    [SOLVED] Re: BIOS corrupted after Ubuntu install

    No. Ubuntu installs don't touch the BIOS. Download a fresh BIOS (perhaps an upgrade) from the motherboard vendor and install that using the MB vendor instructions, then try booting into Try Ubuntu ...

    [ubuntu] Re: No ssh, samba or plex after update

    Unlikely the issue is with the install. None of my 22.04 systems (patched yesterday) have any network issues.

    I'd suggest you try to ping by IP address other devices on the LAN and on the...

    Safe is a judgement call. Only you can decide if the PPA is reputable for your needs. Every repo or PPA effectively has root access to your system. If you are running code from a project already...

  6. Re: Error when running ansible-playbook from ubuntu20.04 ansible server to ubuntu24.0

    Agreed. The general idea was for back of napkin thoughts. Always get the details before a purchase.

    Don't confuse encoding with the file container. ogg is a file container. Vorbis is an encoding. Same for opus - it is an encoding.

    Re: curlftpfs

    Nobody should be using plain FTP since 2002. Use a better protocol.

    Heck, use sshfs instead. Combined with ssh-keys, it is seamless, assuming you won't use NFS.
