Comment on systemd unit file creating a service by Admin https://linuxhint.com/systemd_unit_file_service/#comment-417 Thu, 28 Jan 2021 22:46:02 +0000 https://linuxhint-com.zk153f8d-liquidwebsites.com/?p=32146#comment-417 Hi!

I just wanted to let you know that there might be an error in the first code sample. I could not get it to work without changes.

I think that the line “WantedBy=multi-user.target” should be in a section titled “[Install]”, not in the “[Unit]” section.

Best regards,
Jakob

Comment on How to Use AutoKey to Automate Linux Games by Nitesh Kumar https://linuxhint.com/autokey_automate_linux_games/#comment-416 Wed, 20 Jan 2021 15:41:43 +0000 https://linuxhint.com/?p=51096#comment-416 This is doable but you may need additional tools, mainly “xdotool” and “xbindkeys”. Xdotool allows you to simulate keyboard and mouse input. Xbindkeys can be used to assign scripts to keyboard shortcuts. Note that the way keyboard input works on Linux, repeating keys may be turned off automatically when you press any other key. You can also use the AutoKey app mentioned in the article. But in-case repeat mode is not interrupted when you press any other key, you can try using the “xinput” command to disable keyboard and then re-enable it by running two consecutive commands in a script.

Here are some documentation links that should help you:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/xbindkeys.1.html
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/xdotool.1.html
https://github.com/autokey/autokey/wiki

The AutoKey wiki includes some example scripts that you want to go through. Thanks.

When it’s not a bad time,

With AutoKey, how would it be possible to repeat key presses?
Not sure if it’s possible, but if it is pretty sure you’re the one who could do it.
That is because of your article. https://linuxhint.com/autokey_automate_linux_games/

Not that you would have time, but here’s my goal.
———————————————————————
Up arrow activates key press down repeat. (The cursor control key to the right of the right ctrl.)
Right arrow activates key toggle key.
Down arrow turns off both scripts.

keypress repeat: (repeats while the key is pressed by user)
-for example hold “e” after hitting up arrow / cancel on down arrow
->e down
->sleep 0.2 seconds +random delay 0-0.1 seconds
->e up
->sleep 0.2 seconds +random delay 0-0.1 seconds

keypress toggle: (repeats for maybe 2 hours)
-for example press “e” after hitting right arrow / cancel on down arrow
->e down
->sleep 0.2 seconds +random delay 0-0.1 seconds
->e up
->sleep 0.2 seconds +random delay 0-0.1 seconds

Comment on How to Run Android in QEMU to Play 3D Android Games on Linux by Nitesh Kumar https://linuxhint.com/android_qemu_play_3d_games_linux/#comment-413 Tue, 18 Feb 2020 05:08:27 +0000 https://linuxhint.com/?p=50205#comment-413 In the article I have mentioned that you must have Ubuntu 19.04+ for this to work as it ships QEMU with VirGL enabled.

For other distributions, users may have to manually compile QEMU with VirGL support. They can also use QEMU package provided by the distribution if it has been compiled with VirGL.

So there is no minimum version requirement. The only requirement is to have QEMU compiled with VirGL libs.

To check if VirGL is enabled or not, users will have to go through package source or search mailing lists and bug tracker. Getting black screen indicates that VirGL support may be missing. So first, it is necessary to confirm if VirGL is indeed enabled in the installed QEMU package

Comment on How to Install Dropbox on Manjaro Linux by Admin https://linuxhint.com/install_dropbox_manjaro_linux/#comment-409 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 16:17:41 +0000 https://linuxhint.com/?p=33714#comment-409 Mr. Sidratul Muntaha:

That you suggested on
https://linuxhint.com/install_dropbox_manjaro_linux/ worked fine for me.

I just needed to add something related to “”Verifying source file
signatures with gpg…” an issue that I was facing after trying and
trying. Sorry by bothering you, I thought that maybe will be useful for
other Linuxhint.com users.

As dropbox.git developer suggested I downloaded Dropbox’s public key
from https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc and import it
from /home/xx./Downloads with gpg –import rpm-public-key.asc

Many thanks! You article was very useful!

Best regards!

Comment on Linux security Best Practices 2018 by Nick https://linuxhint.com/linux-security-best-practices-2018/#comment-392 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 05:21:03 +0000 https://linuxhint-com.zk153f8d-liquidwebsites.com/?p=21352#comment-392 In general it’s okay, but there are much more Options to tighten Linux Security.

1) Browser
A Browser must always run in an sandboxed Environment. This is easily possible with Tools like Firejail or as Flatpak in Future. There must always be Addons like uBlock, uMatrix and NoScript present, to mitigate many Web based Threats.

2) Encryption
Whenever it’s possible, make massive use of Encryption. Also only with trusted Software like GPG and dm-crypt/LUKS, to mitigate Data Theft and Manipulation of your System.

3) Clever Setup
With Linux it’s possible to Split the complete System into many separate Volumes. And now each Volume can be much more secured than before. It can be read-only all the Time, or can get more secure with nodev, noexec and nosuid Mountoptions. This Praktice also makes Backups more easily. The Program chattr is also nice, to make specific Files immutable.

4) Choose the right Desktop
There are so many Linux-Desktops out there, but only 2-3 (KDE, Sway, GNOME) of them make use of Security-Features like, Wayland or Isolation with Sandboxes for her own Desktop and Programs. Also make use of Flatpak, to isolate many Programs out of the Box. At this Time all Gnome-Programs are available as Flatpak, and this is a huge Step forward for Linux-Desktop Security.

5) SELinux and AppArmor
Solutions like these are always a good Addition for Security.

6) VMs and Containers
For Security Reasons i suggest a massive use of them, for many different and dangerous Tasks.

7) Systemd
With Systemd it’s possible to run System Services much more securely. It’s all explained in the Manpage systemd.exec. This is highly recommended for Services like, SSH, Apache and many more.

8) Validate Backups
Many People make Backups, but never test them. And if you can’t restore them, all Backups are completely useless.

These are my Recommendations. Maybe you can update your Blog if you like them.
