Access Movistar Router via 192.168.1.1 – Page Not Available
I recently changed to a (Spanish) Movistar Fiber Optic internet connection, and as you do, tried to connect the usual way to have a poke around in the router.
I immediately got webpage errors for 192.168.1.1 on everything from my phone, tablet and laptop. Guessing it was a Chrome induced security issue, I decided to have a Google.
It turns out that Movistar routers still use an unsecure SSL v3 connection, and as such is blocked by decent browsers such as Chrome and Firefox, after the much publicized “Poodle Attack”.
There is a workaround however, and you can temporarily disable SSL v3 blocking thusly:
1. Open Firefox
2. Type “about:config” in the search bar
3. Accept the warning message
4. Search for security.tls.version.min and security.tls.version.fallback-limit
5. Set the first one to 0 and the second one to False
Now you can access your router. It is strongly advised to revert the settings back to 0 and True once you’ve finished meddling with your router configs.
Screenfetch Terminal System Info instead of Archey on Crunchbang
I usually use Archey to brighten up my terminal, but realised that Screenfetch does the same job with a difference, I get a nice Crunchbang logo instead of a bright red swirly Debian logo.
To get screenfetch:
wget -O screenfetch https://raw.github.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch/master/screenfetch-dev
Make it executable:
chmod +x screenfetch
Move it to the bin directory to launch it:
sudo mv screenfetch /usr/bin/
Now add it to your bashrc file:
echo “screenfetch” >> ~/.bashrc
All done!
Howto install Minus.com filesharing desktop app on Debian Squeeze or Crunchbang
Minus.com Free 10Gb Unlimited Bandwith Dropbox rival
I just recently heard about minus.com on Google + and thought that their claim of 10Gb FREE along with unlimited bandwidth was suspicious. My comment was “Wait until somebody uploads and publicly shares a Linux distro iso.
Then Phillip Newborough (Corenominal – Crunchbang Linux) said he had actually communicated with John Xie, one of the minus.com founders, aksing exactly the same thing. John said that the minus.com team are all Linux users and have no problem whatsoever with Linux users/developers sharing their isos via the service.
This-is-awesome! I am uploading all my Dropbox files as I type this. Minus.com is going to be huge if they can maintain this type of service.
Ok, so I signed up and immediately started to look for Android and Debian desktop synchronization. I found only Ubuntu and Arch packages, and the screenshots clearly show a Gnome desktop, but I thought “what the hell” an downloaded the 64bit Ubuntu.deb package and threw caution to the wind.
Installation on Debian Squeeze 64bit with Openbox Desktop:
Download and install the .deb file from:
http://minus.com/pages/tools
wget http://blog.minus.com/updates/minus-desktop-tool_amd64.deb
Install it:
sudo dpkg -i minus-desktop-tool_amd64.deb
Errors:
I got told I needed the libqt4-gui, I am on a very basic Squeeze with Openbox, so I just installed it.
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of minus-desktop-tool:
minus-desktop-tool depends on libqt4-gui; however:
Package libqt4-gui is not installed.
dpkg: error processing minus-desktop-tool (–install):
dependency problems – leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
minus-desktop-tool
Get the dependencies:
sudo apt-get -f install
All done!
Just to check, I ran minus in the run dialog box, and hey presto! all working schwimmingly 🙂
Files:
The config.ini file is in ~/.local/share/data/minusdesktop
Minus runs from /usr/bin/minus
Autostart:
And i also added minus to start at login with my Openbox autostart.sh
vim .config/openbox/autostart.sh
And add:
# Autostart the Minus daemon
(sleep 30s && minus) &
