I think this answer should be deleted because there are complaints it doesn't work properly and I think it's wrong too: askubuntu.com/questions/119080/…
The only thing different so far is the number of reviews in the orange box when from 5 or 6 to 300 and answers that have been deleted show up in purple shade.
Zalgo is a being that could best be described as a "horror," a creature of utmost terror. He is known as "He Who Waits Behind the Wall" and the "Nezperdian Hivemind" in some circles. He is an eyeless abomination with seven mouths.
Wasn't seven tongues and 10 horns the demon in Revelations from the Bible?
Maybe it was seven heads and 10 horns shrugs
I think I might have to install LAMP to find new problems to solve... Can't install Ubuntu 17.04 anymore since Unity is dead, now have to wait for 18.04.

Well I kind of petitioned against Blackhawks as making Indians look dangerous to white people and limiting their career paths as a consequence... so NO.
There are mostly intelligent people in this room and I say again we can accomplish anything we want once we have the facts to base decisions on. Too much "news" is emotional BS.
cutting your finger off, though, you can survive with medical attention. Slitting your wrist like mine was almost slit, the way it was against my arm, I would have died if I had slipped even a little
I could probably roll dovecot in IMAP on a 'test' section of a network, in order to allow testsuites to 'test'. And then deny all other IMAP user attempts, but... eh.
Meanwhile I need a new bash project.... put every file on Ubuntu (all 430,000 of them?) into a scroll box and allow comments to be entered or google each one and provide a link?
Hi, sometimes my laptop boots with wrong openbox keybindings, I see it from ps ax | grep openbox which shows openbox --config-file /home/caub/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml --saved-config-cache .... when there's the saved config cache it's buggy, how to avoid this please?
Ok, Now hit by bug #1655842, I'm left two choice. 1) Upgrading the kernel to 4.4.0-63 about which several persons says that fixed the bug (There are some reports that say it didn't). 2) Upgrading kde-workspace from kubuntu-backports ppa (which kubuntu people recommend). I am thinking this because that bug only happens in my system with KDE.

I did something stupid. At least I learn a lot when I break something.
I ran ClamAV. It kept on coming with PUA (potentially unwanted application). I read online that this might mean you have a rootkit.
I downloaded and ran rkhunter. It said that my python folder was suspicious.

I'm working with *.jar files, as far as I understand it's an archive format I can manipulate with standard tools like zip or unzip commands.
I often need to replace a file already compressed. So far I unzip, delete the old file, move the new one at the good place (it's a source archive, so it's ...
I'm using Ubuntu workstation (14.04), using openldap for authenication. The /etc/nsswitch.conf files on these look like this, so that to get a host it should try files, then ldap and then go on to check DNS

@Sinoosh You are using the input file as the output file. The > file.txt empties the file, so tail file.txt is now being run on an empty file and outputs nothing.
You want something like tail file.txt > newfile && mv newfile file.txt if you want your file.txt to only have the last 10 lines.
Commands are run right-to-left, so when you say command file > file, the > file is run first and that empties the file. You then run command file (tail file.txt in your example) but that runs on a file that has already been emptied.
> Note that the order of redirections is significant. For example, the command
ls > dirlist 2>&1 directs both standard output (file descriptor 1) and standard error (file descriptor 2) to the file dirlist, while the command
ls 2>&1 > dirlist
directs only the standard output to file dirlist, because the standard error was made a copy of the standard output before the standard output was redirected to dirlist.
If several redirections are used together, does changing their order make difference?
How shall one understand the meaning of their order? Is the chained channel of redirections built as reading the redirections from left to right, or from right to left?
For example
command 2>&1 > somefile

Need some help in getting the RX drop counter incremented in Linux ethernet interface (ifconfig RX dropped: should increment).
I tried the following things:
Disable the Ipv6 on the system and sending Ipv6 packet.
High Ping (200 ms)
How else can I increment the RX dropped counter?
Update on my [bug 1655842](bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1655842/), it seems the problem was with the graphics driver I installed from oibaf-graphics ppa. I did ppa-purge last night and updated kernel this morning. The bug was gone with the newer kernel and with older kernel too!
@Alex there's nothing wrong with your command. Your file is probably not what you think it is. For example in 1 ;2, the first ;-defined field is not 1, it's 1and a space. Show us an example of your input file and we should be able to help.

I was able to install FreeRDP on Ubuntu 14.04 without a problem and made a note of the installation instructions. However, I am not trying to install the same thing on 16.04 and I get errors:

sorry. I'm working with ubuntu on a virtual machine using VirtualBox. I'm installing the guest additions in order to enable copying from one system to the other
Well yes, because it will ignore spaces. But here you are using a basic command line tool and it has no way of knowing that you want to treat one character differently. A space is just a character, no different than any other.
But it depends on how you are saving the file, probably.
I can't help you unless you show me i) the exact command you run and ii) the exact input file. The commands are working fine and doing what you told them to do. It's your file that's strange. Post a question on the main site, include the file or an example of it and the command that fails.
Hey, I have an Ubuntu host and a Windows 7 guest. How do I go about sharing files? This page is not really explaining well, and all examples I find on the internet is with Windows host and Ubuntu guest.
