gnutls and nettle update

#107 Post by 8Geee »

Both of these were updated by slackware yesterday Dec. 5, 2018.

For AtomicPup-XIX use the 'Slackware14.2 i586' version.

Highlight and paste the link in a new tab.
Click YES in Yellow box, and OK when loading and completed.
When finished with both, close browser and disconnect from internet.
Navigate ROX-filer to /usr/lib and open
The following symlinks must be made
Remove nettle4.7 and symlink from nettle6.5 (right-click --> Link) back to 4.7, typing 4.7 into the address box.
Remove libgnutls28.43.0 and symlink libgnutls30.23.0 as above.
Check libgnutls-openssl for version 27.0.2

At this point navigate to /usr/doc to remove the doc files.
Then /root/.packages (hidden file) to move the new file-lists into the builtin folder. You may remove the older versions if needed.

Close ROX-filer and all other items and perform a shutdown.
After 5 minutes restart, and reconnect to internet as needed.

mp3 and mp4 downloads

#108 Post by 8Geee »

If you are having trouble downloading at YouTube or other sites, nic007 has passed along this site as a fine alternative. One can select mp3 or mp4. The mp3 can have the compression altered (128K, 192K, 320K at least). I am not sure about video size yet but usually 360p or 720p is offered at YouTube.

This link will be included with the default bookmarks next update. You can simply add it now by saving your current bookmarks, then go to ~/my-applications/MyFiles to reload the default bookmark2 file, add the new link, and Save As HTML to the default location above. Then Import your original bookmarks.

Regards and thanks again to nic007

Curl update --> 7.64

#109 Post by 8Geee »

Slackware has a security patch for curl.
The patch upgrades 7.62 --> 7.64

The usr/doc files may be deleted, and root/.packages file for the new update should be moved to builtin. The old packages file may be removed.

Current Torrent File fails

#110 Post by Gedrean »

Hey @8Geee the torrent file on archive.org fails when I load it into my rtorrent instance, the tracker returns that the torrent is not valid or authorized on that tracker. Can you double-check? Was successfully able to download it by hand but wanted to get the torrented archive.

gnutls update

#112 Post by 8Geee »

Slackware has released a security update for gnutls. This is to be done at slackware dot com -->security advisories --> 2019

Though not directly applicable to the default AtomicPup-XIX,
if you have updated your choice of browser, and it accepts TLS 1.3 (FireFox 50 or newer, for example), then this update directly affects AtomicPup-XIX.

I will opine that this should be done anyway, as the update protects any future decisions made concerning browser, and puppy's own internal security in selecting TLS1.3 certs. /MHO

There is one symlink needed in usr/lib
remove libgnutls.so.30.23.0 then
symlink the 30.23.2 version back to the 30.23.0

The root/.packages file should have this update list moved to the builtin folder.

A brief look at the problem.

curl 7.65.0 update

#113 Post by 8Geee »

Slackware has just released an update to curl 7.64.1 --> 7.65.0

The usr/doc files may be deleted, and root/.packages file for the new update should be moved to builtin. The old packages file may be removed. No symlinks are needed.

rdesktop WARNING

#114 Post by 8Geee »

I need to pass this WARNING on...

Do not upgrade rdesktop, the listed Slackware14.0 version WILL borque puppy- it WILL NOT BOOT.

In fact its not really needed UNLESS using VLC as a youtube server to stream vids.

The current rdesktop can be removed using the file list in /root/.packages

TLS1.2 security

#115 Post by 8Geee »

Recently it has been discovered and announced that certain TLS1.2 encryption schemes are vunerable to cracking attempts. In an indirect way, this is related to derivatives of Meltdown/Spectre.

AtomicPup-XIX uses two of these schemes, and the Qualys Client-Side Test has affirmed this with a "WEAK" rating (unsuitable for use). Since this is encryption scheme AND there IS hyperthreading of ANY TYPE involved, Firefox27, or whatever you have installed, needs to FALSE these schemes, so they are not selected.

DISCONNECT FROM THE INTERNET
Oen Firefox and in Firefox address bar type about:config
Click I'll be careful
In the search bar type ssl
scroll down the listing to these two consecutive entries

security.ssl3.ecdhe_ecdsa_aes_128_sha
security.ssl3.ecdhe_ecdsa_aes_256_sha

Double click each one to make FALSE
Close the Browser
Click Menu --> Shutdown --> Restart Graphical Server
Upon the Refresh you may reconnect to internet

CURL 7.65.2

#116 Post by 8Geee »

Slackware has released an update for CURL to version 7.65.2
There are no symlinks needed, and usr/docs may be removed.

In Other News: AtomicPup-XIX is rather stable as you may have noticed. Just a tweak here and there, primarily relating to CURL. I don't see the need for an update, unless a major revision comes along.

#117 Post by 8Geee »

There are two recent security patches to pass along.

The first is curl from 7.65.2 --> 7.66.
After the downloading as pet package, the old libcurl7.5.0 needs to be deleted with a symlink from libcurl7.6.0 back to 7.5.0 The usr/doc file can be removed if not needed, and the root/.packages file needs the new txt file moved to builtin with removal of old file.

Second is expat2.2.2 --> 2.2.8
In the same manner as above, delete libexpat1.6.4 with symlink from libexpat 1.6.10 back to 1.6.4. The doc file can be deleted and the root.package file moved with deleetion of old version.

Regards
8Geee

a note here that if not using rdesktop, to remove it using the root/.packages file as guide.

pcap and tcpdump updates

#118 Post by 8Geee »

Ooops, I've been remiss about posting this update. I have installed them, and been running without problems for a month now. :oops:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

At slackware security updates is a laundry-list of corrections for tcpdump. However, one must first update pcap to handle the new corrections.

The pcap update is here. Install this as a Puppy Package by clicking YES in the yellow box. Answer both questions OK when they appear.

In usr/lib delete libpcap.so.1.8.1 and make a symlink from the new 1.9.1 version back to 1.8.1 by altering the "9" to "8".

Next is tcpdump...
The update for tcpdump 4.9.3 is here. Click Yes in the yellow box, and OK when asked.

In usr/sbin delete the tcpdump.4.9.2 version and make a symlink back to 4.9.2 by altering the "3" to "2". Make a second symlink to the 4.9.3 version by removing the /usr from the path. (If an app or program erroneously calls /sbin instead of /usr/sbin)

When this completed, the /usr/docs files can be removed and the /root/.packages file can be updated by moving the two new text files to the builtin folder with removal of the old version.

A bit lengthy to write, not hard to do

AtomicPup2020

#119 Post by 8Geee »

This is the starting post for AtomicPup2020, an update to the XIX and 18 versions. A few tweaks to menu icons and the usual updates from slackware current to this posting. Just an update for those who would rather not remaster/update themselves. See the 1st post for full details of the spin

Thanks and regards

I'm really a nervous noob. Yesterday I thought I installed Puppeee 1.0 only to find that it is not persistent. Further research brought me here. If I go with this flavor can you please instruct me how to make it persistent?

Have the ISO file downloaded to a place not part of where its going.
Make sure the computer is off
You need a CD/DVD burner and a Blank CD
You need a USB stick ready to use (Blank)

IF YOU HAVE NO OPERATING SYSTEM INSTALLED, YOU HAVE TO PUT ONE IN, THE COMPUTER MUST BOOT TO AN OPERATING SYSTEM. THAT OPERATING SYSTEM HAS TO ALLOW YOU TO BURN AN ISO FILE TO A CD.

When you start the computer, you can connect the CD burner, you will have to burn the ISO file to a CD, so put a blank CD in the burner, AND BURN THE ISO TO THE CD.
After the CD is burned, the disc can be removed and the SD burner disconnected for now.

Thats step 1 of several needed. If you get this far, we can continue.

Step 2

#122 Post by 8Geee »

Once the CD is burned, you can shut off the computer again after removed disc and disconnect burner. Wait about 2 minutes before proceeding.

During this time put disc into CD burner and connect burner to computer.
Then press power button.

On most netbooks, you have to go into BIOS to tell the computer to boot from the CD first.
Usually as soon as power button is pressed, about 2-3 seconds later you must repeatedly press the f2 key to get into BIOS, some models need f1 if f2 does not work.

When the BIOS screen comes up, you CANNOT use the mouse, just the arrow keys to bottom-right of most keyboards. Generally, there is a tab for booting the computer.

One option is boot order.Press ENTER to select. Use the arrow keys to highlight the CD, and press ENTER. Then press the ESCape key, and accept changes.

Hopefully, the burnned CD will boot.

[SOLVED] Re: AtomicPup2020 Released

#124 Post by fjd »

8Geee wrote:***Jan.08,2020 UPDATE ***

AtomicPup2020 is an update to version 18 and XIX based upon 01micko's
original Slacko5.7-i686-4G-noPAE (32bit) puppy. Sailor Enceladus has provided
an update to 01micko's original using a supported kernel (3.18.106). For those
people that DO NOT have an Atom CPU, this new update is urged, as it has on-
going patches to the Meltdown/Spectre problems. Slacko5.7.1-woofCE
by sailor enceladus can be found here. I will no longer maintain my
updated original version, as it is vunerable to the Meltdown/Spectre syndrome.
This decision is in the best interest of all.

================================================================================

It is intended that AtomicPup2020 be installed to a USB Flash drive. The included
Gparted will make the 768Mb partition as ext3, and set the 'boot' flag. Do this
when still on 1st CD start. Then install, and do a shutdown. Set the save-file
as ext3, and 256Mb. Note: security must be set as none or normal.

AtomicPup2020 will be my sole spin, naming will avoid confusion. It is a contin-
uation of 'EONS' with security patches supplied by Slackware. WGET is at version 1.19.5.

AtomicPup2020 has the following elements

CPU: Intel Atom before 2013 (N2600/N2800 is last CPU)
kernel: 3.4.82 (out of support)
*** new *** wget 1.19.5
bash 4.1.017 (from Slackware 13.37, same source as original slacko5.7)
*** new *** OpenSSL 1.0.2p (from Slackware 14.2, updates MUST occur at slackware.com)
with thanks to HoerMirAuf for the upgrade pet.

browser FireFox27.0.1 (FF27) configured for security and privacy
Addons: AdBlock Edge, Searchonymous, Redirect Cleaner, Better Privacy, Youtube
All HTML5, Download YouTube as MP4, and FireFTP 2.0.19 (this one is optional).
Security: TLS1.2 with forward secrecy is the only permitted type.
I do not expect TLS1.3 for Older FireFoxes (TLS1.3 support begins at FF49).
*** new *** Javascript: enabled, but does not cache data.
For a longer list of changes type about:support in the browser address bar.

The Office is SoftMaker-FreeOffice version 6.97 (before WIN10). It has been
trimmed to one language (enUS) and is quite small. WordProcessor, SpreadSheet,
and Slide-Presentation are included. This is the only way I can distribute
without a key. The enUS Manual in pdf is a separate download. You may remove the
Office if not needed. Open /opt and delete all files within, then open /root
(show hidden files) removing .softmaker, and remove the two desktop icons. Done.

avidemeux 2.5.5s video editor included
fonts are Liberation Sans/Serif/Mono, Overpass, and Digital-7 (UTF-8 encoding)
*** new is monaco.ttf that is default leafpad and Geany font with thanks to musher0 ***
paint is mtpaint 3.44.48
python 2.6 and 2.7
video-drivers OTHER THAN i915 have been removed (i965 can be requested)
ALL shares and servers have been removed including SAMBA.
*** If you need shares/servers, use the new slacko5.7 by sailor enceladus above.

CUPS 1.4.8 using foomatic2xxx-2014.04.26 by rcrsn51 and thanks. This will allow
newer Laserjet Printers by HP to be used. His repo is broken/removed, so I
uploaded my copy of his foomatic (xqx and zjs included) to archive.org.

iso size is about 150Mb and minimum partition size is 768Mb using 256Mb save.
In general, one does not need a swap-file, but an eeePC 2G-surf might.

AtomicPup backgrounds are in /root/my-applications/MyFiles
Original SlackoPup5.7 backgrounds remain in their original locations.

So... one can surf the net and have some music/video with editing. You can
hazard on-line purchases and banking and passwords with good security.
Just a reminder to use encrypted wifi, this spin has the WPA2 supplicant
security patch (version 2.6 by Slackware) but the 'host side' is still a ?.

The postings concerning AtomicPup2020 begin here.

AtomicPup2020 can be found here.

AtomicPup Office enUS manuals are here.

Important notice

#125 Post by 8Geee »

For those of you that are using AP-2020 and visit Youtube, the site no longer functions. There is no work-around extant forAP-2020. For a few months I have been personally using an updated version made by tuuxxx in an alpha form. This 'alpha' works nearly flawlwss, and is acceptable for usage in AtomicPup.

Therefore, I have released tuuxxx's alpha as AtomicPup-XX66.

For those of you not really needing Youtube, I wll also point out that the newer version of FireFox (66.0.5) supports TLS1.3 and has more options available in TLS1.2 format with forward secrecy. Open SSL has modernized to 1.1.1b and is stable as is. Nonetheless, AP-2020 is still quite useable for day-to-day internet usage.
