After that i use the readme or install text file for the rest of the commands i need but im not sure cause ive never installed from tar.gz before
How to install a .tar.gz file ?

I brought a computer online which is operated by Ubuntu and I know nothing about it. I had an HP printer that I couldn't get to function. I was told that HP didn't have drivers (or something like that) for Linux Ubuntu. I just brought a Lexmark which showed on the box was okay for Linux but when I load the installation disc I can't figure how to get to the "Welcome" screne and follow it through the installation. I do not kow computer terms (a newbie) and will need to be taken step-by-step through the process, if it's even possible.

I ask your help to diagnose a problem. For business reasons I use a broadband internet connection via a mobile phone's connected via bluetooth [rfcomm]. Speed is not the maximum but it is more than sufficient for my work. For configuration of ppp I followed this guide Pon pulls up dialup, but I can't navigate also if resolv.conf and default route are correct. In addition I would like to use the NetworkManager that by default, does not see the device. I worked around the problem this way:
I modified the / etc / rc.local so that launch at boot time: # Rfcomm bind yes
After starting Lucid Lynx, bluetooth connects to the phone but NetworkManager does not see the modem.
When I run the connection manually, by: # Pon BluetoothDialup
NetworkManager sees the device, but can not use it because obviously it is locked by the ppp daemon.
So I close the connection with: # poff
Now NetworkManager sees the broadband modem via / dev/rfcomm0, dialup is performed properly. I can finally surf and just enable vpn with NetworkManager. all start automatically at boot, without the need to manually connect and disconnects the dialup to use, finally, the NetworkManager.

So the key keyboard shortcut is:
CTRL+ALT+TAB
With it you change the focus from the desktop to the panel, and vice versa When the focus in in the panel you can move from icon to icon with TAB (to the right) or SHIFT+TAB (to the left). Then Enter key (sometimes F10 instead) makes the same as left-clicking with the mouse, and SHIFT+F10 makes the same as right-clicking with the mouse. ESC key (sometimes Enter instead) takes the menus out.

I recently installed Ubuntu Linux and did not encrypt the home directory during the install. Now I want to encrypt my home directory, or even better the whole hard drive.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a major major issue with an encrypted /home directory. I had used encryption on my home directory when I installed 9.10. However, I had not noticed that I needed to store the automatically generated passphrase anywhere. Now, upon installing 10.04, my home directory would not decrypt. I checked my .encryptfs directory and the wrapped-passphrase file is GONE. I only have the Private.sig files from my 9.10 installation and of course know the login password I binded to the passphrase. I can see my .Private directory with filenames starting with ECRYPTFS_FNEC_ENCRYPTED. Now, my PhD thesis which I have to deliver in 2 weeks is in there. With no backups. How to recover my data. If no 'normal' method would work, is it possible to use a brute force attack and feed it my login password?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI had a student, and she has done some work on her account on my lab computer, but has left the country and is un-contactable.
I have full administrator privileges for this machine, and it is running Ubuntu LTS 10.04
She has a folder which was copied from a windows formatted external hard drive (Probably NTFS) onto her home partition on my machine.
I can open all of her files, except for those in this folder.
As I see it the problem is either something to do with the permissions of the files (coming from NTFS), or some kind of Ubuntu security that I am unaware of?
Here are my attempts to open it code...
I was just wondering wether a directory (I know thats just a special file) could be a security problem, as they have execute permissions? Could an exploit be attached to a directory. Has this ever happened?

Here's the beginning of the issue: I'm running Fedora 12 with httpd and sshd. I want to create a user with a scponly shell for sftp access, but this user should ONLY be able to view /the/http/base/dir and its subdirectories. The user should not be able to see or get into directories above the httpd base. Someone mentioned creating a chroot jail for sshd and binding the httpd base to that dir, but this seems like more work than is necessary for the application I wish. Also mentioned was creating a user, say user1 with a selinux user setting of staff_r. I have read the articles and creating a user of staff_r isn't overly difficult, but how would I make it where staff_r would be restricted to where I want them to be? If I'm not mistaken, that would require changing the context of /the/httpd/base/dir?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter some time i always see a trojan virus in my ubuntu machines shared folder. It is an exe detected by ClamAv as Trojan.Autokit-77 I thought i was getting it from some windows machine on the network but that isn't the case. I deleted the virus and removed my computer from the network and still the virus comes back. My computer however, is still connected to the internet through an independent mobile broadband usb stick.
So where is the virus coming from and why is it going to my shared folder. I thought ubuntu would not allow the virus to do something like this without me giving it permission. I am running 10.4.
I have carefully made daily backups using rdiff-backup, so in the case of needing to restore I can do so.
But I deleted a directory yesterday, and made a backup in the evening. Therefore, the directory is not in the latest mirror, but in the incremental backup from yesterday.
Now I need to restore the directory. But I cannot figure out how to!
I can see the directory in yesterday's incremental backup; i.e., the following works:
Code:
Where [backupdir] is the backup (mirror) directory, and [nameofdir] is the name of the directory I'm trying to restore.
So, I have tried to restore. This is the type of thing I have tried:
Code:
Where to-restore.lst holds the name of the directory to restore (in rdiff-backup's format) and [restoredir]is where I want the restored directory to go to.
But, I get errors like:
Code:
Useful file specifications begin with the base directory or some pattern (such as '**') which matches the base directory. Well, obviously the file specification doesn't exist in the [restoredir]. That's because I'm trying to restore it! If I try to create an empty directory first, it complains:

How do I restore a deleted directory from a previous day's backup to a designated destination?
