Upgrading the family

Yesterday, my daughter brought me her computer and ask for Linux. I installed Linux Mint on her Mac Mini.
Today, my wife asked for some Linux too. Asked and answered.


May the Linux community smile upon my pure Linux family.

Clear current line - command prompt

Hitting up arrow cycles through past commands. Sometimes, I accidentally hit up arrow and if I hit the down arrow right after it will go back to the blank line. But sometimes it doesn't, and the last command just stays there. If it's a long command, it's a pain to have to delete it. Any way to clear the whole line quickly?

Nervous about finally making the move to Linux

Hey folks, I hope this post is alright! I've been flirting with switching to Linux for my personal computer for a while: been running a dual boot of Ubuntu for machine learning, trying to get used to working with the shell, and figuring out how to get my software and games to function. I think I'm finally ready to switch to a full Linux boot for my personal laptop (deciding between a maxed out "System 76" Oryx Pro running Pop and a Lambda Labs Tensorbook running Ubuntu [any advice between these two options would of course be appreciated!]).

But I'm a nervous type guy, just waiting for this all to fall apart and learn that I'm not as capable of living beyond the safety net/stranglehold of Windows 10. So let me ask: what was the single biggest issue you had when you first switched to Linux, and how did you get past it? Looking for some stories to inspire confidence in me this week!

Hi Linux! I'm new to this community and OS... Can you recommend me a decent Video editor Tool for light 1080p footage?

I said light video editing footage because I will be using my Chromebook Pixelbook go (8th gen Intel core i5, 8gm ram) with LinuxBeta enable on it...

So I think like daVinci is out of question (or I'm wrong?)

So, reading a lot of you guys recommend Kdenlive.. but I also Read is super unstable.
Olive maybe?

If you can share with me any advice I'll appreciate it!

I wrote a youtube-dl wrapper to easily download and manage youtube audio(s) (with added features)

Hi all,

I wrote a simple youtube-dl wrapper program _(with added features)_ in python that helps in easy management of youtube audio(s)/playlists - **yt-audio**

It is cross-platform (Windows/Linux/MacOS) (Not tested on MacOS since I do not have Mac hardware - But it should work).

The code is available on [github](https://github.com/pseudoroot/yt-audio). Users can download yt-audio using [pip](https://pypi.org/project/yt-audio/). Arch Linux users can use [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yt-audio/) as well.

$ [sudo] pip3 install --upgrade yt-audio


**Denoscription and Features**

yt-audio is a command-line program that is used download and manage audio from youtube.com. It is a youtube-dl wrapper program, which means it uses youtube-dl as backend for downloading audio. yt-audio tries to make audio/playlist management easy for users. It is cross-platform (Windows/Linux/MacOS).

**Features**

- **Configure/Setup your own command-line arguments** for managing noscripts/playlists
- Ability to save each audio/playlist to a different directory (directory specified in argument).
- Option to keep track of already-downloaded playlist noscripts **with or without archive file.**.
- Manage single/playlist audio(s)

Usage example (more info in documentation) -


# Synchronizes/downloads --custom1 and --custom2 custom argument URLs and download specified URL as well.

$ yt-audio --custom1 --custom2 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=abcxyz


# Saves playlist to /my/path/p1/<PlaylistName>/ and single audio to /some/another/path

$ yt-audio https://youtube.com/playlist?list=abcxyz::/my/path/p1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abcxyz::/some/another/path

**Important Note:** yt-audio uses configuration file to store custom arguments and other user settings. The config file is _not_ installed/copied during installation. The user has to copy the config file manually. Please read [config file setup instructions](https://github.com/pseudoroot/yt-audio#custom-arguments) for details.

More details about the project are available on [github](https://github.com/pseudoroot/yt-audio).

I am open to suggestions. Please [raise an issue](https://github.com/pseudoroot/yt-audio/issues) if you found a bug or have a feature request :)

Search and print certain lines after a Grep search

I am working on certain log file and there a particular ID I searching for example lets say that 'XYZ' and now i am printing 5 lines before the term and 20 lines after the term.



Using command :-

&#x200B;

grep -A 20 -B 5 "xyz" filename.txt

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

but i would like to minimize my search. I want to print -B5 but i dont want to print -A20 because i need only 2 lines after the term "XYZ". The problem is: these 2 lines appear randomly after the term XYZ in no particular order. lets say both of them are Line X, Line Y. Now Line X might appear on the 5th line after xyz and Line Y might appear on the 15th line, so there in no way to pin point there line number after each grep search. Therefore i was printing the whole 20 lines.

I would really like to print only the 5 lines before Xyz and then the term Xzy follow by these two lines.

&#x200B;

Required output eg:

line 1

line 2

line 3

line 4

line 5

XYZ

LINE X

LINE Y

Any tips for a first time linux user?

Hello, I am a lifelong windows user and I have recently decided to dual boot Ubuntu Linux on a laptop I own (not on my main PC). My past Linux experience is completely contained in carefully following instructions to installing retro pie a couple times. What should I know?

EDIT: To be more specific I'll take anything that's different from windows, ie I know how to copy and paste, I don't know how the terminal works.

Since the free version of Davinci Resolve doesn't support h.264 on Linux, what file format does everyone recommend I work with? (I'd like to keep transcoding to a minimum where possible)

Thunderbolt 3 daisy chaining, is there a way to monitor utilization?

I may be thinking of this wrong, but looking for advice. I have quite a few intel nucs in my lab, and utilize tb3 pcie breakout boxes to run things like 10gbe nics, nvme cards, sometimes egpu and so on. Each "node" has thunderbolt in and out, where I can connect another device. Is there a way to measure or monitor the usage of the the bus? Does each device share or claim a lane? If I run an nvme pcie card would that kill performance of the tb3 "chain"?
