Question related to script distribution

I am sorry and aware this is the wrong community. However, I am unable to find Ask Programmer. I wrote a small bash script, and I would like to share it on GitHub. However, to operate probably it requires dir with some files in user $HOME dir. The only solutions came to my mind were, tar the directory BUT is this pragmatic solution?

NOOB having hard time install virtualbox

Hey guys, i a am using ParrotOS and trying to install virtualbox from .deb package and i got the following warning ``` dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of virtualbox-7.0: virtualbox-7.0 depends on libc6 (>= 2.34); however: Version of libc6:amd64 on system is 2.31-13+deb11u6. virtualbox-7.0 depends on libssl3 (>= 3.0.0~~alpha1); however: Package libssl3 is not installed. virtualbox-7.0 depends on libstdc++6 (>= 12); however: Version of libstdc++6:amd64 on system is 11.2.0-18really16parrot1. virtualbox-7.0 depends on libvpx7 (>= 1.10.0); however: Package libvpx7 is not installed. ``` but it seems like ParrotOS repo outdated so i add `http://archive.ubuntu.com jammy main universe` to `/etc/apt/sources.list` update repo list `apt-get update` and then obtain libc6 package information ``` apt-cache policy libc6 libc6: Installed: 2.31-13+deb11u7 Candidate: 2.31-13+deb11u7 Version table: 2.35-0ubuntu3 50 50 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages *** 2.31-13+deb11u7 600 600 https://deb.parrot.sh/parrot lts/main amd64 Packages 600 https://deb.parrot.sh/parrot parrot/main amd64 Packages 600 https://deb.parrot.sh/direct/parrot parrot-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ``` then install libc6 via `sudo apt-get install libc6=2.35-0ubuntu3` BUT i got ``` Reading package lists...

Keyboard and touchpad not responding

Hello guys, I'm using Parrot OS on an Asus G513. My problem is when I unintentionally adjust shortcuts (filled with Launcher1) automatically. However, this problem didn't catch my attention, when I used to boot live USB, after user space load any keystroke I press seems not working, from opening terminal to other shortcuts, however after like 5 min it will start to respond but each few key press screen brightness will get dimmer and dimmer, I thought it's problem with DE. now I just can press key combination (Alt + arrow) or (Mod + f) When I keep pressing return to delete, launcher1 eventually will get filled again before I realized it The only way I can adjust things now, via ssh additional notes 1. I can type in my password normally on the lock screen 2. I can't log in via tty. Even before this incident, this is what will happen when I try to log in ``` hostname login: USER@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^ password:@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^ login inncorrect ``` tty will keep printing @^ combination until i hit Ctrl + c Things I've tried: looking at /home/USER/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc, but there's no luck, and the last modification date is May 2 Edit: add shortcut photo Update: I've managed to adjust the shortcut by holding "return + ctrl + alt + m" . But still, I can't figure out what causes rapid input. thanks in advance.
