"install and setup pc.sh" bashscript

[majpooper]

1. Themes - Mouse Pointer, Applications, Icons, Desktop gui setting adjustments
2. Screensaver to disable it completely as well as disable locking the PC and disable display sleeping
3. Display - (setting the hz refresh rate)
4. gnome-terminal - auto setting a custom background color and regular font color, font style, and highlighted font color as well as keybindings/keyboard shortcuts away from stock.
5. Windows- setting the custom "Draggable border width" to 22 ish " which is wider than stock, " Location of newly opened Windows" to ' Center ', and Alt-Tab button/tab selection= 'Delay before display the alt-tab switcher.

Any progress on your install script ?
I think a lot of what you want to do can be accomplished with loading a dconf dump to the target system.
I don't know about 3. and 5. as I don't ever change them so I would have to see where they are controled.
1. for sure from dconf - not sure what you mean though by " gui setting adjustments"
2. for sure from dconf
4. for sure from dconf - except the key bindings/keyboard short cuts I am not sure about as I never do anything with them so would have to figure out where they are stored - maybe dconf, but I just don't know

Don't be fooled - I really am a hack and only know enough about scripting to be dangerous - just ask rene he has bailed me out more than a few times along with a few others. Anyway a simple script to load a dconf dump is petty easy.

Any progress on your install script ?

A decent bit actually.

I'm 90 percent done with it. I'll try to make time this evening to post the uodated bashcript

[motoryzen]

So here's the updated progress on my script ( again..remember..I'm testing it on the secondary PC that has some different hardware , no dedicated gpu..)

So far all of this..just works and I think maybe at one measly point did I have to intervene via having to manually type my password for one of the tasks..that I forgot to log which one and edit .

More to come later

Nice one. I bet that'll save a ton of time and hassle.

As you're using && so much, you might prefer to use set -e, or add the -e to the shebang. This flag tells BASH to exit when something fails.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash -e

wget -qc --show-progress LINK

echo 'Done!'

Here, if wget(1) fails, the `echo` builtin won't kick in. Note that, since running the script like bash FILE overrides the shebang, so too will the flag(s) on the shebang be ignored. This is why the set -e approach is more reliable, and the other method is sometimes referred to as bad practice. There are several exceptions to this flag, so please see bash(1), section SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS, and refer to the set builtin.

I should point out that this sudden and potentially unexplained exit can be very unhelpful, as you won't necessarily know what failed or why, similar to your current situation. In which case, it might be best to trap the exit so that the bailed line is printed. At least then you might have a useful exit status and a line to figure out what happened.

IE:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash -e

SigHandler() {
	printf 'Uh-oh! Line %d done wigged out.\n' $BASH_LINENO
}

trap SigHandler ERR
wget -qc --show-progress LINK

echo 'Done!'

This way, you'll know told what line cause the shell to bail. When setting up a new system, this could be a huge time-saver. The trap line should go before the main stuff is executed, but after the function is defined. If you or anyone reading this is curious about the portability of this approach, my tests showed this was introduced in 3.0.16, failed to correctly show the line number in 4.0, but from 4.1 onwards, it works correctly. The issue in 4.0 seems to be down to $BASH_LINENO.

All this might help you better address any issues you might come across, while also making it easier to manage the script. If you're happy with the approach you've taken, that's certainly OK. You gotta do you, man. Honestly, I don't take these approaches I've just explained, because I prefer to handle errors myself, but if I were writing something like you've got here, and didn't want to catch all the errors, I'd absolutely go for it.

Yeah the only reason I chose to use && 's all over the place is that the && seems to ensure the following command won't try to execute before the command before each && is done running.

Such as the gui way of install to install mkvtoolnix from Software Manager ( first launching of Software Manager for me takes between 22 and 33 ish seconds before it's down caching and all gui button software options are ready to rock for me to input basic keyboard or mouse click commands )...as I used to be able to do it the more terminal manual way, but now for some reason..it never installs otherwise

Per https://mkvtoolnix.download/downloads.html#linuxmint... it says first run

sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg https://mkvtoolnix.download/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg
--... then =--- I guess...??
deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https://mkvtoolnix.download/linuxmint/ vanessa main
... next I guess>>>??...
deb-src [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https://mkvtoolnix.download/linuxmint/ vanessa main
then of course...
sudo apt update..
... and finally..
sudo apt install mkvtoolnix mkvtoolnix-gui

^^^ this used to work but now for whatever reason for me..it refuses to. I'll try it again later tonight or tomorrow and report back ^^^ but until then. the gui Software Manager way is the only way. Otherwise..I have had to deal with the appimage or Flatpak versions and they dont even 65% jive with my dark theme. It's crappy looking compared to the native .deb package way.

AS far as modern to traditional panel setting change and a couple of other things....The gui basic user's way of doing the Mint Welcome window settings adjustments was unfortunately one proof of that example of having to do xdotool keyboard shortcut to launch separate terminal window to accomplish it and as when I tried only the xdotool keyboard key pressing and shortcuts methods...the panel would just vanish like a fart in the wind and even with a reboot, never would return...and that's doing the exact same settings adjustments with it going from Modern to the Traditional Panel (shrugs). It makes no sense to me why that problem should happen.

I tried simply to do an xdotool key alt+Tab and it would focus to the Mint Welcome window, but doing Modern to Traditional panel settings change would always crash the panel for whatever dumb reason. (shrugs ). . not a deal breaker the way I'm doing it though.

[motoryzen]

So should I begin that entire script at the very top with ...

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash -e

SigHandler() {
	printf 'Uh-oh! Line %d done wigged out.\n' $BASH_LINENO
}

trap SigHandler ERR
wget -qc --show-progress LINK

echo 'Done!'

??

Or begin it with ...

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash -e

wget -qc --show-progress LINK

echo 'Done!'

.

I'm curious if I'm misunderstanding something on either of those. I appreciate all the insight.

Function routines should always be on top of the script, before any other commands... this way they are read into memory.

Good stuff

I am taking a modular approach with python just to make it easier for me to maintain.
I have a main script that executes sub-scripts which call modules (from yet another python script) for error handling and logging so I can see where and what blows up if need be. Having everything in little chunks is just more manageable for me. Currently I am having some issues getting the logging right (was working but I broke it somehow) and I still have a few more bash scripts to convert and a few that I converted but can't seem to get to work in python.

I really like some of your gsettings - I have been using dconf - but you do some things in gsettings that I haven't found how to do in dconf so I am probably just missing something but may just borrow a couple of your gsettings and add them to my dconf python script. Even though our installation requirements are quite different you do have somethings I really like that I haven't even thought of so thanks for sharing your hard work. I still have a long slog ahead but getting there.

here is my main python script that executes various python sub-scripts - kind of shows my approach

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import os
import subprocess
from logger import cmd_log, script_log

# Set the environment variable to ignore all warnings
os.environ["PYTHONWARNINGS"] = "ignore"

# List of scripts to run

    ['python3', '099-pwd.py']
    # Add more scripts here
]

def run_subprocess(command):
    process = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
    stdout, stderr = process.communicate()
    cmd_log(' '.join(command), process.returncode == 0, stdout.decode() if process.returncode != 0 else stderr.decode())
    return process.returncode, stdout, stderr

# Run the scripts
for script in scripts:
    script_name = script[1]
    script_log(script_name, message='Starting script')
    returncode, stdout, stderr = run_subprocess(script)

[...]

I'm curious if I'm misunderstanding something on either of those. I appreciate all the insight.

If you'd like to take that approach, then yeah, I recommend putting that close to the start of the script. The function can go anywhere, as long as it's before the trap which calls it. The trap should go somewhere before the script actually starts setting things up. You can always test it works as you'd like, by forcing something to fail or using something like the false builtin.

Nice to see some Python. I've recently started yet another attempt to get into Python. I still don't like the language, but I am at least starting to appreciate why people like it. It just bugs the heck out of me. Many times, I'm shouting at the screen "Perl does that better!" and wondering why Python ever became so popular. For example, the concatenation operator is the same as a bloody arithmetic operator. I suppose it's to be more like JavaScript.

Rambling aside, a thought occurs to me: isn't writing this sort of script in Python problematic, due to version madness? For example, a new Linux Mint release might not work with these scripts, because of dependency hell. New features in 3.6 won't work in 2.7, and what works in 2.7 won't necessarily work in 3.6, for example. If you're using modules, who knows what will work with what.

Function routines should always be on top of the script, before any other commands... this way they are read into memory.

That's actually incorrect. In shell programming, functions need only be defined before they're called. In other high level languages, it's also typical that the function need not be at the top. Some languages even allow the function to be defined at the end, even after the function calls, as in Perl. A common practice is to have functions close to the top, but that's just a convention, one which runs the risk of making the programmer relentlessly yoyo around the code. Personally, I prefer to keep some functions close by and others towards the top, where suitable. This is an example of what I mean.

A good reason why motoryzen's bash approach is probably a saver approach. But I got sold (maybe some snake oil) that python would run faster, be more efficient (not sure how, but OK) and more versatile than bash.
But you hit the nail on the head - that was the very first thing that tripped me up. You have to update LM 21 right away to get python3 - or at least you did when I first started playing with it. Well of course that is one of the first things you should do right after the install. But I wanted my python script to do the update so my script was written in python3 and then run on a new VM (not updated yet) that was running python2. Well you guessed it - a preliminary task I tried to run before the update failed - at least the good thing was it told me why it failed or at least what was missing which led me to the fact it was a python3 feature. But you make a good point python unfortunately is not always backward compatible.

It's a shame you got caught out, but at least now you now. Python is certainly far more flexible than BASH, but I will always argue that BASH is and will long sometimes be the better tool for the job. BASH must be doing something right if it's still kicking, after all these years. I might be a bit biased, as I do love BASH, despite its flaws, and I don't like Python. A fair shake would be to look at BASH and Perl, both languages I like. However, the same still applies. The shell is just so dang convenient. And that's coming from someone who prefers not to run other programs from BASH, yet I'm still finding BASH to often be the best tool for the job. I guess it's a YMMV affair, though.

I am not that proficient in either but I did OK just putting the same CLI commands I used in the terminal into a bash script - nothing more . . . . simple and it worked. But no, I have to be slick with all kinds of output and logging and impress my friends (who couldn't care less really) that I can write something in python . . . . . except I am now waaaay over my head and it's all a big mess .

[Termy]

[...]

Well, I think it is awesome. Learning Python is very useful. It's a flexible and popular language with a lot of great libraries available. My dislike of Python no doubt at least partly comes from inexperience with the language. Please don't let my view of the language or the issue with dependencies take anything away from the achievement of learning to use a language and write something that helps you. It's awesome either way.

[rene]

Just a short interjection as to Python versions: Python is in fact very backwards and forwards-compatible --- with indeed a giant exception for Python 2 versus 3, but as also just about the only such exception.

Python 3 is of 2008 and while I feel that the hard break was a mistake -- and I believe I at some point read Python creator Guido van Rossum feeling the same -- the 15 years it's now been I personally hold to be more a fault of in Mint's case Ubuntu. In a sense it's testament to Python's success since there were just too many Python 2 modules/libraries that people relied on around to for a commercial entity like Canonical just do away with Python 2 support, but in a more fundamental sense I'd have loved a more rip off the band-aid approach.

At the moment Python 2 is finally all but buried and it's really just the regular obsolete internet information garbage heap that still doesn't always make ignoring Python 2 easy -- but just buy a good book and make sure it's about Python 3 and preferably Python 3 alone.

Admittedly even then there's some version issues -- I f.e. hold f-strings to be the only worthwhile formatted output method but they exists "only" since 3.6 -- but by and large Python 3 is in fact very stable and quite good. It is however a programming language, whereas I'm want to call shell scripting and Perl automation languages -- or latter in fact more often a masochation language. Shell-scripting is good at, well, shell scripting, and if you want to automate stuff it should be the first stop. If you want/need to program something, Python should be. Or then Perl if you're also deeply into being flogged with leather whips and stuff...

[majpooper]

". . . .-- or latter in fact more often a masochation language. . . . "

Guido van Rossum on the Python 2 to 3 transition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oiw23yfqQy8

Well I am not one really qualified to judge but it sounded to me like a lot of excuse making and then a sales pitch. I am starting out on python3 so in the end that python2 had some crappy parts (unicode ????) doesn't impact me.

[rene]

Mmm. That ("excuse making") doesn't in fact sit too well with me. He's describing the in certainly (infrastructure-) software standard balancing act between backwards compatibility and "forward progress" and those two can and usually do in fact conflict, especially if you as in his/their case made a few what later turned out to be "not so optimal" design decisions.

Anyways. Supposedly at this point off topic. I commented because I felt the conversation you had with Termy as to Python sounded a bit too negative towards Python, and will only say further that it's for me the only programming language I recommend for new programmers. Yes, using a more linear repository of information for learning than "the internet" but frankly that'd largely be true even without the specific 2-vs-3 issue.

I.e., FWIW, consider Python recommended as a first (serious) programming language. And/or second, third, ...

[majpooper]

I don't want to high-jack motoryzen's thread because I have done something similar - i.e. "the same but different". Our requirements are somewhat different thus a different approach. I like what motoryzen has done and got a few ideas from his install script although I think I will stick with dconf rather than gsettings - just personal preference.

Anyway here is my thread
viewtopic.php?t=398453

[motoryzen]

This has been a very helpful topic/thread. I'm still working to refine this crazy stick of dynamite.

Thanks everyone for your input.

This is what makes a Linux community great. swapping ideas, being reasonable with each other, etc. *nods humbly* and yet another reason I always recommend Mint for Windows-to-Linux beginners and this site..still basically daily.
