| jstrem | error message: unable to install grub in /dev/sda . executing failed. fatal error. | 05:01 |
| sheptard | I hate how ubuntu assumes you want the boot loader installed on SDA | 05:02 |
| sheptard | s/SDA/sda/ | 05:02 |
| jstrem | skip it and do a manual install... I'm guessing is the work around? | 05:02 |
| christinasalisbu | Hello! | 05:05 |
| christinasalisbu | I have a couple “maybe” quick questions, it is more Minecraft specific. So we keep getting this error Authentication servers are down. But authentication servers Aren’t down, so I feel like it is a problem with our firewall or if anyone knows something else that would be great! | 05:06 |
| jstrem | sounds like a port forwarding/minecraft/router issue rather than a ubuntu issue? | 05:09 |
| jstrem | yeah. new install and dodge grub. .. bad idea. I get nothing but a blank screen on boot. time to burn a dvd and forget usb. | 05:10 |
| christinasalisbu | It sounds more like a Firewall issue is there a way to uninstall I tried something like sfw disable or something like that. | 05:14 |

| hxm | can i change a partition type with fdisk? | 19:06 |
| Patrickdk | depends | 19:07 |
| Patrickdk | though, the partition type normally doesn't mean anything and is rarely used | 19:07 |
| hxm | is a logic partition with linux format but i want swap | 19:07 |
| hxm | ah found it, "t" | 19:09 |
| Patrickdk | assuming your using old partitions, and not gpt | 19:11 |
| hxm | yes, old partitions | 19:11 |
| hxm | i saw the warning | 19:11 |
| Finetundra | has anyone here managed to install ubuntu server on an IBM xSeries 225 type 8647? | 19:51 |
| bekks | Finetundra: Which issue exactly do you have, installing Ubuntu on a IBM xSeries 225 type 8647? :) | 19:58 |
| Finetundra | bekks, primarily its getting the blasted thing past GRUB. past that nothing much that effects useability too badly | 20:00 |
| bekks | Whats the issue at that point? | 20:00 |
| Finetundra | i get a message saying that the resolution cannot be displayed and then it just sits there with that message | 20:01 |
| Patrickdk | but who is saying that? | 20:02 |
| Finetundra | what do you mean who? | 20:02 |
| Finetundra | Patrickdk, the graphics card i believe | 20:04 |
| Patrickdk | no, graphics cards don't print errors | 20:05 |
| Patrickdk | sounds like you have a crap monitor | 20:05 |
| Patrickdk | and your system knows it can do better so it did | 20:05 |
| Patrickdk | if you can see grub, then grub isn't the problem | 20:06 |
| Patrickdk | something else is using a high video res | 20:06 |
| Finetundra | Patrickdk, the graphics card has 8mb of vram. the monitors i use work perfectly fine with signal coming off of any other machine | 20:06 |
| Patrickdk | yes, but what does any of that have to do with this issue? | 20:06 |
| Patrickdk | did you tell the other systems to use the same video res that this system is using? | 20:07 |
| Patrickdk | if you did, the same issue would exist | 20:07 |
| Finetundra | so what are you getting at? | 20:08 |
| Patrickdk | I already told you | 20:08 |
| Patrickdk | what part of it didn't you understand? | 20:08 |
| Finetundra | yes, but booting to grub is the only thing that causes this. what you suggested leaves me a tad confused | 20:09 |
| Patrickdk | can you see or not see the grub menu? | 20:09 |
| Finetundra | can't see it at all. | 20:10 |
| Patrickdk | even if you use the shift key? | 20:10 |
| Finetundra | usually. i got past ti with that once but never again | 20:11 |
| Finetundra | *it | 20:11 |
| Finetundra | it displays fine with everything but grub | 20:12 |
| Patrickdk | so your looking at doing soemthing like this | 20:12 |
| Patrickdk | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2189519 | 20:12 |
| Patrickdk | depending on exactly what video card your using | 20:13 |
| Finetundra | i think so | 20:14 |
| qman | Finetundra: have you trued the nomodeset option? | 20:34 |
| qman | tried* | 20:34 |
| Finetundra | qman, whats that? | 20:37 |
| qman | it turns off kernel mode setting | 20:38 |
| === jvwjgames_ is now known as jvwjgames | ||
| qman | Finetundra: there should be an F key option to use it from the live disc, but if you don't see it, just hit to enter parameters manually and add nomodeset to the end of the kernel boot line | 20:39 |
| Patrickdk | qman, but nomodeset is a kernel option, not grub | 20:48 |
| Patrickdk | it would have no impact on grub | 20:48 |
| Patrickdk | and the kernel loads after grub | 20:49 |
| qman | grub's visibility is irrelevant as long as it's working afterward | 20:50 |
| qman | especially for the installer | 20:50 |
| Patrickdk | but he only said he had an issue with grub | 20:50 |
| Patrickdk | though, the video the kernel uses afterwards, is completely independent | 20:50 |

| JustEnki | hi, is anyone here familiar with socat? | 21:21 |
| grendal_prime | this is sort of off topic...but ummm i need some project management software for something kinda odd. | 21:23 |
| grendal_prime | like for a hydro electric company. | 21:23 |
| kevindf | I'm currently running a Teamspeak server & OpenVPN server on my Ubuntu server that's running on a "old" PC, I'm planning to run a LAMP server also in order to host a Teamspeak web interface. If i'm correct installing and hosting a LAMP server just for this web interface without traffic won't take much of my hardware resources if i'm correct? | 21:23 |
| grendal_prime | can anyone recomend something? | 21:23 |
| grendal_prime | screen sharing is pretty proc intensive | 21:24 |
| grendal_prime | when you say old pc...what is the specs on it? | 21:25 |
| grendal_prime | and teamspeak server? i though with teamspeak you sent your stream to their servers...therefore reducing the bandwidth required on your uplink. | 21:26 |
| kevindf | AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3000+ with 1048GB RAM | 21:27 |
| kevindf | 1024* | 21:27 |
| Finetundra | kevindf, you sure about that being GB? | 21:28 |
| Finetundra | not mb | 21:29 |
| kevindf | It's just about hardware resources, I've got enough network capacity | 21:29 |
| kevindf | Yes sorry, that's a typo :) | 21:29 |
| hxm | how to quick format with makefs.ext3? | 21:30 |
