So I spent part of today trying to set up an NFS mount on an Ubuntu server earlier today, and kept running into problems.

Fortunately, I found out what was causing the issue.

To hopefully save someone else some trouble, I want to share what I discovered in case anyone else runs into the same issue.

My first step was to run the command "sudo apt nfs-kernal-server" on the Linux server.

I kept getting the error message "Unable to locate package nfs-kernal-server".

I tried a bunch of things. Checking repositories. Checking router settings. Checking firewalls. Nothing seemed to work!

Then I noticed the source of my troubles.

Turns out the command I was looking for was "sudo apt nfs-kernel-server". With an "e" in kernel.

So what does it mean if you run into this same issue?

Probably that you grew up with a Commodore 64 or an Amiga as your first computer.
