| FoolsRun | Hi, I installed Edubuntu today on a server using the "whole hard disk" option and I don't seem to get a GRUB menu at boot. Is it possible it wasn't installed? The machine boots (mostly, it seems to fail to boot every second time) | 00:17 |
|---|---|---|
| Lns | FoolsRun: interesting | 00:24 |
| Lns | Have you held down CTRL during boot to see if the menu comes up then? | 00:25 |
| Lns | Grub2 requires that | 00:25 |
| FoolsRun | Lns: I haven't. I'm not near the machine anymore, but I'll give that a shot. | 00:26 |
| Lns | weird how it won't boot every second time though | 00:26 |
| FoolsRun | The machine seems to get stuck at a blinking cursor every second boot | 00:26 |
| Lns | i had that issue a while back on a server with 2 identical hard disks in it | 00:26 |
| FoolsRun | (well, first and third out of four total) | 00:26 |
| Lns | i was dd'ing them for backup and it would freak out because of the duplicate UUIDs | 00:26 |
| FoolsRun | This server has a single RAID volume. 3 physical drives. | 00:27 |
| Lns | hmm | 00:27 |
| FoolsRun | I told the LiveCD to "use whole drive" when it installed | 00:28 |
| FoolsRun | It saw it as a single volume, identified it as RAID, I assumed it would work | 00:28 |
| Lns | FoolsRun: hardware raid card? | 00:28 |
| FoolsRun | yes | 00:28 |
| * Lns doesn't see the prob with that, though grub is weird | 00:28 | |
| FoolsRun | Weird enough to work every other time? | 00:29 |
| Lns | sure | 00:29 |
| Lns | well | 00:29 |
| Lns | i mean, it's happened to me before too, so... =p | 00:30 |
| Lns | i guess i just don't know the answer so i think it's weird | 00:30 |
| FoolsRun | the every other boot thing, or the blinking cursor thing? | 00:30 |
| Lns | both ;) | 00:31 |
| Lns | sorry gotta run! | 00:31 |
| Lns | good luck | 00:31 |
| FoolsRun | thanks | 00:31 |
| ajmetal87 | Is this a ubuntu help channel? I have a basic question i'm sure anyone with intermediate Ubuntu expierence can answer. | 04:00 |
| HedgeMage | ajmetal87: the ubuntu help chan is #ubuntu -- this is #edubuntu which is more edu-focused. | 04:02 |
| ajmetal87 | Appreciated. | 04:03 |
