I got through the configuration and LVM. I chose the OpenSSH and my power went out during it. I know turn it back on and follow through and its stuck on 39% during the starting up the partition part.

I don't know what to do

  • It's a little complicated since the Ubuntu Server media is installation only (no live mode), so you could get a GNU/Linux live media and do the work from there. If you have a display and can run a GUI you can do it very easily with GParted, but if it is CLI only then you can do it with parted/fdisk/cfdisk (parted is the easiest). Jan 13, 2016 at 23:59

The easiest, not necessarily the quickest way is to sinply start over with a fresh install. Also, reformat the hard drive, a quuck format will do, this will help problems from occurring later.

BUT FIRST, BEFORE DOING ANYTHING at all, get a good USP and connect both the monitor and the server itself to it. This way you can gracefully shut down the server when another power outsge occurs.

  • My USP just arrived right now. I will do that. How can I simply start over? It is an install disc and new server out of the box.
