@karel that vote isn't me, but as long as it gets the requisite votes to keep it from being auto-deleted -- it's still useful even if it is deleted/on-hold
i skip the step in question in the use case for that question by disabling username/password login and just using pre-shared keys. it's a valid-ish question, but i am on the fence about it. the question and answer both have enough votes to stem off auto-deletion though, so not that big a deal. the close reason might change or it might get re-opened. either way, the flagpost is set.
think, unsupported changes to bug. still closed. still has votes. still is useful and not auto-deleted. no problems. why fight with it. the system is working its magic.
A dirty hack:
sudo -u memilanuk gvim
That will run with sudo, bypassing the global app menu but as your user, so you still have easy access to all your files, no permissions issues etc.
To make this simpler, set up passwordless sudo for this command:
Run sudo visudo, which will allow you t...
unity is still Qt. It's a better decision in either case, I just think if you're deving on Qt you should choose KDE. It's like saying I want meat and potatoes, but i want to cook only with vegetables. It just doesn't make any sense at all.
And there is something in Unity that does make sense?
Sorry, my prejudices are shining through
Would you have any idea how to disable the global menu thing for a specific app? My answer above is a horrible hack, there must be a more elegant way of doing it.
One that does not require me to start with an empty ENV (env -i) by preference
@terdon unified experience across devices. so unity on a handheld makes sense. it makes me feel like i'm a four year old on a desktop though. i just use something else because i don't need to be trained to use an OS.
@hbdgaf argh! I hate that. Everyone is on this bloody handheld bandwagon. I want an OS that is designed for my hardware class. I don't want a desktop OS on a handheld and I don't want a phone's OS on my PC.
Windows8, Gnome3 and Unity all doing the same crap.
my hardware list: old hpdv7 that is missing keys, asus touchscreen laptop from walmart in the 400 range on clearance, raspi, android pre-pay, raspi, nexus 7, and no TV.
@hbdgaf nice :). Mine: cobbled together desktop (still has a floppy drive from 15 years ago) all sorts of stuff in it, dell 54500 laptop with LMDE, lenovo t450 with Arch, 1st generation iPad, Pi that I don't really use and no TV.
Trying to create a new partition for home, I entered this code:
sudo cp -Rp /home/* /media/9f5f94b-1296-4e58-bd44-e92ea217f948
Terminal then displayed nothing and now when I log in to my account, I am brought immediately back to the log in screen.
How do I fix the problem without reinstallin...
my old desktop was shipped after the hard drive retaining screws and one of the two power supplies were removed. i don't own tech i can't carry on my shoulders.
@hbdgaf Yeah, but it used to be horrible, You had no idea where the flag came from or why and actually had to join the source chat room to see it. They must have changed it recently
Guys, calm down on the flaming and the chat flags. I don't like seeing a thousand flags for marginal statements in an argument. Pick an awful one and flag it or let it go...
I need to install a single version of Ubuntu on 2 usb flash drives, what is the best partitioning scheme to use for this situation? all i want to do on the flash drives are play minecraft, and use for minimal everyday things.
the current on i want to use is
/dev/sda = / 8gb (My root)
/dev/sdb...
@terdon I'm not sure how I would decided on that one depending on context and likeness. Just saying, that's a gray area... I mean, just because it's ACTUALLY A VEGETABLE doesn't mean it does pass the DBAD test.
