raydog45000Hello all, I am trying to set up an ubuntu server, I checked the disc for defects and tested memory, after I choose a host name it fails at 43%  of starting up the partition,  how can I get it to complete?14:13
holsteinraydog45000: i would test the hard drive... just to be sure. or just throw another in and see... there are some server distros that run live like http://www.turnkeylinux.org/14:19
raydog45000like test it from the BIOS14:19
raydog45000?14:19
raydog45000I accidentally installed the desktop version first so IDK if that means the hard drive is good.14:20
ltrojanwhat exactly do you mean "it fails"? does the system boot?14:22
holsteinraydog45000: ubuntu = ubuntuserver... if you get *any* buntu installed, you can just convert to ubuntuserver from there14:22
mustmodifyHi... I'm hoping you guys can point me to the appropriate channel for my question. I'm building a new box and want to set up multiple touch-screen monitors like this one http://bit.ly/H59Esd ... what hoops will I have to jump through to get this to work properly so I can tab on a window and have it become focused? If I put a KVM in, to switch back and forth to a windows machine, will I have problems with the touch-screen comin14:23
raydog45000it  freezes at 43%14:23
raydog45000holstein: will it turn into command line and have LAMP?14:23
holsteinraydog45000: "it" will do whatever you like it to do14:23
raydog45000j14:24
raydog45000holstein: ok guess I'll look into that thanks14:24
holsteinraydog45000: lots of folks start with a minimal install on the server boxes.. like lubuntu or xubuntu or lighter14:28
raydog45000holstein: Hmm.. I think I made a stupid mistake14:28
raydog45000when I installed desktop version I said to created it using windows which partitioned fine14:29
raydog45000then when I realized I messed up I created the server disk using create with windows14:29
raydog45000when I already partioned and installed unbuntu14:29
holsteinraydog45000: no worries... sometimes i use something like virtualbox to "play around"14:30
holsteini did that a lot in the beginning, when i was learning... not that you are a noob.. just that its an easy way to experiment14:30
raydog45000couldn't that be the problem, its trying to start the partition like it's windows instead of unbuntu14:30
holsteinraydog45000: its hard to say... i was thining something with the disk though.. i always have spare hard drives laying around, and i just switch them in to troubleshoot14:31
raydog45000trial and error my favorite way to learn14:32
holsteinhey, whatever works.. if i have the time, i like that method just fine :)14:32
