Ubuntu Security :: Opening Pgp Files

Jan 14, 2010

After upgrading to 9.10 I am having trouble opening my old files encrypted with pgp. My keyring is still on the computer as I did an update and not a clean install. The problem is that I get a message saying that there is no pgp/mime program installed to open the file. Which program should I install to fix this?

Ubuntu Security :: Opening Privileged Programs From User Desktop?

Apr 13, 2010

How do you open a program, in this instance "Zenmap", from the desktop in a user account when it requires root privileges? Is there a way to be prompted for the password, the same way, for instance, you're prompted when mounting a new file system or making a change to the system? I tried entering 'sudo /usr/bin/zenmap' when creating the shortcut, however that didn't work.

Security :: Securing Machine Before Opening Up SSH Login?

May 12, 2010

I'm currently using Slackware 13.0 and have my machine behind a Linksys DD-WRT router. I believe the DD-WRT software has all ports blocked by default so opening up my machine for SSH login would only leave my system vulnerable at that port. To give an extra layer of security for that opened port, I've created the following script that would be invoked as the users' shell.

#!/bin/sh
#if SSH_CLIENT defined run nail with $SSH_CLIENT as an argument
if [[ -n ${SSH_CLIENT} ]]; then

Ubuntu :: Make Computer Accessible Without Opening Gaping Security Hole?

Mar 4, 2010

my son is 15, autistic and mentally retarded. he is moderate-low functioning and loves to watch barney the dinosaur, thomas the tank engine and other young children's programming on videos on his computer. he can talk in a limited way and can read out loud at about the first-grade level, though he seems to have little or no comprehension of what he's read (hyperlexia).i'm having problems with viruses and spyware because he lacks the judgment that keeps the rest of us from clicking on every window that pops up. we've had a particularly nasty crop of ad-ware viruses lately that pops up graphic porn ads even when the browser is closed. i've had enough of this.

the computer is an ancient dell dimension 4600 desktop (circa ~2002) running windows xp. i've run ubuntu from a live cd and installed flash as a test. videos videos play fine, so that's not a problem. i don't really want to replace the computer becasue it still works and is only used by him to run firefox. i am willing to buy a new computer if that turns out to be the only option.i've been using ubuntu exclusively on my laptop for several years and i would like to remove windows from his computer and replace it with ubuntu. i'm wondering how i can make his computer as accessible as possible to him while not sacrificing too much security.my son has very poor fine motor control over his hands. he can use a mouse with some difficulty, but using a keyboard is out of the question. he can use the mouse to click on the shortcuts to his favorite videos, but i can't think of how he would be able to enter a password for his account. not only does he have the fine motor problem, but he is not able to remember any usefully secure password.

does anyone have any ideas about how to make his computer accessible to him without opening a gaping security hole? two ideas that i've kicked around are creating a user with absolutely the minimum privileges required to use firefox and no password or finding some way to enter a password that doesn't require a keyboard. i haven't come up with how to implement either of those ideas successfully.

Ubuntu :: Opening .xcf Files With Oo Drawing

Jan 19, 2010

I'm running 9.04 jaunty. I made a file in gimp and saved it as .xcf. I want it to be a pdf file, so I try opening it with open office drawing, but it keeps opening it with the word processor instead. The word processor starts the file if I do a right-click 'open with' on the file on my desktop, and even if I use open from the file menu in drawing itself. I'm wondering what to do to get drawing to open this file. Is it that .xcf is not supported by drawing?

Ubuntu :: Gscan2pdf - Hangs On Opening PDF Files

Jan 15, 2010

9.10 Karmic Koala. issue running gscan2pdf. It works fine for scanning, but I want to use it to concatenate / edit existing pdfs. But it hangs on opening PDF files (Import of picture from PDF works fine, but that's not what I need). I tried with a lot of PDF from a lot of different sources.

I added the line "resolution = 200" in the .gscan2pdf file to solve the issue where scanned PDF won't save.

I tried to reinstall the package with Synaptic without more success.

Here the output with debug flag :

Ubuntu :: Saving/opening Files From Firefox?

Jun 2, 2010

I've been getting annoyed with the way that Firefox opens files for me. I used to have it so that they would come up with a window that asked whether I wished to save files onto the hard drive or simply open them. When choosing to Save, they would go to my Desktop. Because I mainly save files from my Uni website, they are generally .pdf files. N for some reason, they open in the Firefox window, so then I have to go to File, Save, then choose where I want to save it. It would be more efficient if it worked the way it did originally. How can I get the settings back to the way they were? I am running Ubuntu 9.04 and Firefox 3.0.19. Because I use a shared computer, I'm not sure whether the version of Firefox has been changed.

Ubuntu :: Remove Warning When Opening Text Files?

Jun 20, 2010

I really hate this warning when I try to open certain types of files in gedit: (using ubuntu lucid)

Quote:

Do you want to run File.c or display its contents?

"File.c" is an executable text file.

Open in Terminal; Display; Cancel; Run

Is there any way to remove the warning? I have never once clicked anything other than display, and when I'm opening lots of files, having to hold down ALT-D to get rid of these warnings.

I install a nautilus plug-in which in turn installed the elinks browser and now all of my .html files are opening in elinks instead of firefox so how do I get .htm/.html and other web type files to open in firefox instead of elinks.

I also tried removing elinks from my system but then the files just open in gedit so again how do I associate .html (and other web files) with firefox.

BTW firefox is already set as my default browser in System > Prefs > Prefered Applications > Web Browser

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Opening Huge Wave Files?

Jun 24, 2011

I have a wav file bigger than 8GB. i recorded it on a windows PC. unfortunately wav files cant be bigger than 2GB. somehow i got a file that is almost 9GB. I tried to chop the file under ubuntu into smaller pieces to open it part by part. i used gnome split to divide the file and made 10 parts out of it. now i have these parts of the data which i cant read with no program except for gnome split to merge them together again - which would only bring me to the beginning of my problem. so my question is: is there any other way to open/ split&open a wav file of that size or maybe a way to open the splitted file partially?

Ubuntu :: Opening Files From External Storage Devices From Within Applications?

May 3, 2010

Running various applications, including Open Office, I need to open files from my external hard drive, from within said application itself. But the file menus for all my applications list only the files of my primary hard drive, and I can't look at other drives. Surely there must be some way to do this.
