Cranpkg - script for installing R libraries

Hi everyone,
I have created a script for installing R libraries using pacman. You can download it at http://allan.mcrae.googlepages.com/cranpkg (currently v0.3.0).
For example, the "genetics" library is installed using
> cranpkg -i genetics
CRANPKG v0.2

This should be fairly robust against failures and leave log files in /tmp/cranpkg if anything fails. Please let me know if you run into trouble with this.
There a a few variables that you may need to modify at the top of the script. For example, the mirror you wish to download from.
Wget is used by default for the downloading and package installation is done with a "sudo pacman" command.
Any problems/success please let me know.

Here is some information on cranpkg status at v0.2:
Installs and loads fine in R:
adegenet, allelic, ape, bayesSurv, classifly, coda, combinat, e1071, gdata, gee, genetics, glpk, gstat, gtools, HardyWeinberg, kinship, mcmc, mvtnorm, nortest, qtl, reshape, RGtk2, smoothSurv, sp, tree.
Installs but fails to load in R:
graph, rggobi
Thats greater than 90% success rate... The packages that fail to load have no files in them (pacman -Ql <pkg> returns nothing).
Update: graph requires R>=2.6.0 (latest) which hasn't made it to Arch yet. rggobi require external software called ggobi so fails. These errors are caught in v0.2.1.

Not able to push batch script for installing IIS all features using SCCM 2012 task sequence

Hey Guys, I am working for this from a long time but not able to make it work, I am using following batch script for installing IIS using SCCM 2012 task sequence:
Dism.exe /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:IIS-WebServerRole /FeatureName:IIS-WebServerRole /FeatureName:IIS-WebServer /FeatureName:IIS-ApplicationDevelopment /FeatureName:IIS-Security /FeatureName:IIS RequestFiltering /FeatureName:IIS-NetFxExtensibility

/FeatureName:IIS-ManagementConsole /FeatureName:IIS-ManagementScriptingTools /FeatureName:IISIIS6ManagementCompatibility /FeatureName:IIS-ManagementService /FeatureName:IIS-Metabase /FeatureName:IIS-WMICompatibility
When I run this script as admin by right click on it and select "run as a administrator" the script works fine but when I pushed the script as a software package or a step in OSD task sequence, nothing happens. I also tried
run command line option but no luck. Please help me with this.
Thanks,

Write-Progress in PowerShell script for installing Missing Updates

Hi, I had a previous question here
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/88931488-3b2c-4c08-9ad3-6651ba9bbcef/action?threadDisplayName=progress-indicator-for-installing-missing-sccm-2012-r2-updates
But that method is not working as expected. The progress bar displays then continues to increment past 100 throwing an error each time.
I'm thinking I could use a foreach loop for the missing updates but I'm just lost when it comes to Powershell syntax.
For example:
# Get the number of missing updates
[System.Management.ManagementObject[]] $CMMissingUpdates = @(GWMI -ComputerName $server -query "SELECT * FROM CCM_SoftwareUpdate WHERE ComplianceState = '0'" -namespace "ROOT\ccm\ClientSDK") #End Get update count.
$result.UpdateCountBefore = "The number of missing updates is $($CMMissingUpdates.count)"
#Install missing updates.
#Begin example code, not tested.
Foreach ($update in $CMMissingUpdates)
$i++
If ($CMMissingUpdates.count) {
$CMInstallMissingUpdates = (GWMI -ComputerName $server -Namespace "root\ccm\clientsdk" -Class "CCM_SoftwareUpdatesManager" -List).InstallUpdates($CMMissingUpdates)
Do {
Start-Sleep -Seconds 15
[array]$CMInstallPendingUpdates = @(GWMI -ComputerName $server -query "SELECT * FROM CCM_SoftwareUpdate WHERE EvaluationState = 6 or EvaluationState = 7" -namespace "ROOT\ccm\ClientSDK")
#end my example code.
#The code below is working to install updates but Write-Progress isn't.
If ($CMMissingUpdates.count) {
#$result.UpdateCountBefore = "The number of missing updates is $($CMMissingUpdates.count)"
$CMInstallMissingUpdates = (GWMI -ComputerName $server -Namespace "root\ccm\clientsdk" -Class "CCM_SoftwareUpdatesManager" -List).InstallUpdates($CMMissingUpdates)
#Set the missing updates to variable for progress indicator.
$updates = $CMMissingUpdates.Count
$Increment = 100 / $updates
$Percent = 0
Do {
Start-Sleep -Seconds 15
[array]$CMInstallPendingUpdates = @(GWMI -ComputerName $server -query "SELECT * FROM CCM_SoftwareUpdate WHERE EvaluationState = 6 or EvaluationState = 7" -namespace "ROOT\ccm\ClientSDK")
#Not 100% sure $result.UpdateCountBefore is needed below.
$result.UpdateCountBefore = "The number of pending updates for installation is: $($CMInstallPendingUpdates.count)"
Write-Progress -Activity "Updates are installing..." -PercentComplete $Percent -Status "Working..."
$Percent = $Percent + $Increment
} While (($CMInstallPendingUpdates.count -ne 0) -and ((New-TimeSpan -Start $StartTime -End $(Get-Date)) -lt "00:45:00"))
Write-Progress -Activity "Updates Installed" -Status "Done" -Completed
} ELSE {
$result.UpdateCountAfter = "There are no missing updates."}
$result

The increment should be 100 / (max number of items)
That will not exceed 100 through (max number of items ) iterations in a loop
Mathematically that can be written as
100 / (Max Number of items) * (max number of items ) iterations in a loop
= 100 * ( (Max Number of Item) / (Number Iterations in a loop) )
= 100 * 1 = 100
The (max number of items) and (Number of Iterations in a loop ) need to be based on the same number.
In the script, it is not based on the same number.
The maximum number of items is $CMMissingUpdates.Count
The number of iterations in the loop is based on the condition
($CMInstallPendingUpdates.count -ne 0)
Which causes the iterations of the loop to exceed $CMMissingUpdates.Count
Assuming the $CMInstallPendingUpdates.count is going down (is decremented) through the loop, then
$Increment = 100 /
$CMInstallPendingUpdates.count

Installation script for installing tables

I am trying to create a packaged application .(package include app, themes, images , shared components and underlying tables)
something similar to the lines of package application samples available here
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/packaged_apps/packaged_apps.html
Please let me know if there is a way to create installation scripts for tables+sequences+triggers+data.
Appreciate it

These are MS Windows patches, say for server 2012.
this is a simple batch file am using for monthly patches. But now there are servers in staging area of DC which are required to patch with all missing patches from last 1year or so. We got all the patches in to a folder, and need to run against each server.

Archwiz Script for installing Arch Linux

I created a new Bash Script Project called Archwiz, located on github flesh/archwiz ,
its still in Beta for a few reasons, I never figured out how to get computer translations working in the script so I can Localize it, and I never figured out all the details to get an AUR custom repo working and lastly I didn't get the Asynchronous downloads to work right, so there are all disabled in this script.
This script was a fork of another script found here Archlinux Ultimate Install Script.
The Script itself has several files, the wizard.sh is a library, that allow programmers to use this library as an API for writing scripts, so its usefully to anyone that wants an API to write Bash Scripts, but the script itself scripts a script that is saved as configuration files, then executes the script inside itself, so you can look at all the configuration files before running it.
The script was written for use by anyone, but mostly targets programmers like myself who need to setup a machine to use as a work station and want it set up a certain way every time, although this script is far from finished, I have a lot of tweaking to do to it before it would be completely there, but as it is, I can get up and running on a machine with little effort, so this make it ideal for a Linux Administrator who has to install thousands of OS's and have them configured all the same way, but works great for someone just wanting to install Arch Linux.
The Project is Self Documenting and Self Localizing, although currently only English works, but the po files are there, so it would be easy enough if you wanted to localize it; but the computer translation function I started would be the correct way to do this.
The scripts makes use of a custom repo, so remove it when finished, the script should do this for you, but just to let you know, it downloads the core to the flash drive, this way it can install very fast, once you install it one, it has all the files on it to install on another computer without an Internet connection, well at least that was my thinking, I never did get the AUR custom repo to work, but the idea is to have all the files on the flash so you do not need to use up bandwidth installing Arch Linux on a new machine, just install it, then run pacman updates.
The Idea of a Wizard is to make the life of those installing an OS, much easier, they have the Option to do a Custom install, or a Wizard install, even an Automatic install to pre-configure machines.
The script determines if you have UEFI Bios or not, and formats and configures the Hard Drive correctly, and gives you full control over the partitioning of the drive, within the bounds of the tools used, so its very flexible, it uses systemd, so boot time on my machine is 10 seconds flat, and that's because I mount a lot of network drives and map them at boot time, I got 2 seconds boot time with mounting, so the packages are not perfect, but they do work.
I only tested GDM, since I installed every Desktop Manager and configuration for my needs, this was the only one I got to work for all of them, but I normally use KDE or Mate, but I ran into issues with Mate and went back to KDE, so I could get back to work.
This script was designed to Format the Drive you install it to, so do not use this on a Partitioned Drive, it will format the hard drive, so you are warned once more during the install, but this could be fixed, I had to abandon the project to finish another, so the script is as it is, but could give someone a great start if they want to folk it and finish it, so fork me.
See the help.html for details.

Script for installing patches manually from a folder

Dear Team,
Due to some restrictions, i need to execute each patch by double clicking on it.
Request someone to help me to find a script which can look in side folder and install the patches inside and ask for reboot at end.
It should also write status of patches installed or not in to a log file.
Thanks
Rama

ANT scripts for JBI artifacts operations

HI All,
I want to write ant scripts for installing,uninstalling and other operations for components ,SA,SU,. Can anybody tell me the way to write scripts....
Hope a soon reply...

The JBI 1.0 specification requires implementations to supply the Ant tasks defined in the Management chapter. Obviously the implementation you are using has not passed the JBI 1.0 technological compatibility test (TCK) suite.
You should speak to the vendor. They cannot claim JBI 1.0 compliance until their implementation passes the TCK. The TCK includes extensive tests of the Ant tasks required by the specification.
Alternatively, you can use the JBI reference implementation, available at http://java.sun.com/integration. This is a fully complaint implementation of JBI. Using it will allow you to avoid problems posed by other partial or other non-compliant implementations.

Thanks. Short of the sort of "generic" suggestions of restaring your system, if you haven't, and repairing disk permissions and verifying the disk, I don't have any advice right now. I'll do some research and see if I can come across anything. Meanwhile, someone else may have an idea.

Hi renmusn79002737,
Could you please try installing Reader again from the below mentioned link:
http://get.adobe.com/reader
Ensure that you are logged in as administrator and anti-virus is disabled as that might interrupt downloading.
Try again and then let me know.

"Create the folder "Developer" on your hard-disk."
I already had the Developer folder at the top level of the disk. What did work for me was to not let the install location default, but to actively select the Developer folder. (You may have to modify some permissions for this.) The install was a success and I've confirmed the tools are working.
Good luck!

I had the same problem this weekend. The iphone 4s needed Itunes10.5 to sync to her Asus Windows 7 Laptop. When I tried to download from the Apple website I got the error that the windows installer was missings files or something like that. I uninstalled itunes and tried again but that didn't work. Then I redownloaded itunes 10.3 just to have a working version in case I gave up. Then I found site that suggested I update Windows by going through the start menu and while doing that I found an update Apple itunes file.
Goto Start and type Widows Update in the seach window. Click on check for updates (I already was current with all updates but I suggest you download the updates if there are some available.
Goto start and this time just type update in the search window. Look for the Apple itunes update link and click on it. It found there were updates for itunes 10.5, Quick time, Safari, and Icloud. I checked all the updates except for Safari, since we don't use it (yet).
The install started then seemed to stall at one spot for ~3min but then completed successfully. I open itunes and had her synced with Outlook Contact, Email, Calender, and Notes in 5 minutes. I did already configure Outlook by going to tools and Trust Center.
I hope this works.

When I try to install an iTunes upgrade I get this message: The following install step failed: run preupgrade script for AppleMobileDevice Support.

When I try to install upgrades for itunes on my Mac, I get the following message: The following install step failed: run preupgrade script for AppleMobileDevice Support. When this happened before I trashed itunes and started over, but I don't want to have to do that everytime i install an upgrade.

C,
I ran into the same issue. Make sure your apple device in disconnected from the computer. It interrupts the itunes download. Disconnect and make sure itunes is closed, then try installing again. Remember that even though you close of itunes, it is often still running in the background. To make sure it's closed, click and hold the mouse on the itunes icon and select quit from the drop down menu. Then try installing the updated itunes.
Hope that helps.

Error installing iLife 09 - "run preflight script for Registration"

Hi,
I am trying to install iLife 09 and am getting the error above (run preflight script for registration) and cant figure out how to fix it. I have run a permissions repair, rebooted and it just doesnt want to let me install. My Install.app is present in /System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app and have installed all the latest updates for 10.5
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ian
Edit: I see this could be in the wrong forum - my apologies - please move to the correct forum.

I'm having the same problem. I cannot instal Ilife on my new Imac.
I first tried to install all programs together via the installation guide. but it kept crashing without any reason.
after that I tried to install each program seperately via the customized installation guide but again the installation guide crashed.
for each program the following messages appeared:
run preflight script for iphoto, Imovie etc.
So what can I do about this. The warning message said I had to contact the manufacturer.
Thanks
