 +
##  NOTES ON IMPLEMENTATION:
 +
##
 +
##  (1) When this script is called with no arguments, it reads a run-
 +
##    time config file to determine which group of file-stored,
 +
##    bookmarked paths to read into shell variables and to make readily
 +
##    accessible via path navigation aliases.  If the run-time config
 +
##    is not found the shell creates it and populates it with its
 +
##    identifier '1' for the first group among 1..9 supported groups
 +
##    of path (also referred to as directory) bookmarks.
 +
##
 +
##  (2) When this script is called with a first argument in the range
 +
##    1..9, a single character number representation, the script
 +
##    writes this number to its run-time config file, and uses this
 +
##    number to choose among groups of saved paths written to the
 +
##    given user's dot-bashrc-amendments stored path files.  If not
 +
##    called with a valid bookmarks group id, this script falls back
 +
##    to doing the tasks in (1)
 +
##
 +
##
 +
##
 +
##
 +
##  TO DO:
 +
##
 +
##    [ ]  add to this script function which detects and shows
 +
##        the script's own aliases, and another function(s) to
 +
##        allow user to change aliases, e.g. in event that alias
 +
##        conflicts with a locally installed command,
 +
##
 +
##    [ ]  add to this script the ability to open arbitrary text
 +
##        file containing bookmarked paths, and to show it without
 +
##        replacing present bookmarks,
 +
##
 +
##    [ ]  add to this script a function to show bookmarks it
 +
##        holds and status of whether each given bookmark exists
 +
##        as a valid path on the local file system,
 +
##
 +
##    [ ]  2017-12-02 - add parameters sanity check to routine 'read_bookmarks_file',
 +
##
 +
##    [ ]  2017-12-02 - add settings file to store latest selected group of bookmarks,
 +
##
 +
##
 +
##
 +
##
 +
##
 +
##  TO CONFIRM:
 +
##
 +
##    [ ]  2017-12-02 - make sure that variable 'index' is visible in
 +
##        the scope of the script which sets the alias 'sp' which
 +
##        saves bookmarked paths,

Beyond the biodiverse forests on the outer edges of Madeira Island, the land rises, reminding hikers that this Portuguese island is the tip of a shield volcano. Trails allow passage up into these higher elevations, including paths created from the island’s old (and still functioning) aqueduct system. Some of the decommissioned channels, called levadas, have been repurposed as hiking trails.

^ Linux Distributions


Following section holds links to some commonly used server and desktop Linux distributions, available for download as install isos and sometimes as minimal net install isos. After these full-scale distros are listed some of the smaller distributions of Linux and supporting softwares. These smaller distros appear to be a good starting point for learning how to design and build embedded Linux systems . . .

First we'll sift for errors from X, then we look at loading of modules, unloading of modules, the module named 'radeon', and also look at the timing of these X-logged events:

^ to configure net-tools ifconfig and isc-dhcp-client

The program or script ifconfig is, as of this spring 2018 entry found in Debian's package named net-tools. Having a weird issue where ifconfig no longer properly configures the primary network interface to request and obtain and DHCP address on the LAN. The specific error message which occurs for both an Intel-based PCIExpress card and an integrated Marvel 10/100/1000 mbit card is: 

user@localhost:~/Desktop$ sudo ifup eth4
2018-04-12 - called with $IFACE set to eth4,
user[1678]: WARNING: Initialising interface eth4 which does not have link


These messages come from a script in /etc/network/if-up.d/00check-network-cable.

Attempting the basic shot-gun approach of purging this package and re-installing. Dependent packages which must also be purged include ifupdown-extra and dhcp-probe . . .


A patch for one of the ifconfig network scripts:

- 2018-04-18 WED - No reference from run-parts messages about missing DHCP client. Turns out Debian 8.10 "Jessie" provides a package named isc-dhcp-client, or offers it as part of their package mirrors lists, but its recommended rather than required when installing the ifupdown package. Adding this package solved the problem of no action and no messages occurring when attempting to bring up one or another network interface card whose config settings called for DHCP to be applied to those interfaces. - TMH

^ GNU gpg utility and to configure gpg with proxy

- 2018-03-29 THU - 

 We have a new and strict firewall policy in place, which is blocking GNU gpg requests from our work site to the greater internet.  Here are some initial references to the issue, both of which mention a protocol called hkps, and also a default gpg port 11371 . . .

  * https://www.gnupg.org/faq/gnupg-faq.html#no_default_of_rsa4096


Invoking gpg for first time, and then a second time behind firewall we get the following messages: 

user@localhost:~$ gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 7638D0442B90D010

STEP 2

And a crucial step to adding a public key to apt explained here at this ccm web page: 

gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 010908312D230C5F
gpg -a --export 010908312D230C5F | sudo apt-key add -

Unfortunately, the "@" in the --date argument is necessary for it to
work correctly when SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is specified:

  $ date -u "+%F %R:%S %Z" --date=1412583777
  date: invalid date ‘1412583777’
  $ date -u "+%F %R:%S %Z" --date=@1412583777

At least, that's how it works on my Debian system...

^ directory bookmarking script

For ease of navigating long directory paths Ted has written a amending script to the Bash start up script. The directory bookmarker is open sourced by its author,

On a system which has Bash or Gitbash but no default user start up script, a minimal .bashrc file can be created containing something like the following, which happens to be tailored for Gitbash installed under Windows 10: 

#!/usr/bin

if [ -e $HOME/Desktop/dot-bashrc-amendments.sh ]; then
    . $HOME/Desktop/dot-bashrc-amendments.sh
fi

# --- EOF ---


This start up file assumes there is a shell script named dot-bashrc-amendments.sh in the user's Desktop directory, under their home directory. This is a typical Windows path, but not a typical Unix or Linux path. This path came about during author's early gitbash use, when it was unclear which path gitbash was adopting as the user's home directory. This uncertainty, it turned out, came from some intermittently available network mapped volumes. The reader is encouraged to make their own best choice of a stable and sensible path or location for their start up files.

As of this Monday 2018-11-05 wish list for directory bookmarker script includes:

  • automatic dating of latest update of given bookmark
  • verbose listing of directory bookmarks in given group of bookmarks
  • option for users to give title to each group of bookmarks
  • option for users to further annotate groups of bookmarks

^ shell arrays and array implementation

Classic Unix/*nix shell command interpreters are not designed to provide full or detailed mathematical operations support. Variables tend to be weakly typed and treated as strings, but Bourne Again SHell or bash has some basic math facilities. This in turn lends support to some limited, kind of clunky array syntax. But this array facility in one or more versions of Unix based shell can be better than no array support. Some references: 

 *  https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/arrays.html

Also may be worth looking at example 11-14, second shell script which omits 'do' and 'done' keywords in shell FOR-loop construct: 

 *  https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/loops1.html

. . . there may be syntax here which allows for more sane, flexible array element assignments.

- 2017-12-04 - Hey Ted moving Git notes to a separate article. Not a lot of notes but anticipating need to write down more detailed git-related stuff. Ted's git notes on Neela wiki will be here at Git notes article.


Wanting to understand and use git better, here are some on-line references to git version control. Also, Ted searching for a git reference posted by a female author, can't remember name but reference well-written with lots of commands and concise explanations of each command. First URL reference may be that page, now 2017-10-02 not sure of the author's name . . .

  • Mountain trail in Madeira, Portugal

Beyond the biodiverse forests on the outer edges of Madeira Island, the land rises, reminding hikers that this Portuguese island is the tip of a shield volcano. Trails allow passage up into these higher elevations, including paths created from the island’s old (and still functioning) aqueduct system. Some of the decommissioned channels, called levadas, have been repurposed as hiking trails.
