Kbd Package
noelgeorge93 opened this issue · comments
Hi, While running the ./automake.sh , I encountered an error stating "Failed to locate kbd package to patch"
I tried running it on vmware and from usb live.Can someone help me on this?
Seems like you are missing an important package (called kbd). Can you send the full output of automake.sh to bitscout[at]kaspersky.com?
According to some reports this may be related to build process which was started on the offline system. Please note that you need access to the internet to be able to download Ubuntu packages from the official servers of the vendor.
If you see the following build output lines, it may indicate your network connectivity problem:
...
I: Retrieving InRelease
I: Failed to retrieve InRelease

Hi, i dont have network connectivity problems but i saw the following:
/* Fixing keyboard-configuration GDM compatibility bug (divert kbd_mode)..
Failed to locate kbd package to patch. Aborting..
*/
kbd is installed , tried with kali and ubuntu both on vmware
Can you copy/paste the whole log above this error?
Hi!
Your problem was related to missing apt-fast. Check your screenshots above. The reason is that recent Bitscout uses apt-fast tool to download deb packages in multi-threaded mode. Apt-fast has to be downloaded from a separate repository. This could be done automatically if you ran git clone --recursive https://github.com/...
instead of normal git clone https://github.com/...
.
Anyway, you'd better try the new version of Bitscout, which downloads these dependencies automatically now. There are some major important updates, including write-blocker patch for Linux kernel. I strongly recommend to use that one in serious investigations. Beware, using custom kernel may significantly increase Bitscout build time (up to 3+ hours on some older systems)!
Feel free to not use custom kernel if you want just a quick demo or play with the tool in the lab.
Glad to hear that! I see you chose the minimal version. The medium is more useful and doesn't always need internet connection. Certain most essential software is on it, but you can always make your own selection, just modify scripts/chroot_install_base.sh where you see the list of packages. Good luck!
