Hello!
I have Ubuntu 16.04 (Desktop Edition) with OpenVPN server and BIND9 installed. I used a script when I installed OpenVPN. My OpenVPN client is a W10 netbook with 4G USB modem.
When I choose to use Google DNS during OpenVPN installation then I can surf the Internet via OpenVPN just fine (on my OpenVPN client W10 machine). But if I choose to use a current DNS settings (ie. my own BIND9 server), then I can connect from client to server, but DNS doesn't work. I know that I must edit config file of OpenVPN server server.conf AND to also edit client.ovpn client's OpenVPN file too. And I don't know exactly whether my DNS server (BIND9) is properly configured to play this kind of role.
When I go to W10's CMD and do ipconfig /all I do see DNS server with a correct IP of my BIND9 (it's a public IP of my Ubuntu machine, actually). Nevertheless, DNS doesn't work on a client machine and I couldn't find a complete step-by-step manual how to enable this scheme.

Hello

Having a somewhat surprising issue - our mail flow on our Zimbra server is down (both inbound and outbound) yet the server seems healthy and no error seems reported.

1. Server is up (8.8.10_GA_3786) on Ubuntu 16
2. Admin health status page shows every service up & running (green)
3. Webmail access is ok
4. IMAP access is ok

However, no mail is flowing in or out.

Trying to send triggers the following errors:

I have a digital scale connected via USB to my Ubuntu laptop and I would like to read the measurements from it.
The serial protocol is very simple (9600,8N1, ttyUSB0) and I'm able to correctly read the measurements by using putty (VT100+) from terminal.

The scale needs to receive the command

"READ<CR><LF>"

Open in new window

in order to send the measurement.
Each measurement has this format:

01ST,GS,   2.5,kg<CR><LF>

Open in new window

if, for example, I'm measuring a 2.5Kg load.

Now, I'm trying to send the READ command from a C application, but I'm not able to get any answer.

#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h> 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <termios.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int set_interface_attribs(int fd, int speed)
{
    struct termios tty;

    if (tcgetattr(fd, &tty) < 0) {
        printf("Error from tcgetattr: %s\n", strerror(errno));
        return -1;
    }

    cfsetospeed(&tty, (speed_t)speed);
    cfsetispeed(&tty, (speed_t)speed);

    tty.c_cflag |= (CLOCAL | CREAD);    /* ignore modem controls */
    tty.c_cflag &= ~CSIZE;
    tty.c_cflag |= CS8;         /* 8-bit characters */
    tty.c_cflag &= ~PARENB;     /* no parity bit */
    tty.c_cflag &= ~CSTOPB;     /* only need 1 stop bit */
    tty.c_cflag &= ~CRTSCTS;    /* no hardware flowcontrol */

    /* setup for non-canonical mode */
    tty.c_iflag &= ~(IGNBRK | BRKINT | PARMRK | ISTRIP | INLCR | IGNCR | ICRNL | IXON);

I have an electronics board which has 16 relays and it works over TCP/IP.
The IP address of the board is 192.168.1.4 and the port is 3000.
I would like to control it with C/C++ under Ubuntu.

There is a list of HEX commands that it is possible to use in order to remotely switch ON and OFF each relay on the board.
This is the list:

"580112000000016C", // switch on the relay 1

"580111000000016B", // switch off the relay 1
"580112000000026D", // switch on the relay 2
"580111000000026C", // switch off the relay 2
"580112000000036E", // so on..
"580111000000036D",
"580112000000046F",
"580111000000046E",
"5801120000000570",
"580111000000056F",
"5801120000000671",
"5801110000000670",
"5801120000000772",
"5801110000000771",
"5801120000000873",
"5801110000000872",
"5801120000000974",
"5801110000000973",
"5801120000000A75",
"5801110000000A74",
"5801120000000B76",
"5801110000000B75",
"5801120000000C77",
"5801110000000C76",
"5801120000000D78",
"5801110000000D77",

"580112000000107B",
"580111000000107A",
"5801130000FFFF77",
"580113000000007B",
"5801100000000069"

I'm correctly able to switch on and off each relay by sending command line commands under Ubuntu:

echo '580112000000016C' | xxd -r -p | nc 192.168.1.4 3000

Open in new window

The above code correctly turns on the relay.

I would like to do the same with C/C++ code since I want to control the …

I've written some simple Python scripts and now I would like to write a Python script that can be installed and run as a service.

I know how to take a Python program and run it as a service but how would I write a Python program that can be installed?

My operating system is Ubuntu 18.04.

I'm developing a WxWidgets application under Ubuntu and I'm using CodeBlocks as IDE.

I need to:

read the data stored in a magnetic card band

check if they are OK

parse the string in order to get the code, the name and the surname

I'm using a USB magnetic card reader and I set a TextCtrl as "focused" so it immediately gets the data from the reader automatically.

The format of the string is like this:

%URSMCC84R04E815LURSO  MARCO_ò8038001605011036724_

Open in new window

The control characters are always the same and I need to read everything between % and _.
I need to obtain three strings:

the first one containing the first 16 chars

the second contains the surname which goes from the 17th till the first space

the third string contains the name and goes from the first char after the space till the _

What is the best way to do this in Wxwidgets?
Moreover, since the reader emulates a keyboard, the output string is read a char at a time, so how can I design the parsing code?

This is the code I'm using to read the string.

void ProjectFrame::OntesseraText(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
    wxString stringa_tessera = tessera->GetValue(); // I read the string coming from the USB reader
    TextCtrl2->ChangeValue( stringa_tessera ); // I load the string in the second TextCtrl just for test
}

void ProjectFrame::OnTextCtrl2Text(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
// TextCtrl used to display the parsed string
}

Open in new window

I see that there is a class wxStringTokenizer, should I use it?
I'm sorry but I'm just a beginner :(

Thank you!

Are you thinking about creating an Amazon Web Services account for your business? Not sure where to start? In this course you’ll get an overview of the history of AWS and take a tour of their user interface.

How do I disable chef-client on a node? 7 days then autoenable is preferred.

Hi,

My company site is currently hosted on windows IIS web server called bob.com (for example). I have setup a separate test site that is on a ubuntu apache server hosted on a different cloud provider.
I want to edit the virtual host configuration on my test site (apache) to be a subdomain of my production website. So on the test site it will be test.bob.com. Is it enough/correct way to change the ServerName to bob.com and the ServerAlias to test.bob.com ? The reason I want to edit the virtualhost config is in order that I can put an ssl cert on test.bob.com
Are there any security concerns/ will there be any connection issues?

Thank you.

Trouble Adding sFTP Access on Ubuntu 18.04 Server

I'm trying to add sFTP access for a few individual customers. I do not want them to have shell access. I found an article here that works. However, I need my Samba users to be able to access these files, as well, so I needed to change the home directory. As soon as I did that, the user is no longer able to log in.

I'm nearly certain this is a permissions issue, but I can't seem to figure out where the problem is.
