General :: Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition And Samba ?
Feb 8, 2010
I recently built a basic server computer for home use. (this will be for media, documents, music, etc) I have a basic amd mobo, cpu, and dvd drive. I have Ubuntu server 9.10 installed on an 8GB SD card that is attached to a usb dongle. The os loaded just fine And as a storage drive i have a seagate 1TB hard drive.
Then i got to creating shares in samba. I got to editing the smb.conf file and i couldn't figure out how to setup the shares (where exactly the 1tb Hard drive is, how to create directories and what not) Then i realized i needed to format the HDD! but when i go to run fdisk to finally do it, it tells me that it is "unable to open /dev/sda/"
Now i don't know a whole lot about linux as you can tell, but that is the whole reason i set this thing up is for a big learning experience in both linux and network setup.
To sum up, how do i format the 1TB HDD, and how would i set up samba so i could administrate it from my other computer (SWAT is what i've read about)

I have redhat ES 5.5 64bit edition and I'm trying to install samba using the DVD I installed the software with - however this is failing the dependency checks, am I installing the wrong software or something?
[root@localhost samba]# ls

This is just rpm's I've grabbed directly from the disk.

To force myself to use CLI all the time, I've installed Ubuntu Server edition on my work laptop. However, I still want to be able to view PDF ( rendered as normal PDF, not converted to text ). Basically I want a totally CLI environment, except for PDF viewer.

I want to run Ubuntu Server Edition just at home, however to avoid having to reinstall it in the future when i upgrade hardware, I was thinking of virtualizing it first. Are there any minimalistic virtualisation solutions available at the moment for this sort of purpose? Or even better a linux distro just for this?

Whilst I have used GUI-based Linux distros for the last few years, I am now struggling somewhat when it comes to setting up a server from the command line. All the howto's I've read so far tell you how to set up certain things, but I don't know what I actually need to set up.Rather than asking the same questions all over again on a forum like this, and generally being a bit of a noob, I wonder if there's a resource somewhere that someone could direct me to in order to know what I need to do to set up a fileserver.
The hardware is all done, and I will probably set up a router distro like IpCop to manage the network, but I'm rather lost as to what packages I need, and how to know what the server is/isn't doing.I've used plenty of command lines in the past (ms dos, amiga dos, BASIC programming etc), just not a linux command line. All I've ever done is mount a few drives, use nmap and started x

I have a server running ubuntu 9.10 server edition. The system has a built in tv-out powered by an Intel 82865G chip. I have a television connected to that, and it works fine in console mode, but when X loads, the screen starts rolling vertically (a 10 second video clip showing exactly what I mean can be seen at [URL]).
My xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection .....

What's the difference in terms of scalability? We would be hosting videos and FOSS collaboration tools (wiki, forums, etc.) on 4 separate servers. If I install the cloud server, I will need to install the GUI anyways. The servers are all brand new
- 2x Intel Xeon quad cores 2.4 GHz
- 12 GB DDR3 RAM
- 4 Ethernet ports
What benefits would cloud server provide over desktop and vice versa?

I tried installing Ubuntu LTS 10.04 Server Edition 64 bit on one of my drives today...
The install completed fine until it went to reboot. Then it faills while initializing the graphics. It tries (a purple flash on the screen) then goes to a text based dump on the monitor.
Ubuntu LTS 10.04 Desktop Edition run great on this machine. I'm wondering if the Server Edition confused by multiple instances of a video card? This computer is SLI bridged:
Code:
Is the xorg or whatever video subsystem that the server edition uses different than Desktop Edition?

I am trying to set up Ubuntu server edition 10.10 in virtualbox (windows host). All is going well, except that I can't figure out how to install the guest additions. I know how to do it in the normal edition of Ubuntu, but when I navigate to media/cdrom, it's empty.

I know it is possible to install a Ubuntu Server Edition and later on 'upgrade' it to a desktop edition by doing
Code: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop But, as I understood it, this installs apps like OpenOffice and such too... Now, is it possible to install the ubuntu-desktop-GUI (so, actually GNOME) without installing all of the unwanted apps Apps I actually need are pulseaudio, transmission and samba, which I prefer to install separately.

I have to rename a group of machines in my little samba domain (tbd backend) but there is an ugly bug that makes this impossible. have set 'rename user script' variable corectly, also checked all configurations.When i change computer name in my windows box, it shows an error saying something like "Error calling remote procedure"Looking on server side, username for the machine gets correctly changed in /usr/passwd, and also in samba database.But samba log says:
