Q Any suggestions as to which type of server I should run to stream video and audio media? A (Thanks to rubylaser in the Ubuntu Forums) I'd suggest Plex Media Server. It's super easy to set up, and has Windows, Ubuntu and IOS clients for streaming playback (even remotely, if you port forward port 32400). Q Is there a way to remove the login drum-beat sound in Ubuntu 14.04? A (Thanks to Cliff_Simonds in the Ubuntu Forums) I use Ubuntu Tweak: go to the tweaks tab →STARTUP: login settings → down to “play login sound” on-off. Q How can I scan documents into searchable PDFs? A (Thanks to freewarelover in the Ubuntu Forums) Install gscan2pdf. It has an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) function.
Q Quel type de serveur proposez-vous sur lequel je puisse faire tourner de la video en flux continu et des fichiers audio ?
R (Merci à rubylaser dans les forums Ubuntu) Je vous suggère Plex Media Server. Il est facile à installer et il a des clients Windows, Ubuntu et iOS pour l'écoute en flux continu (même à distance, si vous …. port 32400).
Q Comment supprimer le son de login drum-beat dans Ubuntu 14.04 ?
R (Merci à Cliff Simonds dans les forums Ubuntu) J'utilise Ubuntu Twweaks : allez dans l'onglet des réglages → STARTUP ; paramètres de connexion → descendez jusqu'à “Jouer un son à la connexion oui-non.
Q I just installed Ubuntu as a remote media player. How can I control it from my Windows 7 computer? A (Thanks to HeroHog in the Ubuntu Forums) Use X11VNC on Ubuntu, and TightVNC in Windows. Q I'm thinking of getting a laptop. How can I find out which ones will work well with Ubuntu? A There are two message threads in the Ubuntu Forums which might help, and you can get to them from Google. One is the “laptop compatibility list,” and the other is the “laptop incompatibility list” I don't trust the latter; some people think the microphone doesn't work when it's just muted… If you are prepared to pay a little more, there are vendors which sell laptops with Ubuntu pre-installed. My preference is to use unetbootin to put the latest Ubuntu on a flash drive, and boot from it at the dealer's. See if sound works, the webcam (install Cheese), wireless, etc. (If you can see wireless networks, you don't actually need to connect to one.)
Q I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 and … A Before you can fix your problem, you need to update your system to a version of Ubuntu which is currently supported. As of right now, that means either 12.04 or 14.04 for the desktop versions. Q To compile my first program, I typed 'gcc -o test main.c'. However when I run the program in the terminal, I don't see anything. A (Thanks to trent.josephsen in the Ubuntu Forums) Test is a shell command. To run your compiled program, use this command: ./test

Tips and Techniques Server: Hoist by my own Petard Many times, a person has asked a question about Ubuntu Server, and I have responded, “use a GUI, where all the familiar tools are available. Try Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Mint with Mate, etc.” Then it happened: I needed to re-purpose an older computer as a special-purpose file server, with the maximum possible performance. I looked at options. Windows 8.1 Desktop is fine as a limited-purpose file server, but it probably won't deliver “the maximum possible performance.” FreeNAS has a great reputation, but it's a memory hog. OK, Ubuntu Server it is – with no GUI. My starting point was a core-duo computer with no hard drive. I added a hot-swap drive bay so I can change the shared drive when it fills up, and began with a 2 TB drive as the shared file space. The computer is so old that it won't boot from USB, so I installed a small hard drive to hold the OS.
Installing Ubuntu Server isn't much of a challenge, but there are a few tricks. I found that my life was a lot easier if I had Internet access during the installation, so the installed system would assume Internet access was available. During installation, you are asked what applications you want. First and foremost, I wanted Samba file server. When I also selected OpenSSH Server, I could control the server from another computer – from the very first time it booted. I wanted to run a “headless” server with no monitor and no keyboard, but the Dell BIOS complained, “keyboard failure, press F1 to continue,” and would not boot. OK, I had to leave the keyboard attached. To control the computer from Linux, I installed PuTTY from the repos on my normal desktop computer. To control it from Windows, I went to putty.org and downloaded the client program. One small, but important point: I have told our router that when the server's MAC address appears, it should get the IP address 192.168.1.70, so the file server has a static IP address on our LAN. Putty is a lot easier to use when it is connecting to a static IP address.
So now I'm at the command line, and need to master a few specifics. The first question is, how to automatically mount a second drive, which is not what I booted from. This helped: http://www.ghacks.net/2009/09/10/add-a-second-drive-to-your-ubuntu-server However, the first comment suggested using UUID, which took a little bit more research. The key command: sudo blkid Next, I needed to understand how to set up a shared folder using the command line. This helped: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html Even so, it took some experimenting to get the shared folder on the second drive, and make it mountable and writable from a Windows client computer. The key command: sudo chown nobody.nogroup foldername So, three technical issues to master, and all of them have good online tutorials. Because I already understood the terminology, it was much easier than I expected.
