[20:58] <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
[21:02] <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.
[21:03] <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.
[21:04] <tomreyn> (but here is fine, too, if you prefer)
[21:06] <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.
[21:08] <tomreyn> i don't think checking which ports something is listening on is ufw's purpose. but it could enable filtering for ports.
[21:09] <tomreyn> sudo lsof -i    should list ports which something is listening on, or ss, or sudo netstat -tulpen
[21:14] <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.
[21:16] <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.
[21:23] <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
[21:27] <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.
[22:26] <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.
