Installing Google Chrome in Backtrack 5

As many of you have noticed Google Chrome doesn't come installed in Backtrack 5.

So, in this post we will learn how to install it.
The installation was made in Backtrack 5 R3.


Step 1

Open a new command session and type:

apt-get install chromium-browser

Step 2

Access the chrome browser directory:

cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser

Install Pyrit and the same as CUDA but now for ATI

In this post I was about to present here the opponent of CUDA.

If you have a nVIDIA driver you should use CUDA, and for that you should follow this link:How to Install Cuda on nVIDIA Optimus

If that's not your case and you have an ATI you should go for OpenCL.

I could make a tutorial here, how to install it, but actually in backtrack wiki you can find a very good one, done with the contribution of "g0tmi1k". Check it here: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/index.php/Install_OpenCL

I'll show you some result I got using pyrit:

Hardware:

Running in 32Gb USB drive
OS: Backtrack 5 R3
Display Card: AMD Radeon HD 6950 DirectCUII 1GB GDDR5
CPU: Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz
RAM: 4096MB

As far as I can say, I advice the use of ATI drives to crack passwords, because they are really much faster then CUDA imo.

How to Install CUDA on nVIDIA Optimus with Backtrack 5 R3

In this post you will learn how to setup a notebook with nVidia Optimus technology working with CUDA.

All this information that I will present you here, would not be possible without the help of "Samiux" that helped me to pass through this problem.
You can find his blog here: http://samiux.blogspot.hk

This was tested in my own notebook with the below specs:

Brand : Asus n82jv-vx072v
CPU : Intel i5 450M, 2.4Ghz
RAM : 4096MB DDR3 1066
Display card : nVidia GeForce GT335M 1G VRAM DDR3

Fix Blank Screen when using Startx

When Backtrack 5 was released, the most common issue was blank screen when using "startx" command to start the GUI mode. This common issue is caused by the unsupport drivers of VGA on some machines. This blank screen issue is still found on Backtrack 5 R1,R2 and recently  Backtrack R3.
When I install Backtrack 5 R3 I came across this problem, but managed to find a fix:
What we need to do is add some code to the Grub file.
If you're using a live CD or live USB you will come across with the below menu, and there you should select the "Default Boot Text Mode" and press "Tab".
You should then, add the following code "i915.modeset=1" to the grub editor after the "vga = 791 splash text" and then press[enter].as

If after installing Backtrack the problem persist you should then edit the Grub configuration file located in /etc/default/grub
Find the line that says:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

and add the same code "i915.modeset=1" after the "vga = 791 splash text".

After it issue:

update-grub and fix-splash commands.

It should be working properly now.
If not, check my next two Fix's.
