Leave it like that to let localhost relay your mail. And normally myhostname lists the machine name too:

myhostname = machinename.domainname.com

As others have said, you need to know what services you want to run similar to windows home server. I set up a home media server on an old machine using ubuntu server 9.10, but it would probably be...

Just a wild guess here, but do you have your hosts and interfaces files set up with the dyndns domain? I have the exact setup as you and tried to connect from an external shell account using lynx...

I don't know if this is the problem, but I have vbox set up from synaptic and I always point the boot disk to cdrom, not floppy. If the iso is on my hd, that's where I point to as "cdrom". I change...

It was probably just me, but after a clean install of final 9.10 I was pulling my hair out until I noticed that the speaker icon was set at 0.

Another Me Too on thanks for the tutorial. I have Windows 7 running on an extra machine on my home office LAN and the Ubuntu machine has been the only one which couldn't see the Win7 shares. I've...

For me, my system seems a little snappier. I'm on an Athlon 2500+ with an AGP card. I enjoy a little compiz, but I live happily without all the advanced features, not a gamer, etc. I forget with...

It works fine with my HD3450. The 9.4 driver worked *almost* fine, except my screensaver would freeze up the system so I had to turn it to blank screen. So far, with 9.5, the screensaver is working...

This is the first release where Nautilus worked for me, showing all the machines on my LAN as well as the shares. Previously I could connect to shares, but I had to do it manually. Also, I can set...

Normally, I install samba to begin with and add smbusers. This time (with a clean install of Jaunty) I decided to let nautilus install samba to see what happened. Like you, my share didn't show up...

I don't see how that would work. Say you have it listening on port 80 and you can ssh into your dyn-dyn address on port 80 (ssh domain.com:80?), there's still no forwarding on the remote router...

I could be missing something, but it sounds like the person who owns the router in the separate flat had a DSL connection going into his router and you and your friends are sharing it (?). Without...

You have to uncheck System Setting in 8.10. That will save your static ip. I still have a nuisance where upon rebooting, my same network card has both the static ip and the assigned ip. So far I'm...

It worked fine in my 32bit install. Thanks!

Update Manager upgraded firefox today and now I can't get it to start. I tried starting it from the command line and got the following error:

error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so:...

I had some of the same problems. I recall getting stuck in 640x480 hell after I tried envy. What finally worked for me was installing nvidia-settings, listed in synaptic.

I don't know what your error is, but I never use a space between -u and root

After you set up the desktop, installing a lamp server with httpd, mysql and php is incredibly easy.


sudo tasksel install lamp-server

I use my Hardy desktop...

You can set it up in Administration/Networking. Choose static ip from the drop down box, type it in and type in the ip address of your router under gateway. Then you have to go into your router and...

I did a clean install and noticed the same behavior, but for only one of my shares; the rest mount normally. There were some bug reports relating to nautilus/network weirdness, and I'm assuming...

If it's strictly a file server, from a resources standpoint, the server version would be best. If you've got a fast machine, then you could put the desktop version on it. I'm using my desktop...

try typing in a terminal:
gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop

See if ticking the trash icon visible box brings it back.

This finally worked for me. After clean-installing hardy, I had the similar problems others had with their Nvidia cards (I have a GeForce 6600). When enabling the restricted drivers, I could only...
