posted an answer - no idea if it actually works. YOLO!

worked - WIN!

Seth

I was tinkering with ufw and locked myself out of port 22 on my headless server >.>

Alvar

like a boss ;)

Either you hack port 22 or you connect a screen and keyboard to it ;)

Seth

No kidding lol.

I'm gonna have to use a monitor and keyboard I'm afraid. So painful.

Alvar

hope this is a correct answer, it looks correct..

and I have the same lines on my laptop..

@FEichinger Wait.. You are fbueckert? Or was that some kind of joke?

@Alvar The OP obviously forgot to replace [distro] when he added PPAs..

Alvar

@Seth probably

FEichinger

@Seth Joke.

It's somewhere in the Bridge's transcript.

Seth

Just making sure :P

Anyway, I've got a server to fix. BBL

FEichinger

I haven't changed it back yet, because I don't want to sync my accounts again, so ... gonna have to wait a month.

Alvar

Anyone here familiar with ufw?

I'm trying to figure out why:

ufw allow proto tcp from 192.168.0.0/15 to 22

returns:

ERROR: Bad destination address

Ahhh.

Wait.

Utkarsh

@allquixotic

@Seth hi

!!/listcommands

Seth

@Utkarsh Hello

I figured that part out.

ufw allow proto tcp from 192.168.0.0/15 port any to any port 22

now returns:

Utkarsh

?

Seth

ERROR: Could not find protocal

@Utkarsh I'm asking a question.

Huh. ufw allow proto tcp from 192.168.0.0/15 to any port 22 worked.. :S

Awesome. That worked.

=> There is one zombie process Great. Could you tell me what it is now?

Utkarsh

age?

@se

@seth

Seth

That's stuff I don't tell to random people on the internet ;)

And in public chat rooms for that matter.

@NathanOsman Have any experience with Ubuntu Server?

Nathan Osman

A bit, yes.

Seth

@NathanOsman Do you have any idea if I could configure the messages that show when I login? i.e. the => 1 zombie process or the update notifications?

Nathan Osman

I'm not sure, but let me check.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 Server running as a VM on this machine.

Seth

It seems the text is stored in /etc/motd.. but that doesn't help me much because it only stores the current text.

Nathan Osman

05:48

I'm currently peeking through .bashrc.

Q: How to configure the login system message?

Each time I SSH into my AWS Ubuntu servers I see a system information message, showing load, memory usage and packages available to install, like this: Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-51-virtual x86_64) * Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ System information as of Sun N...

@NathanOsman Oh, OK thanks.

Journeyman Geek

lol

I was bout to link that

Nathan Osman

@Seth Those instructions should disable it.

As for a custom message when logging in... if you use SSH, you could edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

#Banner /etc/issue.net

^--- I found that line and have no idea what it does - but I have a guess :)

Seth

@NathanOsman Oh cool. Thanks. I'll check that out.

Nathan Osman

$ cat /etc/issue.net
Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS

Sure enough.

Seth

05:53

Hm. Great thanks!

Braiam

the only reason why I boot Ubuntu is to answer question about the SDK... and some other oddities I can't reproduce in Debian :P
