Fix IcedTea "cannot grant permissions to unsigned JARs" error

Veröffentlicht von Florian am 18. März 2019

In case you are a Linux user unsuccessfully trying to connect to your IPMI/LOM Console using IcedTea / OpenJDK 8 or newer, you will likely run into this error.

You know, because if you're a major hardware vendor selling expensive enterprise class servers, you don't care about your IPMI hardware once you sold it.

Here's how to fix the issue on the client side:

Find the java.security file. In my case it is located in /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/security/java.security

Then find the row

jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, MD5, RSA keySize < 1024

Comment it out, copy it, delete the word "MD5".

jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, MD5, RSA keySize < 1024
jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, RSA keySize < 1024

Workaround of the month: Fix broken n32 o32 virtalenv on Gentoo mips when emerging spidermonkey-52.9.1pre1

Veröffentlicht von Florian am 7. Januar 2019

Virtualenv ist utterly broken when you run Gentoo on MIPS using n32.

This will lead to spidermonkey-52.9.1pre1 failing to emerge, because of "ImportError: No module named pkgutil" or the like. Here's how to fix it:

Step 1: as root, create a user patch directory and download my patch for virtualenv into it, so emerge applies it to the source as soon as you re-emerge the package

mkdir -p /etc/portage/patches/dev-python/virtualenv-16.0.0
wget -O /etc/portage/patches/dev-python/virtualenv-16.0.0/virtualenv-16.0.0-multilib.patch https://rephlex.de/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/virtualenv-16.0.0-multilib.patch.txt

Step 2: and download multiarch.patch into the directory we just created

Step 3: as root, test if the patch executes:

cd /usr/portage/dev-python/virtualenv
ebuild virtualenc-16.0.0.ebuild clean prepare

Step 4: re-emerge dev-lang/python-exec and dev-python/virtualenv

emerge dev-lang/python-exec dev-python/virtualenv

Step 5: Create a necessary symlink

ln -s /usr/lib32/python2.7 /usr/lib/python2.7

You're done!

I AM running Linux 4.12 in full 64 bits, gcc 8, a current glibc, and all the modern software. WITH audio. WITH accellerated graphics. And my root volume is on 3x147GB SCSI Software RAID-0 stripeset goodness. And yes, I do have multiple backups. Boom!

I build a Y-6 FPV Hexacopter

Veröffentlicht von Florian am 20. Oktober 2018

Here it is: A Y6 hexacopter build from scrap parts and a self printed TPU frame.

Pardon the build quality. I really hacked it together in a total of 4 hours. It looks like sh*t, but it flies SO GOOD!

It's running Betaflight 3.5. The motors are just some random Racerstars – two different sizes even! 2206 on top, 2205 on the bottom. The ESCs are two 20A and 4 30A (Racerstar and Makerfire).
