How to enroll Macs on Profile Manager MDM using Terminal?

I’ve been tweaking the command profiles quite sometime now but the -password parameter doesn’t work. I’ve wanted to enroll machines using an MDM profile but it will require the user to input credentials via prompt which defeats our automation.

Additional: I can install Trust profiles from macOS server via terminal by simply executing `profiles -I -F but not the MDM.

SharePoint Online: Get User’s(People picker) Manager name and email id

I am on SharePoint Online environment. I have 3 columns Author(People picker, only people, no groups), Manager Name(text field) and Manager email(text field).

When a user fills out the Author column which is a people picker, I want to populate the Managers Name and Managers email id of that particular Author(not current logged in user) from Active Directory, before submitting/saving the form. If the Author field is changed/updated, I want the Managers Name and Managers email updated accordingly.

Please suggest?

Thanks

Files manager api in c++

I’m new to this community, so I’m not sure if it should be a topic here, so just let me know if I’m not in the right place.

I wrote a files manager api in c++, to make the read-write operations easier in read/write cases’ needing of big structured data to/from multiple files. I want to get a review of the library, if it’s readable and easy to understand, and if it serve it’s purpose.

How do I get the boot manager to give me an option to choose from which os I want to boot?

I have a computer in which Windows 10 is installed.Recently I have installed Ubuntu on it.The boot manager automatically boots my computer with Windows.Now I want the boot manager to give me a boot menu each time I login automatically so I can choose from which OS I want to boot my computer.How can I do that?

How to set Thunar as the default file manager?

I want to set Thunar as my default file manager. T answers given here and here did not help me.

For instance, I already have Thunar as the preferred File Manager

thunar_default

But when I use a dialog box to open a file, I still get Nautilus:

still_nautilus

So how do I set Thunar as the default file manager?

It may be the case that I do not understand what “being the default file manager” means. What I want is to use Thunar all around, as it would be (I think) expected when one changes the file manager to Thunar.

Here is some possibly relevant version information:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Release:        18.04 Codename:       bionic  GNOME nautilus 3.26.4  Thunar 1.6.15 (Xfce 4.12)

Change Default file manager to Dolphin Lubuntu 18.04

Whatever the defualt file manager is constantly crashes under heavy load forcing me to either reboot. I’ve tried using exo tools but not only is dolphin not an option, but i get the following error every time I try to change something

Gtk-Message: 19:49:59.627: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.  (exo-helper-1:4774): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 19:50:03.261: gdk_window_get_window_type: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

I’ve also tried the following terminal commands (seperately)

xdg-mime default kde4/dolphin.desktop inode/directory

xdg-mime default org.kde.dolphin.desktop inode/directory

xdg-mime default dolphin.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search

i’ve also tried following these instructions to no avail both using gedit and the editor adapting it for dolphin’s desktop file “org.kde.dolphin.desktop” I’m pretty much stumped at this point.

his is the recommended method because it doesn’t mess around with the files that were installed by your package manager. Also, if it is a shared computer (eg. family, library or lab computer) then this method is your only option.

Default system settings in Ubuntu are overridden by settings in hidden files in a user’s home directory (~), if you want to change settings, this is the place to do it. The files in ~/.local/share/applications override the files in /usr/share/applications (mentioned above in MIME Types). If the directory does not exist, create it. To change the default File Manager you’ll have to edit the file defaults.list (or mimeapps.list) found in this directory but first we have to find the right .desktop file for the program you want to use.

getting the right .desktop file You have read-access to /usr/share/applications so navigate to that directory and search through the .desktop files to find the one for your desired File Manager, for example the one for Xfe is xfe.desktop.

To search for files in Nautilus start typing the name of the file. To search for files from the command line you can list the contents of the directory and search the output for the name of the file:

ls /usr/share/applications | grep xfe

If you find it you can move on to the next step, otherwise, if it doesn’t exist we’ll have to create one. As far as I know there is no .desktop file for Thunar so we’ll make one for that. Navigate to ~/.local/share/applications, make a file thunar.desktop and write the following in it

[Desktop Entry] Name=Open Folder TryExec=thunar Exec=thunar %U NoDisplay=true Terminal=false Icon=folder-open StartupNotify=true Type=Application MimeType=x-directory/gnome-default-handler;x-directory/normal;inode/directory;application/x-gnome-saved-search;

There are lots of other things you can add if you want to but this should be enough. If you’re making a file for another file manager replace the command thunar at Exec and TryExec to the command for your file manager and name it whateverfilemaneger.desktop.

Just to remind you one last time this file is in sub-directory of your home directory (~), not somewhere in /usr!

editing the defaults.list or mimeapps.list file If you’re not in the directory ~/.local/share/applications then navigate to it now and edit the defaults.list file. You can double-click it in Nautilus to open it with Gedit or from the commandline:

editor defaults.list It shouldn’t contain much because it’s only for the MIME Types which you’re overriding. Add the following 2 lines to the file:

inode/directory=thunar.desktop x-directory/normal=thunar.desktop

Replace thunar.desktop with whateverfilemaneger.desktop according to the file you found/created in the previous step.

And that should take care of it. No need to reboot, changes should take effect immediately!

Creating a layout with Page Manager

I’m trying to use Panels and Page Manager in Drupal 8. My current versions of each are:

  • Page Manager: 8.x-1.0-alpha23+12-dev
  • Panels: 8.x-3.0-beta4+41-dev

My current problem is having no idea how to actually make a layout (layout_plugin is installed.) I’m seeing this screen:

enter image description here

It doesn’t matter what I change “Layout” to, the “Layout Settings” section doesn’t change. I’m somewhat familiar with Page Manager in D7, and expected there to be some sort of layout manager in there, allowing me to choose panels/blocks/etc. I know there’s a “Block Page”–and this would work for me–but in any of the tutorials, I’ve heard something about Block Page NOT being for production?

Nearly EVERY video/tutorial I’ve seen uses some other version of panels/page_manager, and the look/structure has changed. So, I’m not sure if I’m doing this right or not, if it’s broke, or if I just have no idea what I’m doing.

Panels, Page Manager and CTools was supposedly synced with their alphas last year, but they look like they’ve separated and I’m hesitant to use 5 month old versions of modules on a new release like D8 (particulary, CTools.)
