Hello everyone!
I am exploring bash scripting currently and trying to install and configure MySQL using a bash script either locally in my mac or a linux system on AWS EC2 instance, but cannot figure out how to do it. Can anyone help me how to do this with a bash script?
Thank you!
limber sandal
You should get an handle to the virtual console and clear it instead
not sure if handles and low-level stuff is the correct start place for beginners. But if he or she wants to do it properly, getting handle is the correct way.
On linux that would be the termios lib or ctypes.windll.kernel32 on Windows to get the console handle with GetConsoleWindow()

on linux cant you just print an ansi escape

Depends on the terminal. Almost always, nowadays, but printing a hardcoded escape is not the right way to do it if you care about portability.

good evening, I'm trying to reimplement UNIX tree command in python.
So for e.g I have a function which returns a list with all dirs/subdirs of path specified:
tests/data
tests/data/.hidden
tests/data/.hidden/files.txt
tests/data/file1.txt
tests/data/file2.txt
tests/data/folder-1
tests/data/folder-1/first.php
tests/data/folder-1/second.php
tests/data/folder-2
tests/data/folder-2/testing.php
tests/data/folder-3
tests/data/folder-3/.gitkeep
Expected output:
tests
|--------data
|------ folder1
|------ fodler2
|------ folder3
How can I make a pretty output of this with a tree-alike structure? Is there a package/library that can help me ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The images to be loaded (and every other operations you do) are requests and if these requests fail to be fulfilled, images fail to load and it throws error code 500 (Internal Server Error)

But I'm pretty sure installing Linux wiped everything that was on the hard drive, so I assume I can make a Windows 10 partition now.

Sometimes multiprocessing.Process.join() returns too quick, is that a known issue?
proc = multiprocessing.Process(...)
proc.start()
start = time.perf_counter()
proc.join(10)
if proc.exitcode is None:
print(time.perf_counter() - start) # Sometimes will print "0.10", way lower than 10 seconds
might be caused by EINTR or something... I guess I have to loop my call to .join()

hmm, neither works
i am reading stdin with fileinput.input() for what its worth
(echo canary; cat) | python -i getstdin.py with and without -n arg are making the stdin hang and wait for an input
exiting out with ctrl + C shows that the KeyboardInterrupt is raised
if I can input a delimiter somehow that will end input() call i am assuming i will be put in the right py context
i am using echo solely for testing btw
i am intending to only fetch the output of cat

Has anyone successfuly handled unix file system paths with special characters in python?
i'm using os.walk to scan a folder and save file stats (paths, file size, metadata, etc) to a db, but certain paths seem unparseable with python.
For example, listdir returns one file name with a unicode character \udca0 in it. No matter what i've tried (encoding to bytes, surrogatepass) i cannot get a real path from that string that returns true from os.path.exists, desptie being able to see the file in file explorer
Wondering if anyone here has worked with paths in linux that have special characters like that and how to handle them, before i try asking on stack

I have a Dell laptop that shipped with Windows 10 but only has linux mint installed on it now. I previously attempted to install the proper nvidia driver for the GPU that is in the machine, but in so doing I messed up the display such that I could no longer do anything and had to start over (ie install Linux again from the flash drive). I can't afford to have that happen again now that the semester is in full swing so I'm afraid to figure out what to do via my own investigation.

get an external drive and mess around with that so you don't f up the internal drive.
boot from the external drive*
once you get it to work, you can stop using the drive, and then repeat the steps on the main drive.
granite aspen
@burnt flax so plug in the same flash drive as before and boot from the flash drive, but don't install over the existing installation? that sounds like a good plan.
does that mean that any thing I do during that session is restricted to live memory or what?
burnt flax
I don't actually know, I just know this from a friend. It would probably be restricted to the external drive and RAM.
@granite aspen ^
No, wait
The main drive would probably be mounted by default.

my idea was @granite aspen would boot seperately, and then mess around on that to figure out how to fix it, then do it on the real drive

I could also make a VM of the same operating system?
but idk if that will let me touch the gpu
burnt flax
that's why I would use a seperate drive
granite aspen

harsh owl
a VM wouldn't really let you recreate this problem. if you boot off another drive, you could basically install the OS, monkey around, then switch to other drive if something goes wrong
it'd be like taking the drive out of your laptop, putting in a new one, installing onto that. then swapping back if you needed to

Virtual Machines virtualize hardware, so you wouldn't be able to test out hardware specific things. (Unless you passed through your hardware, but then you wouldn't be able to use your host system, which means that you wouldn't be able to use your VM)

@granite aspen In short, I'd take a second drive, be it the 8gb flash drive, an external ssd or hdd, anything.
Flash that with the same OS you currently run.
Boot your laptop from that external drive, you'd need to enter BIOS or boot manager to do this, before the OS even launches.
This means you'll be running off of the external drive, and the internal drive will likely be mounted. I would unmount it if it happens to be mounted.
Use the laptop running from the external drive for a while, trying to make the issue occur. At that point, you now have a system for figuring out what the issue is.
Now you can troubleshoot solutions, and whatever you change should be on the external drive, not affecting your main internal drive.
clearly in short
main olive
I think reinstallation is faster
Just boot from live usb copy your data and do a fresh install
hoary pond
@granite aspen be careful to check your bios before you do anything - mainly where the bios recognises the windows partition to be in
cuz if you install an os in a drive where the bios recognises another boot media or something, its gonna ruin your other os

hey guys I am trying to come up with a source able shell script to be able to run some python scripts on a schedule. Say after I source this shell script source <name-of-script> and type in a command on the command-line(say execute) it should be able to run all my python scripts in order. Would this be possible? To get started on this I am trying to understand how to read commands from within the script, say when execute is typed on the command-line, the script should run without typing out the script name since we initially sourced it. I would appreciate some pointers on how to get started.

What you can do is defined a function: ```sh
execute() {
python script1.py
python script2.py
}
and then when you source it, the `execute` command will become available in your current shell session. Then you just enter `execute` and it will run your function.Thanks mark!

Why is this not working?
Exporting passwords is a bad idea
prime magnet
yeap, also leaving them in bash history
neat epoch
Exporting passwords is a bad idea
what do for an environment variable then?
i need it for os.environ
main olive
Hash it at the very least
But that would require you to enter a password anyway, so back at square one
main olive
Just call MariaDB or use a SQL API
prime magnet
what I do. I still need to have then in os.env (e.g. containers), I create a .env and source it via bash script. Also, have in mind that is not good idea to place sensitive data into VSC
main olive
Storing unencrypted or unhashed passwords is bad practice
neat epoch
it's an environment variable, it doesn't really matter
but anyways @prime magnet's answer fixed it

```bash
sudo apt -y update && sudo apt -y upgrade

Kali isn't a good choice of Linux distro, unless you're a pentester.

xauth command not found
muted sandal
well i don't think so
i have installed libpam
i think the xauth is in the linux -pam
linux pam works fine
unreal totem
As i said, i know nothing about lfs
muted sandal
there's xauth that's what fricked me out
muted sandal
As i said, i know nothing about lfs
you want to know ?
the problem is attitude here it's either IDK or why not do it
well i'm not rude tbh
if you want to know then all you need to do is look what the shit is
and figure out something
that's how i code nowadays lol
unreal totem
Ok, on the page i postet there is a package xauth-1.1.tar.bz2
muted sandal
yeah i'm installing that
unreal totem
So it doesnt seem to be in libpam
unreal totem
Yea it stands for plugable authentication module, this is pretty much all i know 😛
unreal totem
What happened?
muted sandal
well lemme enter the command startx
unreal totem
Fingers crossed
unreal totem
Thats unfortunate
muted sandal
unreal totem
What is in he log?
muted sandal
no screens found :/
muted sandal
well
unreal totem
As far as i know, screen is a terminal multiplexer. Used to give you more than one terminal over ssh for example
similar to tmux
harsh owl
screen indeed has nothing to do with xorg, x11 or wayland.
unreal totem
Your problem seems to be more on the driver site at the moment
unreal totem
What does lspci | grep vga give you
muted sandal
damn i did shutdown it well wait a second
harsh owl
BATMAN: so what is exactly going on? you are trying to remotely connect to a server and run an xsession from it? or is this a local server (laptop, desktop) and trying to get X to start up?
muted sandal
actually i'm insatlling xorg into my Linuxfromscratch build
harsh owl
ah ok. well its good to learn. like Tenris said, you want to see which video cards your system sees, that lspci command ought to work
typically xorg doesn't require any configuration to start up these days. do you know what kind of video card you have?
unreal totem
It's a Qemu/kvm box i learned
harsh owl
ahh, yeah, that changes things.
muted sandal
yeah
shy yokeBOT
Hey @muted sandal!
harsh owl
qemu gets you an emulated graphics device. i scrolled up and saw an error message about X already running? when its back up, can you run ps faux | grep -i xorg ?
muted sandal
damn
harsh owl
if you see any processes running, x has already started
harsh owl
you can use the pastebin for text output, https://paste.pythondiscord.com
muted sandal
yeah did that now what ?
harsh owl
you just click the save button on the left, then copy/paste the url into here
er save button the right
muted sandal
harsh owl
looks like a floppy disk
harsh owl
okay so what its saying is that it didnt detect a monitor. which makes sense if its a vm.
muted sandal
oh damn
harsh owl
[ 767.179] (==) No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section".
harsh owl
since its a vm, you're not easily going to be able to connect to it like you would a local Xorg instance. usually what people do is either vnc in, use ssh -X, things like that.
this is a vm right? qemu/kvm instance?
harsh owl
can you post the output of lspci -v to that pastebin site?
linuxfromscratch is kind of 'hard mode' compared to stuff like ubuntu, debian, mint, pop_os et al. but not saying thats a bad thing ;)
i like arch linux a lot lately and its not super newb friendly
harsh owl
just lspci would work too, no need for -v if too much output.
harsh owl
huh, that's a new one for me. what is the goal of this assignment?
muted sandal
well
harsh owl
how 'bout sudo dmesg | grep -i vga ?
muted sandal
didn't show any
actully this is in qemu
but i have used qemu-nbd
and loaded it in the chroot env
muted sandal
well i kind of wanted to make an os for my college final year project
and i'm doing it
the os is built
but now the xorg is fricking me up
@harsh owl you there ?
harsh owl
so like i said, your options for launching xorg in qemu are limited. you can do complicated things like pci passthrough so your qemu instance has access to manipulate the system GPU, but that is pretty troublesome
muted sandal
well
harsh owl
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/QEMU/Options is a good link on the subject, albeit for a different distro
muted sandal
well different yeah
harsh owl
did you poke around with this? http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/qemu.html
muted sandal
that's for the build having qemu
unreal totem
Just a question, would it be reasonable to convert the qemu/kvm box to virtualbox?
There you get a pci graphics card
harsh owl
i agree, virtualbox makes it much easier for this sort of thing. i use qemu/kvm myself, but generally launch a vnc server or use ssh -X in the guest.
on the rare occasion i need gui stuff
muted sandal
so what you guys are meaning ?
unreal totem
You could try it, if you aren't forced to use qemu
unreal totem
I would give it a try. Install virtualbox and try to convert the image
muted sandal
well yeah wait a sec
harsh owl
when you did the ps faux | grep -i xorg, did anything come up? im curious if x already running like a previous error message indicated.
muted sandal
ps faux? command?
i did that but it was in chroot
now it's in the qemu
now say it i'll do it
@harsh owl it runs in the virtio
harsh owl
what is the output of ps faux | grep -i xorg ?
harsh owl
okay so xorg is not started in the vm. and we see your emulated vga device
harsh owl
what is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d ? anything? or anything /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
muted sandal
actually
harsh owl
cd into xorg.conf.d and ls
harsh owl
okay in this doc - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/qemu.html
try the instructions around the section that has the command cat > /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-vmware.conf << "EOF"
you basically just select that whole block and paste it in, then try to startx and see what happens
what your vm is complaining about, is that it cant detect a monitor configuration, so xorg cant start.
i dunno much about qxl vga emulated driver. like i said, i just ssh -X or start up vnc either in the guest or as a qemu arg.
but your config is saying 'make the emulated VGA device use the qxl paravirtualized driver'
shrug
muted sandal
well

Hello everyone, I have a custom build yocto image here that I am using to deploy to an FPGA board. I am trying to run a python script on my image to be able to record devices for a project. Unfortunately I haven't been able to run this script after deploying to the board. There is some driver in the linux kernel(SDHCI) that is causing a bug and preventing the script from running. I have looked up this issue online and found out that I have to suppress these error logs somehow but I am not sure how? Here is the error message after I run my script. I would really appreciate some help on this as I have been stuck on this for a while. Ty!
I have also tried disabling that particular driver in the kernel but the problem still keeps persisting
thick drift
I have also tried disabling that particular driver in the kernel but the problem...
Is the sd card the only storage you have on the system? Do you have lspci, lsusb, or dmidecode available to you? If so, you may be able to apply a quirk to the kernel command line. Otherwise, you can try blacklisting the sdhci module to see if that helps. I haven't done yocto before, but if you can interrupt the bootloader, you can apply quirks and blacklist or load modules at boot time to test things
Does anyone work with ansible much here? For $day_job, we use ansible to manage a pretty wide assortment of RHEL stuff. We use two or three different ansible versions with rhel 7 and 8 and python 3.6 and 3.8. We currently use virtualenvwrapper because some of our users are not super savvy with virtual envs. To me, it looks like the virtualenvwrapper projects is not very active. I've written some ansible and shell script stuff to replace some of the virtualenvwrapper functionality that we use. Is anyone else in the same boat? multiple Venvs for ansible? How are you managing the virtual env?

Depends on the size you need. Small ones are pretty cheap these days. I got a 120 GB one for like $25

warped nimbus

Kingston. I can send you the model numbers if you're interested
burnt flax
ye sure
warped nimbus
Kingston SA400S37/120G is the SSD. StarTech USB3S2SAT3CB is the cable. You need to be mindful of which cable you get since some don't work very well or at all. This one is known to work. However, I should note that my cable went bad after about 1.5 years of use. Thankfully it was under warranty so I got a free replacement. A bit disappointing though since this was supposedly one of the best cables to get.

I cannot use ssh key pairs.
Remote server will not run the rsync daemon, (--password-file method doesn't work)
I don't care about security, so don't concern yourself with it in a possible solution.I've ran into something similar when sftp for automated deployments
I found a utility called sshpass. It may fit the bill for you too.
warped nimbus
It's for the client.
It enables you to automatically enter a password in interactive mode (i.e. when something is waiting for you to type it manually)
