This article is applicable for Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 and Debian 10/11.

In this article, we will show you how to join servers or workstations running CentOS 8, RHEL, or Rocky Linux to an Active Directory domain using realmd, and how to authenticate to a Linux host using an Active Directory account. The Realmd (Realm Discovery) service makes discovering and adding Linux hosts to an AD domain much easier. Realmd uses SSSD (via Kerberos and LDAP) or Winbind to verify and authenticate Active Directory accounts.

In this article, we’re going to look at the Ubuntu login issue related to GUI and desktop loading problems, which results in an endless password loop. After entering the correct password, instead of loading the graphical environment, a black screen appears, and then the password prompt appears again (and so on in a loop). As a result, the user cannot log into the Ubuntu GUI. This problem is called Login Loop.

In this article, we’ll look at how to extend a disk partition in Linux online without shutting down the system or unmounting the partition. You can use the fdisk tool to delete a partition and create a new larger partition in its place on the fly without losing data. In my case, a Linux VM running on VMware ESXi ran out of space on the ext4 data partition.

The MySQLB package is not included in the Debian 11 Bullseye repositories. The developers suggest using MariaDB instead. For some projects you need to use the original MySQL, not its fork. In that case you can manually add the MySQL repository and install the package in Debian. In my case, after upgrading the release from Debian 10 (Buster) to Debian 11 (Bullseye), I needed to install the original MySQL 8.0 on my Linux host.
