H_7's questions

Suddendly, without any reasons I can explain, my ubuntu logoff, recovered with ctrl+alt+f1, login, ctrl+alt+f7 . Ok, I was running chrome with flash plug-in, and some terminal bashscript, smalls stuffs. Where I can find (some log files) and what to look for in an effort to discover or try to explain a little better what really happened?

Thanks in any advice.

I am full-warned about the security issues. My question is not about that, please don't answer about it.

I have to browse some website using Tor with Flash enabled, but Tor Browser Kit came with flash disabled by default. Can someone point me how to install and run Flash web sites inside Tor Browser Bundle?

Any solution for same problem with Windows 7 is full aprecciated too, btw.

Many thanks.

Two process named gksu and two process named su-to-root appeared on my system monitor, is my computer owned? How can I be sure, and if this true, how can I rip out the intruder without full system reinstall?

Where and which logs I should check, and looking exactly for what?

I use Firestarter, but events logger appear empty(?)... what is another bad sign...

Thanks so much for any help.

Ubuntu 11.10

AND THE PROCESS SH KEEPS REBORNING!!

I think Ubuntu is set by default to use pulse audio driver. How do I change to OSS? Some softwares that I am using only allow this type of sound driver to use corectly the sound system. Thank you for any advice.

This question is related to this one.

I work with animation, which generates a LOT of files (+/- 1,000,000) typically stored on a single directory. On Mac Os X, some bugs came up with more than +/-30,000 files, so I used to break the animation into various directories.

On Ubuntu, is there a limit for the number of files a single directory can hold?
