Google Chrome at Backtrack

Google Chrome is the lightweight browser which develop by Google. This browser is available for cross-platform, you can install on Windows, Mac, Linux, etc. Beside it, you can adding some add-on which available at Chrome Web Store. This is the best choice for netbook user, because Google Chrome don't make your browsing looks like a snail.
When you run on GNU/Linux, Backtrack especially, there's a Chromium Web-Browser the optional choice beside Google Chrome. You can install Chromium by type apt-get install chromium-browser at Ubuntu/Debian based. But when you install Chromium, you won't able to adding some add-on in Chrome Web Store. To install any add-on you must install Google Chrome.
Let's get it. First, download Google Chrome installer, you can go here. Choose 32 bit.deb (Debian/Ubuntu) because, Backtrack 5 is the derivative of Ubuntu, then Accept and Install. Wait until the download package was completed.

Stay cool, there's two method to fix this problem. First, you can add another user as administrator or user desktop, but you will need to type sudo, every you need root privilege. And the second, modify Google Chrome which can run by root. I will use the second choice.

Right click the main menu, then select edit main menu. Find Google Chrome at Applications >> Internet >> Google Chrome, click Properties. You will see the directory where Google Chrome is stored, at /opt/google/chrome see the Command field.

terima kasih sebelumnya, silahkan ulangi langkah-langkahnya secara urut, bisa jadi anda lupa pencet tab saat berada di hexedit, ini untuk mengubah mode di hexedit dari Hex ke ASCII. Kemungkinan kedua, anda salah mengedit executable file Google Chrome, file executable yg diubah adalah chrome, bukan google-chrome.

Jika masih terjadi kesalahan, silahkan tenya kembali ke sini

I must type on the terminal to set up the interface, then set the IP and netmask, etc. After setting the interface connection, I also must to configure  iptables to forwarding the internet connection from the other interface into eth0 , and the last step I must turn on forwarding rule. It's really fun, although need several step to do it. But, when I am using Kali Linux, I realise that the step which can I do on backtrack doesn't running on Kali Linux.

Bypassing Nokia Maps N9

Nokia N9 have maps application, both of Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive are related one to other. But the same problem with Nokia Drive on Nokia N9 also occur in Nokia Maps (see here ). Nokia Maps also need logged in Nokia Account before you can use Nokia Maps. So I think the same way with bypassing Nokia Account in Nokia Drive will be succeed too in Nokia Maps. The same step can be read on my previous post here , until preparing the configuration Nokia Drive download. Okay let's go! First, make sure you have installed Filebox and setting to show hidden files and show root filesystem. Open browser on your N9 and download Modified Nokia Maps Configuration here . Don't press clear when the download has finished, just tap Done. Go to Filebox, and navigate to /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads , you'll found Maps.conf there, copy and paste this file into /home/user/.config/Nokia . But I recommend you if there's existing Nokia Maps Configuration backup it into Maps.conf.bak the
