run buildbot on Windows XP - windows

I recently stumbled over buildbot and wanted to give it a try.
My problem is that I have to run it under Windows because we don't use Linux on workstations or servers in my company.
I've already tried different installations:
python 2.6, Twisted-9.0.0-py2.6, buildbot 0.7.12
python 2.6, pywin32-214-py2.6, Twisted-9.0.0-py2.6, buildbot 0.7.12
python 2.4, pywin32-214-py2.4, Twisted-9.0.0-py2.4, buildbot 0.7.12
and tried to run it in a Windows XP VM.
In all installations I ran the buildbot test suite and got several errors and the buildbot documentation sais that no test should fail.
Does anybody here have experience with buildbot under Windows?
Is it worth the pain or do I have to use Linux?

Have you tried running it with Python 2.4 and Twisted 2.5 (old, I know). Also, make sure you have ZopeInterface installed.
I have personally never used it with Windows, but will try and let you know what results I get.

I don't think that many people are running buildmasters on Windows.
I have a Windows buildslave running:
buildbot 0.8.0
twisted 10.0.0
zopeinterface 3.6.1
which appears to work fine though haven't tried the test set.

IRAF for Mac m1

Hi I'm trying to install IRAF with anaconda I follow these steps, but when I run iras, and I want to make something, this program doesn't recognize the commands of IRAF
i follow this tutorial: https://astroconda.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html
I don't know how to fix it.
The Astroconda IRAF is a 32-bit version and does not work on M1 Macs, since they are not able to run 32-bit code.
To install IRAF for an M1 Mac, you should compile it manually, as described in https://iraf-community.github.io/install. This installs the latest 64-bit IRAF version. PyRAF (for Python 3) can then simply installed with pip3, see https://iraf-community.github.io/pyraf.html.
However, it is not recommended to start with IRAF unless there is a real need for it. IRAF is old software with an uncertain future and no institutional support. The Astropy Python package and its ecosystem provide good alternatives for many tasks of IRAF. https://astropy.org

Using snapd instead of flatpak in Linux Mint

I installed IntelliJ and WebStorm on my Linux Mint distro. The problem I have is that I cannot use the integrated terminal on both of the software. In both of them there is a problem with my bash binary location. I researched and saw that the software manager in Linux Mint installs flatpak software by default, and that it works as a sort of a container. I tried to change the location of my bash binary to var/run/host.. but it didn't seem to work.
I read that people solve this by installing the tar version of the software or using snapd. Since snapd is not supported by Linux Mint, what are my alternatives? Can I somehow give access to my software to use my bash, npm, etc... and if not, why is it that flatpak makes these things so difficult?..
Flatpak works as a sandbox environment - each pack has its own runtime environment and because of security reasons, flatpak apps do not have direct access to host files. There could be a lot of problems due to this.
Please try reinstalling the IDE using one of the officially recommended options (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/installation-guide.html) - download the tar.gz from https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/download/#section=linux, or use the toolbox app to manage installations

Install Ruby 2.3.2 on Windows 10

I have an old Ruby 2.3.2 app I've been asked to help maintain on Windows 10. RubyInstaller (https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/archives/) would normally be great, but it seems like 2.3.2 was not ported over.
Since RubyInstaller was not an option, installing RVM on the Windows Subsystem for Linux was the next option. While this sometimes works, it has issues with our VPN pretty regularly, which seems like a recurring issue with WSL (https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/1350 && https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/416).
Is there a way to convert any of the 2.3.2 builds (https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2016/11/15/ruby-2-3-2-released/) to run on windows?

Powershell script on mac error

Just downloaded powershell trying to run a script on Mac and received the following error. Would appreciate any help from anyone familiar for a non-windows user. :)
The script you are running is not compatible with MacOS. It is trying to pull in resources that are only on Windows.
For Information on the Meltdown/Spectre vulnerability on MacOS, see Apples post: About speculative execution vulnerabilities in ARM-based and Intel CPUs
The Step by Step instructions are here:
Supports Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 17.04, Debian 8, Debian 9, CentOS 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7, OpenSUSE 42.2, Fedora 25, Fedora 26, Arch Linux, and macOS 10.12.
For Linux distributions that are not officially supported, you can try using the PowerShell AppImage. You can also try deploying PowerShell binaries directly using the Linux tar.gz archive, but you would need to set up the necessary dependencies based on the OS in separate steps.
All packages are available on our GitHub releases page. Once the package is installed, run pwsh from a terminal.
https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/docs/installation/linux.md#macos-1011
Is this and new install and was install successful?
How or what commands did you run to install it, meaning following the defined steps.
You do not say what you are doing that caused this error and or is this a script you wrote or downloaded and are trying to use.
Point of note PoSH Core does not have all the features of Windows PowerShell, at least not yet. So, you have to work in those confines.
If this is from the install, you'll have to remove and reinstall.

Issues with Python update on Mac

So, yesterday I could run python scripts just fine. I also had numpy installed and tested on my system. From here, I proceeded to install opencv on my Mac following this link.
Afterwards, I tested it and it worked fine. Then I installed pyOSC.
Then I proceeded to use two example scripts to test that it was working fine, and it was.
Then, I updated python on my system, and now it can't find OSC and numpy whenever I try to call them (from the python interpreter or another script). When I run pip list I can see that they're still installed. I'm pretty sure this is the root of the issue, I'm just not sure how to fix it without uninstalling and re-installing everything.
Any Ideas? Currently running python 2.7
EDIT I had the version of python that came with the system and I downloaded the new version of python from python.org because I was having issues with segmentation fault 11 error.
After some googling I figured it out.
I used type -a python to see all versions I had of python.
Weirdly enough, I had the Mac System version as /usr/bin/python and then I had two entries under /usr/local/bin/python. I deleted both of these and now everything is working properly.
