I installed KGPG on Lubuntu 12.10 (it's a GUI frontend for GnuPG).
The first time I ever ran it, I could successfully see the GUI. Hooray!
Then I restarted.

Now, when I try to run it, I can't...

So does that mean Wubi's option to "install to USB drive" just means it's creating a liveUSB?

edit: Okay, I burned an installation disc and used it to do a full install to a USB stick as per C.S....

Thanks, that helps! So it looks like I want a full install. Encrypting the entire OS might be overkill, but we'll see.

The big remaining questions are:

Is the browser data (cookies etc.)...

Okay, I searched all over and found some of my own answers to this, but I still need a little help.

I want to run Ubuntu from a USB drive in a persistent way. So e.g. if I save a file to Home,...

Thanks, that guide worked great except that my sound only works if I ignore their step about setting Preferences>Default Sound Card to CA0106 (my card) instead of PulseAudio. I can use sound in...

Hey all,

I recently upgraded all the way from Dapper to Hardy. Technically, it was a clean install.

So I don't recall ever having done anything special in Dapper for my sound card, and the...

Hi,

I just upgraded from Dapper to Hardy. Big jump, I know - I was holding out precisely because of how much trouble it had been to get my wireless working in the first place. Many of us know how...

I've noticed something else kind of strange (also this is sort of a bump I guess, hope that's okay).

In Firestarter's settings, I tell it to "filter ICMP traffic" and allow both pings and pongs.

Hey all,

I have two NICs (eth0 and eth1), and I am running firewall program Firestarter. I want it to ONLY pay attention to eth0, which is the one connecting to my LAN, and the internet...

Some strange things went down when I tried your advice, though it was helpful.

mii-tool, after setting both parties' ifconfig properly, yielded:

sudo mii-tool
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD...

Hey all,

I have a machine running Hardy, with two ethernet ports, eth0 and eth1.
eth0 goes to the router and is for general LAN/WAN stuff. Works fine.

I want eth1 to go to a little Embedded...

Hey all,

I am trying to make sure that no superfluous networking (listening) services are running on this Ubuntu 8.04 machine. I looked into the inetd.conf file, and it was empty!

This thread:...

Wow, that's much much better.
Hah, thanks! I'll post again if that doesn't work.

For anyone who finds this thread searching and wants where I found it, http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/lsb">here...

Hey all,

I need to install something that wants Linux Standard Base libraries to be on the (Hardy Heron) computer. The thing is, this particular machine, my boss doesn't want hooked up to the...

Thank you so much! I got ntfs-config and commented out the sdc1 line in fstab, and before I could even try mounting it, I noticed it was already right there on the desktop! Now it auto-mounts and...

Here is the output from Rocket's post.

I tried both chown and chmod, and I read that nice tutorial. It really seems like it should work, and when I execute either chown or chmod it takes a bit and shows a zillion files and directories...

Tatty:
That did help a lot with my understanding of superuser/root. Thanks!

Still hoping for some help with the hard drive. Thanks for the help so far, everyone.

smo0th:
Your advice has worked! Thanks for that. But as others have pointed out, it might be a bad idea to be in the root account every time I want to access this hard drive. But your advice yielded...

Update:
I found out (the noob I am) that simply "su" in the terminal changes user to the superuser. Before, I had just known about preceding a command with sudo.
When I do that, and type the...

Hey all,

I'm using Dapper Drake (6.06), and I have an external usb harddrive that isn't mounting.

I do believe it's supposed to auto-mount and show up on the desktop, and that happens just fine...
