Learn SQL Server Core 2016

LVL 13

This course will introduce you to SQL Server Core 2016, as well as teach you about SSMS, data tools, installation, server configuration, using Management Studio, and writing and executing queries.

I have two accounts with the same hosting provider. They allow SSH access. I created backup copies of websites on one account that I need to move to the other account.

I can move them individually, explicitly with "wget" but if I try to just pull all files from that one directory it fails.

Here is the command I am using, there are NO other sub-directories, just a bunch of files in one directory that I want to copy over from Account A to Account B.

wget -nc --level=1 --recursive --no-parent --accept jpa <url>/backups/

All I get when I run that command in the SSH portal is an "index.html" file and nothing more. No error, just that one file (which is then automatically removed because it is not on my accept list).

I see other people (in general) are having a similar issue on StackOverflow (for example).

Server restriction maybe? Problem with the command?

Thanks. :)

Hi there.

My brother got an issue with a Seagate Central network disk. The network part doesn't work anymore, and he wants to rescue the data and copy to a usb-disk/computer drive etc...
The challenge is that Seagate utilizes a file format related to Ubuntu/Linux. He tried to pull out the hard disk from the storage unit and hook up to a Windows computer via USB. That didn't work that well, because the 3TB drive apparently is formatted in like 500GB partitions with a Ubuntu/Linux format. That is not recognized by Windows.
So the task is how to move/copy data to a "normal" disk that will work with Windows.
I found a Gparted software that is supposed to do the trick, but we're a bit insecure about what to do and if this is the right procedure.
Did any of you out there try a similar task? We would prefer if it's possible to do the whole thing with a Windows based software.
Looking forward to your suggestions. :-)

Best regards

Ulrich

I created an Azure VM using the CIS Hardened Ubuntu image. When setting up the VM I chose to use a public/private key to access the VM. This was in April of this year. Now when I logon its telling me my password has expired but we never gave the user a password.

I'm guessing that this is due to the hardened CIS image and it wants us to change the password. However we dont know what the old password would be. Using the serial console in Azure I can create another admin user and i tried to use chage -d -1 <user> but that doesnt seem to work.

I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this issue or can help me find a way to remove the password expiration.

I'm having serious problems to make my kiosk printer (Nippon Primex NP-VK30) work correctly under Ubuntu 19.04.
The manufacturer provides no support for Ubuntu, but I've found on Github a very simple library made in Python.
I attached the Python files to this topic.

I tried to launch "test.py" and my printer worked fine!

Since I need to print some text strings from my C/C++ application, I would like to translate the python code into C/C++ code so I can easily import it in my original application.

Unfortunately, I'm just a beginner and I never coded in Python.
Can you help me, please?

Thank you!

This is the code for test.py:

#!/usr/bin/python
from w2k203dpi import Printer

p = Printer()

p.println('test')

p.bold(True)
p.println('test')
p.bold(False)

p.underline(True)
p.println('test')
p.underline(False)

p.qrcode('test')

p.fullcut()

Open in new window

This is the code for the class file:

class Printer:

    def __init__(self):
        DEVPATH = '/dev/usb/lp0'
        self.f = open(DEVPATH, 'w')
        self.mode = 0x00

    def raw(self, data):
        for i in data:
           self.f.write(i)
        self.f.flush()

    def esc(self, data):
        self.raw('\x1b' + data)

    def font(self, value):
        if value:
            self.mode |= (1 << 0)
        else:
            self.mode &= ~(1 << 0)
        self.esc('!' + chr(self.mode))

Hello!
I've found onine is pretty decent video tutorial about BASH. But it's dated around 2010. I think Ubuntu 10.10 or so... You think I can still learn today by using that old tutorial or there're changes in BASH in last years that render that course obsolete?

Hello!
I have Ubuntu 16.04 (Desktop Edition) with OpenVPN server and BIND9 installed. I used a script when I installed OpenVPN. My OpenVPN client is a W10 netbook with 4G USB modem.
When I choose to use Google DNS during OpenVPN installation then I can surf the Internet via OpenVPN just fine (on my OpenVPN client W10 machine). But if I choose to use a current DNS settings (ie. my own BIND9 server), then I can connect from client to server, but DNS doesn't work. I know that I must edit config file of OpenVPN server server.conf AND to also edit client.ovpn client's OpenVPN file too. And I don't know exactly whether my DNS server (BIND9) is properly configured to play this kind of role.
When I go to W10's CMD and do ipconfig /all I do see DNS server with a correct IP of my BIND9 (it's a public IP of my Ubuntu machine, actually). Nevertheless, DNS doesn't work on a client machine and I couldn't find a complete step-by-step manual how to enable this scheme.

I have a digital scale connected via USB to my Ubuntu laptop and I would like to read the measurements from it.
The serial protocol is very simple (9600,8N1, ttyUSB0) and I'm able to correctly read the measurements by using putty (VT100+) from terminal.

The scale needs to receive the command

"READ<CR><LF>"

Open in new window

in order to send the measurement.
Each measurement has this format:

01ST,GS,   2.5,kg<CR><LF>

Open in new window

if, for example, I'm measuring a 2.5Kg load.

Now, I'm trying to send the READ command from a C application, but I'm not able to get any answer.

#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h> 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

        printf("Error from tcgetattr: %s\n", strerror(errno));
        return -1;
    }

    cfsetospeed(&tty, (speed_t)speed);

I have an electronics board which has 16 relays and it works over TCP/IP.
The IP address of the board is 192.168.1.4 and the port is 3000.
I would like to control it with C/C++ under Ubuntu.

There is a list of HEX commands that it is possible to use in order to remotely switch ON and OFF each relay on the board.
This is the list:

"580112000000016C", // switch on the relay 1

"580111000000016B", // switch off the relay 1
"580112000000026D", // switch on the relay 2
"580111000000026C", // switch off the relay 2

I'm developing a WxWidgets application under Ubuntu and I'm using CodeBlocks as IDE.

I need to:

read the data stored in a magnetic card band

check if they are OK

parse the string in order to get the code, the name and the surname

I'm using a USB magnetic card reader and I set a TextCtrl as "focused" so it immediately gets the data from the reader automatically.

The format of the string is like this:

%URSMCC84R04E815LURSO  MARCO_ò8038001605011036724_

Open in new window

The control characters are always the same and I need to read everything between % and _.
I need to obtain three strings:

the first one containing the first 16 chars

the second contains the surname which goes from the 17th till the first space

the third string contains the name and goes from the first char after the space till the _

What is the best way to do this in Wxwidgets?
Moreover, since the reader emulates a keyboard, the output string is read a char at a time, so how can I design the parsing code?

This is the code I'm using to read the string.

void ProjectFrame::OntesseraText(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
    wxString stringa_tessera = tessera->GetValue(); // I read the string coming from the USB reader
    TextCtrl2->ChangeValue( stringa_tessera ); // I load the string in the second TextCtrl just for test
}

void ProjectFrame::OnTextCtrl2Text(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
// TextCtrl used to display the parsed string
}

Open in new window

I see that there is a class wxStringTokenizer, should I use it?
I'm sorry but I'm just a beginner :(

Thank you!
