[17:35] <mike802> hi, i'm trying to run the command cat wordpress.sql | sudo mysql --default-extra-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf
[17:36] <mike802> and i'm getting ERROR at line 1: Unknown command '\b'
[17:37] <mike802> i can't find any typos in the files that the wordpress section of the ubuntu server guide had me type up, but i'll keep looking
[17:39] <tomreyn> \b is a backspace
[17:40] <RoyK> perl -pe 's/\b//g' -i file.cnf
[17:41] <tomreyn> mike802: when you run    head -n2 wordpress.sql    does this output contain any sensitive content, anything you could not share with us?
[17:41] <mike802> it's all sql statements, create database etc
[17:41] <tomreyn> mike802: on those 2 lines?
[17:42] <RoyK> there shouldn't be \b in an sql file
[17:42] <tomreyn> anyways, it doesn'T answer my question.
[17:42] <mike802> well, when i saved the file the system asked me to create an encryption key
[17:42] <mike802> which i have to type in to open the file
[17:42] <RoyK> mike802: did you try the perl command above? make a backup first
[17:42] <tomreyn> what's the output of "file wordpress.sql"
[17:42] <mike802> brb
[17:43] <tomreyn> RoyK: not a good idea if it's encrypted
[17:43] <tomreyn> (but yeah, backup.)
[17:43] <RoyK> tomreyn: indeed
[17:43] <RoyK> tomreyn: but perhaps it's just gzipped or something and has the wrong extension
[17:43] <mike802> the head -n2 command just returns encrypted characters
[17:44] <mike802> :x
[17:44] <RoyK> what did 'file' say?
[17:44] <RoyK> (what does the fox say)
[17:44] <mike802> puttyputty
[17:44] <mike802> ::::|||~~~~~  putty putty
[17:45] <tomreyn> mike802: well if the sql file is encrypted then you can't just feed it into the mysql command like this
[17:45] <mike802> oh, weird.  i'll try deleting and making a new one
[17:45] <tomreyn> you'll need to find out how to decrypt it on the shell.
[17:45] <tomreyn> or export it unencrypted where it comes from
[17:45] <mike802> i'm just gonna ctrl+c the key bit
[17:46] <RoyK> mike802: if it's encrypted, the backup job must have done that
[17:46] <mike802> i'm typing this up from the ubuntu server guide web page
[17:46] <mike802> https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/wordpress.html.en
[17:49] <mike802> awesome, thank you
[17:49] <mike802> weird
[17:52] <muhaha> How do I run systemctl --user enable pulseaudio && systemctl --user start pulseaudio under root? It does not work for root , I need to run in userspace. (Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory)
[17:59] <muhaha> nvm, it should be started under user
