d_ven0m: /dev/sda1 is the partition cant use that without mounting I guess and the boot directory is the /boot :)
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:46:10
anirbaan: You do not have /boot mounted according to your 'df -h' output
JFox762 2017-03-04 19:46:26
What is the best way to develope a script to switch audio sources with a touch of a button?
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 19:47:40
anirbaan: Sorry - df -h - from a loveDVD not the output desired in this case . let's try ' sudo fdisk -lu ' to for sure see that sda1 is the target here .
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:49:34
anirbaan: Assuming your root dir is sda1, and sda1 is mounted on /mnt, and you have a /boot dir on that partition, then /mnt/boot should be correct, however your error output shows grub attempting to install a la EFI, which is not what you want
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 19:51:04
d_ven0m: No, assumming that the target is sda1 mounted .. then the command ' sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda ' is correct .
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:52:21
Bashing-om: grub autodetects /boot on the mounted partition?
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:53:50
I will admit I have not used grub on mbr in a while, I've been using EFI as of late
anirbaan 2017-03-04 19:57:09
d_ven0m: Bashing-om the fdisk -l, http://paste.ubuntu.com/24116013/
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 19:58:11
d_ven0m: EFI there you have the advantage over me - :).

has anyone experienced this issue with 16/04 LTS
chaos505 2017-03-04 19:59:49
openConnection: connect: No such file or directory
chaos505 2017-03-04 19:59:50
cannot connect to brltty at :0
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:00:21
Bashing-om: Well at least we're all part of the same helpful community :)
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 20:01:54
anirbaan: I will accept that sda1 holds / . Now UNmount all you have presently mounted , and then remount ' sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ' amd then run ' sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda ; sudo umount /mnt ' . Reboot into the install and we recheck grub !
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 20:04:16
d_ven0m: +10 ! .. We are all in this together .
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:05:06
anirbaan: I am almost certain what Bashing-om said will fix the problem. I had forgotten that grub autodetects the /boot with mbr (I was thinking of EFI where you must specify the EFI directly)
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 20:06:37
d_ven0m: Jere we told the gurb installer where it's config file are ( sda1 ) and to install the boot code to the boot sector (sda) .
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:09:05
Bashing-om: +10 for (most likely) saving the day! :)
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:09:42
anirbaan: any progress?
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 20:10:18
d_ven0m: Well ,, if it had of been EFI .. it can then get hairy .
reisio 2017-03-04 20:11:08
irrelephant, heheheh
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:12:45
Bashing-om: I originally hated EFI, but I actually much prefer it over MBR now. Every OS has it's own folder on the partition which makes it easy to change bootloaders
mundus2018 2017-03-04 20:13:23
Is it possible to remove stuff from {} with find so I could change /path/to/file to /path/to
reisio 2017-03-04 20:14:27
d_ven0m: easier than?
reisio 2017-03-04 20:14:38
mundus2018: what for
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 20:14:48
d_ven0m: Yeah , much better platform . And I do prefer GPT partitioning . Just so different :(
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:15:46
reisio: Yes much easier... well at least in my opinion. But I know everyone has their own preferences and I still know a lot of people who hate EFI
reisio 2017-03-04 20:16:24
how's it easier, though...
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:17:00
Bashing-om: Definitely love GPT, I use many partitions and I hate having to make extended partitions :P
reisio 2017-03-04 20:17:37
what do you use many partitions for
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:18:40
reisio: I find it easier because when I need to work with the bootloaders, all the efi images are saved in their own dir. It's simply a matter of copying the one you want to use to the main EFI Boot dir
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:19:13
reisio: as opposed to overwriting the MBR constantly
reisio 2017-03-04 20:19:15
and that's simpler than selecting something from GRUB's menu?
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:19:38
reisio: I still use grub with EFI
ducasse 2017-03-04 20:20:12
you don't need the grub menu, you can use the boot manager in the efi firmware
reisio 2017-03-04 20:21:05
right, and how is that easier than using GRUB? :p
garrettevans 2017-03-04 20:21:27
anyone know how to get an xbox one controller working on 14.04
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:21:48
ducasse: I know, but I just let Grub do it's thing, and it detects Windows efi file anyways, so I just let it chainload if need be
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:23:02
The efi implementation on my computer is poor, but it's there so it works :/ Grub is a nicer frontend for me
ducasse 2017-03-04 20:23:40
reisio: i didn't say it was easier :) i think efi is nice, but that might be because i have a good implementation.
gaurav42 2017-03-04 20:25:50

I want to open one DMS site that contains activex so some one told me I need to make client Ubuntu and access that DMS from window server then I can open that DMS site
reisio 2017-03-04 20:28:14
gaurav42: dms?

yes
gaurav42 2017-03-04 20:28:57
just min I send you link
reisio 2017-03-04 20:29:24
ducasse: no d_ven0m said it was
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 20:33:50
d_ven0m: anirbaan Nope ! .. chroot, purge grub and try again ?
ducasse 2017-03-04 20:34:44
grub will do an efi install if /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ is mounted and contains efi variables
gaurav422 2017-03-04 20:34:53
revision: anirbaan is right it's DMS of dealer
sharpish 2017-03-04 20:35:50
gaurav42, so you are trying to access a web server on your own network?
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:36:31
ducasse: this is his output of 'df -h' https://paste.ubuntu.com/24115969/
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 20:36:52
ducasse: If one were to boot in EFI mode on a MBR install . would that give the result of the grub installer hunting for a EFI partition ?
gaurav422 2017-03-04 20:36:52
no it's company's DMS server I need to configure up than I can connect DMS in windows
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:37:22
Bashing-om: oh, yes definitely that could be it
ducasse 2017-03-04 20:37:25
d_ven0m: it won't show up there, but 'mount' would show it. so would a simple 'ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/'
ducasse 2017-03-04 20:37:39
Bashing-om: yep
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:38:22
anirbaan: You didn't run the live image in EFI mode, right?
gaurav422 2017-03-04 20:38:43
sharpish: this is the DMS site http://mdwaccess.com/DMSContext/dmscommon/LoginAction.action
anirbaan 2017-03-04 20:38:44

I am trying to create an mbr live-usb and then try
sharpish 2017-03-04 20:39:27
gaurav422, i have no idea what dms is, but can you at least ping the ip of the server you want to connect to?
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:39:29
anirbaan: Ahh. Then you're going to have to reboot into the MBR version
ducasse 2017-03-04 20:39:54
anirbaan: just select csm/legacy from bios before boot
gaurav422 2017-03-04 20:39:58
yes but site can't work correctly
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 20:39:58
ducasse: Ho Kay : http://paste.ubuntu.com/24115906/ cause we ain't got no EFI partition here .{pardon the bad English usage }
anirbaan 2017-03-04 20:40:07
d_ven0m: Bashing-om that's likely :)
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 20:40:53
anirbaan: That command should work if in MBR mode, assuming all drives remain the same
ducasse 2017-03-04 20:41:05
Bashing-om: no, it would only be about 100M or so, fat32
