Ubuntu :: Compile A Lib For Gpg Encryption For Handling Old Keys?
Aug 1, 2011
I have been using so far only 32bit ubuntu, but now for various reasons I have to change to 64bit I need to compile a lib for gpg encryption for handling old keys, namely .I have the idea.c file and had some instruction with which I was able to create the lib from it for the 32bit linux. The intruction was:
gcc -Wall -02 -shared -fPIC -o idea idea.c
this seems not to work under 64bit and the old lib does not work under 64bit either obviously. particularly the compiler tells me -02 option is unknown, does it matter? or what is -02 ?

I just recently upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04, but using the classic desktop instead of unity, mainly because unity sucks big time, but that's a different story, anyway, when I used 10.10 I had a key setup for access to my remote SSH server, but now when I try to set up a new key using passwords and encryption, I get:- "Couldn't configure secure shell keys on remote computer", followed by:- '** (process:2532):WARNING **:couldn't open fd 27:Bad file desciptor' 3 lines of this with different process numbers then I got ''** (process:2535):WARNING **:couldn't open fd 27:Bad file descriptor: Permission Denied. Please try again'
I have not changed anything on the remote server at all. I can access SSH using PuTTy sucessfuly, but I want to set up a key using the ubuntu passwords and encryption key program, but since ugrading to 11.04 I can not do that for some reason.

I have a lot of passwords and keys for FTP and SSH connections that I need to keep. When using the "Passwords and Encryption Keys" the Export menu is sensitive/disabled.
I need to back them up, amongst other things, as I'll be re-partitioning my hard drive which will most likely result in a fresh install of Ubuntu.

I know this has probably been asked too many times here but I need to secure my emails. Personal matters of course. But yeah. I use the program "Password and Encryption Keys" to generate a key to sign my emails with but I do not know what to do. To be blunt, I'm stupid when it comes to this. IF not, steps in creating a key? and giving it (my public key) to the significant other? Finding where both keys are? Implementing it into Thunderbird? If it helps any here's some extra information: Ubuntu distro: Ubuntu 10.04 Email client: Thunderbird

I am not very security minded...I'm aware of it, and always made sure I had up-to-date overall protection in Windows but firewalls, and the blasted passwords are largely a thorn in my side!When I got my iPhone last year I suddenly discovered password managers & "wallets" to keep all that kind of information in and syncable across different devices. My life got so much easier. Of course now I need to figure out encryption keys, and how they work (I'm clueless). I also need to find a program or system that I can move my existing low-tech info (mailnly user name & passwords) that will also accomodate the increased needs of Ubuntu security and still be sync-able. I started a little research weeks ago, but my current "wallet" only exports .csv so I quit since I'm going to have to do a lot of data entry whatever I go with.So here goes:
1) what is the difference (bare bones) between using an encryption key (e.k.) vs. a standard user created password? what situations are better suited for e.k.?
2) I have seahorse (default intall with Ubuntu I guess) but the only thing in it is Login under passwords which leads to a login keyring (?) and a drop-down list of about 6-10 of the gazillon passwords I use daily. The other tabs are for keys which I don't have any concept of.
3) I know FF also "remembers" user id & passwords as you choose to have it do so. Is that information transferable into seahorse or another program?
4)I'm also (today) getting ready to really set up my system for user names & security across my little home network. How can I integrate that into whichever program/app I go with to store my pwds and keys?
5)give me links to fairly current documentation on this stuff?
6) Any program/app recommendations.Pros/cons uses, what they can & can't do or be used for, etc.

I don't know if this is a configuration issue or a hardware issue, but I have a Kinesis Advantage USB keyboard and for some reason the F3-F5 keys aren't responding as they used to. They don't respond to anything and, when I tried using F5 on Emacs, it said <XF86AudioNext> is undefined, so I guess it's a weird mapping problem.
Any idea how I could remap them to the original meaning?

I'm running Debian (Squeeze) and I have a toshiba portege m700. It has five buttons on the front just under the screen, which are the only ones accessible when you flip the screen over into tablet mode. One of them is for rotating the screen, and another is for switching to external display. I want to remap the remaining three to control, alt and super so that I can use shortcuts with the stylusThe problem is, when I used showkey to find out the key codes, I found out that each button generates more than one key code:Button 1:
key 126 press >> super_r, although this is distinct from the actual super key (125)
key 7 press >> 6
key 7 release
key 126 release

I really have tried Googling this over many, many hours, and I still can't make sense of it all, especially since I keep reading conflicting info.
In 9.10, the Usplash boot splash was replaced by XSplash, which is based on X11, and when we all realised something was up with GDM (when we couldn't find a way to customise the login anymore), I read it was not GDM controlling that anymore, but X11. So, the way I read it (on many different sites), XSplash in 9.10 controlled both the boot splash and the login, even though the hacks for customising the login involve commands with "gdm" in them.
Now, in 10.04, the short-lived XSplash has been replaced by "Plymouth", and I get all that... as far as the boot splash goes. What I don't understand is the login process.
There is talk of GDM2 coming out, and I've seen people asking when this will be implemented in Ubuntu, but if the move is away from GDM altogether towards a boot/login process totally based on X11, will this happen?
More importantly, what is controlling the login now? Is it still GDM, or is it X11 that gdm commands work on or something? (The hacks people used in 9.10 still work in 10.04)
Also, because I have Xubuntu and Kubuntu in the same system, and have had things like KDM taking over login happen after upgrades, I have to ask what is controlling the boot process and login for Ubuntu's siblings? (To me they now look almost identical, so wonder if they're all X11 based)

I remember having the same problem with kde/Fedora a few years back, and I can't remember the solution. Trying to open any attachment in evolution gives the error "No application is registered as handling this file" and you have to save the attachment, and then open it as normal. I have checked all the file associations, and they are fine, and the same attachment in evolution under Gnome opens fine.

I am building an active directory and using BIND9 as my DNS. To allow for secure dynamic updates from the domain, I am enabling GSS-TSIG as detailed here and here. Unfortunately, some of the commands and configurations used here seem to be depreciated, at least in the newer versions that I'm using. My issue is one of keytab encryption. I generated a keytab using ktpass.exe on the Windows Server 2008 domain controller. I have tried DES/MD5, AES128/SHA1 and AES256/SHA1, each have been turned down by ktutil on the kerberos server (FreeBSD). Each time, it outputs the following error: ktutil: AES256/SHA1*: encryption type AES256/SHA1* not supported *Respective to encryption used.
I cannot find a list of suitable encryption schemes that ktutil will accept. The FreeBSD handbook details a means of producing a keytab file, but I'm not sure how to configure the Domain Controller to use the keytab.

I'm just starting out on a project relating to web search, to be done in C++. Which library should I use to help with downloading web pages into memory so that I can process them? The big thing is I want to be able to download the pages into variables/structures without actually putting them onto the hard disk.I googled and saw libcurl, but I was confused by some of the examples and wondering if this was really what I wanted.

Ubuntu Lucid amd64, mutt-1.5.20-7ubuntu1
I'm pretty sure the following used to work:
Code:
$ mutt mailto:url?subject="Whoop dee doo"
Now mutt exits silently with status=1. Tried setting EDITOR/VISUAL, no difference.
Edit: I had tempdir pointed at a non-existent directory in my .muttrc. Still annoying that there was no error message, but at least things are working again.

Code: #include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>

During my read, "Code Complete",the author described the different ways of handling the ADT interface.He has wrote this passage:
Quote:
Option 2: Explicitly provide the data used by the ADT services. In this approach, you declare the data that the ADT uses within each routine that uses an ADT service. In other words, you create a Font data type that you pass to each of the ADT service routines. You must design the ADT service routines so that they use the Font data that's passed to them each time they're called. The client code doesn't need a font ID if you use this approach because it keeps track of the font data itself. (Even though the data is available directly from the Font data type, you should access it only with the ADT service routines.This is called keeping the structure "closed.") The advantage of this approach is that the ADT service routines don't have to look up font information based on a font ID. The disadvantage is that it exposes font data to the rest of the program, which increases the likelihood that client code will make use of the
ADT's implementation details that should have remained hidden within the ADT.
The problem is that it is a bit subtle in terms of coding for me. Can anybody give more concrete example, in working codes, especially in Java?

I'm trying to set up firefox system-wide to handle ed2k links properly, I'm following amule wiki howto at this page http://wiki.amule.org/index.php/Ed2k_links_handling but it seems a little outdated, I tried to create /usr/share/firefox/greprefs/all.js and /usr/local/share/firefox/greprefs/all.js but I got no results. I also tried to edit /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.17/greprefs/all.js with no luck. So where should I put ed2k handling strings to apply them system-wide ?

I have a script that connects to a windows server, downloads a file, appends to it and then re-uploads the updated file. I want to implement error handling. An email is to be generated indicating whether there was an error or not. This email should include all standard and error output as a body. The current script looks something like this:
Code:
function Email_ServerSupport {
for time in once; do
echo "Subject: Billing - smb copy to accounting" $1
cat /tmp/smbx
cat /tmp/smbxerr
done | mail $EMAILADDR
}
/usr/bin/cp /dev/null /tmp/smbx
/usr/bin/cp /dev/null /tmp/smbxerr
cd /tmp
/usr/sfw/bin/smbclient $LOCATION -A $AUTHFILE >>/tmp/smbx <<EOF
get $OUTFILE
exit
EOF
cat $INFILE >> $OUTFILE
/usr/sfw/bin/smbxclient $LOCATION -A $AUTHFILE >>/tmp/smbx <<EOF
put $OUTFILE
cat /tmp/smbx | grep -v "Domain" | grep -v "putting file" | grep -v "getting file" >> /tmp/smbxerr
if [ -s /tmp/smbxerr ]; then
Email_ServerSupport " ERROR"
exit
else
echo "Transfer successful."
Email_ServerSupport " SUCCESS"
fi
The reason for the grep -v's is because, from my understanding, when using smbclient, ALL output goes to stdout, even errors. For this reason, I need to filter out lines including "domain" "putting file" or "getting file", all of which aren't errors. The problem is that even though the script seems to catch errors successfully now and then, the success email ends up blank (/tmp/smbx is somehow empty). I'm also worried it could miss possible errors I haven't tested. I'm thinking it has to do with the way "EOF" functions. Is there any way to capture output from the "put" and "get" commands? I can't simply redirect the output, can I?

I am writing completion function for one PHP framework called symfony. It has command line interface with syntax:
Code:
symfony [options] [namespace:]action
I want to make action be autocompletable. The function is simplest so far:
Code:
function _symfony_commands()
{
[ -r "cache/completion/.sf" ] && cat cache/completion/.sf
}
[code]....
But, if there is : symbol which separate namespace from action problems coming:
symfony doct[TAB]
will be completed to
symfony doctrine:
But nothing happens if you want complete after : symbol. I've found out that for readline there is three words because it splits line with $COMP_WORDBREAKS
Code:
$ echo $COMP_WORDBREAKS
"'><=;|&(:
I played with $COMP_WORDS array and tried every thought I had to make it work, but failed.
What I should do to escape colon and make readline consider it as one word? Or there is way perhaps to workaround it?

To parse several XML documents I'm using libxml++. I do programming for linux angstrom-armv5te. Because compiling libxml++ for this distribution and platform was impossible, I simply included the library to my project, which workes fine. Unfortunately I'm not able not use the exception handing which effects that a simple error inside a documents makes my whole program crash. This should not happen.
Is there a way to check the documents validity before parsing or better active the exception handling for doing this.

I am developing a device that will run Linux as its operating system.The device is a small form factor X86 device with a flash drive exposed as a SATA-device. So it is not very dissimilar from any other PC running Linux.For several good reasons I am building my own "distribution", instead of using an existing one.What confuses me is how mount/umount of the root file system is handled.I boot my kernel with the commandline "root=/dev/sda1 rw" which works fine. But everytime I do poweroff or reboot Busybox complained about no /etc/fstab, so I decided to build one.Should I have an entry for my root file system? It seems like this is shadowed by the rootfs anyway. I.e. if I have the fstab entry "/dev/sda1 / ext2 1 1" mount still reports rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)/dev/root on / type ext2 (rw,relatime,errors=continue)My questions are:Do I need to worry? Will the drive be correctly unmounted by the kernel on poweroff/reboot?If I want to perform file system checking on boot, can I do that without resorting to an initrd?
