First, did you create a "mount point," an empty directory to which the volume will be attached?

For the moment, let's use one of the standard mount points that are included with Ubuntu.

Start...

Windows users are used to downloading applications from various places. Most Linux distributions, Ubuntu included, store all the available applications in "repositories." You should always use the...

What do you get if you hit Shift+PrtScreen? Does it bring up an application to take a screenshot? (I use Kubuntu which has this facility, though I think it's pretty common across Ubuntu "flavors.")...

You're apparently having problems with outbound mail. Opening the SMTP ports should do nothing for that unless you're blocking ports on localhost (127.0.0.1).

Here's a quick test. If you can get...

Actually you'll need to use "sudo modprobe usbserial".

smplayer + mpv for the win

I eventually created a 20.10 virtual machine using VirtualBox just to run the 1.4.0 version of pspp that was compiled for Groovy. You can find it here:...

I would choose a laptop based on its physical specifications like size and weight. Most laptops from mainstream manufacturers will run Linux without a problem. If I were to buy another laptop these...

You could try running Xubuntu in a VirtualBox virtual machine. See https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2456645&p=14014685#post14014685 for details.

If you accept the defaults in GIMP, it will scale the picture proportionally along both axes. Type a number like 400 in the width box from the Image > Scale Image dialog and the height will adjust...

I suggest an entirely different approach.

Install VirtualBox for Windows on your Win10 machine. Download an installation disk image like this one for regular Ubuntu, or this one for a popular...

I'd run "sudo apt autoremove" first, if you haven't done so recently.

All I can think of is that you're running some kind of firewall on the Ubuntu side which keeps packets from being sent to 255.255.255.255.

Is this a vanilla installation, or did you add some rules...

To get Linux systems to resolve "unqualified" names like "myhost", you need to add a search parameter to /etc/resolv.conf that points to the domain name. Usually you can get the DHCP server to push...

Let's start by making sure the card is recognized. Is it listed if you run "lspci" in a terminal?

I've not used a Dell with an outboard card. I have built servers on Dells with an embedded...

I'd start by running

sudo dhclient -v
and see if it reports any errors. If you have multiple network interfaces, add the interface name that points to the DHCP server (e.g., enp4s0, wlp2s0,...

I seem to recall someone posting here about file access issues using the snap for GIMP. One reason why I avoid all snaps.

You can lease an entire virtual server from Linode for $5/month. You'd have to set up your own email system, of course, but it sounds like you would know how to do that. There are a few web-based...

If you are in the same directory as the script, you need to precede the filename with "./" like this:

./Impro-Visor_unix_10_2.sh

One trick I've used in the past is to run Samba with the "force user" and "force group" options. This tells Samba to use a specific user or...

Unless it's open-source, which seems unlikely, it won't be in the repositories.

Do you want to access this server from its public address? Seems like a bad idea to me from a security perspective. At a minimum, run plex on a different port than its default.

I assume this...

I've used the Emacs clone jed for many years now. It also has syntax highlighting and other goodies for PHP code. jed is in the Ubuntu repositories.

Having an editor that keeps track of open...

If your primary application is media sharing, I suggest using minidlna. It uses the DLNA method and works with most any device you have. On Android, for instance, you can use BubbleUPnP as the DLNA...

Like much Linux software, there's little to distinguish between server and workstation applications. You can run apcupsd on either.
