With the gpg command I used to encrypt files so they saved as plain text (the encrypted files were viewable in a plain text editor though were a encrypted nightmare)
I just forget the option in the gpg command to do this and I can't find it in a hurry either in the man file
I put a text file on my desktop and added a couple lines of text with gedit. File type shows text/plain. Double-click opens the file in gedit which is what I want. I'm using the file to temporarily hold some snips of code that I copy from file to file, but when I copy some html into the file and save it, now file properties show it's text/html and a double-click opens the file in firefox, which isn't what I want. Is there some way to keep the file type from changing itself?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been using openoffice.org a lot recently and I was hoping that I'd be able to cat the contents of the file solely through the terminal.What's the best way to do this? My thought is to use a command in a terminal to convert to plain text and cat the file.

Basically, I have a selection of .rdp shortcuts to various machines, but they are considered the file type "plain text document (text/plain)" so if I change it to open with to tsclient, all of that file type opens with tsclient. And if I change it to gedit, all the rdp files open with gedit. Is there a way to create a custom file type dependent on the extension rdp, or is there a way to set tsclient to open by extension rather than filetype?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI somehow managed to screw up my lucid lynx system so that all files show up under Nautilus properties as Type Plain Text. When I double click a file, any file, the system tries to open it as plain text with gedit. Everything worked correctly until yesterday when I tried to install a new version of PyQt4. If I reboot with an old (karmic) version of Ubuntu and bring up Nautilus Properties on the same file (my data partition can be opened in other OS's) the files show up with the correct file type (PDF, ODT, etc) So the problem is not in the file itself, but rather in the lucid OS, which is mis-interpreting the file type. As I said I somehow messed it up when installing the new version of PyQt4.

heres the command
Code:

the file is pretty big, everything on a new line. i found the command on a web site so i'm sure its correct(bit of a command line in linux newbie)
can anyone confirm if this will remove lines duplicate lines (keeping one copy) and dump what is left in a file named rand-shorter.txt?

When I print receipts from certain company's emails, they span three pages or more bloated with images, links and overly large text. I can view the message in plain text by setting the preferences to only display text instead of html, but it doesn't affect what is printed. I still get the full HTML page printed. Is there a way to force evolution to print in plain text instead of HTML?

Linux kernel 2.6.21.5, Slackware 12.0.
I would like to know if it would be easy for me to get a program which, given a plain text file as input, discards the line separators and writes the rest as its output. And let's put in the case of a file that has been mangled to the point of having CR,LF (carriage return, line feed) in some places, only CR in others, and only LF in still other places. That is, the three possible combinations used in systems as a newline char (the 1st is, or was used by m$- dos, the 3rd one by Unix and I know systems where CR is the line terminator).
After all, all the program has to do is, every time it finds a char belonging to the set {CR, LF}, cast it away.
I was wondering if there is way to hide passwords in bash scripts. For example: I have to write a script to export a full ldap structure, and I'm using the ldapsearch -y passwordfile, where password file is a plain text file that contains the password. Is there a way to hide the password from that file?
I was thinking to remove the r attribute from the file and before the script is lunched to put the attribute back, but is not a good solution, the same with immutable attribute.
Is there anyway to decrypt some plain text which was encrypted using the function crypt()?

When I run:
Since we switched our server to Squeeze, I'm receiving emails from the cron about a mysql error (...can't use locks with log tables). But this is not the issue I want to talk about here. The issue is that since the executed command is: /usr/bin/mysqlcheck -uroot -pmypassword --all-databases --check-only-changed --silent which is a command that was automatically added to the cron by the mysql package (I believe), the password is sent in clear text in the email's subject. In my sense, this is a serious security issue (sending root password in email subject...)
I don't know at what level it should be corrected, but it seems to me like it should be corrected in the Debian distrib, shouldn't it ?
And for now, how can I hide the password in the emails I receive ?
I've got an apache-svn server up and running fine but I'm struggling with an irritating problem. I need the apache server to display .vbs, .cs., vb., .sh, .pl., .c, .h, .cpp, etc, etc files in the browser. Whenever our users click on a script they get a download dialog instead of the script being displayed in the browser as plain/text. I have added:

I've seen about five different files referenced on various forums, but haven't been able to locate any of them on my computer.
Another thread mentioned appending the following bit of code to the gtkrc file:
Code:

I found the file in /user/share/themes/Default/gtk-2.0-key/.When I open this file, it's empty. I added the code there, but it didn't work. The only other locations I found that file were in the other theme folders, but I use the default.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Xubuntu on a 5+ year-old Acer Aspire laptop. In spite of how the root, swap and home are volumes in an LVM2 group on top of a fully-encrypted harddisk, it's quite swift this computer isn't for me, however; it's for my old man. It's been my pet project for the past few weeks, as an exercise in making Linux both highly secure and user-friendly, so that even a technophobe like him could use it without fear of identity theft if it ever gets lost or stolen. I recently shipped it off to him...
The weakest part of security, however, I fear may be the screensaver, which is why I ask. I've searched and searched and cannot manage to find any information on security hardening practices (apart from banal advice such as "always choose a secure password" and "never log in to an X-session as root"). What I want to know is, just how safe is a locked screen? Also...is it technically possible with the right tools to get a core dump of a running computer and thus extract the block device encryption key from memory? I know that your run-of-the-mill thief will just try hitting the power button and throwing in a livedisk, but hey, you never know. Edit: found.

Kubuntu 10.04, how do you get rid of the background image for the bar? I want my desktop functional and not visually interesting. The taskbar (sorry I forget the correct name) background makes it much harder to see the useful content, especially the icon for selecting between desktops, that uses the same shades as the default image.
I took a few google searches and a bunch of experiments just to get rid of the image (in favor of a solid color) for the main desktop. That dialog was not where I expected it and I wasted lots of time in dialogs for configuring the desktop appearance that don't offer that basic option. But I did find it. That still leaves an image as background for the bar, and I have no clue how to get rid of that image.
