Re: Name change of computer

John,

2 files you need to change from memory:

Code: Select all

sudo vim /etc/hosts

Code: Select all

sudo vim /etc/hostname
Once you've made the changes power-down the server. Then reboot the router. Then power the server back up again. This will ensure the router picks up the change and broadcasts it.

good luck.

Pete.

Hi Seam and welcome. This explains what a zombie process is better than I can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process To solve your problem don't log out of the GUI session, just close VNC.

Is the Cloud the end of the home media server?

Hi everyone, As per the question really. More and more these days I see these companies offering storage "in the cloud". Do you think home media servers will be a thing of the past and people will store everything up there? If so, when do you think that'll happen? Why aren't you "in t...

Re: The "introduce yourself" thread

@hotwire shame about the mobo not supporting virtualization. You can always use fake virtualization like virtualbox if need be. Have a look at PS3MediaServer (runs on linux) rather than mediatomb if i were you. See here for drive spindown: http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Configure-the-server/Spin-down...

Re: Samba Shares Not Working

Great first post Frank and welcome to the forums. :thumbup:

Unless I missed it you've not mentioned what happens when you try and access the server via Samba. I know you said it doesn't work but can you be more specific? do you get an error message or can it simply not see anything?

Pete.

Re: The "introduce yourself" thread

@Yoram,

What software are you using to stream to your PS3? Are you happy with it? What media-types are you streaming? Are you transcoding on the fly or is everything streamed natively?

Pete

Re: Squeezebox server - Ubuntu 10.10

Hi Murry,

Just answer "Y" to continue anyway with the installation. It's just a warning. Nothing to worry about.
