Thread: Boot Problems - machine boots but no login option


i'm *fairly* new linux , new ubuntu. set server run dedicated list server (postfix/mailman), , ease of use, installed gui.

system running mission-critical list server major state-wide organization. today had power failure. upon rebooting, got "running in low graphics mode" error. did little research , able boot in command line mode.

reinstalled ubuntu-desktop, didn't help. i've tried ctl-alt-f7 switch terminal mode. worked, , tried configure grub text mode, apparently didn't correctly. now, when try ctl-alt-f7 error screen, system continues , display stops after

starting web server apache2
checking battery state...

system , running; mailman working properly, web interface working, can't prompt log in, either text or gui.

way can system boot install disk , files using repair mode.

need able log in server.

please.

i not know servers. after power failure on type of system, may have run filechecks. linux e2fsck or fsck.

#from livecd unmounted,swap off if necessary, change example shown partition sdb1 partition(s)
#e2fsck used check ext2/ext3/ext4 family of file systems. -p trys fixes response not required
sudo e2fsck -c0 -p -f -v /dev/sdb1
#if errors: -y auto answers yes fixes needing response see man e2fsck
sudo e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sdb1


if server mission critical should have battery back-up can shut down in normal fashion , not have file system issues due sudden shutdown.

hello! i'm trying setup software raid on server, fail @ first step: code: root@sandnabba:/root# mdadm -c /dev/md0 -c512 -l5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: no raid-devices specified. what doing wrong!? are sure -c equivalent --create? also, think need space after -c , -l options, value shouldn't command, or should have = between. @ man pages mdadm , double check spelling.

(1) firstly, download , install gtkmm windows using wine. (you have if have cross compiled app windows) https://live.gnome.org/gtkmm/mswindows (2) run these commands create proper directory structure.
