another debian bug squasing party at limux office

To celebrate the move to our new office building, there will be another Debian Bug Sqashing Party! The event will take place from 27.11. to 29.11. Here is the Google Maps link. The BSP starts on Friday afternoon at about 17:00.

As always, everybody with moderate Unix skills is welcome to participate. Some Debian or programming knowledge is also desirable.

For Debian Newbies, there will be a packaging introduction on Friday evening. Please be prepare your Notebooks for a Wireles LAN setup, as we're still not done with the cabling after our move to the new office building last week.

Last, but not least i'm glad we will be able to sponsor some pizza for the hungry developer crowd ;-)

Patching Portbunny for Backtrack 4

About PortBunny

PortBunny is a Linux-kernel-based port-scanner created by Recurity Labs.
Its aim is to provide a reliable and fast TCP-SYN-port-scanner which performs
sophisticated timing based on the use of so called "trigger"-packets.

Why this Mini-howto?

In recent kernels (2.6.28), device_create_drvdata() has been renamed to
device_create(), with the same parameters. A small patch is needed to get
PortBunny built and running for Backtrack4.

Step by Step

* download portbunny here
* apt-get install linux-image-2.6.30.5 linux-source-2.6.30.5
* cd /usr/src/
* tar jxvf /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.5.tar.bz2
* rm -f /usr/src/linux
* ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.5 /usr/src/linux
* ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/2.6.30.5/build
* apply the following, trivial patch for kernel 2.6.30.5 (bt4 current).

have fun with the bunny!

8 GB of storage will more than suffice for a nice and clean Debian installation ;-)

If you live in germany, i absolutely recommend http://www.pulster.de/ for all free phone accessories!

LiMux at Kieler Linux und Open Source Days

This is a short summary of my first visit to the Kieler Linux und Open Source Days in Kiel, the capital of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany's north.

Kieler Linux und Open Source Days is a regional exhibition and conference aiming at new users of Free Software and GNU/Linux in particular. The conference takes place in the "KITZ" (Kiel Center of Innovation and Technology) which is currently home to more than sixty companies (closed- and open source).

While Floschi attended the OpenWorldForum , i happily accepted to give the keynote in Kiel, talk about LiMux, Linux in general and last but not least: Do some networking.

The keynote went pretty well, not to mention the fact that OO Impress ate some of the pics in my presentation. Some extra laughs for the audience ;-)

Many pepole were interested in the details of our project, what the main problems are and how we solved them. I got some nice input and hours of chat and discussion flew by so fast it was a blur! The Wollmux was interesting to some attendees, also. One might think the Wollmux userbase will grow soon.

Reminder to all:
If you have any questions regarding the Wollmux, we have an official Mailinglist for all WollMux-related issues, including end-user and developer questions: http://www.wollmux.org/index.php/Mailing_Lists

Thank you for the warm (not as in weather, but nevertheless) welcome!

Finally, i hope the event will be taking place next year again and get some more attention of the local university (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel).

As usual, my slides will be available from planetlimux.org.
