Ubuntu 18.04lts headless I've searched online and I find problems reported with the Ubuntu Apport package - which reports crashes, ironically. But nothing helps me solve my problem. A couple years ago something broke in my install and I could no longer update it. Then my Logitech Squeezebox died. Th...

well, again, I don't now know how you're copying files; drag-and-drop; rsync; etc. there are, of course, error logs for the ubuntu server which might say why it crashed; IDK. if the ubuntu server is on old hardware - ie small ram and slower cpu - it might be overloaded. I suggest trying to rsync a f...

I know nothing about Synology NAS devices. However, it seems they might run a version of Linux. If so, the easiest/fastest thing to do might be to use the rsync command - which will sync all the files from your Synology NAS to your Ubuntu box. This link is about how to copy to a Synology NAS using r...

Eventually, I found a program that allowed me to do this - but it has a GUI. Sadly, I can't recall the name and if it runs only with a GUI. ...

seems musicip has all but vanished from the internet. anyone know where to get it? thanks.

where did you get the MusicIP software - because I cannot find it anywhere.

Hi. Yes, many things on this site are out-of-date. I use a nightly build - a beta version - LMS. You can view some here: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.9 This is obviously for version 7.9. If you want a different version choose from one: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/ Wha...

I want to build a low-power server. I learned from a recent vacation that my computers eat up a lot more electricity than I thought. I have an Ubuntu media server - I used this site several years ago to help build it. It has six drives, not counting the solid state drive with the OS. I have the driv...
