| [03:18] <emmetea> quick question, i was going to edit the grub2/displays page because there is an error but it is locked. who should i inform them about the error in the command syntax? | |
| [03:26] <emmetea> ping? | |
| [03:26] <phillw> emmetea: log on and you will get edit privalidges | |
| [03:27] <emmetea> i have, but the document is immutable | |
| [03:28] <emmetea> it is a simple spelling mistake, they have to find out versioning info type in "grub-install -v" rather than "grub-install -V" | |
| [03:29] <emmetea> however the command they have compiles with verbose information | |
| [03:31] <phillw> emmetea: can you post the link to the page | |
| [03:32] <emmetea> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Displays#Installing_Splash_Images | |
| [03:34] <phillw> The installed version of GRUB on the system can be obtained by running grub-install -v | |
| [03:34] <phillw> is what I see on edit? | |
| [03:35] <phillw> emmetea: ^^ | |
| [03:36] <emmetea> i'm sorry i didn't understand what you meant, but yes that is the line i am talking about | |
| [03:39] <phillw> emmetea: the flag you asked for is the one being used? "grub-install -v" rather than "grub-install -V" | |
| [03:39] <phillw> I do not see a problem when I view the page with what you have suggested ? Can you please explain what you are seeing and what the page is ? | |
| [03:41] <emmetea> i'm logged in and the page is uneditable. that line there should be a "grub-install -V" but they have "grub-install -v" the lowercase "-v" runs grub-install with verbose messaging, while "-V" shows what version of grub2 you have installed. | |
| [03:44] <emmetea> does that make sense? sorry if my english isn't great | |
| [03:47] <phillw> emmetea: try now :) | |
| [03:48] <emmetea> awesome, thank you :D i happened to notice because instead of output of "grub-install (GRUB) 2.02~beta2-9" it was a long list of things. | |
| [03:49] <phillw> emmetea: you should be able to edit that page. | |
| [03:51] <phillw> pleia2: can you get in touch with emmetea and find out why they could not make that edit for a typo?, thannks | |
| [03:52] <phillw> emmetea: pleia2 is the nearest mod I could find on the list. She will will in touch in a couple of days. If you have no reply do feel free to ping me. | |
| [03:53] <emmetea> sounds good, thanks again :) | |
| [03:57] <phillw> emmetea: and thank you for taking the time to point out an error. Typo's do happen. I hope that with you having found one you may join the docs / wiki teams... We always need people :) | |
| [04:04] <emmetea> yup, had registered, thats how i had noticed i couldn't edit it | |
| [04:15] <phillw> emmetea: most odd, I could edit it... and I'm only a mere mortal like you. hopefully pleia2 can give you a hint as to why you could not. | |
| [04:15] <phillw> She's a 'boss' :) | |
| [04:20] <phillw> emmetea: as 14.04 has just escaped into the wild as an lts... there are quite a few tired people, please be patient as they actually have some sleep before 14.10 preperations land on us all :) | |
| [11:59] <belkinsa> phillw, I would suggest to users that they log in but once they are redirected to the main page, go back to that page and do a hard refresh. That should help them. | |
