WSL - Ubuntu - Install Travis CLI

[rgleason]

Thanks I am going to clean up the Windows Updates I think I have a fair amount in that.
Also will inclrease Ram to 2048. Ubuntu is slow now.

The installation has no surprises to you, I guess:

Let's open a terminal, check disk space and attempt to install the infamous guest add-ons:



One needs to read carefully what the installation script is telling. It says that kernel modules (eg. drivers) did not install and tells also the reason why: missing packages, and gives a list of those packages.


Let's install those missing packages



Try to install again, now they are compiling.



But the kernel modules (these) cannot be loaded in running kernel, so it asks to be rebooted:

I think it is faster. Less delay.


Attached is what I wanted to get to you.
Now via FF in ubuntu. Good Idea. Should have thought of that. Many ways to "skin the cat".!

The rest is the procedure that you know, only one package (curl) is here not installed compared to WSL 18.04 LTS:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ruby
sudo apt-get install gem
sudo apt-get install curl

Now the Ruby Version Manager (rvm):

command curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg --import -
command curl -sSL https://rvm.io/pkuczynski.asc | gpg --import -
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

(This takes long time)

Source the ~/.rvm and install travis

source /home/petri/.rvm/scripts/rvm
gem install travis

Seems OK:
But let's check:

travis -version
Shell completion not installed. Would you like to install it now? |y| y
1.8.10

What else one can expect from life but a working procedure!

I admit, the entire process took from me 3 hours, not 2. In WSL 18.04LTS it was considerably faster but since yours has been sacrificed for other usage, this way at least you have your Travis CLI.

You're not following the procedure; what is the reason to run "sudo gem update"? You just installed it!

[Canne]

All that "vxbosguest" stuff missing I also explained in my screen captures above. You did not read what the system was telling you: no way to compile and build kernel modules before you install gcc, make and perl (wonder where they need perl, crazy?).

Note: That I did uncheck download updates during the installation! This was done because it failed twice before. I also dropped down from 30gb to something more realistic that was suggested by a windows popup of the disk system, and went below the suggestion, picking 20gb for the virtual disk.


Interesting about not installing the kernel and rebooting. I did not get these notices however, it just went off into space and never came back. Probably processing the virtual hard disk and the existing HD sectors.

Continue from above from point "sudo apt-get install curl" and don't loose your concentration this time...

Just forget that part for now and return to virtualbox guest extenions once you got the travis working. It is getting late here...

You executed the apt-get update, correct? That should have done the trick by now.

Finally found the Vbos Commands in Linux Right CTRL + Home and it pops up. Then select Devices and Pick Guest Additions at the bottom. The run and I see it is missing some things GCC?


I shutdown and then ran it again. Don't know what next to do.

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

sudo install gcc make perl packages ???

Yes I did

Yes, this is what it says:

So, you say:

sudo apt-get install gcc make perl

Then you need to unmount the CD-drive disk (the extension CD) and reclick on its menu item to remount it and relaunch it. You don't need all these shortcuts, it is there right on in the menu. Then you need to carefully wait until it completes. And then you need to reboot.

... I can see that you are obsessed with other things but Travis CLI ... I have to go now. If you have time, maybe you can finish the Travis CLI installation procedure (without inventing yours) and tell me how it went. Bye for now.

Petri:


Regarding my mistake.


sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ruby

sudo apt-get install gem
----> Then I put sudo apt-get update gem or somethiing

----> and the log shows a bunch of errors. What do I do now? Just continue?

sudo apt-get install curl <-- go ahead with this one?

Continue from above from point "sudo apt-get install curl" and don't loose your concentration this time...
