How to use CODE Tags for Code and Command Output
Posted 08-23-2021 at 12:54 AM by ondoho
Let's say you have this output:
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 789M 2.7M 787M 1% /run
/dev/sda8 9.8G 6.9G 2.5G 74% /
You will notice that the formatting is messed up, it looked much nicer in your terminal!
Instead, you should surround the text with code tags:
[CODE]
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 789M 2.7M 787M 1% /run
/dev/sda8 9.8G 6.9G 2.5G 74% /
[/CODE]
The end result will then look like this:
This increases readability by a lot for everyone, especially people trying to interpret it for you, so please take this advice seriously.
The tags are case insensitive - you can use [code] bla bla [/code] just as well.
You do not have to type it all out, either: in the advanced post editor you will find this sign: # in the toolbar, clicking it once will output a pair of empty code tags. Try it.
If you have already posted some code without tags, you can go back to the post in question, click the [ Edit ] button (bottom right), and edit your post accordingly.
Thank You.

Another way to post info (esp if you can't use copy&paste): |nc termbin.com 9999
One other way (esp if you "can't" use copy&paste) is:
|nc termbin.com 9999
like <some command(s), even cat aFile> | nc termbin.com 9999
You can look at the website http://termbin.com for more info (9999 is a network 'port')
You could even combine commands in a subshell, like:The info can be seen via the URL returned (expires after a while)Code:$ (uname -a; df .; sudo inxi -mx; free) | nc termbin.com 9999 https://termbin.com/uorq
An example file to `cat` is /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Also, another way to capture things into a file is the script [filename] command. See: man script
This blog has info on the "Go Advanced" button (to get the # in the toolbar), and noparse (to display the code tags). The "BB Code" link (at the bottom of posts) documents all tags.
p.s. note the "Rate this (blog) Entry" at top enables us to give ondoho the 5stars they deserve

What I have here and will post is the log from the Yast var/log/messages at what I think is the correct time of issue.
When I experience the Black screen again I will go fetch the log again. Making note of the time.
If you gave the terminal command and Tags to filter the log I would be happy to try my hand at this.
The terminal that is... but in the past I have often gotten myself confused because of all the different command prompts that were not always for Opensuse 15.3
I am going to post quite a bit because as I was scrolling up I saw what look like issues with Plasma+xorg+nvidia+noveau.
Not sure...hard to understand what I am looking at
