@scottalanmiller said in UbuntuVibes Asks Why Is Ubuntu So Popular On the Desktop:

For me it is what installed without incident. No issues at all on my Asus RoG that nothing else would install on. He isn't my first pick, but it is quite adequate.

FTFY

And it's what she said. 😛

@travisdh1 what issue are you referring too? As far as I recall everything that is needed is included in the appropriate script install/upgrade

It's git, not the scripts. Since you need to have your git user information entered for it to work, would be good to have it added to the instructions.

I don't understand. Do you have to have a github account and be logged in to be able to download anything from github?

I can reach this without being logged in:

No you don't have to actually have an account, it's a git requirement to put something in there though and we don't autofill that information in case someone wants to supply their account details.

That is interesting, ftp works but not http
He could try changing apt to use ftp instead of http in sources.list

also kolourpaint4

/proc/version usually has pertinent information across most systems.

Edit: I looked closer. It's just the OS name (RHEL/Ubuntu) and kernel version. Never mind.

I have a script I run that will remove them. Then I do the upgrade and add them back in via a script. I run a Ubuntu Server for the exact same reason you do. For a Unifi Controller

I've posted to Kopano's community to make sure that they can look into addressing this issue.

Samba 4 and samba-tool make getting up and running with AD on Linux pretty quick and easy.

Sounds nice, I'll need to make time to look at this.

@tjatwood109 said in ZFS is Perfectly Safe on Hardware RAID:

@scottalanmiller

Thanks - I will proceed without using ZFS - I prefer hardware RAID.

ZFS is perfectly fine with hardware RAID, if you like ZFS' features otherwise (like zsend is nice) then there's no reason to avoid it. If you don't plan to use any unique features, then XFS is my "go to" choice by default. Very fast, very stable.
