Run Google Chrome on Backtrack
Manusia Tak Sempurna
To simply install google chrome on Backtrack 5,

apt-get install chromium-browser

However, developers of google chrome have not allowed root privileges. If you try to run it on backtrack, you will get an error.

Chromium can not be run as root
Please start Chromium as a normal user. If you have previously run Chromium as root, you will need to change the ownership of your profile directory.

To fix this, better say, to run chrome with root privileges, we need to hex edit the binary file, chromium-browser

cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser
hexedit chromium-browser
You are presented with the above screen. Quite complicated, is'n it? It allows you to edit data in both hexadecimal mode and in ascii mode. Its a very good  and useful tool.
Now we switch to ascii by pressing [TAB]

[tab]

Notice that cursor shifted to the right pane from the middle pane. Now you can edit in ascii. To undo any change you might accidentally make, press backspace.

ctrl+s to search for  geteuid


Now, modify the geteuid to getppid





Now, ctrl+X to exit saving changes.
And, google chrome now runs with root privileges.

Could not Connect to WICD's BUS interface BackTrack
Manusia Tak Sempurna
Actually this is a small thing, but it also will interfere ...

 
When we get Wicd to Bactrack if ever experienced an error message like this:
Could not connect to wicds D-Bus interface Check the wicd log for error messages

The solution is like this:
1. Login as root and exeute this command:

$ dpkg-reconfigure wicd
$ update-rc.d wicd defaults
2. If there is unprivileged user on BT, add that user to netdev group. 
$ usermod --groups netdev <user>
