The Alt+f2 in ubuntu shows up Run Application prompt. I can type any command there and open an application through it. How can i do the same programmatically, i mean that i have a command that should be passed to Alt+F2 programmatically. By program i mean a shell script
Have a look at xdotool.
You can use gmrun, which can be installed from the Ubuntu repos. Just sudo apt-get install gmrun. man gmrun for more info.
It's not exactly the same as the "run application dialog", but there's no clean way to bring that up from a script that I know of.

I want to use git bash to remotely connect to a PC running Ubuntu Linux and install it using the script code I created.
While I'm installing the packages, the gui screen will occasionally pop up as shown in the image.
How can we create a script command that will instantly push Enter when this screen appears?
I'm not experienced with these problems. I assembled my information and used bash to write my script, however I ran into this issue. I would appreciate it if you could assist me in overcoming this mistake.
Using
sudo apt-get -y
or
sudo apt -y
parameters is not working
I am a newbie to both AWS and MobaXterm. I am trying to use MobaXterm to manage AWS instances because it comes with bash.
I am following the commands as per https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2-linux.html.
When I run the following command $ sudo ./aws/install, I get the following error:
Unable to start 'install': There is no application associated with the
given file name extension.
I did run chmod 777 to ensure that I am able to read/write/execute. Please see attached image.
I do know that I can use Windows CLI installer in command line. However, doing SSH to EC2 is a nightmare in Windows with all certificates. With MobaXterm (because of bash), it is very easy. So, my preference is to use MobaXterm instead of Windows command prompt.
Moreover, I don't want to directly install Ubuntu. Hence, I am looking for some guidance here. I'd appreciate any help.
I am hoping that I am not missing any package. Thanks for any help.
In order for AWS cli to run on MobaXterm, you will need to run the following commands in MobaXterm:
MobApt install python2-pip
pip2 install awscli
It will take some time for MobaXterm to complete steps 1 and 2. Also, AWS cli runs super slow in MobaXterm. You are better off using cmd.
This is the site that helped me ran AWS cli on MobaXterm.

I am trying to get homebrew installed remotely on a machine without a terminal open and without ssh access to the machine. Our company uses a Directory-as-a-Service which allows us to remotely push shell scripts to our computers which is great, but it requires the scripts to have no interactivity.
Is there a way to automate the installer and remove the “Press enter to continue” prompt in the install process?
Thanks,
Zach S
The env variable CI seems to silence this prompt:
export CI=1
I'm not sure how to open Gnuplot from MobaXterm. I've been trying many different commands but they all don't work. When I try, I get the same error.
-bash: gnuplot: command not found
I'm curious if I downloaded Gnuplot to the wrong part of the computer or if I'm not getting the command right? I'm trying to write a program in shell script that opens Gnuplot on it's own and plots data through the shell script.
Any help is appreciated!
mobaxterm is not a linux server. So you cant install packages into it normally.
you must download plugins if you can find the plugin you are looking for
check their list here
http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/plugins.html
and it seems gnuplot is not there .
in this case your easiest solution is to download cygwin and add gnuplot on it which is possible
other option is to run small virtual machine so you can test on it
in all cases mobaxterm is not real linux enviroment so to be sure your shel do work on normal linux machines you will need to develop and test on real linux
You can install the winbuild of gnuplot and add the path to the bin directory, with gnuplot.exe in it, to mobaxterm's PATH (probably set it in .initrc or .bashrc, whichever you prefer).
MobaXterm is a standalone program which 'emulates' a Linux terminal but has no idea about your frame system (e.g. your Windows and your programs). So if you type 'gnuplot' Moba has no idea what is this. You have to
change the current directory to where is wgnuplot.exe e.g.:
cd /drives/c/Program\ Files/gnuplot-4/bin
./wgnuplot.exe
or run directly it:
/drives/c/Program\ Files/gnuplot-4/bin/wgnuplot.exe
or change your $PATH:
PATH=$PATH:/drives/c/Program\ Files/gnuplot-4/bin
wgnuplot.exe
or create a script named 'gnuplot' which runs wgnuplot.exe
#File name: 'gnuplot'
#!/bin/sh
/drives/c/Program\ Files/gnuplot-4/bin/wgnuplot.exe
and place it into some $PATH directory:
`/bin` or `/usr/bin` or `/drives/c/WINDOWS` or `/drives/c/WINDOWS/system32`
or... :)
The simplest way I found out is to use the Moba Package Manager to install the win version of gnuplot.
Open MobaXterm and type MobApt. An GUI will open up and you can type in "gnuplot" in the filter field.
Just select and install the package, MobApt will take care of any dependencies for you.
I'm trying to run a program written in C++ by using CLion v1.2 as super user. Anyone here knows how to run it as superuser? I'm using CMake.
I solved this by remote debugging on local machine. I run gdbserver with root privileges and connected to it from CLion.
To start gdbserver sudo gdbserver :port myapp, configure remote GDB debug with port
This was already implemented on CLion, starting 2020.3:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/debug-as-root.html
If you are asking to run the debugger as sudo/administrator, I had the same issue. On Linux you can open CLion as sudo and gdb will not have root permission issues running an executable:
sudo ./clion.sh
I would guess that you could right click in Windows and "Run as administrator" to get the same result.
There is a feature request into JetBrains to run the debugger as root that could use more up voting.
A workaround is:
From https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/attaching-to-local-process.html#prereq-ubuntu
If you are using CLion on Ubuntu (or probably, on some other Linux distribution), upon the first attempt to attach to the local process you can get the ptrace: Operation not permitted. error message. To disable it and enable attach to the local process feature, do the following:
To disable this restriction temporarily, enter the command:
echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
To disable this restriction permanently, open the file /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf for editing and change the line kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 1 to kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 0. To apply the changes, enter:
sudo service procps restart or restart your system, at your choice.
You can create a bash script to help you. For example, run.sh:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo $LOGIN_PASSWD | sudo -S yourExecutable --with=some-arguments
Don't forget to chmod a+x run.sh, and export the password of current account as an environment variable in Run/Debug Configurations.
