Most slide show programs can work of a list of files to show. For example 'feh' has an option '-f ' which will take a file that contains a list of image files one file per line which it will then...
Version 4.12.1 is available from the xtradeb games PPA. That PPA has been around since the end of 2020 and is dedicated to making newer versions of programs available for supported versions of...
'.desktop' is not one file, it's the extension for files that hold information about starting a program from the GUI, one '*.desktop' file per program. For programs installed through 'apt' - meaning...
Yeah, we're talking past each other. My first solution (post #2) did just what you are saying now. It took the names from the file, removed the three digits at the beginning of the (new) name to get...
If you're talking about '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/wrapper-2.0', then that's a program for running the panel-plugins found in '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/'. Those are...
It's not a problem, it's the exact same file since /bin/ is a symlink to /usr/bin these days.

Each letter of 'REISUB' starts one part of a semi-controlled shutdown. The 'S' does a sync - basically writing out any unwritten pages of the cache, the 'U' unmounts all file systems, and the 'B'...
So Krusader doesn't open archives ? That was always the big feature for me in midnight commander (mc, a dual pane file manager in the terminal). It treats archives as if they were directories - just...
As I said, 'unzip' will unpack one file per call. By enclosing the list of files in quotes in post #6, you've turned it into one token. So now unzip looks for one file named...
Yes, you're missing the 'for i in ' part, which tells the shell that this is a loop and the variable i should be set to one of the listed values at the beginning of each iteration. You also might...
cd the/target/directory
unzip path/to/the/zipfile
or
unzip path/to/the/zipfile -d the/target/directory
'unzip' will unpack the given file into the current working directory or the...
In GiMP: Edit->Preferences->Interface, Field "Language". You should have two choices there, "English (en_us)" and "Systemsprache". The latter switches to the language your system is set to. GiMP...
The address '127.0.0.1' is one of the addresses assigned to the loopback interface. It's meant exclusively for accessing servers running on the same machine as the client. So your browser on your...
The way to do this has changed a few times and the instructions in the wiki seem to be stuck at some point in time far in the past. Follow the link to...
What version of Xubuntu are you using ? On Xubuntu 22.04 I can create an encrypted USB-stick (LUKS2) using the gnome-disks utility and if I plug it in I get asked for the password and then it comes...
I assumed that you already have both (text) files, the one with the original names and the one with the new names including the numbers. I pointed out that the file with the original names isn't...
Depending on whether you are using Ubuntu or one of the flavours 16.04 has been out of support since 2021 (or 2019 for flavours) and 18.04 has been out of support since 2023 (or 2021 for flavours)....
The .max of 3ds max and the ones from Paperport are very unlikely to be even remotely similar. 3D Studio Max is (like blender) a program for creating three dimensional graphics and it's .max format...
The actual snap packages are stored in /var/lib/snapd/snaps/. There should be one file with the extension 'snap' in that directory on the old system that is the application you want to transfer and...
If the names in the second list are the same as the ones in the first list except for the numbers in the beginning, then you don't even need to have the first list for a script to do the renaming.

Also aliases are not expanded in non-interactive shells, so you can't use them in scripts. If you need alias-like functionality inside a script you should use a function. Functions are a lot more...
I don't know what version (and flavour) of Ubuntu you're using, but on Xubuntu 22.04 there is no libusb-1.0.so; there is a '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusb-1.0.so.0.3.0' with a symbolic link...
There's an official repository by Mozilla for Firefox as a Debian package. You need to set some preferences to stop it from 'updating' to snap but once that's done everything works as expected. See...
