@DavidCole-GrammarPolice if the output of the script is too fast, maybe xterm is closing before you can read it, try running it from a bash as "sh -p script" to see if there is any output
I need to test something, can someone post a link please and then delete it in a few seconds? Also, would be helpful if nobody commented until the message is deleted and my test is complete.

Ok, the same annoying bug still remains in Firefox! :D
If I go over the link with my cursor and then the link is removed the little thing which shows the URL in the bottom left corner of my screen remains until I hover over another link.
clean
clean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files.
It removes everything but the lock file from
/var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/.
autoclean (and the auto-clean alias since 1.1)
Like clean, autoclean clears out the local repository of retrieved
package files. The difference is that it only removes package files
that can no longer be downloaded, and are largely useless. This
We just created a cluster of 12 nodes and wanted to have OpenVPN for many of the communications need to be 100% secure between each computer (we do not have access to a 100% secure/private environment so we have to have encryption between computers.)
So we have a setup that looks like this:
...
david@david-desktop:~$ sh -p /home/david/UpdateScript.sh W: chmod 0700 of directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial failed - SetupAPTPartialDirectory (1: Operation not permitted) E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches (13: Permission denied) W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches (13: Permission denied)
@DavidCole-GrammarPolice it's not about what the script does, sudo was created as a security feature to handle permissions and avoid unecessary root escalation. This is a bad idea in my opinion. But since you want to do it anyways, it's fine by me. Are you calling the script as I said? sh -p /home/david/UpdateScript.sh? Does the output of ls -l /home/david/UpdateScript.sh have srwxr-xr-x? Did you remove all sudo calls from the script?
you don't need sudo on your desktop file if the permissions are set right. And before trying to call it from desktop try to run it from bash as I said sh -p /home/david/UpdateScript.sh. If it works without asking for a password, then you go back to the .desktop file
damn, I can't figure what is going wrong with the indicator program! -.-
and the libappindicator documentation is not really the most detailed one

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice I made a quick search here, and apparently linux ignores suid root interpreted executables for security reasons. No workaround on this except patching a kernel. If you know C or some other compilable language you could make a program that called those commands and then set it as suid. Here is the answer I found unix.stackexchange.com/questions/364/…. I didn't read the full answer yet but the first paragraph says it
@edwinksl btw apparently you can't fix /etc perms the way we thought, because sudoers file can't be read... I edited my answer, you have to fix it in recovery. I should test it really hehe
@Zanna lol, well at least their system is already broken. I told someone to downgrade xorg on 16.04 and I haven't seen anything saying whether it works or not
I've been trying to track a bug, posted a question on SO, found another thing being done wrong, tested a million things to find out the bug was such a stupid thing
I was calling Gtk routines before Gtk_init without realizing it :D
"Warning. Yuor hard drive will be deleted if you close this page. You have a virus. Please call technical support now. Please call the toll-free number on your screen, then press 1 to speak with an agent to stop this process. Hard drive safely delete begins in five minutes."
haha I'm still working on my auto reviewing, I have: First post - skip Suggested edit - approve Late Answer - not an answer Low Quality Post - recommend deletion Reopen votes - leave closed
but for Close Votes I can't decide between "unclear what you're asking" and "dupe "how do I install Ubuntu?""
