  1. [ubuntu] Re: Need advice about file sharing server over internet

    Good advice. SSH is a good option, and the PUTTY client will work well with windows. More secure than ftp, as stated.
  2. [ubuntu] Re: Need advice about file sharing server over internet

    There is no easy answer to this, because you are trying to do something complicated.
    1) Agree with the previous poster. FTP is the obvious choice. I use proftpd (in the repos...)

  3. Re: how can i configure GUFW firewall so that i can "see" other pc's on home network?

    On most home networks, you are behind a router, which likely uses NAT (network address translation). This makes it virtually meaningless to even have a firewall, since the network is not visible from...

    Any update that includes a kernel change will likely break proprietary drivers like your nvidia. Try reinstalling it.

    Quite possibly a video/graphics card issue. Will the live cd run OK? If so, you might consider using that to backup your data and do a fresh install....

    [ubuntu] Re: Terminal on login screen

    Reboot and select the previous kernel from the grub menu. If it works, great. If not, post back.

    The OP has discovered the joys of using testing/unstable vs. stable.
    This is an excellent example of how the Debian development model could prevent about half of the posts to the fora here...

    Re: Firewall, CLI, Firestarter

    In fact, for personal use, if you are behind a router, I wouldn't worry about the firewall at all. I have a network of 8-10 boxen behind nothing but a router. No worries.
  12. Re: gedit - comparing two files similtaneously by eye

    In the interest of not making it sound like gedit can't do this...

    Use the "File" menu in gedit. This will allow you to open a file, resize the windows, and open another file in another window.

  14. Re: which mainstream linux OS is most resource freindly

    Good assessment, Anti. This matches my observations of hard drive installs as well. A pure Debian base seems noticeably quicker than any Ubu install I have tried.
  15. [xubuntu] Re: copying files from one external HDD to another

    Try
    gksudo nautilus

    That will give you a gui file manager with root permissions. You can then change permissions to your hearts content.


    Be careful.

    [ubuntu] Re: Is EXT4 safe?

    I'll go one better.

    Ubuntu isn't "stable", either.

    No distro that rebuilds every 6 months can be described as "stable", in development terms.
  17. Re: which mainstream linux OS is most resource freindly

    I suggest downloading a bunch and trying them out. Keep in mind that a live cd will always run slower than a hard drive install.
