Thanks Lars Noodén. I do have ufw enabled. I did some reading and the default is to deny incoming connections so then ports 80 and 443 would be covered. That is what I assume.
I do not need to...
Thanks for all the replies! The Wordpress installation walkthroughs I found all set it up with localhost. I can't block all incoming connections to 80 and 443 because then I'd block all web browsing...
I would like to learn Wordpress for building websites. LAMP installs Apache, Mysql and php servers. Is this safe to use from a home computer? I won't be hosting websites at home, only building them.
Tablets and Chromebooks run from internal SSDs, are you running Raring off of one too?
Well, I just went with aes-xts-plain since it's the newest version of aes. Can't go wrong with that I guess.
I am encrypting a partition on an external drive I take to work. I read a little on encryption but have some questions about which cipher options to use.
Where can I find the available ciphers...
purged, reinstalled, fixed
I found that all my html mail is now corrupted and mostly unreadable. Plaintext mail is ok and this is all mail which was fine yesterday. I saw that right clicking on a folder and going to Properties...
I'm not doing anything particular where I would need reject over drop. I only say that because I found two links on the forum here which explain why reject would be the better choice. ICMP drop still...
What is the better of the two?
iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP
or
gedit /etc/ufw/before.rules
-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j...
What am I looking for as a result of blocking one port or another? I already have full internet access and connecting to new wifi routers and receiving an ip address is no problem.
If I'm...
I didn't know I was blocking ports 67-68 out with ufw. These are the ports for dhcp but I had no connection problems with internet. If I open them up, what will this do? I don't need new ip addresses...
Thanks kleenex. That sums things up nicely.
I noticed that someone above said it works in sysctl, so I can add kernel.dmesg_restrict = 1 to sysctl.conf.
Would that be better than putting the tee command in rc.local?
Does the sudo tee command above make sure this is enabled on reboots?
Thanks vasa1, I made a desktop file out of what you said and that works fine.
Yeah I just noticed that my switch is gone after Chrome updated. If I copy the google-chrome.desktop into the folder you mention, I try to launch it and it says Untrusted Application and then nothing...
Thanks for the links guys.
From what I gather so far Virtualbox PUEL will be my best option. It seems the most polished for wide range of desktop use. KVM seems more like something you runa mail...
I want full internet access and preferably USB printing too so I know I need to use the Vbox from Oracle directly and not the Ubuntu repos.
But what difference in performance would I see between...
I have that installed. Still, neither work though. Is searching through the shell even supported natively? RIght now I have gnome search tool and that works, but I'd like to do it through the shell...
Ohhh ok, I was just changing the desktop file in Chrome's /opt folders. Now that I modified the one in /usr/share/applications, it works fine. Thanks alot!
How do we add these? In chromium it was so easy with a file to edit in /etc/chromium-browser/Default but Chrome doesn't have a way.
I added my flag to the .desktop file but it wasn't applied. Is...
How is Tracker supposed to work? I installed the metapackage and the GUI to set it up, then the Tracker extension but I can't search for files in the overview. Nothing comes up. I'm using Gnome 3.6.2...
I just installed Xubuntu Quantal into a laptop with a 2nd gen Sandy Bridge processor, Intel graphics. I was using the i915 lines in Grub but are they still necessary with the newer kernel? I don't...
