To block an IP range
```
iptables -A INPUT -s IP_IN_CIDR_FORMAT -j DROP
```
Example, bock IP range 159.138.0.0/16
```
iptables -A INPUT -s 159.138.0.0/16 -j DROP
```
Unblock an IP address

To unblock an IP address, first find the rule number, you can do it with the command
```
iptables --list  INPUT -n --line-number | grep IP_ADDR_HERE
```
Once you find the number of rule to be removed, you can run

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G on Ubuntu 18.04

New PC i have purchased have AMD Ryzen 3 2200G CPU. This come with Vega 8 iGPU.

If you boot Ubuntu 18.04 on this PC, it fail to boot with some graphics errors. To boot, you need to select advanced option, then recovery, once you get in the menu with differnt options, select continue. This will boot PC with out hardware acceleration.

You can also set “nomodeset” in /etc/default/grub

Find

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""

Replace with

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"

Now run

update-grub

But doing this disable hardware acceleration. Proper way is to install AMD drivers. You can use open source or AMD propritery, i dedided to go with AMD propritery drivers.

Install Latest Kernel

Support for Vega 8 iGPU only available in latest kernel. So you need to install latest kernel from ubuntu mainline.

Go to

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D

Find the latest kernel, it will be listed on top of the page. At the time of writing this post, it is “v4.19-rc5”

Click on this folder. You need to download 3 files with name generic for amd64 and install it.

wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.19-rc5/linux-headers-4.19.0-041900rc5-generic_4.19.0-041900rc5.201809231830_amd64.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.19-rc5/linux-image-unsigned-4.19.0-041900rc5-generic_4.19.0-041900rc5.201809231830_amd64.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.19-rc5/linux-modules-4.19.0-041900rc5-generic_4.19.0-041900rc5.201809231830_amd64.deb

Install it with

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Install AMDGPU PRO driver

I don’t really know how to find latest driver from AMD site. It only lists Windows deivers. I had to use google to find link to latest AMD driver.

With some googling, i found a driver released on August 17th , 2018

https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-prorad-lin-18-30

On this page, you have download links for differnt linux distributions, for Ubuntu, i run

wget https://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ubuntu/18.04/amdgpu-pro-18.30-641594.tar.xz
tar xvf amdgpu-pro-18.30-641594.tar.xz
cd amdgpu-pro-18.30-641594
./amdgpu-pro-install

amdgpu-pro-install is actually a symlink to amdgpu-install, but you should run “amdgpu-pro-install” to install the driver as it will run amdgpu-install with –pro switch.

Now reboot your PC, your iGPU will work.

Before installing new kernel, glxinfo reported following

boby@ok-pc-01:~$ glxinfo | grep -i opengl

After install new kernel and AMDGPU Pro driver, i have

boby@ok-pc-01:~$ glxinfo | grep -i opengl

OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.10

boby@ok-pc-01:~$

If you don’t install newer kernel, amdgpu-pro-install install will FAIL, i get some segmentation fault.
