I ended up taking most of day off from my hobby because of real world distractions. But I did manage to get workgroup to work. Not sure how except that it was after at least one reboot for unrelated reasons. Also got my static ip's loaded and all looks well so far. Tried a couple of apps that worked...

Cleared caches (Firefox), checked and unchecked, got message about advanced features but then no difference. Still only "Details" option. Will keep trying with another browser/workstation. Thanks for confirmation on Apps. One other item of question - I exported a copy of the Ubuntu VB host...

Ok. That's what I thought about workgroup. However, when I go into setup followed by Shares, there is only once choice - Details. If I just go into Shares (no Setup first), the result is the same. And, under Details there is nothing. I've checked and double checked that Advanced Settings is indeed c...

Good news so far. I'm up and running with a newly built control panel. I've loaded many static ip and all looks well so far. DNS and DHCP definitely working as far as I can tell so far. Only thing is that I cannot get to the place to change workgroup name. Thought it was under setup and shares and s...

I did a quick look and noted. the price. If I'm interpreting it correctly it's around $5US per month per CPU. My server has 6 cores so that would be about $30US per month for me. Seems a little pricy for a home hobby like mine. Otherwise it does look interesting. Back to the rebuild for me today. Th...

Thanks for timely response. I'll probably rebuild as you suggest. I'll keep you posted. At this time I have too many machines and time invested in VB but I'm curious enough to look into it.

Im giving up in frustration and failure tonite after a day of little progress that's salvagable. The update didn't work because it said it didn't have enough space (RAM or harddrive, I dunno. Probably RAM?). The logs made little to no sense to me. I couldn't tell what was normal and what wasn't. Not...

Ok I'll check some of the logs. ssh is now denying me access so hopefully I can still get in thru the headless interface. Also, the profile was created new for this installation. I assume you mean initiating os update thru terminal/ssh interface or ?

Some progress. Right after installing Webmin app, the server crashed with the message about logging problem followed by message: Application error Rails application failed to start properly Rebooting server, shutting completely down and restarting does not fix problem. Not sure how to use problem lo...

Thanks for fast response. I tried as much of he wiki as I thought relevant. I also ran thru the troubleshooter and it didn't find anything. It referred me to the irc channel and I was lost. I logged in, I think, and then realized I was over my head. Don't think I found anyone but then I wouldn't kno...
