Internet Connection Sharing - Support Question

[BkS]

Well it's the 32-bit ISO on the disc, so kinda confused.

If that's where the missing RAM is going then that's alright. Just hope it hasn't grown legs and walked. Lol.

Have you tried removing that extra memory stick ? .. which doesn't seem right to me, I can't see the mobo allocating 1GB+ to the GFX card on an older system

Have you tried the boot options?
For ATI you could add to boot options:

radeon.modeset=0

As for the missing ram it appears that the motherboard D102GGC2 can only support up to 2 GiB

          slot: System board or motherboard
          size: 2GiB
          capacity: 2GiB

The video appears to be on board Integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200 with
up to 128 MB of shared video memory

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

SeZo's right .. the MoBo only supports 2GB RAM (well spotted BTW)

See the spec sheet:
http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15112/eng/D102GGC2_TechProdSpec.pdf

So ditch the other stick.

and as he says, try adding radeon.modeset=0 as a kernel boot parameter.

[BkS]

Kernel boot parameter didn't work. Think I'll just put 11.10 server on it instead and then upgrade once it's offically released.

In other news: I think when my electricity cut-out this morning it's damaged the MoBo. It won't boot up into the hard-drives, but even worse and pretty worryingly, it won't boot up into the BIOS. :/

Just hangs at the Mobo bootloader screen.

So I've pulled out the PSU and changed the cables. Put in another PSU and still the same problem. Also took out the extra stick. Nothing.

Gonna leave it off for a while and try again later.

This has been nothing but trouble.

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

If you disconnect EVERYTHING from the MoBo .. hard drives/floppy drives/Optical dirves/sound card/modem/etc. .. and leave just what's necessary to access the BIOS .. gfx card/mobo/keyboard .. can you access the BIOS now ?

If not .. with everything that's unnecessary still disconnected, try a BIOS reset.

[BkS]

Ok I think I've found what's up. It looks as if that because the hardware the NAS runs on, Ubuntu 12.04 looks as if it doesn't support it anymore. So I think I'll probably be best downloading the Lucid Server LTS as it will probably work.

The 12.04 Beta 2 disc is fine, I checked it with my lappy and my brothers and both said "Disc is valid". 

Mobo seems fine as well, just doesn't like the disc at times.

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

Could it possibly be the CD/DVD drive in the NAS box .. but yeh you try 10.04 and an upgrade.

Can you answer me a question .. is "quiet splash" still part of the server edition kernel boot line ?

And if so, have you removed it to try get a cue as to what's going on ?

Is there an alternate install disk for the server edition ?

[BkS]

Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Server i.e. 10.04 Server installed perfectly fine.

Although I have one problem. The network.

I accidentally selected manually configure later, and now I can't get updates from the repos.

I've tried setting it manually following the guide on the Ubuntu Wiki -

https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html

i'm on a local-loopback according to ifconfig


I also noticed that lshw shows that the network is disabled, but whenever I try to enable it manually using sudo ifup eth0 I get the output:

Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0


Hardware list;

Code: [Select]

sudo lshw -C network

No quite-splash isn't in the parameter anymore, instead it's just -- quite

What are the contents of:

Code: [Select]

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

and

Code: [Select]

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

What static IP do you want to give it, and what is your routers IP ?

[BkS]

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Nothing in /etc/resolv.conf

I'd like the NAS to be 192.168.0.8 and the routers local IP is 192.168.0.1

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

Make /etc/network/interfaces read:-

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# Added by BkS
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.8
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

And make /etc/resolv.conf read:-

# Added by BkS
nameserver 192.168.0.1

Now try running:

Code: [Select]

sudo ifup eth0

[BkS]

Sweet, network is working now. How do I install webmin via CLI and setup.

Oh and for some reason my lappy isn't being seen by the brothers lappy running Oneiric or the  NAS.   

Workgroup is called WORKGROUP so kinda confused. I have folders share... maybe I just need to restart samba on my lappy.

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

Install Webmin from the command line ..

Code: [Select]

mkdir ~/webmin
cd ~/webmin
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/webadmin/files/webmin/1.580/webmin_1.580_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.580_all.deb

[SeZo]

Or you could try:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install webmin

It should be in the repos. (it is for Lucid)
