There are quite a few offline update methods out there, e.g. apt-offline, apt-get, AptMedium, Keryx, etc. Is there any differences in terms of convenience, integrity, or security? Which one is preferred? Which one should be stayed away?
@Seth look, I'm seriously involved in this topic, you already told me that this topic is not of your interests, so stay away of it, please, and let me improve the situation
@Braiam Now you are doing it again. I never said the "topic was not of my interests", actually being a moderator makes it of my interest. Secondly, you are not making things better, you are making things worse and have been repeatedly asked and told to stop. Do you really want to make things even worse?
Whoa, whoa, slow down a little. Again, not all software sources questions are about apt. For example, this question has nothing to do with apt, just generating some sources.
@Braiam your wiki does not automatically "invalidate" other tags.
> Refering to editing the software sources in Ubuntu. Can be done graphically through System Settings > Software Sources or from the command line using APT.
"editing the software sources" which are what?
sources.list has never been "software sources" but "List of configured APT data sources"
How can I add an unlisted repository to my Software Sources via its (http/ftp)://... URL?
I am not referring to a single entry in the /etc/apt/sources.list.
The URL I am referring to points to a full-and-complete repository (security updates main restricted universe mutliverse).

@Seth look, if the tag was used to mean "for questions about using the graphical tool called software sources, provided by the software-properties" I would say, fine, that tag is ok
but right now, is stealing questions from the apt tag
I know you would. However, the tag has a greater meaning than that.
@Braiam That's just silly. If the question is about apt and the software sources, they should be using both tags. You are pretty much the only person I know who likes to tag questions with only one tag.
There will be miss-tagged questions. This is life.
"software sources" just means the sources of my software. It can mean the GUI for managing it, the sources.list file or even whatever yum uses to manage its sources.
I'd say it is common knowledge. You've never heard of your.. umm... what do I call the sources of my software? Oh right, my software sources. Obviously, whoever synonymized the tags agreed with me.
I'm not sure there is a way to see who synonymized tags..
@Seth Incorrectly tagged questions are hard to find and answer. If you know of common, alternate spellings or phrasings for this tag, add them here so we can automatically correct them in the future. For example, suggest “bike” as a synonym for bicycle, or “sock” for socks.
Ok, lets remember again why are using the synonyms:

Well that was awkward... my ashtray with filters burning just set my foam seat-cushion to smoldering, but I couldn't smell it over the filters... so I had no idea it was happening until the ashtray got so hot that it shattered. Cleans up and pours bottled water on his cushion.

I've EOL release of Ubuntu 13.10. Now I want to upgrade to next release. For this I read many sites. So herein I would like to clarify & confirm ways for the same.

The beauty of with open as is that you don't have to close it.
with open(some_file, 'r') as f:
content = f.read()
or
f = open(some_file, 'r')
content = f.read()
f.close()
It is good practice to use the with keyword when dealing with file objects. This has the advantage that the file is properly closed after its suite finishes, even if an exception is raised on the way. It is also much shorter than writing equivalent try-finally blocks:
>>> >>> with open('workfile', 'r') as f: ... read_data = f.read() >>> f.closed True
sudo apt-get autoremove .

it's okay, the too soon was more for comedic value. for me it's never too soon though. i like standup comics that pull something really nasty then follow with "what? too soon?"

How do we feel about requests for learning materials? Questions like "Where can I find a good tutorial on foo?" or "Is there a book for learning bar?" or "Can you suggest an online course on baz?" etc. I feel that such questions are not a good fit for the site because:
They are not about a prob...
But questions asking where I can find answers are off topic on all SE sites. We want to provide answers here, not a map of where you can find them elsewhere.
boy did i bite off a chunk for this weekend... bump xdot.py to pygi and figure out parsing the libmagic mlist from python, so i can dynamically list all possible return values from a call to libmagic
in a while(<>) it is the current line, in a foreach (@array) it is the current element of the array. In general it is the current value of whatever it is you are looping through.
Also, @Seth, it is (almost?) always optional. You can do while(<>) and there each line of your input file is automatically stored as $_ or you can write while($line=<>) and it is stored as $line. It's up to you.
Case in point, running 2 instances of handbrake, downloading with ktorrent, using chrome/firefox to create a site that was really badly coded and the swap is only saying 100kb
Actually I did use sleep
It works without me having swap so big
which goes against the normal thinking of having swap big for hibernation cases
@hbdgaf One quick question, are hibernation and suspend the same? I think hibernation actually goes to a deep sleep state, whereas suspend sends everything to memory, so that might be the reason why it works.
i'm with you buddy. but not everyone has the clarity and do one thing right mindset microsoft cough
relatively pleased that i think i found the code section to get the "possible file id types" blob out $ grep -r 'mlist' . | grep -v apprentice | grep -v .sh ./src/softmagic.c: struct mlist *ml; ./src/softmagic.c: for (ml = ms->mlist[0]->next; ml != ms->mlist[0]; ml = ml->next) ./src/softmagic.c: struct mlist ml; ./src/file.h:struct mlist { ./src/file.h: struct mlist *next, *prev; ./src/file.h: struct mlist *mlist[MAGIC_SETS]; /* list of regular entries */ ./src/file.h:protected int file_magicfind(struct magic_set *, const char *, struct mlist *);

it's a function in the file utility to list out match names by walking the mlist and looking for descriptions. related to a feature-request bug i opened against python-magic.
I am writing a script, that will setup lxc on the host, and then configure a container. I want this script to be unattended.

function sudo!!
set -l __sudorepeat_cur (history | head -n 1)
if [ ! -e "sudo!!" $__sudorepeat_cur ]
set -u $__sudorepeat_prev $__sudorepeat_cur
end
sudo $__sudorepeat_cur
end
I haven't tried it but this sounds about right
(assuming set -l is the way to make function-local vars and set -u is the way to make universal variables that sync between terminals and persist between sessions)
If nothing else something that's kind of complicated is much easier to hack together when the syntax isn't a convoluted piece of shit :P
as for just repeating the previous comment that's kind of harder, as (history | head -n 1) is not legal for some reason
