#my favourite error was 'python does not have python installed'

[consistantly-changing]

Some things I will add regarding the Tumblr Utils method:

If you have other python software installed, you might need to remove them lest your computer have an issue with which version of Python to run the script on, I had to remove a C++ emulator which was clashing with the python for some reason, though admittedly that program never actually worked for me.

Use the command window rather than trying to download and run the code yourself, the link in the document points to a version of the code that was incompatible with the current Python version I was using and I wasted close to two hours trying to force it to run before giving up.

The API key request appears to be automatic, so you don't have to wait for one of the few remaining staff members to personally authorize you.

This is the current line of code that works to backup your account:

tumblr-backup --save-audio --save-video --tag-index --incremental blog-name

Replace "blog-name" with your blog name.

save-audio and save-video are self explanatory, however I did encounter some issues with posts where videos couldn't be saved. The program will give you a post number pointing to which post couldn't be saved, so if you wish you can go and save those videos/audios through a different method. tag-index creates an index of every tag you've ever used, which is helpful but also note that it means every tag. incremental is perhaps the most useful one, as it allows you to keep updating the backup. The document uses --i, which according to the script I ran is no longer used.

Good wifi is absolutely recommended as this thing ate up most of my bandwidth and took nearly 3 days for about 91000 posts. Another important command, especially if you have wifi troubles, is

tumblr-backup --save-audio --save-video --tag-index --continue blog-name

If ever your command is interrupted, this allows the program to continue from where the last increment stopped. I made a notepad file containing these two lines and just copied + pasted them any time the program crashed.

You can use your computer while this runs, I set mine up with a power connection and disabled the auto shutdown feature. I do recommend doing this, it's not difficult as long as you don't have the world's most unique computer problems like I did.

Btw much as I love to make fun of twitter and reddit's business decisions, I have 0% trust in tumblr's management to not go a similar route so this is your gentle reminder that you should regularly go to your blog settings to export your blog. That's a fancy way of saying you can download a backup of your blog so if everything goes down you'll still have a backup of your posts & convos.

I had a great week. The new wx build is ready for all users, and I am back to normal schedule and work.

wx

Last week, I updated the client to an important new version of my user interface library, wxPython. It was a big change, so several bugs (tag lookup scripts broken, missing taglist scrollbars, and empty client->external file drag-and-drop were the big ones) and even a couple of crashes fell through the cracks. I believe I have now fixed pretty much everything, and I am much happier with the whole build in general, so I now recommend it for all users, including first-time users.

Please note that I fell back to Ubuntu 16.04 for my Linux build environment, and several users on different flavours report they can now run my build (the one linked above) when they previously could not. I believe this is true for some Arch users as well, which has previously been a real problem. If you have had trouble running hydrus in Linux from source (or getting the new wx going), please try the build, as you may find it just works now.

To repeat from last week: there is not a huge amount different in appearance with the new library version, but the behind-the-scenes works a lot better. There is less flickery and clunky behaviour all-around, and I've rewritten some auxilliary systems to use less CPU and memory. It was a lot of work, but I am pleased with this final result. I am feeling more enthusiastic about a similar update to Python 3 sometime this year.

Thank you to all the users who reported issues and the quick turnaround when I needed more information. If anything you reported is still happening or you discover any new crash conditions or anything, please let me know!

url classes

I got back to work on the downloader overhaul and was able to finish the new 'URL class' concept, which is a system that will eventually let any user define a site's URLs for the new downloader engine to recognise and interact with.

I have created default url classes for (I think) all the sites the client supports when you first install, and when you update, you will receive these defaults. When you next open the media viewer on a file with known urls, instead of seeing a list of web domains in the top-right URL list, you will get prettier 'gelbooru file page' or 'deviant art file page' for any recognised URL.

Please note that if you have played around with this system yourself, the update here will completely overwrite whatever you might have previously created with the new defaults. If you want to keep something, please export it in your current version before updating so you can reimport it afterwards.

misc

The options dialog now has an 'importing' page that lets you set up default 'file import options' for quiet and loud import contexts. If you prefer your page imports to only show new or inbox files, for instance, you can now set this as the default easily. You can also set up the 'exclude deleted' and minimum resolution and the other settings as well. The old 'exclude deleted' setting is removed from the 'files and trash' option page and reset to YES in both import contexts, so you if you typically do not exclude previously delete file imports, please check these new file import settings.

I have fixed an issue where thread watchers could pause themselves on certain network errors when trying to recheck. This was hitting some people on waking their computers--a bunch of their threads would check, but the computer had not yet initialised the network, and the threads would hit the error and all pause themselves. This could also happen during any other long network disconnection situation. So, thread watchers now catch network-related errors more cleverly and do a similar 'delay' system as subscriptions--they'll just wait four hours before trying again (although you can hit 'check now' to override this). Thread watchers also now prepend their names with a pause symbol, '⏸', whenever they are paused. You can set this prefix to be something else under options->downloading, like with the [DEAD] and [404] states.

full list

fixed an issue where scrollbars were only appearing on taglists after a resize event

fixed the raw filename component of file drag and drop events from the client to external programs

fixed the tag lookup scripts

fixed some wx menuhighlight issues

improved some shutdown code

fixed the add/edit namespace colours options panel, which needed to be updated to deal with the new wx's better alpha channel reporting

fixed an issue when hitting 'open externally' on a media collection

fixed a crash on client shutdown whenever closed pages were in the undo menu

think I fixed another shutdown crash

fixed a rare issue with the collect by dropdown not being able to generate a string to display

misc wx fixes

added a 'importing' page to the options dialog, which now sets the default file import options for quiet and loud file import contexts

the old and no longer used 'exclude deleted files' option is now removed from the 'files and trash' panel

finished off default url matches for all downloaders that come with the program--these will be set on update, so if you have custom ones, please export them before you update so you can import them again!

improved how urls are matched and presented for the user in the media viewer

added a 'delete "successful" file imports from the queue' entry to the file import status button right-click menu--this only removes 'successful' and 'already in db', leaving anomalies

improved locale instantiation in the client and added locale strings to the help->about dialog

you can now set the page name prefix for a paused thread checker. it defaults to a unicode pause character: ⏸

thread watchers will no longer pause on a network error during a check--they now have a 'delay' system like subscriptions, and on a network error, they will delay four hours (unless you hit 'check now')

patched in some simple 'connection cutoff' network error handling, we'll see how it does

wrote in some more proper error handling for a specific connection cutoff error that is being produced

the similar files search tree regen code now clears out orphaned files. if you have had blank 'unknown' files appear in similar files searches, please run database->regen->similar files search tree

bitmap buttons on download pages will now update using less CPU and will flicker less

improved some video rendering error reporting

fixed the 'author name' regex favourite default, which had a superfluous asterisk. if you would like to fix it yourself, please try: [^\\]+(?=\s-)

added 'flush log' debug command

client.pyw now makes a safe 'system' ui error popup if it fails to boot

next week

With the url classes now in place, I will start integrating it into the existing downloader engine. When the client can intelligently recognise any kind of url and match it to a parsing solution, we can start swapping in the new parsing engine and begin supporting downloads for any user-defined site.

Reacting to @ReactOS

I decided to have a play with ReactOS. ReactOS is a free open-source operating system built from the ground up.  It is an attempt to be a legal, community-driven Windows replacement. The current version (0.4.7) is in Alpha, so don't expect everything to work as expected.

ReactOS desktop in Virtual Box looking very Windows NT-like

Getting started First, you will need to download the ReactOS ISO file which you can get from the ReactOS website. Secondly, you will want to run your copy of ReactOS in a virtual machine. I choose to use Virtual Box. Please note that I could not get my version of ReactOS to connect to my home internet under Virtual Box, however, I downloaded one of the Nightly versions (0.4.9-dev) and this fixed the problem. Maybe it will for you too, but I recommend that you try one of the stable releases first. First impressions Yay! ReactOS looks and feels like an early version of Windows, somewhere around Windows-ME era but with modern OS features. One of the first things you will want to do is to install a browser. New applications can be installed from the built-in 'Applications Manager'. Although I managed to get (an older version of) Firefox working, it often hangs the machine or crashes making it almost unworkable. I might try an alternative solution to this in the near future, but for now, it may influence whether I continue to with this experiment.

One of many problems I am having with Firefox under ReactOS. Incidentally, this is one of my favourite error messages. It is up there with 'silly' on the BBC micro (try AUTO 10,0 for that one) and the Amiga's Guru Meditation.

Another thing that I am having difficulty with is in creating new user accounts. The system wants me to log into the 'Administrator' account, and although it lets me create other user accounts, it does not give me the option of logging into them when the machine first starts. I guess that this feature has not yet been built yet. Stuff that works There are plenty of open-source apps available from the application manager that will allow your version of ReactOS to behave like a useful machine. I have tried the following with some success: Python 3.4 Yup. Python works, look!

Notepad ++ Probably the best light-weight open-source text editor for general purpose computing. Media I've managed to get Audacity, VLC player and WinAmp running but not without problems with audio devices on the virtual machine. So that's the most important part of the software not working then... Open Office It is no surprise that there is an open-source office suite for ReactOS. I have tried most of this and found it to be working well.

Some old favourites There are a few applications that come bundled with ReactOS, with most of them being no surprise: Calculator, Notepad, Wordpad and Paint being the most notable. Oh yes, and there's minesweeper and solitaire for the full retro experience.

I think that it is a shame that there is no 'card file', but then again, I don't think that was ever in the Windows NT OS, so my complaint is rather moot.

Final Remarks Well, it has certainly been a fun experiment. Enough of this Alpha version of ReactOS works well enough to be useful and I will look forward to future developments. If you have found this post interesting, then you might like to watch this video from 'explaining computers dot com'. It goes into much more detail about how to get started as well as some other trouble-shooting hints and a successful attempt to install an old version of Photoshop. +1 Geek Experience point awarded to Explaining Computers.

If you are staying with us, then you might like to read about installing Ubuntu on a virtual machine, or perhaps you are more interested in another Operating System instead. via Blogger http://ift.tt/2IfbGKy http://ift.tt/2p31wny

Reviews:

“The instructor knows what he is doing and is giving a very good overview over the important things to do the scripting But I missed a few more bash specifics or linux specifics, it had too much basic programming knowledge sections for me And I found it a bit irritating, that all videos seemed to be done in the first shot with all errors and rambling included” (Tobias Metz)

“Good so far, but almost no tasks/exams to do. (like build a script that does X Y Z, and afterwards here is the solution…) I think that such exams are important to have after each section. But apart from that, the instructor is great and explains everything very well and clear, and gives useful information and examples. P.S Also so far (about 50% of the course) not much actual Linux commands that often used in scripts, like “cut” “grep” and also no regex (like “sed”)” (Maxim Bardin)

“I am truly enjoying this tutorial and I have been successful with installing Fedora version 23 and configuring it. I am growing more confident with my abilities in bash and my goal is to take the redhat course and to pass the redhat exam.” (Michael McCollum)
