You’ll end up with a file called installed-software. Copy the file to a usb key and copy it to a location on your backtrack machine.
Run: “dpkg –set-selections < installed-software” in the directory where you copied the file installed-software.
Finally the “sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade” commands completes all of this. Be aware that is might take while until the installtion finishes.

If the above doesn’t work, you probably do not have dselect installed.
In that case, run “apt-get install deselect”
The above instructions also work on BackTrack 5

1. First download apache tomcat 7 linux version zipped file, then extract it.

2. now u place the tomcat wherever you like using following command

sudo mv apachetomcat /usr/local/tomcat

3. make *.sh file executable inside /usr/local/tomcat/bin folder

sudo chmod +x *.sh

make sure you are inside the /usr/local/tomcat/bin folder..

4. you can install open jdk and jre or sun jdk and jre.

define JAVA_HOME path in .bashrc file or /etc/environment file

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/sun-java-jdk…in my case..check yours

5. now write the script to run the tomcat at startup..

by creating a file tomcat in /etc/init.d directory

sudo nano /etc/init.d/tomcat

after that

in tomcat script file..

write script to start stop and restart

case “$1″ in

start)

sh /etc/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh

;;

stop)

sh /etc/local/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh

;;

restart)

sh /etc/local/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh

sh /etc/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh

;;

esac

exit 0

6. to run this tomcat script at startup, you can run this script in rc.local script which runs at startup or rc0 which is run at rebooting or rc6 which runs at shutdown..

for automatic handling by ubuntu,you can run following command

sudo update-rc.d tomcat defaults

it may show some warning message like LSB ..but you can ignore it because it is just a comment to write in any script in standard pattern.

reboot you computer or just login logout, you are ready to run your apache tomcat 7..

issue:: http://localhost:8080

for manager and host manager application of tomcat 7, you need to write following code..

sudo nano /usr/local/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml

That’s all done..

For check..some commands can be useful..

echo $JAVA_HOME

sudo update-alternatives –config java

sudo update-alternatives –config javac

sudo nmap -sU 127.0.0.1

and happy listening with realplayer plugin for Firefox 2

Note:

You can see why totem is responsible to play realaudio streams by typiing in the firefox url bar:

about:plugins

and if you try to play any real audio stream by means of firefox plugins, firefox will try to open totem and totem will complain saying that it can’t open a stream via the rstp protocol.
