Good day, there is a task to setup jitsi meet on my own server (Ubuntu 20.04) and delete all the functionality as much as possible (only audio and cameras should work, so no youtube, no screen sharing...). maybe somewhere there are ready "trimmed" or "patched" versions of the source code from Git or someone has done something similar?
changing config files does not solve the problem, because the same amount of source code remains :)

Recently lost my hard drive where I had WAMP installed and Imagick working.
Someone else did that part for me way back.
Reinstalling Win7 and getting everything working again = nightmare.
So I installed the latest version of WAMP - NO Imagick.
3 days of trying all the solutions on this site (and some others - sorry) and got nowhere.
Does anyone know of a "one shot" installation that will work out the box?
Maybe a fork of one of them - I looked but found nothing
Or maybe I should install Ubuntu onto an old PC and use that as a web server on my home LAN?
Seriously - they are depreciating the GD library some time soon and Imagick is apparently the successor but no-one supports Imagick natively.
Jumping through all sorts of hoops is no guarantee that it will work either as I have painfully found out.
Thanks in advance people.
WAMP and XAMPP are not up to speed with the transition from the soon to be removed GD library to the ImageMagic library and it would seem that neither are planning to bring their products up to date any time soon.
That leaves many users with a major problem as most web site developers need to be able to manipulate images at some time or another during their work.
For users who are not at a reasonably high level of expertize as far as messing around in the guts of the (in my case, Windows) operating systems, this is a nightmare and can be downright dangerous.
I did find what seemed to be a viable alternative in WampDeveloper Pro but unless you specifically go looking for it, their website is very hush-hush about the fact that its going to cost you over $125 to get it working.
You only find out about this at the first run after installing.
So my options are the following:
Put one of the Ubuntu distributions on a VM
or
Find an old drive, install it into your PC and make the PC dual boot using a Ubuntu distribution.
The second option will "ease" me into converting from Microsoft based OS reliance to a Linux based OS however if that does not work out, I do have the option to create an Ubuntu VM under the Windows system (I have used VM for a while under Windows) and use that in place of the other Windows based web server alternatives.
Either way I will be able to carry on servicing my clients and making a living without spending money or having a stroke due to pure frustration.
I may regret this decision BUT I may start wondering to myself "Now why did you wait so long?"
UPDATE
This question seeks help with tooling - "how do I debug my problem." As I type this, there has been no answers. I did end up stumbling on the solution for the actual problem I was trying to solve and have provided the solution as an answer.
I still would be more than happy to hear any answers on the tooling question though, and if somebody comes up with a workable answer, I'll be more than happy to transfer the checkmark
Original Question
I initially opened an issue with YouCompleteMe https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe at https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/issues/1345. It immediately got closed because there's no official support for Windows. Ok, fine.
I'm now asking the Stackoverflow community, hopefully there are people who are messing with YCM for Windows (there is a "unofficial YCM for Windows" page, so there MUST be SOMEBODY hacking on this thing).
Below is the original content of the issue that I opened.
If somebody actually has an answer that works, great! At this point, I'm looking more for procedures that I can use to run the YCM server under a debugger to see where exactly it's choking
I'm trying to get YCM to work on my Windows 7 machine. I have a few
other XP, Win7, Win8 machines that have no problems with YCM. I've
tried building the support stuff using MinGW, Visual Studio 2010, both
on the target machine as well as the other machines where I have YCM
working.
When I open a Python or C++ file, a message immediately appears that
YCM has crashed and I should restart with :YcmRestartServer. It
mentions that I should set g:ycm_server_keep_logfiles in order to see
the log messages. I have done that, but I still don't have any
logfiles and the "set g:ycm_server_keep_logfiles" message is still
appearing.
I also get ('Connection aborted.', error(10061, 'No connection could
be made because the target machine actively refused it'))
I looked in python\ycm\youcompleteme.py and saw that the "logfiles
deleted" message comes up because of an exception in trying to open
the file specified by self._server_stderr (IOError). Right now I'm
suspecting that this is because the server never actually gets far
enough in its startup sequence to actually create the stdout and
stderr files.
What are the steps that I could do to investigate why the server (?)
fails to start properly.
I also had a vague idea that there was a firewall rule blocking
connections, I looked through Windows Firewall, but didn't really see
anything that would point to localhost connections being blocked or
whatnot.
I'm okay with doing debugging, would appreciate advice on the
procedure that I would need to do in order to get Visual Studio 2010
to step into the server process and poke around stuff.
Oh, dunno if this factoid means anything, but I'm able to use
Rip-Rip's clang_complete without issues, but I would very much rather
use YCM.
I never really did get an answer or solution to the central question of "how do I debug YCM under Windows" but I did solve the underlying problem of why YCM wasn't working for me, so for posterity (and other fellow despairing YCM users who may end up here via Google)
For me, YCM immediately crashed and burned. I figured the problem out by seeing a Windows system that had been working fine for me start exhibiting the symptoms.
The change: I had installed Python 3.x and switched it to being the system preferred python (by messing with paths, what do you expect with Windows?).
As it turns out (duh), YCM depends on Python 2.x and falls over when it can't find any of the libraries that it was trying to open.
I started going down the path of trying to locate exactly what the files YCM was trying to access and provide them locally in the YCM directory, but after spending five minutes on it, I decided that I wanted something simpler.
Since I still wanted Python 3.x to be the 'system' version, I settled for manipulating the path WITHIN Vim, so I added this before the YCM load,
if (has('win32') || has('win64'))
let $PATH = 'C:\Python27;' . $PATH
endif
Hope that this saves somebody else some pain
Ok, so I'm a bit late jumping onto the Vagrant band-wagon, but figured it's about time I did.
Brief background: I've been a freelance developer for quite some time now developing solutions based on Magento and Drupal, and have finally gathered enough demand to warrant the need to build up a team. Previously, whenever I started development on any new project, I use to clone a preconfigured base VM in Virtualbox, and use that. Of course there were still configurations to do on it until I could start with actual development. Every project's web files therefore all resided inside /var/www/projectname on an Ubuntu VM.
Now I've read up on why I should be Vagrant, especially considering that I now have a team of 4 developers working with me, but I would appreciate any feedback on the following questions I have:
Moderator note: I know this isn't exactly asking a programming question, so please advise if this could be turned into a wiki, as I'm sure that feedback into this will help someone just like me.
I am still reading through the Vagrant docs, so please be kind...noob questions ahead!
I now work on a Mac. Does it matter if I use Parallels, and another developer uses VirtualBox on Windows if we need to share or collaborate on projects?
When I issue the command, vagrant up for an existing project, will it start the VM up as I would in VirtualBox or will it recreate the VM?
Is the command vagrant halt the same issuing sudo poweroff in Ubuntu, for example?
I currently use PhpStorm and its SFTP feature for project files synchronization with the option to exclude certain files on the remote server (VM) from being imported and sync'ed...will I be able to specify the same using Vagrant folder sharing?
Could I easily zip or archive a Vagrant VM, move it to a file server, and then "re-import" when and if needed? (example bug fixes, or new feature enhancements)
What do we use to easily provision VMs for common projects? Should we being using Puppet, Chef, Puphpet or Salt? I've seen that Puphpet provides a nice GUI to create a vagrantfile which I'm sure once generated, we could customize for future projects. At a very basic level, we need to ensure that certain applications are installed onto the server (zip, phpmyadmin, OpenSSL, etc.), certain PHP settings, PHP and PEAR modules, and Apache settings. I already have base VMs set up as I'd like them for both Magento projects as well as Drupal projects.
EDIT: I should also add that I use to enable Host Adapter in VirtualBox (on Windows), configure the VHost inside Ubuntu, and then update my host machine's hosts file with something like 192.168.56.3 drupalsite1.dev. So I'm unsure if Port Forwarding would be better to use? I'm not very clued up on that I must admit.
Like i said - noob questions! However, I would really appreciate any feedback on these questions. My deepest thanks!
Most of what you are asking is subjective so common sense and experience are the best tools.
I recommend all team members use the same provider (parallels isn't officially supported) and virtualbox is readily available. The base boxes, by provider, could have slight variances, you never know.
Vagrant will start the vm similarly but vagrant also does other things like configuration the network, hostname, shared folders, etc. Not quite the same. The big power lies in the capability to be able to teardown the environment and bring it back in a cleanly provisioned state.
Basically, yes.
Yes, your vagrant VMs are just like your own mini cloud. You would interact the servers similar to the way you'd interact with external boxes.
Yes, the simple answer is that it's called packaging and you can share the resultant .box. However, it's good practice to keep the base box and provisioning scripts under CM so you can rebuild and modify as needed.
For provisioners, I think it is dependent upon your experience and your familiarity with the provisioner language and how much you want to invest in learning them. Look through the provisioner support and see what fits your need and budget. Chef has a very steep learning curve, in my experience, but also has a lot of thought built in. Most provisioners have wide libraries of available installation "scripts".
The host adapter can be handled identically in vagrant.
Learn by doing, I recommend going down the table of contents (navbar) of the vagrant docs and trying each step where it makes sense. Then make your decisions.
That is my 2 cents. Hope this helps!
I have just heard of this open source early in this morning, and hook into google for searching about this,but seems like google have limited options too.
I found this one https://github.com/edx/configuration/wiki/edX-Ubuntu-12.04-Installation ,but it is for ubuntu
I am using mac 10.8.3 ,my question is
1.is it possible to install it on my mac machine
2.Where can i find the downloads of this open source
3.Which is the best tutorial to install edX
With Regards
1) Yes you can install the files on Mac, just that there isn't a guide in order to archive that. You can try to follow the Ubuntu guide posted and one by one check if the commands are compatible, or use a compatible command.
2) In order to get the files you need to use github so the link that you post is where the files are you can use a git clone in order to get the files on your mac.
3) The best tutorial is this one https://github.com/edx/configuration/wiki/edX-Ubuntu-12.04-64-bit-Installation. Remember that Ansible is in charge of the installation so we just need to run and wait
Hope that this helps
I have a big problem with my FileZilla on my current Ubuntu 12.10 installation so its unusable. First of all some facts:
FileZilla works with my Router/WLan etc. setup on windows perfectly.
It even worked on Ubuntu before upgrading (allthough I'm not sure if it affects at first 12.04 or 12.10)
So the Problem I guess is related to my Ubuntu
The problems are the following:
it's slow
I often have connection timeouts while transfering a couple of files or often when changing directories
often files get transferred without their contents
furthermore if bigger uploads timeout or stop I cannot determine what has allready been uploaded because it does not seem to follow any order subdirectorywise.
I'm kind of a Linux beginner too so I have no idea what I can do about this. Hopefully anybody can help.
It seems that I encountered the same problem with you. It's all right using FileZilla on Windows, but unstable on Ubuntu. Frequent timeout after MSLD command occurred.
I solved the problem by using the ftp command instead. It's built-in and rather simple. You could also check if the ftp connection is OK in Ubuntu with this tool. If it is, then it might be something wrong with FileZilla. (I guess)
I wrote an article about this: http://pengwenqiang.wordpress.com/2013/11/07/the-usage-of-the-basic-ftp-command-in-linux/
Hope it helps.
