Zsh missing or unable to start on Kali linux 2020.3 after upgrade? - How to Start or fix missing Zsh on Kali Linux 2020.3 [Beginner's guide]

 Kali Linux 2020.3 was released a week before, and one of the big change announced by the team is  changing the default bash to the Zsh on the upcoming version of Kali Linux 2020.4 and Onwards. Though it will be default starting 2020.4 there are lot of users who just want to try what this zsh looks like because of its autocomplete and other features. One of our blog reader contacted me and want to know the steps. Though i guided him, i thought it would be helpful for other readers who want to use or try this.


Zsh missing or unable to start on Kali linux 2020.3 after upgrade? - How to Start or fix missing Zsh on Kali Linux 2020.3 [Beginner's guide]

So, If you are one of the person who feels that zsh is missing on your upgraded Kali linux 2020.3 or doesn't know how to start zsh or replace bash with zsh in this latest version Kali Linux 2020.3 then i hope it will be helpful for you too..

So, here we go..

How to start or fix missing zsh on Kali Linux 2020.3

The solution will little bit vary for users who did fresh install of Kali linux and who had just upgraded from previous version of Kali Linux 2020.2.

If you did a fresh install of Kali Linux 2020.3 then you can simply launch the zsh by opening terminal and zsh.

However, if you had upgraded and typed just zsh then you will get the following message.

This is the Z Shell configuration function for new users,
zsh-newuser-install.
You are seeing this message because you have no zsh startup files
(the files .zshenv, .zprofile, .zshrc, .zlogin in the directory
~).  This function can help you with a few settings that should
make your use of the shell easier.

You can:

(q)  Quit and do nothing.  The function will be run again next time.

(0)  Exit, creating the file ~/.zshrc containing just a comment.
     That will prevent this function being run again.

(1)  Continue to the main menu.

(2)  Populate your ~/.zshrc with the configuration recommended
     by the system administrator and exit (you will need to edit
     the file by hand, if so desired).

--- Type one of the keys in parentheses --- 

So, what are we missing here? do we have to freshly install the Zsh even after upgrade?

No, we just have to run a simple command and then will be fixed because this is by default installed by our system when we upgraded to Kali Linux 2020.3

Just open terminal, and type or copy paste below command..

cp /etc/skel/.zshrc ~/

Hit Enter and now type Zsh and enter.

That's it..

I guess i don't need to explain what that command will do, if you don't know then nothing to worry, man is your friend hope you got that๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€.

You will see the Zsh being started..

Hope it is helpful. Happy breaking:)

USB Printer Port Missing after disconnecting Printer/turning Off your PC on Windows 10, Version 2004 and 1909 ? or After installing June 9, 2020 KB updates? - Here is How to fix !

If your USB printer port went missing after disconnecting your Printer or turning Off your Windows 10, Version 2004 and 1909, 1903 PC then you are not alone..! 

Ever since the latest KB updates were installed, Windows 10 users starting 1903 are experiencing a strange problem which has a pretty much easy fix. The issue is their USB printer port will disappear after turning off or restarting their Windows 10 PC/ Laptop. And it won't appear on Settings -> Devices -> Printers and Scanners -> Printer server and Properties -> Port tab.  Result ? you won't be able to print. 

So, What is the issue ?

Here is What Microsoft Says,

  • If the driver for the USB printer contains a Language Monitor, the OpenPortEx callback function of the Language Monitor would not be called.  As a result, the user cannot fulfill operations dependent on the operation of the Language Monitor.
  • In the "Devices and Printers" control panel, when selecting [Print Server Properties] > [Port] tab, the port for the USB printer (such as "USB001") would not appear in the list of printer ports.  As a result, the user cannot fulfill operations dependent on the existence of the port

How to fix this USB printer Port missing on Windows 10 Version, 2004, 1909 and 1903 ?


The answer is pretty much simple as said earlier, you have to connect your Printer before turning on your Windows 10 PC. That's it? ya that's it..

If you had already turned on, your PC then

1) Press Alt and F4 Keys Simultaneously.

2) Or Press Start -> Power -> Shutdown/ Turn off your PC.

3) Connect your Powered ON USB printer.

4) Turn on your Windows PC.

Any other Official Fix?

Currently, the above solution was suggested by Microsoft, and it claims they are working on a Official fix.

Don't know why Microsoft said, they will able to fix the issue only when the future version of Windows 10 Operating System was released. Yes, you read that right! You can expect a permanent fix only on the upcoming version of Windows 10 Operating System.

So, until then keep following the above steps.

Hope it is helpful :)

Using Always ON, Always Connected PC ? - You can soon expect the Windows 10 May 2020 update!, Installed already and experiencing Unexpected Shutdown or restart? A fix is available for you as well!

One of the main issue that is faced by latest technology laptop holders is their device getting restarted or shutdown all of a sudden unexpectedly.

Microsoft has found that problem, and had applied compatibility hold for such devices ( Microsoft Surface Pro 7 and Microsoft Surface Laptop 3,etc) but users in an urge to use latest OS has already installed the latest OS. Result ? They started getting lot of errors, and faced unexpected shutdown and restarts losing their work as said earlier.

If you are the one, experiencing that issue(unexpected restart or shutdown after installing Windows 10, Version 2004), then here is a good news for you. The good news comes in the form of KB4557957, that was released yesterday. Microsoft has addressed the issue on the above update so installing that will fix your problem.

So, just check for updates it will auto download the update.

Running DISM Command Still shows Nothing fixed after repair in Windows 10, Version 2004? [ Here is why you don't need to worry!]

DISM command not working or does your Windows 10, 2004 both client and server edition shows corrupted files even after running DISM DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth ? then i hope this guide might be helpful for you...

                            Its been so long, since i wrote a post about Windows 10 (if you are a regular reader of our site, then you might even say its been so long, since you actually wrote a post buddy!, got you as well๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ ) here is a post i decided to write it because i guess most of you might have already upgraded your Windows 10,Version 1909 to Version 2004 and Might search for a solution for one of the most serious issue which we doesn't need to worry about when occurs. 

If you haven't already upgraded, then its a good news for you, because users who installed this Windows 10, version 2004 are facing a couple of issues, one of them is their DISM command which was believed to repair your PC has actually being corrupt!.

What is the exact issue ?

If you are a intermediate user or advanced user then you might have well known this command " DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth" and  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /ScanHealth
this command which will fix your corrupted files, will now show your files are corrupted even after fixing the files in background!

Which means you won't know whether the file is actually corrupted or just got fixed :( 

So, what is the solution? why i don't need to worry?

Microsoft says, this is a known issue and they are actually working on a possible fix and we can expect a fix in the next one or two weeks.. until then if your PC is having problems, then Microsoft asks you to do one small thing, run the same command again! I'm not kidding, that was the actual temporary fix that was suggested by Microsoft.

Here is What Microsoft Says from the Official site...

DISM might incorrectly report corruption is still present after repair
After using the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM.exe) command /restorehealth to detect and correct system corruption, you might receive a report from the tool that corruption is still present. This can occur even when it has been repaired. An example for using the /restorehealth command is: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Affected platforms:
Client: Windows 10, version 2004
Server: Windows Server, version 2004
 
Workaround: If you receive reports that there is still corruption, subsequent scans should indicate the true state of the corruption. You can verify that DISM has fixed it by rerunning the same command or by using the /ScanHealth command. An example using the /ScanHealth command is: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Just reran the command and find your true state of files whether it was fixed or not, until Microsoft fixes the issue..

As, i was little bit busy, i shared some links that i follow only to them, but as day by day readers of our site is contacting me about the same, i thought it would be good to write a separate post for that, hence wrote this post.

If you are new to this site, or just want to know some links that you can follow to know the latest update regarding the covid-19 then i hope this information will be helpful for you too..

Note : This links are not any affiliated links or they had asked me to include, they are just website with some high quality researches that i thought will be helpful for people like you.

1) The eye-eu

One of the best site, i had came across in my life. Whenever i need information regarding anything the first place i would look for will be the eye. Its a opensource community, and it will have all the information related to everything we need, including some sensitive content(like miltary top secrets, banned research papers, books, videos, survival guides,etc).

They never disappointed by not uploading Coronavirus papers as well..

Infact, they collected and uploaded most of the papers that came about coronavirus since 1968. whether the research is about the animals, humans or anything that included the word corona, you can find it there.  

If You are a researcher, i guess those 5,352 won't disappoint you.

Know what ?, the site is opensource and you can download any confidential content for free including the books that teach how they are giving training to military all over the world, written by their own officials..

https://the-eye.eu/public/Papers/CoronaVirusPapers/

The only bad news is they won't update everyday which is understandable (as they have huge preserved data and served Petabytes requests). Just visit the site once, you won't be disappointed:)

2) The Wiley.

This site is a pretty good site, when it comes to teaching you the knowledge, though most of the content are paid.

They had enabled free access to all the content researches about corona virus aka covid-19.

You can visit this site almost everyday, as the research community from all the world will publish their discoveries every hour.

https://novel-coronavirus.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/

Don't get surpised, when you are not able to understand those papers, because sometimes they will be too technical.

3) The SCITRUS 

Its a actually an AI based content discovery site, that will locate all the contents that were published under the name we are giving all over the world(a kind of bot).

If you are hesitant to visit wiley, then i guess you can follow this below scitrus link.

https://www.scitrus.com/special/novel%20coronavirus%20outbreak/

The above link will have all the latest updates related to Covid-19 virus whatever it might be about, for example: if you want to know what is the new symptom or treatment they discovered about coronavirus/ covid-19 then you can find it there..

Ofcourse, its free as well.

4) AllenAI:

This is also another Ai based site, that have been updated periodically. This site has collected nearly 59,000+ articles and researches about the Covid19 aka coronavirus and has published under the name of CORD-19.

Some are for commercial,but most of them are free.

https://www.semanticscholar.org/cord19/download

Those are the top links that you can follow to stay up-to-date about the Covid-19 treatment, vaccine , symptoms and other stuffs.

Some honorable mentions - lancet,nature,sciencedirect,

I'm sorry i would have missed some important sites who work really hard to publish papers related to corona, but not known well to the world.

if you think it would be great if we include those as it might be helpful for some of us, Kindly let me know in comments :)

-A big thank you to all those people who work really hard to save lives during this covid situation:)

Be safe:)

Now AI can sing and Write songs! - Jukebox from OpenAi made that possible [You can listen ai generated songs!]

The revolution that Artificial Intelligence making in this world is phenomenal!. If you take the number of things that we use AI currently for, i would say its pretty much huge to count. Infact, you might need an another artificial intelligence based program to count that too... The list grows day by day, be it a writing skill, coding skill, security skill or any other skill AI is cementing its place on that, and it's evident because of these new discoveries.

And now an AI singing and writing songs joins that list as well.  Researchers from OpenAi in collaboration with various others has developed an artificial intelligence named Jukebox that can sing your favorite song like the person who had actually sung, when you just entered lyrics! that's it? no, it can even generate own songs.

There exists multiple technologies like ai reading out the text we entered(TTS), generating text based on audio file etc, but this technology is a little bit different and can be used in future to recreate the song you like with just lyrics using your favorite singer's voice without asking your favorite singer who might be alive or dead at that time, No offense! everyone needs to die one day. 


We have introduced Jukebox, a model that generates raw audio music imitating many different styles and artists. We can condition this music on specific artists and genres, and can optionally specify the lyrics for the sample. We laid out the details necessary to train a Hierarchical VQ-VAE to compress the music effectively into tokens. While previous work has generated raw audio music in the 20–30 second range, our model is capable of generating pieces that are multiple minutes long, and with recognizable singing in natural-sounding voices.

It wasn't an easy task particularly the Lyrics to Singing task(LTS) says the developers because of alignment of lyrics , the artists voice and also the diversity of ways one can sing a phrase depending on the pitch, melody, rhythm and even genre of the song.. But finally made this successful model that can do the task specified, after trying and conditioning different set of models. 

Kudos to the developers!

So, i guess this is the time to get ready for the future!

You can read the complete paper here.

You can hear the ai generated songs, in the official page here which has 7100+ songs as of writing this post. 

If you are interested to further develop this or want code of this, then you can get it here
