[16:24] <Kilos> sjoe
[16:25] <hannolom> Hi All - i'm back
[16:26] <hannolom> I figured out what was wrong in my servers - part of anyways
[16:50] <Kilos> hi hannolom 
[16:50] <Kilos> what did you find
[17:04] <hannolom> hi - sorry i'm back
[17:05] <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!\
[17:06] <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
[17:07] <Kilos> do you see the command prompt
[17:07] <Kilos> wanting login and password
[17:08] <Kilos> have you run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[17:09] <hannolom> done that
[17:09] <Kilos> are you doing it now from the server keyboard itself?
[17:10] <Kilos> or ssh still
[17:11] <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
[17:13] <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
[17:14] <Kilos> sudo dpkg --configure -a
[17:14] <Kilos> how good is the drive you have in there
[17:15] <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
[17:16] <Kilos> i mean what drive are you installing on
[17:16] <hannolom> done - 0 upgraded, 0 new insatlled, 0 removed and 0 not upgraded
[17:17] <Kilos> i dont know raid stuff,  but what is on those 4 drives
[17:18] <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
[17:19] <hannolom> formatted bevore install
[17:19] <Kilos> ok so you lose nothing if you unplug 3 of them and then install on one only
[17:20] <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
[17:21] <Kilos> or we can run a command to check for bad sectors
[17:21] <Kilos> takes long though
[17:22] <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
[17:23] <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?
[17:24] <hannolom> The install - and got the same broken packages messages. - Same server and drive layout
[17:26] <Kilos> ah 
[17:26] <Kilos> maybe bad iso download
[17:26] <hannolom> mmmmm - not impossable
[17:27] <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
[17:35] <hannolom> Yes but the gen 3 does not boot from USB ;(
[17:36] <Kilos> in the bios or because of no usb adapter
[17:42] <Kilos> like my first p3 didnt have usb ports but i could plug in a usb card and then work from there
[17:43] <Kilos> but that didnt have the usb boot in the bios
[17:45] <hannolom> Same - here - and the server use a PCI-X slot normal PCI or PIC-E does not fit
[17:46] <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
[17:47] <Kilos> tell what it says
[17:48] <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
[17:49] <Kilos> i have a scsi drive here ill get cables for one day to check
[17:49] <Kilos> they expensive arent they
[17:51] <hannolom> Yes - but you can rather look at SSD - even faster and cheaper
[17:52] <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
[17:53] <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?
[17:54] <hannolom> dont know - still running
[17:54] <Kilos> he keeps getting an error broken packages
[17:56] <Kilos> but if aptitude is at least working thats good
[17:57] <Kilos> hannolom: next time it gives the broken packages error see what packages they are if you can
[17:59] <hannolom> cool
[18:00] <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!
[18:01] <Kilos> i do it often as well  but havent had them break packages
[18:05] <hannolom> mmmmm - still no luck - perhaps I sould try 14.01
[18:06] <Kilos> do sudo aptitude update
[18:06] <Kilos> then sudo aptitude upgrade
[18:06] <Kilos> then sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[18:07] <Kilos> what are you using to burn you dvds?
[18:09] <hannolom> infrarecorder
[18:10] <Kilos> on windows?
[18:10] <hannolom> yes
[18:11] <Kilos> download the iso to the working server then install k3b and use that to burn the dvd
[18:11] <Kilos> windows breaks everything
[18:12] <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
[18:13] <Kilos> sudo badblocks -v /dev/sda1 > bad-blocks-result
[18:13] <Kilos> that will tell you if there are faulty sectors
[18:18] <Kilos> and also when you boot from the dvd there should be an option to check it
[18:23] <hannolom> Done the one from the boot DVD couple of days ago - no errors - 
[18:24] <Kilos> sjoe
[18:54] <Kilos> storm coming. if i disappear power went
[19:16] <Kilos> hannolom: are you winning?
