EDIT 20/06/19I have done a fairly extensive post about how to use BMAP properly so here is a link to my post. You should probably read this to know that the true benefits of speed from Bmap tools comes from following the instructions in my other blog. Otherwise, you might as well just use ‘dd’ or other flashing techniques. Bmap…

Fixing PrestaShop child theme upload fail
Just a quick post. To be totally honest, I haven’t had time to investigate if this is a filed bug or not, but I’m going to post this here to save others some headaches and also hopefully serve as a reference link for someone else if they want to file the bug officially (sorry, my bad). I tried to upload…
How to Import Shopify Data into Prestashop with CSV
Brutal. I spent probably 3 hours trying to figure this out so I thought I should spend about 10 minutes and write this quick blog post for anyone else who might hit this. I was testing out Prestashop (looking good so far!) and the aim was to move a new shopify account over to Prestashop to see how it goes.…
Getting Korean Hangul Working on Ubuntu 18 and higher
How to install Korean Hangul Keyboard Ubuntu Gnome 18 Edit 2020.11.10 – The title of this blog wasn’t great because actually the instructions are different for 20.04 suddenly. If you’re trying to install Korean on Ubuntu 20.04, check out this link instead. In Ubuntu there are two things that need to happen to be able to type a non-native language…
GETTING A QUASAR BUILD RUNNING AS APP ON UBUNTU TOUCH
Here is my journey to see if I can make a basic Quasar app work on Ubuntu Touch. I should preface that I have never built an Ubuntu Touch app and I’m not even done my Quasar course but there are enough people interested in this so I want to stop everything and try… Quick Overview of Ubuntu Touch Apps…
Getting Started With Quasar and VueJS on Ubuntu
After watching this recommended tutorial I decided to try out this Quasar thing. My true hope is that we can eventually add Ubuntu Touch as one of the buildable outputs at the end of app creation as it apparently might not be that hard with Cordova… but I digress… I’m not an experienced developer yet so getting started with all…
Dismissing Firefox popups using Selenium and Python
In my new journey to figure out how to automate stuff in my life, one of the time-sucking adventures was to try to stop browser popups such as geolocation and notifications. I just wanted to click ‘ok’ or ‘dismiss’ and move on since this was my ‘bot’ instance of the browser. The issue with these browser-based pop ups is that…
HOW TO CLICK AN ITEM IN A SUBMENU (UL) LIST USING PYTHON, SELENIUM
I spent literally 3 days trying to simply click a logout link with Selenium. I searched every stackoverflow post I could find until I found this one. I had tried pretty much everything I could to try to click the logout link which was the fifth item down in the move-over list. I tried find_element_by_xpath, find_element_by_id, find this, find that,…
OPENING A NEW TAB WITH SELENIUM + PYTHON + FIREFOX + UBUNTU
So this was super duper hard and I believe the reason why is because technically the browser settings and the user choices impact whether or not a clicked link opens in a fresh new tab or a fresh new window. Keep that in mind in case you have other headaches. It may be impossible (so I’ve read online) to perfectly…
Overcoming Painful Setup for Selenium with Python on Ubuntu
EDIT 191118I realized that I need to execute the script below every time my computer reboots so my current workflow is to leave the command commented out in script and then run it before I begin. You can probably run it with the script too? This one: export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/path/to/browser_drivers_for_automation I had the following continual painfull errors: selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: ‘my_folder_name’ executable…
