu and root
<16> caminomaster: pong
<2> can anyone explain how to log in as root
<3> it wont ask for a p***wd on the live cd
<4> !tell bImInTroule about root
<8> Google search indicates that "missing operating system!" is often an issue related to dual booting. But this is a clean install. Very strange.
<2> can you login as root?
<7> bimberi: 'sudo sh'
<7> You can login as root by setting a root p***word
<3> sudo echo boo <-- if it says boo it worked
<7> !tell oneko about root
<13> roger_: Hmm that's strange, probably install CD didn't fully corrected.
<17> whre can i see the synpatic
<6> okay, what partition number should I use?
<18> Crimsun: understood what I 've done?
<6> I used tyhe default partition setup when I installed ubuntu
<19> i am having a lot of trouble instaling my ATI graphics card
<3> yipe that depneds entirely on your system.
<8> Do you mean bad CD? Because I've installed with this exact CD a few days ago.
<6> ****ty:(
<2> oh crap, i cant even access that website to figure out how to set the root p***word
<4> oneko: you're going to have to hit tab twice after "bim" :)
<3> yipe do sudo fdisk -l to find out.
<7> bimberi: yeah, old habits die hard. sorry. :)
<16> caminomaster: I just returned from getting groceries; fill me in?
<19> can any one elp pls
<4> oneko: np :)
<20> how can i call a bash script from the cron its ./script_1 o it is incorrect
<6> oh thank you God I figured it out
<19> wold relly preea**** it
<2> *sigh, this is most distressing
<6> okay, I'll get my inittab and then pastebin it
<7> bImInTroule: you can 'sudo sh' then 'p***wd' to set a root p***
<21> How do i execute a 'make all' in a bash script for a given directory? I can do the 'make all' if I cd into it but it fails when I run it in a script!
<3> good
<8> Ooooohhh... wait a minute. I may have it working. :-)
<2> thanks oneko
<12> !tell sean about status
<4> bImInTroule: sorry, forgot you didn't have gui :)
<13> roger_: okay let me know
<2> :/
<1> If i recompiled a new kernel, is the only thing I would have to do after that is replace the current kernel with the new one or is it more complicated that this?
<7> I'm just happy to have my diskless machine working fine now
<7> pure silence. :)
<8> I tried formatting a second IDE drive during install. I think that may have been the hang-up.
<2> oneko, diskless machine?
<2> how'd you rig that ?
<2> flash memory ?
<6> ach... live CD is so slow
<7> bImInTroule: yeah, it loads the kernel, OS, root disk, etc over the network
<2> nah, those aren't in m*** production yet
<6> :( my baby
<2> are they ?
<7> bImInTroule: it doesnt have any local drives at all
<2> oneko, oh, ok
<13> roger_: it's take for awhile.. if your HD led flashing, it's working..
<4> oneko: ltsp?
<8> Yeah... it's installing packages now.
<2> i can't wait till the start making flash memory hard drives
<7> bimberi: no, i set it up myself
<22> !status
<8> *Fingers Crossed*
<2> i wouldn't be having the problems i'm having now :@
<4> oneko: ah, kk
<7> i used to do it with my SGIs
<18> Crimsun: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo
<7> and back when I had my old-school pentium 100 ;)
<2> so guys, what do you think, should i fight with this thing to get back my xserver
<2> or throw in the towel and reinstall ?
<2> any last ditch efforts i should make ?
<7> bImInTroule: if i was there, at your machine, i'd fix it ;)
<7> bImInTroule: but it might be easier just to reinstall
<8> What the heck is "bicyclerepair" in the package installation?
<16> caminomaster: freepats is in universe.
<2> *sigh
<7> was your machine 'real custom' ?
<3> bImInTroule !borked
<2> i don't remember the ubuntu install cd giving me the option to fix a broken installation
<2> :/
<6> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12140
<13> roger_: same mines too that's new to me
<6> there you go
<7> alot of manually edited stuff in /etc?
<3> !tell bImInTroule about borked
<6> a note, with the part I changed, then the whole file
<7> bImInTroule: what I do on a hosed system is mv /etc to /etc-old, and rm everything except /home
<7> bImInTroule: then reinstall without formatting
<23> oneko: I found a better way to do what I was doing: convert the bin/cue to an iso
<6> did anyone else watch star trek on G4 just now?
<7> eno: ah. good. sorry i couldn't have been of more help :) i don't do alot of CD burning.
<19> is there any on i can chat with one on one that might help get my graphic card working
<19> :(
