All, my [mis]adventures with my QNAP TS-459 Pro II NAS continue apace...

The latest is a good one... Starting about 6 weeks ago, I noticed that when I booted my Core i7 Quad machine with 12.04...

Sorry for such a delay in giving this update.

I spent quite a bit of time working with some very helpful folk over at the QNAP forums, and after a little bit of experimentation, I got this to work...

Thank you, MC4MAN, that did the trick...

:grin:

All,

Before I go any further, let me acknowledge that in large part the problem I describe below is self-inflicted...

Set-up:
I have a Shuttle X35 "Media PC" [tiny fanless workstation] set up...

For what it's worth, this is the error message I can induce:-

# sudo mount -a
mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported
#

Nothing gets reported to syslog.
...

Sorry, should have said that this is how I am configured to access the QNAP from 12.04:

# QNAP TS-549 Pro II NAS
192.168.1.41:Public /media/nas nfs rw,hard,intr 0 2

All,

My QNAP TS-459 Pro II NAS was set to automatically check for new firmware updates. Yesterday I noticed that it had downloaded a new image and wanted a reboot, so gave the OK.

Today I am...

All, just had a weird experience with my 12.04 installation on my Shuttle X35 (32-bit). I went to launch Rhythmbox and put on some background music whilst I work, only to get an error message...

All, if you're interested in experimenting with PHP-GTK with the latest release (12.04, Precise Pangolin at the time of writing), then you will be pleased to know that bastones original how-to seems...

iduas,

I saw exactly the same issue as yours. It turns out that there was an error in the uploaded source versions. I managed to implement the same fix as you identified, so I also filed a bug...

Here's a weird one which may be self-inflicted.

Downloaded and installed 12.04 64-Bit edition to a Core i7 Quad that has on-board sound on the motherboard and also a Creative Labs SoundBlaster...

I've compeleted quite a bit more experimentation with this, trying various permutations to see what works.

The short update is that I have been successful in getting an NFS mount from ubuntu...

There are probably several different things that can cause this...

May I suggest that to help diagnostics, there are a couple of extra pieces of information that you could provide:-

1. Make and...

I am not sure if this is going to help narrow down the problem, but today I dug out my Lucid Lynx build, applied all the latest patches, and installed nfs-common.

I set up an entry in fstab, like...

I've just purchased a QNAP TS-459 Pro II NAS to replace an aging (and creaking) Apple Time Capsule. Unfortunately, my 64-Bit Oneiric build is prone to a complete kernel-panic system hang when using...

Actually, your message is very topical.

I've just bought a TS-459 Pro II to replace an existing Apple Time Capsule that was getting full and sounding terminally sick all at the same time...
...

OK, so the above issue is clearly a regression test failure, but I am curious as to where the gap lies...

Does this exist thanks to changes made by the KDE Team in a recent release, or is this...

Today I tried to add some old TTF files that I have used in some of my [now very old] documents - files that were originally written in Word for Windows and are now maintained with LibreOffice...

Bastones et al,

Successfully running installation.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write guidance notes that were clear enough even for this numpty to follow...

I did try and look...

Bastones ... Passing Gurus...

I hit a snag with with these instructions (running 10.04 AMD64) and, to my complete and utter amazement (I'm a complete numpty) I managed to fix the problem... This...

Hey everyone. This is a bit of an odd question, but has anyone experienced any problems trying to use Google Maps with Firefox recently?

I am running 64-bit Maverick [fully patched] and have an...

Here's an odd one...

Using ubuntu 10.10/AMD64, I have also loaded the KDE libraries to create a machine with dual WM options and typically boot into KDE. Worked OK for a week after the build, and...

After some experimentation, I've managed to get a reasonably effective working solution that enables me to use my Time Capsule with a Jaunty workstation quite effectively.

Here are some key...

Martin,

This doesn't help you much, but I am also seeing the exact same behaviour. I performed a base ubuntu installation, then installed KDE on top, then switched to KDE as my default Window...

After a good night to sleep on the problem, I have managed to get just a little bit further:


1. Use the "cvt" command to poll the system for settings of the required resolution:

# cvt 1920...
