Im having a strange issue on Mint 17.1 right now. Ive recently installed the system, everything was working perfectly. Until Ive tried to connect to a Fortinet VPN (using this client https://hadler.me/linux/forticlient-sslvpn-deb-packages/). I did connect, but after a while I noticed my internet connection wanst working anymore. Cant connect to any URL, in any browser. And just on this system, because the same connection is working fine for my phone and the other PC I have here. Ive tried disconnecting and reconnecting, Ive tried restarting (several times), Ive rebooted the modem too, nothing changes. Chrome gives me this error message: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG. What can I do? Please help

fletcher posted:Should I be using FWR for the ssh rule? Or INPUT & OUTPUT? That's totally up to you. But the rules are matched top to bottom, so the very first thing that happens is matching the jump to FWR, then getting rejected. It needs to be before the deny in FWR or before the jump. I should also tell you that localhost doesn't go through the routing table, so all those rules are useless.

With systemd, is there a way to restrict user/group resources much like limits.conf? All of the documentation seems to focus on resource limits for service units. It seems like systemd's integration with cgroups would be more capable/flexible. It seems almost possible (user.slice exists and each logged in user has their own user-XXXX.slice), but I'm not finding anything useful.

Back when I was on a VPN, I had to set it up to append their DNS servers to the normal ones I used, and tinker with the routing metrics to make sure I wasn't piping all of my extra internet usage over the VPN. Didn't need the boss seeing the not-work stuff I did on the internet when I was working from home.

Thanks to all for the discussion about splitting services / AWs / docker etc. Conscious of how I want to do as little sysadmin as possible, how unlikely anyone is to pick up this stuff after me, and having seen a session on using containers in AWS today, Docker is looking better and better. Self-documenting and lets us decide how we need to deploy later rather than earlier.

Anyone know what are the 'Killer Apps' of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? I would especially like to get some sort of Photoshop competitor on my machine. I am aware that Photoshop is not compatible with any versions of Linux

A pirated old version of Photoshop running with WINE is the best you will ever do for a free Photoshop competitor.

Suspicious Dish posted:What I've been doing for the last year has finally come to fruition: https://endlessm.com/ It looks like a headcrab. You said your testing showed people didn't like square boxes, I assume you also tried other simple geometric shapes like a dome, disk, or Apple style trash can? I think it is strange to have a VGA port, I think a DVI port would make more sense. I don't know what kind of adoption your target market has, but I think older LCD TVs have DVI ports and you can include a passive DVI-VGA adapter. If only DVI had audio, then you could have just one DVI port and an adapter for VGA and another for HDMI (which you could still do with a pig tailed adapter). What are you using for the offline encyclopedia? Are there any plans to release just the OS?

We tried lots of stuff, yep. I can pull up the renders for the dome, the disk, and the dustbuster. We did multiple tests: show them a bunch of computers, some ours, some others, and ask "do you want this computer? Yes/no". And then "what do you think this computer costs" and "what would you pay for this computer". The UFO shape you see there was considered the most luxurious, and was actually one of the cheapest molds to make. Surprisingly, LCD monitors and TVs tended to have VGA more than DVI. It was a transitionary period that went from VGA directly to HDMI. The connector is also huge, and cutting that space helped significantly. Just one of the decisions you have to make in building a product, and we'll see if it was the right decision or not. For servicing reasons, we'll have an image of EndlessOS available for download to service centers and the general public, but currently there is no support outside of our own computers. You're on your own if you install it on a random laptop.

Tha,ks for answering my questions, but how are you doing the encyclopedia? Also, why is the power button on the side with all of the ports? Seems to me it would make more sense to have the power/video and other permanent cables on the back and the power button and a single USB port in front similar to how all desktop PCs are designed. I would love to see a few renders of other designs if they are interesting.

Jokes aside, GIMP isn't that bad once you enable single window mode. I have no loving idea why the multi-window mode is the one enabled by default.

I hear single window (is that what gimpshop turned into?) is reasonable. But I can't figure out how to do most stuff in Photoshop, either. Or a lot of stuff in Excel. Don't care enough to learn the workflow, and they're all incredibly arcane. Darktable is supposed to be ok A3th3r posted:not going to put any version of Windows on my machine but thanks for the input in any case

Probably because single window mode is new and they haven't reached a consensus if they want to make it the default yet. Honestly GIMP's multiple windows are pretty reasonable if you run it in a dedicated virtual desktop, but that assumes everyone uses virtual desktops.

The killer features of desktop Linux (by "killer" I mean the kind of stuff I miss when working on Windows machine) are command line (duh), integrated package management, advance window management (it's really frustrating not being able to scroll text in unfocused windows for example), the fact that you can set up your desktop environment any way you like from something like LXDE to Gnome 3 with all the bells and whistles if your hardware supports it, etc. As for apps, I don't know, I mostly use Firefox, Chrome, Atom (text editor) Libre Office Writer, VLC, Deadbeef, GIMP, Inkscape, mess around with Blender sometimes, all of them (or their just as good or better alternatives) are available on other platforms. I use Tilda dropdown terminal a lot, it's super lightweight and snappy, highly recommended, but you tend not to use terminal as much on other platforms, so yeah. Also, NetworkManager is nice that it has built in support for creating Wi-Fi hotspots.

IMO, the "killer feature" of a Linux/BSD desktop is tiling WMs, which have no alternative elsewhere. Also, it's probably the best development environment.

There was a period where I had some bizarre issue and was changing/reconfiguring my DE and I just stopped bothering after a time. I just don't have much need for sets of simultaneously in use windows -- I'll only occasionally pin a small terminal or chat window above some already tabbed app but even that is rare.

I personally have gotten used to GIMP's multi-window mode, although I was also aware that single-window mode existed. GIMP reminds me a lot of Photoshop 5.5, which is what I cut my teeth on, and I got so used to multi-window mode that once I ran into a glitch with single-window it was easy enough to just stick with the default.
