Exactly. You could parse the output of `docker inspect` and evaluate it in more detail, but you'd need an extra tool like `jq` which is not granted to be installed, and in the end it's only relevant if the string exists in the output or not. Hence a simple `grep` suffices. (more) |

A: How to identify which Docker container an overlay is for? You can find that when you run `docker inspect $CONTAINER`. You can automate this with a simple loop like this: ```bash for CONTAINER in $(docker ps -qa); do docker inspect $CONTAINER |grep -q $DIRNAME && docker ps -a |grep $CONTAINER; done ``` where `$DIRNAME` is the overlay directory ...

A: If I have /home on a separate partition, how can I move it back to the root partition? A general overview: 1. Log in as root directly, no `sudo` or `su` (you may need to activate it temporarily, depending on your distribution) or boot from a live system 2. unmount `/home` and mount it somewhere else ( e.g. `/mnt/`) 3. move your data from your temporary mountpoint to `/home` 4. un...

The short form for the given command would be `tar xzf archive.tar.gz`.
It's a good habit to have the `f` argument at the end, because older versions of tar expect the archive name immediately after it, so `tar xfz archive.tar.gz` would fail.
For modern versions of tar the order of the argument... (more) |

`That will result in a directory named according to the archive` - this is wrong. It will only create a directory if it already exists inside the tarball, and with the name stored within. The name of the archive file is irrelevant. Without a directory inside the tarball the files/directories will be ... (more) |

I have the need to disable this capability. ... (more) |

A: How can I efficiently create a collage of video thumbnails on Linux? Of course, being a swiss army knife `ffmpeg` already has this capability builtin: ```shell ffmpeg -i Example.mp4 -vf "select=not(mod(n\,20)),scale=200:-1,tile=5x4:padding=2:color=white" -vsync 0 -frames:v 1 output.jpg ``` The result is about the same: Output image of ffmpeg, a 5x4 grid of ...

A: How can I efficiently create a collage of video thumbnails on Linux? bash does not support floating point operations, so at least for a short video `$interval` will always be `0`. That way you always get the same frame, which by chance probably was black for your video. You notice that if you place an `echo` in front of your `ffmpeg` call to check the actual comman... (more) |

If you can't reach it until you logged in it doesn't sound like sleep or hibernate, it rather sounds like the RDP service is only started at login time. What happens if you log in and leave the machine es it is? Does the RDP connection stop working after some time, or only after a reboot or logout? (more) |

I did not try it, but my guess is that if you leave it empty it will be mounted in the same default location as it is mounted now. If you are fine with the location currently shown to you just leave it as it is. (more) |
