There are a few dead projects that could do this:       Too Compilcated         The question before I go to bed:     How to slipstream Ubuntu the easy way?   Meaning a GUI  Tweaks/Features   Autostart in LiveCD mode Full support of Windows filesystems If possible support of Mac OS X hfs+ filesystems(Not needed, but nice to have) Recovery/backup tools slipstreamed. Gparted, with support of all filesystems related to Windows, as that is what needs the most fixing Extremely lite! Wine, for Anti Malware tools.   This will be used in a TestCD, which i will use, if i want to backup Windows machines. And if also possible wine, to scan the Windows drives for virusses with mbam superantispyware. Already tested them. They work fine.

I would like to customize Ubuntu live CD by installing some additional packages. I have followed   but it doesn't seems to work. Can anyone provide clear instructions?   Note: I do not prefer Remastersys, manual way will be appreciated.

Everything went smooth. But the installer gets crashes after choosing the timezone. How do i fix this issue? Also setting wallpaper affects the login screen. The wallpaper which i set is displayed on the login screen also. I just want the default one for the login screen.

These days, malicious software seems to be infecting Windows computers, encrypting their data against their will, and asking for a Bitcoin ransom in exchange for the encryption key.   In order for such a software to run "successfully" on an OS X machine, would the user first have to run it and give the sudo password? Is such a threat conceivable on OS X without the user doing this?  Would FileVault protect against this? Could a ransomware program, if unwittingly installed by a user (who also confirmed with the sudo password), take your FileVault data hostage? Could it take hostage also your TimeMachine backups even if they are encrypted? In general, how (in)vulnerable is OS X to encryption ransomware, and how careless/unsavvy do the actions of a user have to be in order to actually have his or hers data taken hostage?

I know there is a similar topic on syncing between computers, but I'm looking for an application to run on one computer that will sync a "document/file" folder with a folder on my secondary/external USB drive.  What would be the best solution?  I know I could use Dropbox &amp; Live Mesh, but they use up bandwith which isn't very good when I drop in a lot of large files.  I'm running Windows 7, but I assume any solution for Windows Vista would work just fine.

What is the best filesystem to use cross-platform (Linux, Windows, OS X) which supports disk sizes of at least 2TB and file sizes >4GB?  I'm planning to use it on a USB drive on different computers.  Are there any filesystems that can be used on all the named OSes without installing additional drivers?

First, thank you in advance for any help that you can give a recent transplant from Windows to Ubuntu. I have a question that I have been seeking the answer too but I draw a blank at every turn.  I design websites, free of charge, for nonprofit organizations that are just starting and do not have the resources to hire a design firm. I am in need of a flash/swf editor and compiler. I had a program that I used with the awful previous O/S, however WINE would not run the program.   Thank you in advance for any help that you can offer. Since I do not earn a dime for doing this, I would prefer if the program was open source, however any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I'm new to Ubuntu, so can any of you give me a guide of how I can access my windows 7 files from my Ubuntu 12. I installed it using Wubi. Looked around everywhere but failed.

Since the latest versions (ICS+?) no longer have mass storage, is there any viable alternative to MTP?  The protocol seems inherently broken and the decision to regress to this format seems like a very 'iphone-esque' move (dumb things down, take away power from the users).  There seem to be numerous problems  with files not showing and it seems to me that transferring a file should be simpler than requiring a system reboot - I am unreasonably demanding that way.  I'm aware of tools like Wi-Fi file transfer but often I find myself in areas without wifi, with just my laptop, phone and a usb cable. The other day, for example, I was one a plane, which is an environment decidedly non-conducive to using a wireless system.

I have read about this on , the articles were a few months old though.  Is there an official guide from Ubuntu on how to do this?

I got a 2 TB drive that I have to use with both Windows 8.1 / Windows 10 and Yosemite to OS X / OS X El Capitan and maybe even on Linux.  I need to encrypt the volume. Or rather, I want to create two partitions: a 1.7 TB encrypted and unencrypted the remaining space.  Now I use Windows BitLocker to 512bit. On Mac and Linux nothing, obviously.  What do you recommend?  I saw TrueCrypt (and I read about all the confusion created after May 2014), of VeraCrypt, of GNUPG, Disklocker to read BitLocker on Unix.  But I feel lost and without a good idea.  And if I use TrueCrypt 7.1a waiting for new solutions such as precautions to prevent memory dumps and other potential crack?  And then how should I use TrueCrypt to format the drive? In GPT? MBR? Journaled? FAT?

I'm using the FAT32 file system for my pen drive. It frequently has file/data corruptions.   In Windows, I used the scan disk utility to fix the FAT32/NTFS file systems. How can I do this in Ubuntu?

I have found a guide for that but doesn't sure if it will work or it is safe to use. The guide:  I am asking if is these introductions safe and will work? If not, is there any other solutions for that? I am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Thank you.

I'm trying to detect what filesystems a kernel can support. Ideally in a little list of their names but I'll take anything you've got.  Note that I don't mean , just ones that the current kernel could, theoretically support directly (obviously, fuse could support infinite numbers more).

I'm not even sure if i worded my question right but, I'm familiarizing myself with Ubuntu and want to install it on a new desktop I just finished putting together so I'm trying it on my laptop via live usb first.    I had trouble mounting my NTFS windows partitioned disks, solved that problem but I also see a disk that has the exact amount of memory I alloted for persistence. I try to access it but it shows the same ACL error I got when my NTFS disks weren't mounting.    I've already downloaded some stuff and made some things with LibreOffice and want to know if those things have been save automatically or if I have to mount the usb disk for it to be persistent.

15 years ago  came out which let Windows users revert changes and restore a computer to a previous state. It did this by imposing a journaling system underneath the OS - at the block level, not the file level - and letting you roll back changes.  Is there anything like that for Linux? It's easy to do this inside VirtualBox, but I'd like this to be for my main top-level machine.   How easy would it be to make a virtual machine be one's normal machine? How would one go about this?

I've just installed Ubuntu to replace Windows. I can't seem to find a good alternative to  to run on Ubuntu. Any help would be appreciated.

Just wondering if installing Wine might open up a fairly solid Linux desktop to the world of Windows viruses.  Any confirmed reports about that?  Would you then install a Windows antivirus product under Wine?

I've been a Windows power user/administrator and professional tech for years, I just made the decision to go Linux, and wow, what a difference.     Is there any decently easy way to encrypt external volumes (i.e. USB keys, external hard drives, memory sticks, etc.) that works under Ubuntu 14.04?
