A: Lynis says my /etc/issue is weak - how to strengthen? It turns out, that Lynis test code lives in `/usr/share/lynis/include/testbanners` which gave me a way to find what banner is considered good. :-) In my case, it's to have 5 or more specific keywords. Both banners are being shown to users logging in via SSH, locally or through the network, and yes... (more) |

Lynis says my /etc/issue is weak - how to strengthen? When hardening my system with Lynis I had information about `/etc/issue` and `/etc/issue.net` being found weak. Lynis redirects me to Enterprise, which is a paid product and a bit overkill for my home server. So, my question: 1. wouldn't those be only binding legally, as in, helpful to strength... (more) |

Well, I did anticipate that outcome, as my docs say many things are reported... but not VRAM. In my output I also don't see it. Is `glxinfo` not an option? `lshw` might be capable of this, but have not tried it. (more) |

How to RTFM well to get a CLI command I've been met with the phrase RTFM often. I recognize its value. However, the manual pages are often hard to understand and written by people who know so much about the topic at hand that they don't even realize how far away they are from a layman trying to use it. How can I RTFM to use a command... (more) |

Linux literacy is the aim of this forum though. Not general computer literacy. OP's targeting newbies already decided on Linux - why redirect them? Let them master it on/for Linux and then see it applies elsewhere as well. Not to mention that computer vendors DO make it harder to learn OSes - which a... (more) |

A: Suggestion: Basic Linux skills compendium Neat idea. In favour. Bottom-up is better I'd propose bottom-up here, instead of grand idea to strive for. 1. I'd cut the list of topics down to real basics. I agree with @KarlKnechtel on Git. I'd skip compilation from source until much later (not basic). Etc. 2. Basics means installation... (more) |

A: How to see VRAM with inxi? Inxi has a `-x`, `-xx`, `-xxx` for extra details. I'd try `sudo inxi -G -xxx` though if it WILL report VRAM is another matter. My help says: > -G Device serial number, class ID; Xorg Screen size, diag; Monitors: hz, size, modes, serial, scale, modes ... (more) |

VISUAL=gvim makes crontab -e open a new crontab instead of a current one My VISUAL setup interferes with my cron jobs. 1. `crontab -l` works all right, I see my previous jobs. 2. `crontab -e`, `crontab -e -u user-here` - opens GVIM on an empty file 3. checked cron.allow or .deny, nothing, did add cron.allow with my user, nothing changed 4. 1 and 2 are even AFTE...

A: Looking for a way to sync dotfile content between different machines without introducing security issues A first quick solution I hacked up was to sync via NAS. Synology NAS served as a synchro point. I synced via git repo. `etckeeper` was used to sync machine config, `pass` was used to sync passwords. So, for me it was to use git commands. Pass: https://www.passwordstore.org/ ArchWiki on it: ht... (more) |

A: How to debug NetworkManager issue after suspend/resume in Ubuntu 22.04 Begin with the logs I'd begin with the logs: `journalctl -u NetworkManager` You may want to create a log config file for this: `vim /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/95-nm-debug.conf` # perhaps sudo, to have access to /etc File contents: ``` [logging] domains=ALL:TRACE ``` `systemctl re...

A suggestion for folks with the same problem. Begin with `inxi` or a similar tool, that aggregates: system version/model/data, NCI model/version/drivers, and add the version of your NetworkManager, along with which update (from X to Y) broke things and also which update solved them. (more) |
