beep, patch and ed – The Isoblog.

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/04/11

So we are all doomed: on debian, beep was an issue leading into a CVE. The fix is an issue too, and also has a CVE.

Git repository with fixed binaries for Tumbleweed on Raspberry Pi 3 – Bug 1084419 – Glibc update to 2.27 causes segfault during name resolution

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/04/08

OSC downloads for [archive.is] https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1084812

The binaries provided by Stefan Brüns, together with installation instructions are now in a git repository at [WayBack] wiert.me/public/linux/opensuse/tumbleweed/aarch64 a.k.a. arm64/1084182-fix-osc-binaries · GitLab.

Follow the steps in Applying the fixes on a broken system to at least temporarily get your system to work (a new zypper dist-upgrade might fail, so be careful with that).

The cause was some ARM A53 errata handling:

DNS traffic monitoring tools: tshark, tcpdump or dnstop

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/04/02

I resolved my issue with tshark, but that’s not available on all systems neither is dnstop. Most systems do have tcpdump though.

Anyway, some links:

terminate screen monitoring serial port – Unix & Linux Stack Exchange

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/28

  • Use the screen quit command (normally ctrl-A ctrl-\).
  • Use the command mode of screen (normally ctrl-A :) then type quit or help for more commands

This will quit screen and release the TTY serial port connection.

Ben, blogging: Show the complete apache config file

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/20

Quite a while back, I got attended to Ben, blogging: Show the complete apache config file:

If you really want to see all the complete config settings, there is no existing tool for that. This Stack Overflow page  answered this question pretty well: You can use apachectl -S to see the settings of Virtual Host, or apachectl -M to see the loaded modules, but to see all settings, there is no such tool, you will have to go through all the files , starting from familiar yourself with the  general structure of the httpd config files.
… script …

The usage is simple: Run it as python  CombineApacheConfig.py . Since there is no additional parameters given, it will retrieve the default Ubuntu apache config file from  /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and generate the result complete config file in /tmp/apache2.combined.conf. If your config file is in different location, then give the input file and output file location.

Note: Apache server-info page http://127.0.0.1/server-info also provide similar information, but not in the config file format. It is in human readable format. The page works only when it is open from the same computer.

Since I could not find how to post comments there, and it works better for me having a repo, I put it into a gist with attribution to hist post: https://gist.github.com/jpluimers/fd300f3a500cbc78cd862d2a248e7b03
I need to adapt it for OpenSuSE; until then run it as this:
python CombineApacheConfig.py /etc/apache2/httpd.conf /tmp/apache2.combined.conf

How do I disconnect all other users in tmux? – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/12

The joy of single character command-line switches, so thanks [WayBack] demure for answering at [WayBackHow do I disconnect all other users in tmux? – Stack Overflow:

You can use <prefix> D (where prefix is C-b by default), to chose which clients to detach; it will also list they col/lines as well as the last used time.

You could also use tmux’s detach-client option

 detach-client [-P] [-a] [-s target-session] [-t target-client]
               (alias: detach)
         Detach the current client if bound to a key, the client specified
         with -t, or all clients currently attached to the session speci-
         fied by -s.  The -a option kills all but the client given with
         -t.  If -P is given, send SIGHUP to the parent process of the
         client, typically causing it to exit.

either from <prefix>:followed by detach [options] or on the command line inside tmux with tmux detach [options]

command line – Linux’ `ps f` (tree view) equivalent on OSX? – Ask Different

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/02/14

There still is no ps xf on Mac OS X.

You need brew install pstree for that. Then you can excute pstree which gives you a treeview of the processes running.
