Selinux cannot be the problem with SSH, if you haven't changed the SSH server listening port. Selinux has sane defaults for SSH, much less for other application… one of the bigger concern in learning RHEL/CentOS is not how to make everything running, but how to run it with Selinux ENFORCED.

Of course, never disable Selinux. Never.
It's maybe the most valuable security feature on the whole Linux ecosystem.

If you want your firewall on, and you should, you need to enable it. It's name is firewalld.

@scottalanmiller Skype got working installation done from Software Center

That makes things easier 🙂

@scottalanmiller The OS is good to use for the beginner and it is confusion free

@Lakshmana said in Pclinux OS Issue:

@Lakshmana what is the option here???

Just pay attention and select the right partitions for installing Fedora 25. That's about it. You can't take a backup or move the data elsewhere so you don't have many options.

Either use ACLs/Permissions or encrypt your data. You could use an encrypted loopback device (~"image file") for example, but this requires some background knowledge about the underlying technology.

ACLs are to prevent other users accessing files. Encryption is to stop thieves who steal the drives from accessing them.

Sure but encryption can act as a type of ACL.

Kind of, a shared password kind of ACL.

Sure. Same as group based ACLs. But it's only shared if someone else has your password.

Not really a list unless you do 🙂

Never used EPA scan, I'm afraid.

Why? Android doesn't run on iPhone, iPhone is used as a display here.

DVDFab - Yes (I have it installed on a laptop)

DVDShrink - from their page it doesn't seem to.

@Lakshmana Get a good book and work from console. There's a reason a lot of languages do it like that. Do all the practice exercises for each section until you get them right and understand them.

@Lakshmana said in Issue Started in terminal for Wifi Drivers at Xubuntu:

@thwr I have seen usbmodswitch as the alternative for the USB stick.but many dependency need to download the same whether the full package can be downloaded from any sites ?

usbmodeswitch should do just fine. I'm not absolutely sure, but I think I've used that before with some Huawei-based UMTS stick.

Right, until he gets the internet working.

No, it's not that. The wifi is just for the initial setup. The laptop is actually going to be used offline. He has many posts going back for months about this. He's stuck working in an offline situation all of the time.

Ah I didn't see those. Well then never mind. I thought he was just offline because he didn't get the cell dongle working.

That's his reason for the moment. But the dongle was after we told him that having some way to get Internet would make installing drivers easier because he was doing complicated things offline making them so much worse.

Ya I didn't have any background context so I was just going off of what was in that specific thread and one other where he was having issues with the cell dongle.

His info is spread out all over 🙂 He tends to hit a lot of topics all at once, then wait a bit, and a lot again. It's hard to keep track.

What made you look at Budgie?

@stacksofplates said in MTS Data Card issue in Ubuntu 17.04:

Just as an aside, 17.04 hasn't even been released yet. Why are you trying to install on this release?

It's a LONG way from being released, too. It's nowhere near beta.

@black3dynamite said in Chrome Browser in Ubuntu 17.04:

Installing Google Chrome automatically add the Google repo. So no worries about huge attack surface and it's kept up to date.

Good to know, I did not know that the deb package added that for you.

@Lakshmana said in Wine for Ubuntu 17.04:

@Reid-Cooper I accept both Scott and Reid Advise not to use the Wine in Future

Our job here is done 🙂
