Good work, thanks. Just some minor edits for consistency of naming of SME Server, See: http://wiki.contribs.org/Help:Wiki_Manual_of_Style. [[User:Trex|Terry Fage]] ([[User talk:Trex|talk]]) 14:48, 17 February 2013 (MST)

Using Xubuntu.
  −
  −
Made some minor chages where sudo is required.
  −
  −
Note that you need to set the hostname in /etc/hostname and update /etc/hosts to match the username or it will create a new machine account in /db/accounts and will give you an incorrect /home folder
  −
  −
Also found that the shares were mounted in /home/USER/share
  −
I didn't get a folder at /home/DOMAIN/share
  −
  −
Also getting these server log errors :

Lot of posts about regarding Win 7 Clients but not many on Linux. These may help but I am none the wiser :

“Made some minor chages where sudo is required. “ Not required, the HowTo clearly states that sudo su should be used for root privileges.
  −
  −
I have never found it necessary to change /etc/hostname or /etc/hosts and never had an incorrect home folder.
  −
  −
I have setup several computers using this HowTo and shares have always been mounted in the correct folder at /home/DOMAIN/username/share.
  −
  −
I do not understand the point of the comment regarding Window 7 clients, it's obvious that Windows is more widely used but this HowTo has nothing to do with Windows and is directed at those who have seen the light and want help with a better OS.
  −
  −
Using sudo at a terminal on the client does give some errors but not all those highlighted above, maybe the HowTo was not followed correctly or maybe it does not work with Xubuntu.
  −
  −
Synaptic is no longer installed by default in Ubuntu although I believe it is still used by some distros based on Ubuntu. There has been a bug in Synaptic which prevents it loading from the menu. There is a simple workaround which I have tested and which works, I will add it to the HowTo if it's still considered worthwhile continuing.
  −
  −
It seems this HowTo throws up several error messages but it does seem to work therefore what is the consensus, do I continue or shall I scrap it due to the error messages? [[User:Relayer|Relayer]] ([[User talk:Relayer|talk]]) 15:01, 22 February 2013 (MST)

Relayer, Excellent work. I found the above problems when I followed your instructions on Xubuntu - it may be worth you trying a VM install and seeing if you can repeat them.
  −
  −
hosts/hostname were a problem for me as they did not match the names on the server - I noticed the server created a new machine name which was not necessary - my machines were named 'username-xubuntu' so I changed it to just 'username'
  −
  −
Mounts were an issue but no idea why.
  −
  −
Windows 7 - it was due to the log errors I noticed as above. I was getting those errors and searched for an answer - Win 7 clients commonly tend to generate them on the server, but not many linux clients, so I was making a note.
  −
  −
Regarding the terminal errors, I am sure it is due to some misconfiguration on Xubuntu but do not know what.
  −
  −
Synaptic isn't installed on Xubuntu, but I always add it. I am sure many others do. It threw an error so I reported it - not a criticism, but a fact :-) If you have a woraround, then please add a note box that there is a potential problem with Synaptic, and the workarounds.
