Q: How to know the system architecture of Ubuntu 17.10

coding_ninzaI am using Ubuntu 17.10, 64-bit. For installing a crack I want to know my full system architecture. How do I find it?

 
@AryoAdhi I'd recommend IntelliJ personally
They have a free "community" edition that will usually meet the needs of most.
 
I'll put it into my consideration

@cl-netbox \o/
 
@Ravan Hey, who is that ? :D Nice to see you after quite a long time. :) How are you doing ?
 
I do my best in posting messages in Ask Ubuntu, but I am not perfect.
Some people are editing my messages resulting in getting messages that I am about to be banned.
 
@cl-netbox :) Nice to see you to...Yeah, I am good. :D . What about you?...btw got the job and settled
 
How do I know when someone is chatting with me?
Have to go.
 
@Ravan Congrats ! :) That's good news ! :) I am fine too - thank you ! :)
@fixit7 When someone replies to what you say for example ... :D
 
4:36 PM
@cl-netbox :D
 
@Ravan Still running EOS ? :D
 
@cl-netbox nah...U16.04 in PC and win10 in lapy
 
Thanks.
 
@Ravan okay :) good choice :)
@fixit7 Maybe you should contact a moderator here ... the only one checked in at the moment is @terdon. :)
 
@cl-netbox thanks :) lot changed in one and half year... your dp per se
 
4:42 PM
Hi @fixit7 (thanks @cl-netbox) what's the problem?
 
Hi terdon :) Good evening :)
 
hello
 
@Ravan what do you mean with "dp per se" ? :)
 
@cl-netbox your profile pic
@terdon @Seth Hello
 
@fixit7 When you don't response to what terdon asked you, how can we help you then ?
 
4:45 PM
Anyway, @fixit, people editing your posts won't get you banned. If anything, it will make it less likely that you will be banned since the edits are usually improvements.

Have to go.
There's no hurry. He can answer whenever he gets back.
 
okay :)
@Ravan ah yes - okay :)
 
I’m having Ethernet trouble suddenly on 16.04 kernel 4.13.0-26-generic. I tried updating networkmanager.conf to managed=true but that didn’t help. Older kernels like 4.10.0-42 work fine. Can you guys help?
 
5:01 PM
@Ravan hi!
 
also I tried reinstalling the newest kernel.

^^ cc @Seth @NathanOsman
 
Ooh.
But no Linux support :(
 
6:50 PM
yes sadly not but always a chance it will play fine with wine :)
 
fair
 
with this it makes 261 titles i have on steam overall :) (of which are 93 native on linux)
 
lol. Pluralsight's tech "IQ" test rated me as an expert in python. hahahahaha. It obviously doesn't work.
 
lol can you link that hahahah
 
my results or the test?
 
7:04 PM
the test lol
 
thank you :) now lets see hehehe
 
I think I'm just a good test taker. I guess on a lot of the questions.
Got a 194 out of 300 in HTML5 when most of the questions were about backend details I have no idea about lol
 
I can't sleep-
 
7:14 PM
@AryoAdhi is 5 minutes the default for suspend after inactivity in the power settings in ubuntu?
 
it should be
 
@AryoAdhi ok
 
but I set up my laptop config to not sleep at all unless I manually suspend it
which actually abit dangerous if I forget...
 
intentionally disable suspend to make sure updates are downloaded and installed properly
 
7:23 PM
@Seth hehehe well i at leats made it proficient in python :D
got many of those weird math questions
 
@Videonauth nice!
 
I've posted a question by the way.
 
Like I said, I think I'm just good at taking tests. I can guess the right answer a lot more than I really know it
 
@AdamTheChespin and we all did see it, that someone is not answering onto it means probably that actually no one has a clue how to answer it (at least thats the case for me) and chooses not to speak up because of that
 
7:25 PM
@Seth messed up those math questions and one i think was outright wrong but im actually right now testing my thesis in python
 
I don't want to reinstall though. Got a lot of stuff on here.
 
if you have still an older kernel installed use this as long and file a bug report, this securty update fix was a hell of rushed and brought alot of bugs with it, they are currently really working hard on fixing things on that
 
@Videonauth how do i do that?
 
as long your not browsing every day on weird unknown sites the actual danger is pretty low
@AdamTheChespin a bug report? or how to start with a lower numbered kernel?
 
@Videonauth bug report.
 
7:29 PM
in terminal: ubuntu-bug linux-image-4.13.0-26-generic
 
@Videonauth oh that's cool!
haha, I manged to test expert in MySQL too. Never even used it xD
Although I did take one class.
 
@Seth it was asking a = [1, 2, 3]; b = a ; a[0]= 73 ; b[0] = 42; x = a[0] which value has x
well i was wrong
 
@Videonauth not 73?
 
well its actually 42
which really surprised me
 
lets test it
 
7:36 PM
>>> a = [1, 2, 3]; b = a; a[0]= 73; b[0] = 42; x = a[0]
>>> print(x)
42
 
indeed. Interesting.
Oh duh.
I bet it's a pass by reference thing.
 
guess so, i assumed it made a copy of the list
 
@Videonauth everything is 42
 
@Videonauth yeah but python is pass by reference, not pass by value.
 
@TheWanderer ah cool that youre here, do you know applications which allow me to use my phone as a webcam for my pc
 
7:37 PM
uhhhhhhhhhhhh
no?
I don't think that's possible really

@Videonauth --^ see the last two commands
 
really interesting tho
well learned something today then :)
 
7:41 PM
That's one of the places it's easy to trip up on in python. b = a means b equals the memory address of a, not the value of a. But python handles all that behind the scenes so you don't notice.
 
@TheWanderer i have read back in time that it might be possible
 
One case of explicit python being implicit.
 
I can see it being theoretically possible
 
very tricky one i did not know of before
 
but with restrictions on Android, latency in networks, and general weirdness involved, if there is a solution, it's gonna be crappy
 
7:43 PM
I imaged you'd use a cable.
 
well if i find a solution i let you know, otherwise i simply have to record with my phone onto an seperate SD card and then load the recorded stuff onto my machine
 
that makes it even worse @Seth
 
why
 
I'm almost certain you can't transfer anything you want over USB to and from an Android
 
well i only know my phone is able to USB2go
 
7:44 PM
but that's storage
 
means my phone being a host for USB devices
well i can record on the phone too, so it does not matter really would be simply more convenient to do the recording on the PC for what I'm trying to do
will then simply cut it together in post production
streaming it over the net back to my pc sounds not feasible to me
 
I mean, you could always call yourself on Hangouts or Skype or something
 
true that might work tho, the problem will be the latency , my signal going from germany to where the heck those skype servers are located and back to me
 
Skype servers are actually nearby to you
HQ is Lexumbourg

@TheWanderer Root skype server is actually in Redmond. Or was, as of ~2-3 years ago.
 
shrug
 
Tho I suppose if they have an HQ in Lexumbourg it doesn't matter where the root is :P

Are there contexts where it makes sense to set a directory with execute but not read?
From what I know, execute means you can go into a directory, read means you can read information about the directory
So essentially --x means you're allowed to fumble around blind within a directory, right? Is there a case where this is the intended result?
 
if you only want a program to know about its own executables, maybe
