I've always added the swapon command to /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Trapster

Looks advanced. Does it work in Bookworm?

I do not know. I don't use Bookworm. (32bit only here)

Slacko-7 from years past had this little gem for backups, snap2.

@Governor

Out of curiosity, how many backups do you have (compressed and uncompressed)?

For future ref to open script in lxterminal

Put your script in an exectable file, ie /usr/local/bin/random-passwords:

#!/bin/bash

for i in $(seq 1 10); do echo $(tr -dc 'A-Za-z0-9!"#$%&()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~' < /dev/urandom | head -c 16) ;done

Create another executable file in /usr/local ...

Is urxvt in /usr/local/bin/defaultterminal? If so, can you change it to lxterminal?

another option (probably not the correct way):
rename urxvt to urxvt-orig and symkink lxterminal to urxvt.

It seems that message is from the different levels of kernel logging

Try this.
Create a file /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf

inside /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf write:
kernel.printk=1

Reboot and see if it works.

Trapster

Get rid of the $ signs in your grub.conf.

I don't have rclone but if you're running it in a script, you can always add this to the end of the script:

Code: Select all

xmessage -center "sync is complete"

Trapster

If you want a list of filenames with the full path, open a terminal in the directory you want and use:

Code: Select all

find "$PWD" > /root/list.txt

You could also do:

Code: Select all

find /some/directory > /root/list.txt

Trapster

Remember to quote your echo's

You could also send the results to a file. then have the file open.
find "$DIR" | sort | uniq -i --all-repeated=separate > /root/find_results.txt
geany /root/find_results.txt

#!/bin/bash

DIR="$1"
if [ ! -d "$DIR" ]; then
echo "Please provide a directory as first ...

You can change the highlight color of grep by using an environment variable, GREP_COLOR, which you can set like this:

export GREP_COLOR="01;32"

where "01" means: bold and "32" green. The default is "01:31" (bold red). Other colors:

31:red
32:green
33:yellow
34:blue
35:purple

Are the firewalls on?
Try turning off the firewall to connect.

This is my /etc/asound.conf:

Apt can be used to clean itself

apt clean → cleans the packages and install script in /var/cache/apt/archives/

apt autoclean → cleans obsolete deb-packages, less than clean

apt autoremove → removes orphaned packages which are not longer needed from the system, but not purges them, use the --purge ...

I have found an easy-4.3.5(Dunfell) for my old asus laptop but it seems outdated and updates do not work.
What and where is the latest 32bit EasyOS?

Trapster

Try here:

Nice idea.
It might be handy to show the current nameservers when starting the script.

Trapster

Isn't that what /etc/resolv.conf.head and /etc/resolv.conf.tail is for?

Trapster

Quick and dirty, something like this will work.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

curl -s https://ipinfo.io/$(curl -s https://ipinfo.io/ip) | grep city | cut -c 10- > /tmp/city.txt

xmessage -center -bg orange -fg black -file /tmp/city.txt

I have used these guys in the past with good luck.
Router came pre-installed with DD-WRT and they will also set up a router with your vpn credentials for an extra fee.

Trapster

For those who like to know where the vpn is connected to(from) without using a browser,
use this in a console:

Code: Select all

curl -s https://ipinfo.io/$(curl -s https://ipinfo.io/ip) | grep city | cut -c 10-

I also use this in conky.

# Loop through the days and create the schedule

The executables should have installed to /usr/bin
There are 5 of them that start with vmware-****.

The desktop file is /usr/share/applications/vmware-view.desktop and executes /usr/bin/vmware-view.
You can drag this file to your desktop.
If clicking on that file doesn't work, try vmware-view in a ...
