Locale goes beyond keyboard map. At installation time, I think it did ask me for the locale, but left it at English US anyways. It is a beta after all, but…

There's no locale setting on ToriOS? Or am I mistaken?

I second that on web-sites becoming steadily heavier. But I don't think modern OS do more than older ones.

But the "used" computer option is a big no-no. Too many of them came through this house,...

First, thanks to all for your answers. From the first tests, it seems that MATE is still too resource-heavy on this machine. I temporarily put back the old hard drive. Tiny Core seems too radical of...

Hello there,

this post os to ask for a simple way to give my father a way to upgrade his antiquated 6.04 Ubuntu installation running on a 2001-era computer. It's so old that repositories have...

Well that would be hard now. For whatever mysterious reason, on second power-up, wifi finally connected without a hitch. Computer science surely isn't hard science.

Can't diagnose.

Thanks for the quick reply, but the post you pointed me to refers to known-problematic wifi chips. This machine uses a rather standard Ralink RT2790 that never had any issue with Desktop version of...

Hello community,

yesterday I wanted to reinstall Ubuntu Server 12.04 on a laptop. During installation, it asked me to select the primary interface, and for flexibility reasons, I selected wlan0....

Hi there,

I had a rather noob question about setting up a plain HTTP server, encrypted on the server.

I already know it's good practice to secure the connection itself through HTTPS, but...

Hi UF community,

I was told, a while ago, to use OpenVPN to connect to a fire walled machine for remote access. However, no detail was ever provided.

The question is pretty simple here, how...

Hm, I think that's $100 a year. The goal was, and still is to stay as far away as possible from police states. That means, nothing in the US nor France nor Germany. I though about a VPS, but...

One doesn't need to work in a corporate environment to have a need for MS Office. In the scientific field, publishers will almost universally ask for a DOCX version of the manuscript. I would bet...

Hi community,

this question is about a Linux shared hosting I rent, and as shared, doesn't provide any root access. For this reason and because it never worked properly, I ditched ownCloud, which...

Still no answer? I read a bit about UPnP and its Apple counterpart, NAT-PMP. But as you point out, they're not very secure. Another page referred to this exact matter, namely accessing a MBL, but...

Does it come with a server, that would be run on startup on the MBL, and clients for OS X and Ubuntu? Which side would initiate the connection? And more importantly, would the client be able to...

Hi there,

I intend to slightly modify a WD MyBook Live, very similar to Ubuntu since it runs Debian, by allowing it to automatically open ports to make it accessible from outside. It has inadyn...

Still no answer? Really nobody thought about setting up their own online services at a professional hosting service?

Hello community,

To break an unhealthy habit of relying upon (tapped) iCloud, I want to install my own iCloud-like server on my private, shared server outside of the US. It needs to employ only...

Are you kidding here¿

Considering even a tablet such as the iPad comes with already cramped 500MB plans and that many struggle to use a smartphone with anything less than 2GB plans, how do you...

Hello all,

I have set up an old LG R510 laptop with Ubuntu Server, and would like it to automatically go to sleep or hibernate when battery is empty, and gracefully wake up. I know it may not be...

In fact, I just followed Ubuntu's installation wizard and I don't recall it asking to configure another interface. The wording used was misleading in the sense that it implied this interface would be...

Ok, I plugged in the cable, but got:

$ sudo ifup eth0
Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.

Hello all,

this is probably a trivial question for many here. I just installed Ubuntu server on a laptop (LG R510), selecting the WLAN interface as the main interface. However, my router is not...

Hello there,

after much discussions on different forums and personal experience with general unreliability of cloud-bases services, I came to the conclusion that it could be actually a good idea...

No, it still doesn't work. My issues being described there:
