Ubuntu does something that I don't understand, and it's biting me at the moment.
I'm writing this from a laptop running Ubuntu 12.04. I have a Linksys WRT54G router. Last week, my office machine was running Ubuntu 12.04, named "servo". This machine would identify it as "servo.local", so I could "ping servo.local", "ssh [email protected]", "svn <command> svn://servo.local/<repository>", etc. I had Samba running on the office machine, and could see it from this computer's file browser. The need to upgrade to 14.04 was pressing, so I upgraded the office machine to Lubuntu 14.04, and installed Samba. Now I can see Servo from this computer, and I can get to its files using Samba, but all the "pure linux" apps can't identify it by name -- even though I can ping my wife's Windows machine by name!!! Does anyone know how to resolve this? We use the office machine as our svn server and I have my kid writing software for me this summer. If worse comes to absolute worst I'll just assign the thing an ethernet address off the router's DHCP table, but I'd rather not have to manage a bunch of fixed IP addresses if I can help it. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
