@CodeX that's why smart people use not only Tor but also VPN and other anonimization tools
@JacobVlijm Concerning the desktop sorting question (askubuntu.com/q/796802/295286) I think we can safely assume that we can do two lists, first dirs then files, splice those together into one list , and loop over the items while changing their metadata
you guys know any good gpg tutorials? I'm new to asymmetric encrypting and key validation, and haven't yet found a beginner friendly tutorial about it :/
@ThomasW. Please help me to add a user with write privileges to this chat room about his question: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/42156/…. Using the Add user dialog I can't add this user who has 11 reputation to his own chat room.
I just readed tons of stuff about gpg, sha256sum check, up to the point of understanding it all and downloading a verified program, and I downloaded the wrong architeture!
@edwinksl, now that's some insteresting stuff! I didn't know about the 64bit using that much memory, maybe that's why they installed the 32bit version afterall
@edwinksl I keep it mostly on separate drive though . Most of the clutter comes from me making drafts of scripts or text files for testing scripts or bunch of other things
@Zacharee1 do what ? Clean up my home dir ? Because it's a mess of test files, actually useful files, and drafts of scripts some of which are finished or not
OP seems to suggest that Ubuntu "allowed" Windows to have bash, implying that's bad or something. Personally I think it's better for sysadmins to finally get a better shell. Even though I like Cygwin, nothing beats the real thing
@Videonauth I don't fully understand Collatz sequence, so probably it's pointless to ask me for review. Syntactically I don't see anything wrong with the code itself , but I am not sure about the approach , whether it's good or not
I do run Ubuntu 14.4 on an Server with a Desktop on it for the user, that works as well on the server. Since there was a faulty drive in the Raid, I had to reset all for the efiboot and grub, as the Bootimage did stay on the killed Harddrive. So far after doing that all the system was back workin...
DESCRIPTION
Run COMMAND with an adjusted niceness, which affects process scheduling. With no COMMAND, print the current
niceness. Niceness values range from -20 (most favorable to the process) to 19 (least favorable to the
process).
if you don't want CPU to spend too much time on your process, then 19
well, yeah, there's stdout output , so yeah, there will be I/O . . . .but that's probably not the issue, the issue that causes lag is the loop without delay
@NathanOsman well, compiled languages have limits, though, and even if we try to implement something like that in C, it would need this ton of stack manipulation
Like windows made a huge mess with win 8 and had to change the way start look.
the launcher bar of ubunto system is huge; like donald trump's head and its hidious. its current taking about 7.5% of my total screen.
Can developer not learn from mistake?
Guacamole (Spanish: [wakaˈmole]; or [ɡwakaˈmole]; can informally be referred to as "guac" in North America ) is an avocado-based dip or salad first created by the Aztecs in what is now Mexico. In addition to its use in modern Mexican cuisine, it has also become part of American cuisine as a dip, condiment and salad ingredient.
== Etymology and pronunciation ==
The name comes from an Aztec dialect via Nahuatl āhuacamolli [aːwakaˈmolːi], which literally translates to "avocado sauce", from āhuacatl [aːˈwakat͡ɬ] ("avocado") + molli [ˈmolːi] ("sauce", literally "concoction"). In Mexican Spanish, it...
@JacobVlijm also , just a suggestion, make the scriipt work with one monitor first, but consider that potentially users might have dual screen with different sizes. You could probably use xprop -root or xwininfo -root for that with subprocess.Popen()
OK I'm out for now , have fun guys. I need to take care of this translation before the sun rises
I should have saved that comment for the more vetted AU users
Well, it's basically what I got told last week
Right now, I think I'm going to keep it there as it's what I'd tell them. If @Zanna and @JacobVlijm really want it gone, I'll make a coffee and remove my comment.
@grooveplex yeah, I removed it since @JacobVlijm's comment said the same thing and in a more friendly manner. Not that yours was horrible or anything, it's just that Jacob said it better and there's no point in having 2 comments for the same thing.
"I do it all the time! [...] I documented that on Super User by asking and answering my own question. Now, others can benefit from my misfortune -- and best of all, I got new even better answers beyond what I offered! Overall, a huge win all around."
I just switched to Cinnamon on LM18 after playing around with Mate. Anyway, I'm wondering if there are any Window Managers that can work underneath Cinnamon much like Openbox-Gnome-Session. Unless I haven't found the place to change it, I can't find a way to set Cinnamon to not open all new windo...
exactly @Serg I wrote a lovely pseudocode algorithm to mark one of the 3 mark maths questions... that took me about one hour... instead i have to spend 8 hours marking 1200 versions of it myself
That's not the worst part though . The worst part is that it's in Russian, and i'd rather do English to Chinese, than Russian to Chinese translation any day
Actually, that's what I should have done first. Translate the text to English, then throw it into Google Translate and fix up the rest , but then again I am the stupid and honest guy who sacrifices sleep for helping friends . . . .and then regret it over and over for years
I can't save changes after editing
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
Text before editing:
auto lo
iface lo inet ...
Edited to:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
What key combination or sequence must I press to save this?
yeah, we've all been there. Generating totally random data by trying to quit vim ,lol
Holly shiz !!! Why i didn't do this earlier. Translating and simplifying Russian text to English, then throwing it into Google Translate saves so much time !
@jokerdino did you by any chance remove the comment on this? askubuntu.com/a/796937/72216 or @terdon why remove a comment to clear out a misread (other) comment?
