New Ubuntu interface – Heads-up Display

Ubuntu 正籌備將於今年 4 月發佈的 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. 當中有一個稱為 Heads-up Display (HUD) 既功能, 主要是強化了現有的功能表單, 使用者可以透過功能表單直接對相應程式下達執行指令. 以下就是操作示範, 似乎好似好強但要點時間令軟件配合.

解決 Slitaz 出現 Failed to execute login command

近日小棗試用 Slitaz 時發現仍未解決 Failed to execute login command 問題. 上網找資料後得知原因與 USB partition 的格式有關. 要最直接解決問題當然是將手上既 USB 格式由 FAT32 轉至 ext3. 步驟好似複雜但實際簡單, 今次小棗會示範怎樣在文字指令模式將 slitaz cooking 放在 2GB USB 手指內.

首先到 Slitaz 官方網頁下載 iso 檔, 今次小棗以 slitaz cooking 做例子 將 iso 轉為 CD, 並利用 CD 啟動電腦 在 slitaz boot 機畫面, 鍵入 slitaz screen=text 以 root 登入, 密碼請參考 slitaz [...]

Slitaz wifi 設定篇 – iwl3945

近日小棗再次重拾對 Slitaz 的興趣, 開始慢慢研究怎樣令 slitaz 支援 wifi. 今次小棗利用 Dell D430 講解 slitaz cooking 怎樣支援 Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection. 本文假設各位對安裝 slitaz 非常熟悉, 所以沒有提及基本安裝步驟.

注意: 暫時 slitaz stable 還未支援 Intel 3945 chipset. 小棗亦未知這個 firmware 檔案可否在 slitaz stable 上使用.

1. 先到 slitaz.org 下載 3945 chipset 既檔案或直接在 slitaz 執行下列指令

tazpkg get-install firmware-iwlwifi-3945

2. 安裝成功後 iwlwifi-3945-ucode-2.ucode 檔案儲存在 /lib/firmware 3. [...]

[轉載] First Look: Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) Beta 1

Canonical have unveiled the beta 1 of the latest incarnation of its Linux operating system – Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal). Time to take it for a test spin.

Since this is a beta it is not intended for real usage, and neither is it fair to carry out a full review. So I’ll just go [...]

Perl CPAN in Slitaz

After my previous article about compiling snort in Slitaz, I want go further on CPAN modules of Perl in Slitaz. The CPAN shell is bundled in perl package when installation is done. To launch the CPAN shell, I prefer the traditional way:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

The first thing to do should be upgrade the CPAN [...]

Slitaz 自己手動安裝 snort

有留意本欄既讀者都知道, Slitaz 是筆者喜愛既 distro 之一, 原因好簡單 — 硬件要求低.

作為一般家用伺服器, Slitaz 提供了與其他 distro 無異既軟件, php, apache, mysql, samba 等. 但它只需要 1GB 空間與最少 64mb RAM 甚至更少, 曾經網上討論過差不多 16mb RAM 仍可運作. 當 1GB RAM 已是標準配置既時代, 要運行暢順當然無問題. 其實作為伺服器, 主要就是為其他機器或人提供服務,對 RAM 及硬碟要求低正可將多出既資源回饋給所運行既服務提高負載率。

講返正題,因為 Slitaz 本身既 snort 並不支援 mysql,所以需要自行下載安裝程式。

先下載所需程式: (可在 Google 尋找) Snort 主程式及 Snort rules – http://www.snort.org jpgraph Adodb [...]

Compiling snort in Slitaz

I always like to use Slitaz running server, because of the benefit from it’s tiny size and low hardware requirement. More resources can be reserved for server service in compare with other distro.

With less than 1GB after installed in hard drive, it provides common server packages, including apache, php, mysql, samba, sure it contains [...]

Snort error: Failed to find LibVersion() in lib_sfdynamic_example_rule.so

近日發現運行 snort 時出現這句錯誤提示:

ERROR: Failed to find LibVersion() function in … snort_dynamicrules/lib_sfdynamic_example_rule.so

原來解決方法很簡單, 只要將 snort_dynamicrules 目錄內包含 “example” 字眼既檔案移除就可解決.

To solve the above error, just remove all files named “example” in snort_dynamicrules.

好書推介 – Ubuntu Manual

雖然係一本用家 “聖經”, 但係對各位 Ubuntu 既初學者應該幾有用. 其實甚麼 “寶典” 都係介紹相同既東西. 加上免費而且係 PDF 格式, 放在流動裝置上睇都唔會麻煩. 有興趣可以到下列網址下載:
