Q: Drives not receiving UUID after moving SATA ports

LukaszI have a personal Ubuntu server with nine drives: SSD for OS four 4TB drives for one BTRFS raid10 array four 8TB drives for another BTRFS raid10 array I decided to clean up the cabling today and moved some drives to different SATA ports. This appears to have been my undoing. System now start...

Q: Can't connect to any network on ubuntu

xD. HeyI had this ubuntu OS pre-installed with the windows 10 in my laptop. I can't connect to any wi-fi or ethernet(or any network, for that matter) on the Ubuntu. Everything works fine on the Windows, though(50mbps isn't really bad for me). Moreover, there's this 'Windows' folder/icon (mostly folder)...

I need help from reviewers to reopen this question which was closed as off topic, not about Ubuntu, but I solved it by interpreting it as a software recommendation question.

Q: When is user is deleted are "accepts" also affected?

DK BoseWhen a user is deleted are "accepts" by this user also affected? In other words, will the answer now not be shown as accepted? In one example I came across, it appears that at least the "accepted" tick mark remains. But that's just the one example and it's not clear whether the user was removed ...

 
@AskUbuntuMeta @DKBose good question... feel free to revert if you don't like the way I've reworded it

@Zanna it reads better after your edit, thanks!

@Kulfy you missed all the fun?
 
I guess so. Yesterday I travelled back to my college and got tired and slept early :/

@terdon that will get limited upvotes. Bad upvote - time spent ratio :+
 
@terdon nothing wrong with that, it’s a great answer! I assumed interactive non-login shell, but who knows…
 
1:34 PM
@Terrance I can't remember a single occasion ever that I downvoted without a comment. I believe a downvote without is pretty useless, unless the issue is so obvious you don't need to explain.
I have even seen pretty good answers, removed by the user for getting (only) one or more downvotes. Alrhough the voting system works in average, it doesn't mean individual cases can be totally wrong. A comment makes it possible for other users to make their own judgement (and decide they agree with the downvote or not).
 
2:05 PM
@Rinzwind well, yes, of course. But those are the ones it's actually fun to answer.
@dessert yeah, and that's probably a safe assumption. I would change the regex to make nly find whole words and dots with spaces though.
 
2:36 PM
That competing answer from bashy mcbashface though.
 
2:53 PM
@JacobVlijm That is my feelings exactly! I wasn't saying here to get rid of the downvotes, but maybe some sort of message when you click it stating to consider leaving a comment but then allowing you to downvote anyway.
 
3:22 PM
@terdon changed to '\s(\.|source)\s' – this also matches a line # this is my source here:, but it’s hard to make it really return commands only ;)
 
3:40 PM
@dessert make it \s* so it can catch lines where the dot is the first character. And yeah, comments complicate things.

Q: cat and xargs with scp : No such file or directory

NaiveI'm trying to copy files from a remote machine to my local machine: resource.txt /path/dir/file1.txt /path/dir/file2.txt /path/dir/file3.txt cat resource.txt | xargs -I F scp <user@ip>:F /localpath/dir/ I'm getting something like this : No such file or directoryir/file1.txt What could be t...

 
@terdon but then it matches test. again!
how about '(^\s*|\s)(\.|source)\s'
 
Yeah, sorry. But (^|\s) should work. Or just us one of the ones in my answer, I've tested those :)
Currently waiting to board a plane, so I can't really test now.
@RobotHumans yeah. That feeling when you spend 20 minutes trying to roll your own and it turns out there was an app for that after all! :)

I just love history expansion: askubuntu.com/a/1146346/507051
Which good tool overwrites an input file without asking? Am I the only one who finds that a horrible behaviour?
They probably didn’t think of someone converting from one format to the very same, but as this question shows this actually serves a purpose. Well, a GUI program’s puny CLI tool…
 
4:21 PM
IMO that kind of history expansion is waaay to complex for the average user
better to just write it out, or use shell variables
then you can have your fancy hist expansion as alternative at the end
but maybe that's just me... /shrug
 
@ByteCommander it’s not meant to be changed in any way, and I hope I made that pretty clear in the answer
 
The user doesn't have to edit that part, but it would still be good if they at least understand what happens
and I could see how one might easily break that if they try to modify the command in other ways or embed it in a script or loop time it or anything else
 
4:36 PM
@ByteCommander ok, you convinced me :)

Q: Why can't I right-click + copy using the mouse in some regions of marked text in the terminal?

ShuzhengBash: Why can't I right-click + copy using the mouse in some regions of marked text in the terminal? I often have issues with copying text using the mouse in terminal (bash) using Ubuntu. More specifically, only some regions of the marked text make it possible to right-click + copy. I guess eve...

Q: shutdown at specific date

HdM UploadI know that you can schedule a shutdown for a specific time via shutdown -h 21:45 and that you shouldn't use crontabs for such things because of their repetitive nature. How can I schedule a shutdown for a specific date like 31st of August at 20:00pm?

@OvieTrix I don't see ip configured, only net (/24) however I'm drunked, and can't help
And you try to connect from within that net

Q: Dual Boot Problem

NullPointerMy laptop has Windows 10 installed, I bought a SSD and installed Ubuntu on it. I want to start Ubuntu when the external SSD is plugged in and start Windows 10 otherwise. I tried changing the boot order from the BIOS Menu so the external SSD boots first, the problem is that if I change the order ...

 
11:57 PM
At better time I can solve this problem. Try to check route on host os, and check it have highest metric to route to that sub net, then do it in VM, it must have this as default route.
