I am in a need of manipulating the system time for few minutes.
Say I need to keep the time as it is and change the date to next date.
After few minutes.. I need to go back to the normal time with out giving any manual inputs.
How is this possible with command line only.
I have gone through this What is the command line statement for changing the System clock? and it requires to input date+time.
I dont want to change the time, only the date. Once the requirement is done that is after few minutes, I dont want to enter any manual inputs for date and time..
I want to go back to regular time with command line.

what is the easy/minimal way to remotely(over the Internet) connect a Ubuntu 20.04 system from another Ubuntu 20.04 system? I have tried team-viewer any-desk in the past.

Looking for a step by step practical approach..
I Use Ubuntu 18.04, 19.10
using #!/bin/bash script how to remove the directories if they are empty from far end and stop at the directory having any file/files.
say.. I have created multiple directories with the below command
mkdir -p $HOME/.local/my/sub/directories/1/2/3
lateron during the time I have created lot of files in all directories starting from the directory "my to 1/2/3".
After some time I have deleted all the files in the directories "my", "directories", "1", "2", "3". Note that directory sub is having some files..
mkdir -p option will see if there are parent directories in the command mkdir -p $HOME/.local/my/sub/directories/1/2/3 and its safe.
Question: like above is there any command to see if the directories are empty and delete from far end and stop at directory sub I mean $HOME/.local/my/sub

Say I have downloaded Ubuntu ISO from the official website of Ubuntu: https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop
I have downloaded a file focal-desktop-amd64.iso and the extracted contents of this ISO file are
I am not able to get similar files like in installed Ubuntu 19.10, I have these files
/boot/initrd.img-5.3.0-26-generic
/boot/vmlinuz-5.3.0-26-generic
Is there a way to get these file names from the Downloaded ISO without installing it on the system?
the option in Ubuntu 18.04 is "Organize Desktop by name"
But there is no option available in Ubuntu 19.10
I am using Ubuntu 19.10. For automation purposes, I need to download this file with a script.
But I am not able to get the link.
How can I achieve this?
Is there a way to restart GNOME Shell other than by using Alt + F2, R + Enter?
With respect to the question, I have gone through Difference between `gnome-shell --replace` and r in Alt+F2, but I didn't get what I was looking for.
I am looking for a command which exactly does what Alt + F2, r + Enter do.
Please note that I am not willing to do the gnome-shell -- replace command...
I did check both the things Alt + F2,r Enter and gnome-shell --replace...
There is a lot of difference, I found...
I have Installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 minimal Installation.
I will use only LibreOffice-Writer, Is there a way to Install Only this?

As the folder name says /usr/share/applications... are these all my applications installed in the system?
Will deleting a program's icon in below pics mean uninstalling it from the system permanently?
For example, I see Amazon & Cheese icons twice... Files icon thrice
This is a freshly installed Ubuntu 18.04 and I've just installed Audacious, MPV player, Dconf & GNOME Tweaks.
My intention:
- How can I know which icon is the actual application that I have to keep? For example I want to remove Amazon completely from my system. Of the two Archive Manager icons, I want to keep the actual working one and remove the other...
How can I know the name of application that can be removed via command line, for example
sudo apt remove Amazon sudo apt remove Audacious Qt Interface sudo apt remove Cheese-not-in-use sudo apt remove Files1-not-in-use sudo apt remove Files2-not-in-use
Final Goal:
If I want Audacious, MPV player, Dconf, Files, Cheese, InputMethod, Keyboard, Gparted, Displays, Dock, Disks, Calendar only, then I want to see only 12 icons in this folder.
Is this achievable?
By following this excellent question and answer How do I prevent the blank screensaver when using keyboard shortcut to lock the computer? I just made my Lock Screen persistent.

How to achieve this?

Is there a way to access ///org/gnome/shell/theme/ in Ubuntu 18.04?
I got this path in a .css file from /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ubuntu.css,
for example:

height: 22px;
background-image: url("resource:///org/gnome/shell/theme/checkbox-off.svg"); }
.check-box:checked StBin {
background-image: url("resource:///org/gnome/shell/theme/checkbox.svg"); }
