systemsettings and tdenetworkmanager switching between wired and wireless problem with DNS server
by Uwe Brauer 16 Sep '16

16 Sep '16

Hi - I used /opt/trinity/bin/systemsettings for setting the wired net - and tdenetworkmanager for the wireless net. Maybe this is not smart and I had no problems, when passing from wired --> wireless but problems when passing from wireless --> wired since the wireless deleted the DNS server entries in the resolv.conf So usually I manually copied a backup of resolv.conf to /etc and run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart But this does not work anymore in 14.04 as we discussed. So what is the smart way of configuring wired/wireless and what is the smart way of switching between wired/wireless???? Relying entirely on systemsettings or on tdenetworkmanager? Uwe Brauer

Kubuntu 14.04 and trinity:problems with wired network
by Uwe Brauer 14 Sep '16

14 Sep '16

Hi This is the first time I have such an experience. I installed Kubuntu 14.04 and trinity via deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb trusty deps-r14 main-r14 deb-src http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb trusty deps-r14 main-r14 Everything went smooth wireless net can be configured with tdenetworkmanager, but when I try to set up the wired net, via the networktool I run into a problem. I use all the parameters I used in previous trinity + Kubuntu installations (namely 10.04 and 12.04) static IP number DNS server Gateway. The connection works for a couple of seconds and then crashes the problem see to be the Gateway, when I restart the configuration tool the value has been deleted. Anybody has an idea what do? That is a very serious problem, right now use the Wifi connection, but this has severe restriction in the network I am using. Thanks Uwe Brauer

KMilo not working on ThinkPad R61 with Debian Wheezy
by Jan Stolarek 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

Dear Trinity users, I can't get KMilo plugin to work on my ThinkPad R61 under Debian Wheezy. Firstly, I need kmilo-legacy-trinity for the KMilo plugin to show up in the Control Center. The /dev/nvram device exists and has corect permissions (666). I select the checkbox to activate KMilo but nothing happens. None of the special buttons work, eg. when I press the ThinkVantage button it does not launch Konsole. The only things that work are sound and brightness control buttons, but these used to work without KMilo. Also, I believe KMilo should provide a nice OSD for sound and brightness changes but I have no OSD when changing any of these. Can anyone offer suggestions how to solve, or at least diagnose, the problem?

fail2ban advice needed
by Gene Heskett 28 Aug '16

28 Aug '16

Greetings all; Is there someone familiar with fail2ban here? I just installed it and started it with the installation defaults, which I do not know since the init script has no "dump" option. However that bit of hungry guard dog only protects this machine, leaving the other 4 or sometimes 5 on my local network still open. So specifically, is there a way to broadcast the rules it applies to the other 4 or 5 machines, protecting them at the same time? Or possibly broadcast them to the router, which is running dd-wrt, and which is considered one of the more bulletproof reflash's about. I may be lucky, but since I do have a port forward to allow my web server, there is a potential attack point. Advice to a fail2ban new bee? Thank you.

See the announcement on /. today & read the link to the post from the guys that found it that is in the story, UCsomething IIRC, see below. A closer read may answer it. <https://ucrtoday.ucr.edu/39030> And please keep things like this on the list you read it from. A PM is unfair to the other readers of the list you read it on, so I'll cc the three lists it was cross posted to as it sounds pretty serious to me. And I just noted that the sysctl command you quoted above is incorrect, its sysctl -p, not sysctl.p. Maybe that helps?

Workaround for serious TCP exploit
by Felmon Davis 10 Aug '16

10 Aug '16

Greets! what must we who are using trinity do to avoid the tcp exploit? I found the following instructions from L. Weinstein's privacy mail list but they don't corrrespond to anything in my sysctl.conf. Felmon ----- quote ----- Workaround for serious TCP exploit previously discussed https://plus.google.com/+LaurenWeinstein/posts/gWSj2sYExoB Here is the recommended workaround for Linux/Android clients/servers for the serious TCP exploit discussed in: https://threatpost.com/serious-tcp-bug-in-linux-systems-allows-traffic-hija… This one will work for Ubuntu as is, and for various other Linux distributions with suitable modifications. The point is to bump the ACK limit way up. Note that some of the pages announcing this exploit appear to be contaminated with browser hijack "fake technical support" warning sites. Beware. Close your browser immediately if you hit one if you can, otherwise reboot and don't restore crashed pages. The workaround for the TCP exploit: Open /etc/sysctl.conf, append a command: /net.ipv4/tcp_challenge_ack_limit = 999999999 Use "sysctl -p" to update the configuration. _______________________________________________ privacy mailing list https://lists.vortex.com/mailman/listinfo/privacy
