How can someone open recup_dir if it is locked on Debian Linux?
Posted by admin, under DebianThis is in relation to Photorec…
You have to change the permission setting of the function
Or the folder
Or simply sudo it or su it to have root permission to do whatever you want
Because normal user account do not have the rights so it appear locked
Gd Luck with Debian it is a Cool OS because Ubuntu builds on it

How do I custom set my LCD monitor resolution on Debian Linux?
Posted by admin, under DebianI am a brand new Debian Linux user - and I'm loving it!
My monitor is a Samsung 226BW 16:10 aspect ratio. The display settings
in Debian has only 4 resolution choices, none of which are 16:10 - so
my monitor looks streched. How do I customize the resolution?
I'm looking for step-by-step insructions. As I said, I'm a newbie. Following examples is a great way for me to learn this OS.
Try editing the xorg.conf file.

Can you tell me how to fins what firewall I have in debian linux?
Posted by admin, under DebianI want to install a new firewall or to open some ports on this one.. but i don't know where I can find and uninstall or install it.. can u help me ?
Chances are, you're either using iptables or (if it's a very old distribution) ipchains.
Essentially you create rules for iptables (for example, by default deny incoming connections, excpet this port, this port, and this port, etc)
You can read up on iptables at

What browser is good for ubuntu/debian linux? is it as good as Windows?
Posted by admin, under Debian
Sorry, Gomez - 'the only decent browser' is fascist and untrue. Firefox is supported by Google resources and money, so it has good reason to be ahead of the competition.
Claudia's advice about high virus/spyware protection is most interesting to linux users I'm sure!
Is it possible to get virus or spyware on linux?
Wow, big question. Whilst I’m answering this question I have Yahoo Answers open in Epiphany browser - it remembers my password for login, and as my original account was deleted this is a useful function which keeps the account from interfering with Opera browser - this is my first choice. My favourite function of opera is the say I can select it (using alt-tab switch) or open it (alt+space, type ‘op’ hit enter) then type a single letter to select a search, and type in a query. (example ‘g debian’ gives google search, ‘gi gnome’ gives google image search gnome. ’sc virus’ gives a Scirus search - and different engines have different strengths.
Mouse gestures and general operation of Opera are really top notch, and it handles web pages within the window (resizing, rearranging) better than Firefox - resizing the whole thing, not just fonts.
Firefox is next, version 3 with the venerable Gecko is a powerhouse - light and fast (a Ferrari maybe, but I think Opera is the Aston Martin) and with some cool heavyweight toolkit!
Firefox is up front now with theming, opera lagging - but still I found one amazing theme that suits me.
Next up is Midori - very small, renders perfectly, but with no advanced functions - that’s good to keep handy. Chrome works, as does Safari, if you need a webkit browser, but my question is ‘why?’.
Extra speed doesn’t improve the browsing experience - I keep them all open, and regularly do the same thing with all of them, and always prefer to stick to the native applications.
One more thing - if you use a Virtualbox, you can have XP Opera, XP firefox, XP chrome. If you install Vista there, you can also have the three Vista versions running - so really the question is how many browsers can you possibly use?
Just be sure that you have 2GB or more of RAM before you start to try that! You need 1.5GB for Vista, and XP is crappy with much less than 700MB.
Flock works, but didn’t play much yet. Internet Explorer 6 and 7 and 8 are installable under WINE, and under VIRTUALBOX . . .
It’s crazy man! Sometimes I fill up so many workspaces I get lost! Good to have a fast cube switcher! (the ’scale windows’ thumnails just get too tiny when you have more than 20 windows open).
