Can a Mumble Server be hosted on a Ubuntu desktop?

Question

I am running Kubuntu 15.04 and I want to run my own Mumble Server. Is it possible to do off of the desktop or do you need to be running a Ubuntu server? I have tried setting it up via sudo apt-get install mumble-server and setting it up via sudo dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server then editing the .ini file and thought I would be good to go but alas, Connection Denied. I must be doing something wrong I am sure, I am totally new to setting up any kind of voice server. Any help would be appreciated or a kick in the direction of something along the lines of setting up Murmur for dummies as I couldn't find anything tailored towards a complete noob. Thanks in advance.

You should definitely be able to run a Mumble server on Ubuntu Desktop, although you may need to account for not having a static IP depending on your setup.

Try using the official Murmur Guide to set up the server. Also make sure you open the appropriate port for both UDP and TCP (default 64738) in your firewall if you have one.
