[00:04] where would I find the list of ppa's I have so I can purge them? [00:08] philipballew, press ALT + F2 and execute "software-properties-gtk". The list you are looking for is under the "other software" tab [00:12] alright, because ppa's are not gonna be in a /etc/apt.sources.list file I dont think sebikul ? [00:12] at least their not for me when i updated 11.10 [00:12] /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [00:12] yeah! thats what i ment [00:12] they are under the folder "/etc/apt/sources.list.d" [00:13] ohh, sorry, i was typing ;) [00:13] maybe the update effed up my list [00:13] because software-properties has them, though they were all disabled I beleive [00:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/705181/ [00:15] ill look into it, but figured it paste it here anyway [00:16] i gotta run. peace! [02:19] hi [02:19] need help [02:20] ok gunjin2112 [02:20] whats up [02:29] i'm using ubuntu 11.04 and running a dual boot with win7 pro 64 bit and i think my system has a virus i mean my win7 and can i scan that drive using ubuntu [02:30] is there a good anti virus for linux and how to install it and how do i scan? [02:32] ok gunjin2112 yeah, there are some virius scanners for linux that would scan your windows partition, [02:32] where do i dl it? [02:32] and do you have any recommendations? [02:33] well, I would try the ones in the software center [02:33] some good ones are... [02:33] * philipballew is remembering [02:34] !virus [02:34] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [02:36] the first on the list is clamav [02:36] is it any good [02:37] I think so. I would honestly just install it and run it and see what turns up. and if you dont like it try a different one [02:38] haha thanks [02:38] ok ill try it then [02:38] thanks again [02:38] bitdefender and avast have linux versions as well [02:39] yeah. I think there are commerical ones to [02:39] if you want to pay a few bucks [02:39] both free thiugh [02:39] though [02:40] i guess i would try them. also see when they were uploaded to the software center [02:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitDefender [02:43] http://www.avast.com/linux-home-edition#tab4 if you run avast read this link as well. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=70903.0 [02:44] you need to register to avast in order to get the license [02:44] i wonder if there and any viriuses on my laptop just sitting there [02:44] clam might work. in the software center reviews it says you need to [02:44] i'm currently running just now clamav [02:44] in terminal [02:44] To update virus definitions: [02:44] sudo freshclam [02:45] according to some review [02:45] philipballew, probably not, I have yet to find one myself, but I don't save cookies and use better privacy in FF to remove longterm cookies some =times thought of as addware [02:46] * philipballew uses chrome :) [02:46] I also run rkhunter and chkrootkit on occasion, the others are for the windows dual boot mostly. [02:48] i stoped duel booting when i installed ubuntu over my xp partition years ago and said "well, so long windows i guess" [02:49] well i cant just yet [02:49] but i'm getting my feet wet [02:49] I have college classes that I need word for and got W7 for 25$, and word cheap to as a student, I actually started on open source. [02:50] thought I would check out MS a while back. [02:51] hardly use it though [02:52] i am in college to. NICE!!! [02:52] I grad after next semester with a bachelors, older student here. [02:53] major? [02:54] black Studies, Psych minor [02:54] also called african studies, the african Diaspora basically [02:59] ah right, We talked about this a few months back [02:59] are you from Africa ? [03:02] no a anglo in america just interested [03:04] I used to play jazz, and like cultural studies in general, these depts also have a more afro-centric view at times which is kind of refreshing, really to some extent it is the left out history at times, and a dofferent point of view.
