Ah. Thank you. I did umount it a couple of times but it kept coming back when I rebooted. I read that it was related to encrypting the home folder so I reinstalled but I did not choose the option...

Dude... As I mentioned I have Privoxy (also playing around with Polipo) between my browser and tor. So is specifying a SOCKS proxy necessary? However, don't bother replying to any of my posts. ...

Well put. Gnome 3 and Unity were killing my productivity. They are fine examples of someone trying to fix something that wasn't broken to begin with. Have you heard of MATE? It's a fork of Gnome...

I installed Xubuntu 11.10 but I keep on getting this annoying bug. Whenever I try to access the home folder I get a popup that says...


Failed to open directory "nethero"

Error starting file...

Yup! I was using Chrome and SwitchSharp to do my "anonymous" browsing. Then I read that section about DNS leakage. I reconfigured Privoxy to use socks4a. Then I switched on Wireshark and used...

Yes, I know that Tor is a SOCKS proxy. My question is broader than that. I'm wondering why there is a SOCKS option in SwitchySharp. Simply put, when does a browser need a SOCKS proxy?

Yes, I was hoping to use an adapter such as this one...

What I want is a dual band atheros card. I think this adapter...

Eek, good point. :D Just added a link.

I'm looking at this card for my desktop. I have a spare minipci slot on my motherboard. What I'm wondering is how to hook up the antennas. There are two MMCX plugs. I've never worked with a...

I wasn't aware this was possible. I thought a web browser required a HTTP proxy in front of a socks proxy. Like Browser->Privoxy->Tor. So you're saying I can do Browser->Socks...

Thanks for the explaination. I was just wondering why ProxySwitch included a SOCKS option to begin with if all a browser uses is HTTP. Based on your description it sounds like a web browser would...

As others have mentioned.... You risk losing your job if you access content over your employers network that is forbidden. Also, even if you set up your computer so that your employer couldn't...

I have installed privoxy using synaptic. When I start my computer and point my browser to privoxy it does not work. I get a error in my browser (both firefox and chrome) that says the proxy is not...

I guess this belongs on the security discussion forum.

I'm trying to configure Privoxy and Tor to work with Chrome. Here is what I've done so far...

I've installed Privoxy using synpatic and...

Still new to permissions. What is the difference between 0700 and 700? Is there one? Also I did try 644 but then my CGI script could not write to the directory. 700 worked fine.

Perfect! Thanks. Like rubylaser said; I like your second example the best, especially since I may have to reuse these files later.

Yes, I'm much further ahead of that. My apache server is configured to run CGI and I know how to run a CGI script etc. etc. The thing is that this new CGI script I've written actually produces a...

Hi there,

I've just started using apache and I've made a few cgi scripts that generate text files and pictures for users to download. The thing is that even though I know how to generate these...

Thank you for the link. I can across that link during my research but I posted my question mostly because I was interested in soliciting opinons from someone who has actually used one of these cards...

Anyone out there have any good recommendations for linux compatible wireless cards. I'm looking for something that can work in the 5 ghz range (my router is dual radio). Since this card is for a...

Okay problem solved. My speaker cable input was the problem, the connection on it was going bad. The cable was bent because of the extra antennas in the new sound card. The old sound card did not...

I compiled anyway and amule seems to work. I never was able to get this issue resolved. One of my friends also has 10.04 and was able to compile the same version of amule without this error. ...

Okay I give up. This card only works when I install linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.35-lucid-generic. However, sometimes when I start or restart my computer the audio doesn't work, I just get...

On a side note I think I see why the upgrade to wireless N did not increase my speed that much. Here is an article by smallnetbuilder that covers the throughput hit that is taken when a 802.11n...

I have a linksys WMP600N card. I'm running 10.04. I removed my old wireless card and inserted the WMP600N into the pci slot and restarted my computer. I have the rt2860sta kernel module insalled...
