Ubuntu: how to restore packages after interrupted apt upgrade

Often you might stop running apt update && apt dist-upgrade.

Here is the one-line command that will resume reinstalling the unfinished, or half-configured packages for you. It creates list of packages which can be passed to apt install:  

grep  "08:18:.* half-configured"  /var/log/dpkg.log.1 /var/log/dpkg.log |  awk '{printf "%s ", $5}'

first part of the command will grab only half-configured packages, while the second part will grab just the package name.

Here is the command in full:

sudo apt install --reinstall $(grep  "08:18:.* half-configured"  /var/log/dpkg.log.1 /var/log/dpkg.log |  awk '{printf "%s ", $5}')

You can configure 08:18 with the time you know the packages were interrupted form installing.

Best luck!

Wordpress customizations inside functions.php

Here are few tips on how to customize your Wordpress, without having to resort to plugins, just insert the following php code inside your functions.php file. I will be adding more.

Redirect inner page to outer domain:
add_action('template_redirect','redirect_from_to');
function redirect_from_to(){
  if (is_page('mypage')){
    wp_redirect('http://www.google.com',301);
    exit()
  }
}
Note: mypage must be created in order for the redirect to work.

Allow svg files to be uploaded:

function cc_mime_types($mimes){

$mimes['svg']='image/svg';

return $mimes;

}

add_filter('upload_mimes','cc_mime_types');

Cheers!
