Seamonkey not to be used ?

#196 Post by Pelo »

"1. Puli does not support Seamonkey but Chrome, Iron, Slimjet and Firefox. Means neither the auto-recognition nor the improved security features are configured for Seamonkey in the /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser or in the /usr/local/bin/defaulthtmlviewer scripts. You can utilize the Firefox part and tailor it for Seamonkey, however. "
Ok so i will remove it. For test i downloaded Griffith from the PPM. All things get well, dependancies too (13MB)
Seamonkey not to be used ? Why ? Firefox will be ok, don't mind.
Elinks is a browser, really ?

As I wrote, neither the auto-recognition nor the improved security features are configured for Seamonkey in the /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser or in the /usr/local/bin/defaulthtmlviewer scripts Note that additional browser specific scripts are called from there.
You can utilize the Firefox part and tailor it for Seamonkey, however.

Comments:
  • In the above text, "auto-recognition" means" that after clicking the browse desktop icon, Puli recognizes the highest priority browser among the installed ones and opens it as spot user. For example, Seamonkey can be opened only from the right-click menu and the user rights (root / spot) are based on the (Seamonkey specific) settings of the install package.

    "Improved security features" means that Puli provides the built-in security profiles (mild, rigorous, crazy, lazy) for only the supported browsers.

    No technical objections against Seamonkey as far as I know.

    Elinks (more precisely, Links, see at http://links.twibright.com/) is a minimal-feature-set browser with graphical interface - its visualization reminds me to dillo. The main advantages come from its missing features: you can enjoy the quick response time, the missing advertisements and that it can display the blocked content of some websites :)
Have fun!

remember network printers

#198 Post by tirdoldog »

@gjuhasz: every time I boot I have to reinstall my network printers because of firewall interference. They work fine with the firewall once installed in CUPS but backups or smartsaves are no good for persistance. Do you have this problem? If not can you provide an example for me to use ? I have never manually edited a firewall and could use an example. Firewall genie is only good for one session so does not solve the problem of reinstallation.

Dear tirdoldog,

Once you configured the firewall not to interfere with the network printer, you can copy the /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall script to the patch structure of your USB boot device as /patch/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
Alternatively, if you use your pendrive to boot multiple machines in different environments, you can configure "per-machine" firewalls for them. In this case, copy the per-machine tailored rc.firewall script(s) into the /env-<macaddress> folder(s) instead of the /patch folder.

Have fun!

Dear Pelo,

Your password is stored in the following files in encrypted form:

/etc/passwd
/etc/passwd-
/etc/shadow
/etc/shadow-

If you select Save:smart, then Puli stores these files in /patch/etc/ folder of your boot device.

Read my PM if you forgot your passwd.

Have fun!

Puli is a defense dog, i was said by s-kami.

#205 Post by Pelo »

"The ultimate defense against web attacks. Intended to boot from a USB pendrive"
Would that mean that Puli need defense here and is unmasked in Facebook ? Do we need an avatar on our forum like a war name ?
Nevertheles, i like he hungarian puli... Which is a defense dog, i was said by s-kami. But However, any puppy can destroy my Puli, and edit his sfs. to change it..
You must re-inforce the defense ! :evil:

MTpaint is a strange version

#206 Post by Pelo »

Puli installed laptop Medion Akoya p7624 without trouble, in spite of zip is different than ISO. It contains Firefox to change elinks, frigthening browser for people not used with it. I never succeeded to get it working.
Version tahrpup 6.0.5 is fast.
MTpaint is a strange version, unusual. What has been changed in it ?
But it works well .

Puli would of much interest for people in France.

#207 Post by Pelo »

sure i am sure Puli would of much interest for people in France. But if English is not really a problem for teenagers and their smartphones, our generation born with pup music and flowers in the hair is now around 50, 60 even 70, and does not want to use English. So for them i added the fr language pack. However they speak English not bad at all.
French post in Spanish and Germany forum. Skamilinux-HU promote french Puppies. Thank you for that, hungarian dev !

#209 Post by Pelo »

Caution : i am a poor learning pupil, for your Puli, result will not be in the charts of international movies :)

II will give you the link to youtube. then you will inform is that is convenient for you. Some puppy builders don't like my tutorials, so i delete them, because in am only training (learning).
Things are going wrong, my video is completely garbled. :? Firefox updated to version 45, To get YouTube video tools available (titles, annotations, and so on..)
try to upload with firefox 45, sometimes browser is the reason of bad quality.
Video for preview by Puli users. (avant-première, means by VIPs) Clap on the blue.

Thank you, nice video...
Firefox updated to version 45
Let me propose to give my firefox453.pet a try. Available as http://smokey01.com/gjuhasz/packages/firefox453.pet
You can smartload it and run it as spot (e.g., by clicking the "browse" icon or from the menu).


Have fun!

package Fr is really well done...

#211 Post by Pelo »

package Fr is really well done... There is no English word lost here and there. Merci to the french team that does this huge work for our french speaking Puppy users (most of them should not use Puppy if not translated).
Hungarian team has translated ToOpPy 2 to HU ??? !!!
I like hungarian Puppies.. :!: nice remasterizations.

DirtyCow

#212 Post by gjuhasz »

From https://github.com/dirtycow/dirtycow.gi ... ityDetails:

Impact
  • · An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to gain write access to otherwise read-only memory mappings and thus increase their privileges on the system.
    · This flaw allows an attacker with a local system account to modify on-disk binaries, bypassing the standard permission mechanisms that would prevent modification without an appropriate permission set.
For Puppy linux, this kernel bug can be ignored because

1. most of the processes run by root as the default user is root
2. cannot be activated by remote users until they break in the system in another way.

However, a browser can be infected by a malicious code to activate this exploit if it runs as spot.

I reckon that Puli (see http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=96964) provides more defense thus it can successfully block the effect of a hacker attack which tries to utilize DirtyCow.
  • · First, because exploits attacking based on DirtyCow mostly want to access to the disks - but, as you know, the pendrive can be unplugged and the hard disks are rarely mounted.
    · Second, because, especially in its Lazy profile, Puli makes the /bin folder inaccessible thus those utilities remain hidden during browsing.
    Note that the demo exploits such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEsshExn7aE actively use the /bin folder.
Have fun!

How to play audio CDs

#214 Post by gjuhasz »

Pelo wrote:gjuhasz , what about Cd player
Dear Pelo,

Puli 6.0.5 does not incude mplayer. CDs can be listened either with DeadBeef or VLC.

If you have a CD in the tray, you see a CD icon among the drives - labeled probably sr0.

1. Play with DeadBeef:
  • Click on the CD icon to open DeadBeef.
    Select File > Add Audio CD. The playlist appears.
    Click on the Play icon in the toolbar.
2. Play with VLC:
  • Click on the Play desktop icon. VLC opens.
    Select Media > Open Disc. In the Disk selection tab, select Audio CD and click Play.
    The playlist appears, playing starts.
See the attached picture.

FYI: You can use Asunder for ripping the CD.

Have fun!

Regards,

gjuhasz
