Introduction
My question arises from the necessity of understanding why I have now (after multiple trials) Terminal and tmux which support 256 colours even with tput colors that tells me they are only 8.
Background
Let's start from the beginning.
I'm using a Ubuntu box, Guake, tmux, Vim and...
when an upgrade takes hours, it's annoying that there are configuration prompts now and then in the middle
I think there's a way to avoid config file overwrite prompt. But what would be neat would be proper integration with etckeeper — keep the local stuff and the upstream versions in their own branches.
@Braiam Not as far as I can tell for either. I guess people think that ppas are somehow magic and different just cause they have their own add-apt syntax. You might want to edit that to clarify that PPAs are exactly the same as other repositories but they are simply more easily used with UBuntu 'cause of the ppa: format
That might pacify some downvoters , I meant downvoters!
@Gilles thanks for expanding on that comment and answering in Braiam's thread earlier, I didn't have time to put together something worth posting as an A
apt-get -s install tkdoc
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package tkdoc is a virtual package provided by:
tk8.6-doc 8.6.0-1
tk8.5-doc 8.5.14-2
tk8.4-doc 8.4.20-1
You should explicitly select one to install.
@terdon ^
I haven't found the documentation still... but I know apt-cache is rather bad managing virtual packages
apt-cache search tkdoc
tk8.4-doc - Tk toolkit for Tcl and X11, v8.4 - manual pages
tk8.5-doc - Tk toolkit for Tcl and X11, v8.5 - manual pages
tk8.6-doc - Tk toolkit for Tcl and X11, v8.6 - manual pages
in windows files are stored within folders; is it possible any other alternate way for storage of files? i.e. there may be some file which may requrie multiple tags/folder name!!!
Binary package hint: nautilus
Nautilus provides search through Tracker. The "Tracker Search Tool" provides an easy way to tag files (using Tracker) from within it. However, Nautilus does not. I would like to see the addition of such an interface to Nautilus, possibly with features utilizing it (tag cloud like thing).
@jackopen I have no idea what you're trying to do. I spend most of my time on the command line so we probably have very different ideas on what is cumbersome :)
@jackopen this is what he was talking about. it's worth noting, though, that on GNU/Linux systems links work at the filesystem level (so all applications see them) whereas on Windows, links (shortcuts, not junction links) work at the application level
that means that on Windows links are essentially data files of Windows Explorer, and if an application doesn't explicitly handle them, they won't work
@strugee i have no enough english language or computer/software background so that i can formulate a good question; hence i always prefer to clarify my doubts thru chat as chat has less rules
@jackopen also, don't worry about English. Bad English is not a problem, as long as you showe that you tried to find a solution, we'd be happy to fix the English for you. Just try to always write I (as in I am) with a CAPITAL letter, everything else, we'll deal with :)
I guess information can be stored either in form of document, media(audio,video etc..), graphical(charts,images etc..) ways. Let us say there is a document which is having different information together (Important & garbage), Putting simply If a 50 page PDF document has mixed information (Important
@jackopen uhhh, 1) don't use "&" unless is code, prefer and; 2) that post would need some line breaks, separate the whole thing is paragraphs; 3) how would you answer that question?
@jackopen A few quick pieces of advice: 1) Use paragraphs, break your question up with whitespace, it is very hard to read otherwise 2) Make sure your question is on topic. You are asking on programmers but you show no code and are not asking about programming 3) make your question clear. Have a single sentence that states what you are asking
4) Be specific, how would you define "garbage" and "not garbage"? The computer does not know 5) Show THAT YOU HAVE TRIED to answer your question, research and show that research.
@jackopen none. It is extremely unclear, I have no idea what you want to do, you know what "garbage" and "not garbage" is, for the computer it is just data. Read up a bit first, learn the basics, then ask
@jackopen yes, you know it's corrupted. The computer might not and having it understand corrupted vs non-corrupted data can be very hard.
The computer just sees data, how will it know that Sean Connery was not in the Titanic? How can it tell. Anyway, seriously, go READ some basic stuff. Wikipedia for example, try and learn the basics before asking on SE sites. They're not there for the really basic stuff, they expect you to have done your research. If you don't want to, there are thousands of forums that might be willing to help, just not these.
@Gilles and @terdon : for the record, I don't use aptitude. I also increasingly don't recommend anyone else do so either. A simple glance at the aptitude mailing list should show you why. A recent message show Daniel Hartwig try to boot out that Manuel guy, though I doubt he has the authority, and others objecting.
At one point aptitude was considered as the replacement for the apt command line tools; in fact the apt command line tools were once considered nothing but demos till a "proper" front-end tool for apt came along. Some people thought that would be aptitude. But there never was anyone but Daniel Burrows working on it, and he disappeared a couple of years ago.
Since then there really has been nobody working on aptitude. Daniel Hartwig and Manuel have been doing some basic maintenance, but it is has been quite acrimonious.
In contrast, apt and the apt command line tools (apt-get, apt-cache etc) is being maintained, mostly by David, who came along in 2009, and pretty much rescued apt single handed. So, for now the apt command line tools are preferred.
Daniel Burrows once commented how ironical it was that the VCS darcs, which basically nobody uses, has a healthy and active development community, because it is cool or something.
In contrast, apt. which, um, more people use, has basically nobody working on it. Apparently because people don't like working on medium-sized C++ projects.
This is an unofficial list of new features and various changes to Stack Overflow and the Stack Exchange network.
It is maintained by the community, but an SO developer would change the Accepted Answer to ensure that the latest changes remain on top (given default user settings).
To see the list...
What are some features of this site that you consider "hidden"?
For example, I didn't know about the RSS feeds until Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky discussed them on the podcast.
in the above code awk searches for the letter W: from that file and prints the 5th column starting from 26th position
i want to add another if condition like W:
like i have to make awk to get only the line starting with W: and it contists of the word www.If both are true, then it have to do the operation { print substr($5,26) }' on that file.

It's one of those Mondays that are really really Mondays... I was adding some functionality to a script a while back. Turns out someone else did, too, only that person didn't bother using git and instead was working with the old version control thingy that unfortunately wasn't shut down when we switched over. So now I get to merge his additions with mine.
Because I don't trust him to do it right, so I volunteer rather than getting to fix his mess later.
other than SO/SE chat , IRC chat which are good resources? for chatting about programming.softwares etcc.. stuffs i dont think github has a chat module!! reddit uses irc again!! which are other alternates you may know? which are good online web scrapper & web crawlers?
@JennyD I never manage to save one file with emacs, I can modify whatever I want but I never (even when I was studying and the teacher told us) manage to save a file and exit...
