| pickcoder | !tell SamWeasley about marillat |
| I-kido | hmm |
| amphi | undesktop: everything is a file ;) |
| undesktop | amphi: I want the filesystem to survive |
| SamWeasley | Okay.... Thanks about marillat |
| _ericb | hi all |
| cusco | hi |
| thorat | 'lo |
| undesktop | and there's no pseudo-file or so which covers all free space |
| _ericb | anyone have a clue how to reconfigure the DSP firefox plugins use for output ? I remember I've been asked a question like "which output firefox should use to output sound" with answer such as oss and also and none or auto.. I would like to reconfigure it because I can't get sound in firefox.. anyone can help ?? |
| karsten | undesktop: ?? |
| pickcoder | undesktop: if security is a problem, then you should be storing sensitive data on a separate partition |
| stoned | _ericb: alsa |
| pickcoder | or using a secure FS <or both..> |
| karsten | undesktop: Ah: dd if=/dev/zero of=<somepath>/shredme; shred <somepath>/shredme |
| stoned | _ericb: you have alsa-oss installed? |
| karsten | undesktop: ... you'll have to do that periodically. |
| undesktop | a secure fs? |
| stoned | !info alsa-oss |
| dpkg | alsa-oss: (ALSA wrapper for OSS applications), section sound, is optional. Version: 1.0.12-1 (sid), Packaged size: 50 kB, Installed size: 168 kB |
| _ericb | stoned well.. I'm not even shure I have alsa.. |
| pickcoder | undesktop: encrypted file system |
| undesktop | karsten: yes, that's what I do now... problem is, it doesn't overwrite partially allocated sectors |
| stoned | _ericb: apt-get install alsa |
| undesktop | that is, a sector which is at the end of a file |
| karsten | undesktop: Alternatively, you can configure yourself a cryptofs. |
| undesktop | and thus contains a small umount of unused data |
| karsten | undesktop: No, not that I'm aware. |
| stoned | _ericb: then configure your sound with alsaconf as root |
| _ericb | stoned ok installing alsa and alsa-oss |
| SamWeasley | I'm updating apt now |
| MmikeDOMA | karsten, its untaring... |
| undesktop | are there any production quality "secure" fs? |
| karsten | undesktop: You could schedule that task via cron, check space, fill it w/ zeros, then wipe/shred the file. undesktop: Several. |
| undesktop | karsten: cron is not such a great idea, because the disk will be full for some time (while shredding) |
| karsten | undesktop: http://encryptionhowto.sourceforge.net/Encryption-HOWTO-4.html |
| undesktop | so this might lead to random failures because other programs can't i.e. write logs |
| karsten | undesktop: There is that little bugaboo, isn't there. |
