And although the original problem got solved, Murphy's Law struck me again. On December 3, I stepped into my home office to discover that a leaking hot water heater was in the process of flooding the...
You might be encountering this: "There's a major problem with Nvidia's driver in the most recent updates; it's on launchpad as bug #1737750." Basically, it's about an error upstream that has made it...
There's a major problem with Nvidia's driver in the most recent updates; it's on launchpad as bug #1737750. I found that on Xubuntu 16.04.5 I can use the system settings screen, additional drivers,...
Seems to be working now; Dovecot was wanting my user-login password, like sudo did before I changed sudoers, rather than any password referred to in the man pages for doveadm and dovecot! I'll mark...
I'm moving my production activity from Xubuntu 14.04 LTS to 16.04, now that 18.04 has been released -- and I'm having a problem getting my intra-LAN email set up. Both boxes on the LAN have Postfix...
And I finally figured out what happened: The install script for proftpd apparently creates the home directory for the user "ftp" in the "/srv" directory now, where the previous versions created it in...
As a matter of fact, you nailed it -- but since the uploads were all being attempted anonymously, the user name of "ftp" is being generated by the configuration file.
The idea finally dawned on me...
bump, please
The title sums things up, but here's the detail about my problem. The drive that contains my 14.04 system and FTP server is failing the SMART tests, so I've installed 16.04 on a separate drive, moved...
Actually there are separate subnets. 192.168.0.x is my LAN and 192.168.1.x is the connection to the
AT&T box. I've set the netfilter on "xubuntu2" to 255.255.0.0 to allow it to access both with...
Here's what you requested -- just to keep the thread's continuity. However I'm feeling quite stupid now. I had used /etc/sysctl.d on the 16.04 installaion to enable forwarding, but had failed to...
Here are the details, probably much more than you want to see:
On hostname=mehitabel (the production box/router, running 14.04.5):
lsb-release:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
...
Neither of the two boxes shows any trace in /var/log/syslog of the attempts to ping the WAN gateway (an AT&T combination modem/router). I'll have to try to organize my details offline and post them...
I'm in the process, finally, of migrating my production system from 14.04.5 to 16.04.4, and have run into a strange problem. The production system itself has full WAN and LAN connectivity on both the...
Well, your mention of power made me look at the hub into which I've plugged all three test mice, and since it's on the end of a maximum-length cable I thought that might be at least part of the...
Here it's four months later and the problem is back worse than ever. It's consistent across three different mice, one a brand new M510, one a much older logitech cordless optical (the model with the...
Sorry to un-solve this one, but the problem resurfaced a day later, and it persists with yet another mouse. It shows up most consistently when playing Solitaire so that's how I'm testing possible...
It's a cordless unit, with two AA cells powering it. This prompted me to change out the cells to see if that might be the cause. It's only been a few minutes, not long enough to know for sure, but so...
Within the last few weeks, my Logitech M510 mouse has developed an intermittent bounce in its buttons, so that an attempt to drag something becomes a double-click rather than a...
Well, I'm disappointed that I didn't get a single reply, but just in case anyone is curious I'll report that "sudo netstat -peanut" showed me that the "network unreachable" error came from my local...
Now that a new LTS is imminent, I'm attempting to migrate my production machine from 14.04 to 16.04 (!) and as usual it's a bit of a headache. The worst problem, for several days, has been a "network...
Just jumping in here, but I see a couple of references to "/dev/sdb" with NO partition number on it -- which would mean the entire drive, which by definition could not be backed up. Only the...
I did a self-test first thing, and it worked fine. Finally solved the problem this morning: a new kitten had been romping in my computer room last week, and managed to pull the USB cable of the...
I don't print very often, so I can't pinpoint a time that the failure happened, but under 16.04.3 I'm suddenly unable to print to my Laserjet 1320, which worked just fine the last time I tried to use...
Yep, that's the first step: create separate directories and limit the commands available in each to the absolute minimum necessary for functionality. For my database recovery business, which often...
