[12:40] haha [12:41] Maaz: thanks [12:41] charl: Sure [16:21] hmm... [16:24] sjoe [16:25] Hi All - i'm back [16:26] I figured out what was wrong in my servers - part of anyways [16:50] hi hannolom [16:50] what did you find [17:04] hi - sorry i'm back [17:05] 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] I edit the grub to 800 X 600 or higher and presto!\ [17:06] cool [17:06] I can however still not get the GUI (ubuntu-desktop) to work [17:06] from the server you installed [17:07] do you see the command prompt [17:07] wanting login and password [17:08] have you run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [17:09] done that [17:09] are you doing it now from the server keyboard itself? [17:10] or ssh still [17:11] nope - directly on the server itself [17:11] good [17:11] run [17:11] sudo apt-get install aptitude synaptic ubuntu-desktop [17:13] Broken packages error [17:13] again [17:13] from what mirror [17:13] and this time I am on ZA.ubuntu [17:13] wow [17:14] sudo dpkg --configure -a [17:14] how good is the drive you have in there [17:15] done - just gave me a new line [17:15] sudo apt-get install -f [17:15] raid 5 - 4 drives 140 GB each [17:15] in that one server [17:16] i mean what drive are you installing on [17:16] done - 0 upgraded, 0 new insatlled, 0 removed and 0 not upgraded [17:17] i dont know raid stuff, but what is on those 4 drives [17:18] all 4 drives form one expanded drive - controlled by the HP raid controler. 450 GB in total [17:18] did that command fix anything [17:18] ok but there is nothing on them at the moment right, only this install? [17:18] yes [17:19] formatted bevore install [17:19] ok so you lose nothing if you unplug 3 of them and then install on one only [17:20] take the newest one as you test drive [17:20] you might have some bad sectors there [17:20] and its not copying packages properly there [17:21] or we can run a command to check for bad sectors [17:21] takes long though [17:22] always remember linux is much more particular when it comes to drive reliability [17:22] drives that accept windows fine often give probs with linux [17:23] Nope - the Scuzzy drive does its own detection and a warining light come on if there is a problem. [17:23] Also tried it on another server as well - same message [17:23] tried what? [17:24] The install - and got the same broken packages messages. - Same server and drive layout [17:26] ah [17:26] maybe bad iso download [17:26] mmmmm - not impossable [17:27] brb - supper [17:27] havent you got any usb stuff you can plug into the server then use the usb stick to install with [17:27] ok i go eat too [17:35] Yes but the gen 3 does not boot from USB ;( [17:36] in the bios or because of no usb adapter [17:42] like my first p3 didnt have usb ports but i could plug in a usb card and then work from there [17:43] but that didnt have the usb boot in the bios [17:45] Same - here - and the server use a PCI-X slot normal PCI or PIC-E does not fit [17:46] there is another thing we can try [17:46] take the drive from the other server with ubuntu with a gui and put it in this machine' [17:46] been googling and trying "sudo aptitude -f" now [17:47] tell what it says [17:48] Sccsi does not wotk that way - GUI working on G4 with raid 6i controller and G3 with a 5i [17:48] will do [17:48] stil running [17:49] i have a scsi drive here ill get cables for one day to check [17:49] they expensive arent they [17:51] Yes - but you can rather look at SSD - even faster and cheaper [17:52] hi [17:52] hannolom: you get it sorted out? [17:52] no man im old and min income so i save long to get things [17:52] hi theblazehen [17:52] made progress but not there yet [17:53] im thinking he has a bad install dvd there or bad sectors on the drive [17:53] is aptitude -f finding and fixing things hannolom ? [17:53] hannolom: Still no display? [17:54] dont know - still running [17:54] he keeps getting an error broken packages [17:56] but if aptitude is at least working thats good [17:57] hannolom: next time it gives the broken packages error see what packages they are if you can [17:59] cool [18:00] University of google says that interchanging the apt-get and aptitude commands are one of the leading causes of broken packages [18:00] something I did do! [18:01] i do it often as well but havent had them break packages [18:05] mmmmm - still no luck - perhaps I sould try 14.01 [18:06] do sudo aptitude update [18:06] then sudo aptitude upgrade [18:06] then sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [18:07] what are you using to burn you dvds? [18:09] infrarecorder [18:10] on windows? [18:10] yes [18:11] download the iso to the working server then install k3b and use that to burn the dvd [18:11] windows breaks everything [18:12] mmmm-I'll give that a go\ [18:12] in the meantime you can check the drive for bad blocks [18:12] let me find the command [18:13] sudo badblocks -v /dev/sda1 > bad-blocks-result [18:13] that will tell you if there are faulty sectors [18:18] and also when you boot from the dvd there should be an option to check it [18:23] Done the one from the boot DVD couple of days ago - no errors - [18:24] sjoe [18:54] storm coming. if i disappear power went [19:16] hannolom: are you winning?
