    Re: Should I use Ubuntu for gaming?

    I find Ubuntu usually works well for gaming. A lot may depend on which video card you have and the available drivers. For example, I find my games tend to run smoother on Intel or NVIDIA cards...

    Re: App Armor vs. chroot jail

    You do not need a GUI to run virtualized machines. KVM will run fine without a GUI (though GUI tools are available). With KVM you don't even need to run the manager software on the same machine. You...

    Re: App Armor vs. chroot jail

    If you want to keep your services isolated from the host, then virtual machines is the way to go. Or maybe LXC/Docker containers. chroot is hard to set up and of limited use. AppArmor is more...

    Re: I completed Super Mario Brothers

    Super Mario World does have a lot of levels (around 97 as previously pointed out), but there is a short-cut that allows players to beat the game in something like 15 levels. Though that route is...

    Re: I completed Super Mario Brothers

    I once beat Super Mario 3 in about 14 minutes. Hadn't exactly planned on doing a speed run and I'm pretty sure there is no way I could do it again. One day I was waiting for friends to come over and...

    [ubuntu] Re: Have I been hacked?

    The logs don't look suspecious to me, but if you want to make sure, you could backup your files and re-install the operating system. See if your fresh install behaves the same way. Doing a fresh...

    Re: I completed Super Mario Brothers

    I've cmpleted the original Super Mario Brothers and #3 in the series. Oddly enough, I have completed all the levels of Super Mario World something like five times, but never beat Bowser at the end....
  8. [SOLVED] Re: How to change root password in Ubuntu (terminal)

    Wow, people are really not being helpful in this thread. It's a fairly straight forward question.

    To change the password for the root user, first login to the root account with the password you...
  9. Re: For which users can I disable shell access

    If the account is locked then the user cannot login anyway, so it doesn't really matter if they have a shell. I would leave it as it is since the lock on the account prevents people from getting to a...
  10. [server] Re: 14.04 Server Fail2ban not working by default - broken package

    I have been using DenyHost on my Ubuntu 14.04 machines and on FreeBSD. It does a nice job of blocking attacks at the firewall level. I realize this doesn't fix your poblem with Fail2Ban, but it...
  11. Re: Application based firewalls are needed on Linux

    I find it really disappointing that people don't think there is any reason to have application based firewalls on Linux. There are lots of cases where an application-aware firewall makes sense. This...

    Re: ACL broken in ubuntu?

    For maintaining a set of permissions on files that will be created in a directory you can use umask. Setting the user's umask permissions will ensure that everyone in the proper group will be able to...
  13. Re: Landscape Service installed without consent

    Landscape is a monitoring service so your programmer is not being honest with you. Assuming your user has admin access you can remove Landscape using the command

  14. [ubuntu] Re: Security doubts regarding software installed in Ubuntu 14.04

    Usually installing Ubuntu takes around twenty minutes, maybe a little more for customizations. Three hours strikes me as being an awfully long time to install any operating system. A typically...

    [ubuntu] Re: UFW and Virtualbox

    Try


    sudo ufw allow 1.1.1.1 in 80/tcp


    By default UFW blocks all incoming connections, so you only need to specify the address/port you wish to allow.

    [lubuntu] Re: Virtualbox and Gufw Firewall

    No, the guest's firewall only affects traffic coming into or leaving the guest. The host needs its own firewall.

    Re: ACL broken in ubuntu?

    It seems to me the main issue here is what you are doing does not require ACL. With just a couple of users on the system who will share rights over a tree of directories you just need to have a...

    Re: Lumina desktop

    You haven't really stated an opinion, just suggested some other project might be more successful, without giving any reason. This thread was to talk about Lumina, a Qt-based desktop that runs on...

    Re: Lumina desktop

    But Lumina already runs on FreeBSD, PC-BSD, DragonflyBSD, GhostBSD along with support for Debian, Ubuntu and Mint with support being added for Fedora. How is it at a disadvantage to LXQt? I don't see...

    Re: Lumina desktop

    Why do you think LXQt has a better chance of success? Both LXQt and Lumina are built using the same toolkit and seem to have similar goals.
  22. Re: Anyone else frustrated with the lack of native games to Linux?

    What possible benefit would developers have in making their games work on Linux only? That doesn't make any sense. It would be like building a car that only travels on east/west roads. Ideally, more...

    Re: Lightweight Unity or alternative?

    Ubuntu 12.04 was the last release to offer Unity 2-D, the light 2-D option has since been dropped. We now get Unity 3-D or nothing. I think this is a shame since I generally preferred the 2-D...
