Video organizer/tagger/streamer

Hello, I have set up my server, and notice in software, it has MythTV, which seems more aimed at a TV card. I live in Taiwan, but am American, so for me, the TV here is horrible... The way I have made my adjustment to this is by finding a good torrent site and downloading the TV shows and movies I l...

Re: Should I install Ubuntu 11.04?

I actually installed with the 11.04. The one thing I am getting lost on is why my VCN is closing my windows, or at least minimizing, when I use the d key on my keyboard... I notice Ian mentioned this earlier, and wondering how to work around this issue, because it is really annoying trying to type i...

Re: Wi-Fi card on server

Well, I was able to download the drivers through the manufacturers website, since mine was not on that support forum.

Wi-Fi card on server

Ok, first I guess I will give the basic setup information. My VDSL and router is located in my bedroom, but because of the heat, I do not want to install the server in my bedroom.

Synaptic package manager password

I ran across something odd, and am wondering if anyone else has seen this issue.
When I try to start my synaptic package manager in VNC, it asks for my password.
Ok, I know my password, I insert it, and I get an error saying incorrect password.

Any idea what my problem may be?
