Microsoft Teams opening up a blank login page

Hello,
I have no screen shots of this, but this is what is happening:
Windows 10, 1903
User opens Teams, it asks them to login then directs to a blank white screen. If you close the screen it brings you to a teams error -4c7
To fix this:
Step 1
(This step is possibly unneeded)
Apps and Features, remove teams. This won't remove it and you will be able to uninstall it over and over without it removing.
Repair Office, a quick repair is all that's needed. Then Teams will be ghosted.
This will allow you to delete the teams folders in App Data

Step 2
App Data > Local > Microsoft > Teams/TeamsMeetingAddin/TeamsPresenceAddin

App Data > Roaming > Microsoft Teams

App Data > Roaming > Microsoft > Teams

After deleting those folders, log into portal.office365.com and download Teams again.

User will be presented with the same white screen.
Close it and they will get a web login page, after putting in the email address Teams will pop up with a User/Password screen. Then finally a password on the previous web login page.


Update:
This may be tied to SSO

Update:
You may be able to just delete the Teams folders from App Data

Google Bing and Duckduck go redirecting

Note: This was a very specific issue I ran across in my environment. It came down to my Meraki MX84. It was running firmware 14.39 at the time, but I don't think that had anything to do with the issue.

The issue:

Search engines www.google.com www.bing.com and www.duckduckgo.com are being redirected. Yahoo comes up, but the search doesn't work. On some computers there is a TLS error, implying I am not running the right TLS settings (I had all checked). Others are being redirected to com.com.
I am able to get to www.google.com using a proxy server (good old spys.ru, or spys.one as of 2019).  But it thinks I'm a bot and the search itself isn't working.

Running a traceroute, some went to google's IP 172.217.2.4, others went to a forcesafesearch.google.com...
I initially ignored that and kept troubleshooting, but that was key information.

On the MX84, there is content filtering. Under Search Filtering, I had Web search filtering as well as Restrict YouTube content enabled. These were forcing the safe search option in the three browsers, and breaking the connection to the websites. Disabling the search filtering fixed my problem. If you're experiencing the same, might want to check content filtering on the firewall.

Wacom Intuos CTH 480 not working in photoshop

Windows 10 build 1809, fully up to date as of 5/27/2019
Photoshop CS6

Situation:
The Wacom pen would work as a mouse, I could draw in paint, but I could not draw in Photoshop. As soon as PS was the focused window, the pen would not move the cursor at all. The strange part was, I was able to use my finger on the Wacom tablet and the cursor would move in PS, I could even draw if I clicked the mouse button on my laptop and scribbled on the tablet. Obviously no pen pressure. I was able to draw in Illustrator also, weird.

I tried the normal fixes, disabling Windows Ink in the Wacom settings, even disabling Windows Ink totally with registry edits, but non of this helped.

What ended up fixing this is uninstalling all Wacom and reinstalling. Now, I did this uninstall/reinstall dance multiple times. The time it ended up working I did this:
Went to Device Manager (right click This PC and go to manage) and uninstalled the Wacom Tablet, including drivers (located under Human Interface Devices).
Then I uninstalled all versions of Wacom in Apps & Settings.
I downloaded and installed 6.3.34-3
Link to driver homepage: https://www.wacom.com/en-es/support/product-support/drivers
Direct link to driver: http://cdn.wacom.com/u/productsupport/drivers/win/professional/WacomTablet_6.3.34-3.exe

If these don't work, find the most recent driver on the wacom website. And who knows, maybe microsoft will auto recognize these down the road, like they do with wireless mice and keyboards. Making this whole post irrelevant.)

Once that version is installed, and Adobe is all up to date, go into Photoshop and move the mouse, if it works and its still not writing, make sure to click the buttons at the top of Photoshop for Always Use Pressure for Size.

Kali not updating

Environment: Fresh Kali download running on VirtualBox 6.0 (current)
Problem: after clean install, it will not update.

I originally found this trying to install OpenVAS.

sudo apt-get install openvas 

returned 

Unable to locate packages. 

sudo apt-get update did not do anything either. 

sudo leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list 

  

In that file, I copied the correct source file repository from here: 

https://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories 

 I used the Kali-Rolling 

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib 

Then I was able to run: 

Sudo apt-get update 

Sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (this took a VERY long time) 

Sudo apt-get install openvas 

netgear r7000 reboot loop with tomato

Situation:
Reboot loop when connected to WAN.
Disconnected WAN allows boot.

Fix:
I had this when I turned on "Check connections" under multi-wan.
Disabled that setting and didn't have a problem anymore.

Jabra 65t connected but no sound

Problem:
no sound to bluetooth headset. Headset is connected.

Hardware:
Jabra 65t bluetooth headphones
Apple iPhone 7 plus

Fix:
Remove Jabra App in my situation. There are some other fixes that might work for you that I went through below.


I recently had an issue where no sound would go to the headset. It was connected to bluetooth, and pressing the button on the right headset would control what I was listening to. I was able to open the last App I was listening too (which is a super useful feature of these, the Airpods do not do this.) and I was also able to stop it from playing using that button. I was able to bring up Siri with the button and the assistant would show what I said, however, I never heard what she had to say.

Using google searches, I tried restarting my phone, resetting my network settings, nothing seemed to work.

I was able to unpair and pair the device, and I would hear sound for about 15 seconds before sound would turn off again. It would click and sounded like white noise. This should have been my clue to the issue, but I didn't put 2 and 2 together for quite a while.

After some more fruitless googling, I starting thinking about that sound in my ear, that white noise. When I would launch a podcast the headset would click like it was getting ready to do produce audio, but then returned to white noise. And when I would stop audio it would again, make sounds like it was changing audio settings. But only white noise. The headset was connected fine, evidenced by Siri responding, the headset turning on in my ear, the phone seeing the connection etc. Then it finally clicked, HearThrough. It was the sound I would hear when HearThrough was turned on in the Jabra App. I played around with the hear through settings and it would turn it on and off in my ear, but as soon as I left that screen, the 'hear through' sound would come back.

The root problem: the Jabra App. As soon an I uninstalled that app, I could hear regular sound again. I might reinstall the App because I really liked the built in white noise tracks it had, particularly the Rain and Ocean tracks. But if the hear through issues are going to be a regular issue, I'll just have to find other white noise tracks.

If you have any good looping white noise tracks, let me know!

Virtualbox 6.x Ubuntu 18 and Auto Resize Guest Display

Hello,
I use Ubuntu in a VirtualBox machine as my primary web browser. My host OS is Windows 10. (I should probably swap this around, but whatever) After my 1803 update, virtual box crashed pretty frequently. At the time I was on one of the 5.x versions because it was stable. After the update and even 5.x being unstable, I went to 6.x
And by unstable, I mean the VMs refusing to load, getting error messages to reinstall virtual box, and even then then wouldn't load. Even new VMs would fail to load after installing Ubuntu.

So, I got 6.x working semi ok. I would get memory crashes of the VM, but I was able to restart. (Instruction at 0x... reference memory at 0x...) However, the video driver was being a pain. It wouldn't auto resize, and installing software would crash the display, reverting to 800x600.

To fix this, I tried more and less cpu cores, increased and decreased video memory, enabled and disabled 3d acceleration. None of this worked by the way.

I changed the graphics controller to VboxVGA and auto resizing was fixed.
And so far, it hasn't has a memory crash for the past hour, I will update if that comes back.

Group policy is not applying even though it says it is applying

I map my drives via a group policy. That group policy maps different drives to different user groups via item level targeting. The drives are mapped via Update (vs Create/Replace/etc)
I had one user that was not mapping drives.
Checking on the DC, it listed the group policies that applied, including the one I needed.
gpresult /r also showed the policy was applying, even though the shared drives were not there.

I logged in as another user, and the new user mapped their drives.

Original user did not.

What I did to fix this:

netsh winsock reset

(this was done logged in as the user)

Dumb, right?
Well, it worked in my situation.

Domain level 2012
Computer Windows 10 1803
Group policy with item level targeting.

accessing Plex server from another computer on the network

I've been running Plex for a while now, the computer running it is not in a convenient place to get a keyboard and monitor hooked up, but I found out I can access the server by https://(serverIP):32400/web
This is probably super dumb, but it makes it easier to scan for new media.

Plex is offline or unreachable with Tomato and Plex

I was getting the old "Plex is offline or unreachable" message on my Vizio TVs, iPhone would oddly play any movie, but the home page would not load. Roku would not play anything.
I had recently loaded Tomato 1.28.0000 -3.5-140 k26ARM USB AIO-64k. Plex was working fine before the firmware flash.

After doing some digging, I went through forums of port forwarding, enabling UPnP and NAT-PMP, all with no help.

What ended up fixing the issue was a setting called Prevent DNS-rebind attacks, I took the checkmark out and I was able to use Plex on all my devices.

Advanced Settings>DHCP/DNS>Prevent DNS-rebind attacks

Openvas on ubuntu 18

I only needed to use Openvas, so I thought I'd do it on Ubuntu. I didn't need the other tools, and since this was going to be a VM in my environment, I didn't want all those tools floating around.
I found this cool article:
https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-install-the-openvas-vulnerability-scanner-on-ubuntu-16-04/
It didn't work, so I did these things:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install PostgreSQL
sudo apt-get install openvas
sudo openvas-setup
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get redis
sudo service redis start
sudo openvas-start

fuck it, none of this worked.
I just loaded Kali.

openvas error 503 service temporarily down

If you found this page, I'll assume you have this error.

I'll also assume you've found numerous other sites with different fixes, none of which worked for you.

I also did the fixes, the rebuilds, all ended up with the 503 error.

I tried remove --auto-remove openvas and reinstalling.

Still error.

How I fixed it:

(this will be a fresh openvas, none of your reports or targets will be saved.)

sudo apt-get remove --autoremove openvas

sudo apt-get purge --autoremove openvas

Go into files and delete anything related to openvas, just drag it into the trash.

Empty the trash

Restart the machine

apt-get install openvas

openvas-setup

Login, create scan jobs and it'll work again.
