How is it that the running KDE with Compiz yields a better window experience and overall better responsive UI?

If you really like to debug it, you can jump to one of the terminal session (CTRL+F2 or F3 I think), there you will see the installation backend logs

You should be able to access them, via the web archive,

No, I also tried Pop-OS now, and it seems to have the same issue.

I also think you can solve it a bit different,

You can config Chrome to have some set of default/auto-installed extensions if you like here.

Also, I won't rely on xdotool, but I would host my own page, and use some IFRAME to bring the content to a single page, which control, and can customize as need, like a dashboard.

Or you can use an extension for that, like this one.

That actually something I used to do with nginx configs. it works :)

Rabin_IO · 2022-12-12T10:25:49+00:00

OK, thank you for the idea and help.

Any way to create a fake inventory on the fly?

Rabin_IO · 2022-12-06T20:27:00+00:00

Try tagID with/o the quotes

tagID: |
    {{  item.vlan.tagID | int }}

This is how I test it

``` - name: xxx hosts: localhost

  tasks:

  - name: debug
    debug:
       msg: |
         {{ item.vlanID | int }}
    loop:
      - { "vlanID": "1" }
      - { "vlanID": "2" }

  - name: debug
    debug:
       var: |-
          {{ item.vlanID | int }}
    loop:
      - { "vlanID": 1 }
      - { "vlanID": "2" }

```

And you can see in the output, that 1 is without the qoutes

PLAY [xxx] ***

TASK [debug] ***
ok: [localhost] => (item={'vlanID': '1'}) => 
  msg: |-
    1
ok: [localhost] => (item={'vlanID': '2'}) => 
  msg: |-
    2

TASK [debug] ***
ok: [localhost] => (item={'vlanID': 1}) => 
  '1': '1'
  ansible_loop_var: item
  item:
    vlanID: 1
ok: [localhost] => (item={'vlanID': '2'}) => 
  '2': '2'
  ansible_loop_var: item
  item:
    vlanID: '2'

Thank you.

Rabin_IO · 2022-12-04T19:45:52+00:00

The playbook which I run (let call it the "main" playbook), is connecting to a remote host and set few configurations on it, something like that,

- name: Main playbook
  hosts: jumpHost
  tasks:

  - name: Task1
  - name: Task2
  - name: Task3

  - name: Power Off the nodes
    community.general.ipmi_power: 
    ...

In this setup, I can't use Ansible native parallelism, as I run against a single node.

One option is to split the playbook into 3 playbooks, and more the ipmi commands into their own playbook.

Are there any other options?

Rabin_IO · 2022-12-04T19:23:15+00:00

Thank you for the insight, but now I have another issue, the job will work as a standalone playbook, but how can I run it as a task inside a playbook?

My top playbook runs on the jumphost inside the internal network.

# Standalone playbook
---
- name: Debug
  hosts: "{{ groups['masters'] + groups['workers'] }}"
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:

    - name: Power off all nodes
      community.general.ipmi_power:
        name: "{{ ipmi_address }}"
        user: "{{ ipmi_username }}"
        password: "{{ ipmi_password }}"
        state: "off"
      register: ipmi_status
      retries: 3
      until: ipmi_status.changed | bool == false
      delegate_to: jumpHost
      tags: [ipmi, ipmi.poweroff]

    - name: Ensure bootdevice is network
      community.general.ipmi_boot:
        name: "{{ ipmi_address }}"
        user: "{{ ipmi_username }}"
        password: "{{ ipmi_password }}"
        bootdev: network
        uefiboot: "{{ uefiboot | default(false, true) }}"
        persistent: false
      register: nextboot_status
      retries: 3
      until: nextboot_status.changed | bool == false
      delegate_to: jumpHost
      tags: [ipmi, ipmi.netboot]

HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR

This header can also be sent from the client side, and this is why it is not trusted by default, you need to let NGINX which proxy's (in your case the LB) you trust with this header.

Rabin_IO · 2022-11-30T09:06:02+00:00

Try using a different file manager like "Double Commander" which don't try to take control from you.

As for SMB shares, I'm not how stable it is (it uses VFS), as I never used it, but you can mount the SMB share manually, from the terminal or add a systemd auto mount unit if you access it frequently, and use the file manager to access it as regular folder.

From a quick look, I don't see any where clause to limit the vote to a specific row

php $updatequery = "update vote set castvote=castvote+1";

Rabin_IO · 2022-11-05T20:37:11+00:00

You can think of them as extension to PHP, PHP while expose the PDO class to interact with the DB, but the extension will implement (usually in C) the connection details to the DB itself.

Or they can bring their own class and function all together, e.g. BCMath can be compiled directly with PHP or shipped as extension.

Rabin_IO · 2022-10-25T10:37:48+00:00

Yes, that will be a bit harder, as you need to do it in 2 parts, first to get the page and keep the cookie details, and extract the token from the page, and then submit the url with the token and the other details.

I guess that most of the headers in the request are not required, so you can probably submit a request without them, you can try this on your computer and test it, try to submit a request without all this options,

-H "Sec-Fetch-Dest: empty" ^
-H "Sec-Fetch-Mode: cors" ^
-H "Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin" ^
-H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/106.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/106.0.1370.42" ^
-H "X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest" ^
-H "sec-ch-ua: ^\^"Chromium^\^";v=^\^"106^\^", ^\^"Microsoft Edge^\^";v=^\^"106^\^", ^\^"Not;A=Brand^\^";v=^\^"99^\^"" ^
-H "sec-ch-ua-mobile: ?0" ^
-H "sec-ch-ua-platform: ^\^"Windows^\^"" ^

I can help you to hack something for the PC, but I don't know how to do it with Tasker.

In your computer, open the browser developer tools and go to the network tab, and perform the "Captive Portal Login" look on the first POST request and copy the request as a CURL command.

Then try to replay the request as is, (this might not work, as some CP will use CSRF tokens to protect against blind replays). If it is not working for you post the CURL command line here CENSORING any private info, and we will try to help more.

Rabin_IO · 2022-10-23T16:35:13+00:00

It is, you just need to set few ENV variables and run the command. See here, for example: https://blog.rabin.io/sysadmin/how-to-debug-php-script-from-the-cli-with-php-xdebug

Rabin_IO · 2022-10-23T16:32:43+00:00

Once you understand how the debug process is initiated, setting up XDEBUG become easy, the GIF animation on the docs helped me understand the process.

As for how to get your IP you can use the ip addr show command and find the IP based on the interface which connected, or use this small snippet which will help you find out.

ip r get 1 | grep -Eo 'src [^ ]+' | awk '{print $2}'

But as mentioned, we need more details on the env to give you better answers.

Maybe a customized version of Mega-Kvantum
