Linux - Snort

Hi

Need help on snort error message : cannot decode data link type 201

Thanks

Good day everyone,

I'm currently a student and as far as I'm aware I still need windows for some program I need, but I am going over to Linux.
(Thus I'm running Windows 8 at this moment)

Today I was going to install Ubuntu 14.04.01 alongside Windows 8, everything went well till I hit the 4th step (Installation type page) of the installation:

A message like follows showed:
"This computer currently has Debian GNU/Linux (Kali Linux 1.0.7) on it. What would you like to do?"

There are then 3 options available:
1) Install Ubuntu alongside Debian GNU/Linux (Kali Linux 1.0.7)
2) Replace Debian GNU/Linux (Kali Linux 1.0.7) with Ubuntu
3 and 4 is greyed out.
5) Something else (You can create resize partitions yourself, or choose multiple partitions for Ubuntu.

I just want to make sure what option to choose, I cant afford to lose all my data and windows.

Problem: Showing Kali Linux as current OS and not Windows 8.

Possible reason for showing Kali Linux as current OS:
I have a live CD of Kali Linux and ran it a few times in the past, but according to my knowledge it shouldn't have changed anything.

Maybe the 1st option is still the right one even though the current OS isn't listed right? Or the 3rd option is like a manual setting I guess.

Thanks for the time reading and helping!

We have 20 systems and I installed SQUID proxy on CENTOS to limit internet access but I'm unable to configure LAN and WAN. We have got one router in the network with 192.168.1.1 as default gateway. I installed squid successfully but unable to configure it in client systems as I'm unable to configure LAN and WAN ips in CentOS.
Please suggest me correct configuration of LAN and WAN for my network. We don't have any static IP with us. What series of IPs do I have to configure in Linux server? After that, what would be my Proxy IP?

I have basic knowledge about Linux...

Please suggest me Conf file accordlingly.

Hey all,

I've got an HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook that's been like a good friend to me in the past, but hasn't been running as well as it used to. I decided to move on to something new that I knew would work - some form of Linux. I chose Lubuntu, as I had heard so many good things about it and wouldn't need to run loads of processes.

I ran through the installer from a flash drive and installed Lubuntu 14.04 onto my machine, and was then prompted to reboot. Now I'm stuck on the Gnu Grub page, where *Ubuntu is listed instead of *Lubuntu. Whenever I hit Ubuntu to start, screen cuts to black, I see the HP logo and BIOS login note, and am dropped back in front of the Grub page. This is my first true experience with the Linux kernel (I've played with Raspbian).

Does anyone have any insight as to what's going wrong? I haven't yet been able to login and am unsure regarding where to go.

Thanks

Hi guys

I have installed Linux in a virtualbox on a windows 8 laptop. I found the screen size in the vrtualbox running ubuntu to be too small so I looked around for a solution.

I came across this

'Use Xdiagnose From the Dash, search for and launch Xdiagnose, then enable all the options under the Debug section. Click the Apply button, then close the window and restart the system. You’ll have to restart. Logging out, then in won’t do.'

After doing so my screen went from bad to worse and now I can only see a pixelated view of my screen.

Does anyone know how to work around this problem and get a bigger screen in virtualbox ?

Hi there. I have a problem installing the newest version of gnuplot which is 5.0. I downloaded it from this website (sourceforge): a source tarball. The Ubuntu 12.04 archive manager in my laptop placed it in the directory /home/alex/gnuplot-5.0.0.tar. I opened the directory/folder with a click and began reading manuals. The install procedure (read INSTALL.gnu) calls for issuing this command:

Quote:
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
`configure' itself.
It is impossible to get to the directory gnuplot-5.0.0.tar via a terminal. If I type cd gnuplot-5.0.0.tar it says that this is not a derectory. If I omit .tar it does not recognize the name at all. I tried to rename it but after that I could not open it even with a click.

What shall I do?

Thanks, - A.

Friends,

I'm completely a Linux newbie, so explain as much as possible.

I installed Linux Deepin on dual boot(practically, triple-boot).
When I select the Linux Deepin option in bootloader, I mostly get a blank screen for a long time.
After practically 2 mins, it presents with some lines of text which I, being a newbie to Linux can't comprehend and hence, cannot counter the error.
The lines go:
"
udevadm settle - timeout of 30 seconds reached, the event queue contains:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00:1d.7/usb1(1080)
/sys/devices/pci0000:00:1d.7/usb1.1-0:1-0(1081)
up waiting for root device. Common reasons for this problem:
root args(cat /proc/cmdline)
Check rootdelay = ...[There's something here I cannot recollect at the moment]
Missing modules(cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)

ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/b4b672ea-c6e5-47fe-a174-165ffde63c8 doesn't exist!
Dropped to shell!
"

Then it goes to a Ubuntu shell or something of that sort.


Surprisingly, every-time I boot into Windows and then restart my desktop and then boot to Deepin, it successfully boots in.
I have Deepin installed on external hard disk which is not very fast(just mentioned this if it is of any use.) Also, my Windows is extremely slow in booting up, it takes almost 10 mins, which is why I switched to Deepin, which boots up almost in 2 mins if it does.

Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am a new member and also new to linux, I encountered a problem, but last week I tried but did not solve

Hi,
I am trying to understand MPlayer, and am currently rebuilding some of its source code which includes C and asm files.

Most of the preprocessor symbols are defined in the config.h file, created by the configure script.

In the C files, these symbols are visible in the source by including the config.h header file.

However, in the asm files, I don't see any of such inclusion. Since the asm files also use these preprocessor symbols (e.g. ARCH_X86_64), how are they made visible during the build of the asm files?

When I try building the asm source myself, I get many errors such as:
undefined symbol `ARCH_X86_64' in preprocessor

I was wondering how this is to be done, or if someone knows specifically how this is done in the Mplayer build ?

Again, many thanks for any help you can provide!

PD.
