way to remove open-whois.org as an rbl from /usr/share/spamassassin/50_scores.cf/usr/share/spamassassin/72_active.cfIt's creating a lot of false positives on a mail server i am using with ubuntu. i noticed only ubuntu lucid is using updated spamassassin 3.3.1 and all others are using 3.2.5i was on spamassassin's website and noticed this issue has been resolved on spamassassin 3.3.1 but not 3.2.5i tried looking in those files but they are too complicated for me to understand.i am assuming they manually have to be removed.can anyone help with the open-whois.org rbl removal from mail servers as it is currently squatted and creating false positives?

Shortly after I dismissed it and ran: Code: sudo apt-get clean like the notification suggested. Then, another poped up. Now it said I have 0 bytes left.
So, I opened the disk usage analizer and the data seemed normal, and not my full drive size. It still was saying I have no space so I checked the properties widow for / . It said / contained 128TB of data and the file counter showed no signs of stopping after a few minutes. Obviously my drive is not 128TB in fact it's only 500GB. Also the disk manager program (system volume information?) Said it has 28 bad sectors.
Win XP is running ESET Nod32 AV and Comodo firewall, I'm having a big problem with Nod and Ubuntu, for some reason Nod is picking up the MBR on 0 physical disk (sda) as a virus "Probably unknown TSR.Boot Virus", and says is unable to clean. Since I've just that second installed XP I'm pretty sure it's not a virus or trojan, but is picking up GRUB as a false positive.

I was thinking I'd pull the drive from the server and build a separate machine that has it's own os installed and the source and destination drive. Does anyone know of any linux tools will will do a full drive copy? Additionally, If possible, I'd like to move to a larger drive. how I'd migrate the 120 drive to a 400 or so? 1 idea I have is to install os on 2 new drives to where it they will boot, Then boot with one and copy source to the newly created destination drive.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a new (few months) HP Compaq laptop where I run Fedora 13. A couple weeks ago, it started complaining about too many bad sectors in the HD. What I have done is to remove palimpsest from load-on-start list, so I don't get the annoying message. I know the palimpsest Disk Utility has given problems like this (false positives) in Ubuntu, and F11. So my concerns are:
Is it normal in F13 to get those palimpsest warnings? Or should I consider the idea that my new HD is really failing? If this is a bug in palimpsest, is it going to be fixed soon?
I ve upgraded my system from F11 to F12 recently . Everything went good till now. Yesterday i ve tried to check if there was any update via software update and a very very bad thing happened without me knowing it updated to all dev-test packages of F13.
Is there any way of uninstalling-removing everything thats connected with F13 from my system cause now all is going very slow and laggy probably bugfull. Also my software sources tab has vanished from menu...i ve tried to edit the menu to see if i can add it back but no luck its not there also....i can enter it only via terminal.
I was doing some testing which is required for some of my products
Here is the strange behaviour i observed
First i did set the timezone to PST 2010 (which is less than GMT basically negative timezone)
zdump -v /etc/localtime |grep 2010
/etc/localtime Sun Mar 14 09:59:59 2010 UTC = Sun Mar 14 01:59:59 2010 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
/etc/localtime Sun Mar 14 10:00:00 2010 UTC = Sun Mar 14 03:00:00 2010 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
[Code]....
Note:in the above case when i did set time to 2:59:55 and said ok by then CEST became CET already. That could be the reason why DST is not happening.
I tried with few other positive and negative timezone configuration all the negative time zones resets back properly where as all the positive timezones doesn't
All my timezone files are up to date,i am using fedora 9

I am a backup noob. My idea of backing something up is finding a big enough flash drive and copying the necessary files over.
So I really need to learn now. I'm wiping a Vista laptop for a friend to install Windows 7. But first, I want to do a whole-drive backup in case something goes wrong. It's a 100GB drive with 50GB of data.
Is it possible that I could do this via my home network or via a direct ethernet connection? I have a desktop with a 1TB drive I could back up to. Like I say, I'm a noob so I'm open to anything.
One more thing: I'd like this backup to be in a form that I can retrieve individual files from it if necessary. If everything goes right, I'll probably want to pull My Documents out of the backup and drop it into Windows 7.
Oh, and why am I asking on UbuntuForums instead of a Windows forum? Because I'm betting I'll end up booting a live CD on the laptop to do the backup. But I'm just guessing. At any rate, I'm sure I'll use Ubuntu tools, because that's what I know.
I'm trying to perform a FULL install of 11.04 onto a 4GB USB drive, but the Ubuntu installer insists I must have at least 4.4GB free space.I am able to run the ISO LIVE from a 1GB usb drive created with LiLi USB Creator , but the Ubuntu installer demands at least 4.4 GB to install I can give Ubuntu the entire 4GB drive, but how do I get past the Installer's 4.4 GB requirement?I don't need the larger apps like Gimp/Office/Games to free up space. When I completely remove these apps from the persistent live install via Synaptic, I run out of space - Possibly due to cache issues. I'm very new and don't know how to proceed.I am able to FULL-install and boot Fedora successfully as its installer does not have the 4 GB limitation.Is is possible to install Ubuntu 11.04 onto the 4GB drive?

What I'm "Not" Asking... I'm not asking about installing the CD image to a USB hard drive to boot a live install version. I've done that to see is my computer will boot from the USB and it does.
What I want to do is this:
An actual hard disk install of full featured Linux to a portable USB Hard Drive. I want to be able to plug in the USB HHD and go Linux. (Why you might ask? Fair enough. The laptop is my wife's computer and she says absolutely no to Linux.
The issue I am having is that Virtual Box does not recognize my USB drives. I understand that it is related to the fact that Ubuntu cannot recognize the permissions on the USB NTFS drive. So how do I mount the ntfs drive and gain full permissions?
One post suggested that I have to join my user to the 'vbuser' group in users and groups to fix this in 9.04, but I do not have a "vbuser" group in my list of groups. I am running 10.04.
Is it possible to encrypt the entire drive and not be prompted for the passphrase?
I have a request for a demo of our application and I am looking to create a virtual for VMware's player but need to make sure that the vmdk file cannot be mounted and files pulled from it to protect us from reverse engineering of the application.
So I'm planning to do a full install on a flash drive. I searched the forums for previous threads and there were loads. Was there a BIG one that I missed in the mess? If so, please direct me to it.
There was two contentious issues in all the threads and I'd like em resolved once and for all
1.Should I or should I not make a swap partition on the flash drive? What about /var, /tmp and /log?
2.Also can someone rank the following in terms of access speed and snappiness:
1) Live CD
2) Live USB with or without persistence (average Sandisk stick)
3) External 2.5" HDD (5400-7200 RPM connected via USB 2.0)
4) Internal 5400-7200RPM HDD using SATAII
5) Full install on USB flash stick (average Sandisk stick)
create a partition seperate from my home directory out of it. i have a 500 gig hard drive and i wish to create a 70 gig partition on it on install i used entire disk is there any way to make a partition after this for i do not want to reinstall.

I didn't realize my system drive had filled up... and TaskWarrior overwrote my 'pending.data' with a 0-byte copy. d-: I had worked SO hard to get all my tasks imported from various other notes (many of which I deleted along the way), and hadn't yet prepared for the possibility of data loss. Should've set it up to use my Dropbox...why doesn't TaskWarrior make ANY backup buy default? That data is so important, and yet so small and trivial to backup. Anyway, my 'undo.data' is totally intact and seems to contain all the information theoretically needed to reconstruct 'pending.data'. Unfortunately right now I have no sample 'pending.data' to look at. d-: OR: does anybody know of a simple Linux utility I can use to recover previous file versions? It's possible no data was overwritten, since the replacement is empty.
View 1 Replies View Relatedif there was a way, to add a folder to a hard disk which was full of symlinks to a CD drive. This would primarily be a way to store offline media and a way to access it. I would still be able to browse the folder structure and see the files (but possibly not the sizes). I imagine something like this:
/archive/cd/cd1/photos/me.jpg > /mnt/cdrom/cd1/photos/me.jpg
Therefore I can see what files I have available, and I know which media to insert (in this case cd1) and I would then be able to view the files? Or if anyone has a better idea I'm open to it. Just to mention I don't have a GUI on this server, it is completely headless so any solution needs to be console based

How to identify what to delete to clear up space?
My friend and I were discussing partitioning and we disagreed on repartitioning when the drive was full. How full is too full before partitioning will mess up your file system? I've partitioned before but it was only after the OS was installed, so only about %5 of the drive is being used. I read that 90% or more is too much. My friend claims it doesn't matter, and you can repartition even if the drive is 95%+ full.

Attack was unsuccessful. Possible reasons:
* Perhaps MAC address filtering is enabled.
* Check that the BSSID (-a option) is correct.
* Try to change the number of packets (-o option).
* The driver/card doesn't support injection.
* This attack sometimes fails against some APs.
* The card is not on the same channel as the AP.
* You're too far from the AP. Get closer, or lower the transmit rate.

I'm using an eeepc 701 it has an Atheros card and does injection. I have also tried it with backrack 4 and it works perfectly (it falsely authenticates with the ap and decrypts the wep key) I just cant seem to get it to work on ubuntu 10.4. Could it be a kernel issue? I found out that there is a bug in the new(er) kernel(s). If you use an older kernel (I used 2.6.31-14 which can be found here) and it magically works.
I have a pc with windows on it, about 90% of the hard drive is full. I want to install dual
boot ubuntu with ubuntu using about 70% of the hard drive, do I need to manually create space, or can I just set during the install will ubuntu just over-write that much. I don't care about the files I have under windows.
I experienced a full hard drive yesterday due to a massive error_log. We took care of the errors, but later found out we were missing files, including a MySQL database table. Having a shopping cart and ecommerce stuff on the site, we found that some of those files were missing, too.Does RHEL 5 have some sort of feature for automatically deleting files when the partition is full? If it does, I want to turn it off.
