Upgrading node and yarn

Posted on 11 March 2021 by kosmas

Problem

You are getting the following error when trying to use yarn:

$ yarn
yarn install v1.21.1
[1/5] Validating package.json...
error xxxxx@: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "^10.0.0". Got "8.10.0"
error Found incompatible module.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/install for documentation about this command.

SHELL
​x
 
$ yarnyarn install v1.21.1[1/5] Validating package.json...error xxxxx@: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "^10.0.0". Got "8.10.0"error Found incompatible module.info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/install for documentation about this command.

Solution

Upgrade yarn

$ curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
[sudo] password for username: 
OK

$ echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

SHELL
 
$ curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -[sudo] password for username: OK​$ echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.listdeb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main​$ sudo apt-get update$ sudo apt-get upgrade​

Which should give the updated yarn version:

$ yarn
yarn install v1.22.5
[1/5] Validating package.json...
error xxxxx@: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "^10.0.0". Got "8.10.0"

Upgrade node version with the correct version from above (ie 10.0.0)

$ curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -

$ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
....
The following packages will be upgraded:
  nodejs
...

HTML
 
$ curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -​$ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs....The following packages will be upgraded:  nodejs...

And then the needed versions would have been installed:

$ yarn
yarn install v1.22.5
[1/5] Validating package.json...
[2/5] Resolving packages...
success Already up-to-date.
Done in 0.90s.

Find the current AMI image (i.e. Ubuntu 16.04) in AWS using command line

Posted on 17 January 2021 by kosmas

If you would like to programatically find the current image of a specific distribution in AWS for your region, with the use of the aws cli, use the following (in this example looking for Ubuntu 16.04).

aws ec2 describe-images \
    --owners 099720109477 \
    --filters "Name=name,Values=ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-????????" "Name=state,Values=available" \
    --query "reverse(sort_by(Images, &CreationDate))[:1].ImageId" \
    --output text

SHELL
 
aws ec2 describe-images \    --owners 099720109477 \    --filters "Name=name,Values=ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-????????" "Name=state,Values=available" \    --query "reverse(sort_by(Images, &CreationDate))[:1].ImageId" \    --output text

Or for 18.04

aws ec2 describe-images \
    --owners 099720109477 \
    --filters "Name=name,Values=ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-bionic-18.04-amd64-server-????????" "Name=state,Values=available" \
    --query "reverse(sort_by(Images, &CreationDate))[:1].ImageId" \
    --output text

SHELL
 
aws ec2 describe-images \    --owners 099720109477 \    --filters "Name=name,Values=ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-bionic-18.04-amd64-server-????????" "Name=state,Values=available" \    --query "reverse(sort_by(Images, &CreationDate))[:1].ImageId" \    --output text

This is from the examples in the documentation here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/finding-an-ami.html

To install the latest/current versions of erlang (23.0.2) and elixir (1.10.3), follow the instructions below:

Install asdf ( full instructions https://asdf-vm.com/#/core-manage-asdf-vm):

git clone https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git ~/.asdf --branch v0.7.8

SHELL
 
git clone https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git ~/.asdf --branch v0.7.8

Add the following two lines in your ~/.bashrc file:

# Add asdf version manager 
. $HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh
. $HOME/.asdf/completions/asdf.bash

SHELL
 
# Add asdf version manager . $HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh. $HOME/.asdf/completions/asdf.bash

Reload/Source your bash file with

source ~/.bashrc

SHELL
 
source ~/.bashrc

Install the erlang plugin

asdf plugin add erlang

SHELL
 
asdf plugin add erlang

If you get the following warnings:

...

Cannot login to MariaDB server with root account

Posted on 5 June 2019 by kosmas

Problem

You are trying to login to MariaDB with the root user, but even after resetting the password, it is still not possible to login.

Solution

It seems that certain MariaDB packages that come with Linux distributions use the unix_socket as the authentication method.

MariaDB [mysql]> SELECT user, host, plugin FROM user WHERE user='root';
+------+-----------+-------------+
| user | host      | plugin      |
+------+-----------+-------------+
| root | localhost | unix_socket |
+------+-----------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Change the plugin as described here (https://stackoverflow.com/a/43424234) with the following:

MariaDB [mysql]> UPDATE mysql.user SET plugin = '' WHERE user = 'root';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1  Changed: 1  Warnings: 0

Problem

You would like to know the codename (release) name of your Debian/Ubuntu system. Running cat /etc/issue will give you the release version but not the number.

Solution

Run the following command to get your release name:

lsb_release -cs

Problem

Looking at your /var/log/syslog you see entries every few seconds like the following:

Mar  1 15:44:52 L530 systemd-udevd[11464]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event': No such file or directory
Mar  1 15:44:52 L530 systemd-udevd[11451]: Process 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' failed with exit code 2.
Mar  1 15:44:54 L530 systemd-udevd[11479]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event': No such file or directory
Mar  1 15:44:54 L530 systemd-udevd[11466]: Process 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' failed with exit code 2.

Solution

Seems that hal is not used in newer Ubuntu versions, so you can remove it:

sudo apt-get purge hal
