I saw my mate change the HD. Pretty sure he plugged it into the motherboard and then used some sort of binding to ensure the connection was tight.

This is not really a Ubuntu problem but if anyone can help I will be grateful. I have a 2018 Dell XPS13 2 in 1 laptop. One day on restart it came up with the message "Hard Drive - Not installed" ...

Thanks for the help. I can sort it from here.

What should the partition table type be. The default seems to be msdos.

I just installed a new Seagate ST2000VM003 2Tb hard drive. I used Disks to Format the entire area as Ext4. It did not work in the same way as other disks I have formatted in that there does not...

Sorry, I just realised I was vastly over-complicating this. All I actually needed to do was boot from the flash drive, navigate to the SSD and the original /etc, then edit the FStab from there. Job...

I think you may be overrating my talents. I have had to learn a few specific things, but the breadth of my knowledge is limited.

When I attempt to boot into recovery mode I get a message "you...

I have no problem posting the other stuff as soon as I have access to it. I'm just trying to access the problems one at a time. I'm fairly sure it's the drives or the partitions that are the...

I'm trying to install a couple of 2Tb hard drives as archives. They are physically installed and I used GParted to delete all old partitions and install a new Ext4 partition on each. I then edited...

I managed to get Ubuntu loaded onto a gash hard drive. It is very slow and the video is distorted, but I'm fairly happy that the problem is in the video card. I just need to replace that and I...

I now have trial Ubuntu running from a flash drive. The background screen is not right, just a bunch of interference lines, but the dock shows on the left and it responds. What kind of tests can I...

Hi

Sorry if I appear to have been ignoring your help. Extenuating circumstances I'm afraid.

I have finally managed to create a bootable USB, and while it does not show the same error, it still...

An old machine went wrong while updating the XUbuntu software. At first I thought this was the cause so I went for a software reload, but there seems to be a hardware problem. I don't know what...

Yes, that is precisely what I want. I contribute heavily to the entertainment industry, not just Netflix but also Sky, Amazon, and a UK TV License, which goes to pay for the BBC. None of these...

I know what my public IP address is now. How do I find out if that is static.

I do not have a domain registrar.

My connection is fibre optic with the final section by copper. It is fast but...

I have a few computers and a very simple network, running from an Xubuntu server. Thanks to all who helped me to set this up.

I travel regularly and would like to be able to disguise this fact by...

Sorted it.

What you said was almost correct, certainly in the right direction. All the IP addresses were supposed to be fixed, but in resetting the router it decided to change the IP address of...

I have 3 Xubuntu computers forming a single user network. One is the server, another a workstation, and the third a media machine connected to my TV, along with a Sky Box, etc. This is an nfs...

Thanks. I was coming to the same conclusion as to what went wrong. I haven't got the SAS disks and their controller configured properly, but that is a different issue. I'll close this thread for...

Thanks but I'm afraid it's past that. I've just re-loaded the software and I'll be resetting the network stuff shortly. I couldn't have done the things you're asking for anyway, because i was...

I'm running XUbuntu and using it as a server. I have a 225 gb ssd, one small SATA drive, one 3tb SATA drive with the network share, and 2 4TB SAS drives attached to an SAS controller card. The...

I recently set up a network, with much help from this forum. Now it is working I need to take it forward, and my next big task is setting up the live system with long term storage.

I have...

I have my server operating well on both NFS and Samba, thanks to much help from this forum.

My problem now is populating it. To this end I followed advice and bought 3 second hand enterprise...

Thanks to all. That's for tomorrow now. I'll end this and start again.

What I will need next is a good backup system, then I can go live. Currently I just copy my network files to a couple of removable hard drives, but I think I want better than that now, probably...
