So I'll rewind a bit. I tried to deploy 2108 to this machine (and several other machines) using SCCM. It had succeeded on all machines apart from this one, so when I checked the machine I saw there was an old install of Citrix Receiver 4.12 on there, which had been partly removed but had parts left on there. I presumed that this was unable to be uninstalled and was therefore stopping the 2108 from installing. I tried to manually re-run the silent install command for 2108 but this time with the /forceinstall switch, which apparently meant that I would not need to run the Receiver Cleanup Utility. This switch did nothing to help, so I resorted to the Cleanup Utility. This completed the uninstall, and after a reboot, and then an install of 2108, and another reboot to get SSON working, I tested. I saw that the application launcher doesn't open, and it not opened once for me.
This is an unexpected behavior, I thought other users would not been affected from the custom shell set for user1. How can I gain full control of the machine when I need to do administrative tasks ? Am I supposed to disable shell launcher via powershell ?
I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.1 at the moment, and system windows like the Files window, Terminal or System Software open behind the Unity launcher, which means they are partially hidden behind it. I can move them with Alt+F7, but I'd like a more permanent solution to this problem.
This PEP describes a Python launcher for the Windows platform. APython launcher is a single executable which uses a number ofheuristics to locate a Python executable and launch it with aspecified command line.
This PEP specifies features of the launcher; a prototypeimplementation is provided in [3] which will be distributedtogether with the Windows installer of Python, but will also beavailable separately (but released along with the Pythoninstaller). New features may be added to the launcher aslong as the features prescribed here continue to work.
The launcher installation is registered inHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLswith a reference counter.It contains a version resource matching the version number of thepythonXY.dll with which it is distributed. Independentinstallations will overwrite older versionof the launcher with newer versions. Stand-alone releases usea release level of 0x10 in FIELD3 of the CPython release on whichthey are based.
The launcher is not tied to a specific version of Python - eg., alauncher distributed with Python 3.3 should be capable of locating andexecuting any Python 2.x and Python 3.x version. However, thelauncher binaries have a version resource that is the same as theversion resource in the Python binaries that they are released with.
The launcher will support fully-qualified paths to executables.While this will make the script inherently non-portable, it is afeature offered by Unix and would be useful for Windows users insome cases.
If no minor version qualifiers are found, the environment variablePY_PYTHONmajor (where major is the current major version qualifieras determined above) can be set to specify the full version. If no such optionis found, the launcher will enumerate the installed Python versions and usethe latest minor release found for the major version, which is likely,although not guaranteed, to be the most recently installed version in thatfamily.
In addition to environment variables, the same settings can be configuredin the .INI file used by the launcher. The section in the INI file iscalled [defaults] and the key name will be the same as theenvironment variables without the leading PY_ prefix (and note thatthe key names in the INI file are case insensitive.) The contents ofan environment variable will override things specified in the INI file.
The launcher offers some conveniences for Python developers workinginteractively - for example, starting the launcher with no command-linearguments will launch the default Python with no command-line arguments.Further, command-line arguments will be supported to allow a specificPython version to be launched interactively - however, these conveniencesmust not detract from the primary purpose of launching scripts and mustbe easy to avoid if desired.
It may be surprising that the launcher is installed into theWindows directory, and not the System32 directory. The reason isthat the System32 directory is not on the Path of a 32-bit processrunning on a 64-bit system. However, the Windows directory isalways on the path.
Ideally, the launcher process would execute Python directly insidethe same process, primarily so the parent of the launcher process couldterminate the launcher and have the Python interpreter terminate. If thelauncher executes Python as a sub-process and the parent of the launcherterminates the launcher, the Python process will be unaffected.
Given these considerations, the launcher will execute its command in achild process, remaining alive while the child process is executing, thenterminate with the same exit code as returned by the child. To addressconcerns regarding the termination of the launcher not killing the child,the Win32 Job API will be used to arrange so that the child process isautomatically killed when the parent is terminated (although children ofthat child process will continue as is the case now.) As this Windows APIis available in Windows XP and later, this launcher will not work onWindows 2000 or earlier.
When you type py at the command line, the launcher invokes the current default Python interpreter. py by itself will drop you into the Python REPL, which you can exit as you normally would by typing quit() or hitting Ctrl-Z.
An important thing to keep in mind about the py launcher and upgrading Python versions: whenever a new version of Python is installed, the py launcher will be updated, as long as the Python version being installed is newer than the py launcher.
This behavior can lead to some problems if you install a pre-release version of Python. As a general rule, when installing pre-release versions of Python in a system that has older production versions and an existing py launcher, don't install the py launcher for the pre-release version. Use the existing py.
If you install a pre-release Python with py, then later attempt to upgrade one of the release versions along with the py launcher, the installer will see a "newer" version of the py launcher (the one installed with the pre-release version) and abort the install process for the older-version upgrade.
To run a Python script with the py launcher, simply substitute py and its command-line switches for python or python3. For instance, here is the command typically used to upgrade pip by running it as a module:
I'm in the same situation - Linux Mint (with XP skin) and dissatisfied with most of the game launchers out there. I will check out this as it looks promising.
(I have done something similar, but with a lower-level approach; e.g., it will search in my archive given a mod/map base file name)
Gave it a whirl. Obviously I won't be able to give a full report until I've used it for some time, but my only complaint is that Heartland.pke doesn't appear in the Heartland folder when I search for it in the mod tree. That's fairly minor, and I worked around it by adding -file D:\path\to\heartland.pke to the game options. I recall a friend of mine having a similar problem in another launcher because of that unusual suffix. Other than that, I like it so far.
You can install the IT Managed Launcher to a specific location by adding the /D parameter to the end of the filename. Example: ./omniverse-launcher-win-enterprise.exe /S /D="C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA Omniverse Launcher"
