Use apt-file search to check broken libraries belongs to which file?

X11 /extensions /Xcomposite.h No such file or directory
http://askubuntu.com/questions/801252/ddg#900768

Whenever a compile fails with a missing file simply leverage the infrastructure to search for the missing ubuntu package

apt-file search some_missing_file_goes_here # cmd 1
apt-file search X11/extensions/Xcomposite.h # cmd 1

which returns with

libxcomposite-dev: /usr/include/X11/extensions/Xcomposite.h

so solution is to install that missing package

sudo apt-get install libxcomposite-dev # cmd 2

this technique works across any missing file

On a fresh OS if you issue

apt-file search X11/extensions/Xcomposite.h

it will fail with error

The program 'apt-file' is currently not installed. To run 'apt-file' please ask your administrator to install the package 'apt-file'

which just means you need to do a one time setup of the local search cache so just run

sudo apt-get install apt-file -y
sudo apt-file update

now re-issue the search shown above (cmd 1) then install package (cmd 2)

How to get pretty tty login art at bootup?

- /etc/issue shows pretty output in tty
- but cannot run commands directly
- so redirect the output of any ascii command to issue file
eg.- neofetch > /etc/issue
but to run that command in each startup put it into /etc/rc.local

i use this fm6000 -r -c random -s zsh -de=dwm -n > /etc/issue
and put it into /etc/rc.local

# DIY clipboard manager #Notes #MyCreation

This was the part of larbs but i never able to get it working until now.

Using xclip, xdotool and dmenu to fetch clipboard contents

*Dependancies:
- xdotool
- xclip
- dmenu
- sxhkd (optional and depends on how you manage keybinds)

xclip -sel c -o will put selected clipboard content into file
using dmenu later we will get the list of copied texts
but this file need to updated everytime we copied something.
So we can either cron job it or use a trigger recognizing program like entr.

So i choose to create aliases instead

alias \
cc="{xclip -sel c -o -r; printf '\n'; } >> ~/.local/share/larbs/snippets" \
cr=" : > ~/.local/share/larbs/snippets"

cc will update the clipboard and cr will clear all the file

and this sxhkd hotkey will be use to get the list of content.

super + Insert
xdotool type "$(dmenu -i -l 50 < ~/.local/share/clipboard/snippets)"

How to Add ~/.local/bin to PATH?
Adding dirs to PATH gives easy access to your local scripts.

Define PATH variable

Put this in your ~/.profile or ~/.zprofile

# Adds ~/.local/bin to $PATH
export PATH="$PATH:$(du "$HOME/.local/bin" | cut -f2 | paste -sd ':')"

and restart your wm

Now you can easily access your scripts from dmenu, terminal or anywhere.
