do regex work with find in osx?
i feel like i must be doing something daft, I'm just trying
find . -type f -regex '.*?\.csv'
digital haven
@rustic sky hrm, yeah that worked here as well, so my .*? was stupid, but I thought that was necessary in order not to just greedy match there
so I've clearly missed something obvious
rustic sky
yeah not sure either
digital haven
maybe it needs -E
apparently not
i try and not use basic regex as it confuses me, but maybe i just use BRE for this π€
digital haven
yeah i thought -E did that

not for find, no. that's a grep option

there's a difference between mac and linux find versions here then?
i didn't get -E to work anyway :/
seems to be

WELL I CAN NOT TYPE IT IS TOO SLOW
it is like about to crash or something
72% memory, memory around 20-30 on average
fickle granite
I've been poking at computers for a loong time, and still don't have a quick recipe to diagnose slowness
I'd look at "top" to see if some process is using all the CPU. Then I'd see if some process is using enough memory to cause it to page ... then I'd look to see if some process is keeping the disk busy

how can i download linux cmd line on my mac? I just want to use the cmd line to practice commands
is there a website i could go to? on my PC i was able to download a ubuntu app that was just the cmd line
spice relic
linux and mac are the same cmd lines?
uneven silo
yes basically
uneven silo
for the most part
they use the same shell
for example, bash or zsh
you probably use bash when you downloaded ubuntu on your pc
I think mac uses zsh by default now
they're very similar
main olive
Hi
main olive
@spice relic Anonymous is right in the matter that the two shells use the same syntax, but there are some pretty important differences between the binaries the two systems have (ie the commands you can run). If you want to practice Linux commands, you should get a Linux VM or Docker image.
fickle granite
what xx said
also you can get a cloud virtual machine for not too much money -- amazon ec2, linode, &c
fickle granite
@spice relic probably the easiest and cheapest option is to 1) use the built-in terminal; 2) install "homebrew". Homebrew will bring you a bunch of command-line programs that are more similar to their Linux counterparts than the ones that are built-in to the mac.

but how would it know what the .tar file is called? I don't want to create the .tar file on localhost even if it is temporary because lack of space. I have enough memory. Even if it is lacking it can still use swap memory.

weird thing is it was working this morning
i had it installed and for some reason python just decided to either delete it or just not see it
rain mason
ah
how can i downgrade to 3.7?
ik these are completely noob questions and i'd usually be able to figure them out myself i'm just tired out of my mind rn
placid hatch
you can keep python 3.8. What I usually do is:
apt-get install python3.7 python3.7-pip
python3.7 -m pip install ...
@placid hatch I'd do something like
ssh root@10.0.0.5 'tar zcf - /mnt/somefolder' | tar zxf -
used this to create a semi-full backup of a rootfs from a device I can ssh into but not a lot of space on it
z flag because i've found that the potential transfer rate gains outweigh the overhead of compressing
if that makes sense
alternatively, you can just pipe into dd
if you don't want to extract
so something like
ssh root@10.0.0.5 'tar zcf - /mnt/somefolder' | dd of=backup.tar.gz
Thank you!

I got a recommendation to put one of my SSD volumes on f2fs. I'm using OpenSUSE and I'm reading it's no longer an option for this OS. Has anyone experienced this to be true?
glossy geyser
Really basic question here. My exam preview asks the following question:
What is the output for:
$ ls | *.csv
I understand what each piece is doing independently, but I'm not sure what piping ls to all .csv files would achieve and attempting it on my computer gives me the following error:
'*.csv' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Which makes sense to me, but obviously the professor expects this to work and it's driving me insane.
Sorry for my lack of proper code formatting. I'm not sure how to format code blocks on this server yet (this is my first actual post here), so if someone could point me in that direction as well I would be grateful. Thanks for any and all help!
glossy geyser
Exactly. π
warped nimbus
Have you asked your professor or classmates?
glossy geyser
She just made these available after our last period and the exam is tomorrow, so probably no time for that.
I guess when she asks for the output, I'll just write down the error message.
Haha
warped nimbus
maybe it was a trick question all along
or just a typo. another thing that would make sense is
ls *.csv
glossy geyser
Maybe so, though she hasn't used trick questions for any of our other exams so we'll see.
I appreciate the second opinion, Mark. I thought I was missing something fundamental about piping output.
warped nimbus
Maybe I am missing something too π€
fickle granite
seems to me that if you typed it accurately into your command line, then whatever you observed is authoritative
glossy geyser
She's gaslighting us all
You're right, I should trust the command line more than any prof. I've had some doozies before where I've had to ask for a regrade because they marked me wrong for valid code.

Hello π Does anyone know where i can go to download the new python, or what command it is? (i have version 2.7.16 and need the updated version)
white solar
Which version do you want to get
tall coyote
^ they're on a Mac
cosmic pine
I believe its the one above 3, one thatβs able to run async and that stuff π Forgot the exact number, i could look it up if needed
white solar
3.7
cosmic pine
Yeah that
white solar
Well, the simplest way to do that is through python.org
cosmic pine
is there like a specific place i need to go to download it? When i downloaded it, it just updates python3 and my other one stays at 2.7
cosmic pine
hm, well for python i have 2.7 and python3 itβs updated to 3.8 but async still shows up as syntax errors
tall coyote
I actually assume you do have both Python 2 and 3, but your editor is using 2
white solar
How do you import async @cosmic pine
cosmic pine
Well, i have a screenshot of the code i have in #async-and-concurrency . Iβm not sure 100% since i just started trying to code with tutorials
tall coyote
could you run a terminal and enter python --version and then python3 --version?
cosmic pine
Python version: 2.7.16
Python3 version: 3.8.0
tall coyote
then yeah, you do have both (which is normal in MacOS and any Linux distro)
you should find a way to tell your editor (if you want to run your program from there) to launch it from python3 and not python
cosmic pine
Yeah that makes a lot more sense lol. iβll try looking that up in a bit. Thank you again for your help, and saki! ^^

ubuntu's pakage manager lets you choose "cutting edge" software sources.

Also building your own from source is possible, although tricky if you're not used to doing that

south star
there are tools for that kind of things, z for example is a shortcut to jump the most recent folder of a specific name you went to, https://github.com/rupa/z/ or fuzzy search in shell using fzf is quite nice too.
but if you really want what you asked for you could just use something like echo "alias $project_name='cd $project_path/project_name'" >> ~/.bashrc at the end of your script
to format code on discord you use triple backticks, like this
```
your code goes there

warm robin
Might be a dumb question, but why do you need to install Python 3.6+ via an external repository on Ubuntu 16?
Is it because it's no longer maintained?
worn apex
probably
at some point they maintain only for security not new significant versions of packages
warm robin
Right
worn apex
there's also the goal of stability
ubuntu 16.04 is maintained until 2021 due to being the LTS version, but
oak shell
16.04 is still maintained. But they normally freeze the "main" version of software an LTS release comes with and stay with that.
worn apex
it's assumed that if you're using that it's specifically because you don't want to be updating to new versions of everything every few months and dealing with whatever's changed
oak shell
so as 16.04 was released with 3.5.x, it stays with the latest 3.5
worn apex
the theory is that if you wanted a new version of python why wouldn't you want a new version of ubuntu
warm robin
@oak shell Ah that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up
oak shell
easiest way to get newer (also older) Python versions on Ubuntu LTS is the deadnsakes PPA.
worn apex
keeping 16.04 around this long is something that only really makes sense if you have an app that works and you don't want to rock the boat
warm robin
@oak shell That's what I did, but I only asked to see if there was a better method.
I guess there isn't.
worn apex
the better method is to upgrade ubuntu π
oak shell
warm robin
@worn apex Wish I could, but the computer I needed to install python 3.6 on can't handle anything after 16.04.

Annoying thing that is making me go crazy: after doing an apt upgrade a few days ago something seems to have decided to mess with my iptables on every boot (input and output set to block). I installed iptables-persistent and it runs fine but whatever that rogue thing is it's running afterwards, so I have to manually set the rules in terminal. Anyone know a sane way to diagnose or fix this?
main olive
I've had something like this with another program... what I ended up doing was move the iptables binary somewhere else entirely and replace it with a wrapper script, which had something like this in it:
#!/bin/bash
< /proc/$PPID/cmdline tr '\0' ' ' >> /tmp/whocalled
/my/real/iptables $@
@warm wolf what this does is it logs every call to iptables before executing the real one

ty that's smart, I'll give it a try

oh, you should probably echo a newline into that file as well
otherwise it might get very messy very fast

wispy idol
Hello guys, I'm currently going through the book "the linux command line"
but I'm on a mac
would you say it matters?
or should I install a linux distro
fickle granite
it does and it doesn't.
wispy idol
for example, sometimes the --long options doesn't work on mac
fickle granite
yeah, Mac is from a slightly different branch of the "unix family tree"; you'll find a lot of little discrepancies like that.
you can install homebrew, and get their versions of the various tools -- they're generally much closer to (often identical with) the linux versions
or you can install (say) VirtualBox, and then install a genuine Linux distro, and run it
that's a fairly large download, and requires a bit of effort; but it works well
fickle granite
you could use "vagrant" to make it easier
parallel iirc means you reboot your laptop, and then get to choose to boot Mac vs something else
I've never tried it, but I figure it's kind of inconvenient
wispy idol
I already have homebrew
fickle granite
with vagrant/virtualbox you don't have to reboot
fickle granite
ah, "where to learn it" is not going to be super-easy: homebrew has plenty of docs, but as you've probably noticed, they all assume you know a lot about linux
wispy idol
what is homebrew exactly?
fickle granite
I'd try virtualbox, and perhaps vagrant to make it a bit easier to use (although it's not that hard)
wispy idol
it it like a package manager
fickle granite
homebrew is a collection of free software that's really easy to install on a mac
yes: they call themselves "the missing package manager for mac"
so you could say, right now, brew install findutils, and you'd then gave "GNU find", which is more unix-y than the version you now have
wispy idol
so basically intsalls software for mac that matches that of linux
fickle granite
yes.
wispy idol
this is so complicated though
fickle granite
it's still not exactly the same, but it's much more similar than what you now have
wispy idol
I just started to learn programming
fickle granite
this stuff is only somewhat related to programming
you can do plenty of python without homebrew or unix
wispy idol
is unix the command line language?
fickle granite
another option, if you don't mind spending some money: get a cloud host, like from Amazon EC2, or linode, or something like that.
Unix is a family of operating systems, all of which traditionally come with a command line.
MacOS is arguably unix
wispy idol
oh
fickle granite
but there are "branches" of the family tree; Linux you could say is on the "GNU" branch, whereas MacOS is on the "BSD" branch. They are sort of cousins.
or they're like chimpanzee versus organg-utan
wispy idol
ok
sage solar
Basically the history for MacOS goes
Unix -> BSD -> more BSD -> XNU (MacOS)
and linux
Unix -> Minix -> Linux
fickle granite
similar in many ways but also different in some ways
fickle granite
nothing wrong with that
wispy idol
don't really need linux for programming now
fickle granite
if you're programming, you won't run into many differences at all.
I regularly write little python toy programs, and they work exactly the same on MacOS as on Amazon Linux, for example
sage solar
you open a command line and enter homebrew
wispy idol
ok

a process runs as root or not, you can't have part of your app happen "as root" and not others
so either you run the whole script as root, or you use subprocess to run this part as root

so im trying to install chromium os on a spare surface 3 i have. i got it to boot the usb, i get the chromium splash but then it nothing ever happens. it just finally goes to a black screen ( i think turning off)
magic basin
Is it faster to print in python or to use os.system(βecho ...β) @south star
south star
print i'm sure
os.system needs to start a subshell, so a new process, with your user's shell inside, setup variables, create input/output streams, and then inside that a new echo process, unless it's a function in that shell, and again input/output, etc, print just write to an existing output stream
the difference in time would be negligible unless you print millions of them i'm sure, but why would you prefer to use os.system for that i can't imagine
starting python is slow, if you start it thousands of times just to print one thing each time, it's clearly wasteful, but once it's started, you can do a lot with it and that's fine

how can i compile python code to binary ?
i am suing python3.8.1
i tried nutika but it doesnt support python3.8 yet..

I have setup a linux user and tried to limit its access to one specific directory. However when trying to connect using FTPS using FileZilla I'm getting
Error: FATAL ERROR: Network error: Software caused connection abort
Error: Could not connect to server```
I'm not sure how to troubleshoot itin /etc/ssh/sshd_config I have the correct settings afaik:
Match user gta
ForceCommand internal-sftp
ChrootDirectory /mer/
Oh and it worked before I changed the directory permissions of my /srv/fivem directory so basically because it caused this issue I'd removed the user, the directories and restarted with the information about, in directory /mer/ and with user gta
also for my main user wiht sudo power it does work which is ... strange.. because gta is a fresh user

is there a way to unset HISTFILE in vscode's launch.json for python debugger? its polluting my history, reverse search becomes impossible
main olive
@rain moth I set the following in my .zshrc, you can put it in your .bashrc or whatever
if [[ "$TERM_PROGRAM" = "vscode" ]]; then
unset HISTFILE
fi
or the shorthand
[[ "$TERM_PROGRAM" = "vscode" ]] && unset HISTFILE
if that's your thing
main olive
mind you this also disables history in the integrated terminal, but I personally never use it
rain moth
@main olive thank you fam
i ended up writing a postDebugTask in python to delete the vscode debugger commands from my history, each command is like a page in length with an ungodly amount of arguements lol
with fileinput.FileInput(filename, inplace=True, backup=".bak") as file:

i'm having a user run a python file in their .bashrc when they logon... this python file also opens other files.. but i am getting the error message:

well then check the permission flags for that file with a quick n dirty ls
magic basin
it seemed to have stopped working when i edited it using root... is that a thing?
do files suddenly stop working after root has edited them?
sage solar
files of course dont stop working
but if root owns the file of course other users dont have read or write permission to it unles you explicitly set the corect flags
fickle granite
@magic basin of course that's a thing. The file is probably now owned by root.
A good text editor will make sure that doesn't happen, but ...

Hello, I've launched a python program with the -m option, I'd like to know how to kill it. I tried pkill my_prog but it didn't work
silver tide
idk if it's the proper way to do it, but I'd just find the process's pid using ps ux | grep python and then do kill <pid here>
oak shell
no ps|grep please. You can use pgrep for that. pgrep -af for showing and matching the complete command-line.
and pkill -f for killing all that matched with the same pattern you checked with pgrep -af
frank coral
Yep, I used prep -af to find the process id
silver tide
@oak shell thanks, what's wrong exactly with ps|grep though?
oak shell
it's mainly less convenient. e.g. you'll always get the grep process listed too, and it matches across all columns of the ps output, not only the command.
frank coral
Another silly question. I launched a python program on the shell via ssh and I would like to close the shell (and/or the connexion), without closing the program.
oak shell
for human eyes it's good enough because you can filter it further and pick the entry you want, but especially scripts should not use it, because working around those issues requires much more complexity than simply using the tool made for the job
You'd need to start the command with nohup/disown, or e.g. in a screen.
Or if it's something you want to have running permanently, like a bot or server, you should make a systemd service for it instead.
silver tide
@oak shell ah right, sure
frank coral
I'll into systemd, but for a quick fix, I think nohup is perfectly what I want
nohup worked perfectly, ty

can somebody explain me what this sequence thing does en what $1.$ip exactly defines?
warped nimbus
$1 is the first arg given to the script
$ip is the current number in the sequence of the for loop
seq just creates numbers from 1 to 254
and the for loop does a ping and grep for each number

While vagrant was installing it was altering boot files
I've been trying on it for a while, I'm on page 7 of Google
I guess I'll have to do a fresh install :/
oak shell
The main problem seems to be the last red error, about the dev-mapper-isw_whatever.device
oak shell
that looks like it's trying to initialize some RAID array but failing for whatever reason.
could you systemctl status dev-mapper-isw.... (use TAB to autocomplete)
rain moth
I did wipe root just now :/
Problem is I need vagrant to test my deployment scripts
Idk what else to use
That's all I needed it for
oak shell
not sure if vagrant can be to blame for that. Might also be a hardware problem that just occured now as a coincidence π€
you said dual boot, does the other OS on this array still work?
rain moth
I have a install bash script that intun whenever I chance distros
I rebooted after each install until vagrant was installed
Tested it 3 times with fresh Ubuntu installs
Vagrant always sent me to emergency mode
Yeah windows loads fine it's not affected
It's on its own set of partitions
oak shell
hmm. I only used vagrant once, not much experience with it or knowledge about what it does that could have an effect here
rain moth
I would tar my root if you ever thought about installing it lol
Burned a whole day recovering settings

vagrant might be installing, or messing with, some virtualization stuff
rain moth
Yeah I saw it in the terminal it was messing with /boot
How do you guys test deploying a Django app for example, do you just test it on the cloud instance?

is it best practice to use underscores for spaces when naming files?
fickle granite
yes
spaces in file names break all sorts of stupid tools
they're stupid, but sometimes you need them

underscores or just dashes
I personally think dashes look better for lower-case-things and underscores for UPPER_CASE_THINGS
i'm in this predicament, i installed minimal iso of debian buster, but in order to get access to the internet i usually have to go thru this procedure of logging into the intranet of my dormitory. But I can't do that with no browser, can't have no browser with no gui, can't have no gui without installing it, can't install it cause got no internet. Anyone got any clue whatsoever how to deal with this?
fickle granite
underscores and dashes are both safe in file names
although I wouldn't start a file name with a -, that might confuse some unix-y command-line tools

@main olive headless browsers do exist
oak shell
yeah sure, but probably not preinstalled...

Surely you can install a package offline

Ive never worked with headless browsers, and never actually tried to look for/install packages offline. Could you provice any more specifics?
I can load some packages onto a flash drive and presumably install it that way, but I can't imagine logging into anything with no gui. how's that work?

@main olive links doesn't work?
@main olive what is links?
console based browser
I haven't tried anything yet, @school now. I read on some headless browsers, still dont fully understand how the interaction works
ill try it
commonly included with distros, IIRC Arch comes with it
not sure what you're running
i got debian buster minimal, nearly nothing
will need to hand install it
ah yeah probably need to use usb or something to install it
alternatively, use Burp or something to see what request is made to the web gateway and repeat that on the Debian machine with curl
its basically an extremely basic login screen that runs on a mikrotik
even more alternatively, share a connection from an already connected machine
if nothing else helps ill just do manual post

So I heard that it is better to use Linux for Python app development, can someone explain the reasons of that?
uneven silo
- That's totally subjective
- Even so, I agree with it because Linux is much centralized in terms of software packages and whatnot
fickle granite
I'd say it's only 50% subjective
uneven silo
How so?
fickle granite
Python is open-source; most open-source was designed, explicitly or implicitly, to run on "open" platforms. Linux is the only open platform. MacOS isn't too different, but Windows is very different.
uneven silo
Uh
fickle granite
So if you use Windows, some stuff will work fine, but I lot of stuff either won't work at all, or will require you to do relatively obscure stuff
fickle granite
e.g., on Windows, some python packages are hard to install because they assume you have a C compiler available; I don't think that's the case on the average windows system
sure but the world includes more than "pure python code".
uneven silo
Well yea
fickle granite
and we don't know what @clever skiff intends to do; perhaps image manipulation, or buidling a GUI
uneven silo
Which are fine on windows without a C compiler
fickle granite
shrug
wrong examples, perhaps.
let me rephrase: I have explained why I prefer Linux for python development. Others may have other opinions.
spice relic
how do i rename a VM using VirtualBox? When I go to the VMs settings the name is grayed out
tall coyote
do you have any VMs running? (I didn't realize this question was asked an hour ago)

@spice relic you need to fully stop it, not just suspend
main olive
? You just create them
I'm not sure I understand the question
you can make any number of snapshots
spice relic
where are the saved states?
i only know that if i exit the vm it asked if i want to save the state
oh do i just slick Take whiel the VM is running?
main olive
yes
spice relic
oh i didnt know saved state isnt the same as powered off π
main olive
that's what I said earlier
spice relic
oh i missed your comment mb

I think this is the right channel to ask this
if I want to dual boot Ubuntu, can I just shrink a volume on Windows to create empty space, and then install from a boot drive?
i.e. I don't have to explicitly create a partition on Windows
main olive
shrink from the boot drive, it comes with a tool for it (gparted)
shrinking a mounted and in-use partition is a bad ideaβ’οΈ even if windows let you do it
spice relic
how come when a snapshot is created, it appears as if its a child folder? It makes me think that if I delete snapshot 1 it will delete everything under it
warped nimbus
I think it will
That is how it works in vmware at least
They are incremental snapshots rather than full ones each time
Deleting snapshots won't revert the current state though

@fickle granite why are you so salty?
oak shell
"decepted"? You mean "deprecated"?
Also you didn't state any details about what OS you use, what kind of Java you installed and how, etc. That would be required.
And the full and exact output with these error messages would be good too.

@red raven Actually you should have used update-java-alternatives, because there's about a dozen commands related to java that all need to be updated together - which this tool does for you. Also for JavaFX you need to sudo apt install openjfx, as that library is packaged separately from openjdk.

Look here
main olive
cut -d ' ' -f "some code here" $@
input data eg.
1 2 3 4 5
first number should be as a field's number and rest as a argument list for cut command
I though about using 2nd cut right there, but I don't know how to place it
like so (it's a concept - does NOT work)
cut -d ' ' -f (cut -d ' ' -f 1 $@) $@
but I think inner $@ will steal all arguments, so outer cut won't have anything to work on
oak shell
so for 1 2 3 4 5 you want 2 as output, 4 12 34 56 78 90 would be 78 etc?
oak shell
@main olive I think you can do that with a single variable expansion directly in Bash.
echo "${@:$1+1:1}"
this syntax does slicing of the positional argument array, returning 1 element starting from the index $1+1 (+1 because we want to skip the first item that works as index parameter)
myfunction() { echo "${@:$1+1:1}" ;}
myfunction 4 12 34 56 78 90
# output: 78
friends don't let friends write Bash

better than PS or cmd scripts
fickle granite
certainly better than cmd. Dunno about powershell; I've never used it. (It sounds like it has some good ideas, though)
rotund imp
I've only heard good things about powershell
warped nimbus
My understanding is it can be quite powerful as it has access to a (subset?) of .NET APIs
It's not like shell scripting where one relies on subprocesses
Well, maybe that's the wrong word. I mean it doesn't need to delegate work to external binaries like awk, grep, etc
uneven silo
it is powerful, but its awkward
main olive
what I like and simultaneously dislike about Powershell is that everything is an object
it makes some things beautifully elegant and other things fugly as hell
mind you, most of my experience with it is due to Yara or similar
south star
yeah, that was one of the big ideas about it, didn't use it much, but it does seem kind of weird, for a shell language, and definitely different from the simplicity of piping (even if this simplicity makes it very limited in some situations)
weak estuary
worth getting linux as a applied physics major?
digital haven
@weak estuary what does "getting linux" mean?
weak estuary
change windows for a linux distro @digital haven
digital haven
@weak estuary depends what you're using it for
if your course uses sw that's all windows then there might not be much point
weak estuary
ehm general engineering programs and questions, school related work only
and private projects
school pcs use ubuntu linux
digital haven
if you want to use linux and there are no dependencies on windows from uni then it can't hurt really
weak estuary
is it advantagous in the long run?
i mean it seem to get pretty good because of the cmd
digital haven
it's a massive "how long's a piece of string" question though. If the question is "is knowing how to use the terminal useful" then my answer would be yes, it's useful
weak estuary
and then some distros makes you able to customize all which seems fun
digital haven
linux won't make you good at bash scripting, or shell scripting, i think plenty of people use it without
weak estuary
but ppl been telling me windows command line is bad
use linux
i personally find windows cmd to work decent
digital haven
cmd is crap afaik yeah ha, I've never had to use it though π
ah ok , well if it's working all good i guess... like i say - i've never needed to use cmd
digital haven
because i don't use windows, mac / linux, yes
weak estuary
i see, which distro do you recommend?
digital haven
don't think it matters, lubuntu is fine
weak estuary
i wouldnt mind changing to ubuntu, but somehow i in someway crash the installation
i get my usb bootable
then when i click install in the preview env, it freeze
i thought asking someone at uni next week
digital haven
can't hurt... whenever i've installed i've just wiped windows and replaced
weak estuary
i see, is it hard to setup the environment to work
like eclipse and stuff
in path variables
digital haven
idk i don't use eclipse, but i expect it's pretty straight forward
weak estuary
okay ill keep it in mind thanks
digital haven
π imo thinking about which distro is a waste of time
lubuntu is light and you'll find solutions easily bc it's ubuntu based.
you'll have terminal/browser/editor open... they all look pretty much the same at that point
digital haven
personally i don't care as i have browser/editor/terminal... it's easy to dl yes
digital haven
idk, not been an issue for me

You can also install Linux and Windows giving you the option to use whatever you prefer at the moment. You could also install a virtual machine with Linux on it.
At home I am using Windows because most programs only support Windows. At work I have Windows but I have a virtual machine which is where I'm spending the majority of my time. And in my spare time when I'm programming I SSH into a headless VPS (no Desktop installed). I still develop on Windows but I deploy on linux machines.
Getting linux is worth it and if you aren't familiar with it you should get familiar with it. But you shouldn't feel limited. Linux is arguably better than Windows but Windows is a lot of times more convenient. I do all my documents, presentations, drawing graphs, checking mails on Windows.
@weak estuary
devout cedar
could someone take a look at #help-grapes that is familiar with linux
less python problem more linux problem but unsure where to ask this problem
south star
i don't think that's common now, but it's true that there are always some computers on which installing requires more fiddling than others, the alternate installation (console based, not graphical) can work better in such situation, but sometime just passing a few parameters to the kernel at boot can help as well. it's always good to just google the model of your computer and "ubuntu installation" and see if people reported problems and solutions.
i've been using linux for a long time now, and very happy with it, i do think it's useful to learn shell scripting and a bit how your system works, usually you do that more when using linux than using windows.
weak estuary
@placid hatch okay thanks for the information, but how about memory in a virtualbox? when you download eclipse to it lets say? in dualboot, you split then memory or disks, how about here? i just download more stuff in my disk? can i remove things from my windows pc from the virtual box? or do i even need to download programs which i already have on windows? just checking where the constraints are, you know?

warped nimbus
It's mostly personal preference
My suggestion would be Debian but I've heard Mint is also a good start
cold pagoda
Yes. I've programmed for years on Windows and never really had an issue with it. I do like my current OS (Ubuntu 19.10), but I'm not sure if I would say it's always "better for programming"
marble spear
I don't know, it's just what I heard on basically every youtube video. Since I just started learning the area I was confused a bit on why
So, Mint and Ubuntu
Since it's on VM I can test both I guess
frank coral
Well usually installation tutorials are made for UNIX system
warped nimbus
For certain areas of programming it may be better cause it gives you more control over the system. So it's for power users, and that can be useful when programming.
warped nimbus
In general programming is perfectly viable on any OS
frank coral
For beginners errors can be more harmful too
marble spear
You mean one of my errors can be more harmful?
That's surely something to keep in mind lol
frank coral
Well like Mark said, you have more power on your system, which means a wrong command could do more damage

Yea makes sense
Mint looks very good, I will probably start with this one. Thanks guys

if you're on OSX, and you want to find all the files whose names include .pdf, use mdfind -name .pdf
it's a zillion times faster than find
digital haven
oh, i've not heard of mdfind
fickle granite
it's a Mac-only thing
digital haven
hrm ok cool...i was just doing stuff like
find -E . -regex '^.*\.xlsx|^.*\.xls' -exec mv {} ./EXCEL_FILES \;
though there's probably a nicer way to do that π€
fickle granite
mdfind -0 -name .pdf | gxargs -0 -i mv -v {} ./EXCEL_FILES
although in that case, speed probably isn't very important
digital haven
i only want them in the current dir, and find is ( in this small case ) a bit nicer i guess because it's portable ( i think? )
should i be using xargs rather than -exec tho?
fickle granite
find . -type f -name '*.pdf' -exec echo mv -v {} ./EXCEL_FILES ';'
digital haven
why are we moving pdf files to excel dir here
fickle granite
find is only sort of portable; the version that comes with MacOS is annoyingly different from "gnu find"
digital haven
yeah i've hit a couple of bumps >:I

macOS coreutils are all pretty different from gnu coreutils
fickle granite
yep
digital haven
which sucks
fickle granite
an ancient historical split that has never been, and probably never will be, reconciled
main olive
you can install gnu coreutils via brew though
fickle granite
yep, that's what I always do, and recommend
main olive
you need to update your PATH
digital haven
ok fair - the find command i posted for xls etc seems reasonable? I'm wondering if xargs is usually recommended now
fickle granite
xargs works fine, but for simple cases you don't need it
just try your thing; either it'll work, or it won't
I doubt it'll blow anything up

it worked with warnings

I have two separate inputs, newline delimited. I want to merge them together, strip them of duplicates, then read them into a bash array.
How can I do this?
I had readarray -t names <<< "${stuff}" before
doing "${stuff}\n${more_stuff}" didn't work
Well I need to pass "${stuff}\n${more_stuff}" to sort | uniq first and then put the result into the array, but I can worry about that later.
I can't figure out how to join them first
Managed to solve it using printf

locate (slocate) is an indexed search available on linux, i suspect it's pretty similar to mdfind
fickle granite
waaay slower in my experience
I might not be making a fair comparison, but I use slocate on a cloud Linux system at work, and it's painfully slow.
Granted the disk is fairly large, but ...
laptop disk is 250G, and mdfind is pretty snappy ...
don't think the disk at work is all that much larger
I've wished there were some system that shoved all my local data up into elasticsearch, and let me search that way -- it'd really be faster

not sure if this is the right channel...does anyone know a simple way to increase Firefox's UI font size globally (as in throughout the app) on Ubuntu?
every time I install I forget how to do it
fickle granite
I'd assume it's something in the preferences
subtle pike
that's what I thought, too

There is a related post in #cybersecurity right now that linux experts can help me on maybe

hi
i recently got ubuntu
i have a couple questions
firstly, id like to figure out how to uninstall preinstalled applications such as firefox
secondly, im trying to install geforce experience but it uses a .exe file. whats the work around to this?
thirdly, can someone explain how to turn off the permission thing where you enter your password once you try to install something?
forth, how do i turn off blocking "potentially dangerous" applications from not running? im trying to get optifine on mc lol
warped nimbus
to remove a package use the command sudo apt-get remove package_name
I know for a fact Shadowplay is not supported on Linux for most graphics cards (due to a something like a proprietary API or codecs), in case that was the reason you wanted to get GeForce Experience.
There's no work around for that
But in general, it is possible to run exes with wine.
You shouldn't remove the root password prompt because that would make your system insecure.

Hello! I want to learn Unix-based development and i want to install a distro in dual-boot. What are pros and cons of Ubuntu vs Mint for statistics and python development?
long niche
Ubuntu and Mint will be pretty much the same in that regard imo. Most distros where you can install a recent python version and pip or something like anaconda will be very similar
I would say to try them both out and use whichever you like better. There's a few tools out there that will make a bootable USB drive that will allow you to run the OS without committing to installing it like Rufus and Etcher
south star
yeah, they are mostly the same thing, i'm not sure how relevant mint is these days, ubuntu is still my go to, you can always setup any linux distro to do whatever another linux distro can, anyway

I wanted to run multiple commands one after another.. because it was tedious doing this command by command
but this doesn't work
eval ssh-agent $SHELL && ssh-add ~/.ssh/gcp_jump && ssh-add ~/.ssh/gcp_sourceinstance
what am I doing wrong
it works.. when I have related commands like ssh add together.. but not when I have the eval command and ssh add together
