| How to loop over every character of a filename? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 09:16 AM PDT So, I've a simple nested loop where the outer for loops over all the files in a directory and the inner for loops over all characters of these filenames. #!/bin/bash if [ $# -lt 1 ] then echo "Please provide an argument" exit fi for file in `ls $1` do for ch in $file do echo $ch done done
The script above doesn't work. The inner loop doesn't loop over all the characters in the filename but instead loops over the entire thing.  |
| Why GVim doesn't use dark theme? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 08:52 AM PDT I want to make the interface of GVim to use dark theme. I have the following line in my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini: [Settings] gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=1
All my GTK apps use dark theme but for some reason GVim still uses a light theme. How can I change that? Note: When I run gvim --version the following line is in the result: Huge version with GTK3 GUI. So I'm sure it's using GTK3.  |
| FreeBSD gets stuck when booting Posted: 04 Jul 2021 07:30 AM PDT So last night I downloaded the x-zipped FreeBSD version labeled disc1 from here and left my MacBook running Big-Sur on overnight. The next day, I opened up a terminal and typed qemu-system-ppc64 -cdrom FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso -hda idk_disk (idk_disk is a blank disk created with qemu-img create idk_disk 5g). The system looked fine, but it then got stuck at Kernel entry at 0x100630 as seen in the image below. It has been stuck on this line for about 20 minutes. I have no idea how to fix this.  |
| Having an interactive shell experience but running everything through dash Posted: 04 Jul 2021 07:48 AM PDT So im starting to get addicted POSIX standarts and simplicity yet i hate not having autocomplete using the arrows to go through characters and i want a cool shell prompt so is there anyway i have something like fish or Zsh or even bash on the frontend so i can have autocomplete, a nice and informative prompt, being able to go foward and backwards on the command with arrows but when i press enter the command itself is ran by Dash instead of the interactive thing unless the script requires bash fish or etc in the shebang i just want to feel confortable when typing the command the rest can be harsh and simple im using Konsole although im thinking to changing to a console prompt that allows Überzug(yes im aware that GUI's exist for a reason, its just for LF)also forgot although sh redirects to dash on konsole i told it to go for bash  |
| Can't transfer files from linux to window using scp? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 06:58 AM PDT I read many similar questions on stackoverflow and StackExchange. But I still failed to use scp to transfer files from linux to window. scp -r need_transfer_dir -P port username@ip:destination_directory
- First, I used scp to transfer files from window to linux, it was successful.
- I have also succeeded in transferring files from this linux server to other linux servers.
- I can use Xftp to successfully exchange files on my windows computer and linux server, but I have to open the
Xftp software every time, and I want to use scp command line to transfer files. - I transfer files from the linux server to my windows computer, but after various attempts, I have not succeeded.
I don't know which step has the problem The process I tried is as follows: 1.I check the ip address of my windows computer. Open cmd. Type ipconfig  So my ip address is the line beginning with 10. in the figure(). I check my username. But I don't know how to find it on the window. I tried the following methods. (1). Open cmd. Type whoami the result is : desktop-7l9s7rg\user (2) Open git Bash. Type whoami the result is : User (3) Open the account settings of the window account, as shown in the figure below, my email is displayed.  I tried the following command line. scp -P 22 -r diff_work User@10.1.30.253:/c:/ scp -P 22 -r diff_work desktop-7l9s7rg\user@10.1.30.253:/c:/ scp -P 22 -r diff_work my_email@10.1.30.253:/c:/ scp -r diff_work User@10.1.30.253:/c:/ scp -r diff_work desktop-7l9s7rg\user@10.1.30.253:/c:/ scp -r diff_work my_email\user@10.1.30.253:/c:/
But none of them worked. Can anyone help me see what went wrong. Or how to find the error? thank you very much!  |

| How can I convince NetworkManager to accept my configuration? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 06:59 AM PDT This is Debian Buster. I need NetworkManager in order to run OpenShift. My main interface is plugged in a Linuxbridge br1, which is configured in /etc/network/interfaces: auto br1 iface br1 inet static bridge_ports eno1 address 192.168.1.27 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 dns-nameservers 192.168.1.16, 1.1.1.1
According to the documentation, NetworkManager should leave br1 alone. When I installed NetworkManager, a message to this effect was even displayed. However, br1 is managed by NM. I can probably live with this, but wonder why documentation and reality differ. Next, NM sets the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf to 127.0.0.1. I tried to change that with nmcli c mod br1 ipv4.dns 192.168.1.16. The journal confirms using nameserver 192.168.1.16#53(via br1), but /etc/resolv.conf is still set to 127.0.0.1. I also set dns=none in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, but to no avail. Yes, I did restart the service. Any tips what I should do to correctly set the nameserver, and convince NetworkManager that it should not manage the bridge?  |
| Change Konsole keymapping for resizing text Posted: 04 Jul 2021 05:50 AM PDT I'm using Manjaro KDE and I was trying to change the keymapping for resizing text on the Konsole terminal from the default Ctrl+Num to Ctrl+Shift+Num, to avoid collisions with Vim keymappings. But when I try to set increase text size to Ctrl+Shift+Num+ it doesn't get the Shift key and instead sets it to just Ctrl+Num+. I'm using Spanish layout with the Generic 105-key (QWERTY). Edit: When I first hold the combination it detects both Ctrl+Num+ and Ctrl+Shift+Num+, but when I release them it chooses the wrong one. Edit2: I add a capture of the moment when it detects both combinations:

| ffmpeg produces only noise when decoding ac3 audio on debian buster Posted: 04 Jul 2021 04:57 AM PDT Since doing a fresh install of debian buster I have problems with the sound of video files with ac3 ([6][0][0][0] / 0x0006), 48000 Hz, 5.1(side), fltp, 448 kb/s audio: - Converting the
mts video gives me a video with silent audio stream with only rare random noise - Using the
mp2 audio stream of the mts instead works as expected - Playing the
mts video in openshot (which seems to use ffmpeg internally) gives wild noise with almost no relation to the correct audio stream vlc can play all audio streams of the video without problems- The output doesn't show any obvious errors or warnings

| How do reset Debian 10.9 root and login password? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 05:42 AM PDT I'm currently using Debian 10.9 buster release with gnome 3.30.2 I forgot my login and root password but I've had auto-login enabled i.e., I'm automatically logged in after a reboot or power on but, I'm unable to perform admin tasks / tasks related to sudo command. So to reset my password, most of the ways I know of, need sudo previliges and the one way which doesn't involve any use of gnome session terminal is through the use of advanced settings from grub menu but as you can see, my grub disappears in just a flash ( inferring from the grub config below) i.e., grub is hidden and the timeout is zero, precluding me from accessing advanced settings via grub and ironically, I need sudo previliges to reconfig my grub My grub config looks something like this - # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. # For full documentation of the options in this file, see: # info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration' GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" # Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs # This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains # the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...) #GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef" # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only) #GRUB_TERMINAL=console # The resolution used on graphical terminal # note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE # you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo' #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 # Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true # Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries #GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

| Symlinks in a path pointing to another drive block `ls` Posted: 04 Jul 2021 06:30 AM PDT I recently took out some specific directories from my /home directory and put them on an external hard drive that is mounted on another path (/mnt). Inside my home directory I have created symlinks to some of the old directories in order to access them seamlessly (for instance, I moved my ~/media/music to /mnt/media/music). Now, if I cd into a directory that contains one of these symlinks (for instance, I created a symlink for /mnt/media/music into ~/media/) and then I issue an ls command, the external hard drive starts spinning and the output of ls is blocked until some data (don't know what) is read from the disk (I suppose, since the spinning). I was wondering the reason for which it happens. It doesn't seem to be necessary to load anything from the external hard drive just to show the symlink (cding into the symlink and then ls is another thing, though it's not what I'm referring to here). So why does this happen? Thanks in advance  |
| Device-Specific Behaviors in PulseAudio Posted: 04 Jul 2021 09:24 AM PDT I'm running PulseAudio on Xubuntu 20.04. I have three audio devices that we'll just call Device A, Device B, and Device C. All three have a mic and an audio out option, and they all show up correctly under Input Devices and Output Devices when plugged in. However, I would like PulseAudio to switch to some devices but not others when they're plugged in. Essentially, here's what I'm looking for: - Device A gets plugged in -> PulseAudio automatically switches to it for both Input and Output Devices.
- Device B gets plugged in -> PulseAudio lists it but does not switch to it
- Device C gets plugged in -> PulseAudio automatically switches to it for the Output Device but not the Input Device.
Is there a way to accomplish what I want? It seems like the only options under PulseAudio are to always switch to a new device when plugged in or never switch to it, and I want something in between. EDIT: If I set a default device in PulseAudio, is it possible to then tell PulseAudio "switch to the default device when it's plugged in, but don't switch away when something else is plugged in afterward"?  |

| How to make the Python3 interpreter faster or the fastest possible? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 09:26 AM PDT As the title says, how to make the python3 interpreter which executes python programs; faster or even the fastest possible using the vanilla CPython versions available at www.python.org; in any linux distribution? Is there a way to make it even faster than the default "--enable-optimizations" compiler flag? Which compiler to use to achieve the goal? What supportive benchmarks to corroborate assertions on compiler choice?  |
| ssh jump host option for some reason does not work Posted: 04 Jul 2021 05:54 AM PDT I'm trying to utilize ssh's jump host option but for some reason it does not work, I get: user@user-notebook /e/ssh [255]> ssh -J user1@host1 user2@target kex_exchange_identification: banner line contains invalid characters banner exchange: Connection to UNKNOWN port 65535: invalid format user@user-notebook /e/ssh [1|1]> ssh -J user1@host1:22 user2@target:22 channel 0: open failed: connect failed: Name or service not known stdio forwarding failed kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host Connection closed by UNKNOWN port 65535
and I'm wondering why, I can login over ssh from user-notebook to host1 and then from host1 to target just fine. I have all keys setup too. I'm puzzled, what am I missing? After adding -v, I can observe the following: debug1: kex_exchange_identification: banner line 39: \033[?25h\033[?7hSSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.6p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.3 kex_exchange_identification: banner line contains invalid characters banner exchange: Connection to UNKNOWN port 65535: invalid format debug1: channel 0: free: direct-tcpip: listening port 0 for target port 22, connect from 127.0.0.1 port 65535 to UNKNOWN port 65536, nchannels 1 debug1: fd 0 clearing O_NONBLOCK Killed by signal 1.
Note that I can connect fine to target with ssh -J user1@host1 user2@target from other hosts on the LAN but only this one doesn't seem to be able to connect. When I change the line to ssh -J user1@host1:22 user2@target:22 -v, I get the following: debug1: client_input_hostkeys: no new or deprecated keys from server debug1: Remote: /home/user1/.ssh/authorized_keys:3: key options: agent-forwarding port-forwarding pty user-rc x11-forwarding debug1: Remote: /home/user1/.ssh/authorized_keys:3: key options: agent-forwarding port-forwarding pty user-rc x11-forwarding channel 0: open failed: connect failed: Name or service not known stdio forwarding failed kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host Connection closed by UNKNOWN port 65535
What is it trying to do with port 65535? I also ssh-ed to host1 and did a: netcat target 22 SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.6p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.3

| Trick a window that it has focus in kde Posted: 04 Jul 2021 07:54 AM PDT Is it possible to make a window believe that it has a focus while it has not? My use case description: I am playing a game named Detroit Become Human. I am playing with gamepad. The game is actually an interactive movie. It has a very complicated flowcharts. I want to see other scenes that I missed after my original walkthrough. I am reading the walkthrough guide in a browser and switching to game very often and want to see flowchart in a game. Because the flowcharts are very complicated, I need to keep lots of tabs in browser, constantly scroll pages up and down trying to read descriptions for some nodes. And I get really annoyed that I constantly need to refocus a game itself to be able to control it (even with gamepad) and press alt+tab to release mouse from the game. Also, the game makes me rewatching lots of scenes that I already have seen and I want to do some other readings while such scenes are playing. Also, there are scenes with minor interactions, but still I need to focus a game window for them. I wanted to make it easier. I want the game to be controllable by gamepad while its window not in focus. I thought that I need to capture a gamepad input and redirect it to inactive window. And that thing was what I wanted originally to ask. However, I have noticed, that chromium while not in focus is still able to see the gamepad input by using this web site: https://gamepad-tester.com/. This means (as I think) that all windows have access to the gamepad input. Now I think that the problem is the game itself. I think it checks if it is in focus, and if not, it do not interprets the input. I want the game to always interpret gamepad, even when missing focus. Is that possible? My system details:
Arch Linux.
Game launched via steam.
Tried with Steam Input and without it.
KDE Plasma.
Logitech F710 Gamepad in XInput mode.
The game launched in borderless window mode, also tried fullscreen and windowed. Additional info.
This trick may be useful not only for games (which often pauses when not in focus), but also for applications. For example, DaVinci Resolve hides a window with effects parameters. I am watching a tutorial video on youtube in browser. When I focus a browser, I cannot see my parameters window to compare it with such on a youtube. Tricking the DaVinci Resolve that it has focus (while still disabling keyboard input for it) may solve this.  |

| Can't set mp3 sample rate to 44.1k using sox Posted: 04 Jul 2021 10:01 AM PDT I am trying to overlay two files (merge them into one so they plat simultaneously). The options for sox --combine are sequence, concatenate, mix, mix-power, merge, and multiply. I've looked at the docs here and it's not entirely evident which I should use. sequence and concatenate do work when they have different sample rates but it does not overlay them. I am trying to use mix, but it's not allowing me to set the sample rate to 41k (which from my understanding is the correct one for mp3): To precaution against different sample rates, I'm looping through the input files and setting all their sample rates to 41k. I have the following code to do this: sox -r 44.1k input1.mp3 output1.mp3 sox -r 44.1k input2.mp3 output2.mp3
I get this (it differs between files) sox WARN formats: can't set sample rate 44100; using 24000 sox WARN formats: can't set sample rate 44100; using 48000
Then when I try and overlay them using the following command: sox --combine mix output1.mp3 output2.mp3 output3.mp3
I see this: sox FAIL sox: Input files must have the same sample-rate
I am on Ubuntu 16.04. As a workaround I'm using the ffmpeg command shown here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14498539/how-to-overlay-two-audio-files-using-ffmpeg This is actually fine for me and gets the job done though I would be curious to know why the sox didn't work.  |

| I want to see the list of all dbus interfaces with a command in terminal .h Posted: 04 Jul 2021 08:00 AM PDT I know how to get the list of all services in dbus but then I want to see the list of interfaces inside each service. dbus-send --session \ --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus \ --type=method_call \ --print-reply \ /org/freedesktop/DBus \ org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames
This gives a list of all available services.  |
| Is there a more elegant way to unlink two tmux clients sharing a session from inside tmux? Posted: 04 Jul 2021 05:04 AM PDT This is almost a code-review question, but very *nixy and more about configuration than code. For years since I switched to tmux from screen I've had a couple of nagging issues that I could not make work the way I wanted them to. Since I setup my shell to exec into a tmux session I finally decided it was time to fix this one. By default when you attach two tmux clients to the same session, they are locked together. Switch panes in one and both switch in sync. This is different from screen where the default behavior was a shared set of panes but the client itself was independent. What I've wanted was a way to un-bind two tmux clients attached to the same session. This is easy enough to do if you are outside of tmux and launching a new client. Just start a new session with a reference to the parent one: tmux new-session -t original_session -s new_session
However try do do this after you are in a client and want to unlink it from whatever other client is sharing that session and things get more complicated. I tried dozens of ways and never hit on one that worked well. The closest I got was using bind <key> prompt-command ... to prompt for both the old and new session names. For whatever reason tmux does not expand the #{session_name} variable inside arguments for a new-session or prompt-command. It does in arguments to many other commands (e.g. I use it in run below) but without that expansion this particular task becomes suddenly complicated. Even with manually entering the values, it only ever sorta worked. Today I finally got it to work. The result, however, is uglier that I would have liked. It requires a shell function to do most of the magic. In order to contain this to just the config file without involving external scripts (for dotfile portability) I'm using a hack. The config, if you crop off the first two columns, is actually executable as a shell script. With everything wrapped in functions, you can call just the part of the script you need from any keybinding. The shell script bits are comments in the config, while in shell script made the config bit is discarded with a here-doc. Todays solution came out something like this (my full .tmux.conf file): # : << ENDOFCONF # Clear the default binding unbind C-c # Pass the name of the current session to a function to clone it bind C-c run "cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf | sh -s clone #S" # ENDOFCONF # clone () { # orig=${1%-*} # copy="$orig-$(($( tmux list-sessions -F '#S' | sed -nE "/^${orig}-[0-9]+$/{s/[^0-9]//g;p}" | tail -n1 )+1))" # TMUX= tmux new-session -d -t $orig -s $copy # tmux switch-client -t $copy # tmux set -q -t $copy destroy-unattached on # } # $@
Mind you this works. From a running tmux client, Ctrl+B Ctrl+C creates a new session with a number appended to the name of the current one, uses the current one as a target for the panes, and switches to it. I'm happy with this except for the nagging idea that I've just made something simple much more complex than it needs to be. Is there a simpler way to achieve this?  |
| PulseAudio cannot open shared library Posted: 04 Jul 2021 07:25 AM PDT I'm running Debian wheezy (x86) with GNOME on a Intel Core i7 machine. I'm having problems getting PulseAudio to work properly. Since GNOME 3 automatically installs PulseAudio I'm pretty much stuck with it. When running ALSA mixer from the console, I get the following error message: ALSA lib conf.c:3314:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so ALSA lib control.c:951:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
The shared library does in fact exist (/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so). I've done extensive googling on the issue and came up with no solution that actually works. One of the suggestions was to place the file in an alternative location, but this made no difference. In addition, many programs that actually attempt to use PulseAudio fail to start. Another error message I've seen is: mybox:/# pulseaudio pulseaudio: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1: undefined symbol: vorbis_version_string
ALSA works just fine, but I actually have to deinstall PulseAudio before I can use the mixer to set the volume, after which I can reinstall it. Then, some software that I can force to use ALSA (like XBMC) will work. The system contains both onboard Intel audio and nVidia HDMI sound drivers. I'm mostly interested in sound over HDMI right now if that matters: mybox:/# aplay -L null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) pulse PulseAudio Sound Server default:CARD=Intel HDA Intel, ALC887 Analog Default Audio Device sysdefault:CARD=Intel HDA Intel, ALC887 Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC887 Analog Front speakers surround40:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC887 Analog 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC887 Analog 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC887 Analog 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC887 Analog 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC887 Analog 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC887 Digital IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0 HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1 HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=2 HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3 HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output
I'm now completely at a loss what is wrong with my system. I haven't even messed with any of the settings yet, but I tried purging all the configuration and reinstalling just to be sure. To me, these error messages look like the packages are broken, but it's been like this for weeks now and several new package versions have been released in the meantime.Does anyone have an idea what's wrong? Edit: Some extra information requested by Jan Marek: mybox:~# ldconfig -v | grep libasound ldconfig: Can't stat /lib/i486-linux-gnu: No such file or directory ldconfig: Can't stat /usr/lib/i486-linux-gnu: No such file or directory ldconfig: Path `/lib/i386-linux-gnu' given more than once ldconfig: Path `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu' given more than once libasound.so.2 -> libasound.so.2.0.0
It appears libasound_module_conf_pulse.so is not listed, even though the path /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu` is searched. More than once even, apparently? I'm not sure why that is, here is the relevant configuration: ## /etc/ld.so.conf: /usr/X11R6/lib include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf ## /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i486-linux-gnu.conf: # Multiarch support /lib/i386-linux-gnu /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu /lib/i486-linux-gnu /usr/lib/i486-linux-gnu ## /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf # libc default configuration /usr/local/lib
As for the strace, I'm not entirely sure what it's trying to tell me. 11655 open("/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so", O_RDONLY) = 3 11655 read(3, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0000\7\0\0004\0\0\0"..., 512) = 512 11655 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=4168, ...}) = 0 11655 mmap2(NULL, 7028, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0xb7785000 11655 mmap2(0xb7786000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0xb7786000 11655 close(3) = 0
I think that means that opening the file was successful, it read 512 bytes and then decided to close the file? I've added /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib to ld.so.conf which changes the behavior when I start alsamixer. With that line I get a segmentation fault instead. During the boot sequence I also used to get a bunch of these pulseaudio errors, so I will try rebooting when I get home (service alsasound restart had no effect)  |
