@gjacobse said in Security while Traveling -:

Could something like this or similar be supplemental?

Seems pretty silly.

So here is the question....

What threat do you perceive there being? How do you feel this device addresses that thread?

I don't really see any threat in the first place, and so that makes it extra hard to know how to assuage your fears. But how this device is supposed to help, I'm really unsure.

@stacksofplates said in Linux: History:

you can just do

gedit ~/.bash_history

or if you like the cli

cat ~/.bash_history

Obv only Bash if that's what you're using.

Why conCATenate? Just use LESS.

You can do either or any combination. Mostly just pointing you you don't need the gui.

Also what's in /etc/resolve.conf?

I've always used WiFi Analyizer on a phone/tablet if I needed to survey a location. That said, a thread on linuxquestions.com led me to: https://alternativeto.net/software/inssider/?platform=linux#. Looks like some options at least, don't really know if they're decent.

cute little bugger.

I am still searching as well. On Deepin right now.

Are you using mate or cinnamon? You can set the num lock and caps lock with gconf so it will stay the same with mate. I'm assuming Cinnamon is using dconf like Gnome3.

@Dashrender Ugh Powershell - Don't even. If I can avoid using it I do..

The reality is that us Windows Admins need to stop avoiding it. 😞

sigh agreed... but I protest...

Hey, getting me to use the Linux CLI is a step forward,.. I know (a few of) the commands now,.. while I just may no recall the context. I was able to find the mount that was at 100% usage yesterday using df -h... so that is a move forward..

@gjacobse said in Understanding X2GO Desktops:

Also - is connecting to the local desktop the only option on using that computers speakers?

I've installed MATE, and am able to connect via that now - but it plays Pithos using the main computers speakers. not what I want... when I have the stereo system on the other side of the room....

There should be options to tunnel the sound through the SSH session.

He wants to use X2Go as a remote control for the machine with the audio playing.

Ah ok. I read that wrong, my bad.

@gjacobse said in Linux Mint: Reset Windows Password:

WHile I asked, I also searched:

Reset Windows using Linux Mint

You can use Linux live CD and a program named chntpw will do the rest. You don’t have to install that OS to your hard drive. I am showing you how to do it using Linux Mint. Visit Linux Mint website and download ISO. Burn it to a disc and boot up your computer using that bootable disc. Go to Menu>Accessories>Terminal. Type sudo apt-get update. Press Enter. Type sudo apt-get install chntpw. Press Enter and keep that terminal open. From desktop go to Computer and then just open the drive where Windows is loaded. It will mount that drive. In the terminal type cat /proc/mounts. Hit Enter. It will give output like /dev/sda1 /media/CA123DD456EA6512. This long serial no will vary in your case. Change it accordingly in next command. Type cd /media/ CA123DD456EA6512. Hit Enter. Type cd Windows/System32/config/ and Press Enter. Type sudo chntpw SAM and Press Enter. You will get a menu with all users of the system. Default is Administrator. Type 1 and press Enter to clear user password. If you need to reset password for a specific user, type sudo chntpw -u username SAM and follow previous instructions. Close everything and reboot system.

I was going to suggest the chntpw. As far as I know that's compatible up to Windows 8.1... Never had to use it on Win10 yet.

Been using Mint for the last few days, and I actually LOVE it!

I used Ubuntu for a while, but man Linux Mint is just easier and more streamlined...

it's really great. I've been on it for nearly a year and what a difference it makes.

Confirmed that this is working on Linux Mint 18.
