Hi Guys Not sure if this is the right place to post for help, so if it is not I apologize in advance. As you will soon tell I am a bit of a linux noob The situation: I am trying to set up a permanent, auto connecting reverse SSH tunnel between my raspberry pi running debian and my publicly accessible VPS running upbuntu. For this to work I needed to generate an RSA key for the pi so it could connect without having to enter a password. I was able to successfully do this by performing ssh-keygen -t rsa scp id_rsa.pub @:.ssh/authorized_keys then bringing the tunnel up and connecting with no problems, so it all seems like it worked like it should. HOWEVER, I can now not access my VPS directly through SSH, as every time I try I get the following error: no supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey, gssapi-with-mic) Can anyone give me some pointers on how to recover direct ssh access? From what I have read maybe generating a key for my workstation and then adding it to known hosts should work (although I havent been able to get it to work yet, but I'm probably doing something wrong) however I would like to connect to the server from multiple machines and would ideally like to just type in the password rather than generate a key for every machine I want to connect from. Thanks in advance for any help you can give! submitted by Osiris_S13 [link] [comment]

With the latest twitter API change (deprecation of 1.0 in favour of now mandatory 1.1), one of the tools I was relaying for out of office control, bti, stopped working. Does anyone know of a similar tool that can tweet (programatically) from CLI? submitted by rgawenda [link] [3 comments]

Today, as a father on father's day, I feel a sense of redemption and pride. I installed Linux on my wife's computer. She loves it. Sorry for the wall of text I bought a license from my job for Windows XP years ago. It was a group license. A few months back, my VM on my desktop, and my wife's computer, gave me the "windows genuine advantage: you may a victim of software piracy" bullshit. I paid actual money for this license, are you fucking kidding me? Wife's computer got really shitty for a while, I'm not sure if it was some kind of thing with M$ crippling the OS, malware/viruses, an almost destroyed wireless NIC. This computer had been pretty awful for quite some time. Bought a new 1TB drive on amazon for $65. The existing drives were IDE, the new one is SATA. The box has an AMD phenom II 550 (dual core 3.1 Ghz 64 bit processor, I haven't dealt with hardware specs in a while, but the Windows XP was the 32 bit version and jebus was it slow as hell) Then the tech nightmare ensues. I haven't dealt with desktop support in a long time. Wife's computer (I will refer to it as "cheesus") has 6 SATA ports on the motherboard. Only 2 SATA outputs on the power supply. wtf I find my stash of DVD-R discs after a good half an hour and try to burn a Linux Mint 15 DVD. Okay, uhm, start -> program files -> ... find Windows Media Player Yea this can burn dvd ISOs right? I need a newer version of WMP to burn this disc I think. I install it. 20 minutes later, hey, I'm windows, reboot time! Yes/No? Okay, yea fuck you windows, I'm trying to make your ass obsolete. Reboot, now accept this EULA. Yea I get it MS Accept the EULA, no, it takes me to a website where it says my "windows genuine advantage plugin" isn't installed properly and here is a new EXE to install to ensure my software can be installed. Suck my dick MS I download some other shit to burn a DVD, get burned to a DVD-R. I go hook up the new SATA drive, and the power connector stretch between the SATA DVD drive and the hard drive isn't long enough. The SATA power connector breaks and I can't connect the DVD drive and the hard drive simultaneously. I find another IDE DVD drive, connect the only working SATA power connector to the hard drive, connect the IDE DVD drive, and get Linux finally installed on this box. Moved it to the basement to be hard wired so i don't have to rely on the wifi card (antenna is broken and has been for a while, kids break things) Wife loves it so far. Linux mint 15 has been good to me so far, though, the stock libreoffice did not execute correctly at all. A bit disappointing. I had to install the deb packages from libreoffice's website. Hope this is one of the few snags I run into. It can be done, fuck windows and mac, this is the way to go Happy computing to you out there submitted by mysteryweapon [link] [comment]

So I just got a new job where I'll be working pretty extensively with Linux (yay!). I was given a work laptop.. a Dell ultrabook, which is pretty nice! It runs Linux just fine, including closing the lid and function buttons. I've gotten most work functions available on Linux, but the last key is a Dell USB dock I was given to connect to two monitors: http://accessories.ap.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=sg&l=en&s=dhs&cs=sgdhs1&sku=452-11648 Turns out, Targus sells the same dock rebranded: http://www.targus.com/us/productdetail.aspx?regionId=7&sku=ACP70USZ&PageName=Docking%20Stations%20by%20Targus&productCategoryId=13&bucketTypeId=0&searchedTerms=&navlevel1=products&cp=&bannertxt=Docking%20Stations Both are functional besides the video outputs. I found that a company called DisplayLink makes both of these and has a stranglehold on universal USB laptop docks. Their products are listed here: http://www.displaylink.com/shop/docks There's some Linux functionality among ThinkPad proprietary docks, but my laptop has no dock specific ports, so I need a universal USB dock. DisplayLink has an Open Source forum on their website here: http://displaylink.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=29 They announce that nearly their entire lineup does not have Linux support here: http://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1748 They state "One issue is that the [docks support] content protection and we need to ensure this remains secure under an open source environment." So, essentially DRM is preventing these docks from providing video signals for Linux. Lenovo sells a USB 3.0 dock here: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?GroupID=460&Code=0A33970 I have not heard of anyone getting this to work on Linux, and it is also a DisplayLink product. The only Linux driver supported dock I can find is strangely also made by DisplayLink, here: http://plugable.com/products/UD-160-A It only supports one external monitor, however. I'm willing to pay good money for a universal USB laptop dock that supports 2 monitors & has Linux drivers! Someone kickerstarter this shit! TLDR; Linux supported universal USB laptop docks do not exist with dual monitor functionality due to greedy DRM. Hate the Man! submitted by xork [link] [comment]

If you give suggestions please also provide a link for a new user. My wife and I both switched over. I still use Windows for muh gaming but I also have a gaming machine that cold boots to a fully loaded Win7 desktop in less than 15 seconds - I have no desire to learn how to WINE for now with that fast of a boot. We deleted our facebooks, we use hushmail now over gmail (But will change to something better if the community can tell us). BTW we both use Fedora19 with KDE. Weve both got rpm fusion installed, what other basics might we be missing out on? submitted by NSAthrowaway123456 [link] [3 comments]

I recently installed Fedora 18 on an old laptop for my daughter to play some educational flash games. I want to disable the right click functionality of the mouse as she has trouble some times during flash games getting the flash properties window. Is this possible using Fedora 18 and Firefox? Previously the laptop had Vista and I ran an application in the background that disabled the right click functionality until you killed the application. submitted by vgoldee [link] [comment]

So I was thinking. Given the various mail systems that are available via Linux, and the ease of which it could be done to forward the mail over a standardized port to a distributed hosted system that each user in the node (similar to TOR or Pidgin encrypted peer to peer chat works) such as port 443. What is the possibility of creating a distro that is lightweight, portable and pluggable into anode based email system, similar to instant message. Users can either plug in an appliance in their home network if they are savvy, or simply join a distributed node with an email address. Messages are encrypted in transit, and the content can be optionally encrypted with automatic GPG keys, or better yet, make part of the process of signup for the system a mandatory GPG key creation and assignment to that new account? Want to use your Google account? Sign up with your gmail account, auto create a GPG encryption key for your account, and voila. The more security minded that sign up for the distributed service, the higher the likelihood that they will utilize message encryption to begin with. Thoughts? submitted by youguysaresilly [link] [5 comments]
