My point is that Linux/Ubuntu is some great, but I've really struggled to get it reliable and consistent for advanced use. It's not only the distribution I'm complaining about, but also all the free...

Since I installed Windows 7, as soon as it came for sale, it has worked flawlessly ever since. Not one bug, not one crash, it's just perfect.

Ubuntu and Xubuntu desktop hasn't. I regularly...

I'm using the alternate install CD and sets up a physical volume for encryption with dm-crypt. I'm encrypting everything except /boot, so you could call it a full system encryption if you like.

Do...

I'm not using a GUI, I'm using the default Ubuntu Server system.

When you start up the computer, and you're prompted with the system encryption password, the characters are echoed back as stars...

If one has system encryption on an Ubuntu Server machine, and you log out, and another person has physical access to the computer, he can press alt+left to see how many characters the system...

It's an Ubuntu Server box, so it's difficult to copy and paste from that box to this one. But Apache2 is running in enforce mode under apparmor, another enforce mode appears in apparmor_status when...

In the most common AppArmor profiles for Apache2, these are allowed:

/bin/bash rmix,
/dev/tty rw,

Why? Because I deleted those two lines from my Apache2 profile, and Apache2 still runs...

This might sound really stupid, so you'll all have to excuse my lacking knowledge. :P

I read that USB attacks get more and more common, like putting in an USB stick with a malicious autorun script...

Are there any open source drivers for Nvidia?

Hi, that's what I'm using! :)

When I set it up, it says dm_crypt (device mapper). It's not TrueCrypt. Though, as in TrueCrypt, you can choose between AES, Serpent and Twofish algorithms.

It's...

It's sad that the repo version (2.5.11-1) has not been updated since the release of 10.4 LTS. :( I mean; this mod is a very important and much used apache2 mod for webserver security!

The problem with the mod_security from the repos is that it's outdated, unmaintained and has a security flaw that is very much serious. I would like to use the repos myself, but not all the packages...

Hi!

I have just installed the latest version of mod_security from source on Ubuntu Server 10.04. And it seems like it went okay while I followed the official installation manual for UNIX.

I know that this thread is some old, but thanks anyway! :)

There's a folder there with a file: /etc/apparmor.d/apache2.d/phpsysinfo

Is that the Apache2 profile?

EDIT

I found the profile in the source:...

usr.sbin.apache2

I already have usr.sbin.mysql, and that's good! :)

I've got two network card interfaces on my computer, one wireless and one wired. The wireless card is connected to the Internet and the wired is connected to the LAN. When only the wireless card is...

Still no Apache2/LAMP apparmor profiles to be found. :(

I would really like to have a complete LAMP profile for Ubuntu Server.

I can't switch to shell with ctrl+alt+F1. The screen gets completely blank and nothing happens - though I can switch back to the GUI by pushing ctrl+alt+F7 again.

I really miss having this option!...

Thank you bodhi!

Sorry for my late responses to this thread!

I would like to use AppArmor to control Apache, PHP and MySQL (the whole LAMP program package) on Ubuntu Server.
Is it possible to...

Are there any good guides on setting up apparmor with Apache out there? Apparmor seems to be installed by default on my box, but setting it up seems a little bit not-straight-forward. :)

Is it really necessary to chroot the LAMP server in Ubuntu? I've heard that it's pretty secure by default. But what do you think?

I can only thank you for all your feedback! If you must have root access to be able to install a key-logger, then this blogger must be a troll or something. Please note that I'm from Windows, and on...

If I install a supported WIFI device on my Ubuntu machine, will the device be ready to use immediately? Or will it still need a comprehensive setup process?

Will Ubuntu, like Windows 7, give you a...

One person claims in a blog that Ubuntu is way less secure than Open SUSE. This is because the Ubuntu's default user account and SUDO shares the same password, unlike Open SUSE with separate default...
