[ubuntu-in] Folder locking and encyption available in ubuntu

2011-05-31 Thread Brian D'Souza
Hi all,

I use Ubuntu 10.4 and a 1 tb ext drive to store my docs, backups, movies
etc.

Got some friends who want to borrow the drive. I do not want them to have
access to the docs and private folders. To the others  let them copy, paste
etc

Ant suggestions on how to go abt it?

Regards,
Brian

[ubuntu-in] Ubuntu 9.10 reaches end-of-life on April 30 2011 (Kate Stewart)

2011-03-29 Thread Brian D'Souza



Ubuntu announced its 9.10 release almost 18 months ago, on October 29,
2009. As with the earlier releases, Ubuntu committed to ongoing security
and critical fixes for a period of 18 months. The support period is now
nearing its end and Ubuntu 9.10 will reach end of life on Friday,
April 29, 2011. At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer
include information or updated packages for Ubuntu 9.10.

The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 9.10 is via Ubuntu 10.04.
Instructions and caveats for the upgrade may be found at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades.  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
continues to be actively supported with security updates and
select high-impact bug fixes. All announcements of official security
updates for Ubuntu releases are sent to the ubuntu-security-announce
mailing list, information about which may be found at
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-security-announce.

Since its launch in October 2004 Ubuntu has become one of the most
highly regarded Linux distributions with millions of users in homes,
schools, businesses and governments around the world. Ubuntu is Open
Source software, costs nothing to download, and users are free to
customise or alter their software in order to meet their needs.

[ubuntu-in] Turbulence ahead: New X stack coming to natty

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


tl;dr:  X is getting a major update this week for natty.  Be careful
when upgrading the next few days.



Thanks everyone who tested xorg-edgers.  Feedback has been positive and
everything looks good to go.

We are currently uploading the dependencies for this new X stack into
Natty, as you may have noticed.  Our goal is to get it all in by
Friday for the Alpha-2 release coming next week.

We have already uploaded various prerequisites and dependencies.  This
includes major updates for libdrm and mesa, which are worth special
mention.  This includes improved OpenGL functionality, Sandy Bridge
support, and a variety of bug fixes.  For full details see
http://mesa3d.org/relnotes-7.10.html.  It also includes some changes to
ABI packaging which may affect other packages dependent on libdrm driver
packages.  Please keep an eye out for regressions in 3D functionality or
packaging issues associated with libdrm or mesa.

A variety of driver updates is also planned for the coming week,
including -intel, -ati, -nouveau, -synaptics, etc.  We're going to try
to get these updates in prior to the xserver update where possible.

xserver 1.10 will be updated probably Wednesday or Thursday.  This
server has a new server and video ABI, which means existing driver
packages will break.

The server needs to be uploaded first so the new drivers build against
the correct ABI, which means that there will be a period where safe
upgrades will have held-back packages.  The dependencies should ensure
that you won't accidentally get a non-working combination of Xserver and
drivers, but be careful if an upgrade wants to remove X packages.

We are also going to be demoting several of the really obscure/ancient X
drivers (apm, ark, chips, glide, i740, tseng, and voodoo; perhaps more)
that no one seems to use.  These will still be in the archive (for now)
but will live only in universe and require manual installation by anyone
that happens to need them.  If you particularly care about any of these
drivers, just let us know.

[ubuntu-in] Setup differences in Ubuntu and arch.

2010-12-21 Thread Brian D'Souza
Hi,

My base system is.an Ubuntu 10.10 system. I also recently installed arch
Linux.

My point is want to know why so much different in setup on the network side
for both Ubuntu and arch
1. In arch /etc/ there is no /network/interfaces file
2. Also to start stop networks there seems to be. Different

My question is whether Ubuntu does a lot of customization or just the
process differs in all distros.

2010-08-22 Thread Brian D'Souza
if you have installed the 64bit version then just use update manager to have
all up to date patches. Not sur why u want to update the iso.

In any case as mentioned in the prev email, this cannot be done.

2010-08-17 Thread Brian D'Souza
The problem is some programs just dont run with 64bit system. I could not
the 32bit internet connecting binary from my 64bit lucid install. Hence had
to fall back on 32 bit.

Also there are many programs just not available in 64 bit.

You have to install 32bit library


If you have 64bit supported hardware then you should ( again should ) go
with 64bit OSs


I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Fedora 13 dual-boot ( both 64bit ) and runs
fine on my Dell Inspiron 1564 core i5 processor, 4Gb DDR RAM , 1GB ATI

Hi,

Please go through the below links to see if any step was missed out. Also
pls check if the drive that you are using to play is also mounted.

or try running via the terminal maybe that should prompt some error. that
would help to understand and help you.
