XBMC: Adding the ppa keys to apt

Fri, 08 Aug 2014 08:55:05 +0000

I recently bought an Acer Aspire Revo and had one of my trainees put XMBC on a SDHC card today. So after a bit of toying earlier, I started looking at the thing (from the command line that is).

One thing, if you enable the PPA (ppa.launchpad.net) sources, apt/aptitude is gonna babble something about an unverified key.

I ended up looking the error up (since I only have an Ubuntu desktop). There’s a simple solution for this:

NetApp FAS/Data ONTAP public key authentification with CIFS/NFS license

Well as the title says, sadly we bought our FAS6210 without CIFS/NFS license. Thus, in order to create the folder structure/add the authorized_keys file, you’ll have to work for your money a little bit.

First, you need to run cifs setup / cifs passwd somewhere. I did it on our Data ONTAP simulator, which comes in handy for things like that.

You’ll get a cryptic looking password (no clue which format that is), looking like this: _OnWddr)xa.

Work sometimes sucks

Today they finally let me fiddle around on an AIX 5.3 system. Well AIX ain’t bad, but misses (by default installation) some features and comfort.

The first thing I noticed, they only! install telnet and don’t even give an option to install sshd .. That sucks, especially if you’re supposed to log in via the internet (yay! an telnet open to the internet 😯)

So I googled a bit around and found out, that we should have some Bonus CD’s (from IBM of course) featuring openssl/openssh, looked into the cubicle behind the rack and look what I’ve found … Go, go … 😛
