Ubuntu :: Multiple Kernels Listed In Grub
Jan 2, 2010I recently installed ubuntu 9.10 and a day later updated with all the suggested security and recommended updates. Now I notice that in my Grub there are two different kernel versions listed. Are they both necessary? Can I / should I get rid of the older one, and if so, how?
I ask because after all these updates I notice my computer runs much slower, so I don't want it overloaded with unnecessary software.
Ubuntu :: Multiple Versions Listed In GRUB 2?
Feb 24, 2010I have a dual boot desktop with WinXP on C: and Ubuntu on D:. GRUB 2 handles the start-up. Having installed multiple updates to Ubuntu, my GRUB menu now lists:
2.5.31-19-generic
2.5.31-17-generic
2.5.31-16-generic
2.5.31-15-generic
2.5.31-14-generic
and (recovery mode) for each of the above, along with the mem test and WinXP.Is there any reason I need to list all these variants of Ubuntu? If not, can I simply edit them from the GRUB config file or must I do something else to actually uninstall them?

Fedora Security :: F12 Kernel Exploits Found?
Nov 25, 2009A few days ago I installed F12 and it was working fine very well up until today when I booted my computer from a perfect working order state yesterday to this. Well my wireless was still being sniffed and slowed down to dial up speed but what's new thats been consistant for at least 3 months I can't really do much about it since my brother doesn't like changing the password.
I recently logged onto my new fedora 12, 64-bit, system encrypted (all partitions effected by install), selinux enforced install to find myself in tty4 and some "other" users logged on to the other terminals. My folders would have lock icons on them after opening, my notication menu/toolbar crashed and hasn't returned on system reboot, some data transfers between removable storage returned input output errors while others worked fine(?). I also recieved this kernel bug output from the bug reporting tool but I have no idea what it means.
Also I was not loose with the security either I had removed unconfined login types (After setting up the system as I needed) meaning I couldn't even run root or sudo and neither could anyone else (asfar as I was aware). I pretty much increased selinux to its maximum boolean strictness and limited the _default_(Me included) account to a user from a _default_ unconfined (to actually be able to log in with the selinux boolean in place). Meaning they "the exploiters" were able to bypass selinux as a user account? How is that possible and even if you do root logon is disabled by selinux too?
At the moment I'm on a live cd trying to look for a way to custimise them as it seems it may be my only option.
Just a side note you can't just log in to tty4 by default without actively taking up spaces either by other users or your own use. Meaning since the tty login is automated 3 terminals were in use tty1, tty2 and tty3.
Which commands should I run to find out what is being done?
Edit: Just had my F12 x64 live cd taken down twice and had to hard reset as the toolbar disappeared. Took a photo of the last error message. I was just reading a pdf and using firefox at the time.
Is fedora usually this easy to hack?

Security :: New Flaw Enables Null Pointer Exploits?
Jul 18, 2009I refrained from posting this in the Kernel Vulns thread earlier, due to its zero-day status. But now that the issue has been Slashdotted, there's no use in keeping us from publicly discussing this vulnerability. The link to the article (from which I quote below) is here. Brad Spengler's original announcement on the Dailydave mailing list is here.Quote:A researcher has published exploit code for a new vulnerability he discovered in the Linux kernel. The vulnerability is an especially interesting one in that the researcher who discovered it, Brad Spengler, has demonstrated that he can use the weakness to defeat many of the add-on security protections offered by SELinux and AppArmor.

Ubuntu One :: Says A Folder Is Sync'd, But It Isn't Listed?
Aug 21, 2010I did some searching, but haven't found a good solution to this problem I'm having. While there are a lot of issues with syncing between my desktop and netbook (we'll get to them another time), I am really trying to get two folders from my desktop to sync to Ubuntu One. I followed the reinstall steps here a few times and it has almost fixed the problem.
My last issue is that my .mozilla folder won't sync at all. If I right click on it in Nautilus, I get a greyed out "stop syncing with Ubuntu One." I can't stop it and can't start it. If I do u1sdtool --list-folders, then this folder isn't shown. I've tried disconnecting, reconnecting, and a lot in between.My question is, is there a config file or something like that where maybe this .mozilla folder is still set up that I can just delete? Clearly, it thinks it's set up when it isn't and I'm not sure if there's somewhere on the filesystem that can be checked or cleared. One thing I did notice when I was going through the instructions above is that I don't have a .share folder and thus no /local/ubuntuone under that.

Ubuntu :: Changes Listed In Post #5 Inspiron 8000?
Jun 11, 2010I'm trying to make the changes listed in post #5 here to my Inspiron 8000: There's no xorg.conf in Xubuntu 10.04. But I figured out how to create one, and I edited it as suggested. But there's no menu.lst in Xubuntu 10.04 either. That is, the file called "menu.lst" is located in
/usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples
and it has no "defoptions" line. So how can I make the poster's suggested changes (i.e., do something functionally equivalent, assuming that's possible) to my newer system?
Ubuntu :: Lucid - MSN Contacts Not Listed In Empathy?
Jun 30, 2010The title says it all really. I run Empathy, have used it for a while with both Google-chat and MSN protocols. I've been using it for a few months now and suddenly my MSN contacts have all disappeared.
People are able to contact me via MSN, and when their message window pops up I am able to respond. It says they are offline however.
I have tried listing all offline contacts but they still do not appear in the list.
I have tried uninstalling (including config files) and reinstalling but this wasn't successful either. When I reinstalled it still had details of my accounts so clearly the cofig files were not removed properly.
Ubuntu Installation :: Safe Mode Are Listed Twice ?
Jul 2, 2010When I first started to install Ubuntu to my system, I got an error that told me Ubuntu was not successfully installed, so I restarted my computer and tried again. That time it works, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the OS. I noticed that when I start up my computer and I have the OS boot list, Ubuntu and Ubuntu safe mode are listed twice. How do I remove the 2nd one, and is it still installed on my other partition even though it said failed?
