When I use the -p switch for the package p7zip-full (program 7z), it only password protects the extraction process but it still shows the list of files when you try to view the contents of the archive whereas the graphical compression utility has a feature to not show the list as well. I read the man page and can't find the feature for the CLI equivalent. how to do this using the CLI?
I'd like to ask about archive mounter feature, can I mount zip file with read write mode? can gvfsd-archive do that?, or I must use fuse-zip to mount it? If I must use fuse-zip, how I wrap it so I can use it via nautilus or via gvfs-fuse-daemon
I have a post in beginners section but maybe I can find some help here.. If you do not mind,please read the following post about my problem.viewtopic.php?f=30&t=55243&p=320093#p319848
I'm running debian live off the cd to see if it fits my requirements. One of my pet peeves about ubuntu is the use of ctrl ctrl is hosed. the os does not seem to use it for anything, but no application can use it. This is the default for google desktop search, which is highly convenient. Seriously considering the move.I ran debian live and went to install the app. Message comes up archive type not recognised.
Are there any volatile archive for squeeze? I have been running this before on lenny, so I was sure I was getting the latest antivirus updates for ClamAV?
I'm running debian 5.3(i think) I've tried installing skype, google chrome and flash player. All of them are .deb files and on everyone it says "archive type not supported", what should I do to install them?
I have slow internet connection so i keep each .deb package i download in my local archive for next installations, now there is a collection of some older and new versions of the same packages in my local archive, is there any way to delete the older versions and keep the latest one in my local archive.
Last week I installed the Debian 6.0.4 XFCE on to a system from an iso I burned to DVD. I had no problems.
Today I downloaded the 6.0.5 netinst iso and burned a CD to install on a system which has only a CD reader, not DVD. The install goes fine until I select a download mirror. No matter what mirror I select, I get "Bad Archive Mirror".
When I check the log in virtual console 4, the following message appears: "WARNING**: mirror does not support the specified release (squeeze)"...
I'm using Debian 8 Xfce and now using Engrampa as default archive manager. But I can't do "Extract here" right click in Thunar, returning error "No suitable archive manager found". How to get Thunar know Engrampa as its archive manager?
how one can find the number of packages in the main archive for amd64 distribution on say sid/unstable ? Also if its possible to know the number of packages in amd64 distribution at a specific point in time (whenever I update my index) .
If I understand everything right I can use simple cd to create an install of my system then config everything and create an archive of /etc,/var,/usr and that give me a backup of my changed files. but what I am not able to do is create a script to replace the files with the archived version of the config files automatically. I need it to be ran as a post intall script or to configure the conf files as part of the install. what I configure on every reinstall. apache,proftpd,mysql,php,and wordpress. Since I am still learning I reinstall a lot and standard backups have not been working for me. But I can put the whole install including backup on one cd. Is there a way replace only the change files from the archive. or getting a list of just the modafied files on my system.
I am new to the world of linux and when attempting to verify a tar archive I am displayed the following error. When running the command tar cvfW archivename.tar filename directoryname does not yield any errors.
I'm using Debian 503 Lenny, Gnome. My machine, She-Beast, is a 2001 Compaq Presorry-o, 1100GHz Celery. With every, that is, E V E R Y, attempt to install any .deb, it fails. When I 2x click on the .deb icon, or when I r-click -->Open with archive manager, I get a dialog window: "Could not open "(filename).deb". Archive type not supported." If I use root terminal, dpkg -i, similar responses come up.
I'm trying to install Adobe Reader 8 and the command #dpkg -1 AdobeReader_enu-8.1.3-1.i386.deb comes up with the message error processing AdobeReader Cannot access archive. No such file or directory. Error was encountered while processing.
I'm new to Ubuntu, and everytime i've tried to download a program like iTunes, the "Archive Manager" comes up and says "An Error Has Occured While Loading the Archive". how to fix this or download programs ?
From previous post I have a netbook from work that I have Debian Squeeze running on and did a full disk encryption (minus the minimal boot loader in /boot) in case it gets stolen. However, with a laptop/netbook it has a battery and I believe the encryption protocol (LUKS - correct me if I'm wrong) uses RAM to store the decrypt key. So if someone is quick they can dump RAM and analyze it until they get the key. Or even if the key is not stored there they could dump RAM which would have recent files cached unecrypted.
Is there an easy process of encrypting RAM while still using as RAM? What I mean by that is I know you could make a ramdisk sort of like how Live CDs do and encrypt that, but at best (that I know of) I can only mount it as swap space.
I have a problem with the evolution mail client. I have created a privat PGP key. Now I'd like to attach my puplic key to a E-Mail in order xchange the puplic keys with friends.I'm not able to find a option like "attach my privat key".I also wasn't able to find a solution by searching the web
I have an Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS server that I set up a while back and I am considering encrypting the whole box. I store everything on the server and if it were stolen from a home robbery it could be quite devastating. The server is using two 750 GB SATA hard drives formatted with LVM. Inside the LVM I have a small partition on the first drive for the OS, SWAP, and everything else on the first and second drive is /var/media which is where I store all the data. I have set up an encrypted LVM on my laptop but that was during the install using the automatic method.
I can't figure out how to do what I want to do and I don't want to risk destroying the data on the server. What I would like is to non-destructively encrypt the server (System, SWAP, and DATA partitions) similar to how TrueCrypt works on Windows and I'd like the encryption key to be stored on a USB thumb drive so when the server boots it requires a hardware key. (And have the encryption key backed up online in case the flash drive dies.) And I'd like to use AES 256.
I'm looking to create an encrypted container file on a samba share, and then mount this locally. I have the following snippet working but only for fat32, and I cannot work out how to get ext3/4 going -
If I format the container as ext3 I can mount it, but never as read write.
We use a squid proxy server for all http traffic. Is there any way to configure squid so that all traffic which squid and workstation communicates is SSL and encrypted ?
Currently I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and when I installed it I got a question if I want to encrypt disk contents. I answered no. Now I think it is good idea to have such possibility. So is it possible to have the same encryption on running system ?
When sending an LQ post, my browser says "You're about to send information that's not encrypted". OK. I tell him not to show the warning again. But what if I want to encrypt? How do I do it?
i have recently installed thunderbird on my fedora 11 box and so far so good. i am interested in encrypting my emails and digitally signing them as well. does anyone have documentation as to how i can do this? i messed around with it last night but i was not able to import a valid certificate.
I'm installing fedora 12 on a laptop using the live cd, and I have a few questions about the encryption process.
First, I'd like to fill the drive with random data. I've read the fedora documentation and it suggests using the following command: dd if=/dev/urandom of=<device>. The installer didn't offer an opportunity to do this, so I opened a terminal and typed the command. I expected it to take hours on my 160 gig hard drive, but it only took about 3 minutes, and indicated about 600 megs of data had been written. Did I do it correctly? According to palimpsest, my boot partition is sda1 and the other partition is sda2, so that's the one ran the command with.
Second, I need some advice on what to encrypt. The installer shows me the following layout after I select encryption:
LVM Volume Groups
Hard Drives
I know I can't encrypt boot, but I can encrypt lv_root and lv_swap. But is it necessary to do that? And tell me the pros and cons of using a boot loader password?
I've changed my distro from Kubuntu to Opensuse with Kde and I really like the new one.
Kde look better on opensuse as well as firefox seems to run faster. But I miss a feature I had on Kubuntu that is the encryption of my home folder (And it is essential as I want to install Opensuse on my notebook).
I would like to know if it is possible and, if it is, how to encrypt my system in order to keep all my personal data and stored passwords safe in case of someone have access to my notebook.
I liked opensuse a lot but this is the only thing that is keeping me from a complete distro change.
How would I go about encrypting my lvm2 logical volumes on Debian Squeeze? Is it possible without backing everything up to a different drive and restoring afterwards?
Is it possible to encrypt the Entire root file system using LUKS.I am currently using Ubuntu 10.4 LUCID.After several hours of Google ,most of the articles were focusing to "Encrypting a drive/removable media ".. My aim is to encrypt whole File system which is currently using.
My Concerns, How to Encrypt a running file system? Will it lead to data loss?
I encrypted my hard drive on my media PC but it's really annoying having to type in a password every time I turn it on. I chose a short password so it was quick and easy to type in but is it worth encrypting data with a weak password?If the computer is suspended, someone could come along and resume the computer. They would be presented with a locked GNOME session) but the data would be unencrypted; does this go against encrypting the hard drive? Or does the locked GNOME session provide enough security to keep an intruder out?
