@Terrance Don't just give the link, write a short answer with the workaround, that's useful information for AU! Of course it's you who should have the rep.
I intend to create a dualboot persistent usb. I'd like to try creating a USB where I can boot macOS High Sierra and WIndows 10. From what I understand of LVM, I can create 2 VG, 1 APFS and 1 NTFS. This would allow me to boot into Windows10 on a PC and Windows10/macOS on a Mac. I know workarounds ...
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy Regarding this: The only other reason i could think of might be the many offspring's from base Debian which would make it difficult for apt-get to know them all and their respective correct sources.list lines. so they skipped to include such functionality.
In 32 bit linux, make skype a "higher" version:
sudo sed -i 's/4.3.0.37/8.3.0.37/' /usr/bin/skype
It replaces the version number in the binary for a higher one to work around the forced incompatibility.
Make sure that you have the same version 4.3.0.37 by calling skype --version or update the com...
@Videonauth Interesting, that sounds very reasonable! I feel like this has to be documented anywhere, where does EliahKagan and Co. take all his knowledge?
@Videonauth Could you do that please? I will look biased as the accepted answer is from me…
I'd rather advise the use of a hex editor instead of sed as this could go horribly wrong. And please if you stick to this answer use -i.bak so at least a backup of the file is made before the change. — Videonauth1 min ago
Of course you can preserve /home in an Ubuntu reinstall and you're done, but in this case Ubuntu is being installed over Mint, not over Ubuntu. I don't know if it would work that way, because I've never tried it. — karel5 hours ago
@karel Is it in installer? and even if the /home is under root partition? I haven't seen such in any versions yet!
@Anwar Your comment led me to a solution to the question: askubuntu.com/questions/56051/… Someone's going to answer that question for sure unless somebody dupes it to that link and I can't CV it because I've already retracted my CV at that question.
Anybody please mark this as a duplicate of that – OP said he tried it, but after a comment war it turns out the second answer is exactly what he needs. sigh Unfortunately I already used my CV and retracted it later…
I'm attempting to write a bash script that switches between workspaces with some dialog prompts along the way. I'm running Ubuntu 17-04 with Budgie remix.
When using wmctrl or zenity separately, they both work fine. Put them together however and budgie window manager crashes with a segmentation ...
@dessert I already CVed wrong and then the OP edited the question and I retracted it, so yes I need a volunteer to CV that question because I can't CV it.
I am trying to run nodejs from a jailed system using chroot.
This is where I wanted my jail [mnt/mylinux] :
bash and all its dependencies [found using ldd] are copied to correct folders in jail.
I copied nodejs in bin folder as such:
Then I also copied all dependency required for node [using ...
I wanted to enable two factor authentication on my Ubuntu PC. The authentication (after adding the google authenticator pam plugin) is working on ssh and in the terminal too. BUT if I lock the screen and want log back in, it doesn't let me in (tried first with the code and first with the password...
I was trying to create bootable USB of Ubuntu 17.04. First, I erased everything from the pen drive and then started to copy using sudo dd if=path_to_ubuntu_image of=/dev/rdisk2 but it is taking around 5 hrs to complete the process. I read previous answers about speeding up it using rdisk instead ...
> store saves the current driver state for the selected soundcard to the configuration file.
maybe not quite right :P
equivalent:
alsactl restore
> restore loads driver state for the selected soundcard from the configuration file. If restoring fails (eventu‐ ally partly), the init action is called.
