ubuntu-1804 | FREE Course Linux Ubuntu Server 18.04.x LTS | Script Programming library

I'm trying to create a Compute Engine VM instance sample in Google Cloud that has an associated startup script startup_script.sh. On startup, I would like to have access to files that I have stored in a Cloud Source Repository. As such, in this script, I clone a repository using

I have a python script that periodically scans a folder for processing by ffmpeg. I decided to turn this into a systemd service. The script ran fine on the command-line but throws a BlockingIOError when I try to run it as a service. In an effort to figure out the issue, I boiled the script down to an almost hello world example and I'm still getting the same results. Here is what I have:

foobar.py

1. I have enabled "Windows Subsystem for Linux"
2. I have switched to "Developer mode" restarted my PC.

3. Downloaded a Linux system (Ubuntu) I PowerShell -

   Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/wsl-ubuntu-1804-lte -OutFile Ubuntu.appx -UseBasicParsing

   Add-AppxPackage .\Ubuntu.appx

4. Run Linux inside Windows 10 - DOESN'T WORK

When I run bash command from my console I get the following:

It looks like that the bash and ubuntu is installed but doesn't work

EDITED: I also get this error:

I'm trying to stream a webpage to YouTube using phantomjs and ffmpeg.
Long question short:

This works. The video is saved to test.flv:

On Ubuntu 18.04 I am attempting to update from dotnet 3.0 to 3.1. I have been thru the process described here several times but it simply doesn't appear to work. I get the following result:

Is there a way for a shell script to determine if it is called from a terminal in a virtual machine running Ubuntu, or a W10 terminal using the bash call (installed Ubuntu app in W10)?

I am working in both environments and have a lot of useful shell scripts to make my work more efficient on the virtual machine, e.g. opening specific URLs or running sets of commands. I would like them to work on the Windows side as well. However, my scripts sets up directories which will have to be different on my Windows side.

I have installed the ubuntu app from Windows Store, which allows me to open a bash window and source the files. I could just check if ~ returns an empty string, but is there a more robust way of doing it?

I am running Windows 10, version 17763 and using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

E.g.

C:\.sourceThis.sh

I need to run windows for video editing but I also do some coding. Linex is a beast and I would love to be able to use WSL on my windows computer and be able to do ssh from WSL. I am trying to start a thread where people can go to and follow the steps for WSL and Github ssh on windows. Can someone help me figure out what I am doing wrong so others can use WSL and Github as well?

My steps:

1. Reset windows
2. go to this site and install WSL https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 I chose Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/ubuntu-1804-lts/9n9tngvndl3q?rtc=1&activetab=pivot:overviewtab
3. set up and upgrade Ubuntu:
   sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
4. Installed VS Code using this website: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/wsl
5. INstalled the Remote Development Pack: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.vscode-remote-extensionpack
6. Set up gitbash on windows using defaults
7. Set up git ssh with this site:https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/checking-for-existing-ssh-keys
8. Did a git clone made changes and pushed to master just to make sure everything work, It does.
9. added a .gitattributes file to repo

I'm trying to utilize the nested virtualization feature on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), however I was unsuccessful when attempting to use it. Here's the procedure I followed, according to the GCP documentation:

1. Create a new disk, based on Ubuntu 18 LTS image
2. Create a new image from the disk, applying the vmx license
3. Create a new VM instance from the image
4. Check if nested virtualization is supported, using the cpu-checker package in Ubuntu

Resources being used: 1 vCPU, 3.75 GB, 1 K80 GPU. (for instance template) Region: Asia east1. Image: ubuntu-1804-bionic-v20190918. (for instance template)

I'm currently trying to create an instance group which spans across all 3 Asia-east zones. The creation fails and the error message given is "A required resource is not available.".

This message is very vague, is there any way to pinpoint what exactly is the cause of this error? If any further information is needed about my environment feel free to ask.
