Chromium infinitely loading extensions? - memory

I just recently updated my raspberry pi 2 model b using the command sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade shortly after, I opened up chromium to do something, and it came up with the “Aw, snap!” Page. Along with it came a box in the upper right corner of my monitor, which said something about an extension having crashed. This extension I have on other devices, but have never put it on this device. Anyway I was just wondering if there was some way to remove this extension without opening up chromium? Thanks for the help, and my apologies for being such a noob :)

The Cytoscape v3.9.0 application does not start

I have a question regarding Cytoscape. I just downloaded the newest version (v3.9.0) for Windows, but I am not able to open the actual application. Before I used v3.6.1 which ran perfectly fine, but I want to make use of the KEGGscape app which requires Cytoscape v3.8.0 or higher.
I have deleted the previous installation of Cytoscape, as well as made sure the cache was cleared. In addition, I downloaded the correct version of Java (Java version 11) and checked the system requirements with the script available on the website, which summarised: "Succes! You are ready to run Cytoscape 3.9.0."
So I am not exactly sure what I am missing and why it is not starting and hope anyone can help.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Sorry to hear you are having problems. When you say it doesn't start, does it correctly install, and the application doesn't start when you double-click it, or does the installer never start? If it's the former -- Cytoscape installs, but doesn't start, you could try opening up a console window and run cytoscape.bat from the directory that you installed it. That should give us more information about what the problem is. There should also be a file called framework-cytoscape.log in the CytoscapeConfiguration\3\ directory in your home. That will give us more information also.

Paros is not running

I installed Paros. At first, it worked fine. However, from the second start, Paros will start and automatically turn off after a few seconds. I also tried to reinstall but the installer will automatically turn off. Why is that?
Window 10 64bit
I install 32bit java.
Any particular reason for using Paros? Its not been updated for over 10 years.
You'll be much better off using OWASP ZAP, which was forked from Paros in 2010, is free, open source and is very actively maintained: https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy/

Xamarin.Forms - Deploy via e-mail giving me fits

I made a nice (aren't they all) app using VS 2013, debugged, tested etc. without much fuss and muss.
Now I want to pass it out to some friends for reality check, and so used the VS2015.Tools.Android.Publish Android App... feature.
I followed the instructions, got a Release build signed APK (and a non-signed APK too). I e-mailed the signed APK to myself on the Motorola Razr Turbo, and installed just fine.
However, it does not run. It just flashes up then terminates. I have reviewed the Xamarin instructions and tried a number of things but I am blocked for now. This app runs fine on the same phone after I have deployed it during development (Release build as well as Debug).
I feel I am missing something obvious to all those who have traveled this path before, and really would appreciate a pointer to a happier place.
Two things to check:
I often have to uninstall the previous version of the app (the one deployed during debugging/development).
Also, if the app requires some special permissions, check that those are still allowed.
Got it! Ah yes, have to run the old zipalign on the signed package. Help here (thanks Nigel) took me to use LogCat, and there was the problem. Found some more help at:
https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/4169/apk-no-longer-working-on-device
and put together a batch file to run it; one line:
"C:\Users\mike\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\23.0.3\zipalign.exe" -f -v 4 ./bin/Release/MyFineApp.SoNice-Signed.apk ./WillRunNow.apk

OSX Terminal hanging? - Taking a long time to do tasks

I am trying to install Ruby and do various things, i have found that terminal takes a hell of a long time to do any tasks and sometimes it doesn't complete anything, aka hangs.
"Mys-MacBook-Air:~ Main$ rbenv install 2.2.0
Downloading ruby-2.2.0.tar.gz...
-> http://dqw8nmjcqpjn7.cloudfront.net/7671e394abfb5d262fbcd3b27a71bf78737c7e9347fa21c39e58b0bb9c4840fc
Installing ruby-2.2.0..."
Then this sits for ages without showing me any feedback. It will do this with many things, including node setup and other things i have tried. Sometimes it doesn't do anything and i need to start a whole new terminal with CMD + N, Is it taking a long to download or is it installing without giving feedback? Is it normal for OSX to do this? My internet speed is 10 down so i wouldn't think it is the net.
Also, sometimes when i have finished doing something, like running a server, terminal will not go onto a new line meaning i have to reopen a new window every time, is there a way to restart the command line so i can begin typing commands again?
First off, compiling Ruby can take a while, especially on slower machines. On my new Macbook (maxed out), 2.1.5 took about 8 minutes to install.
To answer your question however, you can monitor that the machine is doing work using Activity Monitor (under Applications/Utilities) or use terminal tools like top or htop, the latter of which can be installed via homebrew. You could also use screen or tmux to background the job if you don't like the idea of opening a new tab.

How to run two instances of GitBash on Windows 8?

so I'm going through the onemonthrails online classes, however I've run into a problem.
Unlike when using a Mac, It's not possible to create a separate 'tab' to continue working whilst the rails server is running or in general. So I've tried just opening another GitBash window like the tutorial suggests, from the programs/apps menu in Windows 8 (whilst the other one is running) but no luck.
Apologies if this is a dumb questions, but am I missing something obvious?
Once you have a GitBash tile in the taskbar, click it while holding Shift to open additional instances.
You should be able to open another app window. Maybe just make sure you're in desktop mode.
Though. If you're going to work on windows for a while, you better start setting up your environment correctly. Honestly, you don't want to use cmd.exe.
Instead, use Console2 wrapping a Powershell prompt. Console2 will allow you to use tabs like Unix prompts. There's a guide to setting this up correctly here: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/Console2ABetterWindowsCommandPrompt.aspx
Also, as you'll now be using Powershell, customize your prompt! For this, I suggest you install Posh-git.
And! To install all this easily and be a windows awesome user, install Chocolatey and install these programs using it :)
