Syncing back into the initial source directory?

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 10:38 AM PDT

After syncing files from directory A to directory B, I dry runned (ran?) to see if directory B would have any files directory A would not have. The problem is that the dry run listed all of the files I have initially synced into directory B. I am not understanding something fundamental.

If I would have to feed them back to each other, what command would be appropriate to do so?

How to install .tar.bz2 files in Fedora?

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 10:30 AM PDT

I'm looking for ways to install, firefox-89.0.tar.bz2 for example on Fedora 34, and I can't figure out a way to do it.. So how would I install a .tar.bz2 archive in Fedora, or RHEL based distros?

Linux -- programable menu application for wayland

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 10:26 AM PDT

I am using openbox window manager and I love the and I love it's menu concept where I can edit menu in XML and I can program it to call my scripts, open a terminal and open somethjing inside the terminal etc.

It is wonderful! I created SSH buttons where each menu button connects to a remote server and it is flawless! Also when I open the menu, I can see the menu buttons and somehow remember applications that I might otherwise forget!

Is there any similar menu that I can implement in sway (or gnome)? Rofi, wofi, dmenu... are not sufficient, because I can't store my own menu items there... I see these just as for example "Run" launcher in Windows 10 main menu. They should be only a launcher that is implemented standalone or as a part of the menu. But they can not replace the menu.

So... Is there any openbox-like menu out there that I can implement in sway (or gnome)? It would bne the best if it is a native wayland application.

Incrementally Swap Lines Between Two Regex Patterns in a File

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 10:39 AM PDT

I'm trying to do some text processing on a file using a bash script. The goal is to take all of the lines starting with "field:" indented under an 'attribute:' label and swap them with the associated line starting with "- attr:" that follows.

So far I think I have regex patterns that should match the labels:

/ *field:(.*)/g

/ *- attr:(.*)/g

But I haven't had any success with the logic to parse through the desired fields and get them to swap correctly.

Example Input Text

- metric: 'example.metric.1'    attributes:        field: 'example 1'      - attr: 'example1'        field: 'example 2'      - attr: 'example2'        field: 'example 3'      - attr: 'example3'        field: 'example 4'      - attr: 'example4'  - metric: 'example.metric.2'    attributes:        field: 'example 5'      - attr: 'example5'        field: 'example 6'      - attr: 'example6'        field: 'example 7'      - attr: 'example7'  - metric: 'example.metric.3'  ...

Desired Output

- metric: 'example.metric.1'    attributes:      - attr: 'example1'        field: 'example 1'      - attr: 'example2'        field: 'example 2'      - attr: 'example3'        field: 'example 3'      - attr: 'example4'        field: 'example 4'  - metric: 'example.metric.2'    attributes:      - attr: 'example5'        field: 'example 5'      - attr: 'example6'        field: 'example 6'      - attr: 'example7'        field: 'example 7'  - metric: 'example.metric.3'  ...

How would I go about accomplishing this?

Linux Command To Check If Users In /etc/passwd Exist In A Different File

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 09:01 AM PDT

Is it possible to query the /etc/passwd file to view all user UIDS less than 200 and to check if those users are within a file such as /etc/ftpusers?

So far, I have managed to craft the command below which lists out all users with a UID lower than 200, but I am not sure how to check if those listed users are within the /etc/ftpusers file.

grep -Ev "^\+" /etc/passwd | awk -F: '($3 < 200) {print $1}'

If any users are not in the file, I need the difference to be outputted. I have tried to use a for statement but it has not worked well.

Search through on Linux files and filter out specific string and remove everything else

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 10:13 AM PDT

I am trying to find an efficient way of searching through a whole set of files in a directory and only looking for a specific string up to the first comma.

Example of the postgres log file:

Apr 27 03:35:18 test postgres[24098]: [5-1] user=postgres,db=postgres,app=psqlclient=127.0.0.1  Apr 27 03:35:18 test postgres[24098]: [5-2] user=postgres,db=postgres,app=psqlclient=127.0.0.1

I am only interested in the username used in the files. I could use pgbadger and look at it via HTML but would be quite time consuming.

So as an example, I would be able to see just :

user=postgres

As opposed to the whole set of text before and after the user.

However I am looking for any user not specifically postgres.

I have tried using grep on files but I only see results on just user=postgres.

Is there anyway of searching through a set of files for say user= up until the first comma as an example?

Or even search every file and remove anything that is before user= in each row, I could then maybe put into excel to get the result I need.

Any help is much appreciated.

Need help making a script that notifies me when my battery is low

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 08:57 AM PDT

I have a script that shows me the battery percentage in dwmblocks, in which I have also added the functionality to notify me when by battery percentage is low. but the way I've written it, it keeps sending a new notification until the charge goes above 20. how would I go about fixing that so that I only get the notification once?

Note that the script is called every 5 seconds.

if [ "$bat" -lt 20 ]; then      echo "$redbg$tfg $ramp20 $bbg$bat%"      if [ "$status" -e "Discharging" ]; then          notify-send --urgency=critical "battery low"       fi  elif [ "$bat" -lt "40" ]; then      echo "$ybg$tfg $ramp40 $bbg$bat%"  elif [ "$bat" -lt "60" ]; then      echo "$ybg$tfg $ramp60 $bbg$bat%"  elif [ "$bat" -lt "70" ]; then      echo "$ybg$tfg $ramp70 $bbg$bat%"  elif [ "$bat" -lt "90" ]; then      echo "$gbg$tfg $ramp90 $bbg$bat%"  elif [ "$bat" -le "100" ]; then      echo "$gbg$tfg $ramp100 $bbg$bat%"      if [ "$status" -e "Charging" ]; then          notify-send "battery sufficiently charged"       fi  fi

Getting Wireguard statistics without root

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 08:13 AM PDT

I am writing a simple python webapp for monitoring wireguard VPNs; the data are obtained from the wg-json tool provided with Wireguard, which essentially calls wg show all dump. wg show all unfortunately requires the CAP_NET_ADMIN (even though it is not modifying anything). Running the entire webapp with extra capabilities is not desirable.

What are good practices for such a case? I have a few ideas:

  • Add the command /bin/bash /usr/share/doc/wireguard-tools/examples/json/wg-json to sudoers with NOPASSWD and run it with sudo.

  • Create a compiled executable only wrapping wg-json as subprocess, and use setcap on that executable.

What would you suggest?

What happens when I turn my ethernet off? What steps does the OS perform once I turn the ethernet OFF?

I want to know what actually happens once I turn my ethernet OFF. What does the OS do on a network layer? Does it flush the routing table or anything like that.

Installing VirtualBox 6.1.22 conflicts with installed 6.0.20

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 08:14 AM PDT

On my CentOS 7 installation I am looking to upgrade VM VirtualBox. The downloaded installer runs through yum and asks permission to install. However the installation fails with a Transaction check error, where generally

file /.../...6.1.22... conflicts with file from package /.../...6.0.20...

But I don't want them to be compatible, I just want to install the new version. Why is the upgrade failing?

Debian everything-in-usr directory scheme (usrmerge) breaks dpkg -S. Work around?

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 09:33 AM PDT

I'm used to using dpkg -S /path/to/file to figure out where something came from on Debian. The ~new "everything-in-usr" AKA usrmerge policy often breaks this. For just on example:

> dpkg -S /bin/systemd  systemd: /bin/systemd  > readlink -f /bin/systemd  /usr/lib/systemd/systemd  > dpkg -S /usr/lib/systemd/systemd  dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/lib/systemd/systemd

This sucks because the actual executable running is /usr/lib/systemd/systemd so I'm much more likely to want to know what package that came from in any given usage of dpkg -S. Is there another usrmerge aware substitute for dpkg -S I could used to easily and reliably track an executable back to its package?

Match multiple pattern from a file and copy matching files in a dir to new dir

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 09:27 AM PDT

How to copy files from dir1 to dir2, matching pattern in a file1? for example:

file1:

T0_1  T0_2  T0_3

Dir1:

T0_1_xxx_xx  E1_1_xxx_xx  T0_2_xxx_xx  E1_2_xxx_xx  E1_3_xxx_xx  T0_2_xxx_xx

I want to copy T0_1_xxx_xx, T0_2_xxx_xx, T0_3_xxx_xx to new dir2. There are 124 names in file1, and 372 files in dir1.

While statement: Cannot get compound of multiple conditions to work

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 10:25 AM PDT

I try to parse arguments by a recursive descent schema.

The while statements calls an eat! function after every execution to get the next $current_token to process.

The problem now is that this way it goes into an infinite loop.

To be exact, there are two while loops in the function.

Either one of them or both are not working because the compound is syntactically (or logically?) wrong.

Could you please check what might be wrong with the following code on the many levels possible?

1)

while $(isWord? $current_token) || ! $(isVersionNumber? $current_token) && ! $(endOfInput?); do  
while isVersionNumber? $current_token && ! endOfInput?; do

Also what is correct? To put the checking-functions in a command substitution or not?

Could it be that short-circuiting also prevents the endOfInput?-test ?

Because that should absolutely stop the loop.

On request of ilkkachu

The test functions' code:

isWord? () {      local pattern="^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$"      if [[ $1 =~ $pattern ]]; then          echo true      else          echo false      fi  }    isVersionNumber? () {      local pattern="^[0-9]{1,2}(\.[0-9]{,2})*$"      if [[ $1 =~ $pattern ]]; then          echo true      else          echo false      fi  }    EO_ARGS=1    function endOfInput? {   if [ $current_token_index -ge $ARGC ]; then      EO_ARGS=0   fi   echo $EO_ARGS  }

I assume it outputs another command, since you're using it in a command substitution?

No it was just a try because I don't know whether or not I can just call the functions in the conditional without command substitution.

For completeness' sake, I also add the eat! function.

eat! () {        if [[ ! $(($current_char_index + 1)) -gt $ARGC ]]; then    current_token=${ARGV[$current_token_index]}    ((current_token_index += 1))      current_char=${current_token:0:1}  }

And may the conditions maybe be formulated better with test / [ ([[) ?

Could the exclamation mark be the point of failure?

The following seems to be syntactically wrong:

while [ endOfInput -eq 1 ] && isWord? "$current_token" || ! isVersionNumber? "$current_token"; do

From the bracket [ I get the error message

[: endOfInput: integral expression expected (translation)

Advantages of non preemptive kernel? [duplicate]

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 09:12 AM PDT

The Question is still unresolved since the duplicate answer was wrong (has a false claim as I explained in my last comment)

I have seen the following question:

Why the first Linux developers chose to implement a non preemptive kernel?

Hint: Linux was developed in the 90s, where personal computers mostly had only one CPU core. Which advantage non preemptive kernel provides on s single core computer and why this advantage decreases in multi core?

I am still confused why a non preemptive kernel will give any advantage, any idea or help is appreciated.

Use awk or sed to remove everything between < >

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 08:53 AM PDT

I have the following in a txt file:

<ol><li><b><a href="/page1/Mark_Yato" title="Mark Yato">Mark Yato</a> ft. MarkAm &amp; <a href="/page1/Giv%C4%93on" title="Givēon">Givēon</a> - <a href="/page1/Mark_Yato:Thuieo" title="Mark Yato:Thuieo">Thuieo</a> (7)</b></li>  <li><b><a href="/page1/The_Central" title="The Central">The Central</a> - <a href="/page1/The_Central:AHTIOe oie" title="The Central:AHTIOe oie">AHTIOe oie</a> (7)</b></li>  <li><b><a href="/page1/Taa_Too_A" title="Taa Too A">Taa Too A</a> - <a href="/page1/Taa_Too_A:ryhwtyw w" title="Taa Too A:ryhwtyw w">ryhwtyw w</a> (8)</b></li>

and am trying to make it output as the following:

Mark Yato ft. MarkAm & Givēon - Thuieo  The Central - AHTIOe oie  Taa Too A - ryhwtyw w

To achieve this, I thought I would try removing '<', '>' and everything between them so it's left with just the list I'm trying to get.

I tried the following sed command already:

sed 's/<[^()]*>//g'

but this is outputting just the following:

(7)  (7)  (8)

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix the sed command or translate it into awk if it is better use for that?

Airodump-ng fixed channel wlan0: -1 problem. awus1900

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 08:22 AM PDT

I have awus1900 adapter and use kali linux on vmware

Driver for awus1900 I installed from this site: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8814au

Before switching the adapter to monitor mode, I entered the command airmon-ng check kill

My system is completely updated. I tried to switch to monitor mode using the airmon-ng start wlan0 command and manually. Both methods didn't work.

My monitor interface: wlan0

When I tried to catch a handshake using the airodump-ng -c <channel> --bssid <AP mac> -w handshake wlan0 command, the program showed the message: fixed channel wlan0: -1

I can enter the --ig flag in airodump-ng, but, in this case, the airplay-ng comand won't work for me.

The comand: aireplay-ng --deauth 3 -a <AP mac> -c <client> -x 64 wlan0 --ig will return this: 14:35:48 Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: AC:9E:17:B1:5D:04) on channel -1
14:35:48 Sending 64 directed DeAuth (code 7). STMAC: [AE:A9:82:D6:C4:C3] [ 0| 0 ACKs] 14:35:49 Sending 64 directed DeAuth (code 7). STMAC: [AE:A9:82:D6:C4:C3] [ 0| 0 ACKs] 14:35:49 Sending 64 directed DeAuth (code 7). STMAC: [AE:A9:82:D6:C4:C3] [ 0| 0 ACKs]

The program runs, but no effect

Without --ig aireplay-ng doesn't work
It returnes:
14:59:46 Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: AC:9E:17:B1:5D:04) on channel -1
14:59:46 Couldn't determine current channel for wlan0, you should either force the operation with --ignore-negative-one or apply a kernel patch

I don't know how to apply a kernel patch

My Kali Linux version 5.10.0-kali7-amd64

Why can't I use the strings command on the strings binary?

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 09:05 AM PDT

I cannot run the strings command on the strings binary (which is for me located at /usr/bin/strings:

$ strings $(which strings)  strings

I also can't copy it and try it on the copy of it:

$ cp -L $(which strings) /tmp/  $ strings /tmp/strings  strings

The only way I can get it is to capture the output in cat:

$ strings <<< $(cat $(which strings))  ...

But there are other commands that this kind of self-referencing works with (e.g., cat $(which cat)). I looked it up and it works on some other machines [image pulled from here]. Perhaps it is a macOS thing? (I am currently running macOS 10.14).

I understand that this is a silly question with potentially no use case, but I am just curious...

Fedora 33 - Run command or script at startup

In 2020 (last day today too), Fedora 33, what is the ideal way to run a command or script at startup?

I am asking this again because over the years I have seen several different ways of doing it, some of which are now obsolete, so in 2020, what is the ideal way to do this?

Files holder application like dropover and yoink for Mac

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 08:15 AM PDT

I've recently switched back from macOS to Linux Mint. The only thing I miss about Mac is having a utility that could hold my files for copying and pasting while I switch between the desktops.

Yoink worked in a way that when you drag a file to a configured area (say left edge) a mini window appears. You can drag your files there and the window stays on that edge even if you are switching between the desktops. You can easily then pick the files and drop where you actually want those.

This helped me in a lot of cases like:

  • Drag the file from the browser and the drop in another tab (normally you'd have to first download the file)
  • easy copy-pasting files between windows or desktops.

I am starving for a Linux alternative.

Open a tmux session and then change to different user without password prompt

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 08:38 AM PDT

I am trying to create a script that opens a new tmux session and then runs a command inside that tmux session as a different user.

The purpose of this is to create a new tmux session for a game server, which has a different unix user assigned to it. I have heard that giving servers their own users was good practice, but I would still like to have a script in the home directory of my main user to start the server for convenience. I would like the tmux session to be available from my main user, yet be logged in to the game server user.

The main problem is that there is a password prompt that I cannot get around, requiring me to attach to the tmux session, enter the password, and then detach. This is what I have tried:

#!/bin/sh    tmux new -d -s Minecraft sudo -u minecraft /home/minecraft/server/start.sh

I have tried every combination of running the script with sudo, adding su - Minecraft to the script, and su Minecraft -c "script", and in each one it either requires me to attach to the tmux session and login or just does not work, leaving no tmux session open.

I am trying to find a solution which would allow me to type in my sudo password or the other user's password when I run the script which invokes tmux, instead of having to login by attaching and then detaching.

FreeBSD 11.2 - Default resolution on console window

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 10:04 AM PDT

I installed FreeBSD 11.2 on my DELL Latitude E7470 with UEFI (might be important). By default it does not install a GUI and that is fine by me (for now). Using the <Alt>+<Fn> keys I can switch between different virtual terminals.

I'm stuck with a 1920x1080 screen resolution

This results in way too small characters for me to read comfortably.

  • I tried enterind mode 0 in /boot/loader.conf to switch to 800x600 mode but that does not work. It does work however when I press the <Esc> key during boot and enter it at the boot prompt.
  • Using gop set <n> crashes the laptop, i.e. the screen goes black and the laptop does not respond to any keys anymore.

Anyone has any ideas on how to fix this?

Is there a global nanorc?

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 08:46 AM PDT

I've recently started using nano quite a bit for code editing.
I've written custom syntax files, and I can include them in my local ~/.nanorc.

However, I do work across multiple accounts, so I manually have to apply the include to each user's .nanorc.

Is there a system-wide nanorc file I can edit, so the changes take effect for all users?

How to know if a disk is an SSD or an HDD

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 08:22 AM PDT

I want to know whether a disk is a solid-state drive or hard disk.

lshw is not installed. I do yum install lshw and it says there is no package named lshw. I do not know which version of http://pkgs.repoforge.org/lshw/ is suitable for my CentOS.

I search the net and there is nothing that explain how to know whether a drive is SSD or HDD. Should I just format them first?

Boot Linux system from a subdirectory on a partition?

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 08:59 AM PDT

I would like to try to set up a computer so that it has multiple Linux installs all in the same filesystem. For example, the filesytem would have 3 folders: /Ubuntu_Precise, /Ubuntu_Oneiric, and /Ubuntu_Natty.

(I know you can do this with BTRFS and subvolumes, but I would like to use EXT4 for speed).

I once set up multiple installs of different distros using BTRFS, and from getting that working, I know Grub does just fine with booting the vmlinuz and initrd image from 'nonstandard' paths. But when I was doing the BTRFS thing, there was the rootflags=subvol=@<subvolume_name> that told the kernel to mount that subvolume as / in the filesystem. Is there any argument that you could pass the kernel that would make it bind mount a subfolder in a partition as / and then boot?

I think for the other parts, I'm fairly close. I know how to specific a bind mount in /etc/fstab. Also, from when I set up my system with multiple linux installs in BTRFS subvolumes, I'm used to installing a distro in a VM and then migrating it using rsync, so I'm not too worried about what I would need to do to get the right configuration, I'm just trying to find out what the right configuration would be. Once I know that, I should be able to do the migration into the subfolders and file editing easily enough.

I already know about virtualization and partitions, but that's not what I'm looking for. The target computer does not have enough power to do virtualization, and partitions do not share free space. I'm looking to set up a system that dual/triple/quad/etc boots linux distros, but that does it with one filesystem, so that there is no case of "I have free space, but it's in the wrong partition!'

If anyone has suggestions how to edit my question or its title to be clearer, I'm all ears.

How can I kill a <defunct> process whose parent is init?

Posted: 04 Jun 2021 09:32 AM PDT

Transmission is intermittently hanging on my NAS. If I send SIGTERM, it doesn't disappear from the process list and a <defunct> label appears next to it. If I send a SIGKILL, it still doesn't disappear and I can't terminate the parent because the parent is init. The only way I can get rid of the process and restart Transmission is to reboot.

I realize the best thing I can do is try and fix Transmission (and I've tried), but I'm a novice at compiling and I wanted to make sure my torrents finished before I start messing around with it.
