TeamViewer 14 Login Issue on Ubuntu 18.04.01

How-To Remove TeamViewer 14 From Ubuntu 18.04

Teamviewer 14 does not work on Ubuntu 18.04 at the present time. When connecting to a Headless Ubuntu Server using Teamviewer, you are prompted to login, yet your credentials do not work, and the login screen continues to loop with Login, and Invalid Password.

These steps will help you remove the product and replace it with a version or product that does work.

Use Putty locally on the same network your headless system is on

Login

sudo bash

apt-get remove teamviewer

y

reboot

Now time to replace it with a product that works.

Ubuntu Server 16.04.05 USB Installation Requesting CD-ROM

How to fix the Insert CD-ROM Notification when you are not installing from CD-ROM

This fix is simple.  You are running the Ubuntu server installation from a USB drive. 

You get the dialog box asking for the CD-ROM…Simply remove the USB drive (that has the installation media on it) from the port that it is plugged into. 

Move it to another USB Port….and the installation will find the device, think it is a CD-ROM and the install will continue.

Headless Mining RVN with Z-Enemy on Ubuntu 18.04

Using NVIDIA 1080 TI Cards, Ubuntu Server 18.04, and Z-Enemy 1.26 to Mine Raven

Here is the quick installation notes on how to mine Raven.  My hashrate has almost doubled over running ccminer, on the same coin and same pool.

Log into the rig

sudo bash

apt-get -y install libcurl3

mkdir /miner && mkdir /miner/drivers && mkdir /miner/drivers/z-enemy
cd /miner/drivers/z-enemy

wget

tar zxvf z-enemy-1.26-cuda100-Linux.tar.gz

nano Raven.sh

Insert the following into the file#

#!/bin/sh

nvidia-smi -pm 1
nvidia-smi -acp 0
nvidia-smi -pl 300
sleep 2
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

./z-enemy -a x16r -o stratum+tcp://ravenminer.com:3636 -u RMzHAFgqgjV5qLkajBjLQ325V7HWBpG3d9 -p d=16 -i 20

CTRL + X to Save and Exit

chmod +x Raven.sh

./Raven.sh

You are now mining! Thanks for reading!

Installing Teamviewer 13 on Ubuntu 18.04

How to Install Teamviewer on a Headless Server

Teamviewer Installation has changed in the recent version, and the prior directions will not work.  You will continue to receive an error after you insert the password saying there was a connectivity time out.  The new way to install teamviewer is as follows:

Login 

sudo bash

add-apt-repository “deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) universe”

apt-get update

apt-get install gdebi-core

mkdir /home/miner/teamviewer

cd /home/miner/teamviewer

wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer-host_amd64.deb

dpkg -i teamviewer-host_amd64.deb

It will fail and that’s ok because we will fix it here

apt-get -f install

y

After it installs then type

teamviewer info

Take a note of your Teamviewer ID, you will need it later

teamviewer passwd YOURPASSWORDHERE

Now open teamviewer on another computer that you are logged into.  Add the computer using the menu “Add Computer“, enter in your Teamviewer ID and the Password you used in YOURPASSWORDHERE, and you can now connect

Opening Ports on Ubuntu Server 12.04

How to Open Ports Through the Firewall

Originally written for Ubuntu 12.04, not much has changed.  Here are the quick and easy steps to open any port.  For this guide, we will focus on 3306, but you can change that number for any other port number.

In most cases following simple rule opens TCP port 3306:

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp – -dport 3306 -j ACCEPT

Port is now open and you are done!
