Any suggestions on antivirus/malware detection sw for Ubuntu? Been running my PC for ages without but now I think it might be a good thing in order to protect other people.
hateball 2017-01-25 19:55:48
!virus | elias_a

elias_a: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using Samba). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus
elias_a 2017-01-25 19:58:06
hateball: Well, as I said, I think I need to protect other people. Scanning email would be a good thing for instance.
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 19:59:03
elias_a, in my experience: enable firewall, adblockers adn default java/flash to off. run rootkithunter once in a while. tell browswer to flush each session and save nothing. YMMV
elias_a 2017-01-25 19:59:49
hateball: And limiting the risk to recipicients running Windows is not enough as there are also Android viruses and exploits out there.
elias_a 2017-01-25 20:00:29
cfhowlett: How do you make sure you are not passing on viruses via email, then?
hateball 2017-01-25 20:00:55
elias_a: So read up on the options then
elias_a 2017-01-25 20:01:08
hateball: Will do.
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 20:01:13
elias_a, never has happened yet but on my email client- thunderbird, I have my settings set pretty high on the security side.

Hello
neeedhelpplz 2017-01-25 20:19:45
can anyone help me with a problem I am having please?
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 20:19:54
!ask neeedhelpplz
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 20:20:02
!ask | neeedhelpplz
ubottu 2017-01-25 20:20:02
neeedhelpplz: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience

ok I had win10 on a hardrive and ubuntu on a secondary. I formatted the hard drive containing ubuntu, now when I turn on my computer it boots into grub recovery. How do I remove this?
Wumbel 2017-01-25 20:21:51
Set the first boot device to windows boot
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 20:22:00
neeedhelpplz, this ^^^
neeedhelpplz 2017-01-25 20:22:27
I have tried that as I was using windows as my primary OS and have not touched the boot order
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 20:23:06
neeedhelpplz, there should be a windows 10 tool to fix the bootloader
neeedhelpplz 2017-01-25 20:23:17
so now if I want to enter into windows I have to select the boot device before grub starts
Ben64 2017-01-25 20:23:37
does it boot when you select the right device?
neeedhelpplz 2017-01-25 20:23:57
yes it boots straight into windows no problem if I select it
Wumbel 2017-01-25 20:24:06
make it permanent
Ben64 2017-01-25 20:24:06
then change it in the bios, and you're done
dev__ 2017-01-25 20:24:35
You can install the windows bootloader from win installation disc
neeedhelpplz 2017-01-25 20:24:49
my bios is a little weird it does not show me the name of the boot devices, it shows UEFI hard disc
dev__ 2017-01-25 20:24:54
Shift+F10, loads cmd
neeedhelpplz 2017-01-25 20:26:42
let me have a go again and see what I can do thanks
dev__ 2017-01-25 20:26:42

Hi. How long will it take before Chromium 55 will be added to Ubuntu Trusty repositories?
CoderEurope 2017-01-25 20:30:09
dunno
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 20:30:24
ilyaigpetrov, no way for us to know for sure so ... "when it's ready".
ilyaigpetrov 2017-01-25 20:30:52
Chrome 55 was released so long ago, more than a month ago I think
WormFood 2017-01-25 20:33:59
lotuspsychje, It's working now. It wasn't updating packages, for some reason, but changing the repo fixed that.

Good morning! I have a 20GB Partition with my encrypted $User folder. Is there any chance to get the data from inside? I have my passphrase. But as I have used ecryptfs-recover-private I had only a readme file and a Access your private desktop file. But the size of the encrypted folder is about 16GB of the 20GB available.
karstenk 2017-01-25 20:37:44
origin that partition was mounted as /home
