:? :? :? :? :? :? NOOOOOOOOOOO! The notification is back!! So nothing I have done has worked! The nvidia X server settings program doesn't work (not that I use it for anything). I can see the screen fine (which is very important, and watch videos). Blender can use the graphics card effectively (whic...

Editing the grub config file seems to work, at least after a couple of reboots. I will confirm it works in a week or so.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Nope. Blacklisting the nouveua driver didn't work, at least the way I did it.

Thank you very much for your help. Yes, ctl + alt + backspace is just as good a solution as logging in and out. But just as inconvenient. I have finally tried blacklisting the nouveau driver, a solution I did not manage to do correctly in the past. I think I have done it correctly now following some...

Hello again. After several months, I switched over to ubuntu for a while to get rid of the video driver issues I was getting. But after some time I'm back with mint 20 again. I thought this issue might have been fixed but no. But it's different than before. Now I get this notification: https://i.ibb...

Hi. I believe I do need two physical local networks because if I can connect to the internet from my local network, so could anything else. Even though I configured it not to. These cheap cameras are not reliable. I suspect, and I am probably right, that these little devices are used without the own...

Hello guys! So just fiddling with these cheap, and almost certainly hackable cctv ethernet cameras, and an nvr. The brand I've never heard of, but I have found it to be in a list of not recommended security cameras due to security issues in their firmware. But they were so cheap I thought I'd give t...

Hello again. Just wondering if anybody has achieved this with openvpn. I still haven't. I work on my laptop from remote locations and need to access my home computer and my work computers. I use openvpn to access them. But I have to keep switching between them. Because most of the time I'm just fetc...

Half solved!! I just used a vpn for problem number one.

Hi there folks. I've been messing with audio over network. I am currently using jack, and I can succesfully connect using zita-njbridge across the internet. Which is fantastic really, but I have two questions to see if anybody can help. At the moment I have two computers, the computer with me (my la...

There is nothing like spending a whole day trying to figure something out, asking for help on a forum, and then suddenly finding the solution by one's self. Silly me. Before I would do: ssh user@computerA -p 1234 I would get the permission denied error. I should have given it the identity informatio...

Hello friends. I'm back with a problem I think might fit in this forum. Here's my problem. I have a computer called A with linux mint 19 on it and openssh-server installed. I have my laptop, ubuntu. I have created a keypair using the usual ssh-keygen command, followed by the ssh-copy-id -i identitry...

Solved!

Just solved it myself.

I added the rule with "ufw allow 53". My mistake. I should have used "ufw allow out 53".

Sorry about that.

Hello again. As usual, I am back with another problem, and it's not coronavirus related :D I am using UFW, with open ports 22, 53, 80, 443, 1194 set to allow. Default incoming and outgoing set to deny. I have also set DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY="ACCEPT" in the config file because I couldn't br...

I found this solution that worked for me. I'm using mint 19.3 cinnamon. Just pasted these lines into my crontab file: DISPLAY=":0.0" XAUTHORITY="/home/USER/.Xauthority" XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/1000" Change "USER" to whatever user you want. Notify-send now w...

Thank you altair4 for your answer. Does your solution imply the user's entire home folder is remote? My nas is meant for file sharing and personal data backup with rsync. I have chosen not to have a raid setup. I am not using samba for some irrational reason because I'm reluctance to use anything mi...

Hello friends. I have a newbie question regarding a DIY file server for multiple users (my children for example, or workers in a small office, etc...). I would like to know if anybody could tell me what the best strategy would be for a file server. Should I have a user called NAS on the file server ...
