Hi there, I’ve been trying to setup a home media server with the service “atomic toolkit” (http://www.htpcbeginner.com/atomic-toolkit/). It was all running great in ubuntu until I got to inputting my ubuntu username within the setup script. No matter what I tried (root, ect…) nothing would work. I’d just keep getting the same output saying that my ubuntu username was wrong. If you guys could help shed any light on this, it would be much appreciated. :)

Solved: you need to create a new user rather than root and use that one :)
