Debian 10.x is doing different things to cifs mounts then 8.x.9x



not strong on linux, been using a cifs mount from OMV for 4 years no problem. cifs server is 9.x

this is the mount command

mount -t cifs [//10.55.55.2/Media](https://10.55.55.2/Media) /home/user/mount -o user=cifsuser

on 9.x this is what it mounts as.

on 10.x same exact mount command.

[https://i.imgur.com/buHpKVT.png](https://i.imgur.com/buHpKVT.png)

thus no one but root has write permissions, no does it indicate the extra smb permissions "+"

ok i learned i had no write permissions on any of the os's which now makes sense, i needed to create a group with a gid of 1002 and add the user to it, that worked on 9.x but it appears 10.x is not importing the acl information????

any help would be great!

Are there any all-in-one references, cheatsheets you'd recommend? (Ubuntu cause I'm such a noob)

Well, I'm kinda new to that. Not completely though, I know about bash a little and I did some basic server management before, but just using tutorials on the internet.

Now I've got a personal project without strict time restrictions and I have a willing to do everything the right way... well, at least in a better way than before. I don't want to constantly google pretty specific queries, which solve the task, but doesn't make me learn any faster.

Sorry for that long ass intro. How do people actually learn Linux? I've got this [bash reference](https://gist.github.com/LeCoupa/122b12050f5fb267e75f) which helped a lot back then, are there similar references for Ubuntu specific tools and commands? I want to have somewhat decent knowledge on managing Linux through terminal. Like managing users, permissions and that kind of stuff.

Sorry for not being brief on such a basic topic, but really don't know how to compose it any better. Thanks :)

Asus Fonepad (K004 ME371MG)

Hola! Tengo una tablet Asus Fonepad (K004 ME371MG) y me interesa saber si es conveniente instalarle un sistema operativo que no sea el Android 4.1 que trae de fabrica. Por ejemplo, se me ocurre pasar a instalar un Ubuntu. Es posible o no, y que tengo que ver antes de hacerlo.

Dejo las especificaciones técnicas:

Hello! I have an Asus Fonepad tablet (K004 ME371MG) and I am interested to know if it is convenient to install an operating system other than the Android 4.1 that it brings from the factory. For example, I can think of installing an Ubuntu. It is possible or not, and what I have to see before doing so.

I leave the technical specifications:

Request: What specifically would you like to see more guides on?

**Background** \- I'm hoping to make a career change into Linux, land a decent tech gig.


I've started a blog writing guides *(won't link, if you want to find, you will)*


I'm seeking ideas on what you think, would be nice to see more of. Something a little niche and any tips you have for a young man looking to jump from Construction to the terminal.

Always open for feedback - *I need this break from cutting wood everyday*.

What Terminal Emulator do you use and why?

Seeing all of the different terminal emulators out there, I am paralyzed by choice.

What are the benefits to all of these emulators, and what makes you use the one you are using?

Is it just because it came with the distro you daily? Is that how most people pick their terminal emulator? Or is there actual things you guys look for?

Hot to create firewall in ubutnu 18.04?

Hello as the noscript suggests,

I have been unsuccessful in creating a firewall. The firewall should be capable enough to block to vpn access as well.

I did changed dns using netplan in ubuntu (works)

Created rules using UFW (Don't know if it works)

I am not able to understand how does VPN bypass the firewall created by DNS to block porn, torrent as such.

Any link to learn is highly appreciated.

Thanks
