Need Help Executing commands inside of Bash Script

January 31, 2021, 11:12 am

Hello all - Scripting n00b here. I'm setting up the UFW and I have a file with about 80,000 commands I need to run. I figured I would just loop through the file and execute the commands, but I'm have an issue doing it. Need some help. Here's what I built so far:

SetupUFW.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash

while read p; do

  echo "$p"

done < BlockList.txt

BlockList.txt (80,000 lines that look like this:)

Code:

sudo ufw deny from 1.0.1.0/24

sudo ufw deny from 1.0.2.0/23

sudo ufw deny from 1.0.8.0/21

As you can see, I'm trying to loop through the file called BlockList.txt as I have already built it with the commands necessary. How can I loop through each line and execute the lines? Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Hiya!

I don't know much about Samba, but why do I see two entries of the same Samba Server on my local network?

Here I have two server machines, UBUNTU64 (Samba v1) and M75Q (Samba v2):

Why two M75q?

Multiple ISPs and static IP from one ISP

≪ Previous: [Samba v2] Duplicate entries?

Dear All,
Question before I make a mistake.
I currently have a wan connection (internet), which hosts 8 ip address (on router A from ISP A), apart from the networking required addresses 1 is used as a default route and the remaining 5 are forwarding traffic (NOT NATTING) to 5 internal devices which are accessible from the internet. Router A has a number of static routes all pointing to an internal ubuntu machine acting as a router for the subnets. All works perfectly.

If I wanted to add an addition ISP via router B (much faster connections but no services such as mail DNS , static IPs) as a new outbound default route

I assume I can use the ubuntu router to by default route all traffic via router B, BUT any traffic to from my servers with static ip addresses from router A still to use router A for outbound & access to specific services at ISP A to be touted via router a ?

Lastly if ISP B fails, to be able to switch back the default route to ISP A automatically if possible

Would this be route commands on the ubuntu server and if so any tips?

Many Thanks
Andrew

I have a laptop whose wifi suddenly stopped working, but only for one ssid. It was connected to the desired ssid and working fine with my manual config, but not anymore. I tried switching back to dhcp but that didnt help. I can connect to my service providers ssid just fine.

When connected to the desired ssid i get the little connected to wifi icon in the top bar, but i cant even ping the gateway. I updated everythin and tried a restart but still cant get internet.

i am genuinely baffled. heres some more info:

HP networkprinter (partially) unreachable

≪ Previous: Why is ping command not resolving names?

Hi all!

I encountered the following strange behavior on the Ubuntu laptop from a friend. She updated from 18.04 to 20.04 last week and wanted to reinstall her HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 network printer, which was working correctly before.

Since she didn't like the auto discovered printers popping-up all the time, I've tried to disable the auto-discovery. I might have messed up something here. What I did was:

systemctl stop cups-browsed
systemctl disable cups-browsed

Since that didn't work I've enabled an started the service again. I've also tried to put BrowseProtocols to None in /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf, which also didn't seem to work. I've reverted these settings.

Since she's using HPLIP (repository version), we wanted to reinstall the printer here. Unfortunately the printer was not found anymore. Nevertheless, the printer seemed to be auto-discovered again in the Ubuntu printer screen.
I've tried to ping the printer, which was not possible. Also trying to open the embedded web server of the printer was not working (address unreachable). However if she tries to open the embedded web server from her smartphone in Chrome (same WiFi network), this works. Why it is not reachable from her laptop (Firefox and Chromium) is not clear to me. I have the same printer at home as well, and I can ping it and browse to it from mu Ubuntu 20.04 desktop.
FYI: other IP's like the default gateway are pingable and reachable via the web-browser, only the IP address of the printer is not reachable.

I've tried to remove HPLIP and CUPS afterwards (apt purge), and reinstall it, that however didn't solve anything, as I was afraid. Next I've removed HPLIP and downloaded the latest version from the HP website. I've installed it, but also here the same problem: no printer found with HPLIP. I've removed the downloaded version again and reinstalled the version from the repository, however now I cannot startup the HP toolbox at all anymore (it crashes: I think the version from the HP website did break something).

I can add the printer manually via CUPS in the web browser. It is displayed there and I can install it. However when trying to print something, it says that communication with the printer is not possible.

I'm out of ideas at the moment, what can be wrong. Can someone help?

Many thanks in advance!

Please give me instructions as if I was a child who knows nothing of linux.

I just downloaded ubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64 today.
I installed it on my PC with a gigabyte g1.Sniper H6 that uses the Qualcomm^® Atheros Killer E2201 LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)
The installation seems to have gone fine with the exception that ubuntu says my ethernet cable is unplugged. Which it is not.
I have read that the e2200 series is a pain to get working. Can anyone link me to a thread that shows how to get it up and running for Ubuntu 20.04.1?

I have no way of accessing the internet with the PC in question.
I do have access to a laptop running windows 10, which I am using to make this post.

Realtek Ethernet connection stops working when I leave it plugged in

≫ Next: RDP connection to Windows server 2016?

≪ Previous: Atheros Killer E2201 LAN chip

This is a weird issue that I've had for years, except now I kind of need to be able to leave my LAN wire plugged in.

I have a Toshiba Satellite P755. I have a dual boot with Windows. This issue doesn't happen with Windows.

When I turn it on, if the cable is plugged in, the ethernet port won't even be recognized by Ubuntu. I've tried plugging the cable in and out, and nothing changes. If I unplug the wire, turn the computer off completely, and then boot up, the ethernet port will be there, and I can get a wired connection by just plugging it back.

I can plug it in without issues after the Mate logo goes away during bootup. At that point, it shows what looks like a console screen with a few short messages, saying that it's already loaded drivers and it's executing something like "script/init-premount". However, I can't leave it plugged in during shutdown.

This is the normal output of sudo lshw -C network:

When it's failing, the output is the same for the Wireless interface, but the Ethernet block doesn't show up.

This looks to me like a driver issue, but I'm not sure. The Additional Drivers application doesn't show any new drivers, and "Install Firmware Package" didn't help either. Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a solution?

I'm hoping it can be solved with something like changing how or when the drivers are loaded, or adding a couple of lines to a script that runs during bootup. Any ideas to what that script is at the beginning?

External hard drive - use by both Ubuntu and Windows, and share using samba questions

February 5, 2021, 12:35 pm

≫ Next: [SOLVED] WiFi hard blocked on linux but works on Windows

≪ Previous: RDP connection to Windows server 2016?

I recently obtained a large external drive that I will use for backing up of my critical data (separately from cloud backups).

I formatted the drive using FAT and my plan is to encrypt it using VeraCrypt. That way I can read/write from both my Ubuntu and Windows PCs (when directly plugged in).

Question #1, should I encrypt the entire partition in VeraCrypt or create a very large encrypted volume?

Second, it would be nice if I could access this drive across my network via a share (leaving it plugged into my Ubuntu machine, using the share to access it from Windows and hopefully my phone). Right up front I'll state that I'm not knowledgeable on creating shares in Ubuntu so I'll need help with that.

Question #2, is what I'd ideally like to do (above) doable with a share, considering that I'm sharing a drive encrypted with Veracrypt? This circles back to Question #1, since I assume one method would make it easier to share than the other? Maybe not.

Appreciate any input! Thanks.

I have been using Ubuntu and Windows dual boot for over an year now on my HP laptop with Ralink RT3290 wireless card. My wifi worked out of the box on both Windows and Ubuntu. A few days back I decided to update my BIOS from F.18 to F.45 version. After this update my wifi was hard blocked on Ubuntu, although it still worked on Windows. It was even hard blocked on other linux live usbs.

Code:

0: phy0: Wireless LAN

    Soft blocked: no

    Hard blocked: yes

I have tried almost every possible solution that have been posted on the internet. Things that I have tried:-

Toggling physical wifi switch.

sudo rfkill unblock all

Disabling fast boot on windows.

Turning on/off wifi on windows and then trying it on linux.

Disabling `turn off wifi to save power` in windows.

Checking `sudo dmesg` for any errors related to the wifi and wifi driver `rt2800pci`

All these things on Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 20.4 and Arch linux live usb.

Resetting the BIOS. Also my BIOS does not have any option to enable/disable wifi.

Updating the kernel to 5.9.0

Black listing hp_wireless and toggling physical wifi switch, black listing hp_wmi and then toggling physical wifi switch. And all possible combination of black listing the above two modules.

After power off, removing battery, power cord and then holding power button for 1 min. Then putting back the battery, power cord and trying wifi on linux.

Pray to the lord to do a miracle.

But nothing worked. What should I do now?

Some useful information,

[ubuntu] Setting up a Samba AD DC on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS advice/instructions

February 8, 2021, 10:47 am

≫ Next: [xubuntu] WIFI drops out but comes right back

≪ Previous: [SOLVED] WiFi hard blocked on linux but works on Windows

I'm about to embark on installing a new SAMBA AD DC server on Ubuntu 20.04.

This is in anticipation of future removal of NT style Domains from Samba. Its something I've been putting off for years.

Can anyone direct me to a Ubuntu 20.04 tutorial or cook book for accomplishing this task?
Installing samba is easy - configuring it seems complicated and I'm not familiar with most of the necessary components.
I'm a little surprised someone hasn't built a tool for configuring it, although given the variations between different version of Linux it would not be a trivial task.
I've found several on the internet including generic ones from the SAMBA Team and some written by individuals around the internet.
The Samba Team ones seem to be generic Linux and not Ubuntu Specific.
All of the individual ones seem full of editorial comments and personal preferences.

I'm more interested in simplicity than perfection.

Correction: it is wired internet: not wifi.

A couple weeks ago I had problems with the 5.8 kernel: no sound or internet. Manually booting into a 5.4 kernel, everything was fine. So, in Synaptic, I removed all 5.8 kernels. Everything was fine for a couple days. But now, I'll get a message on the screen saying that my internet connection is lost. However, it only stays that way for maybe 4 or 5 seconds and then I get a message saying that it is restored. This happens maybe every 8-10 minutes apart. When it says that the internet connection is lost, it really is for those 4 or 5 seconds. It does not do this in Win10. Any ideas?

I have (managed?) to delete the network manager gui from my host machine panel so I'm not sure where I am. My kvm machine says its Network Source is Bridge br0: Host device eno1 - which looks OK to me - and within the guest machine it says it's ip address is 192.168.1.148 which is the same as my host range. The kvm guest interface is Ethernet (enp1s0). So what is my question? It looks OK to me in that the kvm guests are now 192.168.1.x instead of 192.168.122.x but is it right that both systemd-networkd and Network Manager are both running?

Hey guys,
I'm trying to make changes to my wired connections, like automatically connecting to the VPN. I can do a straight nm-connection-editor and the connection editor GUI comes up, but it won't let me change anything. So I thought I would try SUDO NM-CONNECTION-EDITOR and that gives me the follow error

No Protocol Specified
Unable to init server: could not connect" connection refused

I have gone through the update steps in the sticky before posting and that didn't help. I've also searched the web for this type of error and can't find anything this specific.

One other thing I'm trying to do is get PLEX to bypass the VPN. I have it setup up in the GUI. There is no CONFIG file in /etc/openvpn/client. If I create one in there with just route plex.tv 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.1 will that work, or do I have to create the whole VPN config file with all the settings. I really would like to just keep the GUI setup and control.

Details -
I am running this on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
The server has a dual NIC setup and I get the same results on both NICs (deactivating one doesn't help)
Both nics are just connected to my switch

Hey Everyone,

I am having problems watching videos over a network-connection using VLC and MPV media players. I have Ubuntu Gnome (20.04) installed on my laptop and I am trying to access my Mac Mini server (Running MacOS Big Sur) over SMB Protocol to watch videos / movies (streaming) on VLC. When I try to open a video on a network-share via smb / VLC, I get the following error message:

VLC is unable to open the MRL ‘smb://pc_name/directory/Scrubs%20-%20S03E02.avi’

What I am trying to understand:

Is a problem with the smb password / authentication (also i don’t think so) - I have set my SMB password inside VLC preferences with no improvements.

All my other devices (Apple Laptops, Windows Laptops, Phones, etc.) can access the Mac Mini server and play videos without ANY issues.

When I copy the file (also over SMB) locally to my laptop, I can then play the video in VLC with NO issues.

When I try to play things in the command line, using MPV, this is the output I get:

````

So this makes me think it is a SMB / connection issue to the Mac Mini Server, and ONLY with Ubuntu, and no other devices, since I am able to copy and then play the files locally. If anyone has any ideas / feedback / advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I'm taking... I believe TheFu's advice and doing an OPNSense instead of rolling my own via iptables. My testing is going well. I'm almost ready to move it to primary routing on my lan. I have 2 wan ports coming in. I'm still sorting out how to do the rules but getting it.

My question is of capability. Is it possible to change a wan based on latency for a specific ip automatically? Ultimately my wife's work at home stuff will be on one WAN and rest of our stuff is on the other. 2 isps. If not it's not a big deal and I can create a user for her to switch it herself. I'd just like to make it as easy as possible. Due to our only options for internet being fixed wireless the latencies are usually good but occasionally go sideways hence having both available.

I am in the process of updating our Samba Servers to use AD-DC and would like to find a GUI that would make adding users and machines to the Domain easier.
Is there such a thing? if so what is it.
