I've installed the latest Nvidia drivers, but when I try to launch mohaa (Medal of Honor Allied Assault) in Ubuntu 22.04, I can't get it to work.



I have the 32-bit drivers installed along with...

After more toiling, I figured out it's a problem with wildcard DNS set on the main FQDN DNS server!

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1708905

It appears to affect all Linux distros (tried...

Ok, I've finally traced it down. If you use a FQDN as your hostname such as (serv1.mydomain.com), for some reason, utilities such as ping will append the domain name (.mydomain.com) when performing...

I have no idea what happened, but after looking at some of my other Ubuntu servers, I decided to change the /etc/nsswitch.conf setting from:



hosts: files dns

I'm having a very strange issue when attempting to ping hosts on one of my Ubuntu 14.04 servers. Non-resolvable domains and hosts are resolving to itself, and I have not configured the server to do...

I originally thought I had a fix for this, but I didn't. Applying the patches from Fedora's version causes stack overflows even though the code compiles. It doesn't do that in Ubuntu 14.04 though...

Hi Guys,

I noticed that in all versions of Ubuntu 16.04, the libpam-mysql package or (pam-mysql for older versions of Ubuntu) is broken. When trying to interface with mysql, I get this error:
...

Ok, this is really dumb. I fixed it on both servers. For the home server, I needed to add these settings specifically to vsftpd.conf:



listen_port=10001
pasv_min_port=43000...

On the home server, I'm thinking that is correct, but I'm not sure why. On the VPS, I have no idea why it gives me a 425. I don't even get a 425 on the home server because the remote connection to...

With the changes you suggested, I can now connect via FTP on the custom port from a LAN connection. However, I still can't connect to it from the outside. I have verified the ports are open, but...

Remote being connecting to a public IP address from a different network.

If you're testing this on your home server, try connecting from the outside (an IP address on another network).

Tried that, but it still didn't work for me. Here is what I've got now:



#pasv_enable=YES
listen_port=10001
listen=YES
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES

I don't have anything blocked with iptables on the VPS server, and on my test home server, I only have fail2ban entries and Peerguardian entries blocked. I've done iptables -F as well. No dice. I...

Yes, it shows VSFTPD listening on port 10001. I can only access FTP locally on the server. If I connect to FTP via port 10001 FROM THE SERVER itself, it works, but from any other machine on the LAN...

Yes, port 10000 is forwarded and open too. I'm running a public FTP server, so yes, in my case, changing the port will do wonders, as I am not giving out the FTP links until Recaptcha V2 I'm Not a...

Hi All,

I cannot get VSFTPD to work properly when using a custom port on Ubuntu 14.04. I can connect to the FTP server running on a custom port from the local server itself, but remote...

The deb does the same thing, except that it saves the rules on shutdown or reboot (using iptables-save) and restores the rules on boot (using iptables-restore).

It's independent of the network...

I noticed that when a server restarts, the iptables rules are reset and flushed back to their original state. I was looking for a way to permanently preserve my current iptables rules automatically...

Hey Guys,

I'm a developer for open source software, and I just now noticed that Ubuntu versions greater than 12.04 do not have a pop-before-smtp package. So, I tried using the compiled deb...

Hey guys, this has been a problem for a long time in Ubuntu. Each time a new version of Ubuntu is released, the VSFTPD package needs to be patched or configured in a strange manner in order to...

Hi Guys,

When I test to see if CSF Firewall will work on my system, I get this output:

Hi guys, my server went down from about 6:30 to 7:30 PM. At this time, I was unable to access anything. My server bandwidth charts were showing 100MB outgoing traffic. I'm not sure what was using...

It looks like you could configure apache to run using the vsftpd account by changing the following in /etc/apache2/envvars:



export APACHE_RUN_USER=vsftpd


Then, you'd have to run the...

After playing with various config settings and ideas, I've come up with an acceptable solution for virtual users. Basically, all files uploaded by VSFTPD should be owned by the apache user www-data....

I'm not sure when it changed, but it looks like Ubuntu updated Nautilus to fix this issue. Works fine, and I didn't make any changes to the theme. Granted, there are still a few issues with the...
