@xxcircexx have you got some references about this? I interested

Can y'all tell how much I despise M$ yet? ?

Yeah, I think is quite clear.

Hey, I've got a question. If I do "passwd -d root" i delete root's password, so then only user who can do sudo will be able to do commands with roots priviliges?

I don't think that's a good idea @Ukalakaziuk ...

I don't think that's a good idea @Ukalakaziuk ...

Or would that leave root account with no password so anyone can log in as root?

It's the default on an Ubuntu installation iirc

No .. without root password no one can log into root

If it doesn't exist no one can log in

It's the default on an Ubuntu installation iirc

Ubuntu is not exactly the best when it comes about security... IMHO.

Either way it does not make this any less secure

Ubuntu is not exactly the best when it comes about security... IMHO.

Why? I am really really interested about this.

Because they aim to catch the office user, typically coming from Microsoft. Security isn't a priority for them.

is it

Hi all. Anyone has successfull story about playing with opensource nvidia drivers? Or better drop this idea and install optimus for my nvidia 520mx ?

Well, my Nvidia card works out of the box. If that helps you...

With proprietary nvidia drivers?

No. I installed nothing.

I bet open source drivers work out of the box. But could you please try play any modern 3d game:)

No. I'm not a gamer.

Playing Doom from time to time and that's it.

Because they aim to catch the office user, typically coming from Microsoft. Security isn't a priority for them.

I spoke with some people that works with network security, they all told me the same thing, BSD is the best in security, I just don't know if is true because I never use it , but that what they say .

Is that for the new models of Nvidia's GPU ?

There is no much profit in hacking bsd, because no body uses it. That is why it's so secure

What about red hat ?

Is that for the new models of Nvidia's GPU ?

Oh, no, it's not new at all. It works nicely and that's all what I need

What about red hat ?

Most commercial vendors care a lot for the security and do their best to test and release security fixes.

In that way Canonical, RedHat, Novell and Oracle are on the same page

Canonical has huge server and IoT markets. They really care about security as others do

Canonical gas…? What does it mean?

And moreover most of the security issues are common for all the vendors.

Just recall dirty cow and heartbleed

Canonical gas…? What does it mean?

That means I missed letter with swiping on Android keyboard

Oracle use the nickname of "Unbreakable"

Yet another gas:)

On Optimus you should use only proprietary drivers if you want to avoid freezes and hangs.

Opensource drivers for NVIDIA cards too bad and very unstable.

On Optimus you should use only proprietary drivers if you want to avoid freezes and hangs.

Who said that? I tried that new infrastructure in f25 and it worked

Who said that? I tried that new infrastructure in f25 and it worked

I'm using NVIDIA graphic cards for many years. Only on proprietary drivers it works fine. On OSE in causes lots of dead hangs (only Reset button helps).

Anybody in here who has music website? I will give you my musics for free to upload to your website then i will direct people to download from your site. Please pm me if you are interested.

Considered using Bandcamp?

Hello, and welcome! ?

Hi! Thanks

Hi all, I want to explain my current situation and find the best method to go about what I want to achieve. I am currently on F24, on my work laptop with a 600GB mechanical drive. I need to have an encrypted drive for work purposes and only after I've setup and configured my system did I dint out I have to do the drive encryption during installation. Every other method I've investigated would wipe the data so I might as well do a fresh install. I've spend weeks configuring everything to be setup and I really would not want to spend the next few weeks re-configuring everything as I have it now. So what I would kindly like some information on, or to be pointed in the right way with: 1) What would be the best method to back up all configs and settings and restore it to a fresh encrypted installation of Fedora 25 if not then.. 2) Can I clone my drive and restore it back to the new installation on the encrypted drive? (Fedora 24 to Fedora 24) or if not, What are the most important files/folders I should be backing up to keep my current settings or is there a utility that I could use that is capable of doing this. Please remember, I am new to Fedora coming from macOS. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Just boot from LiveUSB, pack all your files to TAR archive with access rights to external HDD, then encrypt your /home partition using cryptsetup/LUKS, mount it and restore contents of TAR archive. Reboot.

@xvitaly you make it seem really easy..

i don't think you can clone the drive, but look into using rsync to copy files as it'll be fast

i've heard of rsync but have never used, will investigate

make sure you copy stuff that's not in /home that you'll want to keep

ERROR: S client not available

it would be easiest for you to start fresh and install programs and configs etc again

which specific settings do you need to save?

if its chrome/firefox they have cloud things

no, mostly config for my work dev enviroment

using docker with files saved locally and connections over ssh

mysql and so on

Why Switch back. just choose xorg from GDM

From November 5-6, Fedora Ambassadors and Open Labs Hackerspace community members Jona Azizaj, Suela Palushi, and Kristi Progri tackled the gender gap in open source head-on at OpenFest Bulgaria. Check out their full talk, "Women in Open Source"! https://youtu.be/OK0VK3orLmc

Open Source nouvau does not feature 3d accel of this kind

Thnx bro

Hey @ryanlerch! Welcome aboard!

I bet open source drivers work out of the box. But could you please try play any modern 3d game:)

The most modern game I played was half life 2

Mm no, the most modern game was Dragon Age 2

All this talk of NVIDIA. Why not simply rid oneself of the horrid cards & stick with Intel's CPU based graphics?

The best desktop is the hand chosen one built to ones own specs.

Unless your mining bitcoin or related crypto currency, there's really no need for separate a GPU

it would be easiest for you to start fresh and install programs and configs etc again

As well as full disk encryption ;)

Learning curve is a little steep!

Learning curve is a little steep!

It is a little. I used it before for a while with some success, but had to give it a rest because I couldn't get Dropbox working (which I think I've fixed). Now I'm trying to map my volume keys for an Apple keyboard... and figure out a few other things.

The reason I like i3 is that I can organize all of my windows in a specific way that makes a lot of sense to me. It just takes some getting used to at first.

Good morning Geeks

Good evening. :)

What you upto?

Playing Doom from time to time and that's it.

Heyyyy

Agreed workspace organization is a key to productivity

Btw congratulations for the world tour thingy it makes me envious and happy at the same time!???
