@MarcoCeppi I flagged this because it was locked and I can't edit it out http://askubuntu.com/questions/230621/is-apparmor-actually-working-well-enough
@Alvar i truecrypt the following items: The stuff that has my address, my (prepaid) credit card #s, and my GPG keys. everything else is plaintext. activate two-factor and that should be secure enough.
I am wondering how unsafe Ubuntu linux actually is.
Having different file permissions for root / and other users might today not be enough and actually when asking many people might point out that all the often unsufficiently safe file permissions in Ubuntu are supplemented by AppArmor.
AppArmor...
@jrg I'm afraid it is his minding of meeting people when he is ill health. If he returns into a better state by morning I shall give you a call of course in case you are still available.
Apparmor is a Mandator Access Control (or MAC) system. It uses LSM kernal enhancements to restrict programs to certain resoruces. AppArmor does this with profiles loaded into the kernal when the system starts. Apparmor has two types of profile modes, enforcment and complain. Profiles in enfor...

@JorgeCastro: I have a question for you when you are around: is there any way to ask for a newer version of a package (CMake in this case) to be backported to Precise?
Right - CMake 2.8.9 isn't a dependency of Qt5 nor even a build dependency.
It's actually needed to develop Qt5 applications with CMake.
Although that isn't quite accurate either - it is possible with earlier versions - only much more difficult.
In other words... I'm not sure it would be on the list to backport since it isn't really a requirement of anything - just something that would be needed to use Qt5 with CMake.
here's the thing. could the new cmake coexist with the old one or is it 100% backwards compat. i think that will be where packagers/ppl are going to come at you
@MHC I think they are just fine in your answer. You are trying to convey hard(er) to explain steps and that is what they are for. BTW they have the best quality to render time I've seen.

Some questions I want answered in the answer:
How does apparmor work?
How do I know if apparmor is running?
How can I tell if it's working well?
