On the default setup of Kali GNU/Linux Rolling 64-bit live USB it appears that metagoofil is not installed (although you will find some icons for it).
When trying to use it, you will get the error: bash: metagoofil : command not found
To install it just execute the following in a terminal:
apt-get install metagoofil;
A few days ago we setup a server on a laptop with lubuntu. We wanted to make sure that once the screen lid is off, the PC would not shut down (or hibernate or sleep) and it would continue to accept requests.
We tried to configure the PC through the system settings that are available with the GUI but we could not get it to work right. Anyhow, what we did in the end and worked was the following:
In the file /etc/systemd/logind.conf we set the variable HandleLidSwitch to ignore. So after the change, the following line was in logind.conf:
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
If the above line is commented out (i.e. starts with the character #, be sure to uncomment it by removing the # character).
After that, we had to restart the systemd-logind service as follows:
service systemd-logind restart;
Finally, to test we closed the lid and the server was operating as expected.
If you have a power manager such as xfce4-power-manager-settings, it is a good practice to make sure it is configure properly first before doing the change above. (e.g. Set Lock screen or Switch off display in When laptop lid is closed option).
If you start xfce4-power-manager after you do the change above, you might have to restart the service again as the solution seems to stop.
Recently, we made some time-lapses with our GoPro camera which was not used for some time and discharged. Due to that, the date and time configuration of the camera was wrong and the resulting video files had wrong metadata information in their EXIF.
To update the dates in the produced video files we used the exiftool that is shipped in the perl-Image-ExifTool package. We use Fedora, so we used dnf to install the application with all needed dependencies as follows:
sudo dnf install -y perl-Image-ExifTool;
After installing exiftool, we used the following commands to change the dates and times of the video named GOPR6426 (and its preview / thumbnail video):
$ mydate='2018:02:23 15:20:00'; $ exiftool "-AllDates=$mydate" "-TrackCreateDate=$mydate" "-TrackModifyDate=$mydate" "-MediaCreateDate=$mydate" "-MediaModifyDate=$mydate" -overwrite_original GOPR4626.*;
* in our command to make sure we update not only the main video but also the preview / thumbnail videos that GoPro produces.-overwrite_original, then a new file will be createdEXIF data of the mediaBelow you will find the commands we used to enable the sys-usb VM (on an installation of Qubes 3.2 where it was not enabled by default nor was the task of handling USB devices assigned to sys-net).
On dom0 terminal emulator, we executed the following first to enable sys-usb.
sudo qubesctl top.enable qvm.sys-usb; sudo qubesctl state.highstate;
Then we modified the configuration files for the mouse (/etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.InputMouse) and keyboard (/etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.InputKeyboard) so that they will automatically be granted to dom0 without prompting the used each time.
We modified the content /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.InputMouse and /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.InputKeyboard to be as below:
sys-usb dom0 allow,user=root $anyvm $anyvm deny
