I've added these instruction to the wiki, since the instructions for ubuntu server compiling ffmpeg from source didn't work:

Restart NIC:

Code: Select all

sudo ifdown -a
sudo ifup -a

If someone runs sudo ifdown -a remotely via SSH, they will be locked out until they run sudo ifup -a locally at the Ubuntu server.

This may be a better alternative, although I haven't tried it...

Code: Select all

sudo service network restart

EDIT:
Or this may be better...

Code: Select all

nohup service network restart

(Google "nohup".)

Great POST "letsharehowto".

Everytime you have posted, it's worked like a charm for me.

Keep up the good work!

Create root account:

Code: Select all

sudo passwd root

And later do everything with root too.

After success, would it be wise to remove the root account for security reasons? If so, what's the command?

Thanks.

The root user can't be removed. Is the main system user.
