  Installing Audit Tools
Posted by: NRD80V - 11-25-2014, 06:25 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Dear All
Kindly tell me how to install Kali Linux Tools in Linux Lite
I tried to add the repo but could not succeed

I am trying to learn and practice system audit
I thought it would make sense to have a proper desktop linux and then install the audit tools which I use very rarely

In Fedora I used to install security lab items in a single command
Can I have such installation mechanism in Linux Lite

Yours
V. Narayanan

  Moving LL HD to another PC - not booting normally
Posted by: Alan_uk - 11-24-2014, 07:53 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (3)


Hi

I've spent many weeks installing and customising a LL 1.0.8 x32 bit system along with a whole range of apps including Wine and VBox. This was on an ASUS box:

Asus A88XM-Plus AMD Socket FM2+ Motherboard
AMD A4 5300 3.4GHz Socket FM2 Dual Core
    Integrated Radeon HD 7480D Graphics
G.Skill RipjawsX 8GB DDR3 2133MHz Dual Channel
Western Digital Black 1TB SATA III 3.5" Hard Drive
XFX Pro 550W Power Supply Unit
Generic 22x DVD+/-RW Drive
Samsung 19" LED screen Model S19A450BR  LS19A450BRT

I've now decided to move the whole system to an older EPOX box:

Epox Ep-9npa+ Ultra
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 939 pin / 1800MHz 512KB L2 Cache 1600MHz Hyper Transport Link
256MB Leadtek PX6200TC-TDH PCI-E - NVIDIA GeForce 6200 Turbocache
Corsair TwinX XMS3200 3GB  DDR400 / CAS : 2-3-3-6*
Western Digital Black 1TB SATA III 3.5" Hard Drive
525W Hiper HPU4S525 PCI-Ex
Sony DW-Q28A OEM
Floppy Disk Drive


On ASUS the Secure Boot (UEFI) Bios was removed and set to OtherOS before installing LL 1.0.8 x32 bit
Also whilst the graphics driver was installed for the HD 7480D the system profile said it was not active.

I cloned the ASUS HD to an identical HD and once the Swap partition was formated it worked OK in the ASUS.

On inserting it into the EPOX the PC LinuxOS logo appeared and then it went into CLI mode asking for user ID and password. On entering these it said:

--------------------
Welcome to Linux Lite 1.0.8 (GNU/Linux 3.8.0-34-generic i686)

Your current Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is no longer supported
since 2014-08-07..................

Upgrade command ..................
----------------------------
(see attachment for screen shot)

The Epox does run a live CD of LL 1.0.8 x32 bit

Here's a System Report on the EPOX PC booting with the Live CD
http://www.alancooper.me.uk/docs/Lian-Ep...eport.html
(or see attached for pdf)

Suggestions please, hopefully not re-installing everything  Wink

FURTHER INFO

I looked at xorg.config and it's very basic and no driver info but exactly as the working Asus system:

Code:
Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Default Screen"
    DefaultDepth    24
EndSection

Section "Module"
    Load    "glx"
EndSection

Could/should I
1) Reinstall xorg: sudo apt-get install xorg
2) Edit xorg.conf to add: Driver "vesa"
3) Install nvidia drivers:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current  - will that work for a legacy card?
Give up and
4) Transfer all my packages to a clean install as here - onto the cloned hard disk (so all my data and configuration is maintained)

  "Official" Linux Lite You Tube Channel
Posted by: Coastie - 11-23-2014, 10:02 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (7)

Searching for Linux Lite 2.2 videos on You Tube found this channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2Mp_i7...sL3T-IBwNQ with the Linux Lite 2.2 Beta 1 Install Video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSW3VAF7YP8 The installer was "Jerry." Is this the "official" Linux Lite You Tube Channel?

If it is I hope it will soon have an RSS feed so I can keep up with new videos. (I don't have a Google account due to privacy concerns so I can't subscribe.)

  Internet Data Plan
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 11-23-2014, 09:58 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (6)

Hello,

I caught a Channel 5 news story earlier, it took me a while to locate anything about it online when I returned home -
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-30166477

The pretence of the policy is it's for terrorist apprehension, and CEOPS to use.
However on the channel 5 interview with Theresa May, she revealed the law will be good because it will

Quote:"allow detection of those downloading copyright infringing materials, without a warrant, being needed and the police will be able to force internet and phone providors, at will , on demand without any reason needing to be given, to immediately supply the details of any user".

The BBC have a different clip of Theresa May altogether, spinning the cover story.

  Menu "Recently Used" cannot be removed
Posted by: mdavies5 - 11-23-2014, 06:40 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

Using LL Beta 2.2 and Whisker Menu. Right click the menu icon and select "Properties", go to "Behaviour" tab. There is a check box "Display recently used by default". This seems to have noi effect. I leave it unchecked but the "Recently Used" menu category still appears. Any idea how I can get rid of it? Thanks.

  Google Earth - dependency is not satisfiable...
Posted by: m654321 - 11-22-2014, 05:13 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

I downloaded Google Earth from the internet (Debian/Ubuntu 64-bit version) but
failed to get gdebi package manager to install it.  I also used the
synaptic package manager and downloaded the version there in the repository but
without luck there either.

In both cases, when gdebi started installation, the following message is given on
the gdebi window:

"Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: ia32-libs"

I then used the terminal  "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" but this failed to fetch and install
ia32-libs.

Any help, much appreciated.
Regards
Mike
