Hi, all. I have an old Dell Poweredge 650 which, on one of its drives, is quite happily running CentOS 6.4 Gnome Desktop.
I installed Ubuntu 12.04 Server on its second drive successfully but when it rebooted it told me that the Screen was out of range & the refresh rate needed to be 60Hz & 1280 x 1040. I found this puzzling to say the least that a headless server with no GUI whatsoever is complaining about screen resolution. I had to scrap the install because ufw was automatically enabled & I couldn't ssh in to get a terminal running from another machine on the network. I subsequently installed Debian 6.0.7 with a full Gnome Desktop to see if that'd be OK & it works fine but it's not ideal for what I'm after. Has anybody else seen anything like this? I realise it's complaining about the antiquated ATI Rage video card but it really shouldn't be a problem on a headless server. Any help appreciated. Cheers, Phil... -- currently (ab)using CentOS 5.9 & 6.4, Debian Squeeze & Wheezy, Fedora Beefy, Spherical & That Damn Cat, Lubuntu 12.10, OS X Snow Leopard & Ubuntu Precise, Quantal & Raring GnuPG Key : http://www.horse-latitudes.co.uk/publickey.asc -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
