Ok, so I'm still learning Linux. The past couple days I've been going through every directory and opening up the files to read what they contain. I've read quite a bit about remote access. At the time I didn't know that the remote access services were not installed by default. I was using the...

Just checked my messages. I went to remove the other post. I believe it was taken down in my absence. My apologies.

Linux Mint 20 and 20.1

Can someone give me the best route to go about this. I don't and have never used ssh, ftp, telnet etc.

Still no logging...

Thank you for your response Expirion #The input for 'sudo service rsyslog status' was: rsyslog.service - System Logging Service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2021-02-09 13:06:38 CST; 20min ago...

So I've been making it a habit of checking my logs on a daily basis to familiarize myself with what is normal so I can hopefully spot suspicious activity. Well last night after browsing the world wide web for hours and hours I decided to cd into my logs to see what they were talking about...

Thank you

I know about that one. I was wanting to avoid having to remove/add symlinks. But I believe I found a solution. If I sudo gnome-logs in terminal it will open gnome-logs with admin rights and I'm able to view what I need. I am just unsure if this is the right way to do it? I appreciate your help...

Hey guys, it's been awhile since I last posted. Still exploring and learning Linux. Well I've got a question about something and I cannot figure it out! So I have firejail, and I used the 'sudo firecfg' command to symlink the programs that firejail has profiles for. Well firejail created a...

Hey everyone. I backtracked my steps trying to see what caused this issue, and I found the answer! A conky installation from a 3rd party repository. Yup. I knew better to use such a repository but conky had me amazed. Be careful what you download.

Oh yeah, I forget to mention, a day or 2 ago I was using a textbook that taught how to use entrusion detection tools to see if your system had been compromised. Well during my study I was using the passwd file and the casper file(sorry can't remember the exact names) so maybe I did something I...

I appreciate all your help. I rebooted and the test user disappeared and so did my login. I rebooted again and sure enough my login credentials we're missing. I was forced to manually enter my username and password when I never use auto login. I then entered my username and password and it...

Linux Mint 20, updated. Yes I can login. I was just truly caught off guard by seeing another login because I'm the only person that uses this box. When I got inside I immediately checked users and it has a Test user. I just rebooted and now I am unable to login....weird.

Ive been on my computer all day. I went to reboot and I noticed "test" is listed as a login option. I did not do anything knowingly that would enable such a feature. Should I be concerned?

Is that virus in Ventoy legit?

Im interested in Firejail so I read and followed your guide. I appreciate the work you do to help others learn things like this. Well, after install i ran 'firejail firefox' and terminal said that firefox didnt exist. I thought perhaps there was some type of error so I uninstalled and...

My apologies for the late response. Im under the weather. When I was experimenting with Ventoy I knew I had to boot with a live iso. I wanted to bypass the initial install screen, and the installer icon, along with the various packages that are uninstalled automatically during a normal...

Wait till you get into plugins!! I'm actually now waiting for my persistence file do get done syncing so I can see if my .json file with persistence+password strings works together. I know the persistence .json string works by itself but I added a password string as well. Do you know if...

I'm curious to know if it is possible to modify a Mint20.iso by removing the installer so that all your left with is a base system of Mint 20? Ran into an article about a program called Ventoy. I'm experimenting with it today and the modified .iso idea popped into my head.
