Guide to BackTrack5-Gnome self-Configuration

0 × 00 preparation
Take the bt5-gnome as an example, mainly installed under the Vm. I will not go into details about how to install ISO. Google yourself. For more information about partitions, see the documentation in the appendix.
 
0 × 01 Chinese
After installing the system, the first thing must be finished in Chinese. If the Vm's Internet access mode is set to NAT, the network can be connected by default.
Enable console. Start apt-get. The command is as follows:
Apt-get install synaptic language-pack-gnome-zh language-support-zh gnome-system-tools language-selector gnome-utils update-manager software-center tsclient vinagre
It is explained that we should be familiar with ubuntu. I personally think that vinagre and tsclient can be installed.
Synaptic (new) vinagre (Remote Desktop) gnome-utils (Environmental gadgets) tsclient (terminal servo)
Then you can set the language options. logout-> reboot will show the effect.
In FireFox, search for the extension package in Chinese and set it to zh-CN in about: config.
Refer to the online installation of some gadgets, gdebi is indeed very useful, and the rest of the effect plug-ins are not installed.
Apt-get install gconf-editor gdebi compiz fusion-icon
 
0 × 02 display
The graphics card driver can be downloaded directly from the official website. It is generally a. sh shell script. Remember to execute it in bin/sh after logout.
If VMTools is installed under the VM, it doesn't matter if the graphics card driver is not installed. The previous N-card and a-card drive problems are also well solved.
 
0 × 03 Network
It hurts a lot. This document also describes how to dial the pptp vpn. Most of the online tutorials are kvpnc's support for multiple protocols, but gnome cannot afford to hurt. Copy the file directly.
Let's talk about the network connection problem. To enable the network connection icon in the taskbar like Ubuntu, We need to install the support for NM, that is:
Apt-get install network-manager.
However, even though the connection icon appears, the options are gray and you will still see the prompt that the network device is not hosted. This is due to the conflict between the two network management solutions in Linux: this solution is as follows:
Change managed = false in/etc/NetWorkManager/nm-system-settings.conf to = true and restart:/etc/init. d/networking restart (we recommend restarting Backtrack once ).
However, if you are careful, you can still find that there are still problems, that is, in the drop-down list of the network, there is not a familiar Auto eth0 in Ubuntu, but a lot of permanent wired connections for ifupdown, you cannot edit it. The solution is as follows:
Modify/etc/dbus-1/system. d/NetworkManager. conf and/etc/dbus-1/system. d/nm-applet.conf to display:
 
======================================
<Policy context = default>
<Deny own = "org. freedesktop. NetworkManager"/>
<Deny send_destination = "org. freedesktop. NetworkManager"/>
<Deny send_interface = "org. freedesktop. NetworkManager"/>
</Policy> change deny to allow, and then restart:
/Etc/init. d/restart
Stop NetWorkManager:
/Etc/init. d/network-manager stop
Delete interfaces:
Rm/etc/network/interfaces
Restart NetWorkManager:
/Etc/init. d/network-manager start
You can (reboot again after the same logout to see the effect ...).
PS: Let's talk about the software source problem here! After all, Chinese users say that the default repository is still under great pressure, but we are very fortunate that USTC provides us with a Backtrack synchronization source !!! I personally think it is much faster than the internal source. What makes me feel like =. = #
So echo the following three rows to/etc/apt/sources. lst:
Deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/backtrack/source revolution main microverse non-free testing
Deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/backtrack/all revolution main microverse non-free testing
Deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/backtrack/32 revolution main microverse non-free testing
 
0 × 04 sound
When the root user logs on, the system does not provide a sound response. clicking the sound slider bar will always show up waiting for the sound system to respond. This is because the sound is controlled by pulseaudio, by default, root does not have the right to access pulseaudio. The solution first grants root the right to access pulseaudio:
In System-system management-users and groups, add the root user to the pulse and pulse-access groups, and then add the startup Item:
Add:
Name: Pulseaudio daemon
Command:/usr/bin/pulseaudio
Comment: Start the sound daemon
Then logout and then login again.
 
0 × 05 VMTools
The iso is automatically mounted under the Vm. If not, you can install the following steps to manually mount it.
Step 1: Go to the BackTrack GUI and click "Virtual Machine"> "Install VMTools" on the VM menu bar"
Step 2: Go to the command interface and create a folder named cdorm under/mnt. The command is mkdir/mnt/cdrom.
Step 3: On the command interface, run mount/dev/cdrom3/mnt/cdrom with root permission.
Step 4: copy the file to the/tmp directory. Command: cp/mnt/cdrom/vmwarw.ls-w.version=.tar.gz/tmp/
Step 5: switch to the tmp directory and run the command cd/tmp. Run the tar command to decompress VMTools and run the command tar.
Zxpf/mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-8.4.3-282344.tar.gz
Step 6: switch to the vmware-tools-distrib directory and run the command cd/vmware-tools-distrib.
Step 7: run the installer vmware-install.pl command:./vmware-install.pl
Step 8: use the default configuration and always confirm. // Ps: Here is the description. You can select either yes or no. It seems to be the problem of configuring the path.
In fact, the most common thing is to extract the tar package and install it. Well, pay attention to permission issues.
1. cd ..
3. tar zxpf VMXXX (VMXXX has been named successfully)
4. sudo./vmware-install.pl
4. When I enter all the way and keep asking "yes", I will have a "no" auto-renew "OK.
 
0 × 06 VPN connected to PPTP
That is, the VPN connected to the windows 2k3 Server. By default, if no error occurs in the network configuration step, the small icon of the line will have the vpn option.
If not, follow these steps:
1. $ apt-get install network-manager-pptp
2. $ sudo/etc/init. d/network-manager restart
3. Select the NetworkManager Applet at the left of the mouse.
4. [VPN firewall]-> [set VPN]-> [VPN]-> [add (A)]
5. Select [Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)]-> [Create]
6. Fill in the required information and click [Advanced].
7. In {Authentication}, cancel [PAP], [CHAP], and [EAP]. Only [MSCHAP] and [MSCHAPv2] are checked.
8. In [Security and Compression], select [Use Point-to-Point encryption (MPPE)] and set [Security] to [All Available (Default)].
9. [confirm]-> [apply]-> [disable]
10. Select the NetworkManager Applet now.
11. Click [VPN Connection] and select the settings you have created.
12. Wait for a second to connect the device.
13. Complete.
