You need the iw package and net-tools i think.

I had no issues with the installer, i did use graphical install and it asked if i wanted to install non free software. Maybe try the installer again Essikario, you may have missed a step?

If chrootkit and rkhunter are reporting warnings maybe you should join their mailing list and report them there. Im not familar with rkhunter but it is a package in devuan stable, interesting.

For rkhunter see this link.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … ebi/385904

rkhunter needs to know what package manager you are using.

Create or edit /etc/rkhunter.conf and add the following line:

PKGMGR=DPKG

If you are not on Debian or Ubuntu, then change DPKG for your actual package manager.

This way, rkhunter will know to expect those executables to be scripts, and not flag the false positive.

It will ensure that if the files are tampered with, then a new positive result will show.

I appended the /etc/rkhunter.conf line (read line 405 to 435) to....

# The PKGMGR option tells rkhunter to use the specified package manager to
# obtain the file property information. This is used when updating the file
# properties file ('rkhunter.dat'), and when running the file properties check.
# For RedHat/RPM-based systems, 'RPM' can be used to get information from the
# RPM database. For Debian-based systems 'DPKG' can be used, for *BSD systems
# 'BSD' can be used, and for Solaris systems 'SOLARIS' can be used. No value,
# or a value of 'NONE', indicates that no package manager is to be used.
#
# The current package managers, except 'SOLARIS', store the file hash values
# using an MD5 hash function. The Solaris package manager includes a checksum
# value, but this is not used by default (see USE_SUNSUM below).
#
# The 'DPKG' and 'BSD' package managers only provide MD5 hash values.
# The 'RPM' package manager additionally provides values for the inode,
# file permissions, uid, gid and other values. The 'SOLARIS' also provides
# most of the values, similar to 'RPM', but not the inode number.
#
# For any file not part of a package, rkhunter will revert to using the
# HASH_CMD hash function instead.
#
# NOTE: Whenever this option is changed 'rkhunter --propupd' must be run.
#
# The default value is 'NONE'.
#
# Also see the PKGMGR_NO_VRFY and USE_SUNSUM options.
#
# NONE is the default for Debian as well, as running --propupd takes
# about 4 times longer when it's set to DPKG
#
PKGMGR=DPKG

#260 Re: News & Announcements » Devuan 2.0 ASCII Release Candidate » 2018-05-11 12:10:48

Just did a bare bones install of this RC ,basic openbox, a workable build environment. Running palemoon,pcmanfm,terminator i was using 284 mb on the amd64 netinstall iso. Basic usage like that is what makes me really enjoy Devuan.

#261 Re: Other Issues » md5sums for packages » 2018-05-11 09:16:55

^ and Devuan only use sha256 checksum not md5 if i am not mistaken.

slashmais, i believe you would do well to read and try to understand that link i left before commenting any further. The only way you be able to verify an individual package is to package it yourself, Devuan/Debian has taken all that hard work away by creating a packaging system called apt. It is based on trust and there is a security team looking after the vulnerabilities and bugs that may appear from time to time.

Very interesting thanks for posting this up. I own a nehelem intel laptop and they haven't patched this one yet afaik but ive read info that they plan to, so a chip that is over ten years old warrants patching!. Has there been any attacks/cracks reported due to these exploits yet?

#263 Re: News & Announcements » Devuan 2.0 ASCII Release Candidate » 2018-05-10 12:29:46

Have been using Ascii on an old media box since it arrived as beta, have had no issues thus far using a full xfce4 install. Thanks and congrats on the milestone.

#264 Re: Other Issues » md5sums for packages » 2018-05-10 11:37:46

what packages? Devuan packages? Doesn't make sense what you are asking to me, maybe if you were packaging them yourself from upstream perhaps?

Maybe have a read of this as Devuan is a fork of Debian...

Its good but does it do the same thing as using "apt search" from command line?

I was just browsing local solar power products when i came upon this!

https://www.jaycar.com.au/flux-capacitor/p/OUTATIME

Website is called Jaycar Electronics which is a popular electronics store in my neck of the woods.

Designed to work hand in hand with a small nuclear reactor or other suitable power source, the flux capacitor is capable of opening up a hole in the fabric of space time allowing transportation to a user defined point in the past or future.

How it works? When the capacitor is charged with 1.21GW of energy the internal transient thermostratum begins an internal rapid particle acceleration process. The exterior of the capacitor will experience extreme ionasation followed by nano bursts of reverse quantum entanglement. During this process, it is necessary to keep the device itself accelerating through a 3 dimensional space, for example driving a car. At a user configurable velocity a time-warp bubble will open for a matter of pico seconds allowing the device, and whatever is attached, to pass through to the predefined time/date.

Specifications:
• Time displacement coeffient: ∫ dx/1 + ax = 1/a ln(1 + ax) + C
• Maximum euler logarithm:ln(cos x + i sin x) = ix
• Heat dissipation rate: ∆Q/∆t = -K×A×∆T/x
• Wavelength refraction inversion: c / λ
• Total time differentiation error rate: 10 - {g}
• Power usage: 1.21GW
• Can be retrofitted to automotive vehicles or aircraft
• Dimensions: 450(H) x 300(W) x 200(D)mm

^ good luck with it, what would be your code release naming schemes? Crunchbang followed the muppets , bunsenlabs is following the periodic table in regards to gasses and metals i think. I have a feeling you may like a type genus in the weed species, first one perhaps skunk wink

#271 Re: Devuan Derivatives » crunkbong is looking for testers » 2018-04-13 14:16:07

I gotta ask, how did you think up the name?

#272 Re: Devuan » What proprietary software does Devuan install by default? » 2018-04-13 14:00:18

Mine show this on a ascii openbox system i am using as an everyday driver.

~$ dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Package}\t${Section}\n' |grep -e non-free -e contrib
firmware-brcm80211	non-free/kernel
firmware-realtek	non-free/kernel
ttf-mscorefonts-installer	contrib/fonts

The ms fonts are there only because i want to try them out against other gnu fonts. I think in some circumstances the non free drivers for network capability are warranted, but i suppose that is not the issue here, this thread sounds very much like a repeat of another.

#273 Re: Devuan » contrib and non-free repositories should be disabled by default » 2018-04-09 11:52:40

So if non-free and contrib are enabled by default, does non-free and contrib packages get installed when you are installing a new devuan or debian system. From what little i know, the base gets installed and then configures apt then installs the rest, desktop standard utils etc? I suppose a lot of people on new hardware would probably have issues without non free software like wifi and modems, display drivers.

#274 Re: Devuan » contrib and non-free repositories should be disabled by default » 2018-04-08 13:13:31

MSI, that bug did not affect my expert install. I tested a new install tonight to re-create a standard graphical install using NETINSTALL iso and yes it does include non-free in sources.list by default. I will have to do another install using expert to confirm from my iso which i downloaded a few days after release.

#275 Re: Devuan » contrib and non-free repositories should be disabled by default » 2018-04-08 10:41:05

I think the expert install has a way of choosing what goes into the /etc/apt/sources.list

Expert install is not that hard to do btw, a few more options are available to the user.
