From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Help me with QubeOS (as beginner) (lemmy.ml)

submitted 2 months ago by foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

8 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Hello, I'm beginner to QubeOS and I don't know really how to use it properly. I'm not really an absolute beginner in Linux (running it since 2 years), but I've never tried it and these I wanna try so installed it 2 days ago. At first it's very good, not laggy, etc.. It's what I want! But today I want to really set this thing up for every day use, but it's not really convenient to use for some of my use cases. So I need your help for global tips to use the system and for my use cases :

Never really liked use the default Firefox ESR + hardening, used the flatpak app of Mullvad, basically I want to know the way of installing apps
Want to set up "hacking" lab, mainly Kali or Parrot and other to use with the networking to "hack" them, basically I want to run multiples VMs

Thank you guys 😁

For the flatpak I would like to use them as I did on "normal" OS, basically to have a shortcut like any regular app. I want to use flatpak for apps that are not really available anywhere else but I could use Arch too btw.

I've installed the template of kali-core (available by default in the template manager), them create a qube with the kali-core template, and add all the apps available to the qube. Sadly I don't have all the apps that are normally present into Kali. Such as Ettercap and Wireshark EDIT : Nmap, SQLMap, Macchanger and much more are not available

So how do I set up a real VM this time to use it as a testing lab? With access to my network, etc... As we will do in Qemu. And the last thing. I found a template of Parrot OS but it's not in the "default" template manager how do I use that?

Thx

Maybe those apps are not installed by default in the template? Launch a terminal in the template and try to install ettercap and wireshark from there.

not in the "default" template manager how do I use that?

Never tried that, and I couldn't find anything about installing templates from local files on qubes wiki :(
Try qvm-template command in dom0 terminal and see if there are options to install template from local files there.

OK thanks, I've noticed that I got an update for the Kali template right after the install but this doesn't install the packages... Going to search for a solution.

EDIT : The template just included the kali-linux-core so there's almost nothing in it, so you need to browse the Kali meta packages to add the tools. I've chose kali-linux-default (~8GB) but there's a lot more like kali-linux-everything (~30GB)

Going to search how to add custom template too.

And do you any clue for running a VM and connect it to the network to make a "hacking" lab? EDIT : And for flatpaks?
