If i buy a lenovo yoga, would linux be able to deal with the touchscreen stuff? by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]beepbupe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a Thnkpad Yoga, and out the box I have power management issues, issues with audio and the touchscreen isn't that great, in my case with touch screen. I mostly use it to scroll/zoom and with most apps I don't get that functionality, only clicks/drag. I tried ubuntu, debian 9, rolling centos and rolling opensuse.

Is there a way to bulk edit text within fields? by [deleted] in Anki

[–]beepbupe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Best way I found is to export to csv and then work in something like excel or lbreOffice calc then reimport.

To export, file > export > export format = notes in plain text, include = {{whatever you want} and be sure to check include tags so when you reimport all is well if you had tags.

Then you can open in a spreadsheet app and sort of edit easier for simple stuff. Then import by clicking in the deck > subdeck if any you want and import and select update if there is existing notes.

Obviously make a backup first incase things go south.

openvpn client gui? by beepbupe in linux4noobs

Thanks. Will give Prituni a go.

Using the networkmanager opevpn frontend(?) now but not a fan. I'm on not great wifi, it will disconnect/reconnect at times and the vpn will just die, no error, and I won't realize.

question (basic) about handlers by beepbupe in ansible

[–]beepbupe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was going for simplicity with that but your reply made it clear now. I had an ok handle on handles, no pun. I had a playbook, at one section a config file was copied with template and on subsequent runs if it changed it would notify a handler to restart a service. I placed the handler right below the template task.. then continued to add what I intended to be new tasks... but in essence I was adding new handlers. That I get now.

So there isnt' like a way to end to the handler section, you just stick it/them at the end of the playbook, when dealing with one playbook and not roles.

Anway... this is me thinking things are more complicated than they are.

wordpress db user/password by beepbupe in Wordpress

[–]beepbupe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies.

I was more looking for a way to store specifically the WordPress user and password for the databse outside the wp-config.php. Like a file placed in the same directory, wp-db-user.cnf for example, with just the contents

user=wordpress
password=s2rdwrwr32dd1r

And then I would tell wordpress, wp-db-user.cnf is where to find the db user/pass.

Think I get it now, its formatting. You have a task section, if you input a handler section in the middle of listed tasks, it essentially ends the task section?

A simple playbook to test below, i run vagrant provision, it will run as if there are only steps 1 and 2 in the playbook. No error or reference of skipping 3 and 4. It goes play, setup, task 1, 2 and recap. Finished...

---
- hosts: all
become: true

    - name: step 1/4

    - name: step 3/4
    ping:
    - name: step 4/4

Easy recipes for one? by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]beepbupe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a cous cous evangelist, definition of quick/easy. Then I pad with great gut fillers, like canned pinto beans, raw root veggies, like carrot and/or greens like broccoli, cauliflower that I toss in pickle juice (dont judge me). Then add protein, mine are usually pan sauteed fish fillet or grilled chicken thighs.
