Does Ubuntu register the resources it is using into a log? I need to see the load and RAM usage of a server at a specific time (approximately at 5 AM).
We recently had a power outage in the office and one of our ubuntu servers isn´t booting up properly. Here is what I have deduced so far:
- The motherboard seems fine and it allows me to enter the BIOS / UEFI settings.
- The only gurantee I have regarding the power source is that, again, it lets me see the UEFI settings and...
- I can boot a live USB with Ubuntu Desktop in order to trouble shoot a little more
- The SSD still has all the information intact. I have connected it to an ubuntu desktop machine and saw that it is all still there...
- When I simply restart the machine I´m faced with a dark screen (The pixels are on, but they´re black)
Where do you reckon I should look into next? I´m thinking it could be an issue with GRUB, but I´m not too sure.
EDIT: Ended up being the motherboard. For some reason there was a setting that would only allow for Windows boot manager to show. As soon as I deselected the option I was able to boot ubuntu with relative normality. I know this ended up not being ubuntu's fault but I'm just going to leave this up as it is since it might be helpful for someone else in the future.
I have recently installed four computers with Linux. Each one has different monitors, refresh rates, versions, etc. The only constant in all four is the processor with the integrated graphics. Here is a screenshot that I was able to take.
AMD doesn't have official drivers for Linux for this particular processor and I'm not entirely sure about where to go from here. Has anybody else had issues with this?
I have been conducting tests, and I see there is no issue at all with a fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04.3. I still have a little more testing to do, but I reckon it will start giving me issues as soon as I update my drivers in 18.04.
It turns out I was exactly right. It seems like there are issues with the current kernel with this specific AMD processor. We just ordered a few Nvidia graphics cards because we need to run programs that require specific kernels and we can't afford to waste any more time on this issue. If anybody needs a quick fix and doesn't necessarily care about which kernel version they are using, I found that version 5.0.0-23 works without any issues.
