I Am Trying To Create A Fedora Live USB Using Ubuntu 14.04 But It's Not So Easy

One week user of Ubuntu v15 and I have tried to install the file Python-3.5.0a1.tar gz but without success. The following points have arisen.
1). The file was downloaded. OK
2). The file was extracted to the Desktop as Python-3.5.0a1
3). Using sudu apt-get install Python-3.5.0a1, the message 'file not found'. Why not!
4). Looking into the extracted files it seems that this is a source package and therefore cannot be installed as is?
5). Finally, using the bash command 'find' it could not find the above file either.
Can someone kindly sort this out for me.
Thanks.

hello Experts!
need some help here with python FTP. so what i'm trying to do is, from a linux machine, ill be sending over a python script to a windows machine via python ftp. that works fine with no problem. now, i want to execute that python script i sent remotely. im having trouble with that. here's my code to just execute the script:

p.s : please dont suggest other options such as python paramiko due to many network security reasons

Code:

ftp = ftplib.FTP("windows machine name")
ftp.login("username", "password")
ftp.cwd("where\\python\\script\\is kept\\")

ftp.sendcmd("python myscript.py")

but looks like it doesn't recognize that command. how do i accomplish this please?

Okay so I am having major issues getting python to work on Ubuntu 12.04 and other programs I want to run exclusively on this system. Just so you all know - I do not understand computer lingo much so I have a million definitions and how to's . I've kind of been thrown in the deep end on something and the I.T. guru (sorry for the frustration - but effectively this boso worked for MY company) belittled me basically calling me stupid & incapable of being able to configure a basic desktop system.

Anyways my ex from years ago also worked in I.T and played with different operating systems at 1 point so I had used Linux before and remembered it was geared to what I needed. I have installed 12.04 (trialled the latest 14 version as well but opted for the older one for more guidance. So I have everything I need for what I am doing except for 1 minor detail. I am so confused on entering the command lines

can anyone guide me to where there's a really simple straight forward guide to getting 2 programs to run and python to work? I know it's just entering command prompts so to speak but I can't get them to work or know the file directories for the locations of the programs.

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!!!

I have configured RHEL cluster by installing ricci and luci server. I have successfully tested it for httpd service. Now my target is to achive the HA of python. Can anyone help me with it?

I'm running Debian wheezy. I have Dropbox installed, but it won't run on startup. I downloaded their CLI script dropbox.py, and if I use

Code:

python dropbox.py start

then it starts. I'm trying to use that to get it to run at startup. I have tried editing .profile, and crontab, but it doesn't work and I don't know what else to try. Is it a permissions issue? (I tried making dropbox.py executable and adding python to visudo) or do I need to have some other command to run it at startup?

I appreciate the help!

I have just installed Debian "jessie" as well as Python 2.7.9. I have all the OpenSSL packages and I thought everything was working fine until I tried to hit the server using a browser (Chrome) and https://; Once I did that I got this error message on the server end, and ideas on how to resolve this would be great.

Incoming web connection from ('192.168.15.177', 53202)
error: uncaptured python exception, closing channel <main.AlarmServer listening :8111 at 0x75ea7b48> (:certfile must be specified for server-side operations [/usr/lib/python2.7/asyncore.py|read|83] [/usr/lib/python2.7/asyncore.py|handle_read_event|443] [./alarmserver.py|handle_accept|456] [/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py|wrap_socket|891] [/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py|init|498])

I am running a headless Linux 17 media/NAS server. I have setup and tested the plexconnect script and it works. My only issue is that I can't figure out how to get the script to automatically run on startup. I tried using the GUI, but it doesn't seem to work.

To get it to work, I have to open terminal and navigate to the directory:

/usr/local/lib/PlexConnect/

Then run: sudo ./PlexConnect.py

The window has to remain open in order to keep running (which isn't an issue as it's headless). I'd just like to not have to login and start it each time the power goes out, or is rebooted.

I tried editing the crontab file and adding the following variations with no luck:
@reboot python /usr/local/lib/PlexConnect/PlexConnect.py
@reboot /usr/local/lib/PlexConnect/PlexConnect.py

Neither has worked. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hi
I am using Cinnamon desktop on the top of arch linux. I wanted to load a python script at desktop login which informs me about battery stats, so I created a batterymonitor.desktop entry under ~/.config/autostart. The contents of batterymonitor.desktop a
Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=python /home/<myusername>/scripts/battery_monitor.py
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_US]=BatteryMonitor
Name=BatteryMonitor
Comment[en_US]=
Comment=
X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=0

But the problem is that the script is not loading at cinnamon login. I have also confirmed that the script is executable.
Can you help to load this script at cinnamon login?
Regards

Hello,
Am desperately seeking my Python sketches that have disappeared into the SD-Card on a RaspberryPi that blocked. Realised now that it had become full. I have saved everything onto a laptop running Windows 8.1 and uncompressed various root.tar.xz files in Raspbian, Pidora, etc with 7-Zip.
I have looked numerous times through the Raspbian file and others but can find no trace. Do you have any idea where they might be. It was a NOOBs Card that I did not expand because I am a RPi novice but amateur coder in lots of different languages.
Any help would be gratefully received, Walter

I am trying to code a python script that does:- Using root account logs into multiple servers provided in a list. Check the OS type e.g. Linux, Solaris, HP-UX and Windows. Depending on the OS type it updates the name servers and options in /etc/resolv.conf. The update is done from a list that is also provided.

Any help is much appreciated.
