Hi Gardenair
The main thing is where your users will keep all their files, what kind of shared areas they need and so on. My suggestion would be to make it as simple as you can: perhaps just...
Hi All
It has been a long time since I've done any integration with Windows, and never Active Directory, but now a client requirement is approximately like this:
* Client is approx 50 users on...
... some further reading made me think:
* Telnet debugging is the best place to start, as described http://munin-monitoring.org/wiki/MuninTroubleshooting
* If it's a caching problem, you might...
Hi Beach Samurai
I'm afraid I have but scant experience with Munin, but I understand it caches the graphs, and if the data is unavailable when the graphs are made you can end up with 'Not A...
Hi bnebb42
You'll have to find out why the USB device isn't being noticed before addressing the mounting issue.
When you put the USB device in, you should see entries in syslog. A server...
Hi Herry
You'll have to be quite clear what you want them to be able to do, but certainly vsftp is extremely flexible and offers possibilities beyond the basic Unix file permissions.
For...
Hi Dalsim
It's just a guess, but perhaps your network interface is faulty and not being auto-detected, and the first thing which really complains is Samba. My suggestion would be to try to bring...
Hi Shane30
I quite agree with Fu about what's likely to be blocked in your clients' environments -- certainly lots of networks I've made would prevent these things -- and abusing well-known port...
Hi Shane30
You might consider using OpenVPN to build a virtual private network: users' laptops connect and build an encrypted tunnel, either with passwords or certificates. You expose only one...
Hi Vaindil
Just some guesses, but if you're stumped other people's guesses can be helpful!
The pressing 's' sounds like you're getting one of the messages from mountall, which is the program...
Hi Houstonbofh ... actually the problem that affected me recently was a different one, but the moral is the same: despite the best intentions and great efforts of developers, it's not remotely...
Hi again Lightman2
Of course it isn't supposed to be this way, but it *is* this way: even going from a given release to the next 'point' release can render your system inoperable. I had a recent...
Hi Rouvalis
| The server disk is spliced in thee partitions the first is swap the second the boot and grub and the third the main linux.
Just wondering if you're quite sure you know which...
Hi Lightman2
For my more conservative and downtime-averse clients, I recommend 'penultimate LTS', and so for example will be installing 12.04 LTS until after 16.04 LTS is released, then they'll go...
Posting my solution in case it helps anyone else.
It turns out that the system *is* in pure text mode; what's happening is the font file /etc/console-setup/Uni2-Fixed16.psf is being loaded by...
Hi Maheriano
It's just a guess as I don't know anything specific about this model of server: Many systems have a BIOS option to ignore/complain about missing keyboards, often with beep codes to...
Hi All
As part of some standardisation I"m doing, I'm trying to get Ubuntu Server 12.04.5 LTS to boot and stay in pure text mode, without the framebuffer and soft fonts.
I've achieved the GRUB...

Hi ...
Doubtless will be laughed at heartily, but you can get a very long way with scp of the password and group files, if that's all that needs to be kept in sync. On locked-down desktops, of...
Hi Psionic
I was having the same difficulties. You report that the oom-killer is still killing your process, I suggest either properly fully disabling the oom-killer or lowering the overcommit...
Hi NilPointer
Running VPN server is a decent way to do this.
The main trick is if you want to only accept incoming packets from your known friends and completely reject everything else. One...
Hello
Anybody got a simple, definitive, procedure for using CD-ROM images to add packages when there's no network connection or CD-ROM drive?
Situation: fresh 12.04.1 server installation with...
Hi
If you're new to this, my recommendation would be to use the most ordinary configuration first, and only become more exotic if you find it doesn't work out how you need it.
In this...
