I'm currently trying to set up an environment for Yocto project for my personal study.
I was clueless about where to start Yocto so I bought the book Embedded Linux Projects Using Yocto Project Cookbook but it keeps failing to build the environment.
I've run only simple commands. I ran source oe-init-build-env <dir name> to make a directory and ran bitbake core-image-minimal.
But bitbake command keeps giving me errors like this. This is the log.

I feel like I need to modify conf files to fetch available URLs but I'm new to Yocto and Bitbake so I'm very lost now. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me where to find solutions. Thank you and stay safe everyone.
You seem to use quite an old yocto version 1.7.3 while there is already 3.3 released. This means also you try to build recipes for some packages that are also old and hence some URLs might be unavailable. Might it be an option for you to use a newer version?
If this is no option for you, one thing to try would be setting MIRROR (see [1]) to a mirror [2] where those packages are still available. But this approach I would not prefer.
[1] https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#var-MIRRORS
[2] could be: http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/mirror/sources/
1.7.3 is a very old release of the project, originally released in 2015 with a last point release in 2016. The fetcher warnings you see aren't the problem, they're warnings but it will fall back to the project mirrors. If it hadn't fallen back correctly, it would have shown errors as well as the warnings. The bigger problem is in fact this:
WARNING: Host distribution "Ubuntu-18.04" has not been validated with this version of the build system; you may possibly experience unexpected failures. It is recommended that you use a tested distribution.
Since Ubuntu 18.04 is three years newer than the project release you're using, there is no way it would be compatible with that release. You need to use a host OS from the era of the release, so Ubuntu 16.04 may work better. This is because the host OS provides gcc used to build the cross tools and the newer gcc versions don't tend to work with 100% of old code without tweaks.
So in short, use an older distro if you want to try and get that to build.
I'm following this rather good YT tutorial to build and run petalinux on an arty board. Everything is fine until I try to package the build with petalinux-package.
I get the following error:

ERROR: Failed to create download bit file for MicroBlaze MCS file.
The temp directory which it is looking for hasn't been created. I've also tried specifying the path to the MMI file (same as the path to the bit file) explicitly, but same issue.
Does petalinux-package generate any logs? I've searched and find no clue for this odd error.
Any ideas?
I'm using Salt to install a windows only software called Alteryx.
I've created an /srv/salt/alteryx/alteryx.sls as follows:
alteryx:
'2018.3.4':
installer: 'salt://win/repo/alteryx/Rinstaller_2018.3.4.51585.exe'
full_name: Alteryx Designer 2018.3.4
reboot: False
installer_flags: '/S /l="C:\temp\alteryxInstall.log'
My saltstatck file is in /srv/salt/alteryx/init.sls is simply
alteryx:
- pkg.installed
When I try to apply this state (salt -G 'roles:alteryx' state.apply) I get the following error:
hostname
Data failed to compile:
--------
ID alteryx in SLS alteryx is not a dictionary
I've tried placing the alteryx file in /srv/win/repo-ng/salt-winrep-ng/. But I get the same error.
What else do I need to do to get this package installed?
First of, if you have a look at sample package definition sls file, there is no installer_flags argument. It should be install_flags instead.
Second, Salt doesn't distribute SLS file for windows packages itself, you need to sync them across manually every time a change is made.
From your Saltmaster run,
salt-run winrepo.update_git_repos
Run pkg.refresh_db on each of your Windows minions to synchronize the package repository.
salt -G 'os:windows' pkg.refresh_db
Please have a read at this as well.
I installed Julia v0.6.2 on Windows 10.
Every other package was installed without a problem, but Mongo.jl give me this error while building it.

I already opened an issue on github, but I'd like to fix it asap. Any idea on how to solve this problem?
The solution is first to install manually the mongo c drivers.
Second, to copy the mongo-c-drivers folder to the mongo e libbson folder inside julia, then make a new file deps.jl for each package and write this:
# Macro to load a library
macro checked_lib(libname, path)
((VERSION >= v"0.4.0-dev+3844" ? Base.Libdl.dlopen_e : Base.dlopen_e)(path) == C_NULL) && error("Unable to load \n\n$libname ($path)\n\nPlease re-run Pkg.build(package), and restart Julia.")
quote const $(esc(libname)) = $path end
end
