I'd like to put my new Dell desktop (Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop) on my home network in place of an old PC running Windows XP and acting as host for the network and server for printers, etc. Is the Server version required for this, and if so, can it install easily over the Desktop version?
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to install some administrative tools under the System -> Administration tab of the Desktop edition of Ubuntu, so that xinetd, chkconfig, netservices, etc can be controlled? I am left with an uneasy feeling about my Desktop version, and finding that it is running services that I really do not want to allow. Apache2 is running for example, but I really am not a web server (yet). Another service is strigi, the indexer. I prefer to have it turned off at times.What administrative tools does Ubuntu offer that can be placed in the sys-admin tab?

If I have to overwrite, I don't know if this will be done automatically when re-installing or If the new Ubuntu Server will be stored elsewhere on my HDD.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an Ubuntu 10.04 server. It gets its IP address by DHCP (the router has a fixed reservation so it always gets the same one). However, it needs its nameserver to be itself, and not the DNS servers given out by the router. How can I make dhcp not overwrite resolve.conf?
(Yes I know I could just set a static IP. But I'm testing stuff out here, and want to know if it can be done without doing that.)

But phpmyadmin shows this error; "Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.83 differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.41" I have followed the Zend online docs and used a DEB install. Why would these versions be different?how do I fix it so that the two are in sync?

What I am trying to achieve is a similar system to how windows networks.I have a folder on my server (/var/www) and I would like to share it via NFS so that when the server is on a folder appears in the network folder of my desktop and I am able to add, edit and delete folders and files as my non-root user (ryan). So far I have managed to install the NFS server and client and configured /etc/exports as so
Code:
/var/www/ *(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
I have then been able to mount the folder to my client using:
/etc/auto.master
Code:
/home/server /etc/auto.server --ghost --timeout=60
/etc/auto.server
Code:
www 192.168.2.80:/var/www
This isn't what I want and I was still unable to add, edit or delete folders and files.
I have a server running Ubuntu Server (Natty), originally I ran Ubuntu Desktop (Natty) and that worked fine especially since it already had the drivers for my Netgear WG111v2 wireless dongle. The server does not have this feature, I was wondering if their is a repo somewhere that has all the drivers included with Ubuntu Desktop for Ubuntu Server?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been running 10.10 server with no GUI for a few months without issue. I decided to install ubuntu desktop (GUI), because I want to turn it into a media server, and I'm finding that my Internet browsing fails intermittently. i.e. I can get [URL] sometimes and sometimes not. I have tried traceroute and found that I do not reach my local router on addresses that fail, and yet I get a full trace on addresses that are ok. Ping tests too.I remember from some time ago that the GUI may cause a network problem but I'm not sure.
By the way, other computers on the network can access this host through Samba so the NIC is working fine.
I created a Symbolic link for ifstate from /etc/network/run to /var/run (/var/run is mounted as tmpfs) and I can write to and from the file perfectly fine, but when trying to start the network I get "Failed to overwrite statefile Read only file-system".

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've noticed something strange in the behavior of how Ubuntu server obtains it's IP address versus Ubuntu desktop and other versions of linux and Windows. When Ubuntu desktop obtains an IP address from my router that address is retained from one bootup to the next, same behavior as Windows, SuSE, and pretty much any other OS. Ubuntu server on the other hand grabs a different IP address everytime it boots. At first I guessed it was a difference in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf so I replaced it with the dhclient.conf from Ubuntu desktop but no dice, it still grabs a new address every time.
In /etc/network/interfaces Ubuntu server defines the loopback interface and primary network interface, just as it should but Ubuntu desktop does not define the network interface, only the loopback interface. I'm guessing something else controls does this. Desktop appears to be storing previous IP lease information in /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases but server doesn't, /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases is always empty and there's no other files in /var/lib/dhcp3/.
Apparently something isn't writing old lease info there. Without setting a static IP address, how can Ubuntu server be configured to retain the same IP address between boots like Ubuntu desktop?I'm using Ubuntu server 8.04LTS, Ubuntu desktop 9.10 & 9.04, SuSE 11.0, Linux Mint, Windows XP, pfSense 1.2.2 as router.
Ok so i have a IOn based PC that i use for only xbmc. I previously had a full ubuntu 9.11 install.
I had to reformat the drive but i could not get audio working. I gave the ION Optimized live CD a go and it worked with HDMI audio running perfectly. The thing is when i close xbmc i don't have a desktop, it just goes to command line.
I need to install lirc, copy some keymap files into my xbmc folder and then setup wireless. What would be the best way? Can it all be done through command line? Can i install a desktop environment?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install the desktop version on my laptop but i'm having an issues. I wrote the .iso file on a CD and restart my pc to boot. So -> the pc founds the medium, i'm choosing the language, i'm choosing "Install ubuntu" and nothing happens. The dots srarts to blink and that's all. When i press anykey opens an cmd promt (something like that) and there's a lot of errors - for example: ... file failed to open due to unknown user id", some files are missing and so on. I tried "try ubuntu without installing" but the same thing. I hear a sound (i guess this the "srart sound" of ubuntu) and that's all. The orange screen, the icon in the middle and the blinking dots. I made two CDs - one burned with win 7 integrated soft - right click and "burn disk image", and other burned with infra recorder. Nothing changes.
