Re: How do I take a partial screenshot in KDE?
Another nice screen shot utility under linux I was using for a bit is flameshot. It's rather nice, feels a bit heavier than I need so I tend to just use spectacle mostly. -mb On Thu, Nov 17, 2022 at 1:20 PM Keith Smith via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > > Cool, Thanks!! > > > > On 2022-11-17 12:57, Aaron Jones via PLUG-discuss wrote: > > scrot -s > > > > You then just highlight what you want a pic of. > > > >> On Nov 17, 2022, at 12:50, Keith Smith via PLUG-discuss > >> wrote: > >> > >> Thank You Rusty!! > >> > >>> On 2022-11-17 12:46, Rusty Carruth via PLUG-discuss wrote: > >>> If you don't mind a heavy application, I use GIMP for this (on > >>> WIndblows and Linux, but on W you can't do capture region). > On 11/17/22 09:15, Keith Smith via PLUG-discuss wrote: > Thanks Michael!! > On 2022-11-10 20:11, Michael Butash wrote: > > In Spectacle, set the Capture Mode Area to rectangular region, then > > you can play with delay if you need to click on something then > > shoot > > it in a few seconds. > > Works like a champ usually, I use it mostly every day. > > -mb > > On Thu, Nov 10, 2022 at 7:08 PM Keith Smith via PLUG-discuss > > wrote: > >> Hi, > >> I am running Kubuntu 22.04. > >> I would like to be able to take a snippet (specific region) of my > >> screen, not the entire screen. > >> My research shows that I can use spectacle take a screen shot, > >> however I > >> am not finding that I can take a portion of the screen. > >> Then I ran into this : > >> == > >> Do you want to capture the image of your entire screen?

Re: Anyone use Google Fi ??
My Family and I have been using Fi for several years. It's reliable, quite reasonably priced and when I have had issues the customer service is very helpful (and polite). I especially like that any unused data at the end of the money is rebated to you ($10/Gb/Mo) I should note that we have always used either Pixel phones or those phones sold directly via Fi. I have no experience with bringing your own device to Fi. Peter On 11/17/2022 11:59 AM, joe--- via PLUG-discuss wrote: Does anyone here use Google Fi ??

Re: Consumer Cloud Storage for InterOp
No Stephen, I'm saying I don't like administering this kind of thing. I'm willing to pay a service like $125.00 per year for a terabyte of storage, like I for for Google Drive, but if I do I want the risk management of my data--including business risk of bankruptcy, protection against data corruption and loss, protection against accidental or malicious access to my private information or data, and uptime to be comparable to Google's.

nextcloud has a desktop client for most OS's Win, OX, and Linux of multiple varieties. but it otherwise runs as a website application. If you do not want to run a Linus box it runs well in docker or a vm, and they have ready-to-run images for you. I run it nicely as part of my unlimited hosting, but without a memory cache of any sort, it has moments of sluggishness. and The sync tool runs much like Google Drive sync or MS Onedrive you point it at one or moe directories.

If you just want a simple screenshot without any annotations/fancy editing capabilities, the default keyboard shortcuts will do the trick. These are not specific to Ubuntu.

Shift + PrtSc – Save a screenshot of a specific region to Pictures. Alt + PrtSc – Save a screenshot of the current window to Pictures.

Ctrl + Alt + PrtSc – Copy the screenshot of the current window to the clipboard. === Ok, it looks like I have spectacle installed by default. I tried "Shift + PrtSc" and I got the entire screen. Image quality seems decent. If I have to I can edit the screenshot. Would like to avoid that extra step. Any Thoughts? Thanks!!

Keith On 2022-11-06 07:29, George Toft via PLUG-discuss wrote: Short answer to all of your questions is yes, you can do this. I did it for several years, and it came in really handy when I wanted to control the Internet usage of my pubescent children. I set up DNS locally - I used georgetoft.com and had it split - outside my house (public) only had the simple entries for the A, MX, CNAME records. Inside my house, I included the file server, FTP, web and mail server hosts. Then I set up a DHCP server that issued my DNS server's IP as part of the DHCP response. That way, everyone in the house could access the internal resources. Now when my teenage children got the hormones and thought they knew more than me, I set up two different DHCP configs and used cron to activate one profile in the daytime and a different one at night. To make this work, I turned off DHCP and WiFi on the Internet Gateway and used my own DHCP server and WiFi Access Point, with a TTL of 60 seconds. At the appointed time, the nighttime profile kicked in which only allowed the approved MAC addresses to get a DHCP address, effectively cutting them off from the Internet both by their PC and their phones. They were out of high school before they figured out how to make their phones into hotspots - LOL. As far as running your own mail server - yes you can (and I did for a while), but the effort really isn't worth it. Back when I would get 1 or 2 SPAM per week, and took great delight in tracking down their mail provider and ISP and filing SPAM complaints, but when it ramped up to 50/day, I outsourced it to a provider that managed SPAM blocking. I tried blacklisting entire countries by IP - that helped. I tried subscribing to blacklists - that helped, but in the end, I had more important things to do than spend hours per week managing an email server.

In this case, if I am in he local net I can bring it up with MyBusiness.local?? If so then I should be able to add subdomains to the local BIND/zone... So will this private network work like the public Internet? This makes me believe I can create a mail server on this private net for the users of this private net. Not that I want to, however it is interesting. I read that MAC is doing something with the .local domain so it was recommended to use: .test .example .invalid .localhost Would it be possible to create a private network using one of these private TLDs and can I use BIND to control this? How will my browser know to go to my private domain if I use one of these private domains - I seem to recall needing to put this in the hosts file on Linux and Windows so it would resolve. Would BIND override this? Thanks!!

Re: Anyone use Google Fi ??

Re: Consumer Cloud Storage for InterOp
I enjoy programming a lot and dislike sysadmin (one reason I don't use a Linux desktop more. It's like owning a classic car. You're always tinkering with it. The other is "why won't Word ### run on this!") With that in mind are there any large, stable, reputable companies running nextcloud services for consumers. Can nextcloud services be integrated into GUI file browsers on the three OSes? (Maybe with something like FUSE or son-of-FUSE?) Some nice things about Google Drive and OneDrive is they are unlikely to abruptly go out of business taking my data with them and they are likely to keep my data more reliably and securely than I could (of course, they may use it for big data research, targeted marketing, and State can get access to it with just a subpoena, not a search warrant.)

Re: Proxmox
Thank you for sticking with me and all the help JD!! For some reason VB will not work on Kubuntu 22.04. Or at least I am having a really bad go of it.

AND this morning I tried to create a VM using Ubuntu 22.04 and it would not allow me to create a VM with 22.04 it kept showing me Ubuntu 20.04... I tried twice and then uninstalled VB. My computer has been cycled several times so I suspect this is not a Kernel Issue. I can get Ubuntu 20.04 to work on my Windows 10 laptop using VirtualBox Maybe I am doing something wrong... I do not know. Worked on it for about 20 hours and it is time to move on to where I ultimately wanted to go -> Proxmox. We will see what success I will have with that. Thanks!!

My Win 10 box died last week and I think it is just that Windows got corrupted. It is an i5 with 4 cores and 4 threads and 16Gb of RAM. For the hard drive I have an 1TB SSD. This was my daily driver. I moved to win about 6 years ago for business reasons. I am thinking of loading Proxmox on this computer and just moving forward. I watched a video on Proxmox and it looks simple enough. My needs are simple. I am a PHP developer and want to make 4 or 5 virtual machines for testing. One two machines will be active at any given time. I assume I will need 2vCPU's and 2 - 4 GB of RAM per VM. Basically I need to configure each VM to have a static IP on my network so I can access the VM using SSH, Filezilla, and Visual Studio Code. Your basic LAMP and LEMP stack PHP development and testing. Any thoughts are very much appreciated.

Re: Oracle's VirtualBox RANT
I appreciate all your feedback Steve. VirtualBox was supposed to be an interim step until I could afford a Proxmox machine. I think I will put Proxmox on the computer that was running Windows and died. I need to test the hardware... I think Windows got corrupted and the hardware is fine. I hope to build Proxmox tomorrow.

[snip] My expectation was that I could download and install VB then create a guest instance and configure my VM as I like, and in my case I want to have it have an IP on my local private network, and be able to put that IP in my browser and do some testing. I've done just this with Qemu. VirtualBox in my opinion is what is wrong with technology. I've said it before and I'll say it again, technology has become too difficult. The whole idea of virtual machines is blindingly difficult. If virtual machines weren't so darn helpful, I wouldn't use them. I used VirtualBox for a little while before switching to Qemu. I didn't find VirtualBox any more difficult or complicated than Qemu. I switched to Qemu for three reasons: 1) Your mileage may vary, but I found Virtualbox to be unstable and crashy. 2) I prefer Qemu's shellscript paradigm to VirtualBox's point and click paradigm. Indeed, preference of shellscripts over point and click was one reason I migrated from Windows to Linux. 3) I don't like Ellisonware. Although I don't dislike Ellisonware as much as Gatesware or Poetterware, I'd prefer not to have my workflow depend on the whims of Larry Ellison. Anyway, if you'd like to see how I solved your particualar problem with Qemu, see http://troubleshooters.com/linux/qemu/nobs.htm . I have a feeling you can use the VirtualBox equivalents to solve this problem. Please understand documentation on virtual machines is ambigous, contradictory, often false, based on single-setup anecdotes, etc, so it stands to reason that something with so many components is incredibly difficult to get right, under the circumstances.

Then I ran into this : == Do you want to capture the image of your entire screen? A specific region? A specific window? If you just want a simple screenshot without any annotations/fancy editing capabilities, the default keyboard shortcuts will do the trick. These are not specific to Ubuntu. Almost all Linux distributions and desktop environments support these keyboard shortcuts. Let’s take a look at the list of keyboard shortcuts you can utilize: PrtSc – Save a screenshot of the entire screen to the “Pictures” directory. Shift + PrtSc – Save a screenshot of a specific region to Pictures. Alt + PrtSc – Save a screenshot of the current window to Pictures. Ctrl + PrtSc – Copy the screenshot of the entire screen to the clipboard. Shift + Ctrl + PrtSc – Copy the screenshot of a specific region to the clipboard. Ctrl + Alt + PrtSc – Copy the screenshot of the current window to the clipboard. === Ok, it looks like I have spectacle installed by default. I tried "Shift + PrtSc" and I got the entire screen. Image quality seems decent. If I have to I can edit the screenshot. Would like to avoid that extra step. Any Thoughts? Thanks!!

Re: Dot Local Domains
George Toft, have not seem you in a while. Thanks for all this feedback. Eventually I will configure DNS on my private net. Love your parental controls!! I hope to configure a home server in the future. The first time it was so I could say I did it. The second time (future) I hope to learn a lot more and I would like to have the bragging rights. Keith On 2022-11-06 07:29, George Toft via PLUG-discuss wrote: Short answer to all of your questions is yes, you can do this. I did it for several years, and it came in really handy when I wanted to control the Internet usage of my pubescent children. I set up DNS locally - I used georgetoft.com and had it split - outside my house (public) only had the simple entries for the A, MX, CNAME records. Inside my house, I included the file server, FTP, web and mail server hosts. Then I set up a DHCP server that issued my DNS server's IP as part of the DHCP response. That way, everyone in the house could access the internal resources. Now when my teenage children got the hormones and thought they knew more than me, I set up two different DHCP configs and used cron to activate one profile in the daytime and a different one at night. To make this work, I turned off DHCP and WiFi on the Internet Gateway and used my own DHCP server and WiFi Access Point, with a TTL of 60 seconds. At the appointed time, the nighttime profile kicked in which only allowed the approved MAC addresses to get a DHCP address, effectively cutting them off from the Internet both by their PC and their phones. They were out of high school before they figured out how to make their phones into hotspots - LOL. As far as running your own mail server - yes you can (and I did for a while), but the effort really isn't worth it. Back when I would get 1 or 2 SPAM per week, and took great delight in tracking down their mail provider and ISP and filing SPAM complaints, but when it ramped up to 50/day, I outsourced it to a provider that managed SPAM blocking. I tried blacklisting entire countries by IP - that helped. I tried subscribing to blacklists - that helped, but in the end, I had more important things to do than spend hours per week managing an email server.

From what I read it appears I may be able to create an Intranet that has a private domain name such as MyBusiness.local, on a private IP, and I am thinking I can run BIND and make a zone file for this Intranet. In this case, if I am in he local net I can bring it up with MyBusiness.local?? If so then I should be able to add subdomains to the local BIND/zone... So will this private network work like the public Internet? This makes me believe I can create a mail server on this private net for the users of this private net. Not that I want to, however it is interesting. I read that MAC is doing something with the .local domain so it was recommended to use: .test .example .invalid .localhost Would it be possible to create a private network using one of these private TLDs and can I use BIND to control this? How will my browser know to go to my private domain if I use one of these private domains - I seem to recall needing to put this in the hosts file on Linux and Windows so it would resolve. Would BIND override this? Thanks!!

Fully automatic install (FAI) isn't automated enough
Hello everyone. I recently tried setting up an FAI server (fai-project.org) to PXE boot an automatic install of Linux to a machine. There is one major problem, in my opinion: It isn't automated enough To use the PXE functionality, one needs to either assign every MAC address in ISC-DHCP configs (and I know you can do a range of MAC addresses, I just don't know what to use since we have a variety of laptops) and I think the IP needs to be set in /etc/hosts. (Source: [https://fai-project.org/fai-guide/\#\_a\_id\_bootdhcp\_a\_configuration\_of\_the\_dhcp\_daemon][https_fai-project.org_fai-guide_a_id_bootdhcp_a_configuration_of_the_dhcp_daemon] ) Alternatively, I can make a FAI USB that will search for the monitoring FAI server. But this requires booting to the USB every time, which means moving the USB(s) across laptops as it gets figured out. (Source: [https://fai-project.org/fai-guide/\#autodiscover][https_fai-project.org_fai-guide_autodiscover] ) So... Does anyone know a PXE install server that will install a Linux system and only needs the computer to boot through PXE to make it happen, and doesn't have a requirement to specify MAC addresses? Or perhaps there is a way to make ISC-DHCP not need to care about the MAC address used..? I dunno, at this point, let me know what you all think.
