[>] Update Script for Backtrack 5.

[Eatme]

after running your script, i get

pyrit list_cores
X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  136 ()
  Minor opcode of failed request:  19
  Serial number of failed request:  8
  Current serial number in output stream:  8

fixed by:
uninstalling ATI driver

#: locate fglrx-uninstall.sh
#: cd
#: sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh
reboot

install latest driver "ati...11-8....run"

after its finished:
#: fix-splash

Eatme,

That might be a different issue, but I still get a error on pyrit no file directory.

Checked out revision 308. python: can't open file 's_e_tup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

i created a diff to fix.

@lajjr it was fixed in the last version of the script, just update the script and try again

Thanx Sickness , it works really great! appreciate all the hard work!

Sickness,

Please check the pyrit part please I still get the error . If I was wrong I would just let it be, but I use pyrit alot so when I update pyrit there is the error. I did check out the newest version of your script last time and this time same~ same. Can you take a look and thanks for the great work.

Regards,
Leo

Checked out revision 308. python: can't open file 's_e_tup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

setup.py is misspelled.. thats why.. lol

Hello everyone...very nice script sickness!Well done1
Now my question: i've tried to update BT5 to BT5R1 through the script and the first option. Now when i boot the machine i have both kernels and when i choose the R1 version it gives an error:
ALERT!/dev/disko/my-uuid/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx does not exist. Dropping to a shell, and does not let me boot but it gives me only a few options.
Where is the problem? Do i have to fix something with the grub? I also have win7 installed and i have the gnome BT

Thank you very much in advance

SOLVED....installed a fresh copy of BT5R1 (I also tried through a live cd to install a new kernel (3.0) or the old kernel (2.6.38) but nothing happened, because i was always getting the same error at the reboot)

nice and useful script, thanks for this.

just one little "cosmetic" issue, the script itself says it's still v1.1
so maybe you just missed a single char

cheers phk
