I just never imagined it being that different, as I've had some of my processes and procedures converted to US English by technical writers, but they never came back to me with stuff like that!
(typing in the dark, sorry for the speeling errors)
@hbdgaf I was wearing a shirt, so I wore a tie too... And as I was going to cook, I wore an apron... And as my aunt thought that very funny and it was sunny outside, she wanted to take a pic....
I don't like my picture taken, but as she insisted, I gave in...
Shucks. I'm not gonna be able to push any updates to my repo today :(
There goes that nice green streak I had going :'(
Here's hoping that re-doing the thermal paste on my CPU helps with temps and performance. Doubtful though, I think the real issue is that my hard drive is on its way out.
My family seriously needs to upgrade. We've got some behemoth 15" (basically square) CRT display that's probably bigger than me if I'm rolled into a ball.
@JourneymanGeek ikr. Maybe when I get out of college I go live near you and @NathanOsman and @Mateo and @Seth and a few of the other guys can come too and we can just be buds!
Hey my computer has been trying to upgrade to the latest release of Windows 10 since I turned it on when I got off work 6 hours ago... it has been stuck at 31%, am I screwed?

I am in eOS Freya stable, clean install. I had the same problem before in Ubuntu proper or Xubuntu and have found a solution on askubuntu that now I cannot find when searching. I hope this will help me.
I had added Libreoffice 4.4 source and then tried to update. Untrusted sources were reported...
hi all: askubuntu.com/questions/414783/… top answer breaks install (and doesn't specify take a backup). I commented a link to the correct answer so people will hopefully read this before trying the first answer. Not sure of the correct procedure for old high search ranking questions such as this!
I would like to know how to send video files from Android to C using TCP/IP without data loss. Because i have done the code i am able to receive the file with same size(but the bytes are not matched). When i play the file it is not playing.
I have setup Squid and everything is working. I am now trying to setup a password and all tutorials refer to a file called 'ncsa_auth'. Unfortunately, I do not seem to have this file.
I checked in: /usr/lib64/squid and /etc/squid3. I did find the following file though: /usr/lib/squid3/basic_ncsa...
@A.B. Any reason why you're matching $selected_text against a regex? If you want to test for NULL just [ !$selected_text ]. Also I think xclip wants a clipboard selected, e.g. -selection clipboard
I have a variable in my bash script whose value is something like this:
~/a/b/c
Note that it is unexpanded tilde. When I do ls -lt on this variable (call it $VAR), I get no such directory. I want to let bash interpret/expand this variable without executing it. In other words, I want bash to ru...
Next try:
Create a script:
nano ~/<your_script_folder>/open_selection
Include the following code:
#!/bin/bash
selected_text=$(xclip -o)
if [[ "$selected_text" == ~* ]]; then
file_name=$(python -c "import os; print(os.path.expanduser('$selected_text'))")
else
file_name="$selected_text...
@muru come to think of it, I don't think that ~foo will be a problem. I don't think that is printed anywhere by the system, so I doubt that it can be in the output of a grep. That's used by users only, as far as I know, no system commands.
I have an error to report.
Today, I have started for the first time to review other users's questions and answers. So the error I am talking about never happened to me and I don't know if it was encountered by anyone else. Still, I think it's better to report it.
After editing someone's answer...
@CarlH why? I managed on a brand new machine that had an unsupported video card. The installer crashed 4, 5 times on that and only booted after tweaking the boot proces parameters.
Up to now even the most stubborn machine I had I could install onto it.
Okay..... any suggestions on how I go about that? :)
I think I'll have a look in the BIOS and see if booting from a DVD is an option. Might be easier!
Anyone got any tips for something to test and repair a USB disk? fdisk can't do it. GParted says there's no partition table, creating one doesn't do anything, and there's a yellow warning triangle next to 'unallocated' in GParted's GUI, which comes up as something about an invalid volume label.
@CarlH This might damage it further if it's damaged already, so beware, but if you really don't have nothing to lose just dd the first 1MB: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M count=1 and see if then you can manage to do everything from gparted
@kos Thanks, I'll try that. It was brand new on Monday, the only thing I've done it plug it in a Win8 machine (I know....) and make a bootable Ubuntu device.
@CarlH 1MB is actually an overkill, because the point of the command is to erase just the partition table, so less would be enough, but just to be sure. dding the whole device is unuseful in this case, because it just increases its wear-leveling , you don't want that
@CarlH dding the whole device is usually done to make the data unrecoverable from software tools
hello i am new at cronjob.`

i am trying to execute cron.php file at every 2 minutes.but it's look like not working.
@kos I don't really know, I'm not very knowledgeable about filesystem/MBR mechanics. I've just always heard that the first 512 are the MBR and that's where your partition table will be.
@terdon I'm not sure either. I know that and that GPTs might be larger, but this shouldn't be a problem since if nothing is found within the first 512B i guess that the partition table should be recognized as broken already. But I know that NTFSes have backup sectors stored elsewhere. Looking at this
@Virusboy I know, but I also know NTFS filesystem put a backup of the partition table somewhere else, altough I don't remember well. I think an adequate program could recover such backup sector
A conventional volume boot record will fit within a 512-byte sector, but it is safe for MBR code to load additional sectors to accommodate boot loaders longer than one sector, provided they do not make any assumptions on what the sector size is.In fact, at least 1 KB of RAM is available at address 7C00h in every IBM XT- and AT-class machine, so a 1 KB sector could be used with no problem
