Thanks, this is really helpful. So what you're saying is that the site actually uses java script to generate a unique link for each downloader on the fly, instead of having a static one that simply...

So I'm writing a little shell script which will perform all the actions necessary to update my android phone, which is relatively laborious as it runs an unofficial build of lineageOS,...

Thanks, the course you linked to looks pretty good, it' something I can move onto after the one I'm doing right now.

Edit 2: Found this in the Bash info page after some readingSo that pretty much solves it.

Hello all,

I've been spending a few hours playing around with this and working out how to express my...

Ahh, I feel a bit silly now, thank you!

Hi all,

Can anyone point me toward some proper documentation for steam or proton? Over on protondb people just blurt out launch parameters as if they are actual valve developers, and it really...

Thanks, good to know about the -E (for extended regular expressions?). Also confusing is how the sed documentation says the '&' can be unescaped, but I suppose that might be like saying that as far...

In a manner, I'm just trying to find a way of applying indentation to all the lines within a given range that actually contain something, there are also lines that contain nothing at all (no white...

Hello all,

I'm trying to write a sed expression which will insert a tab at the start of each line which has some content, i.e I don't want to simply insert a tab at the beginning of every line....

Well all that clears it up, I'm marking the thread as solved. Thanks to everyone who replied! there's some good information here.

Thanks! That's good to know.

Just out of interest, I found this on the ubuntu documentation wiki...So if one of a meta-packages dependencies are removed, the meta-package is also removed, because...

Hello all,

I want to remove 'update-manager' and 'update-notifier' as I always update manually from the terminal and I'm sick of the graphical stuff popping up every time I boot the PC.

but...

I have a contract with Proton VPN, but I use the 'openvpn' command line program as the client, instead of the official Proton VPN client. You could create a command that starts the openvpn client,...

Thanks, I went ahead and removed all the files, I was heavily considering doing this anyway, but I just thought I'd make a post here in case there was some very important Linux gotch ya' that I...

Aha, honestly I swear I haven't! this is what worried me when I saw that the files under ../expunged/ were owned by root, because I know root will sometimes take ownership of files if used...

I don't know the answer to the question, but this gentleman is asking how to change the language of the forum, to Spanish (I think). Just in case anyone else knows how. :)

Hello all,

So under my home directory I have '../.local/share/Trash/expunged/2798414653/localhost/' below which are more directories, some of which contain files owned by root. I have a feeling...

Thanks to you both! what I now understand is that the terms stdin, stdout and stderr refer to the data streams themselves, and not the source / destination of those streams. All programs get three...

Hello all,

I'm a little confused by the concept of stdin, stdout, stderr and their file descriptors.

On the whole I understand but what I can't work out is this; if each process gets three...

Hello all!

Is it an inherently bad idea to save a list of authentication details in a .pgp file encrypted using AES256 with a symmetric key (or password or whatever you want to call it). I'm not...

Hello all!

Thought I'd try a little android question here.

So I have a Samsung Note 4 running an unofficial build of Lineage OS 17.1. I want to re-enable the call recording function of the...

Righhht now I've got it, I never realised you can just hit enter after typing the first pattern to move to a newline in the terminal (naturally I assumed this would just attempt to run an incomplete...

I still can't get this to work but it's probably my syntax. I can't see any '\' at the end of your first line, mine looks like this...

sorry there's a misunderstanding, I'm not trying to find newlines in the input data, but rather trying to specify a list of patterns to be searched for with each pattern in the list separated by a...

Thanks, I've just given it a go but still grep will only print the strings which match the final line. I just find it really weird because the info pages literally state this is a feature of grep...
