May I run this command during net connection or off line.

They can't be on the CD which is why they are 'restricted'

So you'd need net for that. But do it only if you need all the codecs, fonts and flash, java. These two packages make it very easy installing them.

When I run the command the following err msg displayed
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavail able)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another proc ess using it?

You must close Adept before trying this! Only one package installer must run at a time.

If adept is already closed but still error persists, do this:

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock && sudo dpkg --configure -a

And then run that command for installing again.

 

[skghosh44]

Through adept manager I installed the audio/video codec and now music/video files are playing.

I have installed knetstats to monitor net status. But it shows 4 monitor icon in the status bar 1) eth0 2) eth1 3)ppp0 4)ppp1. and in eth0 it shows highest KB sent/received and ppp0 its shows 1/3 KB of eth0 received/sent. And in case of ppp1 and eth1 there is cross mark i.e disbale. Net connection is OK, I could not understand why so may status monitor.

Konqueror has this problem, use Firefox instead. Or Opera, anything.

Will opera support Kubuntu gutsy ?

Just I installed FireFox, Testing is going on
Which firewall I have to install. Firestarter creating problem. calmav, lokkit which one?

 

[QwertyManiac]

Why do you need a firewall?

 

[mehulved]

Waiting for my cd from shipit !!

I can give you a copy of the alternate install CD if you can come down to VJTI.

Why do you need a firewall?

Who doesn't need one?

 

[infra_red_dude]

@skghosh44
eth0 is your dataone interface. You can disable monitoring the rest of the interfaces.

 

[QwertyManiac]

Who doesn't need one?

iptables are inbuild and pre configured for some stuff, why would one need a frontend anyway on Linux? Anyway, am running Lokkit on KDE now and its going fine.

 

[mehulved]

It's not at all configured on ubuntu.
Ask him to try

iptables -L

it will be empty, no rules whatsoever.

 

[praka123]

@skghosh:install "lokkit" from adept and open konsole and run "sudo lokkit" -select FireWall=High.
ur ifconfig shows 2 lan cards.ppp0 shud be the interface.

 

[skghosh44]

I installed lokkit. But the command sudo lokkit is not working. It display msg "lokkit" command not found.
2. In ubuntu there was a tool for network configuration. Where we can select the desired network interface. But in in kubuntu there is a tool "Network setting" on opening the tool, there shows only eth0 and eth1. If I disable the eth1 then it is not shown in the status bar for that session only. PPP0/eth0 is shown in the status bar.

 

[praka123]

kde-network-manager is what u may be referring to.
lokkit if installed can be configured from terminal.open terminal and

whereis lokkit

/usr/sbin/lokkit -is what i saw.
so,run as below:

sudo /usr/sbin/lokkit

enable security level =>high.

 

[skghosh44]

On running the command "whereis lokkit" out put as under

$ whereis lokkit
lokkit:

"whereis" is it a search command.
Is there any other way to find out in which folder "lokkit" make his home. There is desktop search tools in kubuntu, but if try to search, it searches from the web.

edit: I have installed ubuntu like network manager and configured the eth0.

 

[praka123]

do this: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lokkit"
u have not installed lokkit.
yes."whereis" is a command to search installed bins.
