This one gets high marks....

I've been using KDEnlive for nearly a year now. We're conducting online Zoom events as part of our college reunion activities during lockdown. I typically am just adding title slides to an MP4...

Samba shares, like all Windows-based filesystems, are not entirely compatible with *nix file systems. In some cases I've had to ZIP directories on NTFS filesystems and use rsync to transfer the ZIPs....

You could create a virtual host within a domain you control, e.g, myfriend.mydomain.com. Use a <Directory> statement to point to a directory in his home that he can manage.

cat file1 >> file2

Appends the contents of file1 to the bottom of file2. The double redirection (">>") means append. With only one redirection character (">") file2 would overwritten.

Try putting "/dev/md128" immediately after "--assemble".

libssl1.1 is a separate package. From "apt-cache search libssl"

libssl1.1 - Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - shared libraries

Try reinstalling that.

Do you use the "-v" option in rsync to get a list of the transferred files? Does the failing transfer always hang at the same file, or does it happen randomly?

Yes, blocking outbound traffic only fixes a symptom, but it is the one that is triggering problems with your provider.



You'll notice I suggested a fresh install of the OS and, if that doesn't...

You can reconstruct the skeleton files by copying the contents of /etc/skel as the owner of the home directory. All the files there are hidden, so you need to use "ls -a" to see them:


$ ls -la...

I'd start with a simple iptables rule that blocks outbound connections originating on "high" ports > 1023 and directed to high ports on remote machines.


sudo iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --sport...

I believe the server version includes some packages by default that are not in the desktop version. Things like the Apache web server or the Postfix mail exchanger that are commonly run on servers.

As Doug says, the rule

-A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
must come at the end of all INPUT statements. Order matters greatly in iptables. Also if you want to block...

With 4 GB, I give 2.5 GB to Windows and keep the rest for the Linux host.

You can configure Mozilla Thunderbird to play a sound or pop up a notification on your desktop, or both.

The current version of Thunderbird running on my 20.04 laptop is 78.7.1. If I open the message composition window, the "Send" button in the upper-left-hand corner is greyed out until a To: address...

On Kubuntu 20.04 a pop-up notification appears when you plug in the USB device offering different options to access it. There's an "open in file manager" choice. DK about vanilla Ubuntu.

Open a terminal and type "host www.google.com". Does it reply more or less instantly?


$ host www.google.com
www.google.com has address 172.217.7.4
www.google.com has IPv6 address...

Yes, they are not slow to launch, but for me they are slow when saving a web page or an email attachment. Anything that brings up the file save dialog.

The most recent updates to Firefox and Thunderbird suddenly take forever to bring up the file selection dialogue on my Kubuntu machine. The dialogue would pop right up on earlier versions, but now...

Are you using the proprietary NVIDIA driver? Go to System Settings > Driver Manager to see.

If this is one of those "hybrid" systems with NVIDIA and another adapter, usually Intel, see if you can...

Did you install openssh-server? Is it running? Is the machine firewalled in any way? Are you sure the machine is at that address? Are you using static addressing? DHCP reservations?

On the swap partition: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2458900

I usually have separate primary partitions for /boot and /, with /home and the swap partition in the extended area.

Put the logging rule ahead of a reject one like this:


iptables -A INPUT -j LOG
iptables -A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

and put them both at the bottom of the INPUT...
