bump?

so how do you get around the error "mount: only root can mount //servershare/sharename on /media/share1"?

when I boot my computer, I see a new mount in file explorer but when I click on it, I get...

After multiple OS installs I could not get TOR to install via the Ubuntu Software Center so I went straight to the source. Actually the app would install, it just would not connect and ask me if I...

well darn. I did get another site as a resource to read though. So that's good.

To add something else that I tried -

I installed openresolv per the instructions in the link above. (I also had to uninstall the resolvconf package...

Weatherman, I looked up cuttlefish and the only thing I can find is in the UB software center and it says it is a "icon previewer for artists & devleopers". A quick google search for cuttlefish...

Unfortunately SeijiSenei's method worked at first but after a couple of reboots, it no longer seems to be working. Initially I wondered if the file was overwritten (as warned in the file itself) but...

Matt,
Not yet. I wanted to ask you if this will always change my DNS server address and not just when the VPN is launched. do you happen to know? My goal (as well as others I believe) is to use...

edited to add more info about iterations.

Thank you Seiji for sharing your knowledge! I just tried editing the head file as suggested and it worked for the first couple of tries (mostly). I say...

interesting! so you can check for DNS leak and it only shows the DNS from your VPN provider? If so, sounds like they broke something. I know in 15.x and have heard that in 14.x, the DNS leaks.

HP printers....ugh. :) I had an issue recently and found the hplip to have issues. Here is where I outlined "the fix".

hope that helps.

AWESOME explanation and kudos for you on not a giving a "rtfm" response. Yes this is a simple question but we were all new once. too many forget that. :KS

No total solution but as they say, misery loves company. I've been fighting the DNS leak with VPN through the Network manager for a while now.

I installed Gnome by typing this into a terminal window.


sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop

rebooted and now at login, I can choose to log into Gnome or Unity. Great right? Well,...

Yep! I've been fighting this as well. I can't comment on the issue you're having with the network manager startgin as I have not seen those issues. I have however been having DNS issues like you.

No problem RunRick. I've heard of the Arch Linux before but for some reason it just didn't occur to me that you were talking about the distrib. I guess I had "package" on the brain. Good news is...

Pavel,
I was able to find a fix although at this time, I can only get it to work when running openvpn via the command line. I have not found how to configure the network manager to get the leak...

(Ubuntu 15.10)
So if I follow the instructions here (http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2015/09/how-to-fix-openvpn-dns-leak-in-linux.html) then it actually fixes the issue BUT you must run openvpn from the...

I have found that if I run openvpn from a terminal then I do not get the icon either. I only get the icon if I use the network config manager to connect to the vpn.

(ubuntu 15.10)

Yes! I found in the network configuration manager, for your wireless config you are using (not the vpn connection but the wireless connection), select the General tab and you will find a...

thanks runrickus for the info. I too have found the leak in 15.10. I see you mention Arch. do you have any pointers to that? I don't believe I've heard of it before. Also does that fix the dns leak...

I replied earlier but I wanted to experiment some more. At the moment I have discovered that I can set the VPN client as a setting on my Asus home router. This of course has nothing to do with...

interesting that this uses a free vpn service as the provider and openvpn to run the actual vpn. great job!

this is a great question I'm researching myself! I'm going to try with the upstart daemon.

ok, I'm going off memory but this should work. I wanted bluetooth to be OFF by default and was told to edit the /etc/rc.local file. Apparently the file by itself does nothing but is a place to put...
