This is random and literally last minute, but it's day one of Linux.Conf.Au - anyone else virtually attending any sessions? https://linux.conf.au/ Lexi

To your first question, you can get your list of installed packages on Ubuntu by running "apt list --installed" and piping that to a file and copying that off somewhere safe. You'll likely have to strip that file a bit. Then once you've got that file, on your cleanly installed system you can enumerate over that file with a bash for loop and call "apt install *package*" To your second question, I'm sure we've got an R nerd around here..

I was hoping to attend, but it looks like I will not be able to. I hope it will be recorded because I, too, would like to learn about emacs. Also, I have two questions: 1. I am running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. When I update to ver. 20 or 22, I would prefer to do a "clean" re-install, but I have a question. Does that mean I must get a list of all my installed software and re-install them one at a time after I upgrade the OS? If so, is there an easy way for me to get the list? 2. I have been learning to use the software language R. I have a couple of questions and I would like to hear from anyone who has R experience. Thank You.

There is a record button in Jitsi, I can definitely record it!

Reminder: Virtual Meeting today at 7PM Topic: Emacs awesomeness.

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, This is a reminder we've got a meeting today. The presenter is my co-worker, lisp ninja, emacs badass Kalman. Beyond being a emacs wizard, he's also a mainframe guru, a unix/linux guru and is/was deeply involved in the writing/maintaining of the symbolics lisp operating system. Today he's going to show off some of his emacs foo. If you think emacs is an editor of a bygone era when things were more civilized, kalman will likely not change your mind. However, if you want to take your emacs usage to the next level you'll love this talk. If you're totally not into emacs, that's okay, come along for the ride all the same. Expect the usual banter, tangents and fun. We'll also talk about what we'll want todo for the next meeting. See ya at the meeting! Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

January 13th 2022 Virtual Meeting! Topic: Using Emacs for fun and pro fit.

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang! We've got a meeting on Thursday! In light of the recent surge in Omicron (I managed to get exposed on NYE) I'm going to make this month's meeting virtual. Hopefully next month we can get back to our regularly scheduled in person meetings! Date/Time: January 13th 2022 @ 7pm! Location: Our virtual meeting place: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Topic: Using Emacs for fun and pro fit! Presenter: Kalman Reti This meeting's guest speaker is my amazing co-worker Kalman Reti. If you've never used emacs or used it for years, you'll love this talk. If you hate emacs, well, there's nothing to be said other than to come along and jeer. Kalman is many things, but one of them is a power user of emacs. He's agreed to show off some of his emacs kung fu. In this talk you'll learn some emacs history, likely some lisp and definitely some tricks. Beyond being an emacs guru, he's also a fountain of knowledge of all things unix/linux and beyond! Along the way, I'm sure we'll engage in our usual banter, side tracks and fun. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
