Hello,

My ISP recently upgraded me to a 120Mbps connection, at the current time however my router only has 100Mbps ethernet ports giving me only ~90Mbps on a speed test (as I assume due to...

By the way I'm not looking for ways to secure the server against griefing or other minor attacks as I have backups in place, what I'm really concerned about is there being a vulnerability in...

Hello,

I currently have an Ubuntu 12.04 server that I used to host a Minecraft server, one thing I am worried about is security. At the current time I have the java executable set to run as the...

Hello,

I have an Ubuntu 12.04 server running Nginx serving pages just for me and a few friends, one thing I've noticed is that in the access logs it's filled with attempts to find folders like...

I assume then if I don't like it I run:


sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop

So there will be no useless files sitting on the system?

Hello,

I'm currently running Windows and Lubuntu in dual boot, I've always wanted to test Unity but when I try it in a VM it always has terrible performance (I assume due to VMware lacking the...

Hello,

I'm currently running Ubuntu 12.04 on my home server, however I'm trying to fin the command that will tell me how long each package will be supported for. I remember seeing it before and it...

Hello,

I've just purchased a Seagate Momentus XT 750GB drive, which features the 4k sector sizes. I wish to install Windows 7 and dual boot with either Ubuntu or Lubuntu, but I'm wondering what...

I've fixed it by removing commands.pyc, here's the command I used:


sudo rm /usr/lib/python2.7/commands.pyc

I'm currently running 11.10 on my server, I previous upgraded from 11.04 a few months ago and everything went smoothly however I am having some problems when attempting to upgrade to 12.04. When...

OpenSSH is both a SSH server and client. I would imagine you're wondering about the server part the most, it basically allows you to remotely and securely access the command line of a Linux computer...

You could do the same thing on any desktop PC, install you preferred OS and either use Ubuntu or Windows then install VirtualBox in top of that and install a VM with Linux or Windows.

I've never...

I'm just running Ubuntu Server without a DE anyway so everything I do is in the CLI.

With ClamFS is it possible to only scan certain file locations? I have a separate folder set up for all the...

Hello,

I'm wondering what the best product would be to get an anti-virus that will run a daemon and scan the files in the shares only in real time? I've seen Samba-Vscan but it hasn't been updated...

It doesn't matter to Samba what file system the shares are based on as long as the kernel has support for them. As far as I know anything the kernel supports, Samba will support.

Just also another heads up this script uses MD5 without a salt, not only is MD5 known to be cryptographically broken but not using a salt is also against security recommendations. You'll probably...

How is this printers compatibility with Ubuntu? I seem to have conflicting reports,...

Hello,

I currently own a Lexmark X9575 which is a paperweight with Linux, I'm looking for a new printer and scanner combo with the ability to interface with my network as I have many computers...

I wouldn't disable AppArmor completely as ideally on a server you want the highest security. You can tell AppArmor to ignore a single profile but then I still wouldn't think that's the best solution...

I've had a slightly similar experience to this, it was a bad ethernet cable that dropped around 10% of packets and did so in a sporadic fashion. Have you tried running a ping for a while, say 5...

If it's going to be permanently attached to the system you might want to add an entry to /etc/fstab to ensure it is mounted on every boot.

I've heard of this happening with a bad GPU but since GRUB is displaying fine I can't think of much else. Have you tried running a memtest? That would be my second thought that maybe a stick of RAM...

I would recommend using SCP to transfer files but if you really want to map a drive in Windows samba is the only way to go. I created a new user for each Samba user then setup a directory in...

I run a very similar set up except I'm running it on an Intel Atom N270, have you thought about giving the RAM a bump to 2GB? It's fairly cheap to do and will lift some of the constraints.

At line 531 you have display_errors = Off you want to change that to on
