We have a Ubuntu server (mainly a compute server), which does not have X-server installed on it.
One can use something like Byobu or Screen to have programs running on the server even after the SSH connection is closed. However when one runs GUI based applications (using ssh -X), the application...

Until now I used characters to draw images, shapes etc in terminal.
Is it possible to draw a single pixel?
Let's say:
foo 1 1 red
This will draw a red pixel on (1, 1) coordinate.
Currently running Ubuntu 14.04.
@Takkat We got the same problem. We used to be with 8. 4 got fired. And this week out of the remaining 4 1 has a holiday and 1 was asked to be 2 weeks on site before going on holiday. So we are 2 with the workload of 8.
here is a better method: http://askubuntu.com/questions/3/how-can-i-set-the-software-center-to-install-software-for-non-root-users installation by non root users with policykit
that way your user needs to supply their password and apt-get from command line would work for a non-admin
what is this url ? http://spy.no-ip.biz/ It points to my apache default page and when i pinged, it points to 127.0.0.1. Did google no related information found. Any idea ?
@Braiam I know, you're one of the most conscientious reviewers I've seen on any site. Which is why I thought you'd be pleased by what Luis did. I meant that comment quite literally, no irony involved.
My old blog is no more. Existing links will (slowly) give a 404. I'm working on getting a new domain structure which I control, so that in the future I can put my own redirects in place etc, but I can't do that retrospectively with the old posts.
When my new blog is up and running and I'm confid...
@muru Cross-site dupes are not dupes, that's not a problem unless it's the same question by the same OP. Then, unless a question is specifically about another distribution, it is on topic here.
@muru Eeek! Why? In fact, we often do the opposite, repeat good questions that would be on topic elsewhere. What we don't want is the exact same question by the same OP.
A user is removing command-line tags from posts, for example this post.
I'm a user who depends upon favorite tags to answer questions, and command-line is one of them. If the tag gets removed, I miss questions that I may answer. I don't find any problem with the tag, as is in the case of install...
When two tags are merged, are followers of the old tag moved onto the new tag? If not, should this happen?
Or am I not understanding something about how the merging process works?
@slhck Sort of. We split the "add / show x more comments" button into two separate actions, but there are a couple more subtler changes coming. status-in-progress :) — Laura ♦1 min ago
So in my notification list, I have "You have earned the Curious badge'. But I received the Benefactor badge yesterday and I didn't get a notification for it. Why is this? Is it not meant to or is it a bug?
@mitch the dupe here does not seem to be a dupe to me askubuntu.com/questions/502557/… (dupe is about deleted files; he is talking about a non-booting system that still seems to hold files
So occasionally around the place (on Meta) I see "Since you are a veteran" or "Veterans have this privilege".
How much rep does a use have to have to be considered a veteran?
I would like to restart the gtk-window-decorator process, because it takes up 600MB memory. Will that affect other processes? From my experiences, after killing it, all other programs will lose their window frames, but after I run it again, the other programs will have their window frames back, ...
I have an Ubuntu Server 12 virtualbox guest running on a Windows 7 host which has a dynamic IP (and I don't wanna change this considering it's a laptop and I'm changing network frenquently).
I want to have a static IP for my VM and a SSH access from my host but I still want to have the internet ...
Thank, in this case I would like to do it 100% the terminal hard way. Was actually very curious about several parts of the virtualbox terminal commands.
In the review for suggested edits queue, there was this post:
https://askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/297636
Now the edit seems fine, but what are all the s doing there? I'm not that good (in my mind) of seeing how the mark-up will actually 'translate' into html, especially when th...
