Did you know? On Linux you can observe the file descriptor positions using `/proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd-number>`
man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/

You can use that to observe long-running file processing jobs' progress. But there are tools that format this properly; Debian (/Ubuntu) packages `progress` a tool that does just that:
github.com/Xfennec/progress

It can snoop for coreutils processes, or just watch an arbitrary pid:

`progress --monitor --pid $(pidof -s lbzcat)`

man7.orgproc_pid_fdinfo(5) - Linux manual page

Hey @jloc0 , it's @martindehf writing from my english-speaking account :)

I want to update my current system but the documentation is a bit outdated and it doesn't take into account that:
- I have installed GRUB
- Multilib
- Used sbopkg to install some packages
- User slackpkg+ to install some packages from alienbob's repo.

Any tips or links would be greatly appreciated :D

Sous Solus, si vous saisissez votre mot de passe LUKS en AZERTY lors de l'installation, au premier démarrage, le clavier sera en QWERTY pour le déverrouillage ! ⌨️Préparez-vous à une petite gymnastique des doigts pour taper votre mot de passe. Cela n'arrive qu'au premier démarrage ! 😅
