Hi guys, I recently set up a software raid5 on ubuntu server using mdadm. I have three 1tb drives raided up, sdb1 sdc1 and sdd1. This is a recent upgrade to my fileserver and while I was migrating my...

Hi all, I have a powermac powered ubuntu file server at home which has been a dream to me for at least 9 months. I use it to store and serve music and video and basically anything we need to share in...

Ok, was a setting in general settings. Auto detect screen output was unchecked and it was set to output 640*480. I'm stupid but I worked it out.

Hi guys, just got an eee 901 and installed Xubuntu with the eee kernel and it works perfectly, not a problem, all great. Got compiz working too, again it *worked* perfectly. But now I've rebooted and...

I just set it to defaults, I think I set something like: /dev/sda1 /dump defaults 0 0 dunno what that sets but I found it in some how to. I'm not entirely a linux guru or anything, but I wouldn't...

Hi, I just got a new ubuntu file server up running ubuntu server edition in an old G4 powermac. I have some old tnt2 or something video card in there but it has an old noisy fan that annoys me. This...

SOLVED! So, I popped the battery and tested it, seems fine plenty of juice - that wasn't the problem.

So I found some threads where users had trouble with yaboot when doing a manual partition...

Yep, done the pram thing. One question though, what if the cmos battery is dead? This mac sat around for a long time before I set this server up... tried, that is. Does the pram/nvram rely on the...

Ok, sorry I'm not gonna write it all out but the drives in the blkid output match exactly what is in /etc/fstab.

Ok: a development! In open firmware I have instructed the mac to boot yaboot specifically with this command: boot hd:0,\yaboot it then reports the following:

DISK-LABEL: LOAD (noninterposed) not...

Oh, and I can boot into open firmware by holding cmd+opt+O+F, which according to thie website: http://homepages.gold.ac.uk/suzanne/startup.html indicates it is a 'ne world' mac.

I am trying to use...

The mac is one of these: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/stats/powermac_g4_450.html A power mac G4 450. The drive is only 120 gig and I have used the entire drive for the ubuntu...

Forgot to mention I've tried two different hard drives so I don't think its a problem with the drive. Yaboot boots fine off the cd so I don't think theres a problem with that either. The hard drive...

Hi guys, I have an old G4 which I've set up as a little home file server since the P3 I had for this seems to have died. I put ubuntu on it but now it won't boot up, I just get the little flashing...
