| der_Rikkit | Hello there, i just installed ubuntu studio 19.10. Currently I'm in the process of setting it up. Can someone tell me where I can check/setup my firewall? Thanks | 20:58 |

| tomreyn | if you'd like to configure a host based firewall, there's "ufw" as a simplified frontend for iptables. a graphical interface "gufw" exists but i'm not sure i want to recommend this. | 21:02 |
| tomreyn | der_Rikkit: ^ | 21:03 |
| tomreyn | since all ubuntu flavours have a common foundation, you can generally ask such questions in #ubuntu, too, where you may get a faster response. | 21:03 |
| tomreyn | (but here is fine, too, if you prefer) | 21:04 |
| der_Rikkit | ahh, thanks, I'm quite new to the linux world, so thanks for pointing directions. I'm basicly looking for an option to check which ports are open, and to close those I don't need. if ufw can do that, I'm already happy. | 21:06 |
| tomreyn | i don't think checking which ports something is listening on is ufw's purpose. but it could enable filtering for ports. | 21:08 |
| tomreyn | sudo lsof -i should list ports which something is listening on, or ss, or sudo netstat -tulpen | 21:09 |
| der_Rikkit | thanks for the help so far, seems like i have to read alot to remotly understand how to setup ufw in a secure way. At least i know where to start now. | 21:14 |
| tomreyn | you're welcome. most home users don't strictly need a host based firewall as long as they don't need to setup services which shouldn't be available to everyone on the (wireless?) LAN. | 21:16 |
| der_Rikkit | well, this pc may connect to not so friendly free wifis in the future, so I prefer to have at least some kind of defence | 21:23 |
| tomreyn | sure, if this is a computer you connect to different networks, including ones you don't fully trust, you should take some precautions, such as not having services listen and / or using a host based firewall. | 21:27 |

| Guest35116 | Hello! I'm curious: Does anybody know how to load a scale into the Scala Quantizer in AMS? I'm told that no scale has been loaded, but I can't find a button to do just that. | 22:26 |
