so a friend gave me a trezor to play around with (first edition), here's what I got so far ..
openend the box, read the manual, smelled the newness etc ...
1) went to mytrezor.com, clicked on download plug-in (.rpm for fedora) prompted for to save as a file Yumex can handle (assume that all the signing of the plug-in package is secure and taken care of correctly in the back-end but who really knows ... plug-in seems to install without error
2) connected the Trezor device, SElinux alerts go off immediately the plug-in tries to run ... checking into details for the SEAlert gives a few options for allowing mozilla plugins correct access to root locations ... ok, w/e
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/firefox/plugin-container from write access on the chr_file .
just playing at this stage so not going to allow that for real until I think through what it is trying to do but play along since I'm not putting any coins anywhere near this until I understand it
3) device connects and immediately get a firmware is out-of-date message that flashes up only long enough for me to read first two lines then disappears ... so need to keep disconnecting and reconnecting device until I can read the whole message ... I need to connect device while holding both buttons down simultaneously which needs both hands on the short cable
4) connect device while holding down both buttons and page asks do I want to update firmware ... sure what else am I going to do, rewrite it myself? ... the "Yes update" button seems to be non-responsive and then error message flashes up
Update Failed
b._session is null
and browser becomes very sluggish, cpu fan kicks in signifying usually a runaway process (most likely the mytrezor plugin I expect)
... I think that is far as I will be taking testing with the Trezor for today.
