Re: Didnt realize Id be using my Chromebook so much
I've been following this thread with great interest. Have either of you spent time on your Chromebook but away from the Internet for any length of time (days)? How did things hold up? My internet connection in Spain is spotty to say the least.

Re: Best & worst laptop brands 2020
Now, I've had an ASUS X550CA for several years. I got it in Dubai when I was there on holiday (and my then current laptop died) c/w 8GB RAM. It's had Vista (installed), (up)graded to 8.0 then 8.1, now 10, currently 1909. Dual booted with several Linuxes, now basically 64 bit Void. Changed to 1TB mai...

Re: Lenovo releases Thinkpads and Thinkstations with Ubuntu preinstalled
"The only reason it's not a good mainstream choice is because Fedora has Red Hat supporting them, not Microsoft..."
Isn't it odd that Lenovo, who bought IBM's PC division, should not support a distro that is now owned by IBM?

phpBB hosting
Hi all, I'm thinking of starting a BB for my neighbours (in the UK) - max about a dozen users. I've got a small setup working with phpBB, lightppd, mariadb and php7 (on a raspberry pi b). Which host do you guys use? Do they include the above software? Or is there a better way to do it (e.g. switch l...

Re: Find and delete lines in .desktop files
As an aside/addition if you change the grep bit to:
you get rid of blank lines too.
Note capital E and vertical bar separator between regex bits.
Code: Select all
grep -v -E '.*\[.*\]=|^$' "filename"
Note capital E and vertical bar separator between regex bits.

Re: Find and delete lines in .desktop files
A safer way to do what you want:
And then restart to make sure your "new" .desktop files are working. Only then delete the .backup files
Code: Select all
for i in *.desktop; do cp "$i" "$i.backup"; grep -v '.*\[.*\]=' "$i.backup" > "$i"; done

Re: Find and delete lines in .desktop files
Code: Select all
grep -v '.*\[.*\]=' textmaker-free18.desktop
will print ONLY lines NOT containing:
Something[something]= from the file textmaker-free18.desktop
Note the \ escaping [ and ], and .* for any-length string

Re: Odd fonts?
Possibly this is caused by the "font-awesome" package, loaded (or not) by css? However, 'xbps-query -Rs font' lists nearly 200 font-related packages - obviously including some font manipulation packages - but 100+ of these are actual fonts. In my case I have zipped up all the fonts from my Windows f...
