juliabox's Issues

error starting tornado

The culprit was here:

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/websocket_client-0.16.0-py2.7.egg/websocket/_core.py", line 43, in from six.moves.urllib.parse import urlparse

I could work around this by editing the file to find a different urlparse. Is this specific to my ubuntu?

Install React and Interact

Can we install React and Interact on the default image?

Error accessing Google Drive

I had authenticated this once, but am now seeing errors accessing the drive.

Console (shellinabox) does not work nicely on Firefox

The frame needs a reload to show the console properly
Some characters e.g. - and _ can not be entered at the prompt.

Internal server error if downloading notebook

If I try to download a notebook as html or rst, using File->Download as, it gives an internal server error.

Double Clicks Needed on Ijulia Notebooks

the first time you open, one click on a notebook does nothing, the second click
opens the ijulia notebook

Not sure that this has anything to do with juliabox, but perhaps someone else has
seen this. Lately I've seen two funny side effects on google chrome on my Mac 10.9.2
Deleting cookies and cache doesn't seem to fix, and sometimes a reboot fixes and sometimes
it does not:

Copy and paste of an image ( copy = command+control+shift+4) into gmail no longer works
google hangout apps are unavailable (you know these things that let you chat , share screen, etc)

Whether this is related to juliabox or just a coincidence (as I suspect), still would love any thoughts on this.

Google drive permissions

The first time I try to use the Google drive, it asks for authorization - but after accepting, I expect that it should return me to the same page, instead of the IJulia page, and ideally even open the file picker dialog.

Pkg.update() fails

In IJulia I get a "kernel died" message, in the console I get something like:

TexLive 2014

JuliaBox currently uses TexLive 2013, but packages like PGFPlots.jl and BayesNets.jl require TexLive 2014. Additionally, TexLive 2013 cannot be updated through tlmgr. See:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/486170/upgrade-from-tex-live-from-2013-to-2014-on-ubuntu-14-04
I don't know of a PPA with 2014 (but it might be out there), but instructions for a direct install can be found in the link above.

console tab with dark background?

I know this is super picky, but would it be possible for the console tab to have a dark background? In my experience, most hackers use a light-on-dark terminal setup.

Request: install gfortran, and Ipopt.jl

Saw the link to juliabox.org on reddit.com/r/julia, good work, this is a great way to demo Julia.

Don't know enough about docker to know what needs to be done aside from tweaking the dockerfile, but first thing I tried to do was Pkg.add("Ipopt") and it failed because gfortran wasn't installed.

sympy

How would I install sympy? Is the process to edit setup.sh and rerun? Is there some other way of modifying the docker image? (Sorry, am a first-time docker user)

Building the NLopt package fails because the user cannot install the libnlopt0 Ubuntu package

The NLopt/deps/build.jl file defaults to using apt-get on an Ubuntu system to install the libnlopt0 Ubuntu package. Understandably a JuliaBox user does not have superuser permissions and this fails.

Run Pkg.update() with root permissions, say daily?

As I understand it, a regular user cannot run Pkg.update() on www.juliabox.org. It would be useful to have a chron job or whatever other mechanism is appropriate to do so.

Is there a way for a regular user to install packages in user file space? Alternatively, is there a mechanism for a user to ask for the package to be installed?

Installing MPI.jl fails

I could not install MPI with Pkg.add("MPI"). Pkg.add("AnsiColor") succeeded so the problem is probably directly in the build process of MPI.jl. This was attempted using a julia interpreter that was started on the console. The package list is up to date.

Link to an example?

Is there a publicly hosted example of an interactive JuliaBox? Adding such a link to the README.md would be very helpful for interested users.

Uploading large ipynb files fails

I am trying to upload the large Colors of Chemistry notebook, which has many images, and is 7MB on my desktop. It fails to upload through the file manager - failing silently.

Add "Report an issue" to the menu bar

In the bar at the top, we should have a link to "Report an issue" that takes the user to the github issues for JuliaBox. There may be better ways to do this too, but I think it should be prominent and available ubiquitously in JuliaBox.

Google Drive error

I tried to add a directory from my Google Drive, and it said “Error adding repository”, but it shows the repo and the sync button. I am sure I have given it permissions, but something along these lines may make it more user friendly:

It should tell me what caused the error and how I can fix it
It should not add the repository if there is an error
If it is a permissions issue, that could be a more specific error.

Websocket connection error

I am behind a firewall, and get this. I wonder if we can have a more seamless experience for folks behind firewalls - of course, each one has its own quirk.

Reporting on basic usage by code

I know this is mostly ready, but just capturing in an issue. It will be nice for admins to be able to see general usage statistics by code and instructors to be able to see usage in their classes.

setup edit(f) et al. to work by default

Currently if you try to edit some function in IJulia, it tries, unsuccessfully, to open vim. I've seen IJulia automatically open files on GitHub, which is super slick. Not sure if we can manage that but it would be pretty smooth.

AudioIO

This may not be a juliabox bug

feature request: easy backup to google drive (and/or dropbox?)

perhaps there should be a setting
to synch with google drive

probably needs to be thought through -- if i don't have a juliabox directory
on googledrive, maybe this should by default create one, but could be otherwise
with settings

one button backup would be nice

after this weekend maybe essential

google auth

I tried using the google authentification and get this error: Missing required parameter: client_id

A tour for new users

@shashi Is there really a tour.js for creating tours for first-time users :-)

Low priority: TImed out Log out screen

I like this one on the Discover Card

Websocket behind firewall

Behind a firewall I get:

(Blocking of websockets seems to be a widely known thing, so perhaps there should be a more helpful error message, or documentation that this is expected)

There is an IPython issue with some relevant discussion: ipython/ipython#2321

Some possible options:

proxying via nginx (used for JuliaBox?): http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/ipython-dev/2013-August/012219.html
http://websocketstest.com/ tells me that the only option is port 8080, but not sure if the IPython websocket port can be changed - see: ipython/ipython#6001

cannot install Images package

I tried to do Pkg.add("Images"), which led to an attempt to do sudo apt-get install of imagemagick. It asked for the password for juser. Is there a password I can use?

If we can't make the install work, it would be good to include Images by default.

Pkg.update() takes forever

Pkg.update() takes forever when run either in the console or through the ijulia gui on the EC2 setup.

Make PyPlot available

Low Priority for Now but maybe easy: invite is confusing

People find signing up for invite confusing
I've now seen multiple instances of this

If you have an invite, why can't you just type it for starters?
Also the place where you type it is confusing.

Watch someone who has an invite code -- you'll see what I mean.

git repo for home directories?

I had done git init in my JuliaBox home directory and when I log back in, it's gone. I'm hypothesizing that we don't save dot files (matching .*). Can you guys confirm (or deny) this? Should we save dot files? Or alternatively, should we automatically do git init for people? I pretty much always want to keep my work in git, so I'd be happy to automatically have a ready-to-use git repo set up. One of the manual steps I had to do was configure git with my name and email address – which we already know! We could do that automatically for people.

Logo doesn't return home

In Ijulia normally clicking on the Julia logo in the upper left corner

returns you to the home screen but it does not on JuliaBox

workaround: click File ---> Open...

but would be good to fix

nlopt

NLopt does not work out of the box as reported by @dmbates.

File manager throws 403 Forbidden when navigating out of designated folder

Trying to navigate out of the designated folder throws a "403 Forbidden" error page. We could probably show a nicer error page with a link to navigate back to the home folder.

Also, the folder also shows the ngnix installation, which may be confusing to users.

Populate with some default notebooks

We should populate JuliaBox with some fun default notebooks. Simple ones demonstrating a couple of things to start, such as plotting, the julia manual chapters as notebooks, and then some nice ones such as "Colors of Chemistry".

We probably need some JuliaBox documentation too - a few lines on what JuliaBox is and how to use it.

S3 doesn't allow underscores in bucket names anymore

I was setting up JuliaBox from scratch, and hit this roadblock when I tried to create an S3 bucket named "juliabox_userbackup" - apparently, S3 doesn't allow you to use underscores in bucket names anymore, in any region.

I'm going around it by modifying the backup bucket name in tornado.conf.tpl. If that works for you chaps, shall submit a PR.

TeX in Markdown needs something like pdflatex/pandoc loaded

If you have TeX in markdown like this

and you hit the ijulia print preview, all you get is

should be fixable by loading the write pdflatex/pandoc like thing on the server

Add Roots package

Could Roots be added to the default collection of packages? It would make it easier for students to get up and running.

Build common packages into sys.so

We can dramatically cut down the time of loading Gadfly and many other packages by simply including something like the following in userimg.jl. Dependencies get compiled automatically. I tried this out and it works:

include("/Users/viral/.julia/v0.3/Gadfly/src/Gadfly.jl")
importall Gadfly

To start with, we could just include Gadfly and PyPlot.

@staticfloat Is it possible to rebuild the sys.so from your PPAs, or should we just build from source?
