Linux is a kernel, are you having a problem compiling or something?Quote:

I have to use a proxy that requires authentication. Not the end of the world, managed to put it in OK, and Firefox prompts me for the credentials.
But Update Manager doesn't, neither does apt-get; just fails.
After I decided to Tether using Wifi through the mobile, then it was a question of removing the bloody proxy, easy in Firefox, but UM was still using it!
So I deleted the Wired connection and rebooted.
Problem solved.
Then of course I found out you can hard code the credentials in apt.conf which solves the problem when I go back.
I'm installing Nessus for the first time in a long time, so I'm having to brush the cobwebs off, I'm afraid!
But thanks for responding. I may yet whimper another question....
:)
Have you sent Paps a PM 'Arry? He'd put you right in no tim...
Why would you reboot? Just restart the network daemon.
What distro is this on?
Ultimate Edition 3.4. Sorry I was rushing out for a beer so took the easy way out.
:)
well well harry, not only you are a Win incompetent, but you can't figure out simple shit like a proxy config in Linux ?
since you seem to be a "Level 1" tech support guy for a corp whose main job is to test "mobile" devices for corporate goons and clean up after the PC when they forgot to update their AV, I am not surprised you failed that one.

Of course he is, he is running an Ubuntu distro where some XBox kid has included packages which you normally install via apt-get or the software update manager.Quote:

Probably par for the course for Mr.Expert - he's confusing the Kernel with the operating system.Quote:

See, and THIS is why I like Butterfly - and why HarryBarracuda is so useless.:smileylaughing:Quote:

we knew the answer, it was your question that was the problem
"my computer is slow and the HD is full, can I reboot to make it faster ?"
That comment may come back to haunt you.Quote:

^ Nice try, Butterfly - we have this conversation before, where you've shown to know even less about Linux than you know about Apple.
Keep ribbing HarryBarracuda - he at least takes you seriously.
I know a lot more about Apple tech that you could dream of, tardette
all you know is their specs, price, and how much pretty they are
Your attempt at explaining Java under Android was a fucking classic,
^ doubtful, on all counts - on average, your knowledge is lagging about 10 years behind. Heck, you don't even know stuff *from* 10 years ago.
Oh look you two, get a room. I only asked about modifying a proxy FFS.

Your problem already starts with definitions - you are most likely referring to an iPad, yet are calling it an iPod. Classic case of Butterfuck.Quote:

Are you "toying" with Nessus or are you actually looking at a mission-critical installation? As before, your criteria and more information is needed before being able to give you a clear answer.
I'd install the VM virtual appliance as a reference install, regardless, first.
I played with Nessus a couple of years back and I'm waiting for our treacle-like procurement department to finish buying an enterprise license, after which I'll be deploying it.
So I have a complete choice of what to run it on and can buy anything if necessary.
I haven't touched Linux for work for a few years, so if you have any suggestions to save me fucking about evaluating, they'd be welcome.
By the way, you do know that signature is a total mess, don't you?
It looks like this:

Thanks for the head's up on the signature. Take it up with DD, who apparently has no clue how to set up permissions on vbulletin, and who's behind this (banned me from some issue or news thread because *he* got his feathers ruffled posting and admining drunk, as usual).
I prefer CentOS simply because I can deploy it without needing to buy a RH support and upgrades license (ie what makes their automated updates system work). CentOS is virtually the same (yay, for true open source) except their repositories aren't locked down, and, in my opinion, are a bit better curated.
Then again, you also get support plans with RH (separate), but I have found those lacking for the issues I have had. Most issues I ended up tracking down by googling hours before RH support got back to me - so I'm saving myself the $$$ and using CentOS. Basically if you can handle an install, and know how to recompile a kernel, you're better served (IMO) by CentOS. The Nessus installer seems self-configuring and self-installing and aware of different flavors of installations - so it really comes down to how familiar you are with it, if you have someone on staff to deal with Linux, or if you want to hire a contractor to set it up and bring you up to speed (and yes, shameless plug: it's one of the things I do, despite being "tainted" by the foul Apple stench).
Like I said, usually best start is to set up a VirtualBox install and install a VM virtual appliance if the vendor offers it (Nessus does), as well as do the same to play round with a CentOS install. I prefer VirtualBox, because it's free, and does a great job running on virtually any host.
Yeah, the .sig really sucks - considering replacing it with a nice comment about D's incompetence in terms of settings perms, but then I probably get banned for good - he is quite a bit sensitive for a thin little guy, when drunk - which he is, apparently, a lot.
Do I really need to compile a kernel just to install Linux and Nessus?
Last time I did it I don't recall having to do that.
Anyway, I have a spare machine so I can play around with it and try and revive the distant memories....
I notice they've included LibreOffice in this release of CentOS, Buttplug will be so upset, he hates it.
:)

Depending on the final installation and configuration, recompiling with minimal needed features and modules is always a good idea, though less so nowadays with the modular kernels and dynamic modules. I find a monolithic kernel convenient fr appliances, though. Just tends to make the box more solid, IMO - again.
lol - if only.Quote:

Seems to happen a lot. Only hurts himself and his business, really.
Harry can't compile kernels, he still think they are ROMs
too many options to compile a kernel in the config menu, most of the terms used he probably has never heard before,
I compile my kernels at least once a month :p
^ I've never heard fellatio described that way before.
