Ubuntu install checklist
Check list when installing my home server
1. install from dvd
2. enable restricted drivers
3. mount hds on startup
sudo vi /etc/fstab
Add following line for each hd:
UUID=aaabbcc /media/volume_3 ext4 defaults 0 0
Where aaabbbccc is the uuid from:
sudo blkid
* Ubuntu 10.04 has a bug in the order drives are mounted when using the ‘/dev/sda’ syntax.
4. fix shutdown bug
sudo vi /etc/default/grub
Change this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi=force"
5. Install ssh
6. Fix network address
7. Install mythtv & mythweb
– Use ivtv for pvr 150
– Pvr 150 cards have recording issues since ivtv has been included since kernel 2.6.26.
To fix this, go to backend setup tool -> local settings -> VBI format = none
8. NoMachine
9. Install vmware server
