14.04manpage
I've done some Googling and searched on askubuntu and haven't found my answer yet. I'd like to make some minor edits to the tsql man pages on my system only, to clarify things. I've found the man page path with man -w tsql. How do I edit them?
Thank you.
Open Profile Preferences from Terminal global Edit menu and under "Colors" tab you will see like this:
The problem is that your "Background color" and "Bold color" are the same color. Change one of them to different one OR You can check the "Same as text color" for bold color to fix that.
Even more special would be being able to get this specifically for Lubuntu because there are a few differences in software and I'm an avid Lubuntu user but, if need be, I can make due with just the Ubuntu man-pages.
There are no differences in manpages between Lubuntu and Ubuntu. One of the points of becoming a recognized flavour is using the same repositories as Ubuntu, so the software is identical, it's only the starting points that differ.
Also, http://manpages.ubuntu.com suffers from a bug where identically named manpages from different packages aren't distinguished - the manpages of the last package read show up.
Instead of hammering the manpages site, hammer the repositories.
Get a list of manpages, for, say, the binary-amd64 architecture (should be identical to the others):
mkdir temp
cd temp
curl http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/wily/Contents-amd64.gz |
gunzip |
grep 'share/man' |
sed 's/.* //;s/,/\n/g' |
awk -F/ '{print $NF}' |
sort -u > packages.txt
while IFS= read -r package
do
apt-get download "$package"
dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile "$package"*.deb | tar x ./usr/share/man
mkdir "$package"-manpages
find ./usr/share/man/man* -type f -exec mv -t "$package"-manpages {} +
rm "$package"*.deb
for page in "$package"-manpages/*
do
man -t "$page" | ps2pdf - > "$page".pdf
done
done < packages.txt
If course, this is going to consume an insane amount of bandwidth - the repository servers are used to it, the question is: is your network upto the task?

You can do this easily using
vimorgedit.As
vimandgeditcan edit the zipped files, you can do :$()is the shell command substitution pattern, which will be replaced by the output ofman -w tsql. So if the output ofman -w tsqlis/usr/share/man/man1/tsql, the above commands are equivalent to :
