Comment Post #289302 You should check to see if you can set the permissions (including SELinux?) for the running ssh-agent socket, and also set the environment variables somehow, so that this process can talk to the existing ssh-agent. When something runs ssh-agent, ssh-agent normally prints its sock and pid: ``` $ ssh...

Comment Post #289300 this sounds related to the type of systemd service/unit. Check the man pages for `systemd.service` or `systemd.unit` for `type=simple` and oneshot. This sounds like a good use case for `oneshot` but you should experiment with that.

Answer A: Starts systemd service and follow log
Assuming that `systemctl start $SERVICE.service` returns right away (some [poorly] written `StartExec` commands do not), you can run this: ``` systemctl start $SERVICE.service & journalctl -f -u $SERVICE.service ``` This is the command I run quite often when needing to investigate the startup log...

Answer A: How to decrease image size from commandline
Here goes nothing. An Internet search shows an answer on AskUbuntu#1164, author aneesheep. The gist is to install ImageMagick (try package name `imagemagick`) and then use the `convert` utility: convert -resize 20% imagesmall.png image.png You can write a wrapper script that subscribes t...

Answer A: When should you install windows dlls for wine with winetricks?
Each situation is different. Some programs in Wine/Windows will work better with the Windows dlls, and some will work better with the Wine (builtin) dlls. The best way to learn how which dlls work better for your specific application is experimentation, I'm afraid. Regarding increasing compatibili...

Question See "works for me" indicator in list of questions?
I do not see a way to tell on the main list of questions which ones have been marked as "works for me" by the OP. I can see the questions which indicate they have zero answers, but I consider any question that has no answer marked "works for me" as still open and I wish to focus on those questions...

Comment Post #281919 Thank you for pointing out `j` and `k`. I checked my preferences and there does not appear to be way to make J and K operate the way vim uses them, i.e., `j` navigates downward, and `k` navigates upward. It's trivial to use as is, but would making the switch to vim behavior before documenting the fea...

Answer A: How do I prevent remote syslog events from printing locally?
You said `rsyslog` specifically. Hopefully you are using a version new enough to use the advanced syntax (aka `RainerScript`). [1] Would something similar to the following work for you? $EscapeControlCharactersOnReceive off $template RemoteHost,"/var/log/remote/%HOSTNAME%/application.l...

Comment Post #286930 Doesn't resolution*DPI=physical size (as seen by Xorg)? Wouldn't you need to modify the resolution down or up to match the desired DPI if different from the native value for the monitor?

Answer A: Retrieve changes that closed a Debian bug
That depends on your definition of convenient. Are you familiar with git? Is the source of the relevant package stored on salsa.debian.org? If yes, then you can just run: git clone https://salsa.debian.org/debian/poppler-data cd poppler-data git diff debian/0.4.9-1 debian/0.4.9-2 ...
