HI,

I'm trying to use a headless ubuntu server to mess with a video feed into the machine, but before I can do anything fancy I just want to record a file off the input.
I have tried a dozen...

it was only a snapshot... All I had. The host FS checks out; it is booting and running properly.

I restored from a backup and still have issues. I reran the boot-repair, this time I had automatic options, but they failed.

I had a power outage and now it seems that I can't boot.

I ran "boot-repair" and it says.

Thanks for the help!

For the record/posterity

The issue was a buffalo dd-wrt one.

I added the command in "administration" > "commands"

No, not at all. So is "hairpinning" the term I should be looking into?

My server actually handles the ddns, and it accessible from a toatly separate location.
It seems to be the loop that is an issue.

I'm looking for cheap way to get a video in, simple RCA is fine, I don't need any TV tuning bells or whistles.
USB or PCI would be fine. Most importantly, something that plays well with linux.

how can I ssh in and leave process running after log out?

I want to close terminal window, but leave the process to complete.

You would be amazed at how old of a system you can run Ubuntu server on. Find ANY desktop machine and install 14.04 server and see. I'll bet whatever box you find will work for your site.

can you ping/access other pages?

I'm not using the guest account when I'm on the machine, CLI only by the way.
I'm using samba with the option to allow guest, when I access the share from the Win7 that's how I get around being...

Currently, through a samba share, but I have the "guest" mode enabled. Thus, there is no authentication of any type (as far as I know).

Is there a way to authenticate from windows? Files that don't have open permission give me a windows message of, "is this file open by another program"

I've been asked for credentials before, but...

When I have to edit the code for pages on my server. I prefer to use windows. So I make the folder a share and then I have to chmod 777 the file so I can be saved from notepadd++.

I haven't gotten the rescue disk to work, but that could be my fault, im not sure what to do with it when it asks for where to put the files.

looks like fsarchiver can't handle my fs. I'm guessing ext4, I probably went with the 12.04 default.

So Simple question, hopefully simple answer...

Can I make a full backup of my drive while its running?
