Installation and Upgrades / Move Hard drive from HP to DELL computer

« on: August 18, 2022, 08:02:52 pm »

I am already guessing the answer here; however, I just want to ask and get a second opinion...

I just replaced a failed system hard drive and reinstalled EVERYTHING... Everything is running perfectly now... except the old computer (i7 first ed)  has decided to show its age... 
NOTE: This is a very low demand server; however, Plex media server has started to say not enough horse power

So is there any chance of just removing my new hard drive from an HP and dropping it into a Newer Dell (and saving me a lot of work...)

I assume no (given my Windows experience); however, I have HIGH HOPES Linux will show yet how much better it is...

Thanks,
Jeff Little

Installation and Upgrades / [Solved] Issues since upgrading to 7.0 March 12, 2021

« on: March 16, 2021, 01:10:59 pm »

Since upgrading I have experienced the following issues. 
(Perhaps a numbered list would help others add to the list and when resolved the list can be updated)

1010 - GUI Issues
1011 - GUI - Any option with additional items (Click multiple options show in the GUI they have "<") none work
1012 - GUI DNS - it opens; however, clicking to change things on that menu fails

1020 - DNS issues - I join others knowing there are DNS issues; however, due to the GUI issues and my limited LINUX experience - not much I can try.  I can and will use the cmd line, I just don't know where to start yet.

Installation and Upgrades / December 5 - Still no upgrade button to 6.x

« on: December 05, 2018, 04:41:30 pm »

I still don't see the button.  Is something wrong, or should I continue to wait.

I see an upgrade to 5.1.3 and clicking it takes me to a web site, instead of upgrading...

Any clues or just reinstall 6.x from scratch (tiny user environment, so not too hard to do)

Thanks,
Jeff

Installation and Upgrades / Ubuntu message using SSH - Upgrade from 14.04 LTS to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

« on: September 12, 2016, 03:17:31 pm »

Here is the message that greeted me today...  Mind you I am following the principle "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" at this point, and I know this would probably break my server....  Any word when an update MIGHT appear?

This is a Zentyal Server (Development Edition).

Installation and Upgrades / SAMBA created shares

« on: August 15, 2014, 09:13:10 pm »

First, to get it up front, I am new to Linux, Samba, Ubuntu, and Zentyal.  I am trying to make the move from Microsoft....

I have my Zentyal Server 3.5 up and going.  I have joined 2 workstations to the new Samba created Active Directory Domain.

I have created a share \win-srv\share\T  and shared it (as "T") with the GUI allowing me (administrator access)

When I try to copy from my Windows workstation to \\zentyal\T I get two strange results
1. When I drag the whole pile of files and folders my windows wks says - not enough space
2. From windows I can move single files OR a folder with just files in it.  However if the folder has folders = not enough space.

I have about 1.5 Tb free space, so space is not an issue.  I also found the commands to disable quotas and did that too.

Thanks for any assistance.
