WOW! Just checked out VirtualBox 6.0. UGH! I don't like it yet. The hardware acceleration is non-existence right now and runs like garbage. I'll have to look for any bugs on it so far.
Is there any policy on the use of emojis (?) or emoticons (?) in question titles, question body including code segments, answers, and comments?
Examples:
I can't login 😣😭 . #please help me
In https://askubuntu.com/posts/1105109/revisions it was part of the code until the querist removed it

@vidarlo that’s because there’s a good chance it actually is possible in any weird way you didn’t think of - of course you could run a VM with Windows and install pyautoit there, that would technically still be installing on Ubuntu in a way :D
that would perfectly answer the question while not accomplishing anything for OP - those are the answers I love most ]:-)
I have mounted a share folder (sf_test) to use as my apache root directory:
drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 0 Dec 28 23:42 sf_test
I have added my user to the vboxsf group and I can cd in there and make change.
also I have added my apache user (www-data) to the vboxsf group so that I can access i...
So I have a bash script that starts a tmux session with some monitoring tools, and have a cronjob that runs it on startup, however, I can't see the usual prefix to my commands, and I can't do ctrl-c or ctrl-v or any arrow keys
Normally it should look like this

Do you think askubuntu.com/questions/1105351/… is off topic because the application for mounting E01 files is not in the default repos, etc? I don't like when people decide to use Ubuntu as the base for the special applications.
I try to start second xsession on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. I switch to tty3: ctrl + alt + F3 then execute the following commands:
export DISPLAY=:2
startx -- :2
but it fails. Logs. What is wrong ?
The same method works fine on Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS.
@Terrance that question seems on topic to me... any time someone says "... is not in default repos" they should be aware that questions on using 3rd party software on Ubuntu is on topic. It has been pointed out to me on occasion that what OP is doing has nothing whatsoever to do with Ubuntu at all and the question can be reasonably compared to some absurdity like "I have lost my can opener. How can I open this can of beans with Ubuntu?". But that happens very rarely, and, not in this case imho.
I have ubuntu 18 OS and I am trying to prevent from all users to run 'chpasswd' command in after 17:00 oclock. I need to use pam for this.

I sometimes see comments like "Please mark as accepted" as a response to "Thank you, it worked" from beginners.
I have the impression that it is more common on SO to kindly draw such a beginner's attention to the help page What should I do when someone answers my question? and at the same time make clear that they are not in a hurry but should take their time.
@Zanna Hey, cool! I just flagged the comment in question as "no longer needed" at it immediately vanished. I mean, you said "accept" is a magic word, but I thought it would be deleted after an hour or a day and not at once.
I don't understand why you would start a Change.org petition for a product that is completely "free"? What good does forcing a company that gives you freedoms to support other products achieve?
I'm running Ubuntu Server 18.10 and I'm trying to convert a video file with ffmpeg on a zfs pool. ffmpeg just doesn't find the input file I specify even though it's definitely in the directory. Error message is: "file.MP4 no such file or directory."

Of course, knowing my luck as soon as I reach it, a user will be removed from the site or something will get downvoted, so it will be like "Haha! We fooled you!" >:(
I'm a Windows user but I am a huge fan of Linux (although I'm a beginner) so I'm trying to get familiar with the terminal. I'm using the Bash terminal for Windows and currently this is what I get when I type ls -a

@Terrance BTW I read an amazing article about luck. Apparently, you're as lucky as you think you are. People who think they're lucky are better at spotting opportunities and avoiding trouble. Studies have been done! Change your beliefs, change your life......
@Zanna =) Then maybe I should change my statement to "unlucky" ;)
However, it did happen to me at the time when you no longer need approval for the editing of questions and answers. Barely hit it and one of the users that voted on a few answers I had was deleted, so it was like an instant -30 shot to me.
