I’ve been testing the limits of the new Ubuntu/Bash shell on Windows and after restarting my computer it mysteriously refused to launch. Running bash from the command line yielded the following message:
Error: 0x80070002 After a few attempts at repair I resorted to re-installing by issuing the following commands from the command line:
lxrun /uninstall /full lxrun /install This reset the environment and deleted everything I’d done, but seemed to be the only option.
Automating builds of docker containers on hub.docker.com is a fairly straightforward process, assuming you have a repository on GitHub containing a Docker file.
Here is an example repository.
First, on Docker Hub, choose the “Create” drop-down and select “Create an Automated Build”.
If you haven’t linked a GitHub or BitBucket account yet, you will be prompted to do so. Select “Link Accounts” and follow the prompts.
Select “Create an Automated Build with < Provider >”.
Vagrant could be installed using the Ubuntu package manager: apt-get install vagrant It’s strongly recommended, however, to download the latest version from their site and install it manually. Choose 32 or 64 bit *.deb, download, and install with the following command:
sudo dpkg -i vagrant_*.deb Vagrant + libvirt Vagrant supports virtualbox, VMware and AWS out of the box and is easily extended to support more like libvirt or LXC on Ubuntu.
When an application fails to register a menu shortcut, you can add one manually by creating a file in /home/<username>/.local/share/applications/
Below is an example of a shortcut to robomongo.
robomongo.desktop
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Terminal=false Type=Application Name=robomongo Exec=/opt/robomongo/bin/robomongo Icon=office-database Categories=Development I typically identify available icon names by right-clicking a launcher item and checking what icons are available to change to.
like Markdown, use Linux, and needed a note taking app that syncs with Android. Simplenote is perfect right?
Almost Perfect… Simplenote is… simple. One of its best features (simplicity) can at times be a liability for usability. So, taking matters in my own hands, I set out to fix it.
Let’s start with the web browser interface because it’s easiest to modify. I use Firefox but all commands are portable to Chrome.
