I've noticed that Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) comes with the latest docker engine ready to be installed.

On may/2020 if you do:

# apt update
# apt install -y docker.io

you get docker version 19.03.8 which, in turn, is the latest published (to the date) by the docker friends.

This is amazing! This installs both the latest engine and client from the ubuntu's standard package repos. Great!

But now... I want to have a client machine with only the docker client. I don't want the engine itself downloaded in this machine. Only the client part.

In the past

According to this https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/ until ubuntu 19.10 it seemed to exist docker-ce-cli.

But in a Focal Fossa 20.04 this happens:

# apt-get update
[omitted]
# apt-get install docker-ce-cli
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package docker-ce-cli

Question

What package should I install in ubuntu 20.04 to have only the docker cli?

# apt install -y xxxxxxxxx?
software-installation apt client docker 20.04

I have been looking for one for a long time now, but I haven't found even one working port of Whatsapp web for ubuntu.

There was one called whatsie if I remember correctly, but now it doesn't work anymore because the version of chrome is old, or something like that.

Thanks in advance! :)

I occasionally need to do minor edits to a MS-SQL database running on one of our servers...

I'm using an evaluation of DbVisualizer at the moment to do this (it's Java based and uses something called the jTDS JDBC driver to talk to MS-SQL)... trouble is it's expensive and I'm wondering if there is anything else I can use.

I'm preferably after something which is either a native application (or Java, Python, Perl etc...) but not Windows/Wine/Mono.

Something which has a similar UI to MySQL Workbench or DbVisualizer which I'm currently using.

Any ideas?

I have a problem with nomachine NX-client in Ubuntu. It seems that the keymapping has a problem. For example, the arrow keys do not work (except for up key which opens printscreen!). I searched online and found several solutions. However none of them worked for me:

solution 1)

On the server, change System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts to “Evdev-managed keyboard”

The server that I log into has Centos 5.7 on it and I cannot find “Evdev-managed keyboard” layout in keyboard setting. I tried several other generic keyboard layouts with no success.

solution 2)

add the following lines to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection

I did it and my keyboard stopped working completely! I had to use the on-screen keyboard to remove this setting and get back to normal.

solution 3)

Run xmodmap -pke > localxmodmap locally

Copy the file to server as .Xmodmap

Run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap from terminal.

which gives me a bunch of errors such as:

xmodmap:  /home/fzc23/.Xmodmap:60:  bad keysym name 'XF86Switch_VT_1' in keysym list

and doesn't work.

I do not know what else to do. I would appreciate if somebody could help me out.

BTW, the NX-client on windows connects to the same server with no keymapping problem so I believe this is a problem in Ubuntu and has nothing to do with the server side.
