Installing JDK 8 on Debian Wheezy

By default, Debian Wheezy repository does not provide JDK-8 and JRE-8. You can download it from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html. If you install JDK-8 using remove SSH, you can follow these steps:

1. Download JDK-8 from URL above
   # wget --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u45-b14/jdk-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gz
2. Extract it
   # tar xvzf jdk-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gz
3. Create directory /usr/lib/JVM, if it does not exist. By default JDK will install on these folder
   # mkdir /usr/lib/jvm/
Move JDK-8 folder to /usr/lib/JVM
# mv jdk1.8.0_45 /usr/lib/jvm/
4. Update alternative Java
   # update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/java 100
   update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/java to provide /usr/bin/java (java) in auto mode
   # update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/javac 100
   update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/javac to provide /usr/bin/javac (javac) in auto mode

Installing Debian 7 x64 ethernet card & wifi in Lenovo B490

Last week, I got problem for enabling ethernet card & wifi in Lenovo B490 after installing Debian 7.1 x64. I need to install it offline for at least enabling ethernet card or wifi to make it online. After googling, i decided to enable ethernet card first to make it online (easier).

To install ethernet card in lenovo B490, it uses chipset realtek r8169 and it needs to install its firmware manualy from debian.org. follow these step to install it:

1. Download realtek r8169 firmware https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/all/firmware-realtek/download
2. Install it by run this command
   # dpkg -i firmware-realtek_0.36+wheezy.1_all.deb

After that, make it online, and add repository required to update your system. Wifi in lenovo B490 uses chipset bcm43142 that does not exist in debian repository. I follow this guide http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=109498 to install its wifi. Here are steps to do:

1. Download the driver from https://mega.co.nz/#!qIUySZYJ!PgfNRVCcXO-enbDuhziUqVCriMcDhbU-houaQ97c0yM
   or the link was broken just search in google "download wireless-bcm43142-dkms_6.20.55.19-1_amd64.deb" or from this server
2. Install it manualy bu run this command
   # dpkg -i download wireless-bcm43142-dkms_6.20.55.19-1_amd64.deb
3. Install network-manager by run this command
   # apt-get install network-manager

Installing ODOO 8 in Debian

Odoo was formerly known as OpenERP until May 2014. It was rebranded because version 8 of the software included apps including website builder, e-commerce, point of sale and business intelligence. The software conforms to standard expectations of ERP systems, while providing additional modules beyond the coverage of traditional ERP systems.

These are steps to install ODOO/OpenERP version 8 (latest release) in Debian (in my case):

1. Add this into your /etc/apt/sources.list
   deb http://nightly.odoo.com/8.0/nightly/deb/ ./
   or
   deb http://nightly.odoo.com/master/nightly/deb/ ./
2. Install odoo key
   # wget https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key
   # apt-key add odoo.key
3. update by run this command
   sudo apt-get update
4. install ODOO 8 by run this command
   sudo apt-get install odoo

Shellshock Vulnerability on Bash Shell

This is how you test your bash shell whether its vulnerable or not for 'shellsock' bug.
Run this on your linux shell (you don't need super user account for this):
 $ env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test" 
if the result like this:
   vulnerable
   this is a test
then, you need to upgrade your bash version.

Just run (as superuser or sudo)
 # apt-get update
 # apt-get upgrade

It will show bash upgrade like this:
 Get:1 http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates/main bash amd64 4.2+dfsg-0.1+deb7u3 [1,501 kB]

After I upgrade my bash, the result becames like this:
   this is a test

I use bash version : GNU bash, version 4.2.37(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
