you could store the text in a script file - but that's not very secure. Would it be better to generate PGP key on the intended client, forward it to the server so it can trust your connection?

with luck the OP will mark this thread solved and this tedious discussion will stop. I'd rather call it a discussion not an argument. Make whatever swerves or slurs you need - it makes no...
see above note on swap and initramfs vulnerability.
This is not an argument. The point of a discussion is not to win or lose but to learn. That's why I'm here.

encryption is useless unless properly managed.

Misplaced confidence. If only /home is encrypted then your system is in no way secure.

Hi again. didn't slaskie say he had the pass phrase?
Is that the same as the encryption key? I didn't think so. But please explain as I'd like to understand.
this is how my encrypted partition loads at boot - it prompts for passphrase

seems the answer is to remove the package
sudo apt-get remove --purge gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash
would be good to know exactly what processes are consuming cpu time. In a terminal window run the ''top'' program.
i'm sorry to hear that. annoying when it's only one step away from working. I found this site useful before

the information must be out there somewhere.
hmm - mine shows lots of options on the left box - not just nvidia-settings configuration. It has the option 'x-server display configuration' which when clicked, opens up on the right a page...
no, more research is required to find the problem. i suspect trickery on the part of the hardware manufacturer and microsoft.
i'd love to be proved wrong.
others have found that certain new laptops just will not play - i had the problem myself on a new Windows7 laptop at xmas and could only get black screen. Almost like something deliberately blocked...
backup copies can be ignored - I'd remove or rename the xorg.conf
mv xorg.conf xorg.old
and remove all the packages like this
apt-get remove nvidia*
oh dear. never mind. back to package manager. get rid of everything. clear out xorg.conf. install nvidia-185 ONLY again. restart. When you get back to where you were. run nvidia-settings and...
amen.
can we end this thread now? All the time i've been on these forums this is the only thread that keeps resurfacing in my email inbox...
Excellent. so it is working but in a basic configuration.
install the nvidia-settings package and run it.
sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
It has an option to scan the hardware and...
If you haven't restarted then you do need to - the kernel needs to load the correct modules. Also remove reference to nvidia module from your xorg.conf.
There is a package called nvidia-settings...
like I said - use NVIDIA-185 NOT CURRENT. Remove the rest using any package manager - apt-get on the command line is probably your best option at this point.
If 185 doesn't work for you try the...
I'd suggest getting rid of ALL the nvidia current and everything else. Just have the ones that say 185 in the package name.
Even then you might have a screwed up config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf so...
glad you got it sorted. But just to throw a cat among the pigeons - why are you using ext2 filesystems and not ext4 on new partitions?
