I know I had a legacy install on a Proliant I supported that was installed upside down and burnt out it's drives after a few years (surprised it lasted that long). When I came on-site to reinstall it, I tried to install 16.04 since I already had the install media on me, I couldn't as it had issues

@Michael - to remedy this, I've seen customers deploy things like super flat topologies with VPLSs to tie it all together. It's always fun to have to increase someones's mac table size as their apple TVs were edging out their DHCP servers. I know you're paying me to do this, but an obligatory

I suspect it may be 32Bit computer but it should give you a i386 hardware error during installation. while 18.04 is only 64 bit you can use the net install at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/bionic/ it has a community supported 32 bit version available On Mon, Dec 9, 2019 at 12:24 PM Stephen

OK, I'll narrow this down: We will have a router serving the same subnet in wireless and wire. We'll have a laptop with 2 interfaces, wifi0 and eth0. We'll not do any routing configuration beyond a default. Finally, this explanation is watered down to dilution because I don't have a lot of time

That's what this tool is trying to do. Give you a series of links into your accounts so allow you to open files directly from your system to your drive document or file. Gnome has this implementation set up by default, you just add your google account and it starts to work. On Mon, Dec 9, 2019 at

I have an older Proliant server I am trying to make use of at home. The hardware is fully functional, and aside from needing some spare drive sleds, It is ready to go. However, I cannot run 18.04 on the server and I suspect it is related to changes in the kernel and I am trying to map those. The
