This is an collection of problems and bugs I had with Backtrack 5 R2 (Linux based Distribution).
To download Backtrack look at http://www.backtrack-linux.org/downloads/
Ubuntu software centre and update manager
For more Software, I installed the ubuntu software centre with this command:
|
1 |
sudo apt-get install software-center |
then run a update:
|
1 |
sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade |
now you could choose your software sources at:
System > Administration > Software Sources
If you want the Update manager, run this:
|
1 |
sudo apt-get install update-manager |
Or you could add the ubuntu repository to your system, just open the “/etc/apt/sources.list” file and generate a list from http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/generate.php, now you could add what you want.
NVIDIA or ATI/AMD driver
NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.de/Download/indexsg.aspx?lang=de
just run it from your download folder.
ATI/AMD: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspxÂ
Code:
|
1 2 3 |
sudo sh amd-driver.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/lucid sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb sudo aticonfig --initial -f |
After a reboot you could check your driver status with:
|
1 |
fglrxinfo |
Network
If you need more features at your network just install what you need:
network-manager-openvpn – network management framework (OpenVPN plugin core)
network-manager-openvpn-gnome – Network Management framework (OpenVPN plugin GNOME GUI)
network-manager-pptp – network management framework (PPTP plugin)
network-manager-pptp-gnome – network management framework (PPTP plugin)
network-manager-vpnc – network management framework (VPNC plugin core)
network-manager-vpnc-gnome – network management framework (VPNC plugin GNOME GUI)
network-manager – network management framework daemon
network-manager-dev – network management framework (development files)
network-manager-gnome – network management framework (GNOME frontend)

Add the Network icon to the panel:
|
1 2 3 4 |
echo auto lo > /etc/network/interfaces echo iface lo inet loopback >> /etc/network/interfaces service network-manager start nm-applet & |
network is blocked
To solved this run this:

Thats a very good Tutorial, including the solutions for the bugs, could you make another one for kali linux, its newer and I think more people would use it ?
This design is incredible! You certainly know how to keep a reader amused.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job.
I really loved what you had to say, and more than that,
how you presented it. Too cool!|
Hey there! I could have sworn I’ve been to
this blog before but after reading through some of
the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m
definitely glad I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!
