Thanks for your attempt to help me.

The final cure I decided to take is to erase and find an OS that better suits my needs.

I did ask for an advice, and not a howto for morons. That's what one usually gets on these fora.

I checked several similar threads, but couldn't have found the answer to my problem.

I've installed 8.04 updates of 09/01/2009, grub update among them. I selected (as far as I recall) to keep the...

It's been a while when I used to use bastille for the last time, but from the messages it seems you haven't configured it properly. There are questions you are supposed to answer in interactive mode...

You've already got my thanks for your excellent post above, but being a hog I am, I'll not miss a chance to ask a pro for some clarifications.

If I understand you well, and if that's a problem with XP, my guess is that you caught a kind of back orifice - encrypted application that made your box into a server. IP address of the site in...

Or, for us lazies


ps auxww | grep WHATEVERYOULOOKFOR

Also


sudo apt-get install pstree

Exactly. No need for anything else apart from Ubuntu for erasing a file.

If one needs to erase a HDD, there is www.dban.org, or, for low-level format erase, the tools provided by respective HDD...

It was actually me misreading the true intent of your message. You are right, iptables won't protect anything unless rules are set.

Cheers.

This is, IMHO, a completely accurate statement. It doesn't imply that the stalker actually used SMTP and doesn't exclude the possibility of IP spoofing, IP anonymizing, or the use of open relays.

Well said.

I didn't want to start a debate, than just to point to what seemed misleading to me.

Huh?

I can't see how else to understand your advice but as misleading.

The above is patently false, assuming one is using a network to send e-mail and not doing something complicated like writing directly to the local spool.[/QUOTE]

The above is patently true, but...

It seems your "/" partition is being mounted with inappropriate option "relatime". Man mount says it's an option to "update inode access times relative to modify or change time".

To determine what...

I'm no expert, by any means, but it seems it's just what's reported - there is an encrypted filesystem on your HDD.

Could you:


your@pc:~$ sudo cat /etc/fstab

and paste the output here?...

Thank you both for your valuable help.

I was upgrading all the way from 7.04 to 8.10.

Many thanks, but I am able to convert flv to sound and that sound plays at his phone. I even managed to produce several video files, but those files never produced sound in his phone. What I'm trying...

Many thanks for the update. I wonder if you could help me regarding conversion of .flv from youtube to my son's sonyericsson w610i on Ubuntu 8.10 (never managed on 8.04 either).

You are probably right, but I'm just following the instructions from the a.m. link. Besides, what is the way I can add required exe file (DOS utility for COMPAQ PC) to freedos image/file/diskette and...

Thank you very much, I meanwhile got another mouse and it works properly. It might be a hardware problem, but I'll try your instructrions during the day and report the results.

Bump.

Please help, the problem makes the system unusable. The mouse is jumping, switching throught the panels, opening windows, shutting down and generally doing all the nasty things.

I guess...
