First, I am pretty much a complete noob when it comes to linux/unix operating systems. A few days ago I followed a guide to install xfce (precise) on my Chromebook. I did this so I could install the arduino IDE.
After a recent Chromebook OS update, everything seems to have gone to hell, and righ...
Apparently we should merge them asap though because synonymizing leaves all the resolution questions in limbo, since their tag doesn't really exist anymore.
So we should try to clean out as many non display resolution tags as possible.
There is no reliable way to do this, but I have written the below function which should (in theory) continue to work forever:
function nxt_release() {
curl -s http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | grep \<h1\> | sed -e 's/<[^>]*>//g' -e s/'[Dd]aily [Bb]uild'/''/g
}

I might need to write this one up in a question, but has anyone heard of an issue with xdotool where it cannot send keys to other gnome-terminal windows, but can send to other terminal windows like aterm without a problem?
I don't think so. I run a keepalive script from a gnome-terminal window, and I tell it to send to the classname of aterm and it sends a Space / Backspace without any issues.
I might have to write all this up in a big question. Too much info on it. All I know is that when I first wrote the script, and was running it in Ubuntu 12.04, it worked fine to other open gnome-terminal sessions. Then it stopped. I was able to change from classname of gnome-terminal to class of aterm, and it works fine that way. I use this for work where I have to keep Lights Out Management windows to say like Dell servers open that tend to timeout in 60 seconds.
Now I have it running in 14.04.
@NathanOsman WOW! You were the very first question on here! Nice!
I'm running Ubuntu 15.04. I usually disable the touchpad. (because my palms make the cursor jump all over the screen!)
When I suspend (by closing my laptop's lid) and then resume (by opening the lid), the touchpad is reactivated.
How can I get Ubuntu to remember and restore the touchpad's state...
@Helio I'd left a chat window open. I'm not sure. But you can play around with synclient to get more speed, and enable two-button -> middleclick (synclient ClickFinger2=3, I think).
@A.B. i went out with my mom and her friend to another town, crossed the main ukrainian river in a boat, got drunk, came back under the rain. So far no new answers, quite shallow. Yesterday only got 57 points
thank god i had enough mind not to post anything horrible in the chat when i was drunk, but i did send facebook messages to my buddy back in the states. -_-
so, i kept thinking about kos's question and i didn't find anything 100% reliable to check last internet connection. My answer relies heavily on NetworkManager, logs seem to be better but dhcp requests and "bount to" messages are also not reliable, especially if a machine has static ip
@A.B. Man, that question is a train wreck. "Hey, actually, my problem is completely different, I just asked the first question to see if you were paying attention! Hehee"
This is a bit too complex to be legible as a one liner so here's a commented gawk script:
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
## Save the data in array data: data[M][INS]=dinucleotide
NR==FNR{
data[$2][$1]=$3;
next
}
## Save the groups in array groups: groups[GRN][INS]
{
groups[$1][$2]++
}
## Now that...
Mine needs to load everything into memory. Don't really see an easy way around it but give it a go! @Serg @A.B.
Just had this review.
It was someone wanting to but the Ubuntu phone and remove Ubuntu from it. This belongs on Android Enthusiasts I guess.
Do we need to add (now we support Ubuntu touch) a link to the mobile sites?
I really don't understand why anyone would object. It's just for fun and very shortlived.
Even if you happen to be a bigot, surely you can bear it for a couple of days!
I don't mean you, by the way.
@NathanOsman I can see the argument about not being relevant but only from the "we hate fun" brigade of SO. Any other argument is very hard to support.
Mind you, I do consider it bigotry. By the very definition given in that comic strip. There is no reason to be against same sex marriage unless you are also against same sex relationships in some way and that, by definition really, is bigotry.
@terdon it just feels like they are saying "we're a community and this is how we feel" when it's a problem for some of the community and not how everyone feels.
@terdon ...and likewise so is opposition to such people.
@NathanOsman Well, it is actually as demonstrated by the >1k upvotes and measly ~100 downvotes.
@NathanOsman Not at all. Why? I consider it bigotry when someone is discriminated against based on their sexual preferences, a choice that affects nobody but themselves and whoever they want to have fun with.
Your argument, and that of the comic strip, seems to be that it's bigotry to disagree with your opinion on a subject.
All that happens is that a group of people suddenly got more rights. Nobody's rights were diminished by this.
@NathanOsman Oh you mean that SO is pushing an agenda?
As I said, I disagree since there is a 10 to 1 ratio of approval.
And there's no agenda to be pushed. You might have had a point had this been done before the court decision. Now, it's done. What agenda could there be?
Might I put in my two cents? The gay rights community, within the last year, has become extremely hostile towards people who differ in view. What with the lawsuits, social media hostility, and just general pressure applied to anyone who dares publicly share their opinion in opposition to gay rights, it's no wonder there's "a majority" of people supporting this - they don't want to risk the massive upheaval caused by these groups.
@RPiAwesomeness Well, the anti gay right community has been far more hostile and for far more years. Show me an example of someone being killed, beaten up or even raped because they opposed gay rights.
@NathanOsman Gladly. I enjoy debating with you. I think we disagree on just about everything that's not technical but you put forth arguments, not rants, so the discussion is one I find interesting.
@terdon Those are extremists, not the majority of the public. Most people would not go around murdering LGBTQ people. All I'm saying is that the actual level of support for gay rights may not be as high as people think, it may be artificially inflated by what has been done and threatened. However, I lack facts to back this up, so I'll just leave it on the table as what I've seen.
@RPiAwesomeness Sorry, but that's just nonsense. The majority of the public doesn't give a hoot, one way or the other. It is only the religious right that actually vehemently, and extremely vocally and often violently, objects.
Yes. You're right. But the fact remains that, unfortunately, there are extremists and quite often they put themselves under the banner of religion to somehow rationalize their actions.
And @NathanOsman is right - this isn't the right room for this.
@A.B. That won't work with %s as far as I know. Also, why don't you break your commands across multiple lines so they can be read without horizontal scrolling?
I still don't understand what the point of the awk is. You're taking a null-delimited string and printing a null delimited string. Why use awk at all?
@MuditKapil No, that command will empty your home directory every time you start a new interactive (non-login) shell. Basically, every time you open a new terminal or reboot.
@RPiAwesomeness lol, they keep changing their statement... they should just say "It's not free, you just pre-bought the upgrade when you bought a win 7/8 computer."
