Hi, what is the best way to go about making a question more interesting/get more views on it if it has been a while since it was asked but there are updates on the question?
@Natpot unfortunately I can’t help much, but have an upvote in the meantime – did you try a separate monitor as suggested in a comment?
the question would profit from being rewritten I think, don’t add “EDIT” sections, just edit the whole text of the question and incorporate the new information
@dessert Thank you so much regardless! Now I can upvote! As for the suggestion, I couldn't follow it, but the thing is, I don't think it is a hardware issue because it never happens randomly. It only happens during resume from suspend.
begin with the symptoms and go on explaining what you tried and how it failed
especially when there’s no answer yet there is absolutely no need in keeping anything from the question in its original state, so don’t be afraid of changing it as needed. :)
@Fabby I'll put it this way... I'm ok with "sticks and stones" being used to take power from abusers e.g. "say what you like, I have no time for your BS" but I have a big problem with it being used (by abusers and their enablers and anyone else) to dismiss pain e.g. "oh, get over it, it's just words"
I read about Cryptoloop and I wonder where can I use it?
I understand that:
Cryptoloop is a Linux kernel's disk encryption module that relies on the Crypto API, which is a cryptography framework introduced in version 2.5.45 of the Linux kernel mainline.[1] Cryptoloop was first introduced in ...
I am installing Ubuntu-18.04 using PXE ISO install in UEFI mode. The installation is failing with the below message:Error Screenshot
I looked into this thread grub-efi-amd64-signed failed installation but they are for manual installation. My query is for Unattended Installation over PXE server o...
@Zanna Yep, completely agree. I was always the smallest kid growing up (I grew a foot after HS graduation) and got a lot of "Just let the kids sort it out" until I broke another kid's collar bone. After that the tune sort of changed, and I got left alone, because it went from "Let the kids sort it out" to "You know maybe you should leave him alone. Did he start it or just finish it?"
I think it's a way to say something like "So, look guys. Hosting costed us this much. Dev time costed us this much. Meetins/events costed us this much.", so sort of gives you the ability to "guilt" people in to backing or whatever instead of just depending on people donating. Like, I used rvm for a while. The guy that wrote it put a dollar tracker up on his website that showed his income from creating and maintaining it.
I slammed my fist into someone's nuts while he was trying to push me deeper into a quagmire I got stuck in and would have done worse to him if the teacher wouldn't have intervened...
@Zanna I'd go further and say that it's a mild form of gaslighting: "I'm obviously trying to hurt or 'tease' you but you shouldn't feel hurt or teased – or at least I don't want you to complain about it to me or others."
I'm thinking more about the case @RobotHumans mentioned, where it's someone in power (like a parent or teacher or supervisor) who doesn't intervene when they should
Yep. Our gym coach training for seal team qualifiers just broke it up. "He started it" -- "Well, it's over now. From what I saw, you got yours in." I wasn't even suspended.
A old friend of mine was kinda pissy about me being snarky (and it was self depreciating). I apologised, and deleted the post. She ... apologised, and then kinda went at me after that.
@Zanna Although in general gaslighting doesn't require the “primary” abuser to be its source. It can be a third party (and is also a form of abuse itself, albeit psychological).
I once ran into one of my bullies from secondary school when I was in my late twenties in a school for adults. He was actually surprised to see me there and asked me which courses I was following... My response: I teach here...
Yeah. Got invited to a pool party not being told it was a pool party at one point. Showed up in clothes, so I didn't get in the pool. They picked up the chair and tried to throw me in chair and all (I was 14 or so). So, an adult could have intervened.
One of my friends from that point used to wear a shirt with a Bill Gates face on it that read "That's all right. That's okay. You're going to work for me someday" -- I can imagine the face @Fabby
Yeah, I was dragged in a pool once clothes and all. Of course, I got lucky when we got back to her place. So, getting launched in a pool, not always a bad thing ;)
I had enough time (20 seconds) to see it coming, so hyperventilated and when thrown in, exhaled and sank to the bottom and stayed there for 20 seconds.
They ended up jumping in fully clothed to "rescue" me.
@JourneymanGeek Really? Most people I know (or their parents back at the time) would totally go for damages compensation – unless they are rich and the perpetrator poor or something.
@JourneymanGeek Yes, I guess you could remove the phone from their pocket if you have enough people to not require the moment of surprise to succeed. Or you trick them to hand over their phone first or something.
@JourneymanGeek A ton? I hope not all at once or you probably wouldn't be here now.^^
I've installed Antergos to my laptop that is Ubuntu and windows already installed. Antergos installed its own grub. It was a little bit sluggish and I installed grub in Ubuntu again. All options appear in grub but when I'm trying to boot Antergos it fails and says "...kernel panic-not syncing:VFS...
@DavidFoerster - it looks like the deleted "non-answer" almost answered it/got it booting, but didn't know how to make a custom grub "OS finder" like I had to do back in the day for FreeBSD.
When I try to create a C/C++ source file
touch test.cpp
Usually it will generate a file which type is C source code file. But today I got a plain text file.
And I write a simple program in it like:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{ printf("hello");}
Then I use G++ to compile it:
g++ test.c...
We have a beer like that here. Guaranteed to leave you with a hangover, but cheap. The proper name is Milwaukee's Best, but people call it Milwaukee's Beast instead.
@GreatUncleBulgaria I've only installed grub once using UEFI and it went without any problems. I couldn't dream how to install over PXE Server to a remote client.
I've got 3 servers and several teams that use the servers.
They want to use different distros (Ubuntu, Debian, ...) with different settings. Virtual machines cannot be used because of the tasks.
Is there a way to use every system from every machine with the same settings applied? So if I install ...
We are having some weird network behaviors on some Linux VMs (cloud based, multiple providers, mostly Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04). We have two distinct networks with a Strongswan gateway in-between.

I tried to use tree command in bootable USB ubuntu but it showed that it is not installed so I tried :-sudo apt install tree, but it didn't worked and and showed unable to locate package and also said to enable component universe , and i don't what is component universe is. How to fix this?
the question already has some... very wrong dupe suggestions
possibly just answering it would serve
the questions we have about Windows line endings are tricky, because the user in general has no idea what the problem is (if they did they would probably know how to solve it), so the question titles are like "why is this thing I want to do weirdly failing?"
although what I know I'm saying isn't that, it's that if anyone wants to answer this question, the answer is to get rid of the carriage returns (I'm too busy to write answers) and if anyone wants to close this question, it's a dupe of one about Windows line endings
@dessert well, see my comment
(on the question... perhaps you did, and if so, I apologise. I don't know that we have a canonical post for that)
"improving" suggested edits, fixing stuff in the CV and LQP queue for the most part. I only edited 2 old posts in the process of killing the dump tag and a couple of related posts found from there
I am also in favor of a privilige where you can mark an edit as maintenance where it does not get kicked to the frontpage ;) Does not have to be a high rep requirement either.
hi. I can't read any more sd card on my laptop. it hrows me error in the log. like mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data, sector 30317688, nr 168, cmd response 0x900, card status 0x0. In fact, it is micro sd card, and they work fine because I can read them with a micro sd card to usb reader. So the problem is only with the sd card reader. or the adapter. So is it hardware or ubuntu ?
@Rinzwind Glad to hear that. I am annoyed by the automatic "bumped to homepage by the community" thing which bumps 7 yr old Ubuntu 11.4 questions about someone who typed "soodu" instead of "sudo" (or whatever) and wonders why it suddenly ceased to work.
@solsTiCe sudo apt install --dry-run smartmontools for me also says ... will be installed: ... libgsasl7 libkyotocabinet16v5 libmailutils5 libntlm0 mailutils mailutils-common postfix
@Fabby so I got now rtsx_usb_sdmmc rtsx_usb_sdmmc.0.auto: no support for card's volts. very weird. So I tried another mciro sd to sd card adapter and it works. I am mystified. I have tried a lot of them . I can't believe they all die at the same time
I remember my English teacher explaining that "fish" is the correct plural of "fish" but if you want to really stress having multiple of them, you can also say "fishes". I never heard of "fishes" later until a few years ago and then I was very proud of her.
@Fabby I only speak a few: German, English, Portuguese, Spanish and French are the ones I usually list, but I can read and understand many more, even if I didn’t see or hear them before.
@PerlDuck Childer used to be the plural of child in medieval times, but as no one had just one child, childer was eventually not seen as a plural any more so they added another plural to the plural: childeren, which then was too long so abbreviated over the years to children...
so somewhat more properly speaking @PerlDuck "ask" likes/can have an indirect object, the recipient (someone) of the direct object (a question), but "pose" doesn't want an indirect object

@Zanna you can ask for “someone” in “ask someone a question” with “Whom?” – actually there are interrogatives for genitive and dative: “Whose” and “Whom”
so if English still has these interrogatives, is has to have the cases too IMHO
@Fabby I once met a man from the US in London. He told me he met a Swiss guy and they were talking about languages. The US guy was amazed they have four languages in Switzerland and manage to talk to each other. He said he has even problems to understand what someone from TX says.
no, I just teach science. I am a qualified teacher, but I don't have a science degree. I just know the material at the school level. My first degree is in photographic arts (I know nothing about that and I'm no good at it)
@Fabby but I have to pay German taxes and get no pension with a job lasting only six months (which is quite common for a University job here as well as there).
