The philosophy and culture of bug reporting:
- A bug is any unexpected interaction between you and a product.
- A bug report offers you an opportunity to troubleshoot a problem. Ideally, it results in a solution before even being filed. Otherwise, it is a recipe for the developer to experience the same problem as you have.
- Bug reporting is collaboration. When you file a bug, you are not disturbing the developers, nor are you exposing them as poor or nefarious programmers. You are developing along with them in an attempt to optimize an application you love.
- A good bug reporting tool is also a task management tool.

The ending of the a2ps package, including psdiff, psbook, psmandup, psresize, psselect, and texi2dvi4a2ps. The greatest mystery is the showchar command, which appears to do nothing.
Upon further investigation (after recording), it seems that a2ps as distributed by Slackware also contains a collection of scripts called psutils, which provides fix, ps, eps, res, and showchar** scripts.
The psutils collection is not yet in Slackware-current, so it is possible that it has been dropped from distribution. In the latest psutils sources, showchar appears to have been removed.

Listener feedbacks from Mastodon, including commentary about the Julian calendar, Flatpak sandboxing problems, Flatpak usability problems, clarification on Bzip2 and LZMA and ZIP compression.
The overview of util-linux continues with mkswap, which designates a partition of a special hard drive or a special file as "swap" space. _NEVER run mkswap on a partition or file that contains data you care about._
$ sudo mkswap /dev/sdx1
The pivot_root command mounts a new location as your root whilst simultaneously unmounting the old one. You probably won't ever use pivot_root manually yourself. Its typical use case is during system startup, when an initrd is used to bootstrap an environment but then needs to be shunted away when the real root partition becomes available.
You can test pivot_root in a virtual machine, just as a proof of concept, as described in this episode, but if you have ever used chroot, then you have
The raw command talks directly to block devices, useful for fancy databases or other high-performance things that don't need a filesystem because they use their own optimized system for managing data. On some systems (like Slackware), you may need to do modprobe raw before using raw.
NEVER run raw against a block device with data (that you care about) on it. Here is a really simple proof of concept demo exercise:
# raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdx # echo "gnu world order" > /dev/sdx # dd if=/dev/raw/raw1 count=1 gnu world order [...]
The setserial command sets and reports serial ports on a Linux system. On Slackware, you can see the script that generates serial port definitions in /etc/rc.d/rc.serial, with its associated config file being /etc/serial.conf On a distro using systemd, there is a unit file that creates serial ports. Serial ports are usually accessible to the group dialout, so if you are having trouble talking to a device over a serial port, be sure to add yourself to the dialout group, and then log out and log back in. Permissions for devices that communicate over a serial port (like an Arduino) can be managed manually (chmod 660 /dev/ACM0, for instance) or you can script udev to set permissions upon connection.
Yes, there is a slight mixing error at the very start of the episode. Klaatu is currently on holiday and does not have the source files on hand.

Listener feedback. GNU World Order is voted best Linux Podcast of 2018 by linuxquestions.org but fame is fleeting, and it is no longer 2018. Bzip2 compression. You should run bzip2 compression tests and send Klaatu your results. Controversy over scripts that download and install automatically. A bakery that runs on Emacs and PostgreSQL.

The journey through the util-linux from the a package set of Slackware
continues. First, a tutorial on getopt, an argument parser for Bash and
Tcsh. Here is a demonstrative sample script:
#!/usr/bin/bash ## or you can just use /bin/sh
OPTS=getopt --options f --long foo --alternative -- "$@"
eval set -- "$OPTS" echo "Raw input: $OPTS"
while true ; do case "$1" in -f|--foo) echo "Option f has been toggled on" ; shift ;; --) shift ; break ;; esac done
# this outputs anything # left over after parsing # valid options for i in "$@" ; do echo "$i" done
You can add more options, and you can add an allowance for arguments. Here is a slightly more complex version of the script:
#!/usr/bin/bash
OPTS=getopt --options f,b: --long foo,bar: --alternative -- "$@"
eval set -- "$OPTS"
echo "$OPTS"
while true ; do case "$1" in -f|--foo) echo "Option f has been toggled on" ; shift ;; -b|--bar) echo "Option b has been set to $2" ; shift 2 ;; --) shift ; break ;; esac done
for i in "$@" ; do echo "$i" done
After the coffee break, Klaatu covers kill. Because he recorded this episode
on the same night as the previous episode, he does make reference to some
settings from the previous episode (specifically, a hostname setting). That
makes this episode a sequel to the previous one, meaning Klaatu owes you an
extra episode sometime.
Also, mountpoint, mount, unmount, wdctl and watchdog

Klaatu talks about software licensing as related to ZFS, and then covers the S section of the a package set in Slackware (he also realises mid-way through that he had already covered the q and r sections and part of the s section, but nobody complained about it, so presumably they were all worth a second look).

Klaatu continues his tour of all the little packages that are installed on your Linux box. In this episode: JFS, kbd utils, kmod, less, lha and lrzip compression showdown, libcgroup, libgudev, lilo, logrotate, and LVM.
Since setting up an array of drives often happens when you are installing an OS, it's worth noting up front that I recommend not attempting to use your installer's LVM setup tool, since, as far as I have seen, they are generally unholy messes. What I do is install the OS on a single LVM-enabled drive, and then add more drives with LVM post facto.
Therefore, the starting point of this tutorial is:
You have Linux installed on a drive, which is a single LVM volume group. If you have that, boot into your OS, and begin:
- Partition your un-used hard drive. Assuming you have only two drives in your machine, let's call the first /dev/sdX and the second /dev/sdY (in reality, the values are probably sda and sdb, but to protect you from copy-paste disasters, I use placeholders).
First, find out how big your disk is:
`
# parted /dev/sdY print | grep Disk
`
- For the sake of this example, let's say your drive is 1200100MB (1TB) in size.
Create a partition that spans the whole drive:
`
# parted /dev/sdY mkpart primary 1 1200100
`
- Flag it as an available entity in your storage pool.
`
# pvcreate /dev/sdY1
`
- OK, now you have a drive prepped for use, but we should pause and look at our imaginary setup. In order to add this new drive to an LVM volume group, we need to know what volume groups we have. Your OS installer might have created this for you, or it might be something you very consciously designed yourself. Either way, you can see what you have available:
`
# vgdisplay storage
`
- OK, so we have a volume group called storage. Currently, we happen to know that storage contains only your first drive; the one that you installed your OS onto. But you want to make that bigger by adding a second drive to it. This is called extending your volume group.
`
# vgextend storage /dev/sdY1
`
- Now we have a pool that has access to two partitions, but we are still not actually using the second partition.
A volume group contains logical volumes, and it is to those volumes that you can add disk space by drawing from the available disks in the group.
To check what logical volumes you have:
`
# lvdisplay
`
To check physical volumes for size:
`
# pvdisplay
`
- Armed with a mental map of how your partitions and system are each laid out, you can now extend the logical volume. Let's say that your installer placed /home into its own partition. You would see it as a logical volume, and you can extend its size:
`
# lvextend -L +999G /dev/storage/home
`
That would, as you can probably guess from the command itself, extend the logical volume containing your home folders by 999Gb.
- Well, almost anyway. It has extended the space available to the logical volume, but it has not actually stretched the file system across all that new space yet.
To make all that extra space readable and writable, you must resize it:
`
# resize2fs /dev/storage/home
`
Verify what you have just done:
`
# df -h /home 1889T
`
Your home directory is now nearly 2TB in size, and the fact that the file system spans two separate physical volumes is entirely transparent to the OS.

Klaatu tries pkgsrc on Slackware, and you won't believe what happens next.
But to sum it up: it's super easy to implement, easy to use, and pretty nifty.
To get pkgsrc on your Linux OS:
Download:
$ wget ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current.pkgsrc.tar.gz
Extract it to /usr:
# su - # tar --extract --verbose --file pkgsrc.tar.gz -C /usr
Bootstrap pkgsrc:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/ # ./bootstrap
Adjust paths:
# echo "PATH=$PATH:/usr/pkg/bin:/usr/pkg/sbin" >> ~/.bashrc # echo "export $PATH" >> ~/.bashrc # echo "MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/pkg/man" >> ~/.bashrc # echo "export $MANPATH" >> ~/.bashrc
Build something:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/foo/bar # make install
