Yes, that's it. Thanks.

This seems like a very generic question, but all my searches yield something about fixing something that is broken - I don't think that is the case, I just need the basics here. There must be a...

I have a Ratel running 14.04, and until recently I had been using external speakers. The speakers seem to have died - they suddenly got a loud, low hum that appears to be the result of something...

Thanks, folks. And thanks to those who read the post and gave it some thought, even if you didn't post. I really appreciate the help.

Thanks very much - some great stuff there. Yes, I am using 14.04, and while I still can't get it to take directives from the files and links I created in sites-available and sites-enabled, but it...

Follow-up to my own post - When I look at these files with cat or more, and then do an ls -alurt on the directory, there is no update to the access time. Likewise, when I restart or reload the...

First off, I should point out that I use this machine mostly as a desktop machine and configured it that way when I installed Ubuntu 14.04. But I want to run an apache server, which I have done...

OK, well, after about a dozen attempts I got a rescue kernel running and got my backup directory in place. What didn't work: two fedora systems, an Ubuntu 12.04, and the Ubuntu rescue remix 12.04 ...

I wiped out /etc, and then lost the session. So I need to boot from some sort of rescue media.

A friend gave me two things - a thumb drive, and a CD, both with a fedora live CD on them. Neither...

Thanks guys. Since I already had audacity installed, I used that, but I also appreciate the SoX response.

Thanks again.

Hello,

The thread title pretty much says it all, I want the default volume on this mp3 to be lower. I downloaded audacity and tried exporting the file after loading it and lowering the output...

After praising apache in another thread, now I can't get virtual hosting to work.

I followed the (debian) instructions, and created two files in /etc/apache2/sites-available. Let's call them...

Thanks, I'm going to stick with Apache for now simply because it is pretty easy to get help when something breaks. I'm ashamed of myself, I sound like someone desperately clinging to Microsoft, but...

Thanks, that's a good article, and apparently quite up-to-date. I'm not ready to mark the thread SOLVED yet, but it was helpful.

Hello,

I want to add Apache, postfix, dovecot, and openssl to my new installation. The last few versions of Ubuntu, I have had a lot of trouble doing this, with lots of false starts and...

Not a lot of interest here - do I have to report more log messages?

Question for others who have a mail server at home in the U.S: Is it possible that my line provider or ISP is locking me out of...

Hello,

I recently upgraded to a new computer with Ubuntu 13.10. I have long run a web an mail server on my computer, using my own domain. The web server is working, and the domain name is...

OK, I went through everything again, from the beginning. As recommended, the computer that runs the servers and has a wired connection to the router now has 192.168.1.2 as a static address.

My...

tcpdump doesn't return anything on port 80, but I'll have to try that with someone hitting it from the outside. But there is nothing - nothing- on port 80 in any logfile unless I access it from the...

Yes, the router plugs into the modem, and that is all that plugs into the modem. All the servers run on one computer, the new one running Ubuntu 13.10. That computer is a direct connection to the...

Hi,

Recently I got a new computer and upgraded to 13.10 - my old computer didn't have a video card that was good enough for Ubuntu 13, so I bought a new System76 with 13.10 preinstalled.
...

Thanks, that's helpful. My router seems to have magically acquired an invisible firewall. I have port forwarding on, and everything else, but apache and ssh requests stop there. On my LAN at home,...

Hi,

I hope this is the right forum. For the most part networking works fine - I'm posting this from the computer in question. The problem comes up when I try to use the computer as a mail or web...

Thanks, Ian. I think it's also worth pointing out that you can go into recovery mode by pressing the reset button just as the first Ubuntu screen comes up. Don't know why the shift key didn't work,...

Mostly this thread is just a warning to others, but if anyone has any ideas about how to get out of this, I would be happy to hear them.

The problem I am havng now that seems very strange is that...
