Q: Ubuntu MATE 16.04 freezes seconds after boot, stuck at login screen

AalokBackground Two weeks ago, I was on the kernel 4.13.0-36, and a routine update installed 4.13.0-37 and 4.13.0-38 automatically. After that, I was unsuccessful in getting my laptop to boot beyond the login screen (link to bug). I fixed (temporarily solved) it by removing -37, -38, and apt-mark ho...

As I'm rather new to Ubuntu - how long should I let 18.04 sit for before I start updating 16.04 systems that I expect to be stable?
Have a few boxen at home and at work that runs current LTS, and mostly mundane services (squid, DHCP, dns and so on)

I don't care too much about upgrade paths
each machine runs fairly trivial services, and should be trivial do apt-get dist-upgrade

sigh.
ubuntu 18 does not let me right-click anywhere but on the launcher (and there I need to hold it for 2 seconds)

Q: Tag synonym request [fc] -> [history]

Sergiy KolodyazhnyyConsider the description for history: The history command can be used to retrieve commands you have previously typed in a shell. However, fc and related variables FCEDIT and HISTSIZE exist in bash. There's no specific shell mentioned (which arguably might be implied to be bash), but fc is P...

@Seth - I was talking about satellite reign - a game - for a little. They just put it on the humble store for $5 humblebundle.com/store/satellite-reign
Seth
Seth
@RobotHumans hey that's cool. Is it multiplayer?
RobotHumans
RobotHumans
@Seth It didn't used to be and the questionable version I was using I didn't try it out, for obvious reasons.
It has a multiplayer button though.
Seth
Seth
Ok. I'll have to read the description.

"
Co-Op Multiplayer
Play the entirety of Satellite Reign with your friends in co-op multiplayer. Up to four players can each control their own agent, opening up a whole new level of strategic and co-ordinated play."

Seth
haha, just read that. Thanks!
Looks fun.

I'll have to look at my accounts..

I just thought you might be interested, because you seemed to think it was neat - and $5 is super cheap.

@RobotHumans Development seems to be pretty dead
RobotHumans
RobotHumans
@Seth It's super old, like 2015 - built on Unity. Not without bugs. Still crazy fun to play.
My only complaint is that all mission completion doesn't reset the mission board, leave you with equipment/skills and ramp the difficulty (although it does have a difficulty ramping system). When you get to the end-game, you're pretty much unstoppable unless you REALLY mess up.
I'll probably play it through 4 times or so editing save files to turn missions back on. At 40 or so hours for a playthrough and $5 cost, that's like 2 cents an hour or so.
I'ld go to the movie theater if I could do it on a nickel... Just sayin'.
Seth
Seth
@RobotHumans Thanks for the input :)
RobotHumans
RobotHumans
np. If you wind up getting it lmk. We might be able to do multiplayer sometime. I have my end-game save, and it's pretty maxed. Any skill and kit you want sort of thing.

RobotHumans

it was fox evidently that did the reboot, but the networks capitalize off of each other's reboots.
take syfy and the 3 days per week 12 hour marathons of futurama. that didn't used to be their franchise.

ugh SyFy

yes, yes I did

wait wtf
this ad for Entyvio says it relieves digestion issues, but at the risk of PML, a viral and fatal brain disease?
