Note, this assumes that you are already familiar with using dd. I was wondering if you could do a dd image copy through ssh and a network. The answer is: YES! It is a pain in the posterior to have to physically connect backup media to the computer. No mas! I had some syntax errors […]

Numlock engages when screensaver activated for Ubuntu 18.04
Posted by Wayno Published in debugging, Misc. other devices/things, XfceI have the opposite problem of Numlock always off. Numlock is turned on (engages) when the screensaver is first activated. The option is indeed turned off in the lightdm greeter. nwayno@bart:/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d$ cat 50-xubuntu-numlock.conf [Seat:*] greeter-setup-script=xubuntu-numlockx off That status shows numlock status as off. nwayno@bart:~$ numlockx status Numlock is off nwayno@bart:~$ In addition I added sleep […]

What a learning curve. If you will notice, pkill-9.com is now secured via secure sockets layer. Thanks to namecheap.com. It was $9/year for an ssl certificate through name cheap, vs $75 through godaddy. Interesting learning process. Thanks for your Patience! Wayno

And so….We are doing SSL
Posted by Wayno Published in DNS - Domain Name System, Security, Skill Level: MediumI am trying to get SSL certification done, via 3rd party. I am using namecheap.com. Doing 3rd party registration requires a lot more effort on my part (this is all brand new to me), but $9 year with namecheap vs $75 for godaddy — that was a no brainer. Wayno

So you accidentally clicked on the “Do not show again.” Doh! We’ve all done that. This is an easy way to reset the notifications and popups, courtesy of the folks at the Linux Mint Forum.

How to set default applications in xubuntu (xfce)
Posted by Wayno Published in howto, Skill Level: Medium, XfceBoy. Did this take a lot of schlepping to figure out. I use xubuntu/xfce because the extra keystrokes/mouse clicks required with gnome 3, puts undue stress on my repetitive stress injury. And the interface is dead simple. Normally changing the default application in Linux is pretty easy. For example (Thanks Joe): And that is what […]

ThioJoe’s explanation of Net Neutrality is the best I have found. The future of the Internet as we know it is at stake. It’s time to write to your representatives, and ask them to enact a law prohibiting the Federal Communications Commission from dismantling Net Neutrality. Wayno

How to save the vpn password in ubuntu
Posted by Wayno Published in howto, Linux Networking, Security, Skill Level: MediumWoW. This was messier then it needs to be, but this does work. I have tried it with xubuntu and ubuntu mate successfully. As you know, the password area is grayed out. I use PureVpn as a Virtual Private Network provider. But this works with any provider. This is a ppp (point-to-point) connection, which is […]

A lot of people have asked for a sample .bashrc script. This is nothing fancy. It exits if the script is not executed interactively, turns on the colour prompts, sources .bash_aliases, adds /usr/sbin so some commands are executable (for debian mostly) #!/bin/bash #————————————————————- # Wayno’s .bashrc script # v 3.0 11/05/2017 #————————————————————- # If not […]

Many have asked — Where’s Wayno? We haven’t heard from you in quite sometime. Are you dead? (Not dead yet!) John Lennon said: Life is what happens, while you are busy doing other things. I have been busy with business of life. Several people have encouraged me to put my hand to the plow again, […]
