For Fedora you can just do sudo dnf install vagrant-libvirt

And it should be noted, that unlike SMB or NFS shares that would be generally frowned upon to use over the Internet, SFTP is heavily encrypted and very secure and is often used over public networks.

I am too spoiled on how to configure auto updates for Fedora and CentOS. yeah this is actually easier than fedora imo I don't know about that. I've done so many setups now that I script it. # Install dnf-automatic sudo dnf -y install dnf-automatic [email protected] [email protected] EMAILHOST=smtp.domain.com sudo sed -i "s|^email_to = root|email_to = ${EMAILTO}|" /etc/dnf/automatic.conf sudo sed -i 's|^apply_updates = no|apply_updates = yes|' /etc/dnf/automatic.conf sudo sed -i 's|^emit_via = stdio|emit_via = email|' /etc/dnf/automatic.conf sudo sed -i "s|^email_from = [email protected]|email_from = ${EMAILFROM}|" /etc/dnf/automatic.conf # Enable and Start dnf-automatic.timer sudo systemctl enable --now dnf-automatic.timer Are you installing postfix as well? No, but I do have a postfix relay server setup for that purpose. Where do you configure that on the client? Looking over my post, I left out the email_host setting. You will enter the name, domain or IP address of the email host

@Emad-R said in Ubuntu: history -c doesn't clear: @gjacobse you can disable history all together if you want, https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/disable-bash-shell-history-linux/ Thank you, I have seen that. But I use history as a track of what I have installed and how I did it. I clear it periodically once I have exported it to a text file. I do this also to share with my brother - as he's asked me how I've done something a number of times.

@scottalanmiller said in Ubuntu: System Program Problem detected: That's a desktop pop up, but Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Why the combination of old Ubuntu, but a desktop? Why 18.04 - Well,.. very long obtuse story cut short. having re-installed Ubuntu a time or two due to software / boot issues, I hadn't upgraded to 'save time and stress.' I felt not push to upgrade to 18.10 if I had to yet again kill and install the system. However, things appear stable - so upgrading currently. I do see on the article, that the crashes could be past - and as such, i can delete the files (several days old) and move on.

@dafyre said in Running Xrdp on Ubuntu: Not sure what to do about the EFI issue.... What I do when I want to use mine like that is set up x11vnc-server and then run it through XRDP (and choose the console option). It's faster than stock VNC... Don't ask me why, lol. I haven't gotten instructions for that yet, I don't think. If I remember right, after a reboot, you have to connect, close the connection, and then reconnect back using the XRDP+VNC option. I don't have any installation instructions for that setup on hand though. I can work it out and post them if you like. This is likely where I went 'rouge' in that I didn't use x11vnc-server.. I had notes on that,.. at least I believe and have misplaced them. so I had forget that. As I was starting to have other 'OS' Kernel issues (the mouse and keyboard wasn't working correctly) I nuked that partition from Windows, and will rebuild. Maybe it'll survive as I am of course getting grub 'errors' since that partition is gone.

Talking to my brother, he mentioned some 'issues' with Windows not releasing the lock on the partition. He suggested and this is the really dumb part on windows. To boot Windows and RESTART normally. Since grub starts Ubuntu by default, it booted normally into Ubuntu. I did the lsblk -f as before, only this time for /dev/sda4 - there is a UID for it. AND it shows as NTFS.. so,.. FFS Windows,.. FYS. now,.. to see how to prevent this stupidness in the future. This why someone suggested that you go into Windows and do a full shutdown with shift shutdown.... normal shutdowns now aren’t full shut downs to allow the system to boot faster. But he did that and it made no difference Yup - a FULL shutdown didn't do anything more that the SHIFT shutdown.

Nice Guide! I did this all and automated it for LXQ

@jaredbusch said in Error While Updating Ubuntu 18.04 to 18.10: Always reboot before doing system updates, IMO. It was freshly powered up just to do the update. So it was.

@momurda said in Fix OpenVAS when not starting Scans: @dbeato does getting this to run on ubuntu still require to load fan-made repos? If this repo add-apt-repository ppa:mrazavi/openvas is fan-made, yes it is

@ccwtech said in Unifi 5.7 on Ubuntu 18.04: Scott, why did you go with Ubuntu vs. Fedora? (Asking for a friend) Because it's the official OS of the product. Absolutely no reason to use Fedora here. Unifi only supports Ubuntu and Debian, and Jared and I have opposite views here. Ubuntu is the business product of the Debian family, Debian is the hobby project that is used as the basis for it. Debian is great, I love the project and they do great work, but it doesn't have primary vendor support, you are at the mercy of a hobby project. Ubuntu uses that basis and turns it into a production ready release with vendor and market support options. Ubuntu isn't Fedora, but it's still extremely good.

@scottalanmiller said in Ubuntu 18.04 adding Minimal Install: @jaredbusch said in Ubuntu 18.04 adding Minimal Install: @dbeato said in Ubuntu 18.04 adding Minimal Install: @aaronstuder said in Ubuntu 18.04 adding Minimal Install: Seems like a good move https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/02/ubuntu-18-04-minimal-install-option I thought they had it already, I have been using the net install for a long time in Debian and Ubuntu https://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads Minimal Install != Net Install Net Install is more "Minimal Download" rather than "Minimal Install" Correct. A NetInstall is a small initial download because it installs whichever version from direct net downloads after selection. I always use the NetInstall download for Fedora/CentOS because that is the only way to get a solid "Minimal Install". But I also installed my full desktop from a NetInstall image.
