| muaddib_ | back again. I was here about 10 hours ago trying to fix my mbr, might need to chroot and run some mbr commands | 05:18 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | muaddib_: from inside the chroot directory, before chrooting: mount -o bind /sys ./sys | 06:15 |
| gnarface | do the same for /proc, /dev, and then /dev/pts | 06:15 |
| gnarface | then you can chroot in and just run grub-install | 06:15 |
| gnarface | (as root, obviously) | 06:16 |
| gnarface | while you're in the chroot, make sure you have grub packages, i think these: grub grub-common grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common | 06:23 |
| gnarface | (if you're missing them, install them after you've chrooted into the chroot, before running grub-install) | 06:24 |
| gnarface | i guess i assume you've figured out how to at least mount the install directory, let me know if you have any questions | 06:29 |
| muaddib_ | dev and dev/pts how is that not redundant ? | 06:49 |
| muaddib_ | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 06:51 |
| muaddib_ | grub-pc : Conflicts: grub-legacy but 0.97-80 is to be installed | 06:51 |
| muaddib_ | grub2-common : Conflicts: grub-legacy but 0.97-80 is to be installed | 06:51 |
| muaddib_ | libc6-i386 : Depends: libc6 (= 2.36-9) but 2.36-9+deb12u1 is to be installed | 06:51 |
| gnarface | muaddib_: they're different filesystems, i don't know why | 07:28 |
| gnarface | muaddib_: if it is giving you those errors, maybe try running grub-install just as-is, but if that doesn't work than this will have to be revisited | 07:29 |
| gnarface | (maybe you need grub-legacy instead, i can't be sure) | 07:29 |
| gnarface | (in fact, it seems likely that either you need grub-legacy instead, or grub-legacy is why it didn't work to begin with) | 07:36 |
| muaddib_ | Installing for i386-pc platform. | 13:27 |
| muaddib_ | Installation finished. No error reported. | 13:27 |
| Xenguy | muaddib_, Good to know | 13:38 |
| muaddib_ | that was `grub-install /dev/sda` safe to reboot ? is the a query to run against the disk ? | 14:16 |
| fsmithred | muaddib_, did you also run update-grub? That will make the boot menu. | 14:32 |
| fsmithred | without that you may end up at a grub prompt. It's possible to boot from there if you know the commands, but it's a lot easier if you have a boot menu. | 14:34 |
| muaddib_ | yes, returned success | 15:02 |
| fsmithred | cool. | 15:06 |
| fsmithred | should be safe to reboot, but I guess you could look over the boot menu. | 15:06 |
| fsmithred | That would be /boot/grub/menu.list if using grub-legacy or /boot/grub/grub.cfg if using grub2 | 15:07 |
| muaddib_ | the menu never came up last time. We seem to be using the later. | 15:09 |
| fsmithred | last time meaning before running update-grub? | 15:10 |
| muaddib_ | grub never loaded after the vanilla install, so the content of the file was unknown to me until now. | 15:14 |
| muaddib_ | The system booted, probably an issue with the installer. | 15:14 |
| fsmithred | You installed from minimal-live? | 15:36 |
| fsmithred | bbl | 16:24 |
