My /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail went from 2200 to <200 after ssh-keygen. The generated key pairs also doesn't work (ie I'm asked to provide a password). Anyone knows what is the minimum before and after entropy number I should see in order to have the keys generated properly?
View 8 RepliesOnce random data is obtained by means other than a pseudo-random number generator, what software is available to measure the entropy or quality/randomness of the data?

I'm setting up passwordless ssh logins on my LAN as I'm a bit tired of constantly being asked for a password.

I want to
mknod /dev/random 1 9
to replace the slow random, I think the current entropy is randomly enough, if urandom is based on the same entropy, and all succeed random numbers are generated based on that entropy, I don't think there'll be any vulnerable.

I came up on RedHat. While I thoroughly embrace Ubuntu now, I miss the concept of runlevels. I installed all my CentOS servers with Gnome as a convenience on tap when needed. I boot them to runlevel 3 and open a vnc shell if i need gui. Then kill the vnc thus killing the gui. Just a fantastic compromise for me.

It's a long long story how I got to this point but I'll save that for later. Ubuntu says subAir does not work due to lack of SSL support. That's only one reason why it doesn't work. I've gotten past that and a few more issues. Here is what I've done: Used stunnel to get around the SSL issue.stunnel -c -f -d 127.0.0.1:8080 -r streaming.one.ubuntu.com:443
subAir still will not work and return a 403 because it wants to do a GET /I got around that two ways. One was a reverse squid proxy and another was an Apache proxy. Ok, now we're cooking. Except now subAir is sending POST data to the subsonic server and ubuntu's version does not seem to like that. Try it yourself
curl -d "c=myapp" https://streaming.one.ubuntu.com/rest/getIndexes.view -v
curl https://streaming.one.ubuntu.com/res...s.view?c=myapp -v
sigh.... so here I am thinking about writing a POST to GET 'thing' or maybe we can get some more info on how ubuntu's subsonic api works.
I was minding my own business watching loombo and just like that the sound cut out. so I was like okay I will watch it on mega video and no such look no sound there too so I checked my ..... and that wont even load videos.so !I'm running the latest version of ubuntu on my dell insperon laptop if this helps

I've trolled the forums for about 30 mins or so already looking this up, but can't seem to find any solutions. Most threads seem to end with either a "report to launchpad" or they just end without resolution. So in case I've missed a solved thread:
Plugging my Kodak C503 in gives inability to mount due to lock issues, the infamous -60 lockout. However, I get TWO icons in metacity, neither are mounted/will mount. Turning the cam off removes both, and I can't get down to only one. Not sure if this is because it's reading the camera's internal memory + my SD card.
So, I pulled the SD card out, and jacked it into my card reader in my lappy. no dice. In fact, none of my SD cards work; leading me to believe I need to find drivers for it.
Notes: (1)It's a Pavillion ZD7000 (2)nothing pops up in fdisk (3)I really don't want to load up windows
Every time I reboot my server, it no longer connects to the internet. It is dual-homed with an internal and an external interface. Both come up. The internal connection works fine. Nothing happens on the external interface. Ifconfig shows that both interfaces are setup correctly. My iptables settings are properly restored. Forwarding is automatically enabled. For some reason packets do not go anywhere on the external interface. This has been true ever since the upgrade to jaunty I think (now running lucid).
Once I restart the external interface it works perfectly (eg ifdown eth1; ifup eth1 or /etc/init.d/networking restart). The problem only occurs after a reboot and only occurs on the external interface.
Here's my /etc/network/interfaces file:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

i remember back a few years ago you could partition the drive by simply sliding a slider, and now trying to install ubuntu next to xp my dad was unable to set it up. This is a big step back for the design of the partitioner. He was able to set up ubuntu 7.04 on his old computer many years ago when i was not there. He tried to set up 10.04 today and got so frustrated with ubuntu wanting to take most of his drive, that he gave up. why was the "simple slide to set space you where going to give ubuntu" taken away. he just wants to set up the space he didn't want to deal with root, swap space, and so on. he just wanted to set up a block of space that ubuntu can use however it wants. but the partitioner will not let him. this needs to be fixed. the install process must be simple to use by everyone. i do not want my friends and family getting frustrated with installing it. he was excited to try the new ubuntu till he got to dealing with the partitioner and after that he wanted nothing to do with ubuntu. the installer is the first thing they see make that the primary focus of "easy of use".

View 9 Replies View RelatedI setup a dual boot system, with approximately 200gig planned for ubuntu 10.10. Based on the article here:[URL]..And this quote:
Quote:
# sda1 Recovery Partition, unchanged
# sda2 Windows partition, shrunk preferably from inside Windows, hopefully about 30Gb
# sda3 Primary Partition, 10Gb, file-system = ext3, in the Partitioning Section of the installer change the "Mount Point" = /
[Code]...
I assumed at that point that the "sda3" "/" would be for booting purposes. I would have to guess that I was wrong, because it is filling up very quickly. As you may be able to tell by the screen shot, "sda5", "/home" was what was assumed to be the file structure to store all of the programs and such.
I have only been running this setup for a week, and would expect to not be seeing my "boot" partition growing so quickly. Do I need to resize it? here do the standard programs that I get from the ubuntu software center install at (partition wise)? I suppose I dont mind wiping that section dry and starting over, but I would give a resize a try if possible.
I am very new to linux. The first time i ran a linux machine was one Saturday. Anyway I am trying to set up an apache web server, all I want to do is play around with html and post it on my unbuntu server so it is available to the internet. I am also trying to install samba but I am having trouble with that so for now I am using winscp. Ok, so I made a folder in my home directory for webstuff, and set up apache to look in that folder.
mkdir /home/username/webstuff
I put my index.html file into the /webstuff folder.
But when I go to my website, it says 403 error unable to access "/"
Did I make the folder in the right place? I do not want people being able to access my / folder so maby I made the web stuff folder in the wrong place? Also I thought I would just put my inded.html file inside of the default one apache gives you, but when I tried to transfer index.html it said permission denied. How to set up permissions so I can use apache and transfer my html files from my remote desktop to my server would be great!
I'm an owner of a ATI mobility radeon X1300 card. Since ATI tagged my card as legacy, i'm stuck with the open source radeon drivers. Wich doesn't bother me, as i know they are slower and openGL support doesn't equal fglrx. What does bother me is that the current version 7.9 dev. claims to have full opengl support up to 2.1. I'm trying to use a extention that is part of the openGL version 1.3 and it's failing. This is a known issue for a long time now and it really disappoints me. "Compressed textures" is what i'm talking about.
Is there any way to make sure that drivers aren't tagged with something they support if they obviously don't? I guess the KDE4 kwin vs drivers thing is the same as i'm trying to say now. Drivers should be documented with what they effectively support and not what they should support. What can I do to make this public to xorg developers? I could only think about posting this here as i have no idea where to put it elsewere. Could someone please point me in the right direction to where i should send this complaint?
2010.07.21 while trying to install Ubuntu 10.4 I've been trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell workstation and am unable to get the Grub-2 bootloader to load properly. It seems to be failing for lack of a floppy drive on the system resulting in an error message that reads : error: fd0 cannot get C/H/S values.
I've gone through the Grub-2 page at [URL].. to no avail and other sources having similar problems have likewise turned up no solutions. here's the background: A while back I was trying to install a different version of Linux and had the same problems, then had to set the project aside for a bit. I don't think this has anything to do with Linux or Ubuntu per se, but rather Grub.
The system is an old (4-5 years) Dell workstation that has one drive (128 GB) set up for Windows XP and a second new drive (500GB) which I installed for Linux. There is a DVD/CD drive and the system contains no floppy drive at all. In one attempt to get this working I tried modifying the BIOS to indicate there was a floppy drive - this created a failure earlier in the chain with the BIOS failing to load properly, not unexpected, just a shot in the dark at that point.
At the moment I am considering just running out to buy and install a cheap floppy drive to see if that helps. I'll never use the thing though so I'd rather find a solution that doesn't require me to spend money on useless hardware. In any case, here's the /boot/grub/grub.cfg contents:
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

I'm having trouble installing it on a "new" computer that I found at Goodwill for $60 with no operating system on it. When I go to edit the partitions, it won't let me do anything due to an apparent lack of a root filesystem. (I know this issue has been brought up and resolved in the past, but the usual solution (going into the validation.py file) isn't working for me, as there is no line in this one that says "if not root".)

I am running a drupal 7 site no problems. What I need to do is run a multi site sub directory. (domain.com/newsite). So far the best I can do is get a directory index of the second site (domain.com/newsite), but cant run the installer.

Any ideas from anyone? I can get Sobdomains to work fine on a test mache, but sadly I need the domain/site to work due to lack of DNS support at the moment.

I'm using a HP 7100 laptop and have tried installing the latest versions of Suse, Mandriva, as well as Slakware and have repeatedly been faced with two problems: .1. No Sound: Research via the web suggests that the lack of sound MAY BE due to the particular HP laptop model but there is a doubt here. Sound does work with the Winow$ 7 software but it does not work with any of the above noted Linux softwares. Are any of you familiar with this? .2. KPPP: Are any of you using KPPP with the latest version of Fedora, using KDE4? If so, how did you get it to work?
