For Ubuntu, is there a website/file which for a given release, e.g. 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver), lists the available (default) version of available software packages?
For example, I want to know which version of gcc is shipped with Ubuntu 18.04. Note that I do not have Ubuntu installed on my curren...
@terdon, @Takkat: I think we should merge askubuntu.com/q/1056493/175814 and askubuntu.com/q/989000 because they deal with the same issue of the same PPA yet their answers are very different. (I raised a mod flag with a slightly confusing description and wanted to clarify my intentions here.)
@DavidFoerster sorry, I'm only a site mod for German Language (and by this in chat too). This is of no use for Ask Ubuntu moderation. Ask @Mitch he will be much better equipped here :)
I am trying to understand how to unload unncessary filesystems according to the CIS Ubuntu hardening guide.
I need help in understanding what actually the following commands for modprobe does:
modprobe -n -v cramfs
install /bin/true
A couple for questions here :
If I am trying to remove so...
I have a Linux Mint 18.3 desktop and a notebook and want to upgrade my SSD disks from ext4 to btrfs. I don't have much space left on them, so I want to make a live conversion (if you know how to do it in Ubuntu, it should work for Mint too).
Since Timeshift is default in Mint 19, I would prefer ...
I have installed linux ver of HSNM2 on a server. There seems to be a problem reg env variables. I am not able to figure, it looks simple and confusing.
root@server:/usr/stonavm$ cat setup_env.sh

export DAMP_ROOT_DIR_PATH="/usr/stonavm"

Hi @Zanna. I have an off-topic question (which I could presumably ask on some language site) but anyway: I just wrote a question and was unsure whether "When I plug in my HDD..." or "When I plug my HDD in..." is correct. Or are they the same?
@AmithKK :-) I just deleted my comments. Thank you for the edit.
@Zanna I think it was Mark Twain who said German is a crappy language because the verb comes last in almost all the sentences. As in "When I plug my HDD (which is a really fast and silent device, built by ACME and sold at Radio Shack for just 38 £) out, then …"
@PerlDuck haha I love it when the verb comes at the end. I endorse this grammar. BTW "plug out" is not really acceptable. I see that a lot. But we say "unplug"
@AmithKK I definitely think it's a good topic to raise and generate discussion about though... we have some questions like that with a few answers I think, it's pretty messy and unsatisfying. Also people tend to latch onto the phrase minimal bash-like line editing is supported and mention only that haha
I used this system cmd with
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
As I read it fixed the dual boot problem but now my computer won't boot at all, it loops infinitely on this screen.
Followed advice from here
@AmithKK you mentioned direnv in an answer recently. I didn't know it and I think I will like it. But one question: Would you consider it useful in an environment with shared (group-writable) directories for setting umask?
I installed linux lite and after that i dont see my hdd as an option in boot options.
I'm able to boot from USB.
Secure boot is disabled and so is fast boot.
When i run a live USB, which contains linux lite and i am able to see the drive and see the contents so i'm sure its working fine.
I alrea...
(It pops up a warning the first time it sees one in a folder you've never been to before so that there's no case where you download something malicious from like git or something and rm -rf your system by cd-ing into a direcory)
That would be a fun reddit post: TIFU by cd-ing into the wrong directory
@alebal This need not be in the .htaccess in that case. It could very well be in the root httpd.conf for it to apply to all websites. Since the User-Agent is actually part of the request body, unlike the IP address, any ufw based solution would have to search for a string in each packet and that sounds like a way to get DDoS'd quite easily — Amith KK44 secs ago
Could someone with experience with ufw please confirm that this is indeed the case?
@AmithKK UFW is designed to be uncomplicated. Not to handle complex tasks (they'd need manually edited into the UFW startup processes/scripts and wouldn't show on the ufw rules list)
This occurred today and at other times. Anyone else experienced it?
It has occured on 16.04 and 18.04.(Ubuntu Mate)
