Also included - but not tested by myself - as yet...

## Usage: "Pandora", Pandora automatically overwrites the RAM when the system is shutting down. Pandora can also be ran manually:
``` bash pandora bomb ```

NOTE: This will clear the entire system cache, including active SSH tunnels or sessions.

#102 Re: Other Issues » AnonSurf Install (w/tor & i2p), Openbox & Mate, Xfce » 2018-04-27 16:55:37

Quick note, working on new Xfce install.
Tor Browser will not connect/work, if system clock is wrong. Mine was.
Xfce install, did not include ntp, ntpdate.
Once I installed pkgs, System clock reset & Tor Browser connected!

Moving on to the "git clone" and "install" ~~ yikes

Disappointed that:
1,044 pkgs to upgrade
97 pkgs to install
4 pkgs to downgrade
2 pkgs to remove
917MB to download ( after installing 1.5GB iso?) yikes

Yeah...That's what I get when something ain't working right. That's only happened with the parrot pkg - not with Und3rf10w/kali-anonsurf pkg...it just worked.
I didn't even think of using numerical ip...and not got to 'connection not secure'..that's like "almost there, but not" tongue

So, you were running Refracta. Think I can install and test ( meaning - try to figure it out! ha).
Also, I'm still trying to progress with that Mate install...might as well start using that .deb file I - found. lol

Ok folks, this way of doing things is nothing but problems for me, and it isn't FUN anymore! tongue
While re-installing parrot again...I read other options from fsmithred, and decided to try another option mentioned.

Sooo, I installed Miyo ascii on another partition. yikes  because...
It's Devuan...its minimal ~ it got refractainstall & snapshot in there...it works, and I likes the Openbox.
I got quickly started & grabbed Anonsurf from GitHub and ran its installer.sh.
It went smoothly & I was surfing as soon as I checked my ip, and with different ip's every few minutes.
Thats with Pale Moon, Tor Browser, and using Synaptic.

I'm still unable to create a launcher in the menu. I copied the details over from parrot's install - but that's all Mate desktop stuff.
Soo, I figured to & did a Devuan ascii Mate install, on another partition. hmm
Will post when that gets working.

I'm supposed to have a .deb package, created during install, but unable to find it.
It isn't in /var/cache/apt/archives, so maybe,

dpkg-deb -b kali-anonsurf-deb-src/ kali-anonsurf.deb

Dumps the built deb package after install? Maybe I should try adding:

dpkg-deb -b kali-anonsurf-deb-src/ Downloads/kali-anonsurf.deb

? maybe next try...I'd like to keep that .deb available!  cool

dpkg -i kali-anonsurf.deb || (apt-get -f install && dpkg -i kali-anonsurf.deb) # this will automatically install the required packages

#106 Re: Other Issues » AnonSurf Install (w/tor & i2p), Openbox & Mate, Xfce » 2018-04-24 03:57:30

My other post has Details & Attempts made, on this hobby/project.
That was more on Devuan`in parrot's home edition. I guess this topic tries another attempt.
Please, Join in ~ if ya feel inclined.. smile

No success for me, using ParrotSec's anonsurf package, but just the other day...I found one that 'does' work. smile
"A port of ParrotSec's stealth and anonsurf modules to Kali Linux"
Head over to GitHub:
and check out, Und3rf10w working pkg.
Make sure to read the "README.md" & go thru the "Issues" for more info.

Running Miyo XTRA ascii with Openbox
Although I can not make menu entries, User or Root Terminal (needs to run as root) works great.
EXPECT:: First "sudo anonsurf start" to fail. If so, using "sudo anonsurf restart" kicks everything in gear.

I had it running for days, confirmed ip change often, even came out of suspend--still working.
Checked my ip on websites, and DNS leak test -- all good.
The installer script will also build a .deb pkg...which you { I'll } can use for { my } other, tweaks tongue

Take notice of terminal output during build & install.
The i2p repo, gets added to apt's sources.list, and all other "Dependencies" should then be satisfied.
Take note of ANY errors.
I had failure at this point, using Mate, for some odd reason.

#107 Re: Devuan » ParrotSec OS, 'considered', switch to Devuan » 2018-04-20 23:16:09

I noticed 10 pkgs to upgrade earlier, only did 7 so far.
I see i got lxpolkit -- will remove & check.
Running the whole lxde desktop? -- that {lxde}pkg isn't installed. Search "lxde", shows I got::

libmenu-cache-bin, libmenu-cache3, lxappearance, lxappearance-obconf, lxde-common,
lxde-core, lxde-settings-daemon, lxinput, lxlock, lxmenu-data, lxpanel, lxpanel-data,
lxpolkit, lxrandr, lxsession, lxsession-edit, lxsession-logout, lxtask,
openbox-lxde-desktop, openbox-lxde-session

I did install openbox - obmenu - obconf - openbox-menu, when I realized I was losing mate desktop pkgs -- openbox
replacement was my first thought...that didn't go to good, lxde gave parrot menu items back!

I see dbus and/or gtk errors almost every time I run any graphical program in a terminal.

Me to! good to hear it ain't a big worry.

I'll continue update & hope it fixs boot problem...then test some pkgs - take notes - and do it all over again! smile
I'll install refracta pkgs and make iso, when things look exciting.

Have you used {or want to} any programs yet? ...Tor, anonsurf, ...? Mine fail. sad

#108 Re: Devuan » ParrotSec OS, 'considered', switch to Devuan » 2018-04-20 18:50:55

SpaceFM::: Thx fsmithred & MiyoLinux...those are good alternatives, and after some duckduck`ing - my cure is:
In toolbar, under, "View-->Preferences" "Advanced" tab, at: "Root's Editor", input "sudo nano", tick "Run root's editor in terminal".
When root is needed, right-click to "Open" choose, "Edit As Root", terminal opens asking for password, nano opens editable file! smile
I grew up with nano wink

On to the hobby venture...
ditto ~ fsmithred ... "..like 'apt-get remove libreoffice"...
Yeppers! ~ I did remove pkgs I won't use - I couldn't see upgrading bloated, useless pkgs also. tongue

fsmithred wrote:

I would recommend getting rid of mate before you upgrade. It will be messy. I installed openbox, lxpanel and lxterminal before removing mate, and I still had to reinstall xorg, xinit, xserver-xorg-video-all after removing mate.

Yes - that was part of my experience as well, in post #14, it was totally unexpected! Was reason for losing network, etc..
That will become part of the first-steps!

and I still had to reinstall xorg, xinit, xserver-xorg-video-all after removing mate.

I'll give attention to that.
I did notice, for how I went thru that, mate-desktop & common stayed in...might not remember that right, but once I removed 2 remaining 'mate', pkgs, I lost panel - desktop icons..!?
But kewl, progress!! Thx fsmithred, for your time here!! Big help not roaming this desert alone..lol smile

I have to type 'disable' during bootup

Same here, not sure what started that. I cannot boot into regular grub menu entry - gotta go into "Advanced" section & use any "Recovery"
mode option, for 4.14 image, thats when I get to the:

SpaceFM is my new toy~~~

Ok, went one to continue those 33 updates...This ones the extreme right now, -
libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 -- removes 13 pkgs, one of them "parrot-updater" !?

and I'm allowed (haa!) to run dist-upgrade!
holding off on updating: desktop-base, intel-microcode (using amd here), iucode-tool, & linux-image-amd64
Think I better hurry up and get beowulf repos in apt!! yikes

#112 Re: Devuan » ParrotSec OS, 'considered', switch to Devuan » 2018-04-18 23:21:58

Geez..I really didn't expect this post to go this far! yikes and I gotta say ~ you trying this..puts some heat under my boots. wink
I only used the installer in Miyo & greenjeans os..I'll have some questions for ya later on... lol
I had the plan to snapshot my hobby-in-progress, thinking it save me some time repeating this repetitively long venture.
The first thing I do after tweaking power & screensaver, is copy over & replace parrots whole 'apt' folder.
If I need to more then that, to get our repos - It's beyond me right now.
Present issue is "parrot-updater", preventing me from using "dist-upgrade", -yep- in terminal.

With our repos now enabled & updated:
I installed refractasnapshot-base 10.1.1 and with it, allot got removed. But, I'll be re-installing soon--no worries. smile
Allot of the mate desktop stuff gets removed. But, I wanted to see the end result of all that - and I figured I've been installing
openbox enough to have another working desktop--if mate failed at login or some point.
That didn't work out to good -- no parrot programs showed up in obox menu...
So I used lxde -- it pulled in menu & others...and its good enough for now & the next install!

With only 33 pkgs -not- upgraded (out of 117, with ASCII repos) I'm pausing upgrade for now...whew!

Now for the kernel image! smile
There were too many dependencies for me to get thru with the linux-image-4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64
Next option I saw, was the...

$uname -a
Linux parrot 4.14.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.14.13-1~bpo9+1 (2018-01-14) x86_64 GNU/Linux

which rebooted & worked, and where I'm typing from now!!

Installed the following packages:
linux-headers-4.14.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 (4.14.7-1~bpo9+1)
linux-compiler-gcc-6-x86 (4.9.82-1+deb9u3)
cpp-6 (6.3.0-18+deb9u1)
gcc-6 (6.3.0-18+deb9u1)
libasan3 (6.3.0-18+deb9u1)
libgcc-6-dev (6.3.0-18+deb9u1)
linux-headers-4.14.0-0.bpo.2-common (4.14.7-1~bpo9+1)
linux-image-4.14.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 (4.14.13-1~bpo9+1)
linux-kbuild-4.15 (4.15.11-1~bpo9+1)

Downgraded: gcc-6-base 6.3.0-18+deb9u1

I did not upgrade linux-image-amd64 4.14+92+parrot1 to our 4.15+91~bpo9+1, just yet! yikes

I do not know if thats all good, or if there's more kernel pkgs to have (or if I went to far?)

In my "head-rush" of -things still working- progress, I duck`ed how to replace/remove systemd with sysvinit (good or bad?).
That's not complete tho, I do have grub menu entries with "(systemd)" in list. So that needs completition when I figure out how!

Geezz, whatta post...I hope this is usefull enough to justify the forum space! yikes
So on to testing if stuff works ~ and either start all over or do a refractasnapshot!

fsmithred ... smile  as always, Thx

2nd install 2day..started slower with upgrading. Working this install on the laptop - wired/wireless, just dealing wired right now.
Spacefm installs easy. wicd-cli, curses, & daemon -- easy as well.
Had to work backwards, getting wicd-gtk.
Depends:python-glade2 (2.24.0-5.1) was not installed, and Depends: python-gtk2 (=2.24.0-5.1) - but, 2.24.0-5.1+b1 is to be installed
Still using synaptic, with "python-gtk2" highlited or marked broken, I looked in "Edit" on toolbar-- & clicked "Fix Broken Packages" and
I got the green install "go for it"! tongue
Continuing backwards to install Depends:python-glade2 (2.24.0-5.1) - and on to wicd-gtk, which installed with no tears.
Removed gnome network manager & any friends I could find.
Upgraded easy packages, heading to the almighty image upgrade.

Rebooted ok, noticing the familar wicd icon and connected ip.

I guess the kernel is a deb package. If I remember right command...

$uname -a
Linux parrot 4.14.0-parrot13-amd64 #1 SMP Parrot 4.14.13-1parrot13 (2018-01-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux

you typed..
and it's a newer version, it should automatically be set to the default in the boot menu when it's installed

..is what I expected - but the removal of the running 'parrot' kernel, threw me off.

I think to search seperatly, for an equal or higher kernel - to install without touching/upgrading parrots image at present.
parrot image depends on.. parrot image..?!

The other upgradable pkg's - that want to remove allot of other stuff -- will stay for now.
Easy upgrades will happen.
Ok, enough for now~~~  wink

#115 Re: Devuan » ParrotSec OS, 'considered', switch to Devuan » 2018-04-17 04:41:55

Well, that was a quick brake smile
Since the views on this topic is large, I'll continue typing my foobars.

Need to figure out howto:
get & setup new linux-image, without removing the running image, and have it as boot choice. (as is usual, in standard boot options)
switch from network manager (gnome?) to wicd, in running os.
same for caja switch - to - spacefm. (really liking it, tho - lots to learn also!)
synaptic also freezes, & gets upgraded - best done in terminal?

Other option..:
Alt+F2 - upgrade from there, maybe at login..? (don't know how to get there sooner?)
alright...more to follow. tongue

#116 Re: Devuan » ParrotSec OS, 'considered', switch to Devuan » 2018-04-17 02:47:55

s`cuse me while I dust off this thread... wink
I got a mail note saying siva replyed to this thread? Wanted to know if any progress... tongue hee hee
But no siva post? Have I been spamed??

Anywho..the progress is, learning ways to mess up & brake fresh installs! I've been doing that for weeks!!

Typing now, from another fresh parrot install, while its still working...chuckle ha ha..
My first move is replacing parrot's 'apt' folder, with devuan's ASCII 'apt' folder..so far, it works. yikes
Using Synaptic, I 'reload' repos & look thru 117 pkgs to upgrade, and can mark all upgrades - without any broken pkgs.
Only 1 gets down-graded...will note that, next try.
With a new linux image upgrade - apt complained about removing the running kernal, and I was off to another broke system.
My thought was to upgrade the kernal first ( which pulled in linux- headers, -kbuild, -compiler-gcc-6, gcc-6 'base & libgcc-6-dev') to satisfy apt's removal warning, & have a backup or other option at boot...
Like I say, I don't really know what I'm doing here - jus` trying.

I went ahead with upgrading the remaining pkgs, and it was all downhill from there. sad
First lost 'networkmanager' (with net connection 1/2 way thru)
lost 'caja' fm
synaptic froze at 'pm-utils'.
...maybe looking thru that pkg list might`a helped? Is that what "Download package files only" checkbox is for?? lol

So i'm installing wicd & spacefm first, recommends pm-utils also.
Back with more... smile

#117 Re: Devuan » ParrotSec OS, 'considered', switch to Devuan » 2018-03-19 05:52:37

Thx fsmithred, I lost internet for awhile, but continue on ~~
The sources list are good...& got both power pkgs.
I've got 'kits', and don't know enough to change things right now (one day ay!).
I did loose menu access to stuff needing root password...synaptic, bla bla....I can
terminal for that.
Reboot & shutdown also...but, no biggie either.

I guess its a good time to install some parrot pkgs & see when I brake it tongue

I foresee learning to deal with pkgs more in depth, so I'll freshen up on KatolaZ instructs.
Maybe they be of some use in Devuan's repos..someday?! yikes

An easy way to keep a log of your changes is to tee the output to a file. Something like:
apt-get upgrade | tee upgrade-log
That way, if you run into some kind of dependency labyrinth, you can share the log to get some possibly useful help.

Thats helpful, since I'm trying to keep track of pkgs & cross-reference, for this 'hobby'...:)

This post is gonna need some organizing huh!

I did not disable ascii repos, I just added the beowulf repo (singular)

Thats the first "beowulf/" on the list. No "proposed/security or updates added?
Just like this: hmm/pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/dists/beowulf/

Upgrade in progress....:)

Just to type it.. I'm starting with,
Fresh Vuu-do install, openbox, tint2, pcmanfm, (spacefm? might look at that) no pmount, and no additional
installing.
As greenjeans posted here, I lost right-click menu, fixed now--
but from what he stated, I think to "Lock Version" on those packages.? Or go thru it again gracefully ~ smile
I noticed also, that "Power Manager", lost options. It's just "Ask" or "Do Nothing" for options...no Hibernate/Suspend?
Since I'm just passing thru ascii, I'm not concerned till beowulf - then I'll dig-in.

I'm also seeing another repo entry, guess I'll leave `em?
packages.devuan.org/devuan
packages.devuan.org/merged
pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged

Thank you both, golinux & fsmithred.. I'm absorbing all your advice! cool
I usually have my hdd split, for my work & other partition to brake things tongue
No worries there...I've learnt well with brakin` & re-installing.

Jus` cause it's quicker - I'm gonna reinstall a fresh Vuu-do, which is smaller too.
Then upgrade it from Jesse to ascii. dev1fanboy has instructs on git wiki.

Question: the upgrade path, from jessie to ascii to ceres to beowulf ...?
Oh - fsmithred, you typed going from ascii to just adding the beowulf repos.
With minimal voo-do, I believe I'll get to beowulf with afew bruises... Ha! lol

2 - Use "already minimal-made Miyo or Vuu-do", (point repo to beowulf? ) and add from there. Seems tuff to figure out parrots source list pinning & all that, to grab from their repo..!? I should try first - before sheding a tear tongue

I need to start small, thinking parrot tweaked most of whats in their repos, to work on their system.

1. Get Parrot Now, install it. (is is even supposed to be installed?)

Another option would be to get the package list and try to recreate it in devuan.

Would following dev1fanboys chroot install work?

From within a running parrot session, run dpkg --get-selections > parrot_package_list
It might even be possible to recreate it in ascii (or get something that's close to the original.)

I got the list from the virtualbox install - (2,023! gonna take some time with that, ay tongue ...and put it on git.

I do have some spare GB's and might even install Virtualbox, to continue this 'hobby project'. smile
Not knowing what to look for or know anything...I'm not Dev level brain lol.

I thought to look at Their Repos, and was surprised to see, in the list...

Index of /parrot/dists

    Parent Directory
    README.html
   ascii/
    buster/
    experimental/
    jessie/

I compared versions of a few packages, noticed none are higher on this Miyo XTRA ascii laptop...!?
Thats not checking important packages tho.
..First Ooopps!
I tried the netinstall "mini" image which does not work, atm. I'm working with the "Home Edition, 64bit".
figuring I could follow one of MiyoLinux instructs to use Openbox and somehow switch their apt-get to Devuan repo.
(Scroll way down for results!)

Ok, this has gotton long and I got some things todo... wink
Type Laterzzzz....
