I installed 16.04 then had much frustration trying to setup VNC which 3 months ago had not supported this build!
I looked around and came across X2Go which not only is simplicity it's seft to setup but, in my opinion, is a much better product.

Hi All,
I'm currently looking to set up a Kodi 'multi client' system using MySQL on a Ubuntu 12.04 server with Android boxes as clients for each TV.
My question, is there a way to transfer one clients set up ( i.e. Kodi settings which in my case are quite extensive) to each of the others?
thanks
Geoff

Hi All, Just to close this thread. Kodi worked it's magic and eventually scraped all my Movie, TV and Music files. One thing I've learned is that Kodi may take a number of days to initiate any major changes such as initial set up of large collections. Any way all's well that ends well. p.s I did not...

Hi, Following years of great service from my Server (12.04) having followed Ian's methods it's time to improve further. I would like to again follow Ian's method with Kodi using MySQL via Android boxes. I'm currently trialling Kodi on a Windows PC feeding from my Movie collection. My problem is the ...

Hi All I've had my server up and running now for a couple of months. It's working well on the main task of seeding via Deluge. I've also set up drives sharing with my Windows 7 Desktop (although the server is not recognised on the Network until I input its name via windows explorer (\\server1) !!) I...

Hi there, You're not the first person to hit either of these problems so clearly my guide is not up to par. I suspect this new issue is down to you not giving write permissions in Ubuntu for the relevant folder(s). So, assuming you have given write permission in Samba (when you set the samba share ...

Ian hi, Yes got the warning message and selected 'proceed anyway'. This morning I've cleared the history out of Chrome, tried again, got warning message, selected 'proceed anyway', login failed! I then went back to Ubuntu Server and issued your 'sudo /usr/share/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin root ...

Ian,
Ran command,ok.
Tried again in Chrome, failed login!
Tried in Firefox, failed login!
Note that in Chrome from address https://server1:10000 it cancels Https and returns address server1.local:10000 then login fails.

Ian,
Had a look at the link and things seem to be as expected.
I get the login but Webmin won't accept either the username, root, or password!
