ERROR: GetProj4StringSPI: Cannot find SRID (4326) in spatial_ref_sys

If you are using postgis and a cleaner in your database, maybe you could have this error: ERROR:  GetProj4StringSPI: Cannot find SRID (4326) in spatial_ref_sys SQL state: XX000 This error means that your spatial_ref_sys table is empty To fix it, just restore the information that postgis generate when you create this extension in your database. To do it execute the following sentence: psql -d $database_name -f $PATH/spatial_ref_sys.sql where the PATH is the path to spatial_ref_sys.sql For postgres 11 and postgis 2.5 the PATH is /usr/share/postgresql/11/contrib/postgis-2.5/ Other way to execute the same command is: PGPASSWORD=postgres psql "host=localhost dbname=$database_name user=postgres" -f /usr/share/postgresql/11/contrib/postgis-2.5/spatial_ref_sys.sql Enjoy it!

How to monitor your computer from your desktop

UPDATED to Ubuntu 20.10 As you see, system-monitor is not more available in Ubuntu 18.10 For this reason, I search another utility to monitor my system and I find conky. It is a very personalizable tool that you can install with snap: sudo apt install conky Now, you need to configure it as you like, with you specific interfaces names, in /etc/conky/conky.conf Here is my first configuration: conky.config = {   use_spacer = 'left',   pad_percents = 3,   background = false,   double_buffer = true,   font = 'DejaVu Sans Mono:size=10',   use_xft = true,   alignment = 'top_right',   gap_x = 50,   gap_y = 200,   own_window_argb_visual = true,   own_window_argb_value = 0,   own_window_type = 'normal',   own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,sticky',   own_window = true,   update_interval = 5.0, } conky.text = [[ #\${color orange}Hostname: \${color}\${nodename} ${color...

How to backup/restore your linux packages in Ubuntu 18.10

If you need migrate your packages to another computer, the best choice is to restore the packages to avoid install all of them again manually. I'm going to describe three tools that I test to do it. apt-clone is a tool for backup all your packages installed through apt. To install it just execute: sudo apt install apt-clone sudo apt-clone clone path_to_save_backup Now, to restore the packages, just copy this file in your new station and execute the following: sudo apt-clone restore apt-clone-state-*.tar.gz It works very well, but some times you can get this error: Deja-dup is other tool to make backups and restore your packages. When I run it, I got this message: InvalidBackendURL: missing // - relative paths not supported for scheme invalid: invalid:// This bug was reported here  2 years ago, but still is not totally fixed Aptik is tyhe most functional tool with GUI. To install it just execute: sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa sudo apt-ge...
