So I have an encrypted home directory, set up during install on a server running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I attempted to use screen in order to run a script that accesses the data in my home directory after closing my ssh connection to this server, but ran into errors seemingly stemming from disk access.
When I first installed ubuntu server 10.04 I created my first user 'bonzo'. When I'm logged in as bonzo the permissions on directory /home/bonzo are 755. However when I'm logged in as any other user the permissions on the directory /home/bonzo are 500.
The exception to this is if I'm logged in as bonzo and I type su dummy1 and then follow up with ls -lh /home.
Recently, I installed Ubuntu 12.04. For some reason, i backed-up my home directory contents to another directory(say bkp dir). Precisely, I moved Documents, Pictures, Downloads, etc.. to bkp directory. Now, Deleted all my original home directory contents. I restored all the bkp directory content back to home. I find them all on my Desktop. I believe some kinda chain is broken.
I encrypted my home directory during a 12.10 install on my home server but ive having trouble figuring out the best way to backup my home directory in a cron job.
the cron job is run as root, and im not logged in so my home directory is not decrypted during the cron job.
Is there a way to make this work, either by scripting in the passphrase on the command line (yes im aware its unsecure) wi
Hello,
I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 to 12.04. Im not used to Unity, yet.
The first thing i usually do on a new installation is to clear my home-directory. Deleting all the directories i don't need, including the 'iPod'-directory.
This works brilliant, and when i delete the 'Desktop'-directory, the content of my home-directory is shown on the background.
Hi all, I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my desktop machine and am trying to serve a remote desktop to my netbook. I'm running vnc4server to serve a new X session on port 5901. (So, X session :1)
The first problem I had was that nothing loaded at all, except for a desktop background.
I am running Linux mint and I'm trying to setup up a virtual host with apache.
I have added the following file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ ( it's copied from the 'default' file in that directory)
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName testsite.dev
DocumentRoot /home/chris/Projects/web/testsite
<Directory /home/chris/Projects/w
I'm currently using Kubuntu 10.04 with my home directory encrypted with ecryptfs. My home directory is automatically decrypted when I login without requiring me to enter an additional password for dm-crypt. I really want to be able to switch to OpenSUSE 11.3 but this might be a deal breaker.
I would like to use AIDE to help me verify the integrity of my home directory on a shared Linux system. I am not an administrator of this system. I have built and installed AIDE in my home directory and it seems to work properly.
The sysadmin has set permissions on /home to 0751.
