With regards to the file-deletion prompt, the option has been available and enabled by default for at least the past two Fedora releases (that I can recall). In the "Behavior" tab of the preferences, it's the "Ask before emptying the Trash or deleting files" option. From my experience with it, when you "delete" a file in Nautilus it is just moved to the Trash (hence, no prompt since it can easily be recovered). It is when you move to permanently delete a file (either by removing it from the Trash or, if you have the option enabled, deleting it and bypassing the Trash entirely) that you are prompted. -- Peter Gordon (codergeek42) Who am I? :: http://thecodergeek.com/about-me signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Greg, I'm not so sure that is an Evolution-specific bug. Do you regularly notice Evolution crashing? I repeatedly see this whenever _any_ program crashes (which thankfully is a rare occurrence).

Pardon if this reply seems a bit insensitive; but instead of simply
fixing it each time these "bullies" hit your PC, why not prevent them in
the first place?
Primarily, how do they attack your computer? Are the attacks from an
external source, or from within your own home/business network? Are you
keeping updated with security fixes and such?
If the attacks are internal, try restricting access to your computer:
iIf you have the "automatic login" enabled for convenience; I recommend
turning it off and forcing yourself (and likely, your attackers) to use
an explicit password. (Ensure that this is a strong and unpredictable
password. Use a lengthy combination of upper- and lower-case letters,
numbers, and symbols; and make it unrelated to your username. Don't
write it down anywhere if you can help it.) Some more paranoid measures
might be to encrypt your hard drive contents (using a different password
than your user login), and to restrict physical access to the machine
(for example, locking it in its own well-ventilated room, and keeping
the key on your person).
If the attacks are coming from an external source, ensure that your
firewall is set to block all incoming connections. If you are connected
to the internet directly, try instead to connect through a known-good
router, as the required NAT will add an additional security barrier
between you and the Internet.
Second, I don't know whether you are running as the superuser ("root")
or not; but if you are, you should stop immediately. As the
administrator account for a system, it has virtually limitless
read/write access to anything on that system, including being able to
add, modify, or remove any kernel modules, programs and user data.
Finally, if none of these are viable in your circumstances, some
utilities you can use include rsync and/or duplicity (or the GNOME
frontend to these, Deja Dup) to create a file-by-file copy of the drive,
and the 'dd' tool to create an image of the drive contents. (Though
realistically, you probably only need the /home directory and any
modified data files in /etc or /var; as the rest can be simply
redownloaded.)

Allow me to correct this misconception right now: Red Hat does not control Fedora. Red Hat _sponsors_ the Fedora Project (with funding, technical infrastructure, etc.); but the _control_ of the project as a whole ultimately lies with the community of its developers and supporters.

Fedora is not a test system as you so claim.

One thing that comes to mind is to keep the entire /home directory on a LUKS-encrypted partition or similar.

In Nautilus for GNOME 3.x, you can select "Search for Files..." from the "Go" main menu; or you can simply press Ctrl+F, if you (as I do) prefer keyboard shortcuts.

While I don't understand the specific details, I'm fairly certain the "net.reactivated" portion stores the D-Bus interface name - usually the reverse of the domain name for the project's own website. For example, most of GNOME's D-Bus stuff is under the interface "org.gnome", and there are also utilities (such as the Telepathy messaging stack) hosted on FreeDesktop.org which use the interface "org.freedesktop". I imagine Fprint is using the "net.reactivated" interface name because "reactivated.net" is the website of its primary author, Daniel Drake.

Historically, one benefit of the Windows NT family (versus the older 9x
base) was that it had a POSIX subsystem for government processing (FIPS
151-2, according to Wikipedia).
A big issue with NTFS, being designed to support that feature set, is
that it can be used in both a POSIX namespace and a Win32 namespace. In
the POSIX namespace, which is what Linux's NTFS tools default to, the
only prohibited characters in a filename are the NULL byte (U+) and
the forward slash (/). On the other hand, when being used through the
Win32 namespace, the list of prohibited characters grows to include the
backslash (\), colon (:), asterisk (*), question mark (?), quotation
mark ("), less-than and greater-than symbols (<, >), and the pipe symbol
(|).
So, I've made it a personal habit to refrain from using any of these
when manipulating data on NTFS, whether from Linux or Windows, in order
to prevent such problems from happening in the first place.
A quick Google search reveals that you can set the "windows_names" mount
option to restrict the creation of filenames to be Win32-compatible.
That may be worth a try. :)
Hope that helps.
