Just wanted to share my frustrations with pulseaudio on 18.04. I had 16.04 for 2 years and had no issues. Ever since upgrading I spent a month trying to get it to work properly. The main clue was...

Hi,

Wasn't sure where to post this one. I have a Ubuntu 20.04 install on a mini-PC attached to my TV (via HDMI) for video calling. So far I've been able to use Skype, Discord and WhatsApp on my...

Hi,

I'm using mini-DLNA to access my multimedia, but at the moment it's having to jump through some hoops that I was hoping to simplify.

Is there a way to have a DLNA (uPnP) server receive the...

I had looked in the proprietary repo, but couldn't seem to locate one for this device.



That's new to me, I'll give that a try and see how it goes.

I've found this article, and this post,...

Hi,

Info from the ubuntu (16.04) wireless info script at the bottom...

Basically the same (annoying) problem as it appears quite a lot of people are having with Broadcom devices (I just...

Okay, got this working. After a bit of fiddling around, I discovered that the alsa ucm folders for this particular device were missing from the Ubuntu install. Firmware drivers were already...

Hi,

I've been following the instructions for installing Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (kernel: 4.10.0-37) onto my old Transformer T100 (model: T100TA-DK002H) found here:...

Brilliant, thanks for the advice.

Hi,

I have a USB drive that when plugged in mounts as you would expect, and appears to be usable. I thought they'd have formatted it by default for Windows NTFS and so I figured the first thing...

Okay, got this all working in the end. The answer was the cruid option with k5start.

Hi,


How can I mount a Kerberised Samba share in such a manner that a local-only account can still navigate it, without compromising the permissions/(non-)guest access of the share?


I have a...

Thanks guys for the input, I almost forgot I posted this question :)

Thanks for the script FakeOutdoorsman, that worked well on a small sample. I'll play around with quality settings if I feel I...

In a Ubuntu command line setup, what's the best way to batch convert a bunch of WMV files (I believe they are all WMV3) into MP4 files without changing their size/aspect ratio/bitrate (i.e. just...

Nevermind, it appears there is a difference depending on which windows you drag and drop between. Just paying attention to the symbol on the mouse cursor helps.

Hi,

When you have a remote Samba share mounted with Gigolo and you move a file from one location to the other on the remote share:



Using a terminal, it appears to perform a remote move...

Nevermind, turns out although you can still create new Network Connection entries even if the Wifi is disabled, not all the security options are enabled until you actually enable the Wifi itself. ...

Hi,

I have Ubuntu desktop 14.04.2, but with the lightdm desktop instead of Unity.

I have the options to setup a Wireless network, but for some reason most of the security options are greyed out...

Grrrr! Well that took a long time to figure out.

In the end, all I had to do was add arcfour-hmac-md5:normal to the list of accepted encryption types on the KDC, and regenerate the password for...

Ahh, I might take some of what I said back. It looks like Samba does get the credentials correctly, but doesn't handle them right.

I turned Samba logging levels up to 10, and after some...

Well, it's looking more and more like it's a M$ annoyance. Apparently NOUSER is being used because Samba is not able to decrypt the credentials correctly. Whether this is because it's simply...

Hi,

Yes I have snipped the shares details out, as they were extensive and unnecessary for this post. The rest is all that is in my smb.conf file; most settings for Samba are correct by default,...

I think this occurs when I try a command requiring sudo and haven't yet entered my password. I had thought it was random, but I've realised it's whenever I am logged in.

Thanks,
Rob.

Hi,

I have a Samba installation on Ubuntu server 14.04.2 (smb.conf file included below). It uses Kerberos 5/openLDAP in the background to auth users.

I can successfully perform the following...

Hi,

On one of my servers, I keep seeing entries similar to the below line appearing randomly in the syslog:



nslcd[1873]: [155dbc] <passwd="*"> request denied by validnames option


There...

Figured it out in the end, it was a combination of:



Firewalls; I had not specified a static port for the rpc daemon to run on in the file at /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server, and so my firewall...
