@JaredBusch said in Create Internal CA for Windows LDAPs and Linux apps: @pmoncho said in Create Internal CA for Windows LDAPs and Linux apps: When I export the key, I want to export the private key as well? That depends. If you are only ever going to have devices using the key to auth against the DC that you created it on, then no. But if you need to install the cert on a device and then have another device auth to that first device, then that first device needs the private key. Thank you for the explanation.

@scottalanmiller said in Making an RDP Terminal Server with Ubuntu Linux: I recommend the Remmina RDP client tool, it's the bomb. I love Remmina as a client.

@IRJ said in Documenting Firewall Exceptions and Rules: @DustinB3403 said in Documenting Firewall Exceptions and Rules: I had to add some rules to a CentOS 8 server because some things stopped working that were previously working. (Not sure why this worked before, but it did) Adding a few rich rules resolved the issue immediately. None of this makes any sense. It's deny all and permit by exception. Why would you do anything else? That's the default, and that's what was working just fine for a long time. Suddenly it began "not working" and needed the exceptions made.

@black3dynamite said in Mouse Issues on Windows 2019 on KVM Through Virt-Manager: EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet is the default when selecting Server 2019 config template. That's the one. And the template didn't load properly when we selected it! It kept going back to Alpine!

@JaredBusch said in Deploying NodeBB 1.13 on CentOS 8 with MongoDB 4.2: You can only remove this line if you are going to host the reverse proxy on the same instance. No reverse proxy needed if you are going to just look at it locally without going over the network.

@dafyre said in How to mount remote filesystem over ssh (both Windows & Linux): @black3dynamite said in How to mount remote filesystem over ssh (both Windows & Linux): @dafyre Installing sshfs and winfsp via choco is older than the ones from GitHub. If you installed them via choco do this to mount at the host root directory or other directories. https://github.com/billziss-gh/sshfs-win/issues/102 Host root directory \\sshfs\remoteuser@host\..\.. Specific directory like /var/www \\sshfs\remoteuser@host\..\..\var\www Thanks for the pointer. I did install using choco. I'm able to make it work now. Edit: Just to see if I can, I may go back and do straight installs. As I said above with the latest version I mount the root directory with \\sshfs.r\user@host However, if you want to mount another directory like /var/www you have to do: \\sshfs.r\user@host\var\www\ The trailing \ is very important! It just doesn't work without it if your path is more than one directory deep. You also need to use backslash and not the forward slash.

@Obsolesce said in Ubuntu Adjust Screen Brightness: @scottalanmiller said in Ubuntu Adjust Screen Brightness: @Obsolesce said in Ubuntu Adjust Screen Brightness: @scottalanmiller said in Ubuntu Adjust Screen Brightness: @CCWTech said in Ubuntu Adjust Screen Brightness: @scottalanmiller said in Ubuntu Adjust Screen Brightness: On Ubuntu 19.10, there is a brightness setting on the power screen in settings. But it doesn't seem to do anything. You can slide it, but nothing happens. Anyone having luck adjusting screen brightness on Ubuntu? We've tested on multiple machines, all seem the same. Both Nvidia and AMD cards same lack of adjustment. Running 19.10 and I don't even have a brightness setting at all. I have it, but it affects nothing. Laptop or desktop monitor? I can't imagine it working on anything but a laptop. Desktop That's why. I know of no OS that controls monitor brightness unless it's a laptop/tablet/phone/etc. Never an external monitor with separate power source. Me either, but @CCWTech was asking for it. I've never looked for it before. No idea what it should do in that situation.

@JaredBusch said in Live boot: No he wasn't. he was helping someone else. Your response is both confirmation and denial to my question. I get that it's a definition about what live booting is. I was asking why was he posting it. You stated "No he wasn't" (wasn't what, helping someone?) and then said he was helping someone.

@scottalanmiller Thanks

Is there a reason that you are looking into Awk? Awk is a programming language that used to be popular for extension text processing in conjunction with BASH. But in the last decades, its use has fallen away and that is why you won't find examples of it. It's only used for very basic things now. Languages like Perl and Python supplanted it being easier to use, better known, more portable, and vastly more powerful. Awk is really a legacy tool today.

@StorageNinja said in Making a Raspberry Pi 4 or Similar SBC Desktop: @scottalanmiller said in Making a Raspberry Pi 4 or Similar SBC Desktop: RP4 with 4GB of RAM The problem with Pi (and frankly a lot of the low end ARM) is these things have incomplete UEFI bios etc. You currently need to really be working on one of the distro's designed for it (Which is likely fine for your use case). ARM and our engineers are working on this though.. Good point. Definitely an issue. Ubuntu, which is what we use, does make for them at least.

@Dashrender said in How do you find duplicates from Windows SMB shares using Linux: @JaredBusch said in How do you find duplicates from Windows SMB shares using Linux: @Dashrender said in How do you find duplicates from Windows SMB shares using Linux: @IRJ said in How do you find duplicates from Windows SMB shares using Linux: @Dashrender said in How do you find duplicates from Windows SMB shares using Linux: I wonder if this would run faster directly on the server in powershell instead? I'm assuming with doing this over SMB you have to download all files, run the hash - if ran locally, you get to skip the download time, I assume. I gathered that the SMB shares are hosted on Linux, but I could be wrong. If they are hosted on Windows like you are assuming, then I would agree that PowerShell would probably be most performant for this. The title says - Windows SMB Shares. My guess is that Dustin is a lone wolf running a 'nix OS as his machine - and the rest of the company is using Windows. Nothing wrong with that, just my guess. His company is significantly Mac. aww, that's right - he has been asking a lot of MAC questions lately. Unix questions to be more precise, but yeah we are a heavy Mac shop.

This is what I do when I use nohup. I usually create a file with the current pid just in case I need to stop it. nohup wget 'https://example.com/fedora.iso' > wget_fedora.log 2>&1 & echo $! > wget_fedora_pid.txt kill -9 `cat wget_fedora_pid.txt` rm wget_fedora_pid.txt

@stacksofplates said in Installing Hugo Static Website Generator on Linux: @scottalanmiller said in Installing Hugo Static Website Generator on Linux: @stacksofplates said in Installing Hugo Static Website Generator on Linux: @scottalanmiller said in Installing Hugo Static Website Generator on Linux: However, they don't have any standard Linux install documentation on their website and only show using Homebrew, a MacOS package that essentially no one on Linux uses. Very odd. I just looked. I'm not sure what you're talking about. The page clearly shows snaps, dnf, apt, pacman, eopgk, and pkg_add for OpenBSD. https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing Completely different than what I got from the same link this morning. I went to that page, clicked on Linux, and they only showed Brewlinux, which isn't even the current name of the system. Way back machine shows it's been there since at least the 13th. https://web.archive.org/web/20191113183617/https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/ Very weird. I wonder if it was a cache somewhere? I definitely poked around this morning and Linuxbrew was the only thing that it had and had it from every link that I tried on their site.

@rhya said in alternative way to copy stuff with read access: I am using fedora 22. Fedora 31 is current. F22 is insanely ancient.

@Francesco-Provino said in Nu Shell, a New PowerShell-inspired Shell for Linux: Nice, but why use this when we have the real PowerShell for Linux? Performance probably. And ease of use. And while PS is on Linux, does it process any Linux data in this way?

@scottalanmiller said in Linux OS Thoughts?: @JaredBusch said in Linux OS Thoughts?: @scottalanmiller said in Linux OS Thoughts?: @WrCombs said in Linux OS Thoughts?: @WrCombs said in Linux OS Thoughts?: @scottalanmiller said in Linux OS Thoughts?: @WrCombs said in Linux OS Thoughts?: @Dashrender said in Linux OS Thoughts?: Back to the OP. @WrCombs wants to things most likely... a desktop environment to run in - So Fedora or Ubuntu most likely... and then a separate "server" box to install Linux Server OSes on to experiment with to do things like - setup FreePBX, setup NC, setup file server, etc. yes. I could even VM those, right? or no? - Forgive the newbness, but I'm thinking a Desktop and then run a VM Boxes with server OS's to do what @Dashrender is saying and thoughts on which ones to try. Boxes is weird, but yes. Throw Fedora or Ubuntu onto a laptop or desktop, install KVM, and virtualize anything that you want. You get a fully functional, and gorgeous desktop environment, but can test any server OS or alternative desktop OS that you like. sounds like the likely chose.. I know they're out there; anyone got the link for the guides? for installing KVM ; I'll start another list of projects that I'm going to work on and go from there https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-kvm-on-fedora/ Did I not have a guide here on ML? For KVM on Fedora? Don't recall one. Apparently not. I just did some searching, and it is mostly posts and screenshots of the various things in other people's threads.

@IRJ said in Doublecheck the Security of Your Linux: Just a couple notes from the article: You cannot set a bootloader password for AWS or other cloud services Apt Armor is specific to Ubuntu / Debian. SELinux is used on RHEL / CentOS / Fedora AppArmor is default on SUSE as well. And you can run SELinux on Debian / Ubuntu if you want. BTW, AppArmor just replaced SELinux as default on Debian 10. So that was only a couple of months ago.

Thanks for the reply, the issue is that sanoid.conf does not send the snapshot to the usb but syncoid does, or does having that template automatic prune the snapshots?

@scottalanmiller said in Blank Screen After Fedora 30 Update to 5.3.5 Kernel on Dell Inspiron Laptop: Issue returned for the last two weeks even on Fedora 31. Luckily the old F30 kernel was still there because of the lock and continued to work. But the 5.4 kernel came out today and it works again. I've had no issues again

@black3dynamite said in Ubuntu Updates to 19.10: @Emad-R It's all great having numbers and visual aid to show results but will you really notice the difference when using Ubuntu compare Debian, assuming you are using the same desktop environment? That's the tough comparison. Ubuntu has more features and a different desktop. I specifically like Ubuntu's desktop. So going to Debian I'd likely modify it to the point of being Ubuntu, lol.

@Obsolesce said in City of Munich Moving to Closed Source Software: It looks like the whole issue was due to their use of some weird distro years ago. That article technically doesn't say why they need Windows now, so for all I know they have some new weird requirements I don't know about, but assuming they don't, I think the decision to go to Windows is a horrible idea. They'd be much better off going to Ubuntu instead. Yes I upvoted a post about how Ubuntu would be better than an alternative. Please no heart attacks people.

@wirestyle22 usually they are stored in /usr/local/bin that is why you can run them anywhere

@Obsolesce said in UREs Strike InnoDB on MySQL: @scottalanmiller said in UREs Strike InnoDB on MySQL: @Pete-S said in UREs Strike InnoDB on MySQL: Step one is to remove the drives and clone them with dd or recovery tool to a new drive. You could probably recover 99.9% of the data - if you want. As you can guess from all of their previous issues, they don't want to pay for any recovery, they just want it magically fixed for free. They don't own any storage onto which to clone it, either. Then what is the point of any of it? It appears to have zero value to the business. I said that to them.
