I'm using the official ubuntu/bionic64 Virtualbox image in Vagrant. When starting it comes up as a spinning disk (HDD) on a SCSI controller. I'd like to change this to be treated as an SSD (aka "nonrotational") on a SATA controller with host I/O cache to see if that's any faster. I don't seem to ...

Every week i got the same trouble. I have a server running Ubuntu and It has 192.168.1.5 as static IP.
There is no shutdown or restart but sometimes it changes the IP to 192.168.1.127. In addition i have to restart the dnsmasq service to use it.
Any idea?
I have the following problem: I want to set a variable if my condition is true.
This proofs my if-statement is correct:
> (if [ 1 == 1 ]; then echo "hi there"; fi);
> hi there
This proofs that I can set variables:
> a=1
> echo $a
1
This shows that setting a variable in the if-statement DOE...
When I search "word" using "/word" in the terminal and for example 30 results are found, is there a key combination for going to the next/previous found results?!
@Fabby I'm in the man pages of the git and I search the word "staged" by just typing "/staged" and all matches are highlighted, I thought it wasn't proper to be a separate question.
@cl-netbox I'll need it as now I'm Going to be interviewed by the boss of the boss and one of his minions and they're going to see whether I can fit in the group...
@Fabby those tools, right as deja-dup are completely unreliable - stay away from them ... better use dirdiff - I use it daily and it never failed ... :)
no Dell screwed me yesterday saying the original order was cancelled internally because of "invalid parts" which makes no sense, had to redo the whole order

> This shows just how flimsy the words “interpreted” and “compiled” can be. Like most adjectives applied to programming languages, they are thrown around as if they were black-and-white distinctions, but the reality is much subtler and complex.
like I thought: nothing specific is not known. :)
on an unrelated note, isn’t it funny how biology explores life for centuries now while we still have no clear definition of what “life” actually is?
@dessert in The Open Society and its Enemies, Karl Popper points out that while philosophers seem to spend a lot of time trying to define terms and find out the essential nature of what they are dealing with, scientists have in general just got on with looking into it without troubling overmuch about the terms used
It's funny that you should mention biology because I just joined the biology SE so I could upvote the Q&As that helped me today when I was "typing" my dyslexic student's assignment about ATP

@JBis or even refrain from installing a GUI at all and choose the Ubuntu server install image – I run a Thinkpad T42 (manufactured until 2006) as a server with Ubuntu
@dessert Not 100% sure. Maybe use as a backup for my other server. Although not sure how to setup. It's a web server so it would basically detect a bunch of things pertaining to logs and maintenance and in the event that I need to take the main server offline I can still serverparts of the website
although I have a remote google cloud instance doing a similar thing Incase I loose power

Can I create a bootable USB stick using an Apple Macbook? Then can I use that stick to upgrade a windows PC to a ubuntu version.
I'd like to create a Windows 8 bootable USB stick, but I don't have a Windows machine with me to do so.
So how do I do it using Ubuntu?
