--EDITED Just re-read your post and found : but I want a my $HOME under Debian shared from a samba server Well, then, you can mount your Samba share on boot to your user's home directory. ADD: In case you want to do it in many computers with different users, you may want to setup a Samba PDC Thanks...

If you just want a simple folder share when running Debian then ...... http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=60620 Or do you want to run /home from a NTFS partition? No I want a Samba server where my home data is located but shared to my Desktop. In that way I can reboot into my Windows...

Samba for home drives in Windows is well documented. but I want a my $HOME under Debian shared from a samba server, I can't find anything on this. Is here someone who runs such a configuration? My goal is to have the same home directory in Windows and Linux, that will save me some reboots and it jus...

It's fixed, it does now what it needs to do. Below is my working config. Trunking worked too, but that wasn't necessary because the VLANs didn't have to transfer to other routers/switches. http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/6005/screenshotat20120115115.png http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/6005/screens...

Yup, you got it. I had been grabbing gnome-shell without recommends from experimental just to check it out. But now I install fonts-cantarell gconf-editor mutter gnome-shell nautilus gnome-session gnome-control-center gnome-themes gnome-themes-standard without recommends. That provides a complete d...

I haven't actually used Gnome 3 (I'm on Squeeze) and all my irritations I've posted are based on the posted experiences of others. I am sure if I were to use it..... :lol: :lol: Yeah, yeah... Have you read my irritations I've posted? Just because they the experience of others does not make them fal...

I placed this in offtopic because this is just a wishlist discussion. How do you wish Debian Wheeze Stable would be? I'm wondering what people are wishing for. :) I started to wonder and hoping recently, how would Wheezy be in about 6 months? By then Wheezy is probably frozen. So what are you hoping...

I believe the Windows NT kernel and much of the OS was also written in C... :wink: Personally I don't really care what language a DE is written in if it works. KDE is bloated, as is gnome, but it's obvious as to why it's bloated if you use it - features, bells whistles, etc for those that want such...

Off topic but why not just nab the latest nvidia driver from nvidia's site instead of using Wheezy? Well there were some other things that didn't worked the way I wanted it to work. Iptables-persistent didn't work with ipv6 (old buggy version), PulseAudio wasn't easily integrated (I needed to recom...

I'm amazed by the fact that the Gnome (and other) developers still have not understood some basic things about software, and what makes software "good". Please don't mistake this post for regular "bitching". I'm actually trying to be constructive. First a bit about myself: I've ...

Sorry, I forgot this topic and that I promised to give you some more information. To protect yourself against exploits check out: AppArmor, Grsecurity or SELinux. I recommend Grsecurity because it's quite easy to implement it. You do have to recompile a vanilla kernel. You can try this tutorial, but...

Just finished my wallpaper and conky configuration for Gnome 3 ;-) EDIT: I updated the wallpaper and conky so the screenshot below isn't up2date. It looks quite the same though.

You can get all the passwords via a memory dump, also with the Iceweasel password method. Some people also argue that that's also a reason why Seahorse shouldn't be more secure, because the passwords can be attained via memory dump. Which is total crap, security should be applied when it's possible....

Try psad and fwsnort. Don't forget to configure them. Also search for some iptable tweaks. I'll post some when I'm at my pc. I've got more tips for you.

Ridicules... The passwords should be stored like in Iceweasel/Firefox. When you unlock them you can use them in applications, but when you want to view the passwords then you should be prompted with the keyring password again. I'll try to propose this simple security feature to the developers. It wo...

Hi, I always had a minimal Debian GNOME installation. But a while ago I had to install the gnome-core package because of the recent GNOME 3 transition. That package fixed some missing dependencies that I needed. Now I've discovered the Seahorse package for the first time. This program freaks me out!...

Never mind, I switched back to Wheezy, much better this way, if there are no broken flash, nVidia or other important uploads again
