/etc/network/interfaces configuration for 802.1x authentication

Saeid Zebardast — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 06:14:08 +0000

Hey

I have a problem with adjust Network Manager for 802.x1 Tunneled TLS (TTLS) and MD5 in Ubuntu. MD5 does not exist in `Inner Authentication` when I choose TTLS.
I was forced to enter the settings to interfaces file (/etc/network/interfaces). Interfaces file content is shown below:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address xx.xx.xx.xx
netmask xx.xx.xx.xx
gateway xx.xx.xx.xx
wpa-driver wired
wpa-eap TTLS MD5
wpa-key-mgmt IEEE8021X
wpa-anonymous-identity USER_NAME
wpa-identity USER_NAME
wpa-password PASSWORD
wpa-phase1 auth=MD5
wpa-phase2 auth=PAP password=PASSWORD

Also you can use Open1X (XSupplicant).

• Network 802.1x Authentication
• Open1X (XSupplicant)

Have a good time

Installing Sun JDK 5 on Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04

Saeid Zebardast — Mon, 03 May 2010 02:21:19 +0000

Hello

As you known, Sun JDK version 1.5 or 5 is deleted from Ubuntu 10.4 and 9.10 repositories and the version 6 has been replaced.

The easiest way to install Sun JDK 5 version is add its repository from Ubuntu 9.04 to the list of repositories in 9.10 and 10.04. For this purpose, follow the steps.

1- Open /etc/apt/sources.list with a text editor like gedit:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

2- Add the following lines to the end of the file then save it and close:

  ## For sun-java5-jdk
 deb http://ir.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-updates main multiverse

3- Update the packages lists and install sun-java5-jdk:

 sudo aptitude update
 sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jdk

* Above method can be used for other applications.

Another way to install jdk 5 is download software package and its dependencies from packages.ubuntu.com.

Good luck

Webmin, Installing on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10)

Saeid Zebardast — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 19:48:10 +0000

Hi
I wrote post about Webmin in ITPencil. My Persian friend like it. I decide to write post about Webmin and how to installing it on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10).
It’s very good for newbie.

from webmin.com:

Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely.

Installing Webmin On Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10)
Webmin has some dependency package.
Install dependencies:

sudo aptitude install bash perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl \
libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl

After install dependencies, you can download and install Webmin. Last version of Webmin is 1.390.
Download Webmin:

sudo wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.390_all.deb

Install Webmin:

sudo dpkg -i webmin*.deb

Log in and use it:
Copy this URL into your web browser: https://localhost:10000

• Apache Webserver

• System Documentation

• Scheduled Cron jobs

Check out the screenshots.

How to install gOS on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon

Saeid Zebardast — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 13:56:11 +0000

I installed gOS on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.
It’s nice but I prefer Gnome ~~windows~~ desktop environment.

If you want to install gOS , from terminal do the following (ONE LINE AT A TIME HITTING ENTER AFTER EACH STEP):

Adding gOS repositories

echo "deb http://packages.thinkgos.com/gos/ painful main"\
 | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

echo "deb-src http://packages.thinkgos.com/gos/ painful main"\
 | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

In the terminal enter the command to import the public key of the repository so that the signatures could be verified as follows :
```
wget -q http://www.thinkgos.com/files/gos_repo_key.asc -O-\
 | sudo apt-key add -
```
Next update your apt cache database using the command :
```
sudo apt-get update
```
To install the necessary files which will allow you to run gOS on Ubuntu, run the following apt-get command :
```
sudo apt-get install greenos-desktop
```
If you do not have enlightenment (e17) window manager (WM), then apt-get will have to download and install that too which could hike your download size by around 35 MB.

Once installed, you can select gOS/Enlightenment from sessions option in your login screen.

Good Luck

Root Terminal in Ubuntu

Root Terminal in Ubuntu

Saeid Zebardast — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 08:38:07 +0000

Hi
Ubuntu has the root account disabled.
You use sudo to run commands as root. if you need root access for some work:

To start a root shell, but keep the current shell’s environment, use:
```
sudo -s
```
To start a root shell (i.e. a command window where you can run root commands), starting root’s environment and login scripts, use:
```
sudo -i
```

There is also a root terminal that is in the Applications menu. You have to right-click to edit the menu’s and add a check to the root terminal in System Tools items.

Don’t forget to type ‘exit’ (or press Ctrl+D) to switch back to your normal user when you are done.
