I need help with installing Solaris Studio 12.2 on Ubuntu.
I looked at this question already and it didn't help: Installing Solaris Studio 12.2?
My problem with the solutions provided in that question is that I do not have a script to run when I extract the file I downloaded: SolarisStudio12.2-linux-x86-tar-ML.tar.bz2
To extract it I am just using the Ubuntu GUI, archive manager.
Could this be my problem?
Also I already posted this on askUbuntu: Got no response.
There is no installation script to run with the tarfile distribution. You just extract the archive somewhere and that's it, Solaris Studio is installed and ready to use. You just need to add its bin directory to your PATH.
I'm not familiar with Ubuntu GUI archive manager so here is how I proceed:
$ bunzip2 < SolarisStudio12.2-linux-x86-tar-ML.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
$ PATH=$PWD/SolarisStudio12.2-linux-x86-tar-ML/solstudio12.2/bin cc -V
cc: Sun C 5.11 Linux_i386 2010/08/13
usage: cc [ options ] files. Use 'cc -flags' for details

I'm trying to use nvim (or vim) to edit a file on a remote machine from my Ubuntu 20.04 host like this:
$ nvim scp://developer#devvm//home/developer/junk
From what I understand remote editing is handled by the netrw plugin.
I installed nvim my Ubuntu machine via snap because the apt-get version is very old.
When I start nvim, the netrw plugin is not loaded. The only reference to it that I found was in /snap/nvim/2789/usr/share/nvim/runtime/ and its subdirectories so I added that directory to the 'set runtimepath' command in my ~/.config/nvim/init.vim file. After that, ':help netrw' works but when I try the remote edit it just says:
:!scp -q 'developer#devvm:/home/developer/junk' '/tmp/nvim.developer/gqbnmh/1'
shell returned 1
and I don't see the file contents.
I also tried to put the set runtimepath in my ~/.vimrc instead and run /usr/bin/vi but then I get all kinds of "command is not available in this version" errors.
$ which nvim
/snap/bin/nvim
$ nvim -version | head -1
NVIM v0.8.2
$ which vi
/usr/bin/vi
$ vi --version | head -1
VIM - Vi IMproved 8.1 (2018 May 18, compiled Jan 11 2023 23:54:11)
Any help is appreciated.
I try to install dropbox on Centos8, however Terminal gives strange errors. Tried different commands, same error.
Firstly downloaded *.rpm file from dropbox website, currently trying to install it.
Commands I tried:
rpm -ivh nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.fedora.x86_64.rpm
yum localinstall nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.fedora.x86_64.rpm
Error:

Error:
Problem: conflicting requests

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
[root#localhost Downloads]
Also tried --skip-broken and --nobest - but no luck.
Also tried sudo yum install libgnome but it gives error:
Last metadata expiration check: 9:51:39 ago on Thu 12 Mar 2020 02:42:06 PM UTC.
No match for argument: libgnome
Error: Unable to find a match: libgnome
I have:
[adminuser#localhost ~]$ cat /etc/centos-release

Tried to google this mistake, but no luck. Could you please give me any hint how I could overcome this?
Thank you
This is a bug in packaging. Contact Dropbox support and report it as a bug.
Technical details (just in case you are Dropbox employee):
During building rpm, when you use macro then it is expanded. Try yoursel:
$ rpm --eval '%{_bindir}'
/usr/bin
However, when the macro is not defined, you get original value:
$ rpm --eval '%{some_bullshit}'
%{some_bullshit}
So the macro gnome_version should likely contain some version, but this macro was not defined.
nothing provides libgnome
"libgnome" is about libgnome-2 → https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/ → I.e. Fedora only packages. CentOS 8 has no libgnome* available.
https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux → Compile from source → CentOS 8
# dnf install nautilus-devel-3.28.1-10.el8.x86_64 python3-docutils
tar xvf nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04.tar.bz2
cd nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04/
./configure && make
# make install
Result : nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.el8.x86_64.rpm https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AcxlVdbWOzQvcoVOFYCiaVny9MzgC-Ea/view?usp=sharing
# rpm -Uvh nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.el8.x86_64.rpm : No issues.
First, realize that the command showing at the install page is for the headless installation. It will probably work, but my preference is to use Dropbox with nautilus integration.
This instructions assumes a installation of Dropbox with Nautilus integration.
We need to compile the installer from source.
a. Download last package
wget https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04.tar.bz2
b. Extract tarball
tar xjf ./nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04.tar.bz2
c. Try to compile
cd nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04; ./configure;
Then you get an Error:
Erro:
Problema: conflicting requests
- nothing provides libgnome >= %{gnome_version} needed by nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04-1.fc21.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
Now we need to install nautilus-devel and python3-docutils
NOTE: You will get configure: error: couldn't find docutils if forget python3-docutils.
This command will enable the PowerTools repository and install what is needed:
dnf --enablerepo=PowerTools install nautilus-devel python3-docutils
Now you can run ./configure && sudo make install
That's it. Go for the start menu type "Dropbox", it will start the installer.
Restore a local backup of Dropbox (optional)
If you have a local backup, turn of the network after you see the Dropbox folder created. Then copy all your files to that folder and turn it on after copy.
This solution worked for me running CentOS Linux release 8.2.2004 (Core).
I just install rabbitmq-3.7.8 on my FreeBsd mashine.
But if I run rabbitmqctl start, then getting error is
Shared object "libdl.so.1" not found, required by "beam.smp"
uname -v
FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p4 #0: Tue Nov 14 06:12:40 UTC 2017
What is that mean?
Thanks for any answer!
You are using 11.1 which is discontinued. I strongly recommended that you upgrade to 11.2.
freebsd-update upgrade -r 11.2-RELEASE
freebsd-update install
reboot
freebsd-update install
Check again your OS version.
uname -r
It should return 11.2-RELEASE
pkg update -f
pkg upgrade -f
All your packages will be reinstalled, then check again if rabbitmqctl starts.
11.1 went End-of-Life slightly less than two months before your post.
If you're not ready to upgrade yet, but have access to a machine running 11.2, you can probably copy /usr/lib/libdl.so.1 from the newer machine into /usr/lib on the older machine, and limp along like that until you're ready to upgrade.
Is it possible to generate a .hex file with MicroPython and my own python program code at a Linux command line, rather than in one of the editors?
Looking at the tag in your question, it looks like you want to use MicroPython on the BBC micro:bit, correct?
If that's the case then youu can use this Python command line tool: https://github.com/ntoll/uflash/
Instructions on how to install it and use it can be found in the README at that link.
This works with Python 2 and 3, and your Linux distribution is very likely to have at least one Python version available out-of-the-box.
If you have pip installed you can easily install it with: pip install uflash
But you can also download the source code, using git or downloading a zip file from GitHub (https://github.com/ntoll/uflash/archive/master.zip), and run it without installing anything. In this case you can execute the uFlash script with Python:
python uflash.py path_to_your_code.py
And the current version of uFlash includes the latest version of MicroPython for the micro:bit.
You can write the micropython code for the microbit in any text editor, such as vscode or vim. Save it as a .py file.
To create the .hex file, use the py2exe tool that is installed along with uflash when you install uflash using the command:
pip install uflash
To create a .hex file for a microbit micropython file called hello.py:
py2hex hello.py
This creates a file called hello.hex. This can be dragged and dropped onto your connected microbit through the file explorer. I use Nautilus and the microbit appears as 'MICROBIT'.
You can automate the creation and loading of the .hex file to the microbit using uflash, e.g.
uflash hello.py
This will create the .hex file and then load it onto an attached microbit. The .hex file will not be left on your file system though. The microbit has a habit of no longer being attached to the file system after loading a .hex file and needs to be re-attached in between builds.
Working Ubuntu 22.04 host CLI setup with Carlos Atencio's Docker to build your own firmware
After trying to setup the toolchain for a while, I finally decided to Google for a Docker image with the toolchain, and found https://github.com/carlosperate/docker-microbit-toolchain at this commit from Carlos Atencio, a Micro:Bit foundation employee, and that just absolutely worked:
# Get examples.
git clone https://github.com/bbcmicrobit/micropython
cd micropython
git checkout 7fc33d13b31a915cbe90dc5d515c6337b5fa1660
# Get Docker image.
docker pull ghcr.io/carlosperate/microbit-toolchain:latest
# Build setup to be run once.
docker run -v $(pwd):/home --rm ghcr.io/carlosperate/microbit-toolchain:latest yt target bbc-microbit-classic-gcc-nosd#https://github.com/lancaster-university/yotta-target-bbc-microbit-classic-gcc-nosd
docker run -v $(pwd):/home --rm ghcr.io/carlosperate/microbit-toolchain:latest make all
sudo chmod -R +666 .
# Build one example.
tools/makecombinedhex.py build/firmware.hex examples/counter.py -o build/counter.hex
# Build all examples.
for f in examples/*; do b="$(basename "$f")"; echo $b; tools/makecombinedhex.py build/firmware.hex "$f" -o "build/${b%.py}.hex"; done
And you can then flash the example you want to run with:
cp build/counter.hex "/media/$USER/MICROBIT/"
What uflash does it to ship its own precompiled firmware.hex which is the part that requires the toolchain, and it then just uses that to build the combined hex in Python.
The cool thing is that now that we have the toolchain, we can also create examples directy in C/C++/assembly: How to compile C/C++ code into a .hex file for the BBC micro:bit? which can likely run much faster.
Previous failed attempts at setting it up myself
The Yotta package manager used by BBC Microbit bit rot almost immediately after it got was discontinued, making pip install yota approaches like: https://flames-of-code.netlify.app/blog/microbit-cpp-1/ very difficult.
The GCC gcc-arm-embedded toolchain PPA ppa:team-gcc-arm-embedded/ppa has also been discontinued: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1243252/how-to-install-arm-none-eabi-gdb-on-ubuntu-20-04-lts-focal-fossa and now you would have to download from an arm.com website.
Atencios' Docker setup explains how to do it though: https://github.com/carlosperate/docker-microbit-toolchain/blob/master/Dockerfile , the key is likely using his magically crafted requirements.txt, likely kept back from the day when things really worked, to avoid the infinitely many dependency issues of yotta. He's on Ubuntu 20.04.
I have tried in all ways to get wkhtmltopdf installed on our web server but unfortunately it is not getting installed. I cannot access user/bin folder as stated in a tutorial on installation.
On the server in public_html folder there is a sub folder _vti_bin, I copied the file wkhtmltopdf-i386 from wkhtmltopdf-0.9.1-static-i386, but I am not able to execute it.
How to install wkhtmltopdf on (shared hosting) web server and get it working?
I've managed to successfully install wkhtmltopdf-amd64 on my shared hosting account without root access.
Here's what i did:
Downloaded the relevant static binary v0.10.0 from here: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/list
EDIT: The above has moved to here
via ssh on my shared host typed the following:
$ wget {relavant url to binary from link above}
$ tar -xvf {filename of above wget'd file}
you'll then have the binary on your host and will be able to run it regardless of if its in the /usr/bin/ folder or not. (or at least i was able to)
To test:
$ ./wkhtmltopdf-amd64 http://www.example.com example.pdf
Note remember that if you're in the folder in which the executable is, you should probably preface it with ./ just to be sure.
Worked for me anyway
If you have sudo access...
Ubuntu 14.04 / 15.04 / 18.04:
sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
# or
sudo apt install wkhtmltopdf
Others
Look at the other answers.
If its ubuntu then go ahead with this, already tested.:--
first, installing dependencies
sudo aptitude install openssl build-essential xorg libssl-dev
for 64bits OS
wget http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2
tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2
mv wkhtmltopdf-amd64 /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
for 32bits OS
wget http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2
tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2
mv wkhtmltopdf-i386 /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
Debian 8 Jessie
This works
sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
Chances are that without full access to this server (due to being a hosted account) you are going to have problems. I would go so far as to say that I think it is a fruitless endeavor--they have to lock servers down in hosted environments for good reason.
Call your hosting company and make the request to them to install it, but don't expect a good response--they typically won't install very custom items for single users unless there is a really good reason (bug fixes for example).
Lastly, depending on how familiar you are with server administration and what you are paying for server hosting now consider something like http://www.slicehost.com. $20 a month will get you a low grade web server (256 ram) and you can install anything you want. However, if you are running multiple sites or have heavy load the cost will go up as you need larger servers.
GL!
Latest update for CentOS:
sudo yum install -y libpng libjpeg openssl icu libX11 libXext libXrender xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi
wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
tar -xvf wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar
sudo mv wkhtmltox/bin/* /usr/local/bin/
check installation success: wkhtmltopdf -V
rm -rf wkhtmltox
rm -f wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar
Place the wkhtmltopdf executable on the server and chmod it +x.
Create an executable shell script wrap.sh containing:
#!/bin/sh
export HOME="$PWD"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PWD/lib/"
exec $# 2>/dev/null
#exec $# 2>&1 # debug mode
Download needed shared objects for that architecture and place them an a folder named "lib":
lib/libfontconfig.so.1
lib/libfontconfig.so.1.3.0
lib/libfreetype.so.6
lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.18
lib/libX11.so.6 lib/libX11.so.6.2.0
lib/libXau.so.6 lib/libXau.so.6.0.0
lib/libxcb.so.1 lib/libxcb.so.1.0.0
lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0
lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0
lib/libXdmcp.so.6
lib/libXdmcp.so.6.0.0
lib/libXext.so.6 lib/libXext.so.6.4.0
(some of them are symlinks)
… and you're ready to go:
./wrap.sh ./wkhtmltopdf-amd64 --page-size A4 --disable-internal-links --disable-external-links "http://www.example.site/" out.pdf
If you experience font problems like squares for all the characters, define TrueType fonts explicitly:
#font-face {
font-family:Trebuchet MS;
font-style:normal;
font-weight:normal;
src:url("http://www.yourserver.tld/fonts/Trebuchet_MS.ttf");
format(TrueType);
}
List of stable versions wkhtmltopdf: http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html
Installing wkhtmltopdf on Debian 8.2 (jessie) x64:
sudo apt-get install xfonts-75dpi
sudo apt-get install xfonts-base
sudo wget http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.2.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-jessie-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-jessie-amd64.deb
Shared hosting no ssh or shell access?
Here is how i did it;
Visit https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html and download the appropriate stable release for Linux. For my case I chose 32-bit
which is wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-i386.tar.xz
Unzip to a folder on your local drive.
Upload the folder to public_html (or whichever location fits your need) using an FTP program just like any other file(s)
Change the binary paths in snappy.php file to point the appropriate files in the folder you just uploaded.
Bingo! there you have it. You should be able to generate PDF files.
A few things have changed since the top answers were added. They used to work out for me, but not quite anymore, so I have been hacking around for a bit and came up with the following solution for Ubuntu 16.04. For Ubuntu 14.04, see the comment at the bottom of the answer. Apologies if this doesn't work for shared hosting, but it seems like this is the goto answer for wkhtmltopdf installation instructions in general.
# Install dependencies
apt-get install libfontconfig \
zlib1g \
libfreetype6 \
libxrender1 \
libxext6 \
libx11-6
# TEMPORARY FIX! SEE: https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/issues/3001
apt-get install libssl1.0.0=1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.8
apt-get install libssl-dev=1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.8
# Download, extract and move binary in place
curl -L -o wkhtmltopdf.tar.xz https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
tar -xf wkhtmltopdf.tar.xz
mv wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
Test it out:
wkhtmltopdf http://www.google.com google.pdf
You should now have a file named google.pdf in the current working directory.
This approach downloads the binary from the website, meaning that you can use the latest version instead of relying on package managers to be updated.
Note that as of today, my solution includes a temporary fix to this bug. I realize that the solution is really not great, but hopefully it can be removed soon. Be sure to check the status of the linked GitHub issue to see if the fix is still necessary when you read this answer!
For Ubuntu 14.04, you will need to downgrade to a different version of libssl. You can find the versions here. Anyways, be sure to consider the implications of downgrading libssl before doing so on any production server.
I hope this helps someone!
After trying, below command work for me
cd ~
yum install -y xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 openssl git-core fontconfig
wget https://downloads.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
tar xvf wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
mv wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmlto* /usr/bin
Version 12.5 of wkhtmltopdf only lists DEB files on their download page now. Being a mac user and not knowing much linux or what DEB files were I couldn't use the solutions posted.
This page helped me get past the knew twist of downloading a DEB file: http://www.g-loaded.eu/2008/01/28/how-to-extract-rpm-or-deb-packages/
Basically what I did was:
Downloaded from https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html
Unzipped the DEB file.
Unzipped data.tar.xz
Uploaded the binary in the unzipped 'usr' folder from step 3 (usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf)
Then I found out that the 'exec' function was disabled on my host. So make sure you can specifically run 'exec' if you're using PHP to run this. "Can I run the wkhtmltopdf binary" isn't specific enough. My fault.
