[SOLVED] Debian And Its Packages

Ztcoracat · 09-04-2012, 10:42 PM

Hi:

I installed Debian 6.0.5 about 3 weeks ago and the system runs fine but there are a few things that seems odd to me.

When viewing my G-mail it is only in the text form and I am unable to see my G-mail background wallpaper(Ninja's).

Could Icewesel be missing a plug in?

When I installed Debian I only used the first ISO file and burned the 4 GB to the cd/dvd-
I do not know how big (GB's) Debian should be.
I'm asking how big Debian should be because after installing:

Code:

rkhunter

The terminal told me that it only found 130 packages out of 160. ( this is what has me wondering if pkg's are missing)

Is Debian missing packages? If so; is there a way for me to tell if packages are missing and what are they specifically?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

please post the output of rkhunter (and the exact command you used to run it).

You have to enable non free repos by adding nonfree contrib in/etc/apt/sources.list
You have to install flashplugin.

aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree

You can do this, but you do not have to.

Regardless, this post is off topic, the OP is trying to understand the output of rkhunter.

Re-read the OP, the first part of the post is about Gmail not working properly.

The second part is about rkhunter.

Use:

Code:

rkhunter --check

The output should end with something similar to:

Quote:

System checks summary
=====================

File properties checks...
Files checked: 140
Suspect files: 8

Rootkit checks...
Rootkits checked : 285
Possible rootkits: 0

Applications checks...
All checks skipped

The system checks took: 1 minute and 59 seconds

All results have been written to the log file (/var/log/rkhunter.log)

One or more warnings have been found while checking the system.
Please check the log file (/var/log/rkhunter.log)

Opps, missed that. Sorry EDDY1.
Does the gmail web interface use flash?

No problem evo2

When I first installed "rkhunter"I used Synaptic Package Mgr. I closed Synaptic and
I executed the following:

Code:

dpkg -reconfigure rkhunter

I was asked a series of questions that I answered 'yes' to. Than I executed:

Code:

rkhunter --propupd

The terminal produced this output:

Code:

File updated: searched for 162 files, found 130
root@mock:/home/ztcoracat#

[/CODE]

I have not ran:
<# rkhunter -c> as of yet since I installed this application a few days ago.

What should I proceed with?

evo2 · 09-05-2012, 07:13 PM

Hi,

ok, so the message from rkhunter is about *files* not *packages*. I interpret that as rkhunter knows about 162 files that it will check, but your system only has 130 of them installed. This is not a problem. Debian offers around 30000 packages, most of which you will never want or need. Within these extra packages will be the additional 32 files that rkhunter knows about and would check.

Thank You; Evo-

You provided me with clear confirmation so now this is no cause for me to be alarmed.

Correct me if I am wrong but after the install of this application the terminal said:

Code:

rkhunter databases will be updated automatically by a weekly cron job

So; there is no reason for me to execute or run anything; right?

yep files, most likely from packages that are not installed. Nothing to be concerned about.

Code:

# rkhunter --propupd
[ Rootkit Hunter version 1.4.0 ]
File updated: searched for 169 files, found 140, missing hashes 7

I wouldn't even worry about running rkhunter, as it runs as a cronjob.

You can check the logs if you are one to worry.

as root open /var/log/rkhunter.log in any text edit or you can do
cat /var/log/rkhunter.log to look at it in a terminal

eight years of running Debian and none of the anti-malware tools like rkhunter have ever found anything.

Good for you. However, and with all due respect, such an observation is only meaningful in the context of your system(s). It is no measure for the amount of (ab)use inflicted slash seen on the 'net and people should not mistake such observations for security best practices to follow.

Ztcoracat · 09-05-2012, 09:32 PM

Craigevil:
Got it; I can look in on that log by use of the terminal:
<cat /var/log/rkhunter.log......Thanks

unSpawn:
I hear you lound and clear concerning observation-

About that :

Code:

aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree

I executed the command as Eddy1 advised me to. For some reason I still don't have my wallpaper in my G-mail-
After I opened the terminal and executed:

Code:

apt-get update

So I than executed:

Code:

apt-get upgrade

I saw that all packages were updated by the terminal said:"Iceweasel was held back"
Is there something else that you could suggest?
