If you can't ssh in (ssh was running: I got to the password stage) & you have a black screen on the target machine, you can't disable the firewall short of hooking up a serial port of which I no longer have the necessary wherewithal to do. So you're stuck. By the way, try to keep your replies addressed to the list & not the author so that others may read them too. Also, top posting is frowned upon on virtually every well mannered mailing list but, to everybody, please let's not start a flame war about it ;-) Cheers, Phil... > On Wed, May 8, 2013 at 3:57 PM, Phil Dobbin <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > 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.
