gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad , gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly, gstreamer1.0-libav and gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 supports most common audio & videos and all are available on universe repository, then what is extra benefit/purpose of ubuntu-restricted-extras from multiverse?

@Pandya its a meta package
in Unix and Linux, 9 mins ago, by Pandya
@Braiam If we install mentioned packages without going for ubuntu-restricted-extras, then Is there any requirement of that meta package?
in Unix and Linux, 7 mins ago, by Braiam
@Pandya search what's a meta package for, and you will understand what's the advantage
in Unix and Linux, 4 mins ago, by Pandya
@Braiam I've checked and found that flashplugin-installer, ttf-mscorefonts-installer and ttf-mscorefonts-installer are the advantage BUT If I'm talking for supporting most common audio & video files, then what?
Am I right that : for supporting MP3 and most common audio & video files, install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad , gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly, gstreamer1.0-libav and gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3. No need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras [only requires packages from Universe ; no Multiverse is required?]

Q: Why is Numlock turned off by default?

BenIs there a special reason why NUMLOCK is disabled/turned off by default? It feels like (when searching the internet) most users (including me) wants to enable it by default.

keyboard numlock
I am not complaining, but: in my eyes this is a classical case of "opinion based", isn't it?
 
hbdgaf
hbdgaf
I agree that without the answer it's a pretty lame question, but when you can see the answer - it's all "Wow. I didn't know some laptops made numpads on home keys. I always insist on buying something with a proper numpad"
 
guntbert
guntbert
@hbdgaf I agree the answer is insightful, but still (lame or not): none of us can know the reason, we only can (or cannot) express opinions about it. I guess why I posted it here is to get some input if my understandig of "opinion based" is flawed.
 
hbdgaf
hbdgaf
Well, if booting with it enabled would break some keyboards... then the answer isn't opinion based. The question seems opinion based without the answer. So, I totally understand what you meant. btw, I upvoted the answer to that one.

@Fabby but I am not finding compiled kernel in /boot
@Fabby When I do cd linux-2.6.38

ok

@ParanoidPanda I can't improve my answer: the files are cached files smaller then 1 MB so, in the case of the file you added, it replaced the other files, so no, you're not doomed...
The only way to get rid of them is not to use caching at all...
@Mudit what number in the tutorial are you talking about?
What version of Ubuntu are you using? What kernel version are you trying to compile?

Nice comment, why I can't close an answer? askubuntu.com/a/630653/367165
 
user136984
@Fabby: So the point of the doomed folder is to store the cache data?
 
Fabby
Fabby
Yes, I'm sorry!

Mudit
Mudit
@Fabby just for experiment
 
user136984
Why did they call it 'doomed'? :D
 
Fabby
Fabby
@Mudit take a newer version then!!! 4.0 or so...
 
A.B.
A.B.
6:51 PM
Fabby is doomed?
 
Fabby
Fabby
@ParanoidPanda because the page had a sub-directory "doomed"?
@A.B. No, our local schizo thinks he is...

6:53 PM
@Mudit What number on the tutorial are you on?
 
user136984
@Fabby: What? Which page? As well as doomed, there is also a folder called 'entries'.
 
user136984
:D
 
Fabby
Fabby
@Mudit (sorry, too many questions simultaneously)
@ParanoidPanda Just implement my solution and they'll all be gone and never bother you again! :P
 
Mudit
Mudit
@Fabby compiles from instructions goterminal.blogspot.in/2012/02/…

The answer can't work, the error is E: Package 'software-center' has no installation candidate
 
user136984
@Fabby: So they are just some form of cached data under the limit I gave?
 
Mudit
Mudit
@Fabby I am not able to find linux-2.6.38 in /boot
 
Fabby
Fabby
apt-cache search software-center
app-install-data - Ubuntu applications (data files)

@ParanoidPanda yes!!! :P
@Mudit looking again...
@Mudit what's the output of ls /boot?
 
Mudit
Mudit
6:59 PM
@Fabby yes
 
user136984
@Fabby: Edit your answer to say that that is just some cached information under the limit I gave (thinking I had turned it off), and I will accept your answer. As you have answered my question now! :)
 
A.B.
A.B.
@Fabby I know that. And the error message.
 
Fabby
Fabby
@ParanoidPanda I thought that was clear! Sorry...
editing (after @mudit and @A.B.) have stopped pestering me...

@Fabby :P
 
Fabby
Fabby
@Mudit you did a sudo apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
so that's the source of your current kernel...
 
Mudit
Mudit
@Fabby yes I did
yes
 
Fabby
Fabby
in 2012 that was :
2.6.38
now that is:
3.13.0-53
:P
 
Mudit
Mudit
so it can not be compiled
 
Fabby
Fabby
@A.B.: Let me log into admin user and try...
@Mudit not the 2.x version, no...
 
Mudit
Mudit
7:02 PM
@Fabby ok can I change the kernel name of the running kernel
@Fabby like ABC- 3.13.0-53
 
Fabby
Fabby
If you need help at that detail: please, don't bother...
Read the full sysadmin manual first then...
 
Mudit
Mudit
ok
 
Fabby
Fabby
apt-get -s install software-center
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
software-center is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
so I get an install candidate!

@Fabby Thanks for the help Sir ;)

Mudit
Mudit
@Fabby yes lots of reading and research work :)
 
Fabby
Fabby
@ParanoidPanda Good enough now?
@Mudit yes!
Start with the "Linux advanced administration"
 
user136984
@Fabby: Yep, thanks! :)
 
Fabby
Fabby
@ParanoidPanda :*

@Mudit 545 pages of goodies...
THEN compile your own kernel just to have your first name as the kernel's name
:P
