Hi Brian, If you are able to get to a x session (GUI) I would adjust grub with grub-customizer. You can do this from command line, however, it would mean adjusting /etc/grub.d files. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer ; sudo apt update ; sudo apt install grub-customizer ; grub-customizer https://www.fosslinux.com/4300/how-to-edit-grub-bootloader-and-remove-unwan… However, I would probably would just tell grub to not display the menu. As long as you're going to manually enter the GRUB_DEFAULT option in /etc/default/grub I also forgot to tell you to run update-grub after you edit /etc/default/grub So this is what you should do. sudo cp -p -v /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak sudo nano /etc/default/grub (Change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT="Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-48 generic" ) (Make sure you include the double quotes, "") (Also add this any where in the same file, just make sure it has it's own line to itself, GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true ) (Ctrl + O then Ctrl + X to save and exit) sudo update-grub sudo systemctl reboot That should force that particular kernel to load on it's own, without a grub menu at boot time.

[ABQLUG] TOPIC: Wine... - Meeting next Tuesday 07/02/2019 at 6:00 PM
by ABQLUG 27 Jun '19

27 Jun '19

Hello fellow NMGLUGers! The second meeting for ABQLUG is coming up in less than a week! It's going to be at Ideas and Coffee (it's a co-working space, not really a coffee shop). This will be on July 2nd 2019 at 6:00pm. For more direct information, please visit the attendee page. https://www.abqlug.com/attendee/ The main topic will be on how to use Wine and CrossOver for Linux. All the way from the basics to how to handle a more complicated application. For a direct example I will be presenting how to install Ancestral Quest 15 and Quicken (Quicken was easier to install through CrossOver). Although I will admit that Quicken isn't fully functional. This is due to the fact that I don't own any Quicken software and I am missing a certain patch file that should fix this. The patch file should be accessible with a valid intuit login. If anyone else would like for me to take a look at seeing if Wine can be used with any Windows software, just email me directly and I will give it a shot and see if I can include it in the next meetup. Now, I am not claiming to be an expert with Wine. If you are an expert with Wine, you might not get too much out of this. However, I am willing to bet that everyone would at least learn something new about Wine. PS: If you're planning on attending I would like to coordinate (via email) with anyone that would like to bring a bottle of _actual_ wine. I am not advocating excessive drinking by any means. I just think it would be a fun idea to have some wine when discussing Wine. I highly expect no one to respond to this. And if my suspicion is correct I'll bring some Cranberry juice as a substitute. (Since I'm too broke to drop money on wine.) Again, don't just assume you should bring some without at least telling me first. PSS: David, if you are reading this... I tried to email you directly. However it resulted in bounce messages saying your account doesn't exist. I would like to coordinate with you to see if I can get the patch file I need to make Quciken 2016 work. So please email me directly so I hopefully show off a working Quicken 2016 setup. I hope to see you all there! Jared

ssh confusion
by Tom Ashcraft 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

Can anyone give me some basic pointers and tips on ssh? (Specific questions at end.) Background. In the process of trying to compare and contrast the configuration differences across three different Linux laptops in my home--this in order to try to figure why one of them consistently fails to connect to imap.comcast.net (continuing saga; not what I wish to address here)--it occurred to me that I might be able to ssh from one computer into the others in order to see and copy certain portions of the different directory structures into a text file on my desktop. This so that I could study everything in a convenient, organized fashion in one place (again not the topic at issue; but, yes, I'm not the kind of person who can memorize a phone book.) Sure enough! I can ssh into Debian machine from Kubuntu machine. I can ssh into Debian machine from Ubuntu Mate machine. But connections are refused from Debian machine into Kubuntu and Ubuntu Mate and between Kubuntu and Ubuntu Mate machines. If I remember correctly, when I setup the Debian machine I opted to install a server. But that was months ago and I haven't thought it about since, nor do I even know where to find it. Does it boot with the machine and make itself available so that I can ssh into it? I don't know. Old as I am I'm still a server-side noob, barely a twinkle in my Daddy's eye. All I know about servers is that I've watched some videos and installed a couple of Ubuntu Server virtual machines for trying to learn some basics about understanding and managing networks and servers (became interested mostly because of the longtime foggy notion that I'd like to someday get a Raspberry Pi and setup a PiHole to work with our router; again, not the issue at hand, just more background for those of you who know me.) I've used ssh at the most basic level about half a dozen times in my life. So my questions are: 1. Is it not possible to ssh from the machine you are typing at into the target/host machine without having a server installed and running on the target machine? Are there permissions or shares or ports or whatnot that need to be configured on the target machines? To the best of my knowledge there are no firewalls running on the machines. 2. Where might general ssh learning time be best spent first? Any good cheat sheets or overviews to recommend? (Yes, I know what man pages are, and even how to use them passably well if I have a clear concept of what it is I'm supposed to be looking for.) Thanks, Tom

simple, maybe?
by Brian O'Keefe 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

Hi all, Still a hearty hoo-za! for a and Jason's diligence. Sure helps when one knows what they're doing. This speaks to a minor but annoying issue I have. I am running U 18.04. When I use the GUI to move a file off of, say the desktop into a folder in the file manager, the file doesn't move but gets copied and the original file sits there on the DT. I can trash it of course but I'm wondering if there isn't some preference somewhere that deals with this. Any ideas? I still need to work out the no-restart issue and why I can't boot into the preferred kernel though I set that in the grub config. Still all workable I just have to open the grub menu to pick out the kernela that works. (and that is nothing above 4.15.*. No 4.18.*) Maybe next meeting. That's all ffffolks --

[ABGLUG] Zero-day (06-04-2019) postmortem
by ABQLUG 06 Jun '19

06 Jun '19

Hi to all of the NMGLUGers! I'm very happy with last nights turn out! In total there were 6 people that showed up (my boss and I are included). Here is a basic recap of what happened: * We discussed about some ideas on how to reach out to the local community and how to invite "normal people" to start using open source software. We talked about how showcasing software can help invite new users to use something that is new to them. And how the LUG can help by basically demoing software. * We also discussed the importance of self-hosting your data and how it could be a main focus point to these meetings. From NextCloud to ZoneMinder, we want to help others take back their data! * I asked if there were any "bigger issues" that needed to be handled for a better life in Albuquerque. I directly gave the example of dark fiber in certain neighborhoods. (Though that was just an example, I can't think of any other direct problems.) I know the answer to the dark fiber thing is very complicated, expensive, and isn't going to change any time soon. If the meetups start to get bigger, we can re-visit at looking to fix these "bigger issues." * A couple of people had some questions on specific software they wanted to use under Linux. 1. Setting up CRM software for non-profit organizations. <- kinda vague, the answer might vary based on the organization 2. Setting up some form of CMS for a family to share pictures and videos. Has to be 'fully' encrypted. (Would Mastadon be a good solution for this?) 3. How to install the latest Ancestral Quest (v15 ?) on Linux Mint. I'm trying to avoid suggesting a Windows VM. Wine should work since it works with v14. Needs some research still. 4. How to get the latest version of Quicken to work under Linux Mint. Same sort of scenario. 5. How to get dropbox to work under Linux Mint. <- I think the issue wasn't with Dropbox, more testing is needed to see if the issue is resolved. * David brought up the idea to reach out to kids and show them what they can do with FOSSoftware. Maybe help them setup Linux on their laptops (IDK if APS kids get a laptop through the school system like some other cities do, if you have any information over this, please email me directly: communityoutreach(a)abqlug.com) I hope to update the blog post with more detailed information over the next couple of days, I will send the link out when that is complete. Over the next couple of weeks I will also announce next weeks' topic and app pick. I hope to see you all at the next meetup! Jared

Hi everyone, I'm replying directly to the mailing list so that everyone can see what I sent to a. So you're on the same page for tonight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm glad to see that you're on the SSD now! It looks like swap might not work until that partition is fixed. I would probably leave it as is now. This is what I would do if I were given the laptop at this point. Again, I'm being purposely vague so that someone at the LUG can help guide you in greater detail. This shouldn't take long in person either. Though there are so many ways to skin this cat; I'm sure everyone will have a slightly different opinion. Remove the second (dead) partition. Resize the first partition to use all space, save for 4GB. Make a new partition that the remaining 4 GB. Make that partition a swap partition. Edit fstab to have the new uuid. Reboot to make sure it all works, include testing the swap partition. Again I would put the old HDD in a static bag. In case you find you need it for the future. Congratulations on getting the SSD to boot!
