YubiKey - unblock PIN after locking it with 3 wrong PIN attempts

Unlock YubiKey ⚠️

After entering the wrong password 3 times your YubiKey is locked in order to avoid brute-forcing the password. Luckily, there's a way of unlocking yourself.

⚠️ you will lose all data on it

Analog surround sound setup on Linux with a Realtek ALC898 sound card on the Clevo P751DM2-G

Setting up analog surround sound on Ubuntu Linux with a 3 3.5mm capable sound card:

A while back, I received the Logitech Z506 Speaker system, and with Windows, setting it up was a pretty plug and play experience. On Linux, however, its' a wholly different ballgame. For one, there's no Realtek HD Audio control panel here, so what gives? How do you around this problem?

Introducing the tools of the trade:

You'll want to use a tool such as hdajackretask , pavucontrol and pavumeter for the pin re-assignments and audio output monitoring afterwards respectively. The tools are installed by running:

sudo apt-get install alsa-tools-gui pavumeter pavucontrol

NetworkManager Wi-Fi powersaving configuration

NetworkManager WiFi Power Saving

NetworkManager supports WiFi powersaving but the function is rather undocumented.

From the source code: wifi.powersave can have the following value:

  • NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DEFAULT (0): use the default value
  • NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_IGNORE (1): don't touch existing setting
  • NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DISABLE (2): disable powersave
