  1. [SOLVED] Re: Strange Network Not Available error, 16.04.4

    And although the original problem got solved, Murphy's Law struck me again. On December 3, I stepped into my home office to discover that a leaking hot water heater was in the process of flooding the...

    [SOLVED] Re: Postfix, Dovecot, password problem

    Seems to be working now; Dovecot was wanting my user-login password, like sudo did before I changed sudoers, rather than any password referred to in the man pages for doveadm and dovecot! I'll mark...

    [SOLVED] Postfix, Dovecot, password problem

    I'm moving my production activity from Xubuntu 14.04 LTS to 16.04, now that 18.04 has been released -- and I'm having a problem getting my intra-LAN email set up. Both boxes on the LAN have Postfix...
  6. [SOLVED] Re: Proftpd works on 14.04, gives 550 error on 16.04

    And I finally figured out what happened: The install script for proftpd apparently creates the home directory for the user "ftp" in the "/srv" directory now, where the previous versions created it in...
  7. [SOLVED] Re: Proftpd works on 14.04, gives 550 error on 16.04

    As a matter of fact, you nailed it -- but since the uploads were all being attempted anonymously, the user name of "ftp" is being generated by the configuration file.

    The idea finally dawned on me...

  9. [SOLVED] Proftpd works on 14.04, gives 550 error on 16.04

    The title sums things up, but here's the detail about my problem. The drive that contains my 14.04 system and FTP server is failing the SMART tests, so I've installed 16.04 on a separate drive, moved...
  10. [SOLVED] Re: Strange Network Not Available error, 16.04.4

    Actually there are separate subnets. 192.168.0.x is my LAN and 192.168.1.x is the connection to the
    AT&T box. I've set the netfilter on "xubuntu2" to 255.255.0.0 to allow it to access both with...
  11. [SOLVED] Re: Strange Network Not Available error, 16.04.4

    Here's what you requested -- just to keep the thread's continuity. However I'm feeling quite stupid now. I had used /etc/sysctl.d on the 16.04 installaion to enable forwarding, but had failed to...
  12. [SOLVED] Re: Strange Network Not Available error, 16.04.4

    Here are the details, probably much more than you want to see:
    On hostname=mehitabel (the production box/router, running 14.04.5):
    lsb-release:
    DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
    DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
    ...
  13. [SOLVED] Re: Strange Network Not Available error, 16.04.4

    Neither of the two boxes shows any trace in /var/log/syslog of the attempts to ping the WAN gateway (an AT&T combination modem/router). I'll have to try to organize my details offline and post them...
  14. [SOLVED] Strange Network Not Available error, 16.04.4

    I'm in the process, finally, of migrating my production system from 14.04.5 to 16.04.4, and have run into a strange problem. The production system itself has full WAN and LAN connectivity on both the...

    Re: mouse button bounce

    Well, your mention of power made me look at the hub into which I've plugged all three test mice, and since it's on the end of a maximum-length cable I thought that might be at least part of the...

    Re: mouse button bounce

    It's a cordless unit, with two AA cells powering it. This prompted me to change out the cells to see if that might be the cause. It's only been a few minutes, not long enough to know for sure, but so...
