| eggs | Hi. Long time Linux user, first time Ubuntu install. I get to "Ubuntu studio installation options" and leave defaults (all) checked and click 'continue', and it's been spinning for >30m. Note I have 4 hard drives in the box, and one of them has a bad partition. Is there a way to see what's happening under the hood? Is there a text-only install mode that would help me diagnose the problem here? | 00:39 |
|---|---|---|
| eggs | fwiw I'm installing from DVD. I'll let it spin and see if it eventually times out on whatever it's trying to do. | 00:43 |
| eggs | It did eventually unwedge itself. The next screen says it does not detect any other operating system (although Fedora is installed on /dev/sda...is this a snub? ;)). I am concerned that if I choose the default option (to blow away previous OS) it will wipe all the disks in the box. If I select that, will it prompt me to leave some disks alone? | 01:09 |
| eggs | I'd rather go with the default partitioning scheme, but limit it to /dev/sda. Maybe I should just unhook the other disks temporarily? | 01:10 |
| eggs | silly me, it asked me which disk to use. it's all good. | 01:40 |
| OvenWerks | eggs: I always choose "Something Else". | 03:53 |
| OvenWerks | eggs: I can mostly monitor an install with less /var/log/syslog it doesn't get everything, but does show trouble. Hitting "F" in less monitors messages as they are sent to the log rather than just reading what is already there. > goes to the end of the file. | 03:55 |
