Google has some really good spam filtration systems. I haven't yet had
anything in this list that wasn't spam get marked as spam - i.e. only the
spam gets put into the spam folder.

Jaunty users also needed (was Re: Call For Testing: Karmic Firefox users)

2010-06-23 Thread Ara Pulido

On 17/06/10 13:40, Ara Pulido wrote:
 We need Karmic users to test our latest Firefox Upgrade!

Jaunty packages are now available in the PPA and in the tracker [1].
Please, check the testing instructions at the wiki:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Firefox3.6.4Upgrade

Please, take into account that as the developers are fixing the issues
found, the packages in the PPA get updated. Please continue testing also
Firefox 3.6.4 on Hardy and Karmic as well.

Thanks!
Ara.

[1] http://mozilla.qa.ubuntu.com/

 
 *Background*
 As I wrote in a previous email[1], Firefox 3.0 and xulrunner 1.9 are now
 unsupported by Mozilla. We are going to release Firefox 3.6.4 as a minor
 update to the 3.6 series in Lucid. This will also be rolled out to
 Hardy, Jaunty and Karmic (along with xulrunner 1.9.2.4). The update for
 Lucid is quite trivial, but the update in Hardy, Jaunty and Karmic is
 not quite as simple. As part of the upgrade, we are also releasing a set
 of langpacks.
 
 Before releasing these updates to the public, we need testing in
 Firefox, the extensions in the archive and distributions upgrades after
 those updates. We have published all these packages in a PPA [2] and we
 will track test results before moving anything to the archive. If you
 are using Firefox localised in your local language, please, make sure
 that the langpacks didn't break Firefox and that the translations are OK.
 
 We now need people running *Karmic* (Jaunty will see a similar call for
 testing in the following days) in bare metal or a virtual machine. If
 you are willing to help, you can follow the instructions below:
 
  1. Add the Mozilla Security PPA to your software sources
 
  You need to manually edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and add the
 following lines:
 
  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa/ubuntu karmic
 main
  deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa/ubuntu
 karmic main
 
  After saving the file, you have to run:
 
  sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 7EBC211F
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
 
  2. You have to have an account in our tracking system. Go to
 http://mozilla.qa.ubuntu.com and click on Log In and Create New Account
 
  3. To know what to test and how to report back, please, read our
 instructions in our testing wiki:
 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Firefox3.6.4Upgrade
 
 Also, we have added a new testcase XulRunner Applications aiming to
 test that the applications using xulrunner keep working correctly after
 the update. These applications need to be tested both in Hardy and
 Karmic. A list of these applications can be found in the wiki:
 
 
 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Lucid/FirefoxNewSupportModel/xulrunner-list
 
 Thanks!
 Ara.

[ubuntu-x] Intel chipset tags and summary

2010-06-23 Thread Geir Ove Myhr

Gordon Jin from Intel went through quite a few bug reports upstream
yesterday and changed i from the chipset names, e.g. form [i855GM] to
[855GM]. I asked him about this and it seems it makes sense for us to
use this type of names in the bug summaries from now. This could be a
good opportunity to harmonize the chipset/CPU in the summary with the
tag names on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Tagging#-intel%20driver .

Note that they use i915 and i965 for bugs in those 3D drivers, but the
bug reports we forward will typically only be experienced by a single
reporter, so we will usually include only the chipset/CPU name in the
title.

See Gordon's message below.

Subject: RE: Chipset tags in bug reports

[1] looks fine.
We generally used chipset names, but don't need i or 82. Both
855GM and 855 are acceptable.
With intel graphics moving from chipset into cpu, we are starting to
use cpu names like Arrandale, Clarkdale, Pineview, and it's also
fine to use GMA product name like GMA HD, GMA 3150.
In some cases (mostly for 3d bugs), we use i915 (for 965) and
i965 (for =965) to distinguish the 2 DRI drivers.

I see you changed a lot of the chipset names in the bug titles
recently to remove the i from [i855GM], [i845G], [i855], etc. We would
like to use the same titles in Ubuntu bug reports for compatibility
and easier upstreaming. We already use tags that are more or less
captured from the (II) Chipset: line in Xorg.0.log [1]. Do you have a
list of chipset names on the form want them upstream, so I can get
that implemented in our launchpad bug reports [2]?

 @Saikiran: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/aircrack-ng - so its very
 much on topic.
 
 Ubuntu being a distro will have packages that will meet all sort of
 needs, its the intention that matters. A package doesn't necessarily
 mean a discussion is legit. And I am guilty along with a few others of
 jumping to assumptions on the intent.
 
 Now lets pl put an end to this offtrack discussion and hope the Op makes
 his intention clear.
 
The discussion is valid and is on topic as the packages related to cracking WEP
keys is present in ubuntu and there are number of Ubuntu forum threads that
discuss up on it.

Hi,

How long you have been using Linux ?

To start with Linux programming you will have to have a good understanding
how things are working in Linux.
Also you must be familiar with Linux commands and shell scripting. Yes, I
think you can start with learning shell scripting .It will help you to a
great extend. Python is another easy to learn, of course, a powerful
language to start with.

To start with Shell try http://linuxcommand.org/
http://linuxcommand.org/and for python http://docs.python.org/tutorial/

[ubuntu-in] Reply to installing ubuntu (sandeep kumar)

2010-06-23 Thread Sk. Hasanujjaman

Your laptop is quite good enough to run ubuntu 10.4.I think Ubuntu has not
been installed properly.Did you run the the live CD?How did it work?My
suggestion is to install ubuntu using pendrive.To do so
use.
Download a software named *UniversalUsbInstaller* from *
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ *.It is
an .exe file.So run it in Windows.Before that you need iso image of ubuntu
live CD.I suggest to make the iso image in different machine because I
cannot rely on your laptop's CD drive.Then in Windows, follow the easy steps
of *UniversalUsbInstaller* to make your pendrive bootable for ubuntu.
Finally boot your laptop from pendrive and install as it is.*

[Ubuntu-QC] Guide pour sécuriser une serveur Ubunt u 10.04 LTS

2010-06-23 Thread Etienne Savard

Bonjour,

Je voudrais monter un serveur pour mon employeur pour lui démontrer qu'il
est possible de sécuriser une installation d'Ubuntu 10.04 serveur.

Ce que j'aimerai :


   1. Encrypter l'information sur les disques durs (code source,
   documentation, wiki, etc.) pour s'assurer que celle-ci n'est pas accessible
   en cas de vol.
   2. Backup automatique (et encrypter) sur le cloud (soit sur Amazon S3
   ou ailleurs) pour ne pas tout perdre en cas de catastrophe (incendie,
   inondation, etc.)
   3. Tout ce qui peut éviter que le serveur soit facilement hackable
   (présentement, le LAN est derrière un firewall (router) mais j'aimerai
   pouvoir y accéder par SSH de l'extérieur)


Si il y avait un guide ou bien une genre de checklist des opérations à
faire pour bien sécuriser un serveur Ubuntu, j'apprécierai beaucoup.

Merci!

Étienne.

LVM/LUKS ou ecryptfs? Les deux ont différentes raisons d'être plus ou
moins utile... LVM/LUKS requiet l'entrée d'un mot de passe au démarrage,
alors que ecryptfs chiffre un répertoire d'usagé et doit être ouvert
avant l'utilisation...

Dans la majorité des cas d'entreprises normales, l'encryption du
disque n'est pas si nécessaire. Vaut mieux, à mon avis, investir dans un
centre de données bien équipé et bien sécurisé.

  1. Backup automatique (et encrypter) sur le cloud (soit sur

Backup sur le cloud? À mon avis il serait plus simple de faire des
sauvegardes sur cassettes, puis les envoyer à un fournisseur de
solutions de sécurité de documents; comme DocuDépot, à Verdun.

Pour ce qui est de la sécurisation:

- Utiliser bastille: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BastilleLinux
- Générer des règles nécessaires pour iptables et apparmor.
- etc.

Pour SSH, tu peux monter un serveur de VPN pour n'avoir qu'un accès à

2010-06-23 Thread Etienne Savard

Merci Mathieu,

Je ne connaissais pas le guide de la NSA, c'est assez complet. Je vais
regarder Bastille aussi.

La problématique c'est que nous louons un local dans une école, donc
facilement accessible et avec beaucoup de va et viens. Le le serveur sera
dans nos bureaux. Il y a une caméra de surveillance et des gardiens mais
pas de bergers allemands! ;)

Pour ce qui est des backups sur le cloud, c'est parce que je trouve que
c'est relativement peu coûteux et que nous n'avons pas besoin d'acheter du
matériel supplémentaire (tapes + tape backup). Je sais que c'est un peu
artisanal mais nous sommes une startup avec des moyens limités! :)

Bonjour,

Je voudrais monter un serveur pour mon employeur pour lui démontrer
qu'il est possible de sécuriser une installation d'Ubuntu 10.04
serveur.

Ce que j'aimerai :

1. Encrypter l'information sur les disques durs (code source,
documentation, wiki, etc.) pour s'assurer que celle-ci n'est
pas accessible en cas de vol.

LVM/LUKS ou ecryptfs? Les deux ont différentes raisons d'être plus ou
moins utile... LVM/LUKS requiet l'entrée d'un mot de passe au démarrage,
alors que ecryptfs chiffre un répertoire d'usagé et doit être ouvert
avant l'utilisation...

Dans la majorité des cas d'entreprises normales, l'encryption du
disque n'est pas si nécessaire. Vaut mieux, à mon avis, investir dans un
centre de données bien équipé et bien sécurisé.

1. Backup automatique (et encrypter) sur le cloud (soit sur
Amazon S3 ou ailleurs) pour ne pas tout perdre en cas de
catastrophe (incendie, inondation, etc.)
2. Tout ce qui peut éviter que le serveur soit facilement
hackable (présentement, le LAN est derrière un firewall
(router) mais j'aimerai pouvoir y accéder par SSH de
l'extérieur)

Backup sur le cloud? À mon avis il serait plus simple de faire des
sauvegardes sur cassettes, puis les envoyer à un fournisseur de
solutions de sécurité de documents; comme DocuDépot, à Verdun.

Pour ce qui est de la sécurisation:

- Utiliser bastille: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BastilleLinux
- Générer des règles nécessaires pour iptables et apparmor.
- etc.

Pour SSH, tu peux monter un serveur de VPN pour n'avoir qu'un accès à
ouvrir pour le VPN afin d'avoir accès à tout le réseau, ou alors ouvrir
chacune des machines avec une IP publique sur le net (moins recommandé),

[ubuntu-uk] WinXP to Ubuntu upgrade

2010-06-23 Thread Andrew Bryant

A friend has an XP system that no longer boots, and is quite excited at 
the thought of installing Ubuntu.

Ubuntu running from CD-ROM can mount the XP hard drive, and so far as we 
can tell most of the filesystem is OK.

In order to transfer Outlock Express data (both the emails and the 
address list) do we need to get the windows system repaired first, or 
can we copy the relevant folders across and work some magic in Ubuntu?

(The info I've found online about changing from OE to 
Thunderbird/Evolution assumes the XP system is still working.)

You should be able to import the data files into Thunderbird if you can get
them out of the Windows file system. The files should be in drive:\Documents
and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Mail should
be in the .pst file or files and address books in the .pab and .oab files.

When you install Ubuntu it should hopefully pickup the Windows 
installation and give you the option to import settings and e-mails from 
your old Windows XP profile.  In the past I've done it with Vista and it 
imported Firefox, IE and Thunderbird items, I would have thought it 
would also import Outlook Express data too.

If in doubt, make a backup of the Documents and Settings folder from the 
XP partition, if it goes wrong you should be able to restore it from the 
backup.

Then I guess give it a try installing.  You may need to run a fix on the 
drive first if the XP partiton is labelled as not being clean, ntfsfix 
should be able to do this.

When you install, resize the XP partition (don't delete it!) and install 
Ubuntu and hopefully it should resize the XP partition, install Ubuntu 
and then import any documents and settings from Windows.

Hope this helps.

Rob

An excellent opening gambit!

 Ubuntu running from CD-ROM can mount the XP hard drive, and so far as we
 can tell most of the filesystem is OK.


First thing I'd do is image it using something like clonezilla, onto a
USB or network attached disk.

 In order to transfer Outlock Express data (both the emails and the
 address list) do we need to get the windows system repaired first, or
 can we copy the relevant folders across and work some magic in Ubuntu?


Personally once the above step is done I'd wipe, install Ubuntu and
then install virtualbox, and clonezilla the backup of XP into a
virtual disk.

You can then cherry pick the bits you need out of the VM, and keep it
until you're happy you have everything.

Cheers,
Al.

IIRC when trying to import mail from Outlook to Thunderbird, you needed 
a working Outlook as the mail file is proprietary to MS and Thunderbird 
basically used API calls to outlook to extract the data (please note 
however that recently Microsoft have opened up information on the file 
structure so this might change in the future).

I am not sure if this is the same for Outlook Express.

If you can Windows to boot, install Thunderbird on Windows first, import 
the mail data, then copy the Thunderbird profile over to Ubuntu.

 Just to add to the comments, I believe OE Files are actually .IDX files and
are found in C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{GUID}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

Again not sure how well it imports them, pretty sure Thunderbird can handle
them but not 100%

If all else fails it is possible to copy the data files from an existing 
Outlook Express installation to another PC.  You'll loose the server 
settings but things like the Inbox, Sent Items etc should be intact. 
Same goes for Windows Mail on Vista.

I've done this loads of times, TBird usually imports 100% accurately, 
the fiddly bit is transferring a profile from TBird to Evolution (if you 
should feel the need).


If your XP partition is still mountable, line of least resistance is 
probably to do the  installation from the live CD and import your 
Outlook Express automatically as part of the process. If that doesn't 
work, I suspect TBird will happily import the addressbook and mails 
separately just from their files.  Tools - import

Thanks all of you for the rapid response.  I had forgotten that I could 
re-partition the hdd to create space for Linux without wiping the XP 
installation; and I don't think I ever realised you could import from 
the Microsoft email folders, without needing to export from the Outlook 
application.

I think this evening will be spent playing with my USB hdd and 
clonezilla, just to make sure I know what's going on.

[ubuntu-uk] Running daemon at startup as another user

2010-06-23 Thread Rob Beard

Hi folks,

I'm trying to setup Shoutcast on a VPS server for a mate of mine as a 
favour.  The VPS server is running Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64.

Now I gather from reading up, it is recommended that the shoutcast 
daemon is run as a user rather than root (presumably for security purposes).

The thing is, I can't figure out how to do it.  At first I thought of 
creating an init script, but presumably it'll run as root?

I also thought about cron, but I guess that would require me to enter a 
start time (so if the server goes down say in the middle of the day then 
it'll have to wait until the start time in the crontab?)

So I wondered if there was any way of running the shoutcast daemon as 
another user basically from when the machine boots?

Write an init script that uses sudo or su to run the shoutcast daemon
as another user?

You shouldn't need to enter a password if you run su as root, IIRC.

You can set the user and group in the security stanza of the configuration
file. You can then launch it from an init script and it should run as the
user.

Running it from cron is also valid, but you run a script every minute (or
whatever interval you want) that checks for the pid file or running process
and restarts the server if it can't find one or the other.

Icecast is better documented and more actively supported than shoutcast on
Linux - the old shoutcast documentation doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Thanks Simon and Neil,

I've used Icecast in the past, seems much better than Shoutcast as far 
as documentation goes.  I'm not sure why he specifically needs Shoutcast.

I don't suppose you know if Icecast is compatible with Shoutcast is it? 
  (I mean for streaming to the server, at the moment I'm using Winamp 
with the Shoutcast DSP plugin to send the audio to the server and then 
the Gnome Movie Player app to play the stream).

  You can set the user and group in the security stanza of the
  configuration file. You can then launch it from an init script and it
  should run as the user.
 
  Running it from cron is also valid, but you run a script every minute
  (or whatever interval you want) that checks for the pid file or running
  process and restarts the server if it can't find one or the other.
 
  Icecast is better documented and more actively supported than shoutcast
  on Linux - the old shoutcast documentation doesn't seem to exist anymore.

 Thanks Simon and Neil,

 I've used Icecast in the past, seems much better than Shoutcast as far
 as documentation goes.  I'm not sure why he specifically needs Shoutcast.

 I don't suppose you know if Icecast is compatible with Shoutcast is it?
  (I mean for streaming to the server, at the moment I'm using Winamp
 with the Shoutcast DSP plugin to send the audio to the server and then
 the Gnome Movie Player app to play the stream).


Icecast is the same code as shoutcast but open source. I'm not sure if it
supports mp3 out of the box with Ubuntu but it does eventually (I haven't
used it for years to be honest).

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Running daemon at startup as another user

You can specify @reboot instead of the time and date settings in
crontab, which is probably the most straightforward way of doing this

 So I wondered if there was any way of running the shoutcast daemon as
 another user basically from when the machine boots?

Alternatively, you can make /etc/rc.local executable (sudo chmod +x
/etc/rc.local) and then add *before the exit 0 line* « sudo -u
username command » -- the crontab method seems neater to me though.

The only issue you might get with the crontab version is if it runs
before the network is initialised and shoutcast expects an interface
to be there. You shouldn't have this problem with rc.local because it
won't run until after all the other init scripts, but it's probably
worth just trying the crontab method first.

Vinux 3.0 USB and DVD Editions!

2010-06-23 Thread Anthony Sales

On behalf of the Vinux Development Team I am happy to announce that final 
versions of the USB and DVD Editions of Vinux 3.0 are now available for 
download from the website: http://vinux.org.uk/downloads - There are three 
different versions of the USB Edition available - Two of these are simply 
images of an installed USB Vinux system which can easily be copied to a USB 
pendrive of an equal or greater size using the 'dd' command in Linux. The third 
version is a 'Universal' Edition which can be installed to any USB pendrive of 
1GB or greater on Linux or Windows. Full instructions are available inside the 
zip file for Windows users. The DVD Edition is simply the standard version of 
Vinux 3.0 with all of the optional EasyInstall packages installed by default 
along with a few bonus packages. Please note that the DVD version contain 
proprietary multi-media codecs and some applications that are only accessible 
with magnification, but not with a screen-reader. This version is perhaps 
suitable for VI users who have sighted family members and would like an OS that 
all of the family can use. There are some direct download links below:

Vinux 3.0 DVD http://sina.fi.ncsu.edu/Vinux-3.0-DVD.iso

Re: Tips?: hardware... media playback device

2010-06-23 Thread David

Thanks very much each of you for your comments. Basil, I learned a bit
from my father about (serious audiophile) hi-fi, who was messing about
with amps and speakers all the time and was pretty fussy with acoustics
in the home when I was a teenager (a mattress up against the window for
the arvo?!?). My current home environment doesn't let me be as fussy as
he, though, so I accept a compromise or two.

I like FLAC, coz, as far as I can tell, it's a non-lossy compressed
format, though I have quite a few high bit-rate mp3s too. Andre, I've
converted quite a lot of my CDs to FLAC etc and having them on a hard
disk just takes up less physical space (I can put the CDs away somewhere
less accessible). I like having a FLAC back-up of certain CDs too coz I
know it'd be hard to buy them again (out of print). Thanks for the
tips, Andre - that page of links for FLAC is useful. The Olive Symphony
has me curious, but I couldn't find an Australian website mentioning it. 

Thanks very much for the info about streaming around the home from
playback on the computer - that's all a new world to me and I could
check that out. My initial hope was for some device which I can park
next to the hi-fi system, connected up to my receiver's input, a device
that either has its own hard drive or controls the files fed into it
from a generic external hard drive - a device that lets me navigate
through the hard disk's folders, maybe access playlists, through a basic
display on its body.

I figure the audio output quality from a (volume-regulated) headphone
socket on an iPod or other thing such as netbook must be poorer than
from a conventional line-out socket on units like CD players.

FYI, my amp is a Harmon/Kardon HK3250 receiver, bought in the late 90s.
It has several auxiliary input jacks, some labelled for convenience sake
as VCR1 and VCR2. Input impedance for CD, video etc is given as 150mV.
It has pre-amp output RCA sockets on it too. David Fawcett, I don't know
what 24-bit S/PDIF outputs are.

Thanks Callan, for all the suggestions - I assume the Squeezebox needs
the computer running (serving the music). Sounds interesting. Matthew,
what's a duet and a boom?

Cheers,

David

 I, and many others use a Squeezebox (http://www.mysqueezebox.com/)
 I have a duet and a boom.  It supports FLAC.
 
 You can download the gpl squeezeboxserver software and have a look at
 it without buying any hardware. http://www.mysqueezebox.com/download
 You can even download it standard Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora package managers.
 
 The squeezebox hardware value add over a simple computer is their
 choice of quality* components.

 exemplified by people who buy monster audio cables or buy a cd
 player for 20 times the amount without a audible difference.

If you do decide to go with Network Manager, there should be clear
documentation informing users that this can cause major problems with
x-runs.  Thankfully, it requires only two clicks of the mouse to disable
networking via the notification bar applet, which will neutralize the
problem.  Of course, this doesn't matter if you don't know about it.

By the way, does anyone know why it is that Network Manager messes with
sound so much?  On my set-up, I get an x-run every few seconds unless
Network Manager is disabled.

[Tradutores-Ubuntu] Erro en dpkg ao instalar paque tes non confiábeis

2010-06-23 Thread Fran Diéguez

Ola rapaces,

topei un erro grave sobre todo para usuarios avanzados.

Cando queres instalar un paquete deb desde un repositorio que no é
fiábel por mor de non ter a chave gpg correspondente instalada salta
unha mensaxe tal que:

Os paquetes non fiables poden comprometer a seguridade do seu sistema.
Só debería continuar coa instalación se está seguro de que é o que quere
facer.

  blablabbla

Quere ignorar este aviso e continuar igualmente?
para continuar, introduza «Si»; para interromper, introduza «Non»: 

O problema é que o «Si» e o «Non» se os escribes así non funcionan e
terías que escribir yes ou no segundo sexa.

Non sei quen traduciu isto pero que o teña en conta.
Saúdos

[Ubuntu-BR] Videoaula de programação para inic iantes, com o Lazarus

2010-06-23 Thread Fa


Oi


Um amigo me mandou e acho que pode ajudar quem quer aprender a programar  :)


Videoaula de programação para iniciantes, com o Lazarus
http://www.guiadohardware.net/noticias/2010-06/videoaula-programacao.html


O Lazarus é open source e aberto, as atualizações são gratuitas e tem
muitos colaboradores. É multiplataforma e o mesmo código fonte pode ser
compilado para Windows de 32 ou 64-bit, Linux com GTK ou Qt, Mac OS, e
em outros sistemas e arquiteturas menos conhecidos.

Entretanto, as apps criadas podem ter qualquer licença, inclusive
comerciais ou fechadas.

http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/

O Lazarus está nos repositórios das principais distribuições Linux, mas
como devem ser instalado também o fpc e, em alguns casos, outros
pacotes, pode ser meio complicadinho dependendo do sistema.

O texto inclui uma videoaula para iniciantes (mesmo) em programação com
quase 2 horas.

E o que acontece quando você usa o aptitude dist-upgrade? Tentou ler
com calma o que ele escreve na tela e tentar executar as instruções?
Às vezes o que nos falta é ler com calma (quando lemos rápido,
passamos direto por coisas que parecem óbvias mas são informações
essenciais).
