Ive started building a server for home purposes: Here's the thread where I talk about it
Its been a few days and Im past the build stage finally, but Ive run into an other bump in the road. I chose ubuntu server (latest LTS -14.04?-) and have been happily jaunting down the road of a headless server. I set about initial hardening after install and lazily shutdown with the power switch when I was done. Today I cannot ssh into the machine and finally just reinstalled so I could quit looking for the answer. Now, I am hardening again but dont want to repeat my lazy mistake. What is the correct way to shutdown my system?
Will
be enough? or is there a better procedure?
Another question quickly if I may? Is there a way to get use a GUI to ssh? I experimented with installing a GUI (Im Linux handicapped and need one for now. Im barely comfortable with the CLI) and it works on the monitor but now when I ssh into the machine (and as I explained this machine is meant to be headless) ? Thanks in advance
