I keep my multiverse source disabled to prevent myself from accidentally installing software that isn't open source for security reasons, but DeVeDe appears to be under GPL3 license. I understand I...

Oh, no it's not just for wiping data. The reason why I did this is because I encrypted my system with LUKS. If I only wiped with 0s, an attacker would know what parts of my disk have stuff in them,...

This problem is still persistent in 14.10. The dmesg output has changed slightly, but the stated reason hasn't changed.

I have a mostly acceptable solution. I added the TAP interface to a bridge with bridge-utils, and the bridge interface is keeping track of traffic. The TAP interface can be in a bridge by itself. I'm...

I created a VirtualBox virtual machine and configured a service to start it and shut it down with my system. I was networked with the machine with a host-only adapter, but have switched to bridging...

Using data from /dev/urandom is known to be cryptographically secure, but it's slow. I found on http://serverfault.com/a/415962/198839 this alternative to using data from /dev/urandom:

This is different, though. The link you gave shows how to use multiple sinks at the same time, with the built in sinks.

I haven't found a solution to this problem. I actually forgot about the problem as the friend I was setting this up for (this was part of a multiseat setup) was visiting for only a few days, so I...

I've actually forgot about this issue as I haven't used my laptop for a couple of months, but I've tested connecting to a network and spoofing the address on a minimalistic Ubuntu 14.04 Server, and...

Yes, i want them to play two independent streams. I'm not using any kind of adapter, just the chipset on my motherboard. It also is possible to use the two outputs independently in Windows; I don't...

I would like to use my headphone jack and speaker jack as two independent sinks in PulseAudio.

I would like a solution similar to...

Thank you for the response. It really stinks that there's not a failsafe way to do this, though.

My input policy is to drop all traffic unless it's part of an established connection or related to one.

While on a network with iptables set to block all input and output except when it's ICMP or when it's loopback and I was watching xubuntu 14.04's printers window and it was finding like 6 out of the...

Could you explain your snapshot idea? I don't understand how a snapshot mechanism will help me keep a hard drive copy of a filesystem in RAM synchronized.

ah, i thought rsync was just for two different machines.

thank you both!



The image in tmpfs will always be the newest one, as that is the only one i am mounting. The one on the hard drive...

Wow, why wasn't I getting emails for all these replies? whatever... anyway, I got around to testing mac changing with ubuntu server 14.04, where network-manager isn't installed, and yeah, i was...

I am working on a RAM drive setup where I mount a copy of my disk image from inside a tmpfs. I know I should be using tmpfs by itself but I want to save the contents. I want to make a script that...

I created this really complicated setup with Xubuntu 13.10 that routed all my traffic through my VPN and hid everything that identifies the laptop and I recreated the setup on 14.04 but just about...

Well I just figured out I can just do a remount with size option set to whatever size I want because I think initrd is loaded as tmpfs which can use swap space, so problem is solved!

I hope this...

It just hit me with more experimentation that the reason my swap thing with overcommit isn't working for me because the space that the ramdisk uses from the start is the limit, i forgot that linux...

i'm testing all of this in a virtual machine with virtualbox to test if it was anything with the way i was booting it on the laptop since the laptop's disk drive is dying and can't read the entire...

this is even worse, it doesn't even go to the language chooser when using only 128 mb....
