Kilos | sjoe | 16:24 |
hannolom | Hi All - i'm back | 16:25 |
hannolom | I figured out what was wrong in my servers - part of anyways | 16:26 |
Kilos | hi hannolom | 16:50 |
Kilos | what did you find | 16:50 |
hannolom | hi - sorry i'm back | 17:04 |
hannolom | The reason I keep on getting a out of range is that the screens I use does not seem to like the low res. | 17:05 |
hannolom | I edit the grub to 800 X 600 or higher and presto!\ | 17:05 |
Kilos | cool | 17:06 |
hannolom | I can however still not get the GUI (ubuntu-desktop) to work | 17:06 |
Kilos | from the server you installed | 17:06 |
Kilos | do you see the command prompt | 17:07 |
Kilos | wanting login and password | 17:07 |
Kilos | have you run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 17:08 |
hannolom | done that | 17:09 |
Kilos | are you doing it now from the server keyboard itself? | 17:09 |
Kilos | or ssh still | 17:10 |
hannolom | nope - directly on the server itself | 17:11 |
Kilos | good | 17:11 |
Kilos | run | 17:11 |
Kilos | sudo apt-get install aptitude synaptic ubuntu-desktop | 17:11 |
hannolom | Broken packages error | 17:13 |
Kilos | again | 17:13 |
Kilos | from what mirror | 17:13 |
hannolom | and this time I am on ZA.ubuntu | 17:13 |
Kilos | wow | 17:13 |
Kilos | sudo dpkg --configure -a | 17:14 |
Kilos | how good is the drive you have in there | 17:14 |
hannolom | done - just gave me a new line | 17:15 |
Kilos | sudo apt-get install -f | 17:15 |
hannolom | raid 5 - 4 drives 140 GB each | 17:15 |
Kilos | in that one server | 17:15 |
Kilos | i mean what drive are you installing on | 17:16 |
hannolom | done - 0 upgraded, 0 new insatlled, 0 removed and 0 not upgraded | 17:16 |
Kilos | i dont know raid stuff, but what is on those 4 drives | 17:17 |
hannolom | all 4 drives form one expanded drive - controlled by the HP raid controler. 450 GB in total | 17:18 |
Kilos | did that command fix anything | 17:18 |
Kilos | ok but there is nothing on them at the moment right, only this install? | 17:18 |
hannolom | yes | 17:18 |
hannolom | formatted bevore install | 17:19 |
Kilos | ok so you lose nothing if you unplug 3 of them and then install on one only | 17:19 |
Kilos | take the newest one as you test drive | 17:20 |
Kilos | you might have some bad sectors there | 17:20 |
Kilos | and its not copying packages properly there | 17:20 |
Kilos | or we can run a command to check for bad sectors | 17:21 |
Kilos | takes long though | 17:21 |
Kilos | always remember linux is much more particular when it comes to drive reliability | 17:22 |
Kilos | drives that accept windows fine often give probs with linux | 17:22 |
hannolom | Nope - the Scuzzy drive does its own detection and a warining light come on if there is a problem. | 17:23 |
hannolom | Also tried it on another server as well - same message | 17:23 |
Kilos | tried what? | 17:23 |
hannolom | The install - and got the same broken packages messages. - Same server and drive layout | 17:24 |
Kilos | ah | 17:26 |
Kilos | maybe bad iso download | 17:26 |
hannolom | mmmmm - not impossable | 17:26 |
hannolom | brb - supper | 17:27 |
Kilos | havent you got any usb stuff you can plug into the server then use the usb stick to install with | 17:27 |
Kilos | ok i go eat too | 17:27 |
hannolom | Yes but the gen 3 does not boot from USB ;( | 17:35 |
Kilos | in the bios or because of no usb adapter | 17:36 |
Kilos | like my first p3 didnt have usb ports but i could plug in a usb card and then work from there | 17:42 |
Kilos | but that didnt have the usb boot in the bios | 17:43 |
hannolom | Same - here - and the server use a PCI-X slot normal PCI or PIC-E does not fit | 17:45 |
Kilos | there is another thing we can try | 17:46 |
Kilos | take the drive from the other server with ubuntu with a gui and put it in this machine' | 17:46 |
hannolom | been googling and trying "sudo aptitude -f" now | 17:46 |
Kilos | tell what it says | 17:47 |
hannolom | Sccsi does not wotk that way - GUI working on G4 with raid 6i controller and G3 with a 5i | 17:48 |
hannolom | will do | 17:48 |
hannolom | stil running | 17:48 |
Kilos | i have a scsi drive here ill get cables for one day to check | 17:49 |
Kilos | they expensive arent they | 17:49 |
hannolom | Yes - but you can rather look at SSD - even faster and cheaper | 17:51 |
theblazehen | hi | 17:52 |
theblazehen | hannolom: you get it sorted out? | 17:52 |
Kilos | no man im old and min income so i save long to get things | 17:52 |
Kilos | hi theblazehen | 17:52 |
hannolom | made progress but not there yet | 17:52 |
Kilos | im thinking he has a bad install dvd there or bad sectors on the drive | 17:53 |
Kilos | is aptitude -f finding and fixing things hannolom ? | 17:53 |
theblazehen | hannolom: Still no display? | 17:53 |
hannolom | dont know - still running | 17:54 |
Kilos | he keeps getting an error broken packages | 17:54 |
Kilos | but if aptitude is at least working thats good | 17:56 |
Kilos | hannolom: next time it gives the broken packages error see what packages they are if you can | 17:57 |
hannolom | cool | 17:59 |
hannolom | University of google says that interchanging the apt-get and aptitude commands are one of the leading causes of broken packages | 18:00 |
hannolom | something I did do! | 18:00 |
Kilos | i do it often as well but havent had them break packages | 18:01 |
hannolom | mmmmm - still no luck - perhaps I sould try 14.01 | 18:05 |
Kilos | do sudo aptitude update | 18:06 |
Kilos | then sudo aptitude upgrade | 18:06 |
Kilos | then sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop | 18:06 |
Kilos | what are you using to burn you dvds? | 18:07 |
hannolom | infrarecorder | 18:09 |
Kilos | on windows? | 18:10 |
hannolom | yes | 18:10 |
Kilos | download the iso to the working server then install k3b and use that to burn the dvd | 18:11 |
Kilos | windows breaks everything | 18:11 |
hannolom | mmmm-I'll give that a go\ | 18:12 |
Kilos | in the meantime you can check the drive for bad blocks | 18:12 |
Kilos | let me find the command | 18:12 |
Kilos | sudo badblocks -v /dev/sda1 > bad-blocks-result | 18:13 |
Kilos | that will tell you if there are faulty sectors | 18:13 |
Kilos | and also when you boot from the dvd there should be an option to check it | 18:18 |
hannolom | Done the one from the boot DVD couple of days ago - no errors - | 18:23 |
Kilos | sjoe | 18:24 |
Kilos | storm coming. if i disappear power went | 18:54 |
Kilos | hannolom: are you winning? | 19:16 |
