Virtual machines

Bash prompt

Dear supporters,

The VM's bash prompts (SSH) are centrally managed (Puppet), but I guess there is a particular way to customize/configure the prompt. I would like it to look like default Ubuntu:

[<username> <fullpath>]$

Preferably with colorized output. How can this be done? Thanks.

Any suggestions to solve this? Thank you

Timeout connecting to my VM

Hello, I tried to access Terrascope with X2GO and I receive a timeout message. Could you, please, check this problem?

Please help to reinstall or reset the userVM

Really sorry to bother you guys, I just found myself made a huge mistake by `rm -rf ${SOME_IMPORT_FILES_IN_ROOT_DIRECTORY}`.

Could you help to reinstall or reset my userVM, I'd backed up some import datasets and code of the VM,

My account: juliet_saltzman@uservm.terrascope.be, please help.

DuckDB with spatial extension: glibc issue

I would lke to run DuckDB with the spatial extension, but I am running into glibc issues:

duckdb.load_extension("spatial")

gives:

duckdb.IOException: IO Error: Extension "/home/xxx/.duckdb/extensions/v0.8.1/linux_amd64/spatial.duckdb_extension" could not be loaded: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.23' not found (required by /home/xxx/.duckdb/extensions/v0.8.1/linux_amd64/spatial.duckdb_extension)

Compiling duckdb from source gives the same error.

ldd --version returns 2.17, and it cannot be updated using yum.

What would be the best way forward? Compile ldd myself and use that?

X2Go Connection Issues with Terrascope VM

Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out because I've been having difficulties connecting to my Terrascope Virtual Machine through the X2Go client. I've closely followed the steps outlined in Terrascope's documentation, but I've been unsuccessful in my connection attempts on multiple computers.

Here are the key steps I've taken:

1 - Downloaded and installed the X2Go client for Windows from the official source ( https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/download:start ). I have a query regarding this: is there only the 32-bit version, or is there a 64-bit version available as well?

2 - Opened the X2Go client and added a new session.

3 - In the session settings, I inputted the following:

Session name: "Terrascope VM" Host: "uservm.terrascope.be" Login: "mum1994mixo$" SSH port: "24415" Session type: "XFCE" In the 'Connection' tab, I changed the compression method to '4k-png', as specified in the Terrascope guidelines.

4 - After saving these settings, I attempted to initiate the connection from the main X2Go Client window by double-clicking the session. I entered my Terrascope account username and a password. However, I encountered an error during the connection attempt that appears to indicate a server-side issue.

The error message in full is as follows:

"Connection failed. : /ust/lib64/x2go/libx2go-server-db-
