Hi,

Just to close the loop, I gave up on MS Virtual PC and went with Virtualbox. I now have network connectivity.

Hi and thanks for the feedback.

The setting I have is "Shared Networking (NAT)". I believe that's the correct one but I've tried the others as well. Nothing seems to work.

There is no option...

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, I'm running ubuntu in the virtual pc.

It seems I don't have an IPv4 address! Just an IPv6 one which is useless since I don't have any v6 connectivity. I can see...

As it says in the subject. The little network icon is empty and there is no connectivity.

In Windows Virtual PC settings I've selected "Shared networking (NAT)". Also tried the other options for...

THANK YOU steeldriver!

You called it exactly right.

The owner/group for /home/me/.Xauthority was root/root.

That was a bit of a surprise since I was able to login as me b4 the upgrade to...

I think I'm getting somewhere.

First off this is a private system with just one user (me) plus root. I've now added a second user who is able to login.

My UID is 1000 and does not show on the...

Thank you both Bhawani007 and Frogs Hair,

That's what I've done and used the terminal to create a new user. Old users can also login this way (via the terminal).

But the old users still don't...

Boy am I glad this forum is back!

While it was down I upgraded to 12.04 and now my existing users can't login.

I can add new users and they can login w/o problem.

How do I get my old uses to...

Yes, my bad. I think of the netbios name in Windows a the equivalent of the hostname in Linux.

Sorry about the confusion. But the bottom line is I got what I wanted.

I found nbtscan.

Works great!

Is there a way to get the IP and hostname of all clients on the LAN?

I've tried this command:
nmap -sn 192.168.0.0/24

Which DOES locate the hosts but does NOT seem to report hostnames.
...

In a sense. I ended up reinstalling from scratch. It was fine after that.

I get this message when trying to connect to the email server:


The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that could not be verified.

A certificate chain processed but...

Thank you very much!

Your solution worked.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to use it because it created a lot of useless file names like: ____________.______._______abc_____

It would have made...

Hi, I don't know perl at all and am not very good with regular expressions.

I'm trying to eliminate some non-utf8 characters in file names and don't know the original charset. Here's an example...

Thanks! That's just what I'll do.

But I think this will continue to occur as Windows users add more files to the shares.

I'd really like to know what caused this to just become a problem when...

I have some samba shares used by Windows users. Some of the file names in those shares have foreign characters like an "a" with 2 dots above.

Linux displays those files with "(invalid encoding)"...

I had temporarily set tls auth on and so some mail get deferred b/c it couldn't be authorized. The message:

I corrected this and new mail is...

I had temporarily set tls auth on and so some mail get deferred b/c it couldn't be authorized.

I corrected this and new mail is arriving correctly.

BUT the deferred mail is stuck in the queue!...

I followed Falco's great instructions (The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Apache2, BIND, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3)) pretty much to the letter but when I get to the last page which says to go here: ...

Update: After successfully updating with synaptic I tried to use update manager to check again for new updates.

I didn't expect any but thought I'd give it a try.

That was over an hour ago and...

Me again.

Well I waited over 7 hours and the progress bar never moved.

I killed the process and used synaptic instead of update manager and the whole thing took maybe 10 minutes to complete.
...

I got tired of waiting so I paged down and finally got to "(END)" of that detail block.

But I don't think anything is happening at this point.

The progress bar is at about 50% and seems to be...

I'm in the process of "Applying changes" in the Update Manager and it seems stalled.

The Details window has some notices:


apport (2.0.1-0ubuntu9) precise-proposed; urgency=low

AhHa! I was putting '<remote server>:5901 in the 'Remote host' edit box.

Works like a charm.

Thanks so much!
