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

Restart NIC: 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... EDIT:
Or this may be better... (Google "nohup".)

Great POST "letsharehowto".

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

Keep up the good work!

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.
