How to retreiv specific text from terminal output? I have installed tlp webupd8.org/2013/04/improve-power-usage-battery-life-in.html inside my system to prevent laptop over heating. I want to retrieve the cpu temperature from tlp. I used this code " tlp-stat -t " but it gives result like this

CPU temp = 51 [°C]
Fan speed = (not available)

@NathanOsman and @hbdgaf Are you still fiddling around with your Sudoku solvers? I tried my strategy on a piece of paper with a grid declared as "hard" and got stuck... So I cheated a bit and did a research - I wish I didn't! Did you ever hear of strategies like "3D Medusa", "Death Blossom", "Franken Swordfish" or "Sue-de-Coq"? There were about 40 strategies like this and mine covered less than 5... I feel like giving up after that, especially as the set still is not complete... :P

I still try coding a solver with the strategies I came up with originally and see how far it gets me. Then I might add one or two of the simpler ones from that guru...

Logging out now for preparing diner and burying my head in sudoku grids later... See you!

terdon

@heemayl Hi! Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I was away.

muru

8:31 PM

" Unless --native was given, dh_make makes sure a original source archive
(<packagename>_<version>.orig.tar.gz) exists. The archive can either
end with .gz or one of the other supported compression extensions such
as bz2 or lzma. If no such file exists, the file specified with -f is
copied in place. If no -f is supplied either but --createorig is, the
current directory is created into a news archive
../<packagename>-<version>.orig.tar.gz The original archive is needed

Since you don't have a "pristine upstream", or other tarball, make one using --createorig

That was from the manpage as well.

heemayl

@terdon: No problem..nothing special..need a favor

:)

terdon

What's up?

user136984

@muru Ok, and what about the license? Do I just put it in a text file with the name of the license and then how do I get dh-make to see it?

heemayl

Can i steal your avatar ....lol

terdon

Huh?

What for? That's me!

I mean, it's a picture of me.

muru

8:39 PM

@Toroidal tried -c path/to/license?

heemayl

lol

is it CC BY?

Don't worry..i won't

just liked the picture very much

terdon

Probably not actually. I guess I may have made it so by posting it here but the photo was actually taken by a friend of mine who's a photographer.

It's a nice photo, yes :)

I don't really mind if you use it I guess, it's just kind of strange since, well, it's me.

heemayl

probably my favorite of all SE avatars..

user136984

@muru And do I have to put the license in the same folder that the bash script is in that I am packaging or can it be anywhere? And do I have to call the license file a specific thing or can it be anything, and the extensions, can it just a file called "license.txt"?

heemayl

liked it since the first day

terdon

8:42 PM

Awww :)

heemayl

so you are a guitarist too!!!!!

terdon

Here's the original:

muru

@Toroidal it gets copied to the debian/copyright file, IIRC

user136984

Ok

heemayl

noooo

the pic was the original

terdon

8:43 PM

user136984

@muru Thanks! :)

heemayl

trust me!!

muru

@Toroidal oh wait

I just checked manpage

heemayl

oh i see

you meant the image

terdon

I just cut out a bit.

muru

8:44 PM

-c accepts a few fixed licenses like gpl, mit, bsd, etc

if it's a custom one, don't use -c, but cpy it later to debian/copyright manually

heemayl

yeah..brilliant take i must say

terdon

Yup, the guy's a pro.

user136984

@muru I am planning to use either GPL V2, or V3, so how will I get it to do either of those?

terdon

And we were all moving. A lot.

heemayl

seems so..you play guitar a lot?

user136984

8:45 PM

Do I just do the -c and then the name of the license?

user136984

And what names would it except?

muru

-c gpl or -c gpl2

terdon

:

user136984

@muru So gpl would be v1 or default v3?

muru

 -c, --copyright license
          Use license type in copyright file.  license can be  gpl,  gpl2,
          gpl3,  lgpl, lgpl2 lgpl3, artistic, apache, bsd or mit.

terdon

8:46 PM

@heemayl Yeah, quite a bit. It's one of my great pleasures in life.

user136984

@muru Oh, ok, thanks! :)

muru

gpl and lgpl will give you
version 3 of the corresponding license, apache implies Apache
v2.0. If you need a different version, change the license file
afterwards or use the gpl2 and lgpl2 options.

user136984

Ok

heemayl

man..you are multi-dimensional..

It's odd, I could have sworn that I had read that part of the man page... :D

heemayl

muru

@Toroidal aliens, more likely. :D

user136984

:D

user136984

@muru: By the way, what does it mean in the man pages when it says "Use license type in copyright file"? Which copyright file?

heemayl

8:50 PM

lets see if i can control my temptation to steal it...i don't know may be i will steal it.....so just letting you know beforehand..lol

muru

@Toroidal debian/copyright

user136984

@muru So does it create it? Or do I?

muru

after you run dh_make, a folder named debian will be created

it will contain essential files for packaging like debain/{control,rules,copyright} etc

If you don't specify -c, there will be some boilerplate in debian/copyright

user136984

@muru: Ok, thanks! :)
