amon, thanks! That looks like what I am looking for. My aim is to find research papers on these topics, especially those applying machine learning for it.

I would strongly recommend use of Lynis to detect security issues. It's free and open source software.

I have this issue with aws ec2 security. I want to ssh into my Ubuntu server, so I set the security to allow port 22 incoming tcp traffic from my ip(this automatically selects my public ip). but it doesn't work. It used to work a few days ago to the best of my knowledge. Currently the only solutions seems to open it to whole world

Well as far as I remember, first it failed to live boot. a few tries later it booted, then It crashed I guess when trying out. Later I installed it but must have taken hours to complete(felt weird ) Then it didn't boot. next time it went to login screen but was unusable

Hi guys. I've been away from Ubuntu since 14.04. stumbled across unity 8 video so I thought lets give it a try. But couldn't get it to work in virtualbox. it was failing at various stages. any special settings needed in virtualbox? or should I try again?

@JourneymanGeek I guess Ubuntu is one of the very few distros out there who gives 5 year support. am I right?

@Oli Which one of Ubuntu official derivatives+Linux mint is used most?

Registered User

If Ubuntu phones start selling all over the world, it would be great selling point for the desktop OS as well.

@Oli Support is a very good reason.

@Oli I am not a pure arch user, i use Ubuntu as well. I have used Ubuntu more than arch. But now I can't find a good reason to differenciate between them.

Registered User

Sep 7, 2015 12:36

@cl-netbox People will ask for a reason if I recommend them Ubuntu, when I personally use arch-based manjaro now. Can you suggest a condition for if (condition);then use Ubuntu, else if (condition); then use Manjaro; else look at distrowatch;done

Sometimes, people ask me "I want to use linux . what (distro) will be good for me". I ask "what exactly are your needs". They say "I just want to do XYZ" (replace XYZ with stuff like programming, watching multimedia, browsing and so on). The problem is I can't just recommend one distro based on this data, and I don't want to randomly give an answer either. What should I do?

I am trying to root my device. The problem is fasboot does not recognise the device. The solution on this given for windows os is to update the device drivers. What should be the solution for Linux? I guess I should try using the 4.0.x kernel.

Registered User

I guess we won't be getting kernel 4.0.x anytime soon at least for 14.04. Anyone already running it?

I knew before that mtp does not allow files to be directly opened. So you have to copy files from your android phone to the computer to open files. Today, for some reasons, I installed few mtp related packages. Then I suddenly realised that I can open files on my phone directly. In an attempt to find which package did this magic. I one by one started uninstalling those packages. But even after uninstalling all related packages, it is still working. So now I'm in a dillema.

@Serg BTW it is kind of sort of programming question. :-)

Registered User

@Serg you will need to cast as double can automatically convert to int, but int does not automatically convert to double.

If someone is having a android device and running Ubuntu 14.04, can you verify whether you can open files from your mobile directly(without copying) when connected using mtp to your computer.

Where is the "Changelog" like thing for Ubuntu 15.04?

I had a question.AFAIK openstack, juju etc are the softwares used in cloud computing sector and not the platforms themselves. on the other hand AWS is a platform. For about a hour I'm looking for a list of open source softwares like openstack, but all I come up with are platforms. Looks like no one is interested in the base of clouds, but just in there interface. can someone help a little.

If anyone has filled pdf forms using Ubuntu-firefox-adobe reader or Ubuntu-anything else setup, can you verify if it is possible to select option from drop down menus(for ex. selecting your country from list of all countries). I'm wondering if this is a feature of adobe reader 9.5.5+ versions, which are not available for Linux. BTW I'm trying to fill this form sarathi.nic.in:8443/UF/pdfforms/NewLicence.pdf

@blade19899 I have tried using that option but it doesn't help. And changing option will give a "cannot mount the drive"(or something similar) error

Long long ago, I had messed up with the mount options of my usb drive. Since then I see two mount icons, one named sdb(useless, nothing happens) and other one with it's actual name(this one works). It's a minor issue, but sucks badly. Isn't there a way to just reset the mount options?

So it has nothing to do with tethering but wireshark just captures the packets because the phone is on same network.

Registered User

Nov 26, 2014 08:47

@NoTime So Ubuntu is repeating those steps infinitely, rather than doing it just once or once in a while?
