how to use GNU stow
  • Thanks, very informative

    My problem was running stow --simulate -v 2, so output will be like linking all dir and files in package_name to target which was weird .stow-local-ignore

  • how to use GNU stow

    I've tried to stow dot files by following online blog/form, and it worked now, I tried to manage my $HOME/bin directory with stow, but it didn't

    $HOME/.dotfiles directory structure sh /home/USER/.dotfiles/ |-- bash | |-- .bash_aliases | |-- .bash_logout | `-- .bashrc |-- .git | |-- branches | |-- COMMIT_EDITMSG | |-- config | |-- description | |-- HEAD | |-- hooks | |-- index | |-- info | |-- logs | |-- objects | `-- refs |-- git | `-- .gitconfig |-- .gitignore |-- install.sh |-- Makefile |-- .stow-local-ignore |-- vim | `-- .vimrc `-- zsh

    $HOME/bin/src directory structure sh /home/USER/bin/ |-- src | |-- backup | | |-- backup | |-- clone | | `-- clone | |-- epub2html | | `-- epub2html | |-- gnome-nightlight | | `-- nightlight.sh | |-- list | | `-- list | |-- new | |-- pomorodo | | |-- notification.wav | | |-- old_pomo | | |-- pomorodo | | `-- test | |-- revoke_exec | | `-- revoke_exec | |-- rm_exec | | |-- rm_exec | | `-- tmp | |-- install Where is my mistake and thanks in advance.

    Question related to script distribution

    I am sorry and aware this is the wrong community. However, I am unable to find Ask Programmer.

    I wrote a small bash script, and I would like to share it on GitHub. However, to operate probably it requires dir with some files in user $HOME dir.

    The only solutions came to my mind were, tar the directory BUT is this pragmatic solution?

    I don't know who Wayland is
  • It seems an opportunity to ask my stupid questions.

    Q1. If I am going to build my minimum linux installation without a GUI, does this require a display manager?

    Q2. is there other way to interact with my machine other than tty

  • NOOB having hard time install virtualbox
  • thanks for your advice, i downloaded .deb package few months ago on another machine when i was on public wiif and now i am now metric connection if there no other option, or it will cause system instability i will download it from package manager

  • NOOB having hard time install virtualbox

    Hey guys, i a am using ParrotOS and trying to install virtualbox from .deb package and i got the following warning dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of virtualbox-7.0: virtualbox-7.0 depends on libc6 (>= 2.34); however: Version of libc6:amd64 on system is 2.31-13+deb11u6. virtualbox-7.0 depends on libssl3 (>= 3.0.0~~alpha1); however: Package libssl3 is not installed. virtualbox-7.0 depends on libstdc++6 (>= 12); however: Version of libstdc++6:amd64 on system is 11.2.0-18really16parrot1. virtualbox-7.0 depends on libvpx7 (>= 1.10.0); however: Package libvpx7 is not installed.

    but it seems like ParrotOS repo outdated so i add http://archive.ubuntu.com jammy main universe to /etc/apt/sources.list update repo list apt-get update and then obtain libc6 package information apt-cache policy libc6 libc6: Installed: 2.31-13+deb11u7 Candidate: 2.31-13+deb11u7 Version table: 2.35-0ubuntu3 50 50 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages *** 2.31-13+deb11u7 600 600 https://deb.parrot.sh/parrot lts/main amd64 Packages 600 https://deb.parrot.sh/parrot parrot/main amd64 Packages 600 https://deb.parrot.sh/direct/parrot parrot-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

    then install libc6 via sudo apt-get install libc6=2.35-0ubuntu3 BUT i got Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information...

    No match from simple regex in python

    hello guys. i am trying to match one or more digit from end of string ``` import re

    print(re.match(r'\d+$', "hello001")) print(re.match(r'[0-9]+$', "hello001")) ``` output None from both print statement. I've tried my regex on regex101.com and it seems working probably.

    Keyboard and touchpad not responding

    Hello guys, I'm using Parrot OS on an Asus G513. My problem is when I unintentionally adjust shortcuts (filled with Launcher1) automatically. However, this problem didn't catch my attention, when I used to boot live USB, after user space load any keystroke I press seems not working, from opening terminal to other shortcuts, however after like 5 min it will start to respond but each few key press screen brightness will get dimmer and dimmer, I thought it's problem with DE. now I just can press key combination (Alt + arrow) or (Mod + f) When I keep pressing return to delete, launcher1 eventually will get filled again before I realized it The only way I can adjust things now, via ssh

    additional notes

    1. I can type in my password normally on the lock screen

    2. I can't log in via tty. Even before this incident, this is what will happen when I try to log in hostname login: USER@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^ password:@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^ login inncorrect tty will keep printing @^ combination until i hit Ctrl + c

    Things I've tried: looking at /home/USER/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc, but there's no luck, and the last modification date is May 2

    Edit: add shortcut photo

    Update: I've managed to adjust the shortcut by holding "return + ctrl + alt + m" . But still, I can't figure out what causes rapid input.

    thanks in advance.

    Does the system become infected?

    If USB flash drive contain any of malware/virus/worm inserted to linux host without being mount (auto mount disabled), does malware/virus/worm will infect host
