I have got facebook chat to work in pidgin but I am having problems connecting it. When I first open pidgin it gives me an error it says at the bottom "You require encryption, but it is not available on this server." if I keep clicking on reconnect it will usually connect me at some point but it can take a long time I'm wondering on how to fix this. So that it will connect automatically

Im wondering if its possible to set up a local network chat client on my work computers, they run redhat enterprise and they have pidgin installed on them. Is there a way to setup pidgin to be able to chat with other clients on a local network but not over the internet because the computers are not hooked up to an internet connection. I expect there is a way to do this but couldnt figure it out.alternatively if there is a command line utility that can do this i would be interested to know more,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI get a problem when I try to connect to jabber chatroom. I tried to join a chat room in the following way: "Buddies > Add chat...", set the name of existing room (it exactly exists), server and group to what I want to add new chat in my contact list. The room isn't protected by password, therefore I didn't set password. New contact was added to my contact list. But when I try to open chat's window by doubleclick on this contact nothing happens. I also don't watch any error messages in pidgin's debug window while I'm trying to open chat window. Attempt to click on "Join" in contact's context menu or join a chat by "Buddies > Join a chat room..." also don't yield results. I use pidgin v.2.6.1 on Slackware 12.2. What's wrong?

View 6 Replies View Relatedi've recently installed pidgin via the Ubuntu Software Center. Unfortunnately it is lacking a "chat history" just like for example "Trillian" on Windows. Is there any IM-prog on Ubuntu which saves all conversations with any contact into files? (Just like Trillian on windows)
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm currently writing a simple script which uses luckyBackup to backup my /home directory to /tmp. I then want to tar it, encrypt it with gpg and move it onto a usb stick. My question is that suppose my hard disk died and I needed to restore from this USB backup, would I still be able to decrypt the file given that I would have lost gpg keys etc when the disk died? (I would still know the passphrase though). Should I be backing up gpg files separately?

I'll be placing sensitive data on the drive & need to figure out how to encrypt it. From what i've read so far, the easiest way will be to encrypt the swap, /home, tmp, temp files. Not quite sure how to do this. I'd prefer to encrypt the whole drive, but this seems quite complicated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to think of the best way to encrypt a partition on my flash drive.
I plan on storing ssh/pgp keys on it for use on different computers (including school computers, where I won't have administrative access).
TrueCrypt is going to require admin access to decrypt and mount the partition, I think, so that's out.
Are there any other methods you all would recommend?
I just found a neat way to encrypt a file in Ubuntu 10.04.
I right click on a file and select the Encrypt option. The program prompts me to "Choose Recipient" so I choose myself on the list. Then it prompts me to enter my passphrase.
Once all that's done I hit enter and it adds .pgp to the end of whatever file just encrypted. The same basic method is used to Sign the file.
Does it sound as though what I said is correct and that the file I wanted to encrypt was indeed encrypted?
Can anyone crack my files without the passphrase? I'm sure it depends on the complexity and length of the passphrase.
We have some script files on our linux servers. For security purpose our requirement is to keep these files encrypted . I mean when we open the files it will looks like as for example i am showing you one encripted file of iur server. how can i do this.

[utibaadm@AIRTELVTUD2_UVAS01server_monitoring]$cat SOUTH_DTH_MONITOR.sh
#!/bin/sh

tmpdir=`/bin/mktemp -d ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/gzexe.XXXXXXXXXX` || exit 1
prog="${tmpdir}/`echo "$0" | sed 's|^.*/||'`"

I have just installed Ubuntu Jaunty (I do not like Karmic, please don't try to make me upgrade) and after installing all my programs I realized I did not encrypt my home directory.
I know it's very simple to do this during the installation but I can't seem to find an option to do it after it.
Is there a way to do this?

If possible, could I use something that has a public Key, so I do not have to type in a password to access the information when I plug the drive into my machie, but will not open or display contant if the drive is plugged into anyone else's machine, unless they have the public key?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. I love the passwords and keys application, but was somewhat surprised at the lack of a context menu in gnome to encrypt a file.
In general, I cannot find how to encrypt files using the keys I generate. Maybe I'm missing something? Probably, I just thought since Ubuntu comes with OOB key generation it would have OOB encryption capabilities.
I've read about seahorse and other ways to ADD encryption, I'm just wondering if ubuntu does it natively. It'd be a good idea to add to brainstorms, right click and encrypt.
So what I want to do is encrypt my entire hard drive, but heres the thing.
I dual boot Ubuntu and windows 7, but I am afraid that if I use truecrypt to do the encrypting that it will wipe GRUB and not allow me to boot into any OS, is that a possibility and is there a way around it?
How would You encrypt Passwords [emails,forums,accounts] onto USB Flash the most Secure way? (It should be command line so I can use any Linux distribution on it.) Is gpg -c <filename> secure enough ? And what FAST distro would you install on it? I'm learning on old USB flash and found SliTaz pretty damn cool,I use it as a LiveUSB. Also I've tried Kubuntu but it's bit slow. Going to try Lubuntu soon too. Any other idea?
And I'd like to install some FAST distro onto new 8GB mini USB flash drive,maybe Kubuntu as well. How would you partition its Flash drive? Probably separate partition for stored encrypted files?
I just tried out setting a master password for Firefox saved passwords and compared the old and new (before and after setting the master password) signons.sqlite files. Although passwords were not stored in plain text in either of the files, I did notice that the files were exactly the same. Am I wrong in assuming that setting the master password did not encrypt anything at all, or am I simply looking at the wrong file?
