Hi there and welcome to the forums :thumbup: There is no real order. Basically all you really need to do is install Ubuntu. Everything after that is down to personal preference. For example, if you want to be able to administer your server from another machine on your network then you should install...

Hi,

Hi guys,

I've now updated my vnc guide for 14.04 and it seems to be working as expected. Not quite as great as the good old days but better than before: VNC on Trust Tahr 14.04LTS

Hi there,

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

Code: Select all

sudo do-release-upgrade

Obviously back up your data first

Hi Zulu,

Well done for getting to the bottom of it.

Alas I don't have an explanation for why your path was different to mine. I did a fresh install on 14.04 using my guide and that's the path where the auth file was sitting.
