I'm using kubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso live (booted via grub2 loopback directly from iso on hd, in case that makes a difference). Processor is a E2180 which according to the Intel website supports the NX bit. I've enabled the option "Execute Bit Support" in the BIOS. /proc/cpuinfo shows both nx and pae in both flags lines. But dmesg says "Using x86 segment limits to approximate NX protection".

I have an ssh tunnel with my ubuntu (vps) server. On my local computer I have proxifier, to redirect everything with socks5.
Everything works fine, I can browse websites and that. Email also works.
But when I want to visit a website that uses https it doesn't work. I do not get to see the website, or receive an internal server error.
I found several instructions on how to use a live CD to reset the local admin password to blank.I download 10.10, installed chntpw, mounted the drive, and used the utility on the SAM dbase.Seems to work everytime and I write the changes and get a return code of 0.Then I reboot and the blank password doesn't work. Tried 3 times.
So I noticed that there was an "x" in the box that showed a policy that says you can't have a blank password when you 1st run chntpw. So I tried changing it to something else instead of blank.Still no go.
So I installed pam-script
made this script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
RFID_AUTH_SUCCESS=0
#Read the card
tag=`'/etc/rfid/RFID-login'`
code....
Code:
sudo test
It doesn't ask for my password and instantly authenticates as root!
if I run the above posted script manually, (cd into the dir and execute it), it works fine and produces the result 1 if positive and 0 if negative.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and for some reason, privoxy just won't start properly on startup. I see privoxy is there when I run 'ps -A', but Firefox says that it is refusing connections. When I run 'sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart', it restarts and everything is peachy. But for some reason, it just won't start properly on boot
View 1 Replies View RelatedI like to encrypt my swap and tmp partition with /dev/urandom but it doesn't work. I tried it 100 times and now I have no idea.
Code:
cat /etc/crypttab
swap /dev/sda3 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
cat /etc/fstab

If I reboot I get the message "/dev/mapper/swap" doesn't exist. It seems, that crypsetup doesn't setting up the encrypted block device. SElinux is in permissive mode.
I recently was able to network 2 computers at home and I wanted to make my password more secure. When I try to edit my password via System>Administration>Users and Groups, it doesn't workI am able to edit my user settings. When I change my password I enter my old one and it accepts my new one. Problem is when I try to install programs, login and do other things it only accepts my old password. How can I change my password?

I use iptables firewall (v1.4.1) installed on FC8. I'm trying to limit the inflow traffic for the port 1723 to certain MAC addresses. To experiment with the mac option, I've written the following iptables rule:
Quote:
iptables -A INPUT -m -mac --mac-source 10:08:08:08:08:10 -j ACCEPT
It didn't work. It gave me this error message:
Quote:
iptables v1.4.1: Couldn't load match `-mac':/usr/local/libexec/xtables/libipt_-mac.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information. Does that mean the mac module wasn't installed/enabled?
A lot of times when I start up my computer, instead of the graphical login screen I'm brought to a CLI login. If I log in and do "startx," it'll start KDE, but sound doesn't work and the shutdown/restart options disappear. (The logout option is still there.) It's inconsistent; sometimes it'll start the GUI and sometimes it won't. I have yet to find out what causes it to work right and what causes it to bring me to the CLI. When it doesn't work, if I run "shutdown -r now" or "shutdown -h now," it'll start the GUI as the computer is shutting down. I've tried Ctrl+Alt+F7 when it's brought me to the CLI, but it didn't do anything

I have an Apple iBook (ancient I know) and whenever I boot from the Live CD (Kubuntu 10.10) it boots up in 800x600 (as far as I can tell that's what it is). This would be a problem however it simplely leaves a huge black column on the right side and has a partially duplicated desktop below it.
When I go to display settings it won't let me change to a higher resolution (1024x768 is what the iBook natively runs at).
This is an iBook G3.
i have an Acer Aspire laptop, 4GB of ram, with Vista and Kubuntu installed (dual boot). When checking my computer properties in Windows, it does say that i have 4GB, but Kubuntu's system monitor says that i have only 2.9GB.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter discovering that the firewall was wide open I decided to finally study the iptables docs and learn how to add rules. Now, I've not yet finished reading guides and documentation but I'd like some advice before I set the default policy on the input chain to deny. I have added a permissive rule for the loopback adapter so that programs that use it do not become mute suddenly. I will also use netstat to see what ports to open for each program that connects to the internet. I'm not that interested in what ports to open but how to find what ports to open.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI ran Kubuntu 10.4 from the Live CD and from the start The screen was automatically set to be as dim as possible, but in the power manager the brightness is set to be as bright as possible. Moving around the slider doesn't do nothing, and when I click the battery icon in the tray, it shows another brightness slider that's set to dim as possible, when I move it around it has no effect and just goes back to where it was when I close the popup window. Right now I'm running from the livedisk on an IBM T42 thinkpad laptop.How do I fix this, is it a hardware issue, I've had problems with my graphics card in the past with compositing in X/Ubuntu.I've found some text files for the backlight, they're all set to 0 which I believe is the problem, however even though I'm running the File Manager as root with kdesudo and the permissions are set to read and write for the owner, who is root, I can't save any changes.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I google this I get a million results, most of which are either too in-depth to be practical or advertisements for one solution or another. Is there a general guideline for hardening a linux (kubuntu) system? A set of steps say, to close all ports and disable all listening services like you would do to a windows machine? I can hardly believe that there are NO vulnerable points of attack on a default kubuntu 10.10 install. I don't know very much right now so I'm looking for something to fill in the gaps and translate my knowledge of windows (in)security into a holistic view of how the penguin operates.

I was trying to setup gogui to work on kubuntu, using instructions found on an ubuntu forum: [URL]. I did not even have Java installed yet, so I first tried installing some of the sun-java6 packages. Usually kpackage is good at picking dependent packages and installing them also, but apparently not this time. Next time I tried using kpackage, I was not able to do anything. It gave me a message saying I had broken dependencies, and should use synaptic or aptitude. I do not even have these installed! I think that un-installing the Java software and starting over should do the trick, but I'm not sure how to do this from the command line. Also the instructions in the link above never worked for me.
