@Seth I am 99% sure that's Greece. Both the cobbles and the license plates fit. And, it's the country that has given us such gems as the following case of laying new asphalt but not bothering to warn people not to park:
The kind of government we have is basically a bunch of clueless, ideologue morons, running around like their heads were cut off, with one finger in our pockets and the other up their collective rectums.
GNOME Shell is, ultimately, just one component in the GNOME DE. I can use it without many of the other trappings of GNOME, like GDM or Nautilus. It seems very weird that gnome-panel - a thing of distant past - is an independent tag, yet, gnome-shell is a synonym to gnome. By whatever logic that m...
@cl-netbox awesome, thanks for the vote. I'd love it if more folks would upvote the question too... how can I improve it (the OP hasn't been around for a long time, so I feel like I can edit it as I like)
There is hardly any hits on google except for one from a "security labs". The backdoor is described as ...

BOXY!
this might be a 1st ^^^ I hope he has that backdoor. would be my 1st actual backdoor seen D:
@Zanna Are you sure? The user apparently works on Canonical's kernel team.
Please don't post unsubstantiated claims as answers. You are using very specific dates so, presumably, you must have a reference for this. Can you include it in your answer? If not, this will likely be deleted since without backing evidence, it's more of a comment than an answer. (I know your profile states you're working for the kernel team but i) that might not be true, for all I know and ii) that's not obvious to people reading this answer. If you've documented this somewhere, please provide a relevant link). — terdon ♦1 min ago
@terdon The specific "as of" month was added as an edit by another user, which I approved. Should I roll it back? To me, "as of" does not mean "starting as of." The post originally said "at present."
That as my interpretation as well. Do you think the phrasing lends itself to being interpreted as, "starting as of"? I still don't really see a problem with the edit -- if the post is later edited for a different reason but not updated with news about support status, then readers will assume the information is current as of the latest edit, unless a specific "as of" date is given. I believed that was the motivation for the edit, and that's why I approved it.
@EliahKagan I rolled it back. The edit was putting words in the OP's mouth. "Only X is supported presently" does not mean and does not imply "As of today, only X is supported". For all we know, it started last year or 10 years ago, or it was always so.
@cl-netbox OK, but my point is that the ISO architecture shouldn't be related to the architecture of the EFI. So if you install from a 64bit ISO, that doesn't imply your EFI is 64bit.
@Zanna What does grub have to do with it? Aren't you booting with EFI? Or have you also installed grub?
@terdon yeah maybe - but : what is UEFI 32 bit at all ? never heard this ... all EFI based machines have a 64 bit processor and all installed systems have to be 64 bit ! :)
@terdon I now believe you are correct. I should not have approved that edit (or not without further modification). On the one hand, I regularly see "as of" used to mean that something was the case at a particular time, rather than that it began to be the case at a particular time. I believe I even see it in traditionally published, professionally copy edited works. However, it is at best ambiguous, and dictionaries seem not to even have that usage at all.
generally systems like this that only allow 32-bit UEFI are a PITA - there are a few nice devices out there that are very very difficult to make play nice with Linux and I have one of them...
@Zanna Next time, just forget about grub altogether.
@Oli Yeah, but that just tells you the architecture of the file. Zanna is claiming that her machine is using a "32bit EFI" and I don't really understand what that means.
I recently installed Arch on my laptop (Dell Precision M4500). I had just changed the hard disk so I had to partition from scratch during the installation. I chose to go for a GPT partition and also set my system to boot with UEFI.
During installation, I tried to install GRUB and failed since I...
Look at this ... which other boot loader let's you do this that easily ?
cl@cl-uw-1:~$ cat /etc/grub.d/40_custom #!/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above.

I have downloaded a sh file from a webpage. I want to copy it to another machine so I can install it there. the other machine is an imx6 tiny rex. I tried to copy/move/scp to my ubuntu machine to the other one and it seems to be ok, but as soon as I try to execute it, it does a md5 comparisson te...
I guess because the script is checking the md5sum in the first place.
But why would moving it change the sum? I assume the script is actually also checking the directory. Maybe something along the general lines of md5sum < <(pwd; cat script.sh)
Okay, but the goal seems to be to keep the script the same. The OP may not be aware of how MD5 works but this sounds like a situation where the file is getting corrupted, possibly because it is being treated as text but has binary contents.
@EliahKagan it is a rather normal method to include info from a system when you do (kernel version, mac address of the nic) to prevent copying a license.
@EliahKagan Is that possible? I mean, can simply moving/copying the file cause corruption? I mean, yes, if there is a filesystem issue, but "because it is being treated as text but has binary contents"?
@terdon From the OP's description, I'm not sure if the file was downloaded correctly in the first place. I have had MIME-type related problems downloading shell scripts that aren't really text (binary code in a here document) in a web browser. Assuming, however, that it really was originally downloaded correctly, then the most likely cause of corruption is if the OP transferred the file to the other machine using a protocol like ftp that has the ability to treat files as text.
Many ftp clients automatically use the text transfer mode based on a whitelist of file extensions. It would make sense (though break things like this) if .sh is on that whitelist for whatever ftp client the OP is using. If it's ftp. This is all conjecture.
I wouldn't expect a corrupted file to even manage to run though. I mean, there's obviously a command in the script that checks the md5sum and that seems to be executing as expected. If the file were corrupt, I would expect that to just fail.
Maybe not if the file were just truncated, so there were missing lines of the script, but yes if it were corrupted.
If it were corrupted by treating non-text incorrectly, then everything up to the beginning of what isn't text may succeed. That would presumably include the command to run md5sum on itself. For example, bytes that look like line endings may get corrupted in the binary contents of a here document, but be correctly handled for the text in the script above that point.
From my machine @terdon : Set to boot ubuntu as default (0001) cl@cl-uw-1:~$ sudo efibootmgr BootCurrent: 0001 Timeout: 1 seconds BootOrder: 0001,0002,0000 Boot0000* Fedora Boot0001* ubuntu Boot0002* UEFI OS
@Rinzwind I know you're joking but this sort of thing really pisses me off. The whole point of FOSS is so that people can do this sort of thing and calling it a ripoff, even in jest, sends a very bad message to people who don't understand how open source works.
@ThomasWard Very nice of you, also well explained for new users ... and some kind of "dark" humor shining thtrough, so upvoted ! :) Good afternoon Thomas ! :)
@cl-netbox Some disapprove of my humor. So I try and limit it as best as I can in moderator duties. Far less so on Discord and Chat, though it's till restricted to a lesser extent than it is when I'm drunk or with friends out here personally.
@Zanna You're not causing trouble in any way ... I assume that you once installed or try to install a 32 bit edition of ubuntu ... so to clean up the clutter, boot from an ubuntu installation media, mount the efi partition and remove the 32 bit GRUB entries from the ubuntu folder ... then set the 64 bit GRUB loader as default with : sudo efibootmgr -o XXXX,YYYY,ZZZZ (the first number block must be the grubx64.efi entry from the ubuntu folder. :)
@ThomasWard No Thomas you didn't ... as I already mentioned : you kindly explained everything ... and that bounty on top was a great gesture from you ! :)
@Zanna I forgot to say that if you have any questions regarding those deployment thingies or need assistance and help, please feel free to ask me anytime ! :)
@Hizqeel I am fine today ! :) Thank you very much for asking ! :) I think I wrote a really good answer today -> askubuntu.com/questions/818660/online-ubuntu-terminal-emulator/… so I'm in a good mood ! :) Now what about yourself ? How are you doing today ? Everything fine as well ? :)
@Hizqeel You mean the answer ? If yes, thank you very much for the compliment ! :) Something new ? I mean kitty ? Getting harder every day to ask you ... but it really interests me ... :)
@Hizqeel So I learned that you and @ThomasWard are fighting against each other for being the first to receive the MEAM (most evil Ask Ubuntu Member) legendary super duper diamond badge ! :D :D :D
@cl-netbox he showed us a few weeks ago a transcript from chat where he posted an "rm" command and 10 seconds later " do not execute this". And someone already did... deleting his home D:::
@Rinzwind hahaha ... LOL ... @terdon made a typo ? The other day I was blamed for setting a wrong space in a command ... shows to me one (good) thing : even terdon seems to be a human - just as in real life ... great ... I appreciate it very much ! :D
