[03:14] <samurai2> hi there,
[03:14] <samurai2> Is there a command in ubuntu so that I can add a line to a .conf file if it's not existed yet?
[03:15] <samurai2> echo "hello" >> my_file.conf
[03:15] <samurai2> but it will keep adding hello to the new line
[03:15] <samurai2> thanks :)
[03:16] <stgraber> [ ! -e "$my_file.conf" ] && echo "hello" > my_file.conf
[03:30] <samurai2> stgraber : thanks for the answer, but it's replacing the whole file not adding a new line.
[03:41] <stgraber> just >> then
[03:42] <stgraber> well, I guess you actually want:
[03:42] <stgraber> grep "^hello$" my_file.conf -q && echo "hello" >> my_file.conf
[03:42] <stgraber> hmm, that's wrong, I meant: grep "^hello$" my_file.conf -q || echo "hello" >> my_file.conf
[03:42] <stgraber> which will only append hello to the file if it's not already in there
[04:07] <samurai2> stgraber : thanks, it's worked now. :D
[06:58] <samurai2> Hi how to find a line with a word such as #*.*   localhost
[06:58] <samurai2> where we don't care about how many space between #*.*   localhost
[06:58] <samurai2> thanks
[15:37] <stgraber> highvoltage: new Edubuntu image available for testing
[15:37] <stgraber> highvoltage: FWIW I tested 14.1 yesterday and it looked reasonably good
[15:38] <stgraber> highvoltage: we still have the weird issue where Unity starts when using flashback with compiz but I doubt we'll get that resolved by release
[17:38] <undead_rat> I'm trying to install edubuntu with wubi, but it kept failing out at distro checks; first it was unable to locate the vmlinuz (because it had a .efi extention, rebuilt the iso to fix that) and now it's failing because 12.04.03 != 12.04.02; where should I change the 03 to 02 at?
