That GUI looks really good! Nice job [member=411]bitsnpcs[/member] Smile

Quote:No not trying to create anything at the moment, I am working through the book, "The Linux Command Line", unsure how many years ago I began it...You can get The Linux Command line as pdf free from the official site http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php

I see. I too started reading that book a while ago and for some reason stopped doing it, guess I got stuck at that moment. Thanks for the link by the way.

Quote:I use LL, and Gedit for Python coding

I used to use gedit too, then tried geany, they both are fine but then I discovered sublime text and find it really nice; lightwight, handy features, easy to use. In the past I've used kate even in windows 7, which is a great editor but now I try to avoid having those kde dependencies and who knows, sometimes I fell like installing it : Smile

Althought, the text editor I use the most is nano, yeah nano all the way. Now that I think of it, nano's the reason I never really care too much for text editors.

If you fell like trying sublime text, here are the steps for installing it:

First, open a terminal and type

Code:
$ wget -qO - https://download.sublimetext.com/sublimehq-pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Code:
$ echo "deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/stable/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list

Code:
$ sudo apt-get update

Code:
$ sudo apt-get install sublime-text

Or, you can simply read more about it on its website http://www.sublimetext.com/

Cheers! Smile

I agree. Use Nano a lot myself for BASH stuff, and whatever other editor is available depending on the OS when it's necessary to be out of the CLI, and I use only Gvim for other code bases like ruby and js. I don't know if it's an attempt at a teaching method, but in a lot of tutorials I see text editors recommended for basically no particularly important reason when nano would be the easiest. Small changes might as well use a small editor.

Thank You [member=7109]Moltke[/member] Smile

it is on Github, if you want, I made gui in way so I (and others) can make other GUI from this easily by copy/paste and edit.

Earlier I made some Gimp edits to try and better show how the thought image and book commands arrived in 1 thought. It took me a lot longer to try and do this.

Maybe it helps someone if it is interesting, it is not a project, or meant to be accurate, it is just showing the process of my thought as images when learning.

The image/thought was based on Systemback as this is the only backup software my eyes had seen.

[Image: bubl1.png]

The image didn't have the highlight, I just use it to show the description below of commands from book and the ideas of how I thought they might be able to be used from a beginner perspective, but likely wrong lol.

1 - ls -t /directory/of/images display image filenames of backups made of HOME at #3, and list by date order.

2 - ls /dev/sd* output destination box, drop down menu for selection of sd* locations

3 - ?? needs command to create an image file from collection of HOME directory contents

4 - dd if=/dev/sdb of=flash_drive.img need to change command to make image of entire OS not of the example flash_drive

5 - ?? run install media from #4

6 - dd if=input_file of=output_file [bs=block_size [count=blocks]] where input file is output of/ or stored image of #4

7 - sudo fsck /location/of/file system file system check and repair

8 - sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

9 - add embedded text window, mirroring the terminal output inside the GUI from #6 so any errors are visible.

[member=7109]Moltke[/member] maybe now you can see why I said it was just thoughts based on the commands as I don't know enough to do this, many others would know though.
After the image thought, in popped its description thought -

"Bubl is a blend of LL, Cli, Python and Tk, cooked at 420F and seasoned with Love Smile

[member=5916]trinidad[/member] Yeah, nano's the one I always use the most. I very often find myself typing

Code:
$ nano somefile

in a terminal. I'm so used to it and have learned its key shortcuts...well most of them 8) Vim, Vi, Gvim I've always wanted to learn how to use Vi/Vim since I read a lot of articles claiming its not just one more editor but THE EDITOR LOL, but its "user unfriendliness" makes me always type the one Vi/Vim command I ever learnt :q! ;D

[member=411]bitsnpcs[/member] I can only say: WOW! Nicely done girl! Like I said in a previous post I'm just learning how to create GUIs with python ;D using those two programs I told you about.

What does ftw stand for [member=2]Jerry[/member] ? I googled for it and found some curious and fun meanings:

forget the world, for the worms, full throttle workshop, forever together whenever (this one I kind of like it Smile

), face the world, florida tax watch, for the wolf, Forschungszentrum Telekommunikation Wien, for the wii, for the weak, free the weed, fight to win, feel the wrath, for the win, follow the way, f##k the world (I don't know why but I suspect this is it) and a few others. ;D

Re: ls /dev - bitsnpcs - 09-23-2018

"fsck the world"
