Authenticating Ubuntu Client to Windows Active Directory

I got the chance to configure one of the old system of my friend running Windows 2000 and Ubuntu 7, (yes it’s not typo) and he wants to authenticate some of his old Ubuntu PCs to Windows AD. Here’s the tutorial for adding Ubuntu box in a Active Directory domain and to authenticate the users with AD

Needed software:
Windows 2000 Advanced Server (function as Domain Controller, AD)
Linux (Ubuntu 6,7)
Winbind
Samba
krb-user
libpam-krb5

Used terms:
AD.websitehostingreview.org –> AD Domain
10.201.0.251 –> DC IP address
AD.websitehostingreview.org –> Kerberos Realm
10.201.0.193 –> NTP server

Step1: Confirm Connectivity
Confirm network connectivity and name resolution for the Active Directory domain controller. Ping the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of the AD DC on your network

root@ubuntuclient#ping AD.websitehostingreview.org

If not successful, it could be a DNS issue, you can change the right DNS or add the info using /etc/hosts

Step2: Set the time settings
Time is important for Kerberos, which is used for authentication in Active Directory networks.
/usr/sbin/ntpdate 10.201.0.193

Step3:Setup Kerberos

Install the appropriate client software. This process assumes that you have opened up all the Breezy main and security sources in your sources.list as well as the Universe repository /etc/apt/sources.list
Install the necessary Kerberos packages, you should use the following apt-get command to install the software:
$sudo apt-get install krb5-user libpam-krb5
Modify the /etc/krb5.conf

[logging]default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log
kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log

[libdefaults]default_realm = AD.websitehostingreview.org
default_etypes = des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5
default_etypes_des = des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5
default_tgs_enctypes = des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5
default_tkt_enctypes = des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5
dns_lookup_realm = false
dns_lookup_kdc = true
ticket_lifetime = 24h

[realms]AD.websitehostingreview.org = {
kdc = AD.websitehostingreview.org:88
admin_server = AD.websitehostingreview.org:749
default_domain = websitehostingreview.org
}

[domain_realm].websitehostingreview.org = websitehostingreview.org
websitehostingreview.org = websitehostingreview.org

[kdc]profile = /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf

[appdefaults]pam = {
debug = false
ticket_lifetime = 36000
renew_lifetime = 36000
forwardable = true
krb4_convert = false
}

Step4: Testing

Request a Ticket-Granting Ticket (TGT) by issuing the kinit command and Check if ticket request was valid using the klist command.

Sample output:

root@ubuntu:~# kinit Administrator@AD.websitehostingreview.org
Password for Administrator@AD.websitehostingreview.org:
root@ubuntu:~# klist
Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0
Default principal: Administrator@AD.websitehostingreview.org

Valid starting Expires Service principal
06/21/19 14:52:09 06/22/19 00:56:06 krbtgt/AD.websitehostingreview.org@AD.websitehostingreview.org
renew until 06/22/19 14:52:09

Kerberos 4 ticket cache: /tmp/tkt0
klist: You have no tickets cached

At this point, your Kerberos installation and configuration is operating correctly

Step5: Join AD domain
Install winbind and samba
apt-get install winbind samba

Modify the /etc/samba/smb.conf

[global] workgroup = AD
hosts allow = 10.201.0. 10.200.0. 127.
password server = AD.websitehostingreview.org
idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
template shell = /bin/bash
winbind use default domain = yes
winbind separator = /
winbind uid = 10000-20000
winbind gid = 10000-20000
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
template homedir = /home/%D/%U

realm = AD.websitehostingreview.org

Be sure to restart the Samba and Winbind services after changing the /etc/samba/smb.conf file:
root@ubuntu:~# /etc/init.d/winbind stop
root@ubuntu:~# /etc/init.d/samba restart
root@ubuntu:~# /etc/init.d/winbind start

Join the domain:
net ads join –U Administrator@AD.websitehostingreview.org
password:XXXXXXXXXXXX
Using short domain name – AD
Joined ‘ubuntu’ to realm ‘AD.websitehostingreview.org’

Step6: Testing the AD join
wbinfo -u

You should get a list of the users of the domain.
And a list of the groups.
wbinfo -g

Step7: Setup the Authentication

Modify /etc/nsswitch.conf

passwd: files winbind
group: files winbind
shadow: files compat winbind
hosts: files dns wins winbind
networks: files
protocols: db files winbind
services: db files winbind
ethers: db files
rpc: db files
netgroup: nis files winbind

Step8: Testing winbind nsswitch

Check Winbind nsswitch module with getent.
getent passwd
getent group

Step9: Modify PAM
Go to /etc/pam.d

/etc/pam.d/common-account

account sufficient pam_winbind.so
account sufficient pam_krb5.so minimum_uid=1000
account required pam_unix.so nullok_secure
account [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore service_err=ignore system_er
r=ignore] pam_krb5.so

/etc/pam.d/common-auth

auth sufficient pam_winbind.so
auth sufficient pam_krb5.so minimum_uid=1000 use_first_pass
auth required pam_unix.so
auth sufficient pam_group.so use_first_pass

/etc/pam.d/common-session

session required pam_unix.so
session optional pam_foreground.so
session optional pam_krb5.so
session required pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0022 skel=/etc/skel

/etc/pam.d/sudo

#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient pam_winbind.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so use_first_pass
auth required pam_deny.so
@include common-account

/etc/pam.d/samba

@include common-auth
@include common-account
@include common-session
@include common-password

/etc/pam.d/common-password

password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 md5
password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=50 md5

Step10: Create the domain directory in /home
#mkdir /home/AD

Easy steps for the configuration files

All config files can be get via wget on http://10.201.0.193/script
Nsswitch.conf, krb5.conf , smb.conf located on script folder
Pam.d config files located on script/pam
e.g
#cd /etc/
#wget http://10.201.0.193/script/krb5.conf

#cd /etc/samba
#wget http://10.201.0.193/script/smb.conf

You can add boot up script on /etc/rc.local
vi /root/script.sh

/usr/sbin/ntpdate 10.201.0.193
/etc/init.d/winbind stop
/etc/init.d/samba restart
/etc/init.d/winbind start

Save and exit.

Make the script executable
#chmod +x /root/script

Under /etc/rc.local, append the script so it will run during start-up
/root/script.sh

Installation of KVM( Kernel-based Virtual Machine) Virtualization and Eve-NG in CentOS

Installation of KVM and Eve-NG

 Kernel-based Virtual Machine or KVM is an open source virtualization solution that can make your Linux Server as hypervisor. I will demonstrate also how to install Virtual Machine (VM), for this example I will install Eve-NG (Emulated Virtual Environment) which is used by Network Engineers or Security and DevOps professionals to emulate different network devices/platforms such as Cisco,Juniper, Arista, Linux and so much more, mainly for POC, testing and learning.

Tested in CentOS 7
See first if your server supports Virtualization

# lscpu | grep Virt
Virtualization: VT-x

  1. Install KVM
    yum install qemu-kvm virt-install libvirt libvirt-python libguestfs-tools

Start the libvirtd service
systemctl enable libvirtd
systemctl start libvirtd

Check if it is running:

# systemctl status libvirtd
● libvirtd.service – Virtualization daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/libvirtd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Fri 2019-08-02 22:05:35 +08; 23h ago
Docs: man:libvirtd(8)
https://libvirt.org
Main PID: 14880 (libvirtd)
Tasks: 20 (limit: 32768)
CGroup: /system.slice/libvirtd.service
├─14880 /usr/sbin/libvirtd
├─14979 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq –conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf –leasefile-ro –dhcp-script=/usr/libexec/libvirt_leaseshelper
└─14980 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq –conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf –leasefile-ro –dhcp-script=/usr/libexec/libvirt_leaseshelper

Verify if kvm is installed

# lsmod | grep -i kvm
kvm_intel 183737 10
kvm 615914 1 kvm_intel
irqbypass 13503 4 kvm

2.Configure bridge network
e.g. primary interface = enp3s0f0
a. add line BRIDGE=br0 under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/enp3s0f0 , save and exit
b. configure bridge interface,e.g. br0
if dhcp:
Add the follwowing in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0
DEVICE=”br0″
BOOTPROTO=”dhcp”
IPV6INIT=”yes”
IPV6_AUTOCONF=”yes”
ONBOOT=”yes”
TYPE=”Bridge”

if static:(IP: 192.168.0.200/24, GW: 192.168.0.1, DNS:192.168.0.10
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=none
DEFROUTE=yes
NAME=br0
DEVICE=br0
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.0.200
PREFIX=24
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
DNS1=192.168.0.10

Restart network service
service network restart

Verify:
brctl show

For OpenVswitch:
sample contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/enp3s0f0

IPV6_DEFROUTE=no
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
NAME=enp3s0f0
DEVICE=enp3s0f0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=”OVSPort”
DEVICETYPE=”ovs”
OVS_BRIDGE=”br0

sample contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=none
DEFROUTE=yes
NAME=br0
UUID=1e9b47ec-a06e-4e9e-a78d-ffae0571bed7
DEVICE=br0
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.0.200
PREFIX=24
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
DNS1=192.168.0.10

3. Install Eve-NG as Virtual Machine
Specifications:
OS:Ubuntu/EVE-NG

Installing Openstack RDO Packstack in CentOS

Authenticating Ubuntu Client to Windows Active Directory 1

Want to deploy Openstack and experience your own cloud platform the easier way? One way is to install Openstack via RDO Packstack*.
*Packstack is a utility that uses Puppet modules to deploy various parts of OpenStack . It is suitable for deploying both single node proof of concept  or more complex multi node installations.

Components used and tested in:
CentOS 7 Linux 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64
Openstack Packstack (latest stable release, Pike)

Advisable to stop firewalld, NetworkManager and enable network

#service firewalld stop
#chkconfig firewalld off
#service NetworkManager stop
#chkconfig NetworkManager off
#service network start
#chkconfig network on

Sample Output:

[root@freelinux vinyard]# service firewalld stop
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl stop firewalld.service
[root@freelinux vinyard]# chkconfig firewalld off
Note: Forwarding request to ‘systemctl disable firewalld.service’.
[root@freelinux vinyard]# service NetworkManager stop
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
[root@freelinux vinyard]# chkconfig NetworkManager off
Note: Forwarding request to ‘systemctl disable NetworkManager.service’.
[root@freelinux vinyard]# service network start
Starting network (via systemctl): [ OK ] [root@freelinux vinyard]# chkconfig network on

1. Enable repository in CentOS (latest stable release as of this writing is Pike)
# yum install -y centos-release-openstack-pike

Installing WordPress in Raspberry Pi with Nginx, MySQL and PHP

Authenticating Ubuntu Client to Windows Active Directory 3

It is meant to function as a staging or testing server where you can  do compatibility test  latest wordpress version on your existing sites, or try themes, plugins,widgets or practice your coding skills in css & php before deploying into your production, then using rpi is a good option.

Components used and tested working:

Raspberry Pi Model B , installed with Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 Jessie (Kernel armv6l Linux 4.9.35+)
nginx(1.6.2-5+deb8u5) (Web Server)
php5 (php5 5.6.33)
mysql 5.5 (ver.5.5.59-0+deb8u1) (Database Server)
wordpress

Before start the actual installation, update rpi packages

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

Sample output:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

1. Install Nginx 

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install nginx

Test if everything ok by running:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

Start nginx and check status if running:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo service nginx start
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo service nginx status

Authenticating Ubuntu Client to Windows Active Directory 4

Open your favorite web browser and test it by going to Pi’s localhost or actual IP, e.g. http://localhost , http://192.168.1.200 . If working, you will be able to see the default page which is the index.html under /var/www/html , and see message something like:

Authenticating Ubuntu Client to Windows Active Directory 5

If any changes done, reload the config
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl reload nginx

2. Install PHP

As WordPress is written in PHP, we need to install PHP as the scripting language . PHP is a server-side programming language that can serve dynamic pages and it is processed via its php module
a. Install using the following command:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install php5 php-fpm php5-mysql

b. Configure the nginx configuration file for php module to work. Modify the default file under /etc/nginx/sites-available directory, make sure to uncomment or add the following lines:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

server_name 192.168.1.200;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
include fastcgi.conf;
}
location ~ /.ht {
deny all;
}
}

Test by doing the following steps:

a.  Create index.php under the default root directory (/var/www/html) with the contents below:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo vi /var/www/html/index.php

 

b. Access http://localhost or http://192.168.1.200, if you see something like this as per below image, then php was sucessfully installed.

phpinfo Displays the PHP configurations

3. Install MySQL server

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install mysql-server

root password will be asked during installation , this will use to access the MySQL engine.

Login to mysql as root with the password provided during installation. Create a database name “wordpress” and wordpress user and grant all privileges for that database  e.g. (db name: wordpress username: wpadmin pass: freelinux)

Authenticating Ubuntu Client to Windows Active Directory 6

mysql> CREATE USER wpadmin@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘freelinux’;
mysql> CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO wpadmin@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘freelinux’;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

4. Install WordPress

Download, install, extract and change file ownership
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd /var/www/html
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo tar zxvf latest.tar.gz
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo rm latest.tar.gz
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/html/wordpress

Navigate using your browser http://192.168.1.200 and will be presented with WordPress welcome page
-Click “Let’s go” to proceed the setup
-Will be presented by the following, fill out accordingly (in case need to change, can modify the wp-config.php later on):
Database Name: wordpress
User Name: wpadmin
Password: freelinux
Database Host: localhost
Table Prefix: wp_

-Click Submit
-Click “Run the install”
-Next fill out necessary information such as Site Title, username, password and email address. Then click the “Install WordPress” button

Once done, login using the username and password provided earlier, URL is http://192.168.1.200/wp-admin

Enjoy customizing your wordpress by changing themes, installing plugins and widgets , or can edit the stylesheet css if necessary.
Now you’re ready to start adding your first ever post. Happy blogging!

Additional Tips or optional tasks:

1. If you have existing database and want to restore from backup database, here’s the command to restore

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ mysql -u wpadmin -p wordpress < freelinux-backup.sql

2. If migrating WordPress from Apache to Nginx, permalinks may not work even after re-saving changes (Settings > Permalinks > Save Changes). Try to change the “try_files from $uri $uri/ =404 to $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args

before:  try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
after:     try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

3. Can create virtualhost if have multiple instances of wordpress

Quick Tip: Get or Find your Public IP Address using curl

Authenticating Ubuntu Client to Windows Active Directory 9

Some sample websites that you can use with curl to display your external public IP. As you know, especially if you are connected to a router, it will provide you private IP via the DHCP and it is NAT’ed. So using ‘ifconfig’, ‘ip addr show’, ‘hostname -I’ or via the GUI won’t show the public IP.

curl icanhazip.com
curl ifconfig.me
curl ipecho.net/plain ; echo
curl ident.me ; echo
curl checkip.amazonaws.com
curl bot.whatismyipaddress.com ;echo
curl myexternalip.com/raw
curl whatismyip.akamai.com ; echo
curl myip.dnsomatic.com;echo
curl -s ipinfo.io | jq .ip #need to install jq

Or you want to challenge yourself, you can combine it with sed to do some filtering

curl -s checkip.dyndns.org | sed -e ‘s/.*Current IP Address: //’ -e ‘s/<.*$//’

Configuring Multiple Interfaces and Multiple Default Routes in Linux

Authenticating Ubuntu Client to Windows Active Directory 10

Scenario: Multiple network interfaces in your server and each connected to different network and getting the IP via DHCP
Objective: Make all IP pingable and accessible remotely e.g. SSH
Solution: Configure Gateway Routing or setting up multiple default routes for each interfaces

Initially when you connect different links/network (regardless it’s in the same subnet or not) for each of the interfaces, it will end up only one interface is reachable. Why? Because by default, it can only have one default route or gateway on a system.

Example: 5 NIC in 1 Linux Server
Noted: Tested in Redhat based Linux (CentOS,Fedora). Assuming the IP dynamically assigned by the DHCP server:

eth1=ip:192.168.10.100/24 gw:192.168.10.1
eth2=ip:192.168.20.100/24 gw:192.168.20.1
eth3=ip:192.168.30.100/24 gw:192.168.30.1
eth4=ip:192.168.40.100/24 gw:192.168.40.1
eth5=ip:192.168.50.100/24 gw:192.168.50.1

1. Set eth1 as the default route and disable it from other interfaces
a. add the line “DEFROUTE=yes” (without the quote) to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
b. add the line “DEFROUTE=no” (without the quote) to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2  .. to ifcfg-eth5

2. Restart the network and the IP routing table should be something like this:

[tux@freelinux ~]$ netstat -nr
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.20.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
192.168.30.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth3
192.168.40.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth4
192.168.50.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth5
0.0.0.0 192.168.10.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

From the example above, the only pingable/reachable would be the eth1 IP only as it carries the default gateway.

3. Setup additional routing table
a. Edit the file  /etc/iproute2/rt_tables and set the eth1 with preference 1, and eth2 with 2, and so on and so forth. Any name to represent it can work, this is basically creating a policy in the routing table that can be called later.  Sample content of that file will be something like:
[tux@freelinux ~]$ cat /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
#
# reserved values
#
255 local
254 main
253 default
0 unspec
#
# local
#
#1 inr.ruhep
1 ilove
2 free
3 linux
4 tutorials

b. Configure the routing table. Firstly, configure the 192.168.20.0/24 to tell that it can be reached in “ilove” and to find its gateway. Secondly, set interface’s default gateway
ip route add 192.168.20.0/24 dev eth2 src 192.168.20.100 table ilove
ip route add default via 192.168.20.1 dev eth2 table ilove

c. Set the policy routes for the system to know when to use that new routing table
ip rule add from 192.168.20.100 /32 table ilove
ip rule add to 192.168.20.100/32 table ilove

Do the same thing for eth3-5. These will be the configuration for the rest:
for eth3:
ip route add 192.168.30.0/24 dev eth3 src 192.168.30.100 table free
ip route add default via 192.168.30.1 dev eth3 table free
ip rule add from 192.168.30.100 /32 table free
ip rule add to 192.168.30.100/32 table free

for eth4:
ip route add 192.168.40.0/24 dev eth4 src 192.168.40.100 table linux
ip route add default via 192.168.40.1 dev eth4 table linux
ip rule add from 192.168.40.100 /32 table linux
ip rule add to 192.168.40.100/32 table linux

for eth5:
ip route add 192.168.50.0/24 dev eth5 src 192.168.50.100 table tutorials
ip route add default via 192.168.50.1 dev eth5 table tutorials
ip rule add from 192.168.50.100 /32 table tutorials
ip rule add to 192.168.50.100/32 table tutorials

Check: Ping and ssh all the IP address see if it’s already reachable
Verification (sample output)

[tux@freelinux ~]$ ip rule show
0: from all lookup local
32732: from all to 192.168.50.100 lookup tutorials
32733: from 192.168.50.100 lookup tutorials
32734: from all to 192.168.40.100 lookup linux
32735: from 192.168.40.100 lookup linux
32736: from all to 192.168.30.100 lookup free
32737: from 192.168.30.100 lookup free
32738: from all to 192.168.20.100 lookup ilove
32739: from 192.168.20.100 lookup ilove
32740: from all lookup main
32741: from all lookup default

Simple explanation: Rule 32732 means that all traffic going to eth5 will use the “tutorials” routing table.  Rule 32733 means that traffic coming from eth5 will use the”tutorials” routing table. And so on, and so forth

[tux@freelinux ~]$ ip route show table all

192.168.20.0/24 dev eth2 table ilove scope link src 192.168.20.100
default via 192.168.20.1 dev eth2 table ilove
192.168.30.0/24 dev eth3 table free scope link src 192.168.30.100
default via 192.168.30.1 dev eth3 table free
192.168.40.0/24 dev eth4 table linux scope link src 192.168.40.100
default via 192.168.40.1 dev eth4 table linux
192.168.50.0/24 dev eth5 table tutorials scope link src 192.168.50.100
default via 192.168.50.1 dev eth5 table tutorials
192.168.10.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.10.100
default via 192.168.10.1 dev eth1

Enjoy! Cheers!

Quick Tip: Create GNS3 Launcher in Ubuntu Linux

Authenticating Ubuntu Client to Windows Active Directory 11

After installing GNS3 or Graphical Network Simulator 3 in Ubuntu Linux, you can run it via the command “gns3” but it does not come with a default launcher or shortcut. To have a nice shortcut to place under your launcher bar or dock, here are the steps:

1. Go to /usr/share/applications folder

tux@freelinux:~$ cd /usr/share/applications

2. Create a filename with extension “desktop” , e.g. gns3.desktop . Configure the following desktop entries as per below. The contents are quite self-explanatory. Save and exit

tux@freelinux:/usr/share/applications$ sudo vi gns3.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=GNS3
Comment=GNS3 Network Simulator
Exec=/usr/bin/gns3
Icon=/home/tux/GNS3/gns3-icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Categories=Application;

3. Search the launcher under Applications
Enjoy!

Quick Tip: Installation of Sublime Text in Ubuntu Linux

Authenticating Ubuntu Client to Windows Active Directory 13

Sublime Text is one of the best text or code editor that you can have in Linux as it supports different programming languages and markup languages. There’s a list of features that you can check from the Sublime Text official website, one of my favorites is the python-based plugin API and “Goto Anything” feature.
The only downfall I find is Sublime Text may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use.

Installing Sublime Text ver.3 in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS can be done in just 3 steps. As it is not available in Ubuntu Software Center, need to add first the repository before installing it.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text-installer

Type “subl” to launch Sublime Text

tux@freelinux:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3

Sublime Text 3 Installer: the package in this PPA downloads and installs the latest Sublime Text 3 beta builds.
