I am trying to run Neuraltalk2 on Ubuntu. But I am getting an error as follows:
parag#parag:~/torch$ sudo luarocks install nn
[sudo] password for parag:
Error: No results matching query were found.
I followed the following steps uptill now:
sudo curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torch/ezinstall/master/install-deps | bash
sudo git clone https://github.com/torch/distro.git ~/torch --recursive
sudo cd ~/torch;
sudo ./install.sh
sudo source ~/.bashrc
Please help!
Try running this all without sudo. The last line, especially, sudo source ~/.bashrc does not work because source is meant to operate on the shell you are currently running. If you run it with sudo, it will load .bashrc into the temporary subshell created by sudo (in practice having no effect).
Your error message indicates that luarocks was installed correctly, but it failed to find the rock. Make sure the name of the rock is correct, try searching it with the luarocks search command, and check your configuration running luarocks with no arguments (it will display the name of your config files in use, helping you to troubleshoot the issue).

I'm having a problem with the sudo command. When I launch sudo pwd, the output is /root instead of the directory from which the sudo command was launched.
The consequence is that when I try to run a script as a sudoer, it doesn't work because it doesn't run it with its full path.
Since the problem doesn't exist when I'm logged in as root, I deduce that the problem comes from the sudo application. Moreover, there is no issue with my PATH variable.
I tried removing sudo (yum remove sudo) and removed the /etc/sudoers.d repository and the /etc/sudoers files before reinstalling sudo, but the problem persists.
My shell outputs (toto.sh contains "echo toto")
[admin#localhost ~]$ ./toto.sh
toto
[admin#localhost ~]$ sudo ./toto.sh
-bash: ./toto.sh: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
[admin#localhost ~]$ su
[root#localhost admin]# ./toto.sh
toto
[root#localhost admin]# exit
[admin#localhost ~]$ sudo pwd
/root**
Could you please help me? BTW, I use CentOS 7.
I would like to automate a build - for now, during my development, so no security stuff involved.
I have created a script that moves libs to /usr/local/lib and issues ldd command.
These things require sudo.
Running the script from the builder (Qt Creator), I am not prompted to enter my sudo password, and I get the error
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
Sorry, try again.
I have found a few solutions to this but it just did not work... what am I missing ?
Exact code:
in myLib.pro
#temporary to make my life easier
QMAKE_POST_LINK = /home/me/move_libs_script
in move_libs_script:
#!/bin/bash
sudo cp $HOME/myLib/myLib.so.1 /usr/local/lib/
sudo ldconfig
I did as suggested by the answer above: edited visudo and added the script... even added qmake...
sudo visudo
added at the end:
me ALL=NOPASSWD: /home/me/move_libs_script, /usr/bin/qmake-qt4
It saved file: /etc/sudoers.tmp (and doing the command sudo visudo again I saw that my changes were kept so I am not sure what is with the tmp)
Still same errors
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
Sorry, try again.
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
Sorry, try again.
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
Sorry, try again.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
Sorry, try again.
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
Sorry, try again.

Edit: after asking the question I found a suggested similar question:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/10668693/1217150
So I tried to add a custom step...
Result:
09:50:03: Running build steps for project myLib...
09:50:03: Could not start process "ssh-askpass Sudo Password | sudo -S bash ./move_libs_script"
Error while building project myLib (target: Desktop)
When executing build step 'Custom Process Step'
(if I run from terminal I get asked for password)
New edit: so I thought I can outsmart the system and call a script that calls my script...
myLib.pro
QMAKE_POST_LINK = /home/me/sudo_move_libs_script
sudo_move_libs_script:
#!/bin/bash
ssh-askpass Sudo Password | sudo -S bash $HOME/move_libs_script
got it !!! I will post as answer i guess
New edit as answer to comment:
in mainExe.pro:
QMAKE_POST_LINK = ./link_lib
in link_lib:
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/myLib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Result: Executable fails because the lib is not to be found (of course before testing I emoved the copy from /usr/local/lib)
Solution 1:
To run the command I needed with sudo from Qt, and be asked for password
myLib.pro
QMAKE_POST_LINK = /home/me/sudo_move_libs_script
sudo_move_libs_script:
#!/bin/bash
ssh-askpass Sudo Password | sudo -S bash $HOME/move_libs_script
move_libs_script:
#!/bin/bash
cp $HOME/myLib/myLib.so.1 /usr/local/lib/
ldconfig
Solution 2
Avoid using sudo: run a custom executable from Qt Creator (just like I would when project is deployed) - I can execute my program with correct dependency. Unfortunately it does not work for debug.
In the Run Configuration, place a script "dummy_executable" instead the app executable:
dummy_executable:
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/myLib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$HOME/myExec/myExec "$#
This method is great for running the program ... unfortunately gdb fails... I think it tries to debug the shell script ? So it won't work if I try to step through my program.
Choosing Solution 1, because it has advantages: allows me to build and debug the program, which is what I really need, and with the dependencies set I get the library built before running the program - which is perfect.

I am trying to install Meteor on the HP14 Chromebook. It is a linx x86_64 chrome os system.
Each time I try to install it I run into errors.
The first time I tried to install it the installer just downloaded the Meteor preengine but never downloaded the tarball or installed the actual meteor application structure.
So, I decided to try as sudo.
sudo curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh
This definitely installed it because you can see it when ls
chronos#localhost ~/projects $ chronos#localhost ~/projects $ ls /home/chronos/user/.meteor/
bash: chronos#localhost: command not found
Now when I try to run meteor --version or meteor create myapp without sudo I get the following error.
````
chronos#localhost ~/projects $ meteor create myapp
'/home/chronos/user/.meteor' exists, but '/home/chronos/user/.meteor/meteor' is not executable.
Remove it and try again.
````
When I try to run sudo meteor --version or sudo meteor create myapp I get this error.
chronos#localhost ~/projects $ sudo meteor create myapp
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/root/.meteor-install-tmp’: Read-only file system
Any ideas? Thinking I have to make that partition writeable. I made partition 4 writeable.
Put your chrome book into dev mode.
http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices
Boot into dev mode.
ctrl-alt t to crosh
shell
sudo su -
cd /usr/share/vboot/bin/
./make_dev_ssd.sh --remove_rootfs_verification --partitions 4
reboot
After rebooting
sudo su -
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -o remount,exec /mnt/stateful_partition
Write yourself a read/write script
sudo vim /sbin/rw
#!/bin/bash
echo "Making FS Read/Write"
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
sudo mount -o remount,exec /mnt/stateful_partition
sudo mount -i -o remount,exec /home/chronos/user
echo "You should now have full Read/Write access"
exit
Change permissions on script
sudo chmod a+x /sbin/rw
Run to set read/write root
sudo rw
Install Meteor as indicated on www.meteor.com via curl and meteor create works!
Alternatively you can edit the chomeos_startup though that might not be the best idea. It is probably best to have read/write on demand as illustrated above.
cd /sbin sudo
sudo vim chromeos_startup
Go to lines 51 and 58 and remove the noexec options from the mount command.
Down at the bottom of the script, above the note about ureadahead and below the if statement, add in:
mount -o remount,exec /mnt/stateful_partition
#uncomment this to mount root r/w on boot
mount -o remount,rw /
Again, editing chromeos_startup probably isn't the best idea unless you are so lazy you can't type sudo rw.
Enjoy.
This is super easy to fix!!
Just run this (or put it in .bashrc or .zshrc to make it permanent):
sudo mount -i -o remount,exec /home/chronos/user
Based on your question (you are using sudo) I assume you already have Dev Mode enabled, which is required for the above sudo command to work.
ChromeOS mounts the home folder using the noexec option by default, and this command remounts it with exec instead. And boom, Meteor will work just fine after that (and so will a bunch of other programs running out of your home folder).

I have the following script for some number crunching
#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y r-base r-base-dev htop s3cmd p7zip-full
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/#######/###.7z
7z e ###.7z
sudo R CMD BATCH --slave --no-timing --vanilla "--args 0 1 100 200 500 2" SOME-ROUTINE.R
s3cmd put *.results s3://#########/
on EC2. I upload the script as file at the Launch Instance->Instance Details->User Data
The machine fires up, updates and upgrades but then it does not execute wget and does not download the file. When i SSH in the Instance and run the exact same commands the process completes without problems.
Any ideas why wget does not work?
Any other alternatives?
EC
It is always a bit of guessing, but here is how I would debug this:
My first suggestion would be to check for special characters in the S3 URL. This might cause the wget call to fail.
Second, I would give an explicit output path to wget with the -O option. While you are editing the command, you can also add -o to output logging information.
Last step is to check your access rights to the S3 bucket. Perhaps you can try to put the file on another webspace to see if the command executes then.
I need to run node on my Ubuntu machine with sudo access. The directory of node is in the sudo path but when trying to run it i get a command not found. I can explicitly call node which does work.
//works
node
>
which node
/root/local/node/bin/node
echo sudo $PATH
sudo /root/local/node/bin:/usr/bin/node:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
sudo node --version
sudo: node: command not found
//explicitly calling it works
sudo node /root/local/node/bin

Um, I don't think there's such a thing as a "sudo path" - your second command there is just echoing "sudo" followed by your regular path. In any case, if you're running things with sudo you really, really should not depend on a path - you should give the explicit pathname for every command and file argument whenever possible, to minimize security risks. If sudo doesn't want to run something, you need to use visudo to add it to /etc/sudoers.
