[main olive]

It's like tradition at this point

[opaque ginkgo]

noones hating on kali

[main olive]

Ok so?

[opaque ginkgo]

its just that running kali as your main os is stupid

[main olive]

And a bunch of people use kali

What's the difference

😂

[opaque ginkgo]

main os

kali is good at what it does

but not at general os shit

[main olive]

If you spend majority of your time coding etc

I mean come the fuck on

Idk bout you but when I use my laptop/desktop

I usually use it to get work done

[opaque ginkgo]

ok?

[main olive]

What the fuck else do you use it for

[opaque ginkgo]

is your job pentesting

and do you never do anything else

other than pentesting

[main olive]

No I don't work as a pentester but I'm usually doing ctfs or doing other shit for my education

[opaque ginkgo]

cool

[main olive]

Wtf else am I suppose to do on a computer?

[opaque ginkgo]

so use kali for the pentesting/ctf specific stuff and your main os for everything else

[main olive]

I don't really do anything else I use my computer for learning shit so it might be Linux/cyber security/networking/coding etc

Kali has most of the tools you need

So it's just convenient

[opaque ginkgo]

🤦‍♂️

[main olive]

I dual boot windows so if I wanna play some games I can do that there but other than that

Eh

[main olive]

What do you mean?

Kali isnt just used by professionals

It's also used by students

I'm not sure if you know

[opaque ginkgo]

yes i know that

because i use kali too

[main olive]

Alright so we are on the same page

You just use kali on a VM

I don't

Big deal

😂

Anyways I don't know why I'm going bat shit crazy of kali fucking hate that distro

Shit never works the way you want it

#parrot

[lusty veldt]

For real though kali on a little eee pc or something like that would be nice

[main olive]

does anyone know how to generate .mpd files on the command line

[devout fable]

What is so bad about kali as a desktop os anyways? I always see people saying not to use it, but basically every Linux distro is the same

(I’ve never touched kali before)

[main olive]

kali has a more open kernel

than other distros

because it's meant to be used as a tool for offensive testing

you can read 2020 kali devs blog post and they said they did make some changes to make the kali a little more tolerable as an every day distro

but they still said to not use it as a daily driver

[main olive]

Elaborate?

I've heard the contrary

[main olive]

https://www.kali.org/docs/introduction/should-i-use-kali-linux/

one of the reasons is that it has a lot of outdated and therefore insecure tools pre-installed even on the live version

since most of tools like that were written during Backtrack days I assume

[inland gulch]

Also see https://kali.training/topic/recompiling-the-linux-kernel/ opening section 9.2. The kernel is obese.

[main olive]

@main olive i didn't notice what message did you reply to, as to the kernel

kali uses upstream kernel patched for a wireless injection

[inland gulch]

Yeah, it's upstream is debian-testing which is possibly less stable than debian-stable

[quartz blaze]

hi i'd like to ask a question

why is it not allowing me to make a directory saying "File exists" when it actually does not

[inland gulch]

Are you making the directory with python?

[quartz blaze]

i'm making the directory using the command mkdir

[inland gulch]

Can you share a complete input/output?

Unix typically won't tell you it exists if it doesn't exist, that's kind of a big thing with respect to the filesystem

[quartz blaze]

sorry for censorship

some of the dirs and the dir im trying to create contains my name and my surname

[inland gulch]

Can't really tell because of the white blotches, try listing the directory ~/ with ls -al and see does it show what your trying to create present.

[inland gulch]

Try mkdir without the ~/

[quartz blaze]

already did

same results

[inland gulch]

Does it work if you do it with a different directory name? Like mkdir example_dir

[austere jolt]

@neon hare so

it would be best to use pyenv

[neon hare]

whats that

[austere jolt]

its a package to manage different python version

installing and uninstalling is a piece of cake

[neon hare]

is it with apt

[austere jolt]

pyenv install 3.8.6, pyenv global 3.8.6 to make it the global version

you are using kali right?

[neon hare]

yes

dpkg

is my package manager

[austere jolt]

you should google on how to install pyenv on kali

as i dont have experience with its pckg manager

[neon hare]

oh yeah its with cURL

[austere jolt]

but after you have installed it and added it to your ~/.bashrc, you can just use the command pyenv install 3.8.6, then pyenv global 3.8.6, after that you can run python main.py

ah but before running you will have to instal the pip packages

[neon hare]

okay

[austere jolt]

@neon hare https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/using-eol-python-versions/ found this article which should be helpful to you

[neon hare]

@austere jolt

after updating

[austere jolt]

wait

type python --version again

which one does it show

[austere jolt]

oof

[neon hare]

for some reason

[austere jolt]

did you do pyenv global 3.8.6

[austere jolt]

ah

then do python3 main.py

also when you install pip packages use pip3 install

[austere jolt]

nice

[neon hare]

it does nothing

[austere jolt]

hmm, is it supposed to?

what is your script?

[neon hare]

the bot doesnt come online

wdym

[austere jolt]

wait

[neon hare]

wow my dumb ass

forgot

to save

the file

[austere jolt]

lol

[neon hare]

here we go

[austere jolt]

happens

epico

[neon hare]

thanks

[austere jolt]

np, you can install any python version you want and set the default by pyenv global version

[main olive]

@neon hare can you gibe me the script

i want to make my bot online to

[neon hare]

no

[main olive]

ok

[main olive]

mp

[main olive]

search for how to make python 3 as default python in apt based system

[lilac geyser]

Open your .bashrc file nano ~/.bashrc. Type alias python=python3 on to a new line at the top of the file then save the file with ctrl+o and close the file with ctrl+x. Then, back at your command line type source ~/.bashrc. Now your alias should be permanent.

by creating permanent alias fro python=python3

[fresh saddle]

Sourcing .bashrc isn't the best idea

If you want to restart your shell, you should use exec $SHELL

This way you can truly restart everything

Hi, not sure if this is the best channel for this, but I'm trying to deploy a flask app via uwsgi and I'm having trouble figuring out how to get uwsgi to run as python 3.7. It defaults to 3.6. Has anyone dealt with that before?

All this is happening in a venv:
(venv) ➜ venv which python
/apps/venv/bin/python
(venv) ➜ venv python --version
Python 3.7.5
(venv) ➜ venv which uwsgi
/apps/venv/bin/uwsgi

but for some reason it just opens the Terminal for one second and then closes
here's all of the installer.py too

import sys,os

    apps = os.path.join(os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~')), '/.local/share/applications') 
    os.system('pyinstaller main.py --onefile')
    
    pp = open(f'{desktop}/Python Paint.desktop','w')

    pip='pip3'

[vale plinth]

When I use pip3 list in my Linux terminal, I get a different set of packages compared to when I use it in VSCode. I'm trying to use DearPyGui, which shows in my terminal but not the vscode terminal...

What's happenining here? I'm brand new to Linux and a relative noob at Python, so I'm a bit lost.

[main olive]

that doesn't work bc the reason why I had it on was to see if there was an error or something bc it wasn't opening

[main olive]

maybe it's using a different version of pip or something?

[vale plinth]

it's using a different version of everything seemingly

[supple harbor]

Is the VS Code terminal running in a venv?

[vale plinth]

@supple harbor it's not

I'm not even sure how I would do that...

It's so strange, I do whereis python3.9 and none of the locations actually have it...

[supple harbor]

VS Code plugins?

[vale plinth]

im using the python plugin from microsoft if that's what you're asking

[supple harbor]

Is your interpreter set to the one in the virtual environment? is it different than your os interpreter?

[vale plinth]

well they're set to two different intepreters yes

so I just used files to go to /usr/bin/python3.9

but in vscode when I go there to select a python intepreter it doesn't show up

[supple harbor]

does your os have 3.9?

[vale plinth]

yep

that's what I can use through my terminal

i'm using pop os if that matters

[supple harbor]

i'm on pop too. if you type 'which python3' in terminal what does it say?

[vale plinth]

/usr/bin/python3

[supple harbor]

code can't find that? ...odd

[vale plinth]

If I run which python3.9, it returns /usr/bin/python3.9

I'd be fine using Python 3.8.5 but when I pip install dearpygui through the vscode terminal, it still can't find the package...

[supple harbor]

is it installing it in a VS Code created directory inside the project directory. Sometimes it will create a hidden folder to install stuff

[vale plinth]

As far as I see, no

what I don't understand is how VSCode can't seem to find python3,9

even after I restarted linux

[supple harbor]

in the code terminal, what does 'which pip3' return?

yeah, that's odd

[vale plinth]

Returns /usr/bin/pip3

It's like I can use python 3.9 outside of vscode, but I can't use 3.8.6 outside of it

and vice-versa

VSCode states dearpygui is installed for pip3 using python 3.8.6, yet I can't do from dearpygui import core, simple=, as that gives an error

so I'm very confused here... lol

[vale plinth]

Does anyone else have any suggestions? These is starting to get frustrating as it makes zero sense...

[vale plinth]

I've managed to be able to use dearpygui, but that's using python 3.8.5, not 3.9 like I'd prefer

[inland gulch]

@Karsteski#4177 Vscode uses virtualised python by default iirc. Even if you ask it to use system python (which you shouldn't do) vs code will use the system python to create a virtual python for vscode python packages. every python interpreter has 'its own' pip, better you use python -m pip... to do pip operations. With respect to 'which python' interpreter is in use, you can postfix the interpreter major&minor version. For details on setting vs code to use one of your installed pythons see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments
But if you are looking to play with various versions of python, I'd recommend learning https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv first, the pyenv you create will be selectable in vscode.

[vale plinth]

@inland gulch thanks for the detailed response, I had no idea that's what vscode does by default

It's extremely confusing that they do actually...

I just want to use python 3.9 at all times, not create virtual environments but this seems to be a best practice so I'll look into it

thanks

still doesn't really explain why vscode can't even see my interpreter but maybe I'll learn after doing some reading

[inland gulch]

You might want to use 3.9 at all times but your operating system might have a different opinion on it 🙂 installing multiple os level python is a pain, use pyenv and you can install nearly every python and vs code will be able to see them, it's to do with symlinks, os.path and where programs will search for available interpreters. don't bother getting sidetracked by it, pick a tool (pyenv) that's fairly sturdy and get on with the real task at hand. Happy coding.

[vale plinth]

okay cool, i'll follow this route

I get that removing the default python installations breaks linux but am I safe using "sudo apt remove Python3.9"?

[inland gulch]

sudo apt purge... is the command I think, but no, I'd leave it alone if your not willing to scrap the entire o.s. and start from scratch (not saying it'd come to that, but its a legit risk in this case) just put it out of mind and leave the system level stuff alone, go 'all in' on virtualised pythons and don't look back

[vale plinth]

will do, thank you 🙂

[inland gulch]

You're welcome

[summer sonnet]

I might be asking in the wrong channel, but I'm trying to parse a JSON file - one whose format I can not control - and it has both a list and an actual key : data pair named the same thing "listpicker_5". How can I get Python to look at JUST the key : data pair and ignore the list? (I'm trying to use python3 installed by Ubuntu 18.04.)

"listpicker_5": {
  "selectedNames": [
    "John"
  ],
  "selectedScores": [
    "0.000000"
  ],
  "selectedValues": [
    "John Smith"
  ]
}

[ ... more stuff ...]

"listpicker_5": [
  "John Smith"
], ```

My simple code so far is this:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import os,json

file = os.path.abspath('/some/path') + "/sample.json"
json_data = open(file).read()
json_obj = json.loads(json_data)

roObserverName = json_obj["listpicker_5"]
print(roObserverName)```

[amber garnet]

I think it's not UNIX-related problem, maybe #algos-and-data-structs ?

Thanks @amber garnet, I posted it there.

Hello guys. i have an selenium wordpress bot that is connecting to my forum and doing some stuff. The script works perfectly on windows/mac/Linux all the day, without any issues.

But when i put it on a unix server (without desktop environment), the script works just for a few minutes

after that, i noticed it is unable to load new pages with driver.get()

also, when it stop loading, i saved the page_source to be able to see what actually the browser is loading

the html code is :

<html><title></title><body></body></html>

i have google it, find that i need to add some browser arguments like --debugging-port-9222

bot nothing helped

have anyone seen the same problem ?

You might want to learn about cron job to run a (Python/BASH) script file, especially for task number (2) and (4). But I guess, there's a better way to do this.

[proven bane]

im using github actions to automatically run the script for me i just need to figure out how to write it :)

[formal schooner]

can github actions run code on your server?

i doubt it

unless you have the github action runner ssh into your server but that's all kinds weird and sounds very insecure

you could definitely just do this in a bash script

#!/bin/bash

# -e: exit on error
# -u: error if using an unset shell parameter
# -x: echo all commands to stderr
# -o pipefail: cause pipelines to fail if the rightmost command fails
set -eux -o pipefail

# step 1

# step 2

# step 3

# step 4

[proven bane]

its an SSH setup that runs a script

# This is a basic workflow that is manually triggered

# Controls when the action will run. Workflow runs when manually triggered using the UI

Can you paste code here?

Sorry - sure. I have only included the relevant parts below

scanning = subprocess.run(args, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)

[amber garnet]

Why not f""-n {temp_subdom_scans}"?

[peak quarry]

I could but the problem here is with the -t part, for whatever reason the bash script its being passed to isn't picking up on what that param {subdom_out} actually is

[opaque ginkgo]

@peak quarry you need to separate the flag from the value

args = ["/home/brandyn/bounties/livehosts.bak", "-t", subdom_out, "-n", "temp_subdom_scans"]

assuming said program follows normal conventions

otherwise it will recieve one arg that's just "-t /home/brandyn/bounties/blah.txt"

instead of 2 args "-t" and "/home/.../blah.txt"

I was setting up my Kali Linux and when I typed my username, I clicked away to something different on another monitor only for me to come and try to put a password and it not work. I couldn't write a password so I thought I should just close kali and re-open it. Apparently, I had already made a password. Now that I need the password for something, since I didn't see what I inputted (I assume nothing since there was nothing shown but without a password it wouldn't have worked) I can't get access. I don't even know how to uninstall everything I installed previously relating to kali linux (I also installed Ubuntu in desperation) so I can do it over again. How can I fix this.

@rugged swift apologies for the ping but do you know the solution to this? ^^^

[rugged swift]

What do you mean by "I couldn't write a password"?

[main olive]

I literally couldn't input anything.

I tried numbers, letters, nothing showed up.

[rugged swift]

It'll not show up anything, it's for security reason tho.

But you can just straight away type in your password and then press [enter/return] key.

[main olive]

So you're telling me I just clicked a bunch of random letters and numbers on my keyboard and I couldn't even see it!?

yikes

Exactly

[main olive]

how am I supposed to recover that

how do I get it back

I put something random thinking it was glitchy

[rugged swift]

Ah, is that password for the root account?

Well, I don't know then.

Maybe, reinstall the Kali Linux. 😦

how do I delete it

You installed it from the Microsoft Store, aren't you? Just uninstall it by right-clicking on the start menu entry.

I got it from microsoft store but idk what you mean by start menu entry

[rugged swift]

Uh, I meant just uninstall it from the settings.

Just like other Windows programs.

alright, I got rid of ubuntu and kali linux

I'm going to try to reinstall now

@rugged swift Installing is giving me an error. I feel like I'm getting a better grip on this all so I think I'm going to let it go right now and come back later. I'm tired to the point where if I even installed it I wouldn't even bother doing anything. Your efforts were well appreciated nonetheless, couldn't have done any of this without you. Cheers.

This is not a Linux group but I hope you can help.

Hi, I have issues to repair the grub after reinstalling Windows 10 in a second disk. Now I just boot into Ubuntu 20.04. Before that I reinstalled Windows, the grub works perfectly but after that i tried some "solutions" that I found on internet and nothing worked. I hope you could help me.

Try explorer.exe wonderland.jpg if you are on WSL.

I doubt you can run open blablabla to open a file image with Windows Image Viewer from WSL. Since open is for OSX, xdg-open is for Linux, and start is for Windows. But we cannot do start.exe blablabla from WSL either if the command isn't registered in the system path.

[opaque ginkgo]

yes you can

cmd.exe /c start wonderland.jpg

start is a "shell builtin" for cmd

@stray current

@amber garnet no x11 server

[opaque ginkgo]

nautilus is gui

wsl has no gui b/c no x11

[amber garnet]

Try explorer

I didn't know that it's WSL

[main olive]

what is unix

[south arrow]

another os

[vital spire]

You need xdg-open (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdg-utils#xdg-open), and an alias possibly as well.

[summer trail]

FWIW you can add an X server if you want. I use WSL with VcXsrv.

[amber garnet]

How about reinstall? Reboot?

[rotund stirrup]

reinstalled, turns out repos were the problem

[warped nimbus]

I want to put this in my bash profile eval $(docker-machine env --shell bash default)

The problem is that it's a bit slow, so it slows down the opening of a new shell

For context, what this does is set some environment variables

This is exactly what the command returns ```bash
export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY="1"
export DOCKER_HOST="tcp://192.168.0.45:2376"
export DOCKER_CERT_PATH="C:\Users\Mark.docker\machine\machines\default"
export DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME="default"
export COMPOSE_CONVERT_WINDOWS_PATHS="true"

Run this command to configure your shell:

eval $("C:\Users\Mark\scoop\apps\docker\current\docker-machine.exe" env --shell bash default)

Is there a way to make bash run the command in the background and set the variables in the parent shell when they are ready?

This command isn't urgent so I don't need it to block the rest of the shell when I open it. It's fine if these environment variables get set 20 seconds later or whatever

I've tried the obvious & at the end of the command but this doesn't end up setting the variables in my shell.

Since I'm out of ideas, I'm going to look into how to assign a static IP to the machine so I don't have to rely on the command and can use constant code to export the variables

[summer trail]

@warped nimbus my idea would be redirecting the output to a temp file, checking if the temp file has any data in it yet each time the prompt is redrawn, and if so sourcing it and then removing the hook that's watching for it.

[warped nimbus]

Interesting. I'm not surprised that things have to be that complicated

When does the prompt get redrawn?

[summer trail]

I should have said drawn, not redrawn. Every time a new prompt is displayed, PROMPT_COMMAND runs, and you can hook into that to handle when the file has been written

[warped nimbus]

Oh I understand

That's quite clever, but also convoluted. Wouldn't have thought of it myself

I'll keep it in mind. I did away with docker-machine cause it's not really maintained actively so for now I side-stepped the issue.

[warped summit]

Any idea how could I define 2 aliases with the same name to build on top of each other?

1st alias, in a file sourced by .zshrc:zsh alias wget='wget --hsts-file="$XDG_CACHE_HOME/wget-hsts"' 2nd alias, in separate file, also sourced by .zshrc:

alias wget='wget -c'

Problem is that it will only use the second alias, and completely ignore the first one, it won't build on top of it

I need to somehow ensure, that the second alias defines itself using the previous alias. I was thinking of using something like $(wget), but that just gets me into a recursive loop. Is there some good way to reference an already existing alias with the same name while defining a new one?

I was maybe thinking of somehow getting the content of the first alias and only concatenating that with my new flag so that it will build on the previous alias, I'd probably also have to do some handling to fall back to the real command if the command wasn't already aliased before.

Any idea how could I implement something like this? Or of some better way to do it?

[valid wadi]

I have been pulling my hair for hours, anyone has an idea? Github issue didn't help

[mellow narwhal]

Try with complete path @valid wadi

[valid wadi]

I tried os.path.abspath

[radiant crater]

@valid wadi What text editor is that?

[valid wadi]

vim

[radiant crater]

you have pretty terminal colours

[mellow narwhal]

Did you literally enter the full path in the program?

[valid wadi]

dracula colorsheme

[radiant crater]

arch i assume?

[valid wadi]

artix

hardcoded full path doesn't work either

[mellow narwhal]

Gotcha, sorry to make ya do that again, seemed like the most obvious thing though

[valid wadi]

np no harm in trying

the default path still doesn't work even though I have put the files there as well

[mellow narwhal]

Is it possible your data is the issue?

[valid wadi]

I used wget to download from github

i even redownloaded it

gave it 777 premission

I just installed tesseract and tesserocr

[mellow narwhal]

Training data and teser are on the same version?

[valid wadi]

they say 4.0 ad UP

i might thy the fast one to see if its the issue

just a sec

nope

https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_fast

this data doesn't work

I hate this

this was supposed to be a quick addition to the workflow

[mellow narwhal]

Yea I've no clue, sorry. Best of luck

I wouldn't recommend you to try and change the distribution, or even use Kali as your daily driver

if you are a novice just use something like ubuntu (format kali, install ubuntu), it is the most supported and pretty easy to use distro

@jolly cairn

@mellow narwhal I have figured it out. Those files that I downloaded weren't enough. There were some configuration ones. dumb mistake....

hello friends. I have a question that is fairly basic.

How can I tell if my script is using python

I am new its just a hello world script

thats what I do not know lol I mean i just type echo hello world

I dont put a !#/bin/bash like for my bash scripts

fuck I figured I was fucking something up it uses print right?

Btw sweet pic man.

[timid grail]

UnicodeDecodeErrors. Could anyone help me???

[tame root]

@jolly cairn shit its not working >.<

im using terminal

kali linux vm

If i were to be working on a server though

wouldnt idle be a gui?

or is idle a program to which i could put my python scripts

[opaque ginkgo]

idle is kinda bad

use ipython

so much better than vanilla repl

or for ides

use vscode or pycharm

[tame root]

@jolly cairn i simply type python?

[main olive]

Hello, I bought vps some time ago and came up with a problem.

While my bot is working it saves pictures and also there's a db.
How do I automate my routine when I have to do a bunch of things to move db and pics in direction, just cloned from github with new update?

How do people usually manage with their dbs when making new update?

[tame root]

I am having issues executing python scripts

is anyone available to assist? any help would be greatly appreciated

never mind. I was using the wrong command. I dont understand though

I was trying to run the script like i normall run my bash scripts. ./scriptname

however when i typed python scriptname it ran

[hardy grail]

you're probably missing the execute permission on the script file

if you have that, you just need the file path to run the script

[mellow narwhal]

@tame root You have a shebang?

With correct perms and shebang it should work.

[nova hazel]

hey uh, I have 2 python scripts. I want to run them hourly. I found out I can do this by cron. so if I edit /etc/crontab ar 01:44 pm, then when will the scripts run?

also, will @hourly python3 <myscript> work?

sorry I am new to cron

[lavish heart]

i'm trying to pipe the output of a script, like an equation 1+1 then eval it and pipe it back as an output

any ideas?

[lavish heart]

@hourly will work fine, unless you're on some obscure distro

[nova hazel]

ubuntu

[lavish heart]

that's cool

[tame root]

I do not have a shebang

I have to use the command python and the name of my script

[opaque ginkgo]

@tame root well you need one

#!/usr/bin/env python3

[tame root]

@opaque ginkgo I will try this right now. Thank you for the quick response friend 😄

and that was the trick

[tame root]

another quick question though semi unrelated to python

I am learning python and bash

is there something better than bash

[mellow narwhal]

ZSH, Fish

ZSH is the best shell in my opinion, look into oh my zsh @tame root

If you're scripting across machines though you usually just want to use SH or Bash, though. ZSH's main use is as an actual interactive shell rather than a scripting tool

[tame root]

@mellow narwhal hmmm i dont know the difference between an interactive shell and scripting

do not understand what you mean there

[mellow narwhal]

The difference is what's interacting with the shell. If the machine is interacting with the shell through a script, that's scripting. If you're the one interacting with the shell, that's something else

ZSH is great because it makes your interactions with the shell streamlined and overall a better experience through stuff like autocompletion and better coloring

A script isn't gonna appreciate any of that at all, so it's somewhat useless, even more so when you consider that ZSH doesn't come built in on most distros where bash does.

ZSH does have better loops and somewhat better logic IIRC but really it doesn't make much sense to script in it.

@tame root

[tame root]

good info. I will look into it

thank you

[mellow narwhal]

Sure thing. Get yourself ZSH, oh-my-zsh, and grab a nice theme + the plugin zsh-autosuggestions

That will save you a massive amount of time when working with your shell

[opaque ginkgo]

honestly you shouldn't be writing that many shell scripts in the first place

better to use a higher level language like python

because shell is a pretty bad language

[mellow narwhal]

There's a time and place for them, and depending on what you're working with it can make sense to write a lot of them

Personally if I have more than one if statement or loop in a program I usually just switch to python, but sometimes that's not an option

[opaque ginkgo]

shell is fine for short scripts

the longest shell script in my bin is 18 lines

otherwise i just write in py

almost every linux distro already has python installed anyways

or it is easily installed by the package manager

[tame root]

im getting into cyber security i am guessing i will be automating tasks with python over bash or shell correct?

you guys are the shit btw

much love to my dawgs

[mellow narwhal]

You will most likely have to interact with the shell a lot, but yea, python for automating.

[neon cloak]

is shell code = asm?

[warped nimbus]

No.

[twilit bolt]

It's commonly written as assembly code, translated into machine code, but it depends on what vulnerability you're trying to exploit.

[opaque ginkgo]

and theres a lot more to asm than just writing shellcode

[humble onyx]

@neon cloak http://shell-storm.org/shellcode/ you may want to check out this site to get an idea of how it looks like

debians also a good choice, and kalis based off of debian so you can just hand pick the tools you want when you want

[tender lark]

So on Ubuntu, I am trying to set up a time frame in Crontab for how frequent it should clear my CPU cache.

Do you guys have a rule of thumb for clearing out cache, or does it vary depending on the workload?

[summer trail]

Your CPU cache? That's not something you should ever clear. There's no good reason you ever would. What are you trying to accomplish?

Unless you mean something other than your L1 and L2 cache

[formal schooner]

i dont think thats something you can even access

does x86 even let you do that at the assembly level?

[tender lark]

I'm referring to PageCache

@summer trail

Sorry for the confusion.

[summer trail]

Why do you want to clear the page cache?

[tender lark]

So the memory dosen't get clogged up

or cause a memory leak

[summer trail]

Why would you rather the memory be sitting unused rather than doing something useful?

[tender lark]

what if the cache is using something that is not necessary

[summer trail]

Pages will be dropped from the page cache as needed to make room for other stuff

[tender lark]

Oh

Sorry about that. I honestly thought that cache had to have some sort of maintenance

[summer trail]

There's some tunables you can adjust to control which types of memory are reclaimed first when there's memory pressure, but to be hand wavy about it, you want most of your memory to be in use at all times. It's doing something useful that way, and it'll be freed if needed to make room for other stuff.

[tender lark]

Alright

[summer trail]

https://chrisdown.name/2018/01/02/in-defence-of-swap.html will teach you a lot on this topic.

[tender lark]

On a sidenote, Is there ways to prevent Memory leaks with Ram on Linux?

I know deleting old software updates help, but are there other things I should know about

[summer trail]

A memory leak is when a process allocates memory and forgets to free it. The memory is reclaimed when the process dies.

[tender lark]

I remember 2 months ago I had a big memory leak on my windows 10 os(it used 16 gbs of ram on start) and many of the processes that were hogging up the memory were from system processes from the os itself

I didn't want to tinker with those processes so I decided to do a full restart with windows

it lucky worked but it also caused some of my applications to be deleted

[summer trail]

A memory leak is a bug in a particular program, where it loses track of memory it allocated without ever freeing it. It's possible for system processes to have such a bug introduced, but if they do there's nothing you can do about it other than wait for an update to fix the bug, roll back to an older version without the bug, or live with the bug by restarting the process periodically

[tender lark]

So it might have been caused by a windows update?

[summer trail]

If it's a new bug in a Windows system program, it could only be introduced by a Windows update. That's the only thing that ever updates Windows system programs.

[tender lark]

Yikes

Microsoft really be forcing buggy updates

I assume Linux dosen't have the same problem?

since it's open sourced and dosen't force people to update

[summer trail]

No one tries to introduce bugs. Updating less frequently isn't a good idea, that's how you leave yourself vulnerable to known security vulnerabilities.

[tender lark]

Yeah I know

I'm just saying that in a general sense

[nimble quarry]

Can someone help me use linux on windows by using virtualbox or anything like it?

[amber garnet]

WSL is not enough?

[main olive]

better install linux

and use both os win and linux using boot grub loader

simple dual boot

it has more advantage

[tight mural]

@gray fulcrum Just start with WSL and if you find it lacking, consider HyperV or virtualbox. If you rely on Windows apps, dual-boot is a pain.

docker and vagrant may also suit your needs.

[main olive]

check your sources.list

I stand corrected, this isn't possible

[gray fulcrum]

Does dual boot work fine? I use windows mostly for all my other work. But I want to get used to using linux for my projects

[main olive]

dual boots work fine

Okay cool

[delicate tendon]

I know this is a more Python related server, but I have a doubt if anyone could help.
I want to be able to use SSH to transfer files from and to a filesystem image(EXT4). I read that to do so I must copy the openssh package builded while cross compiling with buildroot, so I did the following:

sudo umount output/images/rootfs.ext4 ../mnt_temp
cp output/build/buildroot-config/br2/package/openssh ../mnt_temp
sudo umount ../mnt_temp

I used, as seen, buildroot to cross compile the kernel, and the output/... directories are the ones buildroot generated inside a directory I've created. My goal is to test these functionalities on QEMU. But now, how can I check if SSH is working with local files? (SSH already works with remote servers)
How can I test it?

Thanks in advance!

[delicate tendon]

If someone could help, I would appreciate it 🙏

[humble onyx]

@delicate tendon I probably misunderstood but there is a tool "scp" to transfer files through ssh

[delicate tendon]

Basically what I wanted was to transfer files through SSH from the QEMU to my local computer

@humble onyx

[humble onyx]

you need at least one way communication. if you can talk to the qemu's ssh I don't understand what is stopping you from doing that

can you connect to ssh server on qemu

if yes then use scp

@delicate tendon

[delicate tendon]

Yes I can use ssh to a remote server let's say gmail.com on QEMU. What you saying is that, given this, I can scp to my local machine?

[humble onyx]

just read the man page I am pretty sure it'll solve your problem

[delicate tendon]

Right, I appreciate, sorry for the poor explanation a few answers ago tho

[humble onyx]

"I want to be able to use SSH to transfer files from and to a filesystem image(EXT4)" this part got me confused but your question is how can I transfer files from/to a virtual machine through ssh

as long as you have network adaptors set up correctly

you are fine

[delicate tendon]

Just one more question, now that you're here, if you don't mind @humble onyx
When I open my QEMU, I can't see my usb devices under /dev. I have to pass it to QEMU, in order to see it, right?

[humble onyx]

I never used qemu, I use virtual box.

you need to refer to qemus manual for that

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU

or more specifically https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU#USB_redirection_with_SPICE

[delicate tendon]

Thanks again!

So, Im posting this here because this is bash, but what I want is for something like this to work in Windows....

EXECUTEONCE=".executeonce"

  echo "Attempting to install virtualenv"
  python3 -m pip install virtualenv && echo "virtualenv installed"

  if [ ! -d 'venv' ]; then
    python3 -m virtualenv venv && echo "Initialized a virtual environment"
  fi
  source venv/bin/activate && echo "Sourced into venv"

  if [ -f 'requirements.txt' ]; then
    python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
  else
    echo "Cannot find requirements.txt"
    return 1
  fi
  echo "Attempting to execute 'sudo chmod u+x ./main.py' -- need password..."
  sudo chmod u+x ./main.py || return 1
  rm $EXECUTEONCE  # remove to skip this on next execute
  echo "Setup complete."

else

  # if already setup just execute
  ./main.py || {
    touch "$EXECUTEONCE";  # on error, reset for next execute;
    echo "$EXECUTEONCE" reinitialized;
    exit 1
  }
fi

Can anyone help?
If something is wrong with the bash lmk.

But yeah, I dont really use Windows and I need something like this. I know the main differences are

1. python not python3
2. ./Scripts/activate not ./bin/activate

Any others? How would you shell script this in windows?

Feel free to @ me, i might be working

[sonic crypt]

Can anyone look at #help-dumpling it has to do with starting a script on boot on my RPI

[amber garnet]

Do you have bash, PS or what on this Windows?

[opaque ginkgo]

wsl or cygwin

[warped nimbus]

On Windows you'll likely write this in PowerShell. Stay away from cmd. However, given the machine already has Python, writing this script in Python is also an option. In fact, it may be a better option if you're already familiar with Python. The Python code would just be more verbose when dealing with subprocesses. If you need help understanding some of the shell syntax so you can translate it, feel free to ask.

venvs have an activeate_this.py script which can be used to activate a venv from within Python.

It's an analogue to the activate shell script.

That only exists if using virtualenv. It also has a Python API you could use to create the venv.

[finite crater]

this is exactly what I ended up doing. I used very simple bat files to just call python files. Thanks.

I dont know PS or cmd at all. I use Windows, but not really for tinkering very often. I mainly just wanted to give someone a script and have them be able to use it, not knowing how to set it up themselves.

Its really the only time ive ever written such a script for a Windows user so i just never thought about it before..

I started this

def install(install_check: Path):
    if not install_check.exists():
        return
    else:
        if os.name == 'nt':
            try:
                subprocess.run([sys.executable, '-m', 'pip', 'install', 'virtualenv'], check=True)
                subprocess.run([r'.\venv\Scripts\activate.bat'], check=True)
                subprocess.run([sys.executable, '-m', 'pip', 'install', '-r', 'requirements.txt'], check=True)
            except FileNotFoundError as e:
                print(e)
        else:
            subprocess.run(['bash', 'install_linux.sh'], check=True)

        install_check.unlink()

But then I decided to scrap that for some reason I cant remember and just did this

# install_win.bat
python.exe -m pip install virtualenv
python.exe -m virtualenv venv
%~dp0\venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install -r requirements.txt
%~dp0\venv\Scripts\python.exe script.py
pause

Not all fancy and robust but for the use case, it allows a user to run the code and dispose of it.

Its possible that fancy and robust bash isnt the best idea anyway. When I try to do it, its always a bigger time sink than I think it will be and then it has problems I didnt consider.

Keeping it simple with bash seems to be best

Im better at it than i used to be at least

[main olive]

Which is better, freebsd or linux

Also, What is main diffrence between debian and Arch

[finite crater]

Never used bsd, but the answer is probably neither is better.
The main difference is debian is old and mostly stays the same. Its source repositories are often outdated a bit but stable. It often takes work building many things from source to get started with it..

Arch is the same way in being minimalistic, but rather than have sometimes outdated but stable software with limited access to update it without doing it yourself, Arch gives you everything you need to be on the cutting edge of the newest versions and install them from many sources. This means often the code you are using is in development and liable to break

Look into "rolling release software ditrubution" vs traditional version release. That is arch vs debian..

Arch also requires more familiarity with following documentation to get started. I do not recommend either as a first distro.

[amber garnet]

In my opinion you should start with Ubuntu rather than Debian. I never used Arch but spent some time with Fedora.

[scarlet pagoda]

@main olive use arch if u want no bloat else use debian with alot of bloat

my os artix with runit + i3wm + tmux takes only 120MB ram initially

[opaque ginkgo]

@finite crater debian has a rolling release too

debian testing

[fresh saddle]

Comparing a testing release to a rolling release is pretty unfair

[main olive]

you can use debian sid

[sharp perch]

I have a bunch of .py on debian, and I now wish I had it in PyCharm (as I do for other projects on Windows.) Where I type is Windows. Up to now I just access the linux hosts via SSH. Would I be better off switching to remote X11 to get PyCharm running on Linux, or can I somehow set up a WIndows PyCharm project to edit code on the Linux host?

And is there something else like Jupyter or iPython that I should be looking at?

[main olive]

can you not get pycharm running nativley on debian?

[sharp perch]

Oh hi. Sorry, I just started using discord and I'm floundering a bit

[main olive]

it's alright

[sharp perch]

yes, we have X11 on our debian systems. I'm nmore wondering what will be more practical for me. I want to work on code that can run from the linux command line, but take advantage of PyCharm's IDE features. I've got PyCharm all set up on Windows already

[main olive]

oh ok that makes sense

[sharp perch]

I think i should start putting my linux code into a venv

[main olive]

defenitly

pip makes a mess

[sharp perch]

it wouldn't be bad to have it run from windows, but the other people in my team prefer linux (i do both about equally easily)

[main olive]

yeah

[sharp perch]

I am less than 3 years from retirement and I feel responsible to leave behind something my colleagues can make sense of

[main olive]

so you want to move windows code over to linux? then have ssh to run that code on linux

[sharp perch]

in fact half the code is written in perl 8-)

[main olive]

oh

[sharp perch]

I'm kind of dreaming of finding a workable perl-to-python translator

i rely heavily on python dictionaries, which in perl were called associative arrays

really I could just start rewriting all the perl in python from scratch, clean it up and make it more object based

[main olive]

it seems the transition between those languages wouldn't be too bad

[sharp perch]

i remember some P.R. for the perl language that said "the three virtues of perl programmers are laziness, impatience and hubris" 8-)

[main olive]

https://wiki.python.org/moin/PerlPhrasebook

[main olive]

i'm too young for perl, but kinda want to mess around with it in the future

[sharp perch]

it had a pretty good module ecosystem when I was using it. Python packages seem to be the Borg

I don't see ever going back. I starting migrating to python to keep current and compatible

[main olive]

yeah

[sharp perch]

I do tech support for UofT's engineering department, and a lot of our users started asking for python

also the climate modellers seemed really into it

I am currently living off the benefits of one python package "openpyxl" which can read and write .XLSX files

it can do virtually everything - column widths, fonts ...

[main olive]

sounds useful

[sharp perch]

someone asked for a volunteer to write something in Excel macros, and I said sure, as long as I can substitute python

gathering input in XLSX from many users, merging into one consolidated report. It's working smoothly. THe first two months were a hellscape of "oh, this user inserted an extra row into the Excel tempate so all the input fields are off by one" and "oh, this user entered a Dingbats checkmark instead of the plain letter X we asked for"

and the user who thought they would use cell background colour to indicate which cells were yes, instead of typing an X like the sample template asked for

but my code included plenty of error checking so I caught all of these

so anyway...

what kind of stuff do you do in python?

[main olive]

i mostly just write discord bots and other small stuff

Hey guys pls answer :
Can we ' copy to clipboard ' using the linux terminal or using the subprocess module ?

[opaque ginkgo]

xclip or xsel for subprocess

there's probably a python library that lets you avoid a subprocess and interact with x11 directly

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7606062/is-there-a-way-to-directly-send-a-python-output-to-clipboard

pyperclip is a 3rd party lib for this

which is also cross-platform

Which simplest solution unix utility can convert multiple lines delimited like this:

C1 23 15 64-C2 14 62 46

into columns delimited by the -, like this:

hello

[mellow narwhal]

Does it have to be a command line utility?

Sed can no doubt do it but I couldn't think of the command off of the top of my head

[main olive]

any vim enthusiasts in there? I want to replace the double gg to go to a certain line with just a singular g, and yes i am aware of the upper case one

[summer trail]

Seems unwise. There are lots of normal mode commands that start with g that you won't be able to use anymore.

you'll have trouble using any of these: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/vimindex.html#g

I use g# and g* and gv and gq every day. And gu and gU pretty regularly, and gf and gF a bit less regularly.

[vapid quarry]

I would think there's some sort of trck you can do, like a Paste command but backwards, or a columnate

[shy fractal]

This isn't great but it's a Python one-liner:

$ echo 'C1 23 15 64-C2 14 62 46' | python -c 'import sys; import numpy; print(numpy.rot90([x.split(" ") for x in [x.rstrip("\n").split("-") for x in sys.stdin][0]])[::-1])'
[['C1' 'C2']
 ['23' '14']
 ['15' '62']
 ['64' '46']]

[shy fractal]

Okay, after a bit of code golfing, I have this:

echo 'C1 23 15 64-C2 14 62 46' | python -c 'import sys, numpy; print("\n".join([" ".join(x) for x in numpy.rot90([x.split(" ") for x in [x.rstrip("\n").split("-") for x in sys.stdin][0]])[::-1].tolist()]))'
C1 C2
23 14
15 62
64 46

[vapid quarry]

That is indeed More complicated than I expected

What do you see if you do this? py import enum print(enum) That should print something like: <module 'enum' from '/usr/lib64/python3.8/enum.py'> but I'm betting for you it prints a different enum.py in a different directory.

the enum that comes as part of the Python standard library with Python 3.8 definitely does have IntEnum.

hey yall

can someone remind me wtf you use to cut some data out to make it easier to read

wtf was the command to print it out

it was grep

just remembered

thanks anyways

[mellow narwhal]

Which is it, and what is happening?

[median crown]

im using a google cloud instance to try an install a script from pip, installed the script with 'python3 -m pip install delete-tweets' and it successfully installed, but when i try to execute 'delete-tweets' in the console I get -bash: delete-tweets: command not found. I'm assuming this has something to do with $PATH and I'm not very well versed in the directories that may affect this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

python3 -m pip show delete-tweets
shows that the package is installed in Location: /home/machinez/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages

[summer trail]

You can run it with ~/.local/bin/delete-tweets

And, when you pip install something that creates a script, if the bin directory it installs into isn't on your $PATH then pip will print a warning telling you how to add that directory to your $PATH

[median crown]

Ha now that warning makes sense. Cheers I appreciate it. I always seem to run into things like this when I'm trying to install things from pip or just do unix things in general.

Since this is a huge blindspot I continue to have, and the learning courses for python and things I've taken have only asked me to copy and paste commands to get things done without explaining what's actually going on here, what resources can I take advantage of to better familiarize myself with all things unix and package management for python/npm/etc ?

[humble onyx]

@median crown I think you can run pip installed modules with python3 -m <module>

[main olive]

guess that's too general

but whenever you c/p some command you dont know, try to look up what it does

and understand what's behind

and whenever you got a specific question, come back here (or somewhere else) and ask it

What does XY do?

[fresh plinth]

does anyone know how to use cron to execute a scrypt when user logs in?

[opaque ginkgo]

@fresh plinth all users, or a certain one?

probably just stick it in /etc/profile or ~/.profile, you dont need cron

[fresh plinth]

i m supposed to do it with cron and w/o root privs

[opaque ginkgo]

can you even do that with cron

[fresh plinth]

i know, right?

that's why i m asking here

[amber garnet]

I am not sure that crontab has such kind of features

[opaque ginkgo]

why do you have to use cron

That sounds like a job for the system daemon, systemd most of the time

[solemn snow]

Hey guys I can't access ipython through the terminal, how can I make it accessible?
Please help. I really appreciate it.

[solemn snow]

Hey so when I try to install a library I get this warning

but the location that warning said is in path, but why do I still get this warning?

When I do vim .zshrc this is what I get.

[summer trail]

a) you probably want ```sh
export PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin:$PATH"

b) Perhaps you haven't started a new shell since adding that line? Is `zsh` your shell?

[solemn snow]

ye it was the second one

thankyou though

[summer trail]

you should probably make the first change, too, though. That controls the order that things are searched in - does it look in that directory after (the way you have it) or before (the way I'm proposing) all the other directories it searches.

[solemn snow]

ooh

hmmm

this is what it currently looks like

[summer trail]

echo $PATH will show the directories that will be searched, in the order that they'll be searched. Earlier directories takes precedence over later ones.

right. So it searches those two directories last.

[solemn snow]

i see

but does the order matter?

[summer trail]

if a command is available in multiple directories, yes

[solemn snow]

what do you mean by that

[summer trail]

if there's multiple versions of a program on your computer, the order determines which of those will get used.

[solemn snow]

ooh

[summer trail]

generally, you'd want the things you've specifically installed to take precedence over any other versions that might have already been installed.

[solemn snow]

right

Ok stuck again

So I am trying to make it so that when I do code something it will open up vsc with that file open.
I used to be able to do this in windows but rn I can't
When i do vim .zshrc
This is what I get

export PATH=$PATH:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/
export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/13/bin/
export=$PATH:/Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/

But when I repoen the terminal and do code it says command not found.
Also when I do echo $PATH
this is what I get

inheritance@Inheritances-MBP ~ % echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/13/bin/

[summer trail]

that last line in your .zshrc is wrong, right? Shouldn't that be:

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/

[solemn snow]

ye

also not double equal to

but thankyou

[summer trail]

right

also, like I said: it should almost certainly be PATH=/new/thing:$PATH instead of PATH=$PATH:/new/thing

[solemn snow]

Finally got everything added to path

gotcha

[main olive]

@boreal pebble anyway, use a linux vm if some modules aren't supported on windows

[tender plinth]

Hello , is there a way to disable kernel NX bit (not the gcc one)?

[main olive]

Does anyone know linux well

i need help

[amber garnet]

What do you need?

I am not master of Linux but all depends on your question

[main olive]

@amber garnet Yes my question is that can we use windows drivers on Linux (Ubuntu).

[amber garnet]

I guess that is not possible

[main olive]

see i am getting very confused now

some people say it will work

some people say it will not work

😫

[amber garnet]

In my opinion it cannot work since Linux drivers need to work next to Linux kernel - Windows doesn't have Linux kernel, has he?

[main olive]

because i am asking it because i am thinking to switch windows to Linux.

[amber garnet]

You can use WSL on Windows

[main olive]

what is that

[amber garnet]

https://aka.ms/wsl - Linux kernel working as Windows application

[main olive]

this thing i know but

it's not very well

i have also installed it

[amber garnet]

So you can install Linux in some VM like VirtualBox and here you are

[main olive]

but drivers not working

[reef radish]

my question is that can we use windows drivers on Linux (Ubuntu)
i've been using linux for quite some time and as far as i know, not necessarily. ubuntu already comes with the necessary drivers for the system but in the case of proprietary drivers you need to add them by going to System Settings > Additional Drivers.

also, before you use linux, use a virtual machine and just get used to the system a bit.

[ocean sentinel]

Guys I'm having a problem with ubuntu when creating a file i doesn't get refreshed on the file explorer in windows unless I press f5

And since I'm a bit new to this I still need to see what I do whether I move, delete, create a file/folder

do you know why this would happen?

[reef radish]

I'm having a problem with ubuntu when creating a file i doesn't get refreshed on the file explorer in windows unless I press f5
im a tad confused. you stated that you need help with ubuntu but you're also mentioning windows, could you elaborate?

[reef radish]

if i'm understanding this correctly you can do, sysctl -w kernel.randomize_va_space=0 or just edit the file /etc/systctl.conf like this: kernel.randomize_va_space = 0

[tender plinth]

isnt that for disabling system wide kaslr

I was looking for disabling NX bit in kernel allocated pages

[tender plinth]

Anyways , does someone know how to disable kernel stack canary?

[low tiger]

so many chats lol

[granite aspen]

I'm considering wiping my windows laptop and installing linux on it to squeeze a few more months of use out of it. It's becoming almost unusable.

[humble onyx]

hello I am trying to block client-to-client vpn traffic with ufw but it doesn't seem to apply. I ran " ufw route deny from 10.8.0.0/24 to 10.8.0.0/24" am I doing it wrong?
I know how to do it with iptables but it resets after reboot.

[dawn bloom]

That’s a fantastic idea. Linux is perfect for reviving old computers

[dawn bloom]

There should be an iptables save command correct?

[granite aspen]

Is this something you have experience doing? Is there a resource you recommend other than a cursory google search?

[dawn bloom]

Yes

First of all have you ever used linux ever?

If not I reccomend Linux mint

[humble onyx]

yeah go with linux mint more user friendly imo

and thank you @dawn bloom

[dawn bloom]

No problem

Been using Linux my whole computer life, only ever used windows at school

[dawn bloom]

A great resource would be
https://linuxmint.com/documentation.php

[granite aspen]

Mint is what I use on my work computer. I only keep windows on my personal computer for games but at this point I don't get good gaming performance out of this computer anyway.

[dawn bloom]

Well then I would recommend that you stick with mint for now, and if you ever want to get into learning Linux really deep use virtualbox to test out different distros.

[granite aspen]

Will do!

[humble onyx]

btw I just rebooted my server and I have to manually restore the saved rules this isn't what I was expecting lol

[granite aspen]

@dawn bloom I have made virtual machines with mint in the past--i remember one flavor was lighter weight than the others. I think cinnamon is the heavier one?

A related question: I actually wanted to dual boot this machine, but I can't because I would first have to defragment it and that would take days. I'm not sure why I still needed to defragment it because I had just finished a factory reset. Will wiping windows and installing linux have the side effect of making any data previously on the hard drive completely gone?

[dawn bloom]

Yes

[fresh saddle]

Dew it

[dawn bloom]

When you install Linux mint I think it removes all data

[granite aspen]

I'm not sure why I still had to defragment after the windows reinstall because I lost all the data anyway

[fresh saddle]

Well, it depends on how you install it

How many disks do you have, what partitions do you have, and what you will have

[granite aspen]

I'm good to just say goodbye to windows on this machine. I'll buy another when I'm ready to game again

[fresh saddle]

I am guessing that it is an NTFS partition?

[granite aspen]

No idea.

[fresh saddle]

Hmm it is the default, so if you haven't played around with it, it probably is NTFS

In this case you will have to move to an ext3 or 4

Do you have a second disk in the meantime?

(if you use less than half of the disk, that could work too)

[granite aspen]

@fresh saddle I'm confused, are these questions aimed to help me dual boot?

[fresh saddle]

Oh

Dual-boot

Nevermind me then

[granite aspen]

I do not want to dual boot

But I don't know any of the terminology here so I don't know why you mentioned a "second disk" earlier

[pastel perch]

Hello, is there a significant difference between writing code on windows, vs writing it on unix? or is the difference only for compiling and packaging?

[vocal mist]

I tried to download ubuntu at my xps 9500 I followed the steps when I clicked install linux it said you have to dissable the intel rapid technolohy a.I replace rapid with AHCI but it broke my whole system when I return to default there was no problem.ahh .I love linus but I hate to deal with system problems I remeber last year when I was using my hp elitebook 8670w I both linux and windows interesting thing is when I updated my windows it broked all my system again there was only a command line and a whole black screen my.Now I am runing linux in virtual box I love it is fast and very responsive

[warped nimbus]

You can generally re-create the same feel of one on the other. Default experiences depend on the distro used but unix tends to lean more towards command-line tools.

It's easier to install tools and libraries on linux since distros come with package managers. On Windows you need to install a package manager separately, but then the experience feels pretty much the same.

[granite aspen]

You also have to install build tools (see !build) on Windows for some Python libraries, which can be off-putting.

[pastel perch]

ah i see thank you

[eager spire]

hey o- o i'm relatively new to linux can someone tell me if i did sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade and closed the terminal by mistake are the updates still running in the background?

or did i mess shit up

[twilit bolt]

no they're not running in the background

you'd have the run the command detached from your terminal if you wanted it to continue detached.

[eager spire]

oh so i run the command again then? o- o or do you think something might've been broken by updating half of it

[twilit bolt]

No you're probably fine.

But you're right there could potentially be problems.

cuz if i wanna reinstall it i'd rather do it rn than when i have projects that i'm developing on it

[twilit bolt]

I'm not too sure, I probably wouldn't.

But, if you don't mind, then you can if you want to be sure you're okay.

[eager spire]

i guess... anyways thanks

[paper ginkgo]

Looks fine to me

[eager spire]

nah i just had multiple terminals running and closed the one with the command running by mistake xD so i thought it might do shit but it didn't

[paper ginkgo]

If you want to run commands you can append &, like so: sudo apt update & && sudo apt upgrade -y &

You can also run the commands like you normally would and press Ctrl+Z

[eager spire]

😮 thanks for the tip i have used linux in the past (like 5 years ago) just getting back into it o- o

[paper ginkgo]

I like to automate apt with cron

Have it run automatically in the background every day at xx:xx pm

[eager spire]

nice 😮 though i'm running a virtual box so it might not be on at a fixed time everyday for me

[paper ginkgo]

Fair enough

[fresh plinth]

Is there a way to ignore eof in scrypts?

[paper ginkgo]

Show us the code @fresh plinth

[fresh plinth]

#!/bin/bash
passwd

[paper ginkgo]

There's no EOF in passwd

[fresh plinth]

you can skip changing password with ctrl D

[paper ginkgo]

What are you trying to do?

[fresh plinth]

is a user launches this script i want them not to be able to just exit

[paper ginkgo]

There are better ways to do that

[fresh plinth]

i don't really know

i'm new to this stuff

[paper ginkgo]

What happens when you exit a script with Ctrl+C or whatever is signals

You can disable these signals or even redirect them to other commands

I haven't worked with Bash signals in a long time, but in C you can:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <unistd.h>

void handler(int sig)
{
    if (SIGTERM == sig) {
        do_something();
    }

    return 0;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    /* Ignore SIGHUP */
    signal(SIGHUP, SIG_IGN);

    /* Remap SIGTERM */
    signal(SIGTERM, handler);

    return 0;
}

[opaque ginkgo]

use the trap command: https://mywiki.wooledge.org/SignalTrap

[granite aspen]

I put linux mint 20 on my computer yesterday and everything was fine, but the resolution unexpectedly changed and now it's too small to do anything and no other resolution options exist

It also won't respond to my mouse even though it did yesterday

I think auto updating the drivers must have ruined it

[fresh saddle]

That’s what you get for using Mint :P

Maybe you could stop the grub boot and swtich to a tty to try and fix it?

[granite aspen]

I'm just going to start over 😅

[fresh saddle]

That works too haha

[granite aspen]

I already had everything I needed installed

This is so sad.

[fresh saddle]

You should revert the driver update then

[granite aspen]

Idk how to do that

And I don't know how to tell if an instruction online is correct for my problem case

[fresh saddle]

Press esc during the grub boot, ctrl + F1 to switch to the tty1, remove the old drivers, reboot, grab a beer, celebrate

[granite aspen]

Idk what grub boot and tty1 are

[fresh saddle]

GRUB is your bootloader, it is the first part of the boot sequence when you see text flying around

the tty1 is the first actual terminal (not an emulator this time) of your installation, you cannot access it once you switched to a graphical interface, that’s why you need to cancel the boot sequence

(tty2 is also a thing)

[granite aspen]

I tried hitting escape when you said and now there's just a flashing line in the corner

I'm just going to redo it. I'd rather spend an hour doing something that I know will work rather than gamble on ten five-minute fixes and risk having nothing to show for it at the end.

[fresh saddle]

Try to press F10, maybe?

[granite aspen]

I already started

[fresh saddle]

Fair

[granite aspen]

@fresh saddle thanks anyway 😅

Do not uninstall standard python on Ubuntu

the OS relies on it. It will probably break things, like the terminal

just install 3.9 in your system and use it, where you need it

Hi, everybody. I'm trying to use a package installed by pip. When I imported it and run the script by terminal works well but when I try to import it into jupyter lab. Any suggestion?

I'm working on a virtual env

Into jupyter lab, shows that it is not installed*

[amber garnet]

How about it? https://jakevdp.github.io/blog/2017/12/05/installing-python-packages-from-jupyter/#How-to-use-Pip-from-the-Jupyter-Notebook

[covert orchid]

I tried it too

The way a solve it was opening jupyter from anaconda-navigator instead of from terminal

[wet sapphire]

use docker for this, do not install different / multiple versions of python on your system directly

[amber garnet]

Why?

[wet sapphire]

why, what?

[opaque ginkgo]

"uninstall"

@dark bear whats your ubuntu version

[humble onyx]

hi, I want to run a privileged program from apache. Should I simply set SUID on the program? or should implement some other mechanism?

[amber garnet]

Why I shouldn't install different versions of Python on my system?

is there a cross-platform py3 alternative to c#'s Environment.GetFolderPath(SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)?

returning:
on windows: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\ ( %appdata% )
on linux /home/user/.config/ ( ~/.config )
on mac whatever i dont use mac cuz its trash

[fresh saddle]

"C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\" if os.platform == "else" "/home/user/.config/"

[main olive]

no plz i really dont want using if os.name == "sth" or if "sth" in os.name...

is this really the only way?

i can use a pip module too

[fresh saddle]

I mean, it will do that under the hood
