I’ve been setting up a new Proxmox server and messing around with VMs, and wanted to know what kind of useful commands I’m missing out on. Bonus points for a little explainer.
Journalctl | grep -C 10 'foo' was useful for me when I needed to troubleshoot some fstab mount fuckery on boot. It pipes Journalctl (boot logs) into grep to find ‘foo’, and prints 10 lines before and after each instance of ‘foo’.
What can I say. I’m old.
Scrolling in screen is superior to tmux
Scrolling is tmux is what I hate about it. I would prefer to use tmux since I’m use to it. But if someone can explain to me why I can’t just use my scroll wheel on my mouse.
As I understand it, the issue is that tmux invents its own terminal emulator functionality that conflicts with the existing terminal it runs within, while screen simply defers scroll functionality to the terminal emulator.
