[00:39] <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?
[00:43] <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.
[01:09] <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?
[01:10] <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?
[01:40] <eggs> silly me, it asked me which disk to use. it's all good.
[03:53] <OvenWerks> eggs: I always choose "Something Else".
[03:55] <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.
