Ask Ubuntu General Room

how are you doing @Serg @JacobVlijm?

@IanC Fine! how are you?

@JacobVlijm all good, only a bit tired from work

@IanC what time (zone) are you in?

10:05 AM

@JacobVlijm I know those two methods are different, but judging from OP's post, they aren't doing adbecf. If they simply want to do cat file1 file2 file3 > out.txt , that's a duplicate anyway. It's just a matter of what OP wants , because there's already tons and tons of questions about merging files

@JacobVlijm GMT -3 (+ Summertime), it's 8:06am here

got home from work a few minutes ago, graveyard shift this week until tomorrow

@Serg Absolutely, but the question is to what dupe we should link him. He seems to want to merge only specific files. I think there is where the dupe definition is.

@IanC Aaaargh, so you worked through the night...

@JacobVlijm yeah, at least this shift is ending, so I get 2 days off :D

@IanC Nice! 11:10 a.m. here...

@JacobVlijm True. Let's just wait and see

10:14 AM

"The Package System is broken", omg, is it a nightmare beginning?

Byte Commander

Nope. A nightmare by definition ends when you wake up.

lol

the kernel-generic package had broken dependencies, trying to fix it

Meanwhile, I'm just AWKing and BASHing around, like it's a right thing to do at 3:19 AM

10:30 AM

Aaand added Python and Perl. Smexy !

@Serg go sleep...

@JacobVlijm @_@ No.Must.Make.Scripts. I can't resist my addiction

@Serg I know the feeling...

Mark Yisri

Just woke up... good morning !

Ha Mark

10:35 AM

Meowning

@Serg variation on "Alcohol causes more damage than you like"

Lovely XD

:)

And I just added xargs. Probably that question won't get any attention at all

Q: I need to get into the setup utility on an Acer Aspire 3620

11:42 AM

The bios utility has a password and I don't know it.

grub2

off topic

@KazWolfe how's this ? askubuntu.com/a/872159/295286

Q: Why do we have to lose hibernation data when we mount NTFS read-write?

1

I understand that hibernation prevents (by default) the user from mounting their disk in read-write mode on Ubuntu. Attempting to use read-write forces erasure of hiberfil.sys. How do I keep hiberfil.sys (and still mount read-write)?

windows hibernate

duped

@KazWolfe there another +1 from me >:=D

@Serg nice one on the port scans :)

Thanks :) I kind of feel there's a lot more i could add, but it's enough for now

Interesting. I've learned that . . .there's something known as icmpsh , a shell that uses icmp only, so scanning for TCP/UDP network won't work. security.stackexchange.com/a/148371/121824

A: Trying to install Ubuntu results in freezing splash screen - nomodeset did not work

11:58 AM

@MadaraUchiha @terdon : I wrote an answer which may solve the problem ... hope it helps ... :)

First things first ... SCHENKER ships the same notebooks which are based on CLEVO barebones with Ubuntu preinstalled through their sub-company TUXEDO ... so it just must work somehow. Even that I don't know the exact model you are having ... it is a quite new machine because it has the latest ...

Good morning everybody ! :)

Morning

@Serg Hi Sergiy ! :)

@MadaraUchiha I think we can get it done ... please proceed as described ... it should work ! :)

Begone , spam daemon

I thin i need to learn how to relax

12:15 PM

@Serg I am afraid we are not capable of such a complicated thing as relaxing.

...tried for many years

Yeah, it seems like that. When I'm working on any answer, i tend to tense up like almost every muscle.

It takes me some effort to sort of let go

@cl-netbox boxy!

@Serg ...because you feel you are in a hurry, but the target is always one step ahead of where you are.

Yup. Always trying to get it done as fast as possible

woah, that was fast

I didn't even get to flag , awwww

This is the situation of a scripter; you'll never get there where you aim for.

12:26 PM

Well, if it's ambitious, big program, then sure - ideal image is different from what the result is in the end. But with something like this : unix.stackexchange.com/q/337504/85039 where you need to make bunch of links from a list, i'd say one can get close enough

Nice. You do realize that a split life will make it even more difficult to relax?

Split life ? What do you mean ?

...across SE sites

Even more questions to look into...

Yeah, I know. But I don't answer too many questions on U&L. Maybe one or two when i have time. So, AU still takes the majority of my time

So I think it won't add too much difficulty

There is only AskUbuntu! :=)

12:37 PM

@Rinzwind True of course :)

...or true, depending on the language...

Or : for bash folks

There never was any doubt! Doubters should be eradicated :=)

What? are you running for president?

Erradication is path to the dark side, not the way of Jedi that is ( says, Serg, in Yoda voice )

@Serg the jedi killed more people than you want us to believe! :=)

:)

brb

12:41 PM

rbr

Well, at least Jedi kill in defense . . . Sith kill for fun or whenever they wanna

also, bbr

or rrb . . . or lol

omg,lol,bbq,wtf ?

for s in [omg,lol,bbq,wtf]:
   s = True

...going to grab some food brb

map(lambda x: x = True , [omg,lol,bbq,wtf])

Byte Commander

Wat?

That makes no sense...

@ByteCommander shhhh, programmers relaxing . . . when we are, we don't need to make sense

12:52 PM

We need to make no sense

Finally, an interesting question. ^^

Aaand gone

1:08 PM

@Rinzwind Good afternoon Rinzy ! :)

@MadaraUchiha @terdon as an informational addition to my answer : I again tested booting the installation media ... removed the 3 characters (---) and added nouveau.modeset=0 ! Worked perfectly ! :)

does boot repair also fix windows boot? >:)

1:23 PM

@Rinzwind no ... but maybe it destroys it ! :D :D :D

@UbuntuUser Congrats (again) ! :)

@cl-netbox Do you know how to make a virtual machine?

@UbuntuUser a joke ? :D

@UbuntuUser of course I know ... I use some ... :)

@cl-netbox No, do you? On ubuntu 16.04

@cl-netbox OK I didn't know

@UbuntuUser what ? don't understand ... :)

Here I'll make a chat and we can talk in there.

@cl-netbox Can I ask you to help me learn how to use a virtual machine?

2:53 PM

@UbuntuUser Yes you can ... but it has to be specific what you ask ... there's some home work for you to do

@cl-netbox Well EVERYTHING on askubuntu is pretty much homwork! LOL

@UbuntuUser for a good start : sudo apt install qemu qemu-kvm virt-manager

@cl-netbox why not use the room I made: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/51826/virtual-machine-setup

@UbuntuUser yes ... why not ? :)

See you there!

@cl-netbox Hello? Did you click on the link?

2:59 PM

@UbuntuUser yes ... can't you see me ? :D
