[00:17] <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)
[00:24] <Lns> FoolsRun: interesting
[00:25] <Lns> Have you held down CTRL during boot to see if the menu comes up then?
[00:25] <Lns> Grub2 requires that
[00:26] <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
[00:27] <FoolsRun> This server has a single RAID volume. 3 physical drives.
[00:27] <Lns> hmm
[00:28] <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 
[00:29] <FoolsRun> Weird enough to work every other time?
[00:29] <Lns> sure
[00:29] <Lns> well
[00:30] <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?
[00:31] <Lns> both ;)
[00:31] <Lns> sorry gotta run!
[00:31] <Lns> good luck
[00:31] <FoolsRun> thanks
[04:00] <ajmetal87> Is this a ubuntu help channel? I have a basic question i'm sure anyone with intermediate Ubuntu expierence can answer.
[04:02] <HedgeMage> ajmetal87: the ubuntu help chan is #ubuntu -- this is #edubuntu which is more edu-focused.
[04:03] <ajmetal87> Appreciated.
