This should be fun. Share your alias collection. :)

Huh. If I ever knew about those apt-get aliases in MX-15 I have long since forgotten about them. Would have included them in the Manual...

This has reminded me that I have not reviewed these for ages, another item on the to-do list!

greywolf.
ps: you have to remember I am an old CLI/Keyboard junkie from way back. eg I still do not run graphical desktop on my servers!

[KernSpy]

Wow .. really nice .. Greywolf. It must be easier to do the servers with all
those aliases / shortcut codes and etc. I've been trying to learn the commands,
file locations, system structure and generally how things work in Linux. I have
been an off and on (mostly off) for many years. Back in the mid 90's a friend
got me into redhat, but I switched to slackware later. If I would have kept at it,
instead of constantly distro hopping and running back to Windows, I would probably
be fairly knowledgeable now with Linux. Oh well.

Anyway, I'm going to see how much of your code / bashrc, that I make use of.

Thank You!

While I was typing the above, I got thinking about - Linux user numbers. I think
my friend and I registered as Linux users and got a graphic and a number. If I
still have it, it would probably be on some of my old floppies. That wasn't
yesterday.

[timkb4cq]

The only aliases I add are the ssh commands I use to connect to my various servers, both local & remote. They are all similar to this one:
alias music='ssh -Y musicbox@192.168.1.111'

[aus9]

on page one there are some apt-get commands.
For those like me who are used to apt-get commands, recently I discovered you can drop it and just use apt like this.

Code: Select all

sudo apt search <search-term>
sudo apt update 
sudo apt upgrade 
sudo apt install <new-package>

There are still commands like apt-cache and apt-get that I have been unable to convert to apt only like $ apt-cache showpkg Thunar

Hope that helps

[eemaestro]

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade 

They do not work for me.

Code: Select all

# apt update
bash: apt: command not found
# apt upgrade
bash: apt: command not found

[aus9]

@ mods
can you split eemaestro reply and this post to a new thread as it we may be going off topic?

otherwise I can see eemaestro has already got root by the #
can he/she show the result of

Code: Select all

whereis apt

I show mine
apt: /usr/bin/apt /usr/lib/apt /etc/apt /usr/share/man/man8/apt.8.gz

Its possible to remove the apt package but the poster would needed to enter the special string
To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'

[eemaestro]

Code: Select all

# whereis apt
apt: /etc/apt /usr/lib/apt /usr/share/man/man8/apt.8.gz
# which apt

[aus9]

hmm you are missing the executable.

Can you run synaptic and see if you can reload apt?

But you may be missing more apt packages?

what do you get when you run this command?

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep apt

I show mine but some are not apt terminal stuff but GUI and scrot etc

I just chmodded my /usr/bin/apt to 000 and was still able to use synaptic to install a new package so with luck you can install any missing packages and re-install apt
I had a peek at some of your other posts and so do not try to use the chmod command on apt....it was just me trying to see if a broken apt would still work for synaptic users.


EDIT 2
OK just tested using synaptic with out the executable /usrb/bin/apt and by checking the box for apt
marking it for re-installation
clicking tick button it re-installs and I regain the missing executable.

Hope that helps
