On Linux Lite 4.8, 8 GB Ram.
Using a Swiss (German/French) generic 105-key QWERTZ keyboard.
Need to reassign brace characters to replace £ + $ characters.
Is that feasible and - if so - how can I do that?
Would appreciate any help.

[size=1em]I am learning about Splunk in my spare time, and a lab called for "Data Onboarding: IPtables Logs."  The goal was to get more data into Splunk by using the following commands to generate syslog data.  The commands are:[/size]

[size=1em]iptables -I INPUT 1 -j LOG[/size]
[size=1em]iptables -I FORWARD 1 -j LOG[/size]
[size=1em]iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -j LOG[/size]

[size=1em]I was following along the lab, and when I finished the lab, I didn't think anything of the changes I made.  I hadn't touched my Splunk environment for several days, and then today I noticed I was getting license warnings because my Splunk setup was going over the daily data limit for my free license.  I assume it has something to do with the above commands.  Does anyone know how to reverse the above commands?  I don't know much about iptables.  My educated guess was to type in the following and restart Splunk.[/size]

[size=1em]iptables -D INPUT 1 [/size]
[size=1em]iptables -D FORWARD 1 [/size]
[size=1em]iptables -D OUTPUT 1 [/size]

[size=1em]I don't know if what I entered above is the proper way to reverse the commands or not.[/size]

Does anybody know of or recommend a service for messaging use that has a good desktop linux program for small business use?

Gotta make sure those 'arythmetically encoded jpg files' are working.

Hello Everyone,

I am new here and also Linux is newish to me, I have used a few time back in the days but now I have pulled the trigger and have converted my full time laptop to run Linux.
So there is a lot for me to learn. I have tried to run a search from the search bar so if I have happened to missed it please don't roast me that badly.

Anyway enough of my boring stuff, I was wondering if anyone here have any issues on setting up L2TP VPN connection?
I am runing LL4.8 with:
network-manager-l2tp
network-manager-l2tp-gnome

So far this is have managed to setup an L2TP profile on the network VPN connection.

I have put in the usual settings:
Gateway (Tried both hostname and IP address),
add in the Username and Password,
I have confirmed the account is working as I have tested the same account under Windows and Via the Phone it seems to be connecting ok.

Under IPsec setting:
Enable IPsec tunnel to L2TP host
Enter in the Pre-Shared Key xxxxxx,

Under L2TP PPP Options:
Allow PAP Authentication (confirmed with Cisco support that this PAP is the one to use)
I did try a few different combination such as MSCHAP, MSCHAPv2 still didn't work.

With the above setting I am unable to get it connected and kept failing on me.

If there is one of you guru can point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure if I am missing on some plugin? or perhaps I have missed out on some tick box?

Let me know if you wanted me to upload some pic

Kind regards
Newbie User

I installed Tor browser from install/software.
And said yes to all dependencies needed.
It installed but wont launch.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I've tried many distros. Mainly for portable USB.
THIS distro is the best, simply becasue it's easy to use and everything WORKS!

It's the only distro I've not had to troubleshoot.. and usually fail doing so.


I managed to figure out im Running 4.8.
Can I upgrade without having to do a fresh install?

If so, how?
Thanks !

Looking for something that will let me edit tag info manually on an entire folder of files. All I have that even comes close is Music Brainz, but it doesn't do this. Just need to be able to change/add title, artist, whatever to a whole folder of files. I did a folder manually just now via the Properties tab but what a pain that was; sixteen files, one at a time.

Installed linux lite today ;D. All folders are showing full name :-[. I have very long folder names and because of that folders in the second row is pushed down because of long text folder name from first row. Is there anyway to change this so my folders dont get pushed down by long text folders. Thanx
