Hi Toz. kleenex_service is a simple script placed in /etc/init.d/ directory. Thank you for the link, but it seems, that I've tried almost everything from that HowTo. However, I look one more time at...

Hi. I suggest a BetterPrivacy addon for Firefox and maybe HTTPS-Everywhere. Of course the most important thing: enable AppArmor profile for Firefox, because it is disabled by default. It is very...
Hi. Today on my Xubuntu 12.04.2 in /var/log/boot.log file I've noticed something like this (previously, there was no such information):

Hi, kevdog You are right. A lot of people in these forums don't use shorewall, so the best choice is UFW (GUFW) or iptables. Firewall proposed in my post #5 is pretty good and secure. All incoming...
There is one more method to create a very good firewall for Desktop:
$ sudo touch /etc/init.d/iptables # create a file for rules
$ sudo leafpad /etc/init.d/iptables # edit file with...
Hi Kippers. I also have an nvidia (ge force 7100) graphics card. I did not have anything to do during Xubuntu 12.04 install - no xorg.conf file generate etc. Everything works out-of-the-box.

Hi. Could somebody paste here default Firefox profile created by Jamie Strandboge (Xubuntu 12.04)? Default without any modification. Something is wrong, because in syslog file I'm seeing something...
OK, that's interesting. But I'm still wonder why update-rc.d command showed this. If they are options, it seems that we should see them for example by running update-rc.d --help command etc. Solved....
OK, but my post, was only a suggestion. Decision belongs to engine.

Hi. CharlesA thank you very, very much. What do you think about these services; -n and -f? What is the purpose of these services? Yes, I'm behind a router. I will check security options and settings....
Hi Soul. Thank you for calming me down. But there is still the issue of these two services; -n and -f and closed (always were stealth) 135-139 ports (as I already mentioned, I do not use Samba etc.)....
Hi guys. CharlesA; What output do you mean? Result of the update-rc.d command? OK this issue with port is... pretty strange, because a couple of weeks ago, all ports were identified as stealth. Now,...

Hi. Firstly; today I noticed, that four ports (135-139) are closed instead of stealth. I was doing a test on the grc.com website and check all common ports. That's pretty strange, because I do not...
