Fix Google Chrome install issues in Xubuntu/Ubuntu 13.04

I did a clean install of xubuntu and noticed that chrome has a dependancy that isn't int repos. This isn't good for me, as I use chrome as my main browser to maintain consistency across machines with bookmarks, open windows (using TabCloud) and also using various extensions I love (HELLO Feedly  & Evernote!) Here is how to fix it after a clean install. (didn't affect me upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04 beta because I already had it)

Note: I just did a fresh install of xubuntu 13.04 and I also had to install libgconf2-4

sudo apt-get install libgconf2-4


32bit installs:
wget -P /tmp http://launchpadlibrarian.net/132294322/libudev0_175-0ubuntu19_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/libudev0_175-0ubuntu19_i386.deb
rm /tmp//libudev0_175-0ubuntu19_i386.deb

64bit installs:
wget -P /tmp http://launchpadlibrarian.net/119461136/libudev0_175-0ubuntu13_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/libudev0_175-0ubuntu13_amd64.deb
rm /tmp/libudev0_175-0ubuntu13_amd64.deb


Update: just installed Lubuntu on another laptop, follow the above directions, but also

sudo apt-get install libgconf2-4

UPDATE: Installing Aircrack-ng and Reaver in Ubuntu 12.04 12.10 13.04

Much easier now to install reaver and aircrack in Ubuntu:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:pi-rho/security; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -y aircrack-ng
reaver

Using reaver to test your security:

1)Set up an interface in aircrack on wlan0: if you are not sure of the name of the interface, type ifconfig at the command prompt and look for a wlanX

 sudo airmon-ng start wlan0

2) Get the mac address of your own AP

sudo airodump-ng mon0

Look for the name of your AP and copy the mac down.

3) Run reaver and sit back:

sudo reaver -a -i mon0 -b --dh-small -vv

Cuttlefish automation tool for Ubuntu/Xubuntu 12.10

Cuttlefish is one of those must have apps you can use to automate automatic reactions to things like running a script at WLAN/LAN connection,application startup/close, Bluetooth connections and usb connections.

Too bad it is only in the 12.04 repos, here is how to add it to 12.10 easily. Note you will need the JRE for it to run.

echo ' deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/noneed4anick/cuttlefish/ubuntu precise main  ' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install cuttlefish


Have fun!
