[125006660010] |Stealth Checking Xbox 360 Games With abgx360 and Nautilus
[125006660020] |If you’re like me, you’ve jumped through a million hoops to get abgx360gui working.
[125006660030] |But you can only get the command line interface working.
[125006660040] |No problem, we’ll create a script for Nautilus to easily launch abgx360 to check your Xbox 360 games.
[125006660050] |First off, we need to make sure abgx360 is installed properly. wget http://abgx360.x-scene.com/abgx360-1.0.1.tar.gz
[125006660060] |Unzip the archive tar -zxvf abgx360-1.0.1.tar.gz
[125006660070] |Change to the abgx360 directory cd abgx360-1.0.1/
[125006660080] |Configure the files to prepare installation ./configure &&make
[125006660090] |Install abgx360 (checkinstall is recommended for Debian/Ubuntu systems) sudo checkinstall -D
[125006660100] |Simply hit Enter when asked about configuring the install.
[125006660110] |You don’t have to change anything.
[125006660120] |The normal use for abgx360 is: abgx360 -af3 /path/to/iso
[125006660130] |That’s great, however I’m sure you would like to automate this command more.
[125006660140] |So we’ll be setting up a Nautilus script to launch abgx360 and stealth check your game nice and quick, without having to type in a command each time.
[125006660150] |Nautilus scripts are placed in the following folder (on 9.04 anyway): ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
[125006660160] |So create a new file called “Verify Stealth”: gedit ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/'Verify Stealth'
[125006660170] |In the new file, paste the following in and save: #!/bin/bash gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=abgx360 -x abgx360 -af3 $1
[125006660180] |To ensure we can run the script, let’s set the permissions to be able to execute it: sudo chmod 777 ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/'Verify Stealth'
[125006660190] |Now, in order for this script to function properly, we need to make some slight adjustments with gnome-terminal, so go ahead and open it up: gnome-terminal
[125006660200] |Go to Edit >Profiles >New >call it abgx360 (base it on default, it doesn’t matter)
[125006660210] |On the General tab, uncheck the box Show menubar by default in new terminals.
[125006660220] |Click on the Title and Command tab and change the option: When command exits: to Hold the terminal open.
[125006660230] |Now click on the Colors tab.
[125006660240] |Uncheck Use colors from system theme.
[125006660250] |Choose #FFFFFF as the text color, and #2E3436 as the background. (#2E3436 is the background color abgx360 uses by default)
[125006660260] |Now it’s time to test out our script.
[125006660270] |Use Nautilus to browse to a folder with a Xbox360 iso/image in it.
[125006660280] |Right click the image file, and go to Scripts >Verify Stealth.
[125006660290] |Assuming everything works for you, abgx360 should launch in gnome-terminal, check the image, and proceed to verify it.
[125006660300] |Notes: In gnome-terminal, we removed the menu bar for the abgx360 profile, and also adjusted the colors, so that it fits the default color scheme in abgx360.
[125006660310] |If you remember in the source of the Nautilus script, we told gnome-terminal to use the abgx360 profile when using this script.
[125006660320] |Also the command in the script tells abgx360 to auto-fix at level 3 (AutoFix if stealth passes but fails verification).
[125006660330] |You may remove the -af3 option if you want.
[125006660340] |That’s it, you should be able to check and verify your Xbox360 games now through GUI without having to install the GUI version of abgx360!

[125006820020] |This tutorial will explain Howto configure PPTP VPN in Ubuntu Intrepid and Jaunty Method 1
[125006820030] |Preparing your system
[125006820040] |First you need to install the following packages
[125006820050] |sudo apt-get install pptp-linux ppp pptpd
[125006820060] |Configuration
[125006820070] |First you need to edit /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file
[125006820080] |sudo gedit /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
[125006820090] |add the following line
[125006820100] |Username PPTP Password *
[125006820110] |Save and exit the file
[125006820120] |Create /etc/ppp/peers/vpn1 file using the following command.The ‘peers’ folder may be owned by group ‘dip’ so get around that by adding yourself to the group .
[125006820130] |touch /etc/ppp/peers/vpn1
[125006820140] |sudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/vpn1
[125006820150] |Add the following to the vpn1 file
[125006820160] |pty “pptp remote.gateway.address.here --nolaunchpppd” name Username remotename PPTP require-mppe-128 file /etc/ppp/options.pptp ipparam vpn1 mru 1412 mtu 1412
[125006820170] |Edit the options.pptp file as required. commented out the ‘refuse-chap’ and ‘refuse-mschap-v2′ lines.
[125006820180] |Establish the VPN connection with
[125006820190] |sudo pppd call vpn1
[125006820200] |or
[125006820210] |sudo pon vpn1
[125006820220] |Drop the connection when you’re done with
[125006820230] |sudo poff vpn1
[125006820240] |create ‘/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/route-traffic’ as follows.
[125006820250] |#!/bin/bash NET=”10.0.0.0/8″ IFACE=”ppp0″ route add -net ${NET} dev ${IFACE}
[125006820260] |Make the file executable using the following command
[125006820270] |sudo chmod 755 /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/route-traffic
[125006820280] |Replace the “10.0….” address with the range of addresses you need to access on your remote machine.
[125006820290] |So, to get the VPN up in Jaunty, Do the following (in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d)
[125006820300] |sudo pon vpn1
[125006820310] |sudo ./route-traffic
[125006820320] |Method 2
[125006820330] |Using GUI
[125006820340] |From the network manager in the upper right hand corner of your desktop.
[125006820350] |Click on “VPN Connections”, then “Configure VPN…”
[125006820360] |In the Network Connections window, select your VPN Connection and then click the “Edit” button.
[125006820370] |In the “Editing Your_VPN PPTP” window, click on the “IPv4 Settings” and then the “Routes…” button.
[125006820380] |In the “Editing IPv4 routes….” window, check the box for “Use this connection only for resources on its network”.
[125006820390] |Now click the “Add” button.I added the Address/Netmask/Gateway information I had to click each box as it seemed to loose the curser position.
[125006820400] |In my case I work address were in the XXX.YYY.0.0 range so I used a netmask of 255.255.0.0.
[125006820410] |I set the Gateway to my local router which is 192.168.1.1 (pretty standard).
[125006820420] |I also used the value “1″ for the Metric.
[125006820430] |I had to click the “Add” button.
[125006820440] |This was the only way I could get it to take.
[125006820450] |Here was another little tip.
[125006820460] |While attempting to use this GUI we ended up with several empty routes by accident.
[125006820470] |The GUI would not let me click on “OK” until we deleted all the empty routes.
[125006820480] |Just try clicking below your last route.
[125006820490] |If you are able to make a selection, you have an empty route.
[125006820500] |Just click the “Delete” button and you should be good.
[125006820510] |Click on “OK”, then “Apply”, then “Close”.
[125006820520] |Now test your VPN and see if it works any better.
[125006820530] |Jaunty Users Tip
[125006820540] |- When you configure the VPN connexion, go to the “advanced” settings”
[125006820550] |- Uncheck “EAP” at the top

[125006840010] |How to setup Cisco VPN using VPNC Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)
[125006840020] |This guide is for ubuntu users who want to connect to Cisco VPN.
[125006840030] |We will be using VPNC (it is in ubuntu 9.04 repo).
[125006840040] |This guide assumes you have profile file in .pcf format (we will use cisco.pcf as an example here).
[125006840050] |Let’s begin and follow the steps exactly replacing your own pcf file:
[125006840060] |Open terminal and run the following commands
[125006840070] |* Create a directory
[125006840080] |mkdir vpnclient
[125006840090] |Change to that directory:
[125006840100] |cd vpnclient
[125006840110] |* Download cisco-decrypt file which will be used to decrypt the group password from your pcf file:
[125006840120] |wget http://www.debuntu.org/files/cisco-decrypt.c
[125006840130] |sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11-dev
[125006840140] |gcc -Wall -o cisco-decrypt cisco-decrypt.c $(libgcrypt-config --libs --cflags)
[125006840150] |chmod +x cisco-decrypt
[125006840160] |sudo cp cisco-decrypt /usr/bin
[125006840170] |* Download pcf2vpnc to convert pcf files in vpnc configuration format
[125006840180] |wget http://svn.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/vpnc/trunk/pcf2vpnc
[125006840190] |chmod +x pcf2vpnc
[125006840200] |sudo cp pcf2vpnc /usr/bin
[125006840210] |* Go to windows vpn profiles directory and convert .pcf files to .conf files
[125006840220] |pcf2vpnc cisco.pcf >cisco.conf
[125006840230] |Note:replace above cisco.pcf with your own .pcf file.
[125006840240] |sudo cp cisco.conf /etc/vpnc/
[125006840250] |* install vpnc and connect to vpn
[125006840260] |sudo apt-get install vpnc resolvconf
[125006840270] |sudo vpnc cisco
[125006840280] |Enter username for : Enter password for : VPNC started in background (pid: 6092)…
[125006840290] |* To disconnect simply do
[125006840300] |sudo vpnc-disconnect
[125006840310] |After your VPN has been established then connect to your remote desktop
[125006840320] |Go to Applications >>Internet >>Terminal server client
[125006840330] |Or

[125006850010] |WineXS - Simple graphical environment to configure Wine
[125006850020] |Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix.Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs.
[125006850030] |Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available.
[125006850040] |Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris.
[125006850050] |WineXS allows you to easily configure Wine by installing and removing software, editing the registry, managing files, and more.
[125006850060] |Install WineXS in Ubuntu
[125006850070] |first you need to download the file from where you want to run this installation in this example i am using /home/user
[125006850080] |$cd /home/user

[125006960160] |From the Type drop-down list, choose Location. b.
[125006960170] |In the Name box, type a shortcut name for the file, e.g. ‘Finance’ c.
[125006960180] |In the Command option, click on Browse and navigate to the file of interest in the Choose a File... window.
[125006960190] |Highlight the file and choose Open. d. Back in the Create Launcher window, you can add a Comment, too, e.g. ‘Household budget’ e. Choose OK.
[125006960200] |7. Repeat from step 4 to add another file.
[125006960210] |After you’ve added your favorite files, click on Drawer to open it, and you’ll see a stack of icons.
[125006960220] |Hover your mouse over an icon and two lines of text will appear: the top line is from Name and the bottom line from Comment.
[125006960230] |Click on the icon and the selected file will open in the default application for that file type.
[125006960240] |Now for the tweaks and issues:
[125006960250] |1. To preserve the vertical order of file launch icons in Drawer, you need to lock the icons in position by right-clicking each one and choosing Lock to Panel.
[125006960260] |2. You can have a different icon for each file launcher.
[125006960270] |Right-click on an icon and choose Properties.
[125006960280] |A Launcher Properties window opens.
[125006960290] |Click on the icon image at top left, and a Browse Icons window opens.
[125006960300] |Icons are displayed from the folder /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/.
[125006960310] |There are other nice scalable icons in the various folders at /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable, which you can get to by choosing Browse... in the Browse Icons window.
[125006960320] |To save time, you can create an ‘Icons’ folder in your home folder, and copy to it the icons you like best.
[125006960330] |You can preview the installed icons in Ubuntu and do the copying to that new folder using your Nautilus file browser.
[125006960340] |Cool icons from the Web can be downloaded and put in your Icons folder, too.
[125006960350] |Navigate to this new Icons folder to choose icons for the launchers in Drawer.
[125006960360] |3. Be sure to choose Location in step 6a, above.
[125006960370] |If you leave the choice of Type as Application, you’ll get an error message, because the application doesn’t live at the address you specified in step 6c.

[125006980010] |New Look for Ubuntu Network Installs
[125006980020] |In our LoCo team (Ubuntu Massachusetts LoCo) we’ve been configuring a lovely tftp/pxe boot installer system that allows refurbished computers to be installed ridiculously easily via PXE booting.
[125006980030] |I’ve just completed a redesign of how it looks:
[125006980040] |As you can see we have the facility to also install Lab machines with configurations that will use the LDAP and have hand picked and custom packages for the lab (this allows easy repair and setting up of lab machines as well).
[125006980050] |There are still quirks and such, we can’t yet get it to install ubuntu restricted extras by default, although we have gotten skype, libdvdcss2 and java to install by default, but once sorted out these OEM machine installs will have all the updates, all the common desktop packages, anything extra we want to add including replacement gdm theme or extra docs / manuals and it’s must less hassle than a CD or USB boot media.

[125006990020] |How to install a Line6 Guitar Port (and the toneport With a very big thanks to Myhrman from Source Forge for helping me get this thing working and a big thanks to Grabner for providing the drivers for something that seems to be non existant for linux!
[125006990030] |This is to get the Guitar Port to work as a basic USB sound device so you will get a dry signal in and out that will work under OSS and Jack.
[125006990040] |Note: Myhrman says it should work with most toneports too but neither of us have one to test it out.
