Configuring Network Interface by Command Line in Dreamlinux 2.2

ghazalisco — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 04:28:43 +0000

Configuring Network Interface by command line in Dreamlinux 2.2

To set the IP address of your LAN card, say eth0, type:

root@mars:/etc/init.d# nano /etc/network/interfaces

Edit the file to include the following:

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static

address 172.16.0.2

netmask 255.255.0.0

gateway 172.16.0.1

Save and quit. Then restart the network services.

root@mars:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/./networking restart

Check that the eth0 interface is configured correctly:

To set the nameserver IP address, type:

root@mars:/etc/init.d# nano /etc/resolv.conf

Edit the file to include the following line:

nameserver 192.168.1.1

Save and quit. Then restart the network services.

root@mars:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/./networking restart

Exploring USB Wireless Network Connection in Dreamlinux 2.2

Exploring USB Wireless Network Connection in Dreamlinux 2.2

When you plugged in the USB Wireless Adapter, type:

root@mars:~# lsusb

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp.

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

This shows that Dreamlinux detected a USB wireless adapter. Next type:

root@mars:~# iwconfig

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

sit0 no wireless extensions.

Exploring minicom in Dreamlinux 2.2

ghazalisco — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 04:10:51 +0000

Exploring minicom in Dreamlinux 2.2

Minicom is used to terminal into a router via serial port to configure, the router settings.

To start off, install minicom.

root@mars:~# apt-get install minicom

After installation, proceed to configure minicom, by typing:

root@mars:~# minicom -o

In minicom, press ctrl A, Z to go to minicom main menu.

Then press o to configure

Go to Serial port setup

Select A to set the Serial Device to /dev/ttyS0

Then select E to change the speed settings. Choose C to select speed of 9600 bps 8 parity bits and 1 stop bit.

Select save as, and save the configuration as any name which is find suitable for example in my case it’s cisco_portsmouth,

To terminal into the router, you need a serial cable which connects at the back of your workstation to the serial port of the router.

Then type:

root@mars:~# minicom -s cisco_portsmouth

Welcome to minicom 2.3

OPTIONS: I18n

Compiled on Feb 24 2008, 16:35:15.

Port /dev/ttyS0

Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys

portsmouth>AT S7=45 S0=0 L1 V1 X4 &c1 E1 Q0

% Invalid input detected at ‘^’ marker.

Installing Packages in Dreamlinux 2.2

ghazalisco — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 03:56:55 +0000

Installing Packages in Dreamlinux 2.2

To install packages, type:

# apt-get install telnetd

But let’s say you receive the following error message:

Reading Package Lists… Error!
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occured while processing orange (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

You will need to edit the following file

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf

Add the line:

APT::Cache-Limit "16777216";

Save and quit.

The Sources List

You will need to update your sources list. At first my list was not updated and so I google and have a few suggestions. Nevertheless, mine look like the following:

root@mars:/etc/apt/apt.conf.d# grep -v “^#” /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main

Accessing Removable Storage Devices in Dreamlinux 2.2

ghazalisco — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 03:47:32 +0000

Accessing Removable Storage Devices in Dreamlinux 2.2

Insert your USB thumbdrive or external harddisk

Dreamlinux will automatically detect your device and mount it.

To check the device, type:

root@mars:~# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 8622 MB, 8622931968 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1048 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Disk identifier: 0xe65b0c41

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

/dev/hda2 957 1048 738990 5 Extended

/dev/hda5 957 1048 738958+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris

Disk /dev/sda: 128 MB, 128974848 bytes

6 heads, 63 sectors/track, 666 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 378 * 512 = 193536 bytes

Disk identifier: 0×092b6c5a

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

/dev/sda1 * 1 667 125920+ 6 FAT16

Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:

phys=(665, 5, 63) logical=(666, 2, 30)

From the above results, /dev/sda1 is your USB thumbdrive.

Another way is to type,

root@mars:~# mount

/dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw)

proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)

devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)

devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)

automount(pid2490) on /mnt/auto type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=2490,minproto=2,maxproto=4)

The last line, /mnt/auto will mount the USB thumbdrive. Simply navigate to the directory.

root@mars:~# cd /mnt/auto/

List the files

root@mars:/mnt/auto# ls -l

total 0

dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 12 07:59 cdrom

dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 12 07:59 floppy

dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 12 07:59 sda1

The directory sda1 refers to your thumbdrive. Simple as that.

Exploring SSH in Dreamlinux 2.2

ghazalisco — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 03:31:38 +0000

Exploring SSH in Dreamlinux 2.2

In this exercise, you will need a ssh server and a ssh client. I have assigned Ubuntu as my ssh server while Dreamlinux takes the role of a ssh client.

On the SSH server

root@ismailrocks:~# ps -ef | grep ssh

root 4598 1 0 09:27 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd

root 5099 5061 0 09:27 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent x-session-manager

The above results shows that the sshd service which is the ssh server service is running.

root@mars:~# ssh 172.18.0.2

root@172.18.0.2’s password:

Last login: Fri Jul 31 10:28:03 2009 from 172.16.0.2

Linux ismailrocks 2.6.22-16-generic #1 SMP Mon Jan 26 00:07:52 GMT 2009 i686

To run a command as administrator (user “root”), use “sudo <command>”.

See “man sudo_root” for details.

root@ismailrocks:~#

Secure Copy is ssh

I will secure copy a document from the Ubuntu server to the Dreamlinux server.

root@mars:~# scp root@172.18.0.2:/root/Documents/ubuntu_wireless.doc .

root@172.18.0.2’s password:

ubuntu_wireless.doc 100% 116KB 6.4KB/s 00:18

Now let’s change roles. The Dreamlinux will be the ssh server, while the Ubuntu server takes on the role of a ssh client.

You will need to start the sshd service on the Dreamlinux, if it is not started.

root@mars:~# /usr/sbin/sshd

Type the following to check sshd is running.

root@mars:~# ps -ef|grep sshd

root 4151 1 0 15:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd

Now from the ssh client, in my case the Ubuntu server, ssh into the Dreamlinux server.

root@ismailrocks:~# ssh 172.16.0.2

root@172.16.0.2’s password:

Last login: Tue Aug 11 15:31:48 2009

Linux mars 2.6.18.1-kanotix-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 29 15:15:15 EST 2006 i686

So we successfully ssh into the Dreamlinux server.

X11 Forwarding

You can launch X applications like gedit, xmms, cdp xeyes, xclock on your remote host but the applications will appear on your local machine.

On local host, Dreamlinux, check that X11 forwarding is enable.

root@mars:/etc/ssh# grep -i forward ssh_config

# ForwardAgent no

ForwardX11 yes

ForwardX11Trusted yes

If yours is not enable, edit the file and make the necessary changes

On remote host, Ubuntu, you will also need to enable X11 forwaring.

Now we are set to experiment on X11 forwaring.

On local host, Dreamlinux, type:

root@mars:/etc/ssh# ssh -X 172.18.0.2

Simply replace the IP address with your owmn machine.

root@mars:/mnt/auto# ssh -X 172.18.0.2

root@172.18.0.2’s password:

Last login: Tue Aug 11 16:45:51 2009 from 172.16.0.2

Linux ismailrocks 2.6.22-16-generic #1 SMP Mon Jan 26 00:07:52 GMT 2009 i686

Now type:

root@ismailrocks:~# xterm &

You will see an xterm window appears on your screen.

insert screenshot

You can control the DVD tray, play mp3 and video files and many more.

Note: If you want the applications to appear on the remote site instead on your local machine, you have to export the DISPLAY variable.

On the remote site, type:

export DISPLAY=:0.0

Now at the local site, in the xterm which already has a ssh connection to the remote site, type xeyes. You will see that xeyes will appear on the remote site.

Configuring telnet in Dreamlinux 2.2

ghazalisco — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 03:27:44 +0000

Configuring telnet in Dreamlinux 2.2

In this exercise, the telnet server is the Ubuntu server and the Dreamlinux server will be the telnet client. So the title for this section should read “Configuring telnet server in Ubuntu”. There is nothing to be configured on the telnet client, other than having the telnet client script called telnet Anyway this is how we configure telnet server in Ubuntu.

Configuring telnet server in Ubuntu

You need to install inet

But before that check that inet or xinetd is not install

root@ismailrocks:/etc/init.d# ls x*

x11-common xserver-xorg-input-wacom

root@ismailrocks:/etc/init.d# ls i*

ls: i*: No such file or directory

root@ismailrocks:/etc/init.d#

Install telnetd

root@ismailrocks:/etc/init.d# apt-get install telnetd

Selecting previously deselected package openbsd-inetd.

(Reading database …

144599 files and directories currently installed.)

Unpacking openbsd-inetd (from …/openbsd-inetd_0.20050402-6_i386.deb) …

Selecting previously deselected package telnetd.

Unpacking telnetd (from …/telnetd_0.17-35ubuntu1_i386.deb) …

Setting up openbsd-inetd (0.20050402-6) …

* Stopping internet superserver inetd [ OK ]

* Not starting internet superserver: no services enabled.

Setting up telnetd (0.17-35ubuntu1) …

Check if telnetd is installed

root@ismailrocks:/etc# dpkg -l | grep telnet

ii telnet 0.17-35ubuntu1 The telnet client

ii telnetd 0.17-35ubuntu1 The telnet server

I tried to search for telnetd via find command but failed to locate any telnetd scripts.

Paradoxically we are searching for a package openbsd-inet which will run the telnetd service. In Linux the inetd script is also know as the internet superserver script

root@ismailrocks:/etc/init.d# dpkg -l | grep openbsd-inetd

ii openbsd-inetd 0.20050402-6 The OpenBSD Internet Superserver

root@ismailrocks:/etc/init.d# ll openbsd-inetd

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2324 2007-04-27 21:06 openbsd-inet

openbsd-inetd is a script to start telnetd

root@ismailrocks:/etc/init.d# ./openbsd-inetd

Usage: /etc/init.d/inetd {start|stop|reload|force-reload|restart}

Before you start inetd, type:

root@ismailrocks:/etc/init.d# ps -ef|grep inetd

root 6753 6382 0 15:19 pts/1 00:00:00 grep inetd

This shows that inetd is not running

Start inetd, by typing:

root@ismailrocks:/etc/init.d# ./openbsd-inetd start

Starting internet superserver inetd [ OK ]

Check that inetd is running

root@ismailrocks:/etc/init.d# ps -ef|grep inetd

root 6774 1 0 15:19 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/inetd

Now let’s telnet into this Ubuntu telnet server from another server, in my case, the Dreamlinux server. But before that it’s interesting to check that tenetd is not running on the telnet server. To see this, type:

root@ismailrocks:/etc/init.d# ps -ef|grep telnetd

root 6938 5571 0 15:22 pts/0 00:00:00 grep telnetd

You will see that telnetd is not running, and you don’t have to start it. This is because the inetd service will start once it receives a telnet connection from other terminals.

Now telnet to the telnet server.

root@ismailrocks:/etc/init.d# telnet 192.168.1.100

Trying 192.168.1.100…

Connected to 192.168.1.100.

Escape character is ‘^]’.

Linux ismailrocks 2.6.22-16-generic #1 SMP Mon Jan 26 00:07:52 GMT 2009 i686

ismail@ismailrocks:~

On the telnet server you can check that the telnet server service, telnetd is started automaticaly by inetd. To see this type:

ismail@ismailrocks:~$ ps -ef|grep telnetd

telnetd 7086 6774 0 15:26 ? 00:00:00 in.telnetd: ismailrocks.local

Ok let’s now reverse role, Ubuntu becomes the telnet client and Dreamlinux becomes the telnet server.

On the Dreamlinux, check that openbsd-inetd (also known as the internet superserver), which handles the telnet requests.

root@mars:/etc/init.d# ls -l openbsd-inetd

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2354 Sep 11 2006 openbsd-inetd

Yes, it is installed. If it is not installed, type:

root@mars:/etc/init.d# apt-get install telnetd

Now start the inetd service.

root@mars:/etc/init.d# ./openbsd-inetd start

Not starting internet superserver: no services enabled.

I received the above error because telnetd is not enable in the /etc/inetd.conf file. So add in the telnetd service in the /etc/inetd.conf file by typing the following line.

root@mars:/etc# nano inetd.conf

telnet stream tcp nowait telnetd /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd

After you have edited the /etc/inetd.conf file (I use nano for editing), start the inetd service on the telnet server i.e. the Dreamlinux server.

root@mars:/etc/init.d# ./openbsd-inetd start

Starting internet superserver: inetd.

Now from a telnet client, in my case the Ubuntu server, type;

root@mars:/etc/init.d# telnet 172.16.0.2

Trying 172.16.0.2…

Connected to 172.16.0.2

Exploring FTP in Dreamlinux 2.2

ghazalisco — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 03:18:10 +0000

Exploring FTP in Dreamlinux 2.2

For ftp to work, the ftp server, in this case, the Ubuntu server needs to run the ftp server services. On my Ubuntu server, I have installed proftp. To see of the ftp server service is running, type:

root@ismailrocks:~# ps -ef|grep ftp

proftpd 4882 1 0 09:27 ? 00:00:00 proftpd: (accepting connections)

If your proftpd is not running, you will need to start it. The location tostart the proftpd service is at :

root@ismailrocks:/etc/init.d# ./proftpd

Usage: /etc/init.d/proftpd {start|force-start|stop|force-stop|reload|restart|force-reload}

As for the ftp client, you will need the ftp client program. This is normally installed by default. Check its existence by typing

root@mars:~# which ftp

/usr/bin/ftp

FTP from Dreamlinux server to Ubuntu server

root@mars:~# ftp 172.18.0.2

Connected to 172.18.0.2.

220 ProFTPD 1.3.0 Server (Debian) [::ffff:172.18.0.2]

Name (172.18.0.2:root): ismail

331 Password required for ismail.

Password:

230 User ismail logged in.

Remote system type is UNIX.

Using binary mode to transfer files.

ftp> pwd

257 “/home/ismail” is current directory.

ftp>

Yes this shows that the ftp connection is successful. Try to put and get some files between the terminals.

Ok now let’s reverse the roles: Dreamlinux will be the ftp server and Ubuntu, the ftp client.

Firstly install the proftpd package on the Dreamlinux

# apt-get install proftpd

After you had installed the package, start the ftp server.

root@mars:/etc/init.d# ./proftpd start

You can start ftp server as standalone, as in my case or you can start it as a internet superserver in inetd.

root@mars:/etc/init.d# ./proftpd status

ProFTPd is started in standalone mode, currently running.

Test the ftp

root@mars:/etc/init.d# ftp 172.16.0.2

Connected to 172.16.0.2.

220 ProFTPD 1.3.1 Server (Debian) [::ffff:172.16.0.2

Name (172.16.0.2:root): ismail

331 Password required for ismail

Password:

230 User ismail logged in

Remote system type is UNIX.

Using binary mode to transfer files.

ftp> pwd

257 “/home/ismail” is the current directory

Thus the ftp is working fine.

Alternatively you can also set it by using the GUI. Click on the DCP-Control Panel and launch Network Admin.. But sometimes, Dreamlinux failed to lauch the GUI. So another method is to type:

root@mars:~# network-admin

If there are error messages displayed, ignore them. The Network Settings window will pop up and you can set the network settings.

If you are setting the IP address for LAN, you have to use static IP address. Edit the /etc/network/interfaces file as show below.

root@mars:~# vi /etc/network/interfaces

### Network settings #####

# Loopback

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet static

address 172.16.0.2

netmask 255.255.0.0

gateway 172.16.0.1

And restart the network process.

root@mars:/etc/init.d# ./networking

Usage: /etc/init.d/networking {start|stop|restart|force-reload}

Test the Network Settings

Ping the network interface eth0 and another terminal that is connected to the server to see that the network settings are set correctly.

root@mars:~# ping 172.16.0.2

Above is the ping results to the Dreamlinux itself.

My Dreamlinux server is connected to another server, an Ubuntu server over a WAN connection. Take note of the IP address of my Ubuntu server. It is on another network segment, i.e. 172.18.0.0. Below is the ping results to the Ubuntu server.

Unetbootin, bootable Live USB drives!

thundertronic — Fri, 22 May 2009 11:23:36 +0000

Unetbootin is a usefully tool that allows you to create Live USB drives, yummy! Its available for the use on a linux box or a windows box.

UNetbootin has built-in support for downloading and installing the following distributions:

Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian,PC linux OS, Sabayon,Linux Mint, Gentoo, Mepis,Open SUSE, Zenwalk, Slax, Dreamlinux, Elive, Arch Linux, Damn Small Linux, Puppy Linux, Cent OS, SliTaz, Mandriva,gNewSense, Faun OS, Free BSD, NetBSD, and finally Frugalware Linux.

Windows:

The installation for windows is really easy and typical of any other program installation on a windows machine.

Once you have a window like the above illustration you follow the next four steps.

It convinient/smart to plug in the usb drive you want to use before you start unetbootin.

1. Choose the distribution and version

2. Since we are choosing the distribution option we just skip over to the bottom were we see “type”. Under type we always choose USB Drive.

Warning : Be careful what USB drive letter you choose. Make sure it is the actual flash drive you want to use as your LIVE USB.

3. Choose your usb driver letter and press OK. Now the distribution iso is being downloaded and the other files need to make your USB to be come “LIVE”.

4. Once the installation is complete, restart the your computer and make sure to select to boot from USB in your computer BIOS. If you dont know how to do that use google.com and look up “how to boot from USB”

The Linux version of Unetbootin comes pakaged in either a .deb or .rpm files, and tar.gz. Depending on which system you have and which you’d like to install. The packages available as of now are for Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, openSUSE, CentOS, Arch Linux, Slackware, and Debian.

Linux:

The installation of unetbootin on a debian machine is pretty easy.

It convinient/smart to plug in the usb drive you want to use before you start unetbootin.

Download the .deb file from http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/.

These steps are assuming that you have downloaded the .deb file in the desktop.

Open a terminal and type:

cd /file location

in our case

cd /home/yourusername/Desktop

our final step would be

sudo dpkg -i pakagename.deb

but in our case (since our file is in the desktop)

sudo dpkg -i unetbootin_323-1_i386.deb

once that is done we can continue to the main steps

1. Choose the distribution and version

2. Since we are choosing the distribution option we just skip over to the bottom were we see “type”. Under type we always choose USB Drive.

Warning : Be careful what USB drive letter you choose. Make sure it is the actual flash drive you want to use as your LIVE USB.

3. Choose your usb driver letter and press OK. Now the distribution iso is being downloaded and the other files need to make your USB to be come “LIVE”.

DreamLinux Desktop Edition versi 3.5: Menjadi SuperUser Tanpa Memerlukan Password

kaboel — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 01:29:09 +0000

DreamLinux 3.5 distro turunan dari debian yang defaultnya menggunakan XFCE desktop adalah distro yang ringan, stabil dan memiliki tampilan yang manis. Paket aplikasi yang disertakan sudah cukup lengkap untuk ukuran distro menengah. Terdapat fasilitas untuk remastering distro maupun membuat USB FlashDisk-Live.

Untuk package management telah disertakan synaptic bagi yang tidak menyukai perintah-perintah di shell. Yang menjadi pertanyaan ketika hendak melakukan instalasi, remove, ataupun update dengan menggunakan synaptic kenapa tidak ditanyakan password superuser (root) padahal saya login menggunakan user biasa. Tidak hanya sampai disitu saja, ketika saya mencoba men-depackage paket instalasi deb yang saya miliki, saya menuliskan perintah pada shell : $ dpkg -i [nama_paket].deb hasilnya memang tidak bisa dieksekusi, namun ketika saya menambahkan perintah sudo (menjadi superuser) : $ sudo dpkg -i [nama_paket].deb perintah tersebut dapat dieksekusi dan paket terinstall dalam komputer tanpa memerlukan password superuser.

Aneh, mungkin pembuatnya berpikiran untuk mempermudah user mengakses dan mendapatkan hak-hak istimewa superuser, namun bila sistem operasi ini diinstall pada komputer publik (umum) tentu berbahaya, karena seorang yang hanya memiliki akun sebagai user biasa dapat mengubah-ubah system tanpa perlu mengetahui password superuser.
