Do we know if a lot of users were removed last night? At first I was paranoid it was one user who upvoted only me. Now I know many users were upvoted (@ByteCommander lost 265 points for example) and I don't have to worry I was the only one. Other sites comment that there was a massive user removal and not just one user. This makes one wonder if a robot did it via a script someone wrote.
@ByteCommander that's one of the weirdest things about Ubuntu for me. It's seems so weird that multiple DEs are a problem. I don't think I've ever had a machine with just one DE.
I've been temped by Arch many times over the years.... Kubuntu or Xubuntu I was reading has an option to repeat Desktop Icons across all monitors. This feature I would find very helpful and I wish Unity/Gnome provided it too sigh
As I said, this issue with multiple DE being a problem is an Ubuntu thing. I've never experienced it. And back when I was using Ubuntu it wasn't a problem, I don't think.
But yeah, it isn't a big deal. And it might be a Debian thing, not an Ubuntu thing. Although I know I had multiple DEs when I was using LMDE which is Debian testing.
@ByteCommander haha at work I have one crappy monitor, crappy keyboard with sticky keys. At home I have the three monitors, wireless keyboard and mouse, etc. But desktop icons only appear on left screen and I want them replicated on all monitors so I can click from less busy one.
@terdon Unity isn't discontinued so much as development has been frozen I think. I'm waiting for 20.04 before I make any substantial change away from Unity.
@terdon A unity fork was floated when they said they would abandon it with 17.10 I think it was. Anyway Unity was brought back in 18.04 because Gnome+Wayland was such a flop!!!!
@Fabby I have a very deep distrust of people who try to cast the world in simple terms. That leads to some very dangerous ideologies and systems of thought where if I'm right, you must be wrong...
do you have some void space below your left monitor?
not the right term, but idk how to call it
when you have multiple monitors of different sizes, the blank space that is not visible when you draw a single rectangle around all the displayed screen area
or what appears black if you do an all-monitors screenshot
@ByteCommander yes there is void space. yes multiple sized monitors. Left 1920x1080, Right 3840x2160, bottom right 1920x1080. yes I figure something changed recently but it used to work ok on the left monitor :(
Our resident Python expert Joseph has a nice script to get lost icons back on screen. Plus I'm thinking I can hack his python script to move all icons to one of my three monitors :)
@Rinzwind Oh at me... YOU JUST WAIT 30 MINUTES. I'm going to post a question and then YOU JUST WAIT MANY MANY DAYS and I'll post a nifty bash script as an answer :)
We are trying to delete files with total size of 1GB aprox on production server, it will take around 1Hour time.

Please help me how to trouble shoot this type of issue
@Rinzwind yah yah I know you've said many times how man pages gets you enormous rep :( I prefer the more challenging answers where I go into a closet coding 82 hours and then get three up votes :P
Don't know that adage but was thinking that at work yesterday when new person adjusted in $20,000 to inventory by using wrong part number. We taught them how to enter adjustments but doesn't fix them adjusting wrong part number.
Ironically wrong # was 1" hex nut, right # should have been 1/4" washer. So it gets back to "nuts & bolts" or "meat and potatoes" or just simply common sense...
Well my 425 point drop this morning is now only 330 points... Still might have to post some man page answers to get back to zero hahaha :P
Hehe, @WinEunuuchs2Unix well, Joseph runs in the family (father's side). Male human beings are named either Jacob or Joseph. I became a Jacob. I am sure you will have python 3 though, unless you are running 12.04 or so :)
@JacobVlijm Your great answer on arranging icons onto desktop grid (already upvoted last year) has got me started on new project to do it in bash and to multiple monitors: askubuntu.com/questions/1146175/…
@JacobVlijm Nah: it's revenge: We posted an answer that resulted in a user losing all of his data on all of his backups, so he self-deleted his account!
@Rinzwind Good point (pun intended) we lost rep after @ByteCommander became mod and he accidentally ran the script titled "Warning to new mods don't run this script unless you fully understand it"

This may be a self-answered question soon but, in the meantime I'm hoping there is an existing solution I can use in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with Unity Desktop.

problem is I already have program to dim three monitors and set color temperature and dawn and dusk over hour or so. don't want to confuse myself with name "dim".
I raised a custom in need of moderator intervention flag on this post because it was a link-only answer (when I did). The user has also posted another link-only with the same link. So, I found more appropriate to flag one post for moderator intervention and explain them the situation.

No command 'iconic' found, did you mean:
Command 'iconc' from package 'iconc' (universe)
Command 'ironic' from package 'python-ironicclient' (universe)
Command 'ironic' from package 'python3-ironicclient' (universe)
hmm I make less than $25/hr in warehouse... thanks for depressing me
lol...j/k
I have long term plans for mastering bash, then python, then SQL, then LAMP and then selling software at $250K per app. Right now I'm still on bash step though...hehe
Yes Serge urged me into Python two years ago... Like I said I have begun learning it... hard to morph from procedural language programming to Object Orientated Python Programing though....
My laptop is running Ubuntu. All of the applications that I have seen to capture from the webcam produce images that have been passed through brightness, hue and contrast adjustments. Is it possible to get the absolutely raw data from the webcam, that has not been processed at all? DSLRs produce ...
@WinEunuuchs2Unix there's also a difference between when you should use procedural and when you should use object oriented. specifically when you have mandatory 100% test coverage. writing unit tests for OO code is a pita.
@WinEunuuchs2Unix because you have to set up a class and you can't just mock and patch if you do it OO. if you do it procedurally, you know ins and outs immediately.
I got in to trouble because my test code was as large as my production code, because unit tests turned in to integration tests.
Some coworkers liked my tests because they actually tested functionality and didn't just light up the code coverage board, which was the requirement.
That is, lighting up the code coverage board was the requirement. The tests didn't have to do anything, but some people liked my tests because they actually tested things.
