Dude Linux Installation

Dude on Elive 1.0 Gem Linux, image captured from video

The Latest version of The Dude [1]

(v3.5) works properly as of January2010.

Requirements

•• Dude•• WGET (could already be installed

on your Linux system, butinstallation instructions are stillprovided)

•• Microsoft TrueType Core Fonts•• WINE

Installing WINE

There are various methods of installingWINE on the many Linuxdistributions. I will briefly cover Debian based systems and RedHat based systems.

Debian

WGET is installed by default on Debian systems. The fastest way to install WINE on Debian is by installing WINEvia the apt package manager:

apt-get install wine msttcorefonts

cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/* ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/

RedHat

Users that want the most current fonts are required to build the fonts yourself on Redhat based systems. The steps areoutlined here [2], though I have provided a link to an rpm that can be used.

yum install wget

yum install wine

wget -c http:/ / easylinux. info/ uploads/ msttcorefonts-1. 3-4. noarch. rpm

rpm -ivh msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm

mkdir -p /root/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/

cp /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/* ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/

Dude Linux Installation 2

CentOS

While CentOS originates from RedHat you the official repositories do not have the Wine package. You will need toinstall another one such as RPMForge [3]. Once the RPM is put in place, there are no configurations or even aconfiguration directory (~/.wine). A simple option is to run a Windows binary, such as tcpvcon.exe [4] and run:

wine tcpvcon.exe

This will create the configuration directories and some default configuration. Proceed with the Microsoft TrueTypeFonts at this point.

Installing The Dude•• Download Dude v3.5

wget http:/ / www. mikrotik. com/ download/ dude/ 3. 5/ dude-install-3. 5. exe

(get the latest version link from the DUDE page on mikrotik.com)•• Start the installer

wine ~/dude-install-3.5.exe &

Click Next

•• Choose the appropriate language for your install; currently onlyEnglish and Latvian are supported.

Choose your language then click Next

•• The user will be presented with a license agreement screen, accept ifyou agree.

Dude Linux Installation 3

Read the agreements and click I Agree

The user can choose, which components of Dude to install:•• Reset Configuration•• The Dude Client(required)•• The Dude Server•• Start Menu Shortcuts

Choose your options then click Next

•• Reset Configuration should be selected if you are updating Dude toa newer version.

•• The Dude Client is a required component, it allows your to connectto a Dude server

•• The Dude Server is the actual server component that generatedmaps and monitors services.

•• Start Menu Shortcuts installs shortcut links to The Dude executable

I will choose all components except Reset Configuration for this installation. This is the first time that Dudehas been installed on this system. Choose the appropriate component options accordingly.

•• Uncheck Dude Server if you already have Dude installed on another node on your network. This will allow you tologin and monitor the server node without the need to regenerate your current network maps.

• Dude will be installed to c:\Program Files\Dude by default, you may choose a different location here if need be.

Click Install

•• The installation is complete, you can choose to run Dude from theinstaller

Running Dude on Linux

The icon for Dude can be used to launch Dude in some WindowEnvironments on Linux , such as KDE, FLuxbox and GNOME. Theicon maybe be located in the menu under wine. Users ofEnlightenment, AfterStep and other Window Managers may need tocreate a launcher of some sort to run Dude without command lineintervention. An icon will be needed to add Dude to a Menu, Dock orBar.•• Running Dude from the command line

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Dude/dude.exe &

• Ubuntu user: (insight about gksudo [5])

gksudo wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Dude/dude.exe &

Note [6]: you should start the Dude from the root user (or delegate some permissions to your regular user), or else theDude will not be able to ping hosts. Local mode - this option will not work for Linux users running the Dude underWine, you should use remote connection to 127.0.0.1 host instead to connect to the local Dude server. Remoteconnection by default uses TCP port 2210 for regular mode, and TCP port 2211 for secure mode, so make sure theseports are not limited by a firewall. The ports may be changed in the server's Global Settings menu. The defaultusername for connecting to a server is “admin” with no password. You can change this later

Custom Dude IconsUsers may use these custom icons that I had developed for Dude on Linux. These icons can be used to add Dude toyour menu, ibar, or Desktop.

Prototype I use this one This looks Good This looks Nice

IssuesFonts missing from network maps, graphs

From within the Dude client, choose Files from the dude's left nav bar. Click the + to upload a file. Browse toyour local Program Files\Dude\data\files\ and upload the three .ttf files listed (arial.ttf, Vera.ttf,VeraMono.ttf). More detail in this thread [7].

"Invalid OID" errorsLines between nodes in the Network Map may give stats, yet still say invalid oid in many spots. Choose MibNodes from The Dude's navigation. From the File tab, click the + to upload MIBs from \ProgramFiles\Dude\data\files\mibs\. If you have the space, upload them all. If not, upload at least mikrotik.txt andSNMPv2-*.txt.
