Re: Ubuntu, how to setup an IPV6 tunnel?
Hey @thetechguy,
I haven't heard of this specific software, but this is a problem I've found with all kinds of things on Linux. Now I'm not bashing Linux, and I'm actually a huge fan (writing this on Ubuntu myself) but holy guacamole do Linux software devs ever love their config files! When I want to do something in Ubuntu, Raspbian or whatever distro I happen to be on, it seems like the config files I'm looking for rarely exist. In those scenarios, here's what I usually do:
1. Create the file myself, pasting in whatever code they want, then reboot.
2. If that doesn't work, I like to review the docs again. This could be my vision talking, but it seems every time I re-read API docs, I always stumble on something I didn't notice before. Maybe it'll lead to some new clue, or some backup plan you can try, or something like that.
3. If that doesn't work, I might also try uninstalling and reinstalling the software. Ubuntu is a bit weird, because it has 4-5 different package managers. At the command-line it has both apt and snap, and in graphical desktops it has its own sort of app-store-like-thing (I think they just call it "Ubuntu Software" or something) and of course Synaptic. Maybe you don't have the latest version, or maybe one of those other tools will include the missing file in its installation process (not to mention AppImage and probably some others I forget).
4. Next obvious answer, Google it (well I prefer to Duck it, but to each his/her own).
5. If I still can't get it working, haven't found any useful info on the interwebz, and can't get an answer on a forum or other resource, then I start thinking about alternatives. One thing I love about Ubuntu, and Linux in general, is that it's built on mostly open source code. This allows programmers to build whatever the heck they want, which means usually, there's more than one way to do what you want. Like for audio, there are libraries like OpenAL, Sox, PortAudio, PulseAudio, Jack, and a ton of others, not to mention straight ALSA (driver API) calls. And on the closed-source side of things you have IrrKlang, I think there was one called FMod or something like that, and the list goes on. Now I don't know enough about server config to know what the options are, but I bet there are tons.
Hope that helps.
