[OT]

Hi all,

Is anyone based up the north end of Dorset/Sherborne way?

For my sins, I'm involved with a community radio station (Abbey104) and I'm
in need of a second pair of eyes for some of the stations ubuntu systems.

If youre interested email me off list.

Hi Dan, I live in Child Okeford South of Shaftesbury so probably too far 
(35 - 40 mins) away. I do most work 7 all development on Fedora, but 
have Ubuntu on 2 laptops and have installed it for neighbours on a 
number of machines. So if you are desperate come back to me.

Re: [Dorset] Package management using aptitude on Ubuntu server

I am only using the 'apt-get install' command to load things like an ssh

I only have a couple of 'dependency' problems. I'll probably leave those alone 
as the server seems to be functioning as it is. Maybe I'll take a look at them 
once I understand what I'm doing more.


I am surprised that you are encountering any problems of that sort with 
these standard services, hence the request for more information to try 
and troubleshoot the issue.


If you have a another fairly beefy machine that you can install 
something like VirtualBox on, it might be worth creating a virtual 
instance of Ubuntu Server that you can experiment with, to save you the 
bother of reinstalling when you hit issues.


The handy thing with this is that you can take snapshots before you 
attempt anything risky and quickly revert to a known good place if needs be.
