As it is the Linux version of OS, I tried firing, hoping that would work
apt-get install jq
But it says apt-get: command not found.
How I can install new binaries as I wanted to add some extra logic in the startup script which required few extra libs to be installed first.
Please correct me if I am doing anything wrong.
Container OS is locked down. You are prohibited from installing programs. Create a container and run the command in the container.
Container-Optimized OS does not include a package manager; as such,
you'll be unable to install software packages directly on an instance.
However, you can use CoreOS toolbox to install and run debugging and
admin tools in an isolated container.

You can use toolbox to install the package
You can specify a startup script through the metadata server. The script would be run at boot time.

I am trying to set up a cross-compile environment on an AWS EC2 Ubuntu box targeting Nvida Xavier devices on Cuda 10.2. I tried following the "instructions" at https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/archive/10.2/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html#cross-platform which say to install
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-cross-<identifier>_all.deb
but no clue as to where I might get hold of that .deb file, or what <identifier> should be replaced with. I have installed the native package cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-10-2-local-10.2.89-440.33.01_1.0-1_amd64.deb and there are a load of .deb files in /var/cuda-repo-10-2-local-10.2.89-440.33.01, but none of them are that one.
So it turns out that the instructions that can be found by googling for, for instance, "cuda install cross compile" are wrong, or at least so incomplete as makes no difference.
Instead, use the SDK manager https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-sdk-manager to install just the host tools. It does run without a GUI.
I have been trying to install Install-Package Google.Apis.Drive.v3 using this source with the difference that I have Ubuntu-18.04 instead of Windows.
I know it may be a simple question but I have been trying research how to do that from this morning. I installed sudo apt install nuget on my machine and have been trying to add packages or as in this case the Google.Apis.Drive.v3 package but no luck.
I went through this source which was useful, but does not carry information I was able to replicate on my Linux machine.
Also this source, this one and this one too. But also this last one is for Windows and was not very useful.
How do I install Google Apis Drive V3 via command line easily as it is documented for windows but on Ubunbtu-18.04?
Thanks for pointing to the right direction for solving this problem.
Solution
The way you install your Drive API's library is depending on the programming language you are aiming to use. These are the following commands to run depending on the different languages to interact with the API (with their respective links to the source of the setup):
Python:
pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib
C#/.NET:
Create a new Visual C# Console Application project in Visual Studio.
Open the NuGet Package Manager Console, select the package source nuget.org, and run the following command:
">Install-Package Google.Apis.Drive.v3
Java:
gradle init --type basic
mkdir -p src/main/java src/main/resources
Node.js:
npm install googleapis#39 --save

I hope this has helped you. Let me know if you need anything else or if you did not understood something.
NOTE: For all Ubuntu-18.04 users that wish to install via command line the correct way is: sudo dotnet add package Google.Apis.Drive.v3
On my Fedora 19 system, yum update attempts to reinstall a large number packages I have previously removed. This should not happen, as the packages listed are not installed and should not be suggested by yum. How can I make yum work in the expected manner - with updates suggesting only upgrades to preinstalled packages.
Background: I have been trying out new DEs - installing and removing them as I go. Currently, I'm in a DE-less state, booting directly into a tty terminal. My system has no (or a few hidden) xfce or cinnamon packages to "upgrade", yet the package manager is suggesting 300 packages to install, totaling 600M of new install.
Terminal output gist:

Short answer - It's not possible to disallow installing any packages from the depenency chain. Either you install all of them or drop those who depends on unwanted packages.
In some cases, when the package from a dependency chain is required only during some specific stages of installation (say for execution of a pre- or post-install scripts), it's possible to remove thise package later, after the complete installation. But that's not what you want I suppose.
I've recently installed MacPorts as explained on MacPorts website. All the process went well. The .profile file in my home directory has been updated (in this file the paths "/opt/local/bin" and "/opt/local/sbin" are added to the environment variable PATH) and all the macports files are in the directory "/opt". When I type "which port" in the shell, it returns "/opt/local/bin/port".
But something weird happens when I ask to install the port "octave-devel" (I've installed MacPorts to use Octave on my Mac in the first place). So when I enter the command "sudo port install octave-devel +atlas+docs" (as explained in GNU Octave wiki) in the terminal and type my password, the shell replies "Error: Port octave-devel not found". However the port "octave-devel" seems to exist because I've found its description on this page of the macports website.
Because I had to use Octave quickly I first wanted to uninstall MacPorts and install Fink instead and I tried the method described on the MacPorts website but after I typed "sudo port -fp uninstall installed" it returned "Error: No ports matched the given expression". I couldn't even uninstall this software! I really think that it is a problem of MacPorts itself and not the octave port but I can't find what exactly.
Eventually I used Octave on a Windows computer but it annoys me not to know what is wrong with MacPorts on my computer. And mainly, I want to be capable to use GNU Octave on my Mac because I need it for school.
Thank you in advance and happy holidays.
I'm not sure which version of OSX you are running, however, I have octave (not octave-devel) version 3.6.4 installed via macports on a machine running OSX 10.9.1. This was built using:
sudo port install octave
which yields a known bug building the atlas dependency that results from a missing fortran compiler. At this point you have two options. Before attempting to install octave first try to install atlas separately, either overriding the standard clang compiler with the gcc4x flag, or install atlas using:
sudo port install atlas +nofortran
which runs fine using clang. With atlas installed, octave should build to completion although there is a possibility that you will find an error regarding the use of arpack by apple as a vector library. Using +arpack is preferred, so it may be useful to load this by hand as well before starting your octave install.
Trying to install Octave using MacPorts I ran into a similar problem.
Summary
My solution was to first clean & build atlas separately using gcc47 instead of the default mpclang34. Then to build the default octave.
Details
This is on a MacBook running an older OS (10.7.5), the standard Octave (3.8.2) package failed to build - it hung on building the atlas dependency.
Solution:
sudo port clean atlas
sudo port -v install atlas +gcc48
sudo port -v install octave +atlas+docs
I'm currently going through the process of installing Octave via MacPorts. I used the following command which I found on Shifteleven.com:
sudo port install octave-devel +gcc45
It seems to be working so far. You also need to make sure you've installed the Xcode command line tools, which is something that I forgot to do the first time I tried.
I also ran into problems installing Octave using Macports on OSX 10.10.1 and solved them, similar to #Tom_N_PDX and #isak.
Short version
I got it working using one of the options described by #isak.
More detailed version
Running sudo port install octave failed because of the missing Fortran compiler problem.
I next installed Fortran using Macports sudo port install gcc48 and then tried re-installing Octave
sudo port clean octave
sudo port install octave
This "hung" on Atlas, as others have mentioned, although I now realize it just takes a long time and I killed it before it finished. Likely it would have worked, as the output said it had found Fortran
Selected C compiler: /usr/bin/clang
Selected F77 compiler: gfortran48
I then installed atlas separately, using the +gcc48 flag, as suggested by #isak
sudo port install atlas +gcc48
but it displayed the same compiler information as above (consistent with my conjecture that the above would have worked). This process took about 4 hours. You can monitor the progress of the task in the logfile (found with the command sudo port logfile atlas), which reassures you it's doing something and not "hung". (Oddly the output does halt mid-message, but it always eventually resumed. Also there were a lot of warning messages.)
Last, running the following worked:
sudo port clean octave
sudo port install +arpack
I actually first tried without the +arpack option and it worked but I got the following message, consistent with #isak's answer
WARNING: Dependency 'arpack' is installed with the +accelerate variant, using Apple's Vector Libraries which have some known bugs that can cause Octave to crash if using certain functions in arpack. The +atlas variant does not have these issues with Octave, but does take many hours to compile even on modern hardware.
When I reinstalled Octave with the +arpack flag it took less than a minute (because I had already installed Atlas).
I had a similar problem with MacPorts. I would recommend using HomeBrew instead. Here are the commands to install Octave on HomeBrew:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew update
brew upgrade
brew install octave
I've installed Google Chrome on Hardy via the .deb file and would like to configure apt-get for automatic updates.
[I have another machine running Ubuntu Karmic where this works fine; apt-get knows the package as 'google-chrome'; I'm now using a Dell Mini 10 with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS installed]
As part of the .deb install, two entries have been added to the third- party software sources tab:
http://dl.google.com/linux/deb stable main
http://dl.google.com/linux/deb stable non-free main
However if I check for updates with either of these clicked, I get the following error:
Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/dists/stable/Release Unable to find expected entry main/binary-lpia/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
There is a thread here which indicates others have had the same problem:
http://www.google.co.uk/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=097d103f87b49abe&hl=en
This references a further thread:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=38608
which suggests the problem has been fixed.
Despite this I remain unable to get it to work, and none of the suggested workarounds seem to work either.
Ideas ? Thanks.
I think the issue here is that the Ubuntu installaion on your Dell Mini uses LPIA (Low Power Intel Architecture) and the Google Software Repository doesn't provide the "google-chrome" package for this architecture. Hence apt-get is giving you an error. You will have to do the updates manually using the "google-chrome" package for the i386 architecture.
On another note, the following thread provides details about repackaging an i386 package for LPIA. I hope this helps.
