I use Firefox with the Privacy Badger and HTTPS Everywhere add-ons (both made by EFF). For even more privacy, use VPN and have Firefox clear your cache everytime you close it.

#203 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » VLC and Kaffeine won't install on Ascii [SOLVED] » 2018-08-17 14:33:24

What's the output of $ apt-cache policy vlc?

Also, apt-get is trying to fetch an old version of some dependencies (version 2.2.7-x) that's not in the repository anymore. What happens if you run # apt-get update && apt-get install vlc, any difference? My apologies if this is too obvious and you already tried it.

FYI this is what I see when I try to install vlc:

#204 Re: Other Issues » How to solve files hash sum mismatches when updating? » 2018-08-15 13:23:44

It seems that the repository's Packages, Packages.gz, and Packages.bz2 files recently changed but your system is still looking for the old version of these files because the repository metadata cached on your system is old.

Delete all repository metadata and try again with these commands:

# apt-get clean
# rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# apt-get update

Hopefully that'll take care of it.

What init system are you using? The rc-update and rc-service commands at the end suggest that the instructions are for openrc, which is not Devuan's default.

#206 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] how to reboot modem from router command line? » 2018-08-13 11:50:01

ralph.ronnquist, all your input gave rise to this command, which MAKES THE MODEM REBOOT smile

bruno@thinkpad:~$ id=$(wget -O- --http-user admin --http-password password http://192.168.100.1/RouterStatus.htm | perl -lne '/id=([0-9]+)/ && print $1'); wget --http-user admin --http-password password --post-data 'buttonSelect=2' http://192.168.100.1/goform/RouterStatus?id="$id"

This is exactly the kind of elegant solution I was hoping to find.

Incidentally, the id is important. If I use a random number (with the correct number of digits) or an id that showed up before, it doesn't work.

I had no idea it would turn out to be this complicated, and not in a million years could I have figured this out without your tireless help and amazing skills. Thank you so much!

(BTW, both my modem and router are in hard-to-reach places. When I've had to reboot them, it's always been a huge hassle. Now I can just push a button on my phone and it all happens automatically!)

#207 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] how to reboot modem from router command line? » 2018-08-13 00:35:35

Just a thought: When I manually click on the Reboot button, I get a popup ("Rebooting the gateway will disrupt active traffic on the network. Are you sure?" Cancel/OK). Could it be that one or more of our wget commands is successfully pressing the Reboot button but not answering "OK" to the popup? Maybe this is a stupid question because wget requests don't trigger confirmation popups since no javascript is involved?

#208 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] how to reboot modem from router command line? » 2018-08-13 00:19:57

I really didn't like my solution and as long as this remains interesting to you, I'm committed to finding a cleaner solution.

Yes, I had noticed the unexplained id=1232362831 parameter. It seems to be different each time, but it is not obvious what it is. I just ran the same command I ran in post #18 and this time it was id=1823045111, so it does not appear to be a timestamp.

I tried all three commands you suggested. While no errors were reported, none of the commands caused the modem to reboot. Here are the three commands and their terminal output, as well as the fetched file(s):

First command:

#209 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] how to reboot modem from router command line? » 2018-08-12 20:23:46

@ralph.ronnquist: Things are looking good for wget.

First, I noticed that typing "http://192.168.100/RouterStatus.htm" in my webbrowser takes me directly to the page on the modem with the Reboot button.

Then, I tried this wget command and noticed that after initial "401 Unauthorized" error, authentication succeeds:

bruno@thinkpad:~$ wget -v --http-user admin --http-password password "http://192.168.100.1/RouterStatus.htm"

If you'd like to see what "RouterStatus.htm" looks like, it is here.

The missing piece is to add something to the command that sends the appropriate button press. Any ideas?

Thank you, fsmithred. Yes, the cli installer explains it better. I get it now.

I think I screwed up an install I did recently: I checked off both 2 and 3. Does that mean root account is disabled on that machine? If so, how do I re-enable it?

#211 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] how to reboot modem from router command line? » 2018-08-12 19:20:16

Thanks for the suggestion, ralph.ronnquist. I tried searching for the Reboot button using form[0] instead of form[1] in the xpath, but no luck.

I gave up finding the Reboot button the "proper" way. For the step where Reboot button is pressed, I decided to cheat and use xdotool to simply click at the button's coordinates on the screen. So this is the kludge of a script I came up with to reboot my modem from the command line:

#!/usr/bin/python

from selenium import webdriver
import time
import os

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://admin:password@192.168.100.1/')
time.sleep(5)
alert = browser.switch_to_alert()
alert.accept()
time.sleep(5)
advancedTab = browser.find_element_by_link_text('ADVANCED')
advancedTab.click()
time.sleep(5)
os.system('xdotool mousemove --sync 650 420; xdotool click --repeat 1 --delay 125 1')
time.sleep(5)
alert = browser.switch_to_alert()
alert.accept() 

I find my solution ugly to the point of being offensive, but it will tide me over until I find something better--an excursion into wget is definitely in order. If I discover something elegant, I'll make sure to post it here.

#212 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] how to reboot modem from router command line? » 2018-08-12 11:34:58

I was unable to make any progress with curl, but was able to make progress using python and its selenium module:

#!/usr/bin/python

import time
from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://admin:password@192.168.100.1/')
time.sleep(5)
alert = browser.switch_to_alert()
alert.accept()
time.sleep(5)
advancedTab = browser.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/table[2]/tbody/tr/td/ul/li[2]/a/span')
advancedTab.click()
time.sleep(5)
rebootButon = browser.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/form[1]/div/div/div/table/tbody/tr[1]/td/div/div[1]/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[10]/td/button[2]')
rebootButton.click()

This script gets me to the second screenshot in post #7. It then gets stuck at the next to last line because while the Reboot button is clearly visible to me (I can hover over it, view its attributes, copy its xpath and, of course, manually click it if I want), selenium cannot find the Reboot button. I tried many of the browser's find_element_by_* methods, trying to match on all of the button's attributes I could think of. There must be something very strange about how the modem's web interface was put together. Any ideas, or should I ask in a python/selenium forum?

P.S. I did some searches on how to trigger an onclick function (advButtonClick(2) in this case) in selenium without actually clicking the button, and did not find anything.

#213 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] how to reboot modem from router command line? » 2018-08-11 22:57:38

Wow, ralph.ronnquist, you know your stuff. Thank you so much for all you help so far.

There are a lot of tips in your post. Hopefully somewhere in this treasure trove I will find the answer. I'll try different things based on your guidance and will report back when I hit a snag or find a solution.

(Incidentally, I never thought the answer to my question would be so complicated. On the one hand it is stressful. On the other hand, it forces me to learn some new things.)

#215 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] how to reboot modem from router command line? » 2018-08-11 18:48:51

I saved all the html code of the modem's web interface (from Firefox's File -> Save page as -> Web page, complete), and found this in the RouterStatus.html file (note the code under index==2):

function advButtonClick(index){

    if(index==0) // Show Statistics
        openStatisticsWindow();
    else if(index==1)
    {    
        openStatusWindow();
		// document.forms[0].buttonSelect.value="1";
    }
    else if(index==2)
    {
        if(confirm("Rebooting the gateway will disrupt active traffic on the network. Are you sure?"))
        {
            document.forms[0].buttonSelect.value="2";
            document.forms[0].submit(document.forms[0]);
        }
    }
	else if (index==3)
	{
		if(confirm("Loading the factory default settings will erase all the current settings. Are you sure?"))
        {
            document.forms[0].buttonSelect.value="3";
            document.forms[0].submit(document.forms[0]);
        }
	}
}

If anyone knows how to trigger the reboot function (including authenticating and answering in the affirmative the "are you sure?" question) from the command line, I would buy you a case of beer smile I'm totally stuck at this point, as I know relatively little about web design and, besides, I don't understand why curl fails to authenticate given that the username and password are definitely correct.

#216 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] how to reboot modem from router command line? » 2018-08-11 13:27:13

I'm using Firefox 59, which does have an inspect tool. Result of inspecting the Reboot button:

reboot.png

I don't see a url associated with the reboot button, but onclick="advButtonClick(2)" looks promising. Any ideas where to go from there?

Also, wget and curl cannot authenticate, even though username and password are correct (yes, the default password is "password"):

Here is what I see when I point browser to http://192.168.100.1, after entering username and password:
1.jpg

After clicking on "Advanced" I see this:
2.jpg

Then clicking on "Reboot" reboots the router.

Any idea how I would script visiting http://192.168.100.1 (with username and password), then clicking on "Advanced", waiting a moment, then clicking on "Reboot"?

#218 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] how to reboot modem from router command line? » 2018-08-11 12:11:18

Thank you, ralph.ronnquist. That didn't work but when I added a gateway to your suggestion, it works:

route add 192.168.100.1 gw 73.226.66.1 dev eth0

Now the router can reach the modem regardless of whether openvpn is running or not.

So back to the original question. Right now I can only reboot the modem using the web interface. The curl command doesn't work, and my guess is that it's because the url the person in the Netgear forum was using (http://192.168.100.1/goform/RouterStatus) doesn't actually exist: Regardless of what buttons I press on the web interface, the address shown in the browser's address bar remains simply 192.168.100.1. I'll post some screenshots in a bit.

I think a CLI solution to rebooting the router would require scripting a visit to http://192.168.100.1, clicking on a button, waiting a moment, then clicking on another button.

#219 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] how to reboot modem from router command line? » 2018-08-11 02:00:04

I am able to reboot modem from router, using modem's web interface. I'll figure out the curl syntax when I solve this problem:

Router runs openvpn so that all devices in my LAN are on VPN automatically. Problem is that router can only connect to modem at 192.168.100.1 when openvpn isn't running. When openvpn is running, router can't reach the modem.

Here is the output of some commands I ran in the router when openvpn is OFF and router CAN connect to modem:

It seems when openvpn is on, router tries reaching modem via tun0 interface. I think what I need is to tell the router to never use tun0 when trying to reach the modem. Unfortunately my network skills are mediocre so it's unlikely I can figure this out on my own.

At the new hostname and new username step of refractainstaller, it asks three questions about sudo. I'm a little bit confused as to what the questions are getting at.

"Permit sudo for new user?"
This is pretty clear to me.

"Use sudo as default for new user?"
I'm not sure what this means.
Checking this box will cause sudo to be used in the new installation in which situations?
Default for what?

"Use sudo only for shutdown?"
Does this mean sudo is enabled for user but only for shutdown command?
Does checking this box contradict checking the boxes for questions 1 and/or 2?

I had done some searches, but didn't uncover anything promising. I'll try my luck with what you found. Thank you.

I have a GNU/Linux netbook which functions as my home router. The netbook is connected to a Netgear CM400 cable modem. The netbook is highly customized but the modem has not been modified in any way whatsoever.

Rebooting the netbook/router remotely is trivial, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to reboot the modem. Does anybody know how to reboot a modem remotely or from a shell running in one's router?

It is unacceptable that my ISP provider knows how to reboot my modem remotely, but I do not. I'd really like to know how to do this.

Hi, Gregor. I don't use rhythmbox but can imagine that it keeps all your personal settings (including song ratings) somewhere in your home folder. Look for a folder such as /home/gregor/.rhythmbox or /home/gregor/.config/rhythmbox.

If you upgrade without wiping your home folder, rhythmbox should behave as before without any intervention from you. Nevertheless, I'd copy the rhythmbox config folder to a flashdrive just in case.

paulwratt, in Devuan jessie I had problems with apt-file not finding Contents-arch.gz, it may be related to your issue:

In Devuan ASCII the problem went away.
