Ubuntu

Last week I installed Ubuntu Gutsy on my laptop. I did a clean install, which went fine. Of course, I needed the Sguil client on it as well. Gutsy has all the required libraries in it’s repositories. Install the following packages: tcl8.4 tclx8.4 tcllib tk8.4 iwidgets4 Checking out the Sguil client is easy (make sure you have ‘cvs’ installed): cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@sguil.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sguil login cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@sguil.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sguil co sguil After this the client runs fine on my system. ...

A short time ago I wrote about how the Sguil 0.7-CVS client can be installed on Ubuntu Feisty. Since then there has been a change to Sguil that changes the requirements a bit. Because of this the standard tcllib package in Feisty is no longer usable. It provides tcllib 1.8 while Sguil now needs 1.9. Luckily, we can use the tcllib package from the upcoming Ubuntu release called ‘Gutsy’. It can be found here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/interpreters/tcllib ...

I needed to setup the right libraries for Snort_inline development on my fresh Ubuntu Feisty installation, so I decided to write down the procedure for those who think compiling Snort_inline from source is hard. :) Make sure you have build-essential package installed. This makes sure you have a compiler and development packages for glibc and other important libraries. I’m installing the libraries from source to get the latest versions because the latest versions are more stable and perform better than the versions included in Feisty. I’m installing them into /usr because some programs like them there best. ...

I just got a new workstation that I’m setting up today with Ubuntu Feisty 7.04. When setting up the Sguil client from CVS I needed to install the following packages (including dependencies, but apt-get takes care of that): tcl8.4 tclx8.4 tcllib tk8.4 iwidgets4 After this it ran but looked horrible because of some ugly font that was used. I found that for my use the following fonts look good: ...
