I rebooted recently, and now terminal fails to work. If I click the terminal shortcut or use Guake or ctrl-alt-T, the terminal opens briefly with no prompt, then immediately closes again. I installed xterm as well and the same thing happens.
If I use ctrl-alt-F1 to get to a command line session ...
@Braiam weird, apparently that didn't solve the issue. I'm guessing he's done something similar to some other init file. Or did not actually remove the line...

@strugee yeah? Explain that to my Dad when google serves him an https:// address for his own website and he freaks out cause his browser tells him it's not safe.
Not sure why this occurred but it did, so it's not completely transparent yet. Adding encryption on a webpage with no sensitive data still seems pointless to me.
This has been bothering me for a while, but I have noticed that some websites (the first one that comes to mind is XKCD) use HTTPS for no apparent reason. I mean, XKCD is free and accessible to anyone. Why on earth would they encrypt your session when all you're doing is looking at comics? It see...
@Braiam you can get SSL certificates for free. Also you can make a self signed one, the point is that you're encrypting the traffic b/w your visitors and your server, not that the SSL cert is signed by a provider.
ppl get confused b/c they think that a cert has to authorize the endpoint but certs fulfill 2 purposes. One to prove you are who you say you are and two to provide end to end encryption
@slm self-signed works but personally I would still get a CA-signed cert because otherwise you're vulnerable to all sort of things ranging from passive attacks to active MITM if the attacker intercepts the initiation of the TLS connection
one of the primary reasons that I want to move strugee.net away from GitHub Pages is so that I can turn on HTTPS (along with Transport Security Policy headers)
with the knowledge, of course, that the CA hierarchy system/PKI is Broken and Fucked(tm)
@strugee should be easy enough though I can't really help. I'm sure you know more about networking than I, I know very little. May as well post a question though. Just show the ifconfig from both machines
@Kiwy I tend to always use :wq but that's just by habit; it doesn't really make any difference... tracking the time of last edit should be done by version control software anyway, not by timestamp.

My problem is that whenever i try to connect to some local service it just hangs for example:

when I was like 6 or 7 my friend signed up for Club Penguin with the username "Frooga" and I, being 6 or 7, thought to myself, "man, that's a really cool name"
so I came up with "Strugee" and I've used that as my username online ever since
even though I haven't played Club Penguin for like 8 years or something
@strugee exactly! I haven't played around on my laptop too much. I use it for work and can't afford to break it and fix it as I tend to enjoy doing. Hence, stable distribution with semi-rolling releases.
@strugee No chance of upgrading this box, unfortunately. Requires a complete rebuild, due to the proprietary stuff on it (Dialogic). And even that would only get me to etch... Beyond that, would take a fair bit of work (who knows what changed in newer versions...). Doesn't help that they only officially support RHEL, so I get to discover new & exciting ways they break Debian boxes each time I do a new version. And it currently works, so...
It's mainly call centers—when you call them, their system asks if you'd like to take a survey about the experience, and if you say yes, after the call it transfers you to us...
So, like you have to have an Ethernet card to talk on an Ethernet network, you need a card to talk to the phone network... Except phone cards are much more expensive.
Unless you do VoIP, then you only need an Ethernet card :-P
Where is blacklist-cups-usblp-conf in Ubuntu 12? I am using an Argox 214PLUS USB Printer. It works well on Ubuntu 10. I upgraded to 12 and it's no longer working. I Googled some solutions but they all say I blacklisted it in /etc/modprobe. but I can't find blacklist-cups-usblp-conf. Where is it ...
@FaheemMitha My guess is its something OP found while Googling. Sounds like maybe there is a usblp module that maybe is blacklisted (in /etc/modprobe.d, presumably)
I have the md5sum of a file and I don't know where it is on my system.
Is there any easy option of find to identify a file based on its md5 ?
Or do I need to develop a small script ?
I'm working on AIX 6 without the GNU tools.
Thanks @FaheemMitha - this, with me needing a specific nmcli usage, occurred like a year or more after the last event where I needed the same; I cannot imaging how big should I set the history file, so as to handle needs like this - and even if it was set to that, it would be still tedious to look up something you may have typed a year ago. But it could be an alternative for more frequent events; cheers! — sdaau13 mins ago
I just read through info bash's section on HISTORY and there is no limit mentioned so other than HDD (and RAM if @derobert is right) there sdoes not seem to be a builtin limit
@derobert not quite, it's kept in RAM for the open session (or in a closed file descriptor, not sure) and then copied to HISTFILE when you exit
When an inter‐
active shell exits, the last $HISTSIZE lines are copied from the his‐
tory list to $HISTFILE. If the histappend shell option is enabled (see
the description of shopt under SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below), the lines
are appended to the history file, otherwise the history file is over‐
written.
On startup, the history is initialized from the file named by the vari‐ able HISTFILE (default ~/.bash_history). The file named by the value of HISTFILE is truncated, if necessary, to contain no more than the number of lines specified by the value of HISTFILESIZE. When the his‐ tory file is read, lines beginning with the history comment character followed immediately by a digit are interpreted as timestamps for the preceding history line. These timestamps are optionally displayed
That's the section just before the one I pasted above
