Re: Guide: Installing Ubuntu 12.04 (desktop + server use)

Sorry for the resurrection of this old thread, but I thought it was worth noting that if you get a black screen after hitting "Install Ubuntu server" it is fixed by changing 'vga=788' to 'vga=normal' (I also removed 'quiet' from the parameters, don't know if that did anything). I fought with this pr...

Re: Trouble booting after hard reboot

I found this thread: http://www.fit-pc2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=769

Re: Trouble booting after hard reboot

I guess you're right about where the problem lies since I can boot my laptop from both the USB drive and the internal hitachi drive (through a SATA to USB bridge). I don't have a USB optical drive so the only thing I can do is booting my laptop from a live cd and maybe reinstall grub on the internal...

Re: Trouble booting after hard reboot

Thank you for your reply. Well my keyboard worked fine when hitting esc and changing the kernel bootline so the USB port is not dead :) Also my first post should tell you that I was able to get into BIOS (in order to change the boot sequence to boot from USB or internal drive) :).

Trouble booting after hard reboot

Hi there! Well I'm having a bit of trouble with my fit-pc2 with ubuntu 8.04. It all started one day a few weeks ago when I couldn't ssh into my box, it said access denied which meant that my password was wrong. I'm kinda sure it isn't/wasn't since I have used it many times before to login through ss...
