@Braiam But having a clue about the poster's history lend authenticity to their suggestions often: I would be much more likely to take the advice of yourself, or a few others on Stack Exchange, bsed upon your past answers
I'm not saying they shouldn't be read and evaluated for accuracy (and I'm very new to linux, have EE degree from back in the 80's) but that the tenor and tone of the answer tend to be better from a subgroup of users. Sorry for the slow replys. I'm both making dinner and babysitting the turkey.
@Braiam I suppose the moderators have a way of clamping down on the anonymous posters should they need to. This site has been very clean, in my experience, with the single exception of a post a few days back which I believe was quickly deleted.
I have a Dell XPS 13 ultrabook which has a wifi nic, but no physical ethernet nic (wlan0, but no eth0). I need to create a virtual adapter for using Vagrant with NFS, but am finding that the typical ifup eth0:1... fails with ignoring unknown interface eth0:1=eth0:1. I also tried creating a virt...
No sorry I am not very good at forum type things any more, so I don't always post the right link. The link I should have posted would be to the question (not the answer in the review cue)
@Seth That answer seemed to be a possible solution (clear .cache folder), but it wasn't a good one, as the person answer the question was using their .cache in a RAM disk, which caused their system to crash when flash was used...
The disk would fill up and also fill up their RAM whenever they ran anything with flash involved..
(At least that is how I am reading it)
Interesting, but not sure if it is an answer, as OP did not say anything about a RAM disk at all
Well.. in my case when I was one... I was always on forums or games or researching random things. For other people it is like music, or videos movies.. etc.
I still am attached to an online life, but I am not like I used to be
Love this site though. Keeps me interested, learning, helping people, and is sociable in some ways too.
Feel free to answer/not answer whatever. I am just wasting time right now.
Didn't mean you had no life :)
Being a mod must take up some time though. I remember I had to schedule time online and off, almost became like a job. But I could see this actually help with job prospects, so it's not as much of a waste as what I was doing (at all).
I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop I tried to install Pantheon desktop enviroment because I tried it on the elementary os before and I liked it but the last version of elementary os is depended on a Ubuntu 12.04 and I wanted to use Ubuntu 14.04. I searched how to install it and I installe...
If you know any other solution for changing background to be the same as your login wallpaper, this where you choose user and log in.
I am the only user on my laptop, and I like the fact that my desktop have the same wallpapers in these two places.

@MarcinGorski you need to add the version of ubuntu you are using. Mention in your question exactly what you've tried and any questions you have referenced in your investigations. For example, this - askubuntu.com/questions/455849/…
was downloading some updates like almost every day and a message about some files to remove or replace I think (I'm not sure) that I've accepted to replace without knowing I confess what is it about, I had to restart PC to Windows 7 for something and forgetting that downloads and installations on...
Similar to the new @user feature, I am interested in a feature wherein if I preface a comment to one of my own posts with "@Downvoters", a notification would be sent to all users that downvoted that post.
This is similar to this previous request.
I tried out and used the existing answer to Pairing Ouya Controller with Ubuntu - it worked and I did my best to improve it a bit.
Since then I've realized that the original poster actually did answer their own question, it's just difficult to read. And that answer is easier.
Please move this b...
I was able to limit python process to use only 50% CPU with the following
cpulimit -l 50 -e python
but when I tried to do the same for Node, and it is not able to detect the process at all. Does anyone know? In the ps aux, I can see node, so I am not sure what is missing

I'm a newbie linux user. I have a laptop ThinkPad Edge E430, with Xubuntu 12.04.4 LTS installed on it. I'm using wicd to manage my networks. My wired network works just fine, but I can't detect any wireless network ("no wireless networks found") although I've checked that there were several wirel...
@fossfreedom yeah, the wording has me a bit preoccupated: "HP is requesting that you immediately discontinue use of the subject AC power cords by removing it from the wall outlet"
Combine that with the 16 bit PCs people have made in Minecraft, figure out a way to display something and add a way to input data, You've got yourself a flipping Atari 5120ST!
For any VI user out there, I am having a bit of a discussion in the need of use of vi when doing basic editing, so here is a question I arrived on the discussion: askubuntu.com/questions/516815/…
@JorgeCastro @Mateo @hbdgaf What do you think of this message asking about use of the Ubuntu trademark for local clothing printing for myself?
I've always wanted to have Ubuntu merchandise, and the prices for the products themselves are very much affordable. However, the issue is Shipping. I'm from the United States and since the shipping is coming air-mail from the UK to the US, the shipping has always (for me at least) at least doubled the cost of the purchase.
For example, a Sub-Total of £10.25 (an Ubuntu t-shirt) is $17.00 US Dollar USD; affordable and reasonable for a t-shirt. However, that £10.25 has a £20.50 shipping fee, or $35.00 USD. That over triples the cost, which, for me, isn't affordable (the total being $52 USD.)
@RPiAwesomeness that will be a violation... thing is... it will be such a small scale nobody will going to bother you. Unless you go widely public and commercial you'll be breaking the law but nobody cares ;)
Would it be possible to add a little "Bug Tracker" module to questions?
For example, posting something like <bug>ubuntu:linux:123456</bug> would show BRIEF information about Launchpad Bug 123456 from the Ubuntu Project, Linux package. Alternatively, the URL to the bugreport can be used.

so, that and stress using the t-shirt for ubuntu advocacy, since this is in the policy "We share access rights owned by Canonical with the Ubuntu community for the purposes of discussion, development and advocacy." can't say you will have success, but good luck @RPiAwesomeness
FYI - The last of the swag backlog we've been hammering at goes out today, so if you're owed something, it's out of the warehouse this week. Apologies, technical difficulties and such, I think we've got it back to normal.
