[Shell] Replace pattern

How to replace a specific pattern in a file or folder name. In my case I needed to correct the season on each file of a series from “S08” to “S09”:

for f in *; do mv "$f" "$(echo "$f" | sed s/S08/S09/)"; done      

If you want to replace a pattern recursive, use the command “find”:

find . -name '*' -exec bash -c 'echo mv $0 ${0/S08/S09}' {} \;    // with echo for testrun

[Terminal] Command Line Audio Visualizer

Look at Github cli-visualizer for installation instructions.

Path to config file: ~/.config/vis/config
I’ve decommented these two lines:

audio.sources=pulse
colors.scheme=rainbow

Run with “vis”.
Use the following controls when running:

KeyDescription
spaceSwitch visualizers
q or CTRL-CQuit
rReload config
cNext color scheme
sToggle Mono/Stereo Mode
+Increase scaling by 10%
Decrease scaling by 10%

[Terminal] Simple man page

If you are using the man command, e.g.:

man find

You will often get a very long manual.
But there is a much easier to read man page called tldr, with examples how to use the command.

apt install tldr
tldr find

[Terminal] Terminal cat grep

Most users are using cat and grep for searching for a string in a file:

cat filename | grep search_string

But you can use grep completely without cat:

grep search_string filename

[Terminal] !!

You can repeat the last used command by typing “!!”. For example if you typed:

apt upgrade

as non root user, you will get the following message:

error: you cannot perform this operation unless you are root.

But you don’t have to type the whole command again with sudo in front of it, just type:

sudo !!

And it’s doing a:

sudo apt upgrade

[Linux Mint] Citrix Receiver on multiple monitors

Citrix Receiver download.
Here is the offical how to guide.

The following command can be used to test for window manager support.
If there is no output, there is no support.

xprop -root | grep _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS

Further troubleshooting infos here.

In my case, I just had to launch the configuration manager and set it to “Full Screen”.
