I actually ended up using another SMTP mail sender. It worked pretty well. If I can find the link again I will post it here. Postfix seemed to be harder to set up. I have already gotten emails on...

aha! I ran
sudo grub-install /dev/sda and then ran
sudo update-grub and it gave me the newer kernel versions at boot. Now I just have to go through and delete the old kernel versions and test out...

No I get that. I did that and it is only displaying the 3.5 versions as stated previously. Seriously, I am following your steps to a T and getting nowhere....What else can I do? Can i purge the...

This is what I get when I run sudo update-grub

Ran it, found the 3.13 versions but still only have the 3.5 versions available at boot....

My problem is that it is only displaying 3.5.0-27 and 3.5.0-17 as options to boot. I am not seeing the latest versions of my kernel. in Grub.

Gotcha - commands were from su so no sudo necessary. Ran sudo apt-get update multiple times during the process, I was just trying not to write an entire wall here for something that may have been a...

Ok so maybe a little more information. In looking in my /usr/src/ directory I do not have (what I am assuming to be) the correct linux headers. I have 3.13.0-27 and 3.13.0-27-generic - the same...

I seem to be having a problem in getting virtual machines to work. I have actually never ran virtual box at home so maybe I am missing something obvious. I am continuously getting errors when trying...

I'm 29 and use Ubuntu for running my NAS. I found its easy to use and FREE! Forget paying for windows services that are way to expensive and insecure. I haven't really been in the Ubuntu game for...

I have used the same config as listed in the link provided by Charles, changed the email multiple times, and restarted smartmontools without it ever throwing an error in the syslogs. What am I doing...

Anyone here setup postfix successfully? I have a dyndns account, but this is far from my field. From my understanding you have to have postfix setup prior to smartmontools. Is this true? Really would...

Never mind the /dec/hdc comment. I don't have any IDE drives. So I suppose I should simply copy the lines for sda and use every drive path required for testing. I was going to use DEVICESCAN but I...

So let me ask you this. In these lines what is /dev/hd(a,b,c) ? Should that be replaced with my drives? Also where is says admin@example.com I can just input my personal email address right? Started...

Well that makes sense. I started trying it but it would appear that I have to test each drive individually? What about the drives that I have in a mdadm raid? I was under the assumption that it...

Thanks for the link Charles. I will test this out and see how it works. Sorry for the late reply, it's been a busy week.

Can anyone help me out with setting up postfix for failing drives emails? I have read through the tutorials, however I seem to always get stuck on the email servers to use. So two things here. 1) can...

Wow...

Honestly sometimes I'm surprised I can find the toilet in the bathroom <---funny analogy I know but really I've been stupid for the last two days. Remember that I said I renamed it the same...

That seemed to work just fine. I just mapped the top level folder (/500gb and /storage respectivly) and it seemed to work. I will just have to try after restart and see if it works.

Right but I want it to be accessible via the desktop Computer folder under Network. I do have a router, but I don't think I am using DNS. I am not the greatest at routing. As I said before though...

Yes I did. This is the output of my entire smb.conf file

Darkod you are a genius. I was able to run to the address, however for some reason I cannot view it as a place on my network. Does that make sense? So if you look at the attached jpg it shows how my...

Well I do know that I can access the IP inside my LAN. However maybe what I am doing it not a true test? I can remote in from my phone to do anything with a VNC viewer type application. So I know...

So how do i essentially "start over" here? How can I uninstall all my samba data and start fresh? Or is that even possible? Could I delete all the definitions? Or would a reboot automatically build...

Ok so I just double checked and there is nothing being shared, with the exception of my /home/public folder. I still have all those share definitions and some even say version #2. Does that make...
