General :: Create A Media Server Using Ubuntu?

Apr 28, 2010

I'm an intermediate Linux user and a relative beginner to servers. I would like some help finding resources on setting up a basic server. I have Googled, and am a member of the Ubuntu Forums, but just figure it can't hurt to ask the Stack Overflow community for help as well. I plan on installing on an old laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad R61i or Toshiba Satellite A105). I have downloaded the latest Ubuntu (9.10) but don't know how to do any of the configurations.

I just want a server to store my files where I can access (download and/ or stream) from a browser.

General :: Home Media And Storage Server?

Jun 2, 2010

i have a spare computer and 4 hds and was planning to make this computer a storage server with a media place aswell... i do have some linux knowledge but never used it for this and am not sure how good it will be initially the media files are in an HD with ntfs format which i want to keep as is... but i was wondering what options i had to make a media folder over network where i could browse and watch from any computer in my network ? is it samba my only options or is there a more media like solution for this ? There will aswell other features i was planning to use on it which made me think of linux, for example, svn server, websever with mysql to testing my applications, connection manager, all these i am sure on how to make and setup... but i am not very familiar with samba hence i am not sure if it is the best options for file sharing aswell as media sharing and/or my only option.i also heard that ntfs might be trouble some for linux in some cases

Ubuntu :: Create Shortcut To Media Folder In Home Directory?

Dec 14, 2010

I currently have an ASUS eebox which is running XBMC Live which includes a stripped down version of Ubuntu. The computer will be used by various people within a teaching environment and I have successfully installed launchers for Openoffice which can be opened within XBMC.

I am trying to the make the experience for the end user as simple as possible as the vast majority will have never used Linux before. I want to get to a point where they can open Openoffice, plug in their USB stick and navigate quickly to their files. At the moment when the program is launched and I try and navigate for a file it automatically starts in the Home Folder of xbmc. So I have navigate up a couple of times, then find the /media directory where the USB stick has been mounted and so on. What I was hoping to do is create a shortcut within the Home Directory which takes you straight to the Media folder where usb is mounted.

I have already attempted and created a folder within the Home directory and called it usbpen.

I have then added the following line into fstab /media /home/xbmc/usbpen none bind 0 0

Now when I reboot the machine and navigate to the home/xbmc/usbpen folder I can see the Drive name of the USB device mounted in /media but I cannot navigate through any of the files, I am greeted with a read error message. So the shortcut is only allowing me to see the device name only.

be aware that due to running XBMC Live I do not have a Windows manager installed and therefore everything must be done through the terminal.

General :: Setup Media Server To Stream Video Via The Internet?

Nov 27, 2010

setup a media server in Linux which streams video over the internet? Is it easy to do this? I want a server that will actually encode video in real time to allow it to stream over sometimes slow or unreliable networks. Basically, I want a server that works on the internet. I have a directory with a bunch of video files, and want to make this accessible to myself remotely. For other situations, I found great and useful software (such as the PS3 media server). I'd like to find something equally as useful for streaming video over the internet.

General :: Elegant Solution For Streaming Media From Home Server?

Jan 24, 2011

I recently moved (~65mi). I have all my files on my Linux Server at home. I want to find a way to have 2 Ubuntu Workstations (at my office/apartment) and Laptop to all be able to stream my media from my home server. (The server get about 600kbps upstream).

Accessing the files I found OpenVPN and NFS to work great - however streaming my videos hasn't been so good - its extremely choppy and unwatchable. I realize there is no perfect solution, but is there anything that could be setup to buffer/prefetch/compress videos making them tolerable to watch?

General :: Create New Domain On Ubuntu Server 32 Bit 10.04?

May 26, 2010

I am trying to create a new domain on an Ubuntu server version. the man page tells me to type

[URL]

When I do this it tells me that the command CREATE is not recognized. I realize (and hope) that this is probably extremely simple but can anyone help me with this? To give an idea of what I am trying to do. I am a network technician and I work with a Windows Server 2003 network. I am trying to create a separate domain for our training classes with linux to reduce costs. I still want to connect to the internet through our existing domain. I have all of the computers connected to the internet and set up including this server but I have not been able to get the server to become a name server so I can change the domain on all of the linux computers that I set up to have them on a separate domain.

Ubuntu :: Server 10.04 And Samba Server Admin - Share Media Files Between Computers

May 25, 2010

I have a LAN of about 70 computers that I would like to share media files between. I have gotten to the point with Samba that I can view the files without a username/password from client PC's. I would like to make all the folders read only except for one which will be writable for everyone. The thing that I am having a hard time with is allowing a couple of administrators (on Windows 7 machines) read/write access for all files/folders. I am completely new to Ubuntu and Samba so please make explanations thorough. Here is /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

General :: Install Windows 7 On Media Partition \ Keep Media Partition Completely Separate From Any OS?

Apr 24, 2010

I just bought a new hard drive so that I could convert my XP-only machine into an XP-Ubuntu-Windows 7 triple boot machine.Since the drive is absurdly huge (1 TB) I wouldn't mind throwing ReactOS into the mixtoo.I just found out that master boot records are limited to 4 entries, meaning 4 primary partitions. I had Windows XP set up on my old drive as a boot partition, a program files partition and a media partition. Since I really didn't want to install XP from scratch, I cloned this setup on my new drive.

This leaves me one MBR partition entry for installing Windows 7, Ubuntu and ReactOS. I'd like to avoid having to install XP from scratch like the plague, partly because it's supposed to be a safety net in case things go wrong with my other OS's and because I've invested a lot of time getting it set up exactly the way I like it.Here are the options I've considered and why I don't like them:Install Windows 7 on my media partition. This would work, but I prefer to keep my media partition completely separate from any OS, so that I can reformat an OS partition without affecting my media partition at all.

Use wubi or something to install Ubuntu in the same partition as something else. Again, this is brittle.Move all my media to a logical drive on an extended partition. Create another logical drive on this extended partition for Ubuntu. The problem here is that extended partitions are rather brittle--if you nuke one, it renders the rest useless.Just put the old drive back in my computer and run XP off it. Use the new one for the other OS's. The problem here is that the old drive is slower and uses extra power, generates extra heat, etc.

General :: Create An NFS Server That Boots From CD??

Apr 7, 2011

I would like to boot any PC and make it work as an NFS Server. I like the concepts of liveCDs as they usually have drivers to recognize current and prior hardware to some extent. However, I do not need any GUI or any other services/applications; only what is required to run the NFS server and possibly copy/move files between exported folders from the command line. Can a liveCD be modified with a script to boot up as an NFS Server based on the following list? How do go about creating a bootable NFS Server based on the following list?

The NFS Server should do this upon boot:

- Check for NIC - eth0(?)
- if not present, stop booting with error message.
- if present, assign a specific IP address, mask, gateway.

Ubuntu :: Best Way To Set Up Media Server Over WAN

May 25, 2010

I've recently come into the possession of a nice little pentium 4 box and I have a 1TB drive to go with it. I'm looking to make a media server out of it.

Setting up a server over my LAN was really simple to do with Firefly and Ubuntu's built in vino (remote desktop server). BUT I've run into the problem of not being able to serve my media outside of the LAN.

Now I realize that I could configure Remote Desktop in Ubuntu (10.04) to also allow connections from outside the LAN, but isn't there a better way of doing this? You know, streaming media WITHOUT using VNC?

Ubuntu :: Change The Mounting Point Of A Usb External Drive From '/media/disk' To '/media/Movies'

Jan 16, 2011

I was trying to change the mounting point of a usb external drive from '/media/disk' to '/media/Movies'

Here is were the stupid part takes over... I right clicked on the desktop icon for the device and selected Properties. From there I selected the Volume tab and in there I changed the mounting point to '/media/Movies' It accepted it and said the changed would take place when I unmounted it and remounted it. However, when I did this it now says it cannot be mounted as it says mount_point contains invalid characters usually /

Unfortunately, now I cannot get back into the properties to remove my error.

Ubuntu :: PS3 Media Server Tray Icon Looks Odd?

I have done a fair bit of Googling first but with no success...I am using PS3Media server to stream audio, video etc to my PlayStation. It works very well indeed on the PS3 end, but I have a slight annoyance that is messing with the nice look and feel of my Ubuntu desktop: The PS3 Media Server icon seems to have a grey background, whereas my panels all have dark transparency, this makes it stand out a mile.Is there any way of altering this icon? I was looking in the ..../pms-linux-1.10.5 folder but couldn't find much there.

Ubuntu :: Media Server Hosting Through VMware?

Aug 9, 2010

I put this in the General Help section since this potentially deals with multiple things. Without further ado...On my Desktop, My host OS is Windows 7 while thru VMware i have Ubuntu as a Guest OS. I know it's easier to just use Ubuntu solely on the Desktop to host it as a media server, but for certain reasons (family and friends mostly) I'm using VMware instead. My goal is to use my Ubuntu OS thru VMware for others in my household to access it. So far, my Windows host can pick it up the media it's sharing, but not the rest of the network. I know it has to do with the NAT that VMware uses, but what's the best way to configure it to where other laptops, and ps3's on the network can see it?

Ubuntu Servers :: Getting Alternative To WHS/media Server

Jan 3, 2011

I currently have a server running Windows Home Server and was wanting to know if Ubuntu Server could do the following requirements I currently enjoy

1. Media Streaming, to multiple devices simultaniously i.e. pc/xbob360/PS3 all at the same time. Possibly re-encoding OTF.

2. Remote Access, not just to the server but linking(so i can rdp to my main rig through the server from any internet location) to other systems on the "Home" Network both Linux and Windows.

3. Drive Pooling with redundancy, I want to be able to add and remove HDD and just have it expand the pool so current folders can just grow, but also have it duplicate or make redundant copies so if a HDD fails it can still be recovered.

4. Backup of machines on the network, either manual or scheduled, of both Linux and Windows machines

5. App sharing would be a plus but not required, so I could run a Linux app from the server seamlessly on my windows pc.

6. Basic file storage and browsable structure from windows machines.

I realise this may be a tall order and I don't expect it to be easy or straight forward in any way, but I really hate WHS, it has the slowest file access speed of any os i have ever seen, and is so buggy its unbelievable.
