I'm going to bump this thread, surely after 100+ views someone must have an opinion whether this is a hardware or software issue..?

Great advise grahammechanical. Another alternative might be if your older video card continues to have compatibility issues with 15.04 drivers, or lack of, you might consider installing the "pure"...

Update: I've got the ssh server running on the LAN in what I'd assume is a very rudimentary configuration. I pretty much understand the contents of:/etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config,...

Thanks for that, I'll report back with any updates. They may be helpful to others.:KS

Thanks for the response. Yes I've read that .doc, thanks. So far I'm only able to login to the openssh server if I sudo /usr/sbin/sshd to start the server, by simply issuing ssh my.server.ip.address,...
