Ah yes sorry you're right it is Mint's backup program.

The "Backup Tools" utility that comes with Ubuntu (at least back in 12.04) has a feature that will backup a list of installed packages.

The utility requires root access and defaults to saving this...

I have an SSH server that I have taken the usual steps to harden:

1. Password logins are off.
2. Root logins are off
3. Port is non-standard
4. Fail2Ban is running

My logwatch recently has...

My aim was to also have the local versions encrypted. Ideally I would like the directories not to be decrypted automatically when I login, but to have to take some extra action to decrypt them, and...

I have a directory with sensitive records in it that lives in my home directory.

I'd like to back it up to another computer I own that lives in a different physical location.

For non-sensitive...

Turns out Intel also has a boot-disk for updating firmware.

On the first boot there were many error messages and my drive was not detected at all.

On the second boot there were again many error...

It's an older (4 years or so) Intel drive. I found a diagnostic tool on Intel's website here

but it looks like it runs from within a...

If I go into my BIOS, all of my 3 hard drives are detected.

However if I load the Ubuntu 14.04 Live disk, one of the three drives (it happens to be a SSD) does not show up.

If I run GParted...

That's the dialog I have been trying to use, but there is no longer the option to choose 1600x1200 resolution.

I have two identical monitors connected to a Radeon HD6450, one through a DVI output and one through a DPI-DVI output. They used to both run in 1600x1200 resolution.

The other day I boot up my...

Under Global hotkeys/Kwin there are listings for "Move Window Up" and Down, Left, Right. I don't think these work for me--nothing happens when I use the hotkey. Are they supposed to send the current...

Replacing the command with /usr/bin/compiz-decorator didn't help.

The replace suggestion is a decent workaround--I will just bind a key to that command and then run it as needed.

I have been using Ubuntu 11.04 for a while now and I am surprised this hasn't been fixed in any of the updates.

The problem, simply put, is that the compiz window decorator plugin crashes. Very...

This problem started happening after I changed routers from a 2WIRE to a Medialink.

I want to ssh to my desktop, standard port 22.

The desktop is set to update a dyndns domain name.

Has anyone else had erratic behavior with this motherboard and found a way to fix it? I run 10.04 and I get a variety of strange results when I try to suspend or hibernate. Upon resume sometimes I...

New updates in the past few days and this didn't change. Any ideas on a workaround?

I also have this problem for Deluge. Anybody?

I have this same problem: I used to auto-open pdfs in evince. Since updating, they now open in google's internal reader. If I turn off the google pdf viewer plugin (about:plugins) then the option to...

I have a directory where I keep a bunch of files that I like to keep synced with dropbox. So I have setup a symlink for that directory in the dropbox folder. However the directory is getting large,...

Thanks timgood, your .deb worked for me.

Is there a google calendar provider that works for the new version?

Edit: Oh, nevermind, the official one seems to work fine:

I think it was due to the symptoms being spotty to begin with...so a solution that looked like a solution wasn't really.

In any case using Google's DNS server works great, thanks!

Well it worked for a while--then suddenly returned to the old behavior. Hmm...:confused:

I have the same router and your solution worked for me. Thanks! Remember to restart polipo (say if you have Tor installed):


sudo service polipo restart

The java enabling/disabling seems like kind of a pain (at least for someone like me who needs to consult mathematica help constantly).

Is the performance increase from just changing the libraries...

When I try to delete a file in Nautilus I get prompted that
"Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?"

This behavior makes...
