I want to create a new Laravel 8 project and I followed the documentation with docker and Sail on Windows: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x#getting-started-on-windows
After I installed everything, I tried executing the command to create the project:
curl -s https://laravel.build/example-app | bash
It asked me for my password. I entered it and pressed enter, but nothing happened. When I press CTRL+C, I can see that it tried to execute my password as a command.
run it in WSL command line, not in windows command prompt.
it must work
First of all you should create a folder called projects inside your home directory, then, go into that folder and execute sudo curl -s https://laravel.build/example-app | bash
You could also do sudo su and then curl -s https://laravel.build/example-app | bash
Install Windows Terminal. Open it with your Linux distribution. And try again.

When using the db2setup (Wizard) to install a new version of DB2 V10.5.0.3 (or the universal fixpack V10.5.7) the installer appears to hang near the end of the Create DB2 Administration task. There is a das directory created in the /home/dasusrX directory but it has no visible files. The logs show no errors. Manually trying to create the DAS also hangs using dascrt -u dasusrX
In the console where I launched the db2setup I found I needed to enter the dasusrX password a couple of times. There is no prompt displayed. I believe the system also hangs during the Configuring DB2 instances task and luckily I used the same password for other users so I entered it there as well to complete the install.
I figured this out running the dascrt -d -u dasusrX and saw it hung at the su dasusrX -c /bin/pwd command and when I tried that command manually, it propmted for the dasusrX password. This may be a unique situation for our server set up as root is accessible only via sudo -i so perhaps in other situations there would be no prompt for dasusrX password when using su as root.
this is what I am doing:
Creating a new server on Linode. OS is centos 6.5
Logging in as root
running the following script to add a user called shortfellow which does not have a password.
The script is:
#!/bin/bash
yum -y update
adduser shortfellow
mkdir -p /home/shortfellow/.ssh
echo "ssh-rsa REALLYLONGSSHPUBLICKEY shortfellow#example.io" >> /home/shortfellow/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod -R 700 /home/shortfellow/.ssh
chown -R shortfellow:shortfellow /home/shortfellow/.ssh
su - shortfellow
exit
The problem is that first time when I try to ssh into the system. It does not work at all. It simply asks for the password. I hit ctrl + c and try to ssh again as the same user, it works.
this behaviour is really annoying because I am writing code to create the server programmatically and it does not work because of this silly issue.
Does anyone have any idea why this might not be working as expected?
I did /sbin/mkhomedir_helper shortfellow in the script before the exit and it works correctly after that.
I guess the issue was really that the home directory for a user is created only at login and when I tried to programmatically create this user this would not happen for some reason.
I have installed several times the package GI-1.9.4-preview20140611.exe on my Windows 8. When I try to open the git bash command window, the window opens, but it is empty, no showing the usual welcome message and the git prompt.
I have tried changing the command for the sh.exe file, which usually has the format
"sh.exe --login -i" into just "sh.exe". The shell opens then, the PS1 variable shows only the sh.exe file name and version, nothing more. Is there something wrong with my installation?
Thanks!
Your installation is fine.
The git executable(sh.exe) for Command Line Tool is a script that in order to work will be based on the your windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe)
You will need the following string to refer to Git correctly as an executable:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i"
Or you can always 'right-click' and SELECT 'Git Bash Here' or 'Git GUI Here'
Using the GUI putty.exe, I can connect to my windows server and once it is connected, i can type any command like rename file or mkdir folder and they all work
However, using command line such as
putty -load test -m C:\users\test.txt
or using the GUI putty, but add 1 command to remote command in SSH under Connection, then the command doesn't get executed.
Can anyone explain to me why this is happening or how can i fix this? I am using FreeSSHd on windows 2008 server.
Not sure if this helps, but try adding the /bin/bash directly after your command in the text file. It will keep the window open and you can see what the output of the shell would be if you ran it from the gui.
; /bin/bash
For example if test.txt is running a script
bash myscript.sh
bash myscript.sh; /bin/bash
This is assuming bash.
I have a script that must execute a command with root privileges, however I want the script to prompt for the sudo password in a graphical window, not in the terminal. Is this possible?
Try gksu if you use gnome in any Linux flavor.
