Ubuntu Security :: Find The Source Code Behind Mkpasswd?
May 14, 2010
I am trying to find the source code behind mkpasswd which I apt-getted from universe. I am trying to code a similar app in Java and want to see how the salt is implemented in the /etc/shadow file.
Bu I just can't seem to find any source about that particular program...
I was trying to install VPN client for my Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. During the installation process the terminal reads:
"Directory containing linux kernel source code [/lib/modules/2.6.31-21-generic/build]"
On that I pressed enter for the default option (in bold). After a few more steps I reached the following error:
Making module sh: Can't open ./driver_build.sh Failed to make module "cisco_ipsec.ko".
[/lib/modules/2.6.31-21-generic/build] is the location where the installer expects the kernel source to be (I am guessing). So unless I correct the terminal (by providing the location of the kernel source), I think I will keep on getting the same error message.
So to get the kernel source I visited: [URL]From there I copy pasted the command:
does anyone know where to find the full Ubuntu source code all i can find is the kernel source. if any knows where to get the full source code for any major Linux distribution could they let me know.
I need a mixer app called envy24control. Nobody seems to have a Slackware package for it, which would not be a big deal except that I cannot find the source code either! Does anyone know where I can find this thing?
I installed the audacious source code and now i can't find it I looked in "/usr/share/audacious" but no luck. im still getting used to the Linux file system so forgive my ignorance.
I want to build my own GNOME. The problem I have is that I cannot find the tarball for the GNOME source code. Another thing I've read on their website is that the way to build it is not the conventional './configure, make, make install', and that it has to be done using a multi-phase process. Is this correct?
i've been looking around on the web as well as here on the forums for a cain and abel source code or a dpkg if i'm lucky LOL. It's getting to be a pain in the butt to go from ubu to my win7 partition for other security tools... I'm trying to look good for an internship here and this is getting to be a pain in the butt. Some people have said in outside forums there is source code and i have build-essentials installed so i figured i'd try that but i'm sitting here at almost 1am still trying to find it!
Is there a way to find the dependencies from the source code in the directory produced by the tarball? All I do till now is ./configure, see the missing lib etc, install it, again ./configure, see missing lib, install it, and so on. Is there a way to have all the missing dependencies before configuring the program for the system, maybe with a proper configure flag? But ./configure -h
I am new to centOS and one of my application need linux source code as such I am failed to find suitable link for that. Any suitable link for Linux kernel version: 2.6.18-194.el5.
I am trying to install an rpm and when I run rpm -ivvh "package" I get this output Quote: Expected size: 29111 = lead(96)+sigs(180)+pad(4)+data(28831) D: Actual size: 29111 D: ldipmi-8.50.0.i386.rpm: Header SHA1 digest: OK (d3665fbf1c1a418ac1bf17befe92870b95c1a446) D: added binary package [0] D: ============== /root /root: not an rpm package (or package manifest): Is a directory D: found 0 source and 1 binary packages
this is srinath,newbie to linux and shell scripts.am in need of shell script,which have to checkout the source code(C/C++) from CVS server to a specified directory and compile that source code and get all its dependency files to a specified directory.
I followed the steps from [url] to download and install the kernel source code.
"Following Generic Textbooks
Many of the tutorials, examples, and textbooks about Linux kernel development assume the kernel sources are installed under the /usr/src/linux/ directory. If you make a symbolic link, as shown below, you should be able to use those learning materials with the Fedora packages. Install the appropriate kernel sources, as shown earlier, and then run the following command:
Where is my kernel source located which i can modify. I cant find anything in usr/src/kernels? Why?
i am already a little bit familiar with linux and now i want to know better the linux OS. i have downloaded the source code of the krnel from the kernel.org and i dont understand the linux source trees organization, so can somebody do me a favor and give me a link to some internet page (or at least a book) that explains that?? i have searched in the internet with the tag:::linux source trees organization and i have not found nothing interesting
I have been using Linux for 2 months, specifically Ubuntu, and been wondering where the source code is. Not only do I wonder where the kernel source code is but also where the source code for the installed programs are.
I downloaded wine from a windows laptop, but because you have to have a computer running Linux to download it as a .deb package, I had to download the source code as a tar. bz2.
Does anyone know how I compile it and make it executable?
this is the allert i got:Code:Summary:Your system may be seriously compromised! /usr/sbin/NetworkManager tried to loada kernel module.Detailed Description:SELinux has prevented NetworkManager from loading a kernel module. All confinedprograms that need to load kernel modules should have already had policy writtenfor them. If a compromised application tries to modify the kernel this AVC willbe generated. This is a serious issue.Your system may very well be compromised.Allowing Access:Contact your security administrator and report this issue.Additional Information:
I am following these instructions to install gnu backgammon. However I am doing this for the first time and I don't know how to get their source code from their site (here). Do I download everything?
I am wonder if somebody could take the time to teach me to install or compile a program from source.I have downloaded ZSNES from sourceforge but cannot figure out how to install it from the command prompt or using the package manager.
I want to know if it is possible to edit the source code of the programs in Linux. Like, take the calculator for instance. If I want to add a user-defined function to it, how can I do it - if I can do it at all? In general, where and how can I look at the source code of such programs ?
I have been the webmaster of a webpage for a few years and I have always installed Apache and PHP using the source code. The reason is that I wanted to use a recent version of them and I couldn't find it in the repositories.
Now, we are going to purchase a new server with Ubuntu (we were using Fedora in the previous one) and I don't know if install those packages using synaptic (much easier) or install them from scratch using the source code.
Synaptic is great, specially installing modules for PHP, but I am afraid of not having updated versions in a few months.
I was wondering if there are any tools that automate the process of installing from source for example tar.gz or tar.bz2. I have used kludge installer but I am looking for something that doesn't make me install any dependencies for example I want a bash shell script it just runs the commands you normally do but faster.
