To remedy this, simply blacklist the other modules from loading by adding those modules to /etc/modprobe.d/nf like this: # Blacklist rt2800 and rt2x00 modules The module loads, but all attempts to initialize the card result in error messages. Unfortunately, with Both Slackware 13.37 and Ubuntu 10.10, the kernel module fails to bind to the card because the various rt2800 and rt2x00 modules conflict with rt2860sta. The card is indeed supported by the rt2860sta module. The only card in my local shop to read that, although all of them work just fine. Not only will ~30$ get you a/b/g/n support, 300Mbps transfer rates, 2 antennas and a PCIe bus, but it also says “Linux Support” right on the box, and not in some fine print in an obscure corner. If you are on the market for a wireless adapter for your Linux desktop, the best bang for the buck today seems to be the ASUS PCE-N13. The ASUS PCE-N13 is not especially pretty, but its cheap, fast, and officially supported!
#UBUNTU TRUECRYPT ALTERNATIVE INSTALL#
Install Truecrypt after downloading from here:.a binary installation package, and the runlevels will not be in traditional BSD style). Please adjust the partitions, runlevel scripts and installation procedure for your Linux distribution (as an example, for Ubuntu, Truecrypt might be available via Aptitude repositories vs. They have been tested on Slackware64 but will work on all Linux distributions. The steps are generic: they assume you are encrypting a brand new home partition (and not something else), after storing your user data under the /home folder on the root partition. You will need to perform this as the root user, and you will need an empty partition which you can encrypt. This involves installing Truecrypt, creating an encrypted partition, copying all the sensitive data into it, deleting the sensitive data from the unencrypted partition it was previously on, and configuring mounting and umounting of the Truecrypt volume during startup/shutdown. The steps to encrypt a partition with Truecrypt are probably the easiest ones compared to alternatives such as LUKS and other Linux Kernel built in tools. This is important for users with personal or sensitive data on their laptops, as well as other mobile devices such as the Google Nexus 7 when it runs Ubuntu Linux.
We will secure the majority of our personal data by encrypting our home partition.
#UBUNTU TRUECRYPT ALTERNATIVE UPGRADE#
Upgrade via ISO progresses much like the network upgrade. Though, keep in mind that upgrading using packages on the image file only upgrades to the package versions in the official release, not the latest updated versions available on the Ubuntu repository.This post will be short (and sweet).
Continue following the onscreen messages. That will display a dialog prompting you to upgrade using that CD. Once mounted, start the upgrade using this command: sudo /cdrom/cdromupgrade That will mount the ISO image to the cdrom device interface. Once you have the image, mount the ISO image file directly on your Ubuntu system using the following command: sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop PATH/TO/ISO /cdrom Alternate CD ISO image file of any release can be found here. To upgrade from an ISO file, you need the Alternate version CD, NOT the regular Ubuntu Desktop CD. If are on a computer that doesn’t have network access or if you have are on a slow connection, it’s easier and faster to upgrade using a disc or an ISO image file already downloaded.
