|
||||
|
||||
The Linux Users Group (LUG) at UCLA invites you to attend the quarterly Linux
|
||||
Installfest! Please fill out the RSVP form to indicate your pizza preferences.
|
||||
|
||||
* Date: 2025-04-11 (Friday of Week 2)
|
||||
* Time: 6-9 PM
|
||||
* Location: Engineering IV (room TBD)

|

|
||||
## General Info
|
||||
|
||||
LUG hosts a quarterly installfest on Friday of the 2nd week. We will start by
|
||||
giving a presentation on Linux to get newcomers up to speed. Then, attendees
|
||||
will be provided a USB drive and guided in dual booting their computers with
|
||||
Linux (most likely Ubuntu, Debian, or Linux Mint). However, you are welcome to
|
||||
bring your own flash drives and install any distro of your choice. Or if you
|
||||
don't feel comfortable with the possibility of losing their data, you can set
|
||||
up a Virtual Machine instead.
|
||||
|
||||
This time around, we have various Dell Precision workstations that we snatched
|
||||
from the med school's e-waste (lol).
|
||||
|
||||
The officers will also be doing a show-and-tell of their own hardware which
|
||||
they have installed Linux on. Experienced users are also encouraged to show off
|
||||
their own setups.
|
||||
|
||||
At the end, we'll have a SuperTuxKart LAN party with our freshly installed
|
||||
Linux machines.
|
||||
|
||||
## Past Installfests
|
||||
|
||||
You can view pictures from past installfests [here](https://linux.ucla.edu/zenphoto/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Note on Apple Silicon (M1-M4) Macs
|
||||
|
||||
Due to their custom Apple silicon, the only Linux distro which works on M1/M2
|
||||
Macs is the experimental Asahi Linux. There is no support for M3 or M4. You
|
||||
still have the option of setting up a Virtual Machine to run Linux so feel free
|
||||
to come and chat with us!

Come to our Privacy and Security Tech Talk, where officers will give a presentation on why privacy and operations security (OPSEC) is important for *everyone* in the digital age, how to develop a personal threat model, and various tools you can use and habits you can develop to better anonymize yourself. We also share our own recommended resources for further reading.

title: "Breaking News: LUG Replaces UCLA ACM Chapter"

It's about time we deprecated ACM.
|
||||
|
||||
- Unlike **ACM Cloud**, we actually provide [free web hosting](https://linux.ucla.edu/membership/) and educate our members on [self-hosting](https://linux.ucla.edu/W25_Selfhost.pptx).
|
||||
- Unlike **ACM AI**, we actually provide GPUs to members, run our own free chatbot, and have members publishing in [top conferences](https://openreview.net/forum?id=62hJ09Z0NU).
|
||||
- LUG finished first in the **ACM Cyber** CTF last spring, despite never going to a meeting. We had our own meeting on [cybersecurity](/events/privsec-w25/), anyway.
|
||||
- LUG is endorsed by the most GOATed CS professor ([Eggert](https://samueli.ucla.edu/time-zone-king-how-one-ucla-computer-scientist-keeps-digital-clocks-ticking/)).
|
||||
- Unlike **ACM ICPC**, where they grind LeetCode Hards that are [solvable by AI now](https://ultracode.ai/), we regularly exercise our brains with IQ tests and Wordle.
|
||||
- Unlike **ACM TeachLA**, we actually educate our *own* students at our [weekly meetings](https://linux.ucla.edu/events/).
|
||||
- Unlike **ACM Studio**, we support video games that people will actually play by running a [SuperTuxKart](https://supertuxkart.net/Main_Page) server, and educating users about [Proton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(software)).
|
||||
- Unlike anyone in ACM, we are actually skilled with hardware, owing to our high representation of CEs, CSEs, and EEs.
|
||||
- We had at least one girl at every [installfest](https://linux.ucla.edu/tags/installfests/) this year, and we closed the rest of the gap by becoming femboys – **ACM W** (more like **ACM WOKE**) utterly destroyed.
|
||||
- We never leave the terminal – **ACM Design** utterly destroyed.
|
||||
- We generated [our website](https://git.linux.ucla.edu/lug/site) from Markdown files using Hugo – **ACM Hack** utterly destroyed.
|
||||
- Unlike ACM, we're not blacklisted from ordering from Enzo's Pizzeria, even after we ripped them off.
|
||||
- Unlike 90% of CS students, we actually daily drive Linux, not just SSH into it.
|
||||
- Unlike 90% of CS students, we actually give back to open source instead of leeching off of it.
|
||||
- We're laid back, we're not corporatized and we're owned by no one.

**IMPORTANT: PLEASE CHOOSE A STRONG PASSWORD FOR YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT**
|
||||
|
||||
## NEW: Multi-Factor Authentication
|
||||
[](https://linux.ucla.edu/mediawiki/index.php/File:Image.png)
|
||||
|
||||
The University is mandating that multi-factor authentication (MFA) be enabled for all email accounts by May 1, 2025. Specifically, we are using [Cisco Duo](https://duo.com/docs/duounix) as our MFA service, to be consistent with MyUCLA, UCLA Google Apps, and the UCLA Campus VPN. Even if you have UCLA Duo set up already, this uses a slightly different instance belonging to UCLA Computer Science specifically.
|
||||
Some hacking attempts on our email server
|
||||
|
||||
We have activated MFA starting on April 25. You must follow the below instructions to access your inbox.
|
||||
|
||||
### Enrollment Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the Duo app on your mobile device ([iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/duo-mobile/id422663827), [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duosecurity.duomobile&hl=en-US&pli=1)). You can also use a compatible [security key](https://guide.duo.com/security-keys).
|
||||
2. SSH into your virtual machine.
|
||||
3. Run `ssh [your username]@10.0.0.10` in the shell—this connects to the mail server.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< figure src="/duo/Screenshot from 2025-04-25 16-46-23.png" >}}
|
||||
|
||||
4. You will be prompted to enroll in Duo MFA. Paste any one of the links into your browser and follow the on-screen instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< figure src="/duo/Screenshot 2025-04-25 at 16-43-30 Duo Security - Device Management.png" >}}
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend against using text messages as your authentication method, because they leave you vulnerable to [SIM swap attacks](https://www.cnet.com/news/privacy/do-you-use-sms-for-two-factor-authentication-heres-why-you-shouldnt/).
|
||||

{{< figure src="/duo/Screenshot 2025-04-25 at 16-45-42 Duo Security - Device Management.png" >}}
|
||||
|
||||
5. You can Ctrl+C out of the SSH password prompt once you've enrolled.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Try rerunning the last SSH command. You should now get a Duo push on your phone, which logs you in once accepted.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
{{< figure src="/duo/Screenshot from 2025-04-25 16-59-20.png" >}}
|
||||
|
||||
Now would be a good time to change your password if you haven't done so already! Just run the `passwd` command on the "paris" server.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Now, you can log into your email inbox as you did before, with the added step of accepting the Duo push on your phone.
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE:** your IMAP session is supposed to be cached for an hour to avoid spamming repeat Duo requests. Please contact us right away if this doesn't work as intended—hitting "deny" on the Duo pushes repeatedly will only lock you out of your account, requiring manual intervention from the CS Department! You can reach us on [Discord](/discord), [XMPP](https://xmpp.link/#main@room.linux.ucla.edu%3Fjoin), or use an alternative account to email [board@linux.ucla.edu](mailto:board@linux.ucla.edu).

**WE GET SEVERAL BRUTE FORCE ATTEMPTS EVERY DAY. IF THE HACKERS GET IN TO YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT THEY WILL SEND SPAM AND THE CS DEPARTMENT WILL GET MAD AT US.** **Please use a secure password, otherwise we might have to restrict access to only people on the UCLA VPN.**

||||
## Logging in

I am using the following settings with Thunderbird to get in. I haven't tried it with another email client but you are welcome to.

## Changing your password
|
||||
|
||||
To change the password, SSH into your virtual machine and run the shell command `ssh [your username]@10.0.0.10`. Accept the Duo MFA push, or follow the MFA enrollment instructions if it's your first time. Then use the `passwd` command to change your password.
|
||||
To change the password, please ssh into your web server and ssh to [your username]@10.0.0.10. Then use passwd to change your password.
