Following are code snippets from python 3.6 standard library logging module, filename __init__.py

On line 1732, class RootLogger gets instantiated. But on line 1733, what is Logger.root ? dot notation is used with object name, not class name ?
On line 1734, what is Logger.manager ? Again, why dot notation is used with class name ?

1255     Instances of the Logger class represent a single logging channel. A
1256     "logging channel" indicates an area of an application. Exactly how an
1257     "area" is defined is up to the application developer. Since an
1258     application can have any number of areas, logging channels are identified
1259     by a unique string. Application areas can be nested (e.g. an area
1260     of "input processing" might include sub-areas "read CSV files", "read
1261     XLS files" and "read Gnumeric files"). To cater for this natural nesting,
1262     channel names are organized into a namespace hierarchy where levels are
1263     separated by periods, much like the Java or Python package namespace. So
1264     in the instance given above, channel names might be "input" for the upper
1265     level, and "input.csv", "input.xls" and "input.gnu" for the sub-levels.

I have an Ubuntu server running 10.04.6 LTS. It is providing web services. I have setup sftp and given permission to an 'sftp' group to login but have set their root directory to be /var/www/html. They are able to connect to the server but cannot write to the folder. I use setfacl to give the group write permission. If they are already logged in, they can now create folders and files. However, once they logout, they can no longer login. If I remove the acl, the condition reverses again. It is not limited to acls though. I even tried just giving 'other' write-access. Same thing happened.

Dear Experts,

I'm currently using ffmpeg on RaspberryPi 4 (4 CPU, 4GB RAM, 16GB SD Card) for encoding bitrate from Camera (experimental environment).

As my first though when running encode process, from 1024Kbps input (Camera) to 512Kbps output (RaspPi4), the CPU consumption/ usage is quite a lot: 220->260% in the total 400% CPU Power (4 CPU).

This is my encode command:

/usr/bin/ffmpeg -re -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://testing:testing123@172.16.1.200:554/Streaming/Channels/101 -an -c:v libx264 -b:v 512k -strict experimental -flags +global_header -f flv rtmp://172.16.1.201:1935/RTMP/testing-storage

Open in new window

I just wondering if there is anything I could do to reduce this CPU consumption.
And if i keep using that RaspPi with that much CPU, how long till it go down? What I mean is, can we calculate the attenuation, and the time the device can be used with such a load?

Many thanks for reading this Experts.

Bitbake is a python program. Following guide shows how to setup BitBake.
https://a4z.bitbucket.io/docs/BitBake/guide.html

Form Linux command prompt, I invoke bitbake by simply typing bitbake. Since the location of this program is in PATH variable, bitbake runs. But how does python compiler know it's a python program. Aren't python programs required to have .py extension?

I have the following in a php file:

<?php
$output = shell_exec(dirname(__FILE__) . '/add_sku_to_get_flat_rate_quotes.sh');
?>

When I call that file from a browser, it is supposed to run this .sh command in another file in same dir:

me@myserver:~/public_html/mywebsite.com/symfony$ app/console myaccount:get_flat_rate_quotes sku 7017

Which is supposed to add that sku to a table. When I run that sh command from an SSH terminal, it works. What am I missing?

My web host confirmed shell_exec will work on my server.

Linux Sound Issue in VMWare

I've installed several Linux distributions in virtual machines running under VMWare Workstation v15.5 [Elementary v5.0, Linux Mint v19.2, Ubuntu LTS v18.04.4, and Ubuntu v19.10

NONE of them have sound when they boot up -- they all display the following message during the boot process:

The "FIX" is very simple: After the OS is running, just go to VM - Settings - Sound Card and click on the "Connected" box and all will be well.

But it'd be nice if this wasn't necessary. Anyone know how to resolve it?

I just installed Centos 7, and I get too much stuff being output when I use set -x. Weird, huh?

Furthermore, if I type any command, such as ls -l, I get the above stuff with some additional stuff which is possibly related to the specific command. To see the results of the command, I have to scroll up. So, please tell me how to get rid of this stuff and just in case this stuff can prove useful someday, how do I turn this stuff back on?

If I use a -x in a bash script or function in .bashrc, the stuff even spills out past the script.

Firefox Video Playback issue in VMWare Ubuntu virtual machine.

I installed Ubuntu v19.10 in a VMWare virtual machine (running Workstation 15.5), and discovered an issue with Firefox in this environment.

If you go to www.cnn.com, and then attempt to play any of their videos, you get a "forever spinning circle" and a message at the upper left part of the video that says "Something went wrong during native playback." This happens no matter which video I select.

I went to www.yahoo.com to see if their videos would play, and in that case I get a "Video Not Available" message, with a subtext that says "Unfortunately, this video is missing or damaged and cannot be played" -- but in this case there's no "forever spinning circle".

If I go to www.youtube.com and play one of their videos, everything works fine.

Just for grins, I installed Chromium, and all of the videos play perfectly in this browser.

Interestingly, Firefox works fine for all of these in virtual machines I set up for a couple other Linux distros -- Elementary v5.0 and Linux Mint v19.2.

Just for grins, I also installed the latest LTS version of Ubuntu (v18.04.3) … and it has the exact same issue with Firefox.

Any ideas ??

Hi linux experts

Have a huge directory in linux, since many users access and creates files/driectories. even thought we instructed the team...sometime files are owned by them.

As an automation process which reads this parent directory, it fails if its owned by others. automation process can only read and write if its owned by uid/gid 1000
So I run a script on a regular basis as a root to set chown (1000:1000) and chmod 775, so my automation never fails.

Is there a smarter way to handle this situation please. Irrespective of logged user or whoever creates it....files/directory should be set to 1000.

May be g+s set on the parent directory, so all child objects are owned by 1000

please advice/suggest

I have Darter Pro Linux Laptop running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (64-bit). It was shipped with vi editor pre-installed. In following thread I asked how to install vim.
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29165311/How-to-install-vim-in-Linux-laptop-that-is-pre-installed-with-vi.html
I selected following solution.
>> vim and vi in newer versions are one and the same, run vi --version;

Attached version information shows that I have vim 8.0. I think lot of features are missing. There is no multiple file support. I open many files from
command prompt but only One file opens.
There is no support for python. See attached -python3, meaning python3 feature is missing.
Also, it says small version without GUI. Please see attached version information.

Hello, so I've been trying to fiddle with iptables for my web server. Everything is working except for passive ftp and I can't seem to get it right.

Here are my iptables rules:

-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT 
-A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT 
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT 
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT 
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT 
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 21 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT 
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 20 -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT 
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --sport 1024:65535 --dport 1024:65535 -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT 
-A INPUT -j DROP 
COMMIT

Open in new window

I have the line IPTABLES_MODULES="nf_conntrack_ftp" in iptables-config

Anyway, all ftp users aren't able to connect (they are if I disable iptables).
To put it better, they do connect but then they can never reach their root directory and they get an error saying the / directory couldn't be found.

So there must be something wrong in my IPTABLES, but I can't find it for the life of me. I've followed every guide I found and I can't find my mistake.

Can you guys lend a hand?

BitBake is a Python Program. I downloaded BitBake from https://github.com/openembedded/bitbake. I selected branch version 1.40.0 and downloaded the zip.
At least some of the source code is in bitbake-1.40.0/bin and bitbake-14.0.0/lib folders.

I can insert print statements to navigate source code. Is there alternate way to navigate python program such as bitbake?

Unable to define alias to allow sed to handle escaped space

I haven't worked in bash for many years. Someone at work had a problem with substituting a string in a file with a string that included a space. Here is what is in the .bashrc file.

alias frf='set -o noglob;_frf'

function _frf
{
    \echo “Replacing $1 with $2 in all $3 files…”
    \grep -li $1 $3 | \xargs -tI@ \sed -i 's/'$1'/'$2'/g' @
    return
}

Open in new window

The files 1.txt and 2.txt are identical with the contents:

this is a string

Open in new window

The following gives no problems:
frf ring rung
frf rung ring
Then diff 1.txt 2.txt shows no differences.

But the following gives an error:

$ frf ring "r\ ing" 1.txt
“Replace ring with r\ ing in all 1.txt files…”
sed -i s/ring/r\ ing/g 1.txt 
sed: -e expression #1, char 9: unterminated `s' command

Open in new window

I have a couple questions about his alias file.
what does this mean: set -o noglob ?
Why are there '\' before the echo and the grep ?
How to modify this alias to enable escaped spaces?

Btw, what is wrong with diff *.txt which gives error "missing operand after '*.txt'" ? Never had problems like this before. diff 1.txt 2.txt is ok.

I also tried this line which was worse:

find . -name "$3" -exec sed -i 's/$1/$2/g' {} \;

We got an audit finding that our Solaris (& possibly Linux as well but I haven't
verify) OS account used for Nagios monitoring do not have password expiry.

Q1:
However, when a Solaris account got expired, it'll cause service disruption
(just like root's cron jobs): is there any way around this?

Q2:
Can we set the SHELL for the nagios account to /bin/false or no shell so
that it's deemed as non-interactive account & don't require password
expiry? Will Nagios still work with no shell or a false shell??

Q3:
if we change the password of this nagios account periodically, do we
need to change it in nagios (script or settings) somewhere?
