In i3, is there a way to move an entire workspace to another monitor, including all windows it contains?
I have multiple screens and I often connect and disconnect monitors while the system is running. i3 assigns a workspace to each monitor, but does so unpredictably. Sometimes my main monitor is work...
Let's say I have workspaces 1, 2, 3 on screen A and 4, 5 on screen B. Currently workspaces 1 and 4 are active. With my current config, moving a window to another workspace never activates it. How...

Both replies, at different points, provided the basis for this working script. Assuming that the 12th line of file has something like: <p>HERE IS MY TITLE</p> where HERE... begi...
Use nohup(1), and redirect stdout and stderr to /dev/null The following works as expected, not having to wait until the PDF is generated. #!/bin/sh test "$1" = "refs/heads/main" || exit 0; ...

TASK I am coding up ebooks to a specific standard, and have a script that converts a string into the correct titlecase for this publisher. When working with some public domain source files, one of...
I'm trying to run a pipeline to update a PDF after every push to the 'main' branch. I want it to be atomic, so it doesn't touch the existing PDF until it has finished, so I need to use sponge(1) (...
It turns out, that Lynis test code lives in /usr/share/lynis/include/test_banners which gave me a way to find what banner is considered good. :-) In my case, it's to have 5 or more specific keyword...
Specific answer: Use gvim -f. General answer: Use the non-forking mode of your editor, i.e. if you run it in a terminal, it should wait until the editor is closed to return back control to you. E...
When hardening my system with Lynis I had information about /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net being found weak. Lynis redirects me to Enterprise, which is a paid product and a bit overkill for my home...
The pager less(1) less(1) is the usual pager nowadays; you would do well learning to use it. It's also used for paging the manual pages, in most systems. The most common operation is searching,...
I've been met with the phrase RTFM often. I recognize its value. However, the manual pages are often hard to understand and written by people who know so much about the topic at hand that they don'...
Neat idea. In favour. Bottom-up is better I'd propose bottom-up here, instead of grand idea to strive for. I'd cut the list of topics down to real basics. I agree with @KarlKnechtel on Git. I'...
Inxi has a -x, -xx, -xxx for extra details. I'd try sudo inxi -G -xxx though if it WILL report VRAM is another matter. My help says: -G Device serial number, class ID; Xorg Screen size, diag; ...

A first quick solution I hacked up was to sync via NAS. Synology NAS served as a synchro point. I synced via git repo. etckeeper was used to sync machine config, pass was used to sync passwords. S...

I think that you have two options. The literal answer would be to pass video= to the kernel. For example, you could pass video=720x400 to run the framebuffer at a 720x400 resolution, assuming that...
I switch between three computers and have never been able to keep my dotfiles in sync. I cannot put them into source control because they contain sensitive data. So, my question is: how do I share ...
This isn't exactly what you asked, but the letters-too-small problem could also be solved by using a larger console font. Here is a decent overview of how to change console fonts, though I don't k...
How can I rescale the Linux virtual terminals (ctrl + alt + {f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, f6}), so that a high-resolution display doesn't make the letters too small? I'd like to use 1080 or even 720 resolu...
You probably need to change the permissions on the file to make it executable. You can do that with chmod: chmod +x change-xkbmap.sh To verify, try running ./change-xkbmap.sh in a terminal with...
