@ByteCommander I see from your profile you play chess. Take a look at Chesstime for the smart phone and tablet. If you're up for a game start one with ApolloTheThird.
I noticed from your profile. I'll study what that is about. Chesstime is multiplayer. It's much different from any chess application I have ever seen. It's unfortunate that there isn't a PC version. But I believe if you checked that particular program out, it might add a dimension to your chess experience.
Maybe there are others, but it's the only program I know where you can make a move at your leisure... when it's convenient. I usually have between 5 an 8 games going at the same time. I make moves during breaks.
@L.D.James lichess works from your browser - either as guest or after signing up with your email. And it's an open source site. It does not only support standard chess in various timings (from unlimited or days per move to half a minute games) but also chess variants like Atomic Chess, Antichess, King Of The Hill, etc.
However, I'm not a correspondence player. I'm far too impatient to wait minutes or even longer for a move. I mostly play Blitz timings with 3-5 minutes per side and game.
Well, I just failed to do an upgrade to 16.10 because apparently the one kernel in /boot is too much for it as that directory's capacity is too small. What on earth do I do?
My exact question is: if I ask yum to install package x and y, but package y does not exist, will it install package x still? I know apt will error out before anything is installed.
I was helping out someone at school earlier with their linux homework and it seemed yum installed kde-desktop for him and then errored out about xorg-xserver, even though he asked for both at once.
@Seth I get what you're saying. APT kills is some of the list are missing, then you remove those from the list and try again. I asked another tech here with me, and he can't remember either if it will install x and not y or if it will just fail.
@Serg something simple should do the trick. yum install lynx idonotexist. I just need to know if it installs lynx and then tells you idonotexist does not exist, or if it errors out without installing anything (like apt does)

When I get to the latter part of step 3 (desktop integration), I get the following error:

I dunno why it isn't listed. I may be the only one! Sort of a Typhoid Mary thing.

Broadcom are pretty straightforward these days. Usually problems are mis-configuration, like setting Network Manager to ad-hoc when you really want to be infra, etc., or, the wrong driver.
I'm new to Ubuntu. While exploring I set my default directory for the terminal to something other than the original green username@something. How can I get the terminal to look the same way as when I first installed it, with the green text and proper directory and have it stay like that for each ...
Huh. According to GRC's Shields Up! port scanner my router is replying to ICMP traffic, although I explicitly set it up to drop ICMP traffic, and when I ping my router from a remote VM I get time outs...
any tips on where to keep the LKS passphrase? I've been postponing getting it forever because I don't know where to keep it, it would be quite stupid to keep it on a file :p
Well, I haven't started on this year's display yet. It's a little early to be putting up the Christmas tree :D I bought some NEMA 1-15P plugs at Rona the other day.
(You'd be amazed at how hard those are to get for a decent price.)
