I stupidly followed some bum advice and ran 'pkgrm SUNWusb' on my sparc Solaris system. After a reboot, for some strange reason, my USB keyboard and mouse won't work. Imagine that!
SSH access still works. I'm fervently hoping there is a simple way to restore the USB drivers.
I eventually figured it out. I mounted my Solaris install disk, went into /Solaris_10/Product and found the SUNWusb directory, then 'pkgadd -d . SUNwusb'. Rebooted, and things are fine.

I hope this question makes sense. I have a program that I have compiled in an ubuntu machine that works fine. I cannot do the same in a pc with manjaro. Is it possible somehow "to ship" my working program from the ubunto to the manjaro machine?
Somehow I think that with docker I can do this, but many examples in the web seem pretty involved for my task (which it seems to me it's an easy one... hopefully...).
Yesterday, after Ubuntu (or maybe Dell) installed some updates and I restarted, my snap applications were not showing on my sidebar, nor are they present in "show applications" or a normal search.
They are still installed and snap list still shows them, and they will still run via snap run <application>.
I've tried uninstalling them all (although I did not use --purge when I ran snap remove <application>), followed by uninstalling snap itself, then re-installing everything. They are still present but not showing up.
More searching has brought me to sites referencing the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable (explained HERE). If I understand correctly this should link all the folders where applications are stored, and the paths within should be separated by colons, not spaces. Thus I ran echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS and was rewarded with:
/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/var/lib/snapd/desktop /var/lib/snapd/desktop /var/lib/snapd/desktop
So I suspect my issue is the facts that the snapd directory is listed three times, and it is separated by spaces.
Does anyone have any ideas how I could fix this? I suspect, but am not certain that this is the issue.
I'm on Ubuntu 20.04, using fish shell.
I've found THIS post showing a possible solution, and upon running sudo ag "XDG_DATA_DIRS=" / 2>/dev/null | grep -v snap (and waiting a while) I got the following output (minus a few auth.log references which I've removed) Apologies for the big, possibly irreverent, "data dump"

I'm not certain I have found the correct places to think about updating the environment variable, as none of these referenced /var/lib/snaped/desktop...And this might not be the issue causing the problem at all! Any help would be welcome!
You are running into https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1957948 which will require a fix in snapd.
Using a different shell as your login shell, and then executing fish once it has started, is the right workaround.
I am also having the same problem (suddenly Firefox disappeared in Gnome Shell) and I'm using Ubuntu 21.10 with fish shell. And just like you I could not figure out what caused this XDG_DATA_DIRS modification with the separation by spaces. Because you apparently also use fish I tried switching back to bash as login shell (chsh -s /bin/bash), rebooted and voila, the desktop files are loaded again. After that I set fish as the command to start with in gnome-terminal.
TLDR: My quickfix/workaround was chsh -s /bin/bash to switch to bash as login shell (instead of fish) and reboot.
After following Zanchy's links and reading around the issue I found the solution here!!!
I needed to replace
set XDG_DATA_DIRS $XDG_DATA_DIRS $snap_xdg_path
with
set XDG_DATA_DIRS $XDG_DATA_DIRS:$snap_xdg_path
in /usr/share/fish/vendor_conf.d/snapd.fish
Update: After another update I found my snaped.fish file had reverted, and I needed to edit it again - so this solution may need to be re-applied until fish updates it's snap?
I had the same problem on Linux Lite 6.0 (basically same as Ubuntu 22.04). Snap applications (Spotify, Prospect Mail) would not show up our could not even be found when searching for them. Just logging out and back in again put the application shortcuts in the Menu and all worked fine.
so I have a problem. I accidentally deleted Eclipse folder and I wanted to install Eclipse again. But when I run installation it freezes the moment I run it, and I have to exit it...please help me
It would be informative to observe and mention any system error during installation attempt. By the way, I hope you are installing the right version for your operating system and more so, you have the recommended system requirement like RAM size, processor speed. I suggest:
Restart your system.
Use a system tool like Advanced System Care (free) and scan your system.
Well, I don't know what happened but I tried to install it 2 times, it freezed and didn't work. When I tried third time it worked. :D So yeah. Magic.
I had the same issue. Everytime I tried to install Eclipse, the installer froze at some point. Turned out it was a problem with the firewall. I tried the installation over a hotspot from my phone and it worked.
Might not be the problem for you, but I thought I leave this here, as I was trying for quite a while and almost gave up.
I am running Python2.7 with Zookeeper and kafka (0.8.2.1).
I am using the latest Kafka-python client (pip install kafka).
The following is a minimally reproducible example:
from kafka import KafkaConsumer
BOOTSTRAP_SERVER = 'myserver.com:my_port'
consumer = KafkaConsumer('my-topic', bootstrap_servers=BOOTSTRAP_SERVER)
print 'about to print messages'
for msg in consumer:
print msg
This prints 'about to print messages', and then the whole VM (Ubuntu Xenial, 16.04 LTS) freezes. I can't even see the cursor inside the VM.
Funny thing is, I am running the exact same Ubuntu Image on one of my other computers (not a VM) and it works.
The VM is running on ESXi 6.5.
This answer PyCharm freezing whole computer on Ubuntu said it could be openjdk's fault (I don't use pycharm; I execute the code from the terminal), so I switched to Oraclejdk. Didn't solve the problem. I have tried literally everything I can think of and am at my wit's end (ubuntu trusty is downloading, and I am going to try running it on that image and see if that works on the VM).
Any pointers/help appreciated.
Thank you!
UPDATE: If you are getting this issue as well on Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) or newer, try a Trusty (14.04) image. SEEMS to have solved the problem for me, but probably too soon to tell.
UPDATE 2 I was wrong. Still doesn't work. Seems like a bug in the kernel.
This is a known ESX bug. Apparently the reason for this is some invalid op code in certain intel CPUs that gets triggered by the newer versions of Ubuntu (Xenial and above).
I solved it by using Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) instead of 16.04. Hope this helps someone.

I'm running Gentoo right now, I'm using QEMU with KVM support to run a Windows VM, I need to because they're forcing us to use a proprietary CAD software at university (sadly enough). They gave us a license for a year, however when I activate it, it clearly says the license can't be used in a virtual environment. This leads me to the conclusion that somehow the system recognizes it is being emulated and I know there's a way to avoid this, but I actually have no idea what to do. I've read someone had the same problem and apparently solved it, however his solution doesn't seem to work for me. I'll leave you the URL of the question on Stack. https://serverfault.com/questions/727347/solidworks-activation-license-mode-is-not-supported-in-this-virtual-environment
This command:
qemu-system-x86_
64 -enable-kvm -hda windows.qcow2 -cpu host,kvm=off -smbios type=0,vendor=LENOVO,version=FBKTB4AUS,date=07/01/2015,release=1.180 -smbios type=1,manufacturer=LENOVO,product=30AH001GPB,version=ThinkStation P300,serial=S4M88119,uuid=cecf333d-6603-e511-97d5-6c0b843f98ba,sku=LENOVO_MT_30AH,family=P300 -m 8G
gives the output:
qemu-system-x86_64: -smbios type=1,manufacturer=LENOVO,product=30AH001GPB,version=ThinkStation: drive with bus=0, unit=0 (index=0) exists
I have no idea what to do, I also checked with ruby that the command I pasted from the post I've linked is actually ASCII, it is correct apparently.
I really need this to work, doesn't even work with a cracked license.
Thank you.
