Is there a standard answer we can use to close questions like this as a dupe? If there isn't, there should be since there's lots of similar Q&A's out there... askubuntu.com/q/1050727/117123
I think the perfect answer to a question like that is to point to a generic "not how distros work", then give specific workarounds to upgrade something through a ppa, compiling, etc
@chaskes Fine too - thanks :) Already upgraded to f28 ? I'm running it since the day it was released ... the most stable fedora workstation I've ever seen.
Hmm, but I'm looking at package listings in a mirror and while a lot of gnome programs (settings, etc) are gnome 26, gnome shell and some other programs (nautilus) are 3.22. This agrees with what I'm seeing in the install. It's a mixed bag
@chaskes closest might be my "Why do the repositories not have the latest versions of software" question which I had asked in order for it to be a canonical question that "Why doesn't Ubuntu VERSION have the latest version of XYZ?"
@ThomasWard Yeah, that's just about perfect. Maybe a 2-sentence summary at the top would make it easier for newcomers to understand, but it covers the issue completely
@Seth Just higher fiber may take care of it, but I asume you've tried that. Plant paradox is about avoiding lections from seeds: no nightshades, squash, beans
@Seth Plant paradox also says certain high fibers are bad, like brown rice. So it's a balance between the right kinds of whole grains, not just everything whole. I haven't gone whole hog, but I've cut bell peppers, zucchini, and beans. Give it a skim. Library should have it.
I think it is worse though when you work with people who are slow typers. You are chatting with them and you see ...... typing ..... typing ..... typing ......... Hi Terrance
lol I asked my mum and she said "if I'm in the chip shop I'll say 'two fish' [my mum has been vegetarian for about 3 years now, so she doesn't say that any more] but if I'm looking at some fish swimming I'll say 'two fishes'"
@Zanna wait, but you have this exact distinction (usual plural vs. different kinds) in bread:breads? what about people:peoples? “people” doesn’t have a singular, but I think that’s not relevant actually, the semantics is similar at least.
goes off somewhere, frowning because as far as she's concerned people really does have a singular form, which is person, whatever dessert says and however smart they are
@TheWanderer Count De Monet: I have come on the most urgent of business. It is said that the people are revolting! King Louis: You said it; they stink on ice.
To be honest: I didn't even understand what the lady at the TfL desk told me about my Oystercard and such and simply confirmed everything and showed my credit card. In the end, everything went well.
and though "more better" is technically wrong I would see as this: method A is better than method B. Method C is better than method A and method B so method C is more better than method B.
:+)
though the correct way would be: method C is better than method B
@Zanna Well, I like the way the Royals (e.g.) speak and when listening to BBC radio (almost every day at work) I understand most of it. But when I'm actually in the UK I really have problems.
when I got back from Brazil and went into a shop at the airport in London to buy an apple I was like OMG I don't have to construct the sentence in my head before I say it! It just comes out by itself with no effort!
I'm just teasing because we've been talking about usage and foreign language knowledge. You can't say a multitude quicker. Much quicker or quicker by far
My best friend (German) lives in the UK and when I talk to him he sometimes responds with German words but arranged according to English grammar. I reckon he meanwhile actually thinks in English.
although somewhat preoccupied trying to mark a biology exam and admiring all the amazing things students think lactic acid can do :)
release adrenaline, give you energy, allow you to keep running without oxygen, lubricate your joints, digest your food, repair your muscles... it's magical stuff!
I have ubuntu 16.04.
Out of curiosity, is there a way to see how much have you clicked, and/or which keys have you pressed the most in a period?
Like a system log or something similar, that could register events in every app/program.
For now, I don't want to install a keylogger, I don't even k...
I have a remote that I can ping from my macbook's terminal. But when I start my VirtualBox Ubuntu 16.04 VM and ping the same remote host, its not pingable and I get an error saying "Destination Host Unreachable".
Also, I am on my company's VPN when I do this and the remote host is on that networ...
Was helping a student just now taking a databases class. Instructions from the professor say "Copy the file from me with cp **/user**/professor/public/tal.sql" The actual file is in /home/professor/tal.sql -_____- I think this professor has no idea how Unix directory naming works and has no idea about crap in his own home directory
I wouldn't mind some pasta or maybe vietnamese noodles. Although it's hot right now, so my mind isn't particularly focused on food. Or not focused at all, to be accurate
I wonder if it's a good idea to invest in a new laptop. I finally found something quad-core that I like. But then do I save money, or make myself a gift ?
drat! just installed the new RAM (tested OK!) that came today and now I only get a black screen when I login. I can even see the panel for a second after login before the screen turns black. guest session and ttys work fine. any ideas where I could start.
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy Tech comes directly after cars when it comes to bad investments, so if we actually talk about investing money, stay away from laptops. ;P
@Fabby I have a paycheck coming soon, so I thought . . . But then again, I also have huge tuition bill coming soon in August . . . There's no savings, basically . . . Have fun baking, btw. Pinging off
@traducerad >, >>, and whatever other redirections are features of shell, which runs as normal user. Echo runs as root. So redirection won't be able to have root powers. That's why it's advised to use sudo tee filename. As for Invalid argument error, double check the path you typed, maybe there's typo. Double check if the path exists, etc.
Why are packages in the official Ubuntu repositories older than the latest (upstream) versions from Debian Sid, PPAs, the authors, etc.?

I see press any key... on my screen and:
I'm wondering which key I should press...
OR
I'm pressing a key, but nothing happens!
