Did you ever find an answer? I'm looking for recommendations, too.
I moved to 13.10 and it is working now.
I'm battling this, too. Did you ever find a solution?
If you're looking to set up an SFTP-based multi-user file server, I've written up a blog post that describes my experience setting one up under 12.04. Hope it helps someone else:

Actually, about 1 out of 5 launches of the game, there will be a strange sound echo that doesn't go away until I relaunch it.
No performance/stability problems on my 2 year old mid-range desktop or 1 year old high-end laptop. It actually runs better on both than on my wife's Windows laptop, although that hardware is 3-4...
This thread is about StarCraft II, not Counter-Strike.
Here's how I got StarCraft II running under Kubuntu 12.04 with Wine 1.5 and Bumblebee (for NVIDIA Optimus laptops). Hopefully, someone else will find it useful. I will assume you've already installed...
You'll need it if you need to reinstall Windows someday.
The next best thing to having a dedicated partition and dual-booting is running Ubuntu in a virtual machine. Take a look at VirtualBox.
The laptop arrived and all works well except (...wait for it...) Optimus. I installed Bumblebee, but whenever I start a program with optirun, the laptop does a hard shutdown. I ran across this Ask...
Thanks for the feedback. I ordered the laptop last week. These days it seems impossible to find one with high-end NVIDIA graphics that doesn't also include Optimus. But good to know Bumblebee works.
Anyone have experience with the HP dv7t-7000 quad edition? Compatibility problems? It comes with an NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M, which I'm guessing also includes Optimus. If so, can it be disabled in the...
Dell Alienware M17x R4
Kubuntu 12.04
Mostly works, but...
Ships with NVIDIA Optimus-based video, which you can only get to work with Bumblebee if you're willing to put up with the nonesense...
I ran across this page on the Linux Laptop Wiki that says you can set the video to "Discrete" in the BIOS to get the NVIDIA card to work. Supposedly, then, you don't need Bumblebee.
Yes, you need Bumblebee if you want to use the NVIDIA hardware unless your BIOS lets you disable the Intel adapter.
Please let us know how you do with this. I'm looking at this laptop, too.
Well, I took a risk and bought a four-drive enclosure for the Meerkat Ion Nettop and... got burned. Only the first drive is visible in Ubuntu and the activity LED for the second drive is constantly...
Whomever said that was giving out bad advice, I'm afraid. Ubuntu works fine with WPA in general, but some wireless devices work better than others "out-of-the-box". For example, some Broadcom...
Thank you for this! I am still trying to decide whether I want to migrate or just reinstall, but at least now I know what I'd be up against.
+1. Stellarsky, you didn't say if your network is protected with WPA or not, but that is the only effective way to protect a wireless network. MAC address filtering does nothing except prevent...
For future reference, you can run this to see the entire command line that started the Python process. Might give you some idea as to what it is:
sudo cat /proc/<pid>/cmdline
Where <pid>...
If you have an SSH server installed, then you've already got SFTP available. If not, just install OpenSSH server with:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
SSH listens on port 22 by...
FTP is a nightmare from a NAT/firewall perspective, particularly if you're dealing with a consumer-grade router. Depending on configuration, either the client or the server is expected to accept data...
It's not in Unity. It's in the TrueCrypt GUI.
I have a small program that should be started whenever a connection is made to a particular TCP port from localhost. And I want its standard I/O streams to be bound to that network connection.

This was very helpful to me as well. Did you figure out how to prevent jailed users from invoking chmod?
