@Serg If I would have done that (posting the link) ... @JacobVlijm would have ... you know what you would have said - right Jacob ? :D But nevertheless +1 for your answer Sergiy ! :)
I'm afraid you've already surpassed me, I don't know anything about that package. I have absolutely nothing to add to your answer apart from the upvote I already gave it.
@Serg: Why is it that I have such a strong association with you and Pandas? Did we ever talk about them or am I just going mad? Because every time I hear more Panda news I think "I must tell Serg about that"! :D
@cl-netbox I would ask the question "This morning when I rebooted, I suddenly found that I was booting up Trisquel GNU/Linux rather than Ubuntu, and I don't remember installing that!". I don't think that's been asked yet.
@gracious1 Makes not much sense ... the main question is how to install ubuntu again - right ? also this would make you look stupid ... which you don't want - right ? :)
@cl-netbox I see what you are saying here, but I think I will try doing it with the same /home . If it causes problems then perhaps I will do the clean install as a last resort.
@terdon @cl-netbox but by asking the stupid question, I found out that possibly the problem was due to my editing my sources.list in the first place, which I now know I will never do again
@cl-netbox I'm sure I will laugh about this next year. :/
@cl-netbox We are agreed that possibly that line in sources.list was the cause? If so, it might be worth posting the question so that other clueless newbies will see they need to keep their paws off sources.list !
@gracious1 from now on select carefully which repos you add ... many are not maintained anymore - example : tualatrix is depricated for a long time ... ubuntu tweak is dead ! :)

@gracious1 you don't need them ... because when you install the new ubuntu you will have a clean list ... just change the server from local to main
@cl-netbox Well I think I will avoid manually editing sources.list if that's okay with you. :D I don't want to wake up another morning and find I'm running Puppy Linux or something.
@gracious1 yes it's okay ... but removing the country from the entries is not difficult ... but in Software & Updates it's most easy ... Puppy Linux ... hahaha :D
@Zacharee1 um . . . zipped files need to be.extracted, so as long as you extract the file in same dir as zip, you can call zip by filename . . .or by checking its contents and seeing if.script is.in zip file if there might be.multiple zips
I will write 1000 times on the blackboard: "Do not manually edit sources.list. "
@terdon cl-netbox said I shouldn't pose my question to the main site, but I can't help wondering if someone wouldn't learn something from my experience. (What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.)
I suppose you could always post it and answer it in case anyone happens to add the specific line you did. It will still be closed as a dupe and some idiot might downvote you, but it might help some future user.

More likely the version of readlink that ships with Android doesn't have an -f option.
Anyway, that function will read a file name and, if it is a link, return what it points to. If it is a link to a link, it repeats until it finds something that isn't a link.
@Zacharee1 apparently it is supposed to give back full path to file once it appears. Thats why infinite while loop is used. it nees sleep call though and is probably a poor but simple way to do it
@terdon I will try to make this my last question. The "Install Ubuntu" website mentions having to use "install refind" if you have Mac OS. So I gather by implication that if I have a Windows partition, Ubuntu will see it automatically, nothing to worry about?
But you are then copying a file called "zip" into /sbin. If you are trying to install zip on your android by taking the executable from another OS, it won't work.
My goal is to meet the requirements to compile the Linux kernel. I need reiserfsprogs >= 3.6.3. I ran sudo apt-get install reiserfsprogs. Then reiserfsck -V says 3.6.24. I then ran apt-cache showpkg reiserfsprogs and it gave

Unless the recursive function is simple enough to be inlined by the compiler, every single recursion level will require arguments to be pushed onto the stack and popped when the function returns. A loop may even allow the compiler to skip the stack altogether and just use registers.
@NathanOsman if we can afford to use memory, which is the case on most modern computers, then why not. Also, what the article said - it is easier to do tree traversal in recurdion
I need a program that can manage files on a remote device running Linux using SCP. The remote device runs OpenWrt. On Windows there is a perfect one WinSCP. it is weird that there is no native program that can be used.

What I need to do is reformat the partition I am using for Ubuntu because of the problems I am having, so it's sort of a clean install, but not entirely because I'm using my same home directory, which is in a different partition.
Are there any disadvantages to upgrading PostgreSQL to 9.6 on Ubuntu 16.04, knowing that Ubuntu 16.04 officially supports PostgreSQL 9.5?
