I found that the issue was with logrotate. When it rotated the lfd.log file it lost read permissions from the adm group. I entered in a custom section into logrotate.conf and that did the trick.

After getting spammed errors from logcheck (99.99% of them going to my junk folder) for over a month, I dug around to find out what was causing the issue with logcheck not able to send me reports. I...

Is sed required for installing packages using apt-get? I know doing dpkg I get an error listed in my original post.

I'm worried I'm stuck in a catch-22 situation where I need sed working to...

My server is running 12.04 and is a server at home running DNS, smb shares, CrashPlan, Rsnapshot, FTP, SoftEther VPN Server, and Plex. A bit of a jack of all trades.

After 6+ years of using Ubuntu...

I need to remove NUT and all other related programs. I have tried to remove nut with apt-get remove nut but I am still getting this message every so often:

I have a APC Smart UPS connected to my server and NUT setup. I'm not super familiar with NUT but I was able to get it installed and working (as far as I know). I am very familiar with the APC...

That does. I'm not running any databases on the server so then I really don't need to use LVM snapshots. I guess the only time I would do one is before I make massive changes to the system or before...

I don't care about speed. This is done late at night on my home server.

Any ideas? I'm just really curious what the best practice would be.

I am just starting to play around with LVM and I was curious about best practice for backups.

I have been using rsnapshot for years and it has never failed me. Now with using LVM, should I still...

I'm thinking Webmin is the issue. I just created a vm and creating everything from scratch by hand, no webmin and it worked. I think I'll scrap the users and the current samba settings on the...

I'm fine just using the conf file for setting this up and not webmin. None of the computers on the network are having any problems finding the server. Also the server will be used as the dns server...

Yes, I created the users on the system first, and then used the "Convert Unix users to Samba users" in Webmin.

Do I need to have them as regular linux users, or can they just be samba users?

I...

I have just setup a new simple Ubuntu Server 12.04 system for a client of mine. Most everything is up and running just fine, except for SAMBA. I frist tried using Webmin but was not able to get the...

Thanks again everyone

SeijiSensei, you are definitely building confidence in me with doing this. I really appreciate it.

We have a Dell rep that we deal with. I'm going to give him a call on Tuesday.

This is going...

I've had to deal with a cheap Dell T110 with a degraded array and it was setup using the on-board fake raid (wasn't setup by my company, was setup by their previous IT people). I talked with Dell and...

Just found out that the T310 is Ubuntu Certified for 10.04.4 LTS. I really want to make sure it runs on 12.04 LTS though.

SeijiSensei - Thank you for the reply

I am a Dell guy when it comes to Windows. 99% of my customers run Dell workstations and server. The T310 is my go-to server for any low end setup, mainly...

So then are you saying I should buy from System76?

Thank you but I've seen those lists.

I have looked at just getting a NAS but the issue I have is with off-site backups. Most of the options I've seen are for very expensive services.

From what...

Any comments on System76.com?

Why don't you want to do the rsnapshot to the drive directly? I've been using rsnapshot for several years now to a USB connected drive without issues.

I am looking into pricing for possibly setting up an Ubuntu server for a client of mine.

Are there any OEM server manufacturers out there that would be good to buy from? This is going to be mainly...

Ok so I have been able to setup a full using dar with it doing everything that I want it to do, but the diff now I cannot get to work AT ALL.

I was using this tutorial to base by script off of:...
