Kilossjoe16:24
hannolomHi All - i'm back16:25
hannolomI figured out what was wrong in my servers - part of anyways16:26
Kiloshi hannolom 16:50
Kiloswhat did you find16:50
hannolomhi - sorry i'm back17:04
hannolomThe 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
hannolomI edit the grub to 800 X 600 or higher and presto!\17:05
Kiloscool17:06
hannolomI can however still not get the GUI (ubuntu-desktop) to work17:06
Kilosfrom the server you installed17:06
Kilosdo you see the command prompt17:07
Kiloswanting login and password17:07
Kiloshave you run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade17:08
hannolomdone that17:09
Kilosare you doing it now from the server keyboard itself?17:09
Kilosor ssh still17:10
hannolomnope - directly on the server itself17:11
Kilosgood17:11
Kilosrun17:11
Kilossudo apt-get install aptitude synaptic ubuntu-desktop17:11
hannolomBroken packages error17:13
Kilosagain17:13
Kilosfrom what mirror17:13
hannolomand this time I am on ZA.ubuntu17:13
Kiloswow17:13
Kilossudo dpkg --configure -a17:14
Kiloshow good is the drive you have in there17:14
hannolomdone - just gave me a new line17:15
Kilossudo apt-get install -f17:15
hannolomraid 5 - 4 drives 140 GB each17:15
Kilosin that one server17:15
Kilosi mean what drive are you installing on17:16
hannolomdone - 0 upgraded, 0 new insatlled, 0 removed and 0 not upgraded17:16
Kilosi dont know raid stuff,  but what is on those 4 drives17:17
hannolomall 4 drives form one expanded drive - controlled by the HP raid controler. 450 GB in total17:18
Kilosdid that command fix anything17:18
Kilosok but there is nothing on them at the moment right, only this install?17:18
hannolomyes17:18
hannolomformatted bevore install17:19
Kilosok so you lose nothing if you unplug 3 of them and then install on one only17:19
Kilostake the newest one as you test drive17:20
Kilosyou might have some bad sectors there17:20
Kilosand its not copying packages properly there17:20
Kilosor we can run a command to check for bad sectors17:21
Kilostakes long though17:21
Kilosalways remember linux is much more particular when it comes to drive reliability17:22
Kilosdrives that accept windows fine often give probs with linux17:22
hannolomNope - the Scuzzy drive does its own detection and a warining light come on if there is a problem.17:23
hannolomAlso tried it on another server as well - same message17:23
Kilostried what?17:23
hannolomThe install - and got the same broken packages messages. - Same server and drive layout17:24
Kilosah 17:26
Kilosmaybe bad iso download17:26
hannolommmmmm - not impossable17:26
hannolombrb - supper17:27
Kiloshavent you got any usb stuff you can plug into the server then use the usb stick to install with17:27
Kilosok i go eat too17:27
hannolomYes but the gen 3 does not boot from USB ;(17:35
Kilosin the bios or because of no usb adapter17:36
Kiloslike my first p3 didnt have usb ports but i could plug in a usb card and then work from there17:42
Kilosbut that didnt have the usb boot in the bios17:43
hannolomSame - here - and the server use a PCI-X slot normal PCI or PIC-E does not fit17:45
Kilosthere is another thing we can try17:46
Kilostake the drive from the other server with ubuntu with a gui and put it in this machine'17:46
hannolombeen googling and trying "sudo aptitude -f" now17:46
Kilostell what it says17:47
hannolomSccsi does not wotk that way - GUI working on G4 with raid 6i controller and G3 with a 5i17:48
hannolomwill do17:48
hannolomstil running17:48
Kilosi have a scsi drive here ill get cables for one day to check17:49
Kilosthey expensive arent they17:49
hannolomYes - but you can rather look at SSD - even faster and cheaper17:51
theblazehenhi17:52
theblazehenhannolom: you get it sorted out?17:52
Kilosno man im old and min income so i save long to get things17:52
Kiloshi theblazehen 17:52
hannolommade progress but not there yet17:52
Kilosim thinking he has a bad install dvd there or bad sectors on the drive17:53
Kilosis aptitude -f finding and fixing things hannolom ?17:53
theblazehenhannolom: Still no display?17:53
hannolomdont know - still running17:54
Kiloshe keeps getting an error broken packages17:54
Kilosbut if aptitude is at least working thats good17:56
Kiloshannolom: next time it gives the broken packages error see what packages they are if you can17:57
hannolomcool17:59
hannolomUniversity of google says that interchanging the apt-get and aptitude commands are one of the leading causes of broken packages18:00
hannolomsomething I did do!18:00
Kilosi do it often as well  but havent had them break packages18:01
hannolommmmmm - still no luck - perhaps I sould try 14.0118:05
Kilosdo sudo aptitude update18:06
Kilosthen sudo aptitude upgrade18:06
Kilosthen sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop18:06
Kiloswhat are you using to burn you dvds?18:07
hannolominfrarecorder18:09
Kiloson windows?18:10
hannolomyes18:10
Kilosdownload the iso to the working server then install k3b and use that to burn the dvd18:11
Kiloswindows breaks everything18:11
hannolommmmm-I'll give that a go\18:12
Kilosin the meantime you can check the drive for bad blocks18:12
Kiloslet me find the command18:12
Kilossudo badblocks -v /dev/sda1 > bad-blocks-result18:13
Kilosthat will tell you if there are faulty sectors18:13
Kilosand also when you boot from the dvd there should be an option to check it18:18
hannolomDone the one from the boot DVD couple of days ago - no errors - 18:23
Kilossjoe18:24
Kilosstorm coming. if i disappear power went18:54
Kiloshannolom: are you winning?19:16
