[accent] is the accent character, which I don't know how to escape in code-blocks. So the error is the attempt of trying to execute the returned string "a x"...hence "a: command not found"
@Ademan I made this mistake like six times today. I've also been learning XYplorer script, in which assignment is indeed with $var = ... Thank you.
By the way, I don't have enough rep to do anything on askubuntu, but askubuntu.com/questions/545559/… is not a duplicate, if anyone is able to flag it as not-duplicate or something. People seem to confuse wacom-style tablets ("graphics tablet") with ipad style tablets a lot.
@aliteralmind Odd, I was going to recommend echo -e, which also works for me
GNU bash, version 4.3.11(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
Are you ssh-ed into another machine, or in a screen or tmux session? Something that might make your terminal setup a bit different? (Not to suggest it wouldn't work in screen or tmux, just searching for variables)
@Mateo_ I understand the problem. I'm debugging a function that returns a value with echos. The return value is the last echo. So when I add other echos before it, they're just concatenated onto the return variable, without newlines.
dpaste.com/1NXS41M So I'm curious how to concatenate newlines onto a variable, and also, how do you debug a function that returns a value? echo to a file?
So in the output I think I'm looking at debugging lines followed by the return value, but I'm really looking at a long return value. This was a brain buster, and I only just figured out the problem!
@aliteralmind bash's handling of variables make me angry. Are you on IRC? the #bash channel on irc.freenode.net is super helpful and knowledgeable (though there are a few snarky individuals)
I'm in a bash crash course today.
This is a bash function that returns a value, via echo:
#!/bin/bash
get_hello_name() {
echo 'Hello $1!'
}
msg=$(get_hello_name "x")
echo $msg
Output:
4$ bash ./initial_script5.sh
Hello $1!
I then incorrectly thought that the last echo was returned (I com...
@NathanOsman You defs win with VBScript though. It was useful years ago before powershell for admin tasks though. Now it just needs to die a fiery death.
@JorgeCastro My schedule is certainly interesting... it's hard to predict too far into the future. I was working for an ad company up until about three months ago. I've been doing odd jobs since then.
@DoorHandle The problem with trying to pull something like that at an event where there are a dozen real passports is your fake has to be perfect or you're going to prison for 10 years. More if they can hook drugs or terrorism on top.
And it's in the interest of the signer to be thorough as it's their reputation that's on the line.
I had Ubuntu and Windows installed in dual boot. I wanted to remove Ubuntu and, following suggestions online, I eliminated Ubuntu partitions. When I restarted PC I got this on black screen:

In my project, I need a list with all connected usb drives and some data about(name, format, size, label, if it is mounted or not, where is mounted)
All this data is parsed by a php script then stored into a database;
So far, I'm using blkid -c /dev/null to get drive location and format; then, u...
@Lucio - nice one. Those green onions are REALLY coarsely chopped, and that knife was either REALLY sharp or those carrots really soft. It was hilarious though.
I agree. I'm not arguing that bit. It just seems like +600 vs +200 makes it a little obvious and new users might look for the check. I get it, but someone might not.
@jrg I like SF. Nevada can be nice. I went the other direction. Never tried the Oregon thing. Cheap cost of living and just sort of doing my own thing is my deal... so we'll see if it works. Life is just a test case for the way you approach it.
@hbdgaf Yup yup. I really just want to get out of Cleveland, and preferably somewhere thats reasonable 2nd amendment friendly... rules out anything in Cali though. :\
@Fabby that caveat is precisely why I won't. Means losing my US citizenship. While that might mean nothing here in the US, it still means something outside of it.
Besides, "Doing a Snowden" isn't my idea of fun.
I like being able to talk to my family, thank you very much.
(Besides, Ask Ubuntu would get shut down in a heartbeat if I did that. No thanks.)
I am installing Ubuntu and am stuck at one window that is called Installation type:

I want to install Ubuntu on the 3rd one - 15 GB EXT4.
