@dessert I observed that his previous suspension was network wide which ended on March 20, '19. Now he is suspended on AU only for a year. He is back on U&L and other sites.
I have been thinking of writing some sort of utility for linux that keeps track of all my installed software and configuration. Something that after doing a fresh install I can just run it and will restore my copy of ubuntu as it used to be before doing the fresh install.
I do not know exactly w...
Is it possible to keep some program running outside screen locking?
For example, some keys on my keyboard are not good to use, making it difficult to type password to unlock screen. so I want to keep virtual keyboard program "onboard" outside xscreensaver's lock in Lubuntu 18.04.
Thanks.
I know what I do with this command, I kind of understand how it works and so on, but I am new to Ubuntu and I am trying to learn as much as possible and it feels uncomfortable to use a command and not fully and truly understand it. If someone could help me it would help a lot :))
Thanks!
for example today I got up, ate breakfast, did yoga, tried to iron my clothes, spent some hours doing a drawing for my dad, realised I had drawn it with metric brick sizes but it has imperial bricks (ie everything was the wrong size and/or in the wrong place so would have to be done again), went out to eat lunch, ate it, bought some fruit I never saw, came back, ate the delicious mystery fruit, re-drew the building... then started reviewing stuff on AU
but I'm not complaining, it's like 35 degrees and the food is amazing :D :D
@Zanna One of the U&L regulars is renting an airbnb room out in Mumbai if you're around there.
I only know him from chat, but he's always seemed like a particularly nice guy. Faheem. I can give you a link to the room if you're interested (and after I make sure he doesn't mind me linking his online persona to his real world one here).
I want to get my wife a better laptop, she's been using her last one almost 10 years... it currently has a hole in the screen, a sticky keyboard, and requires a USB mouse because the trackpad doesn't work at all. I admire her thriftiness, but it's way past time to fix the situation.
Guess who has a new laptop and is out of town while I get to do the setup! :)
I'm probably going to just install Xubuntu 18.04 and wipe Windows 10... but before I do, is there anything worth doing? Should I try to keep a Windows recovery... anything?
According to Winderstat Windows is currently taking up 35GB.
thinks in chat I want to just delete Windows since it's taking up 35 GB, and there's probably a recovery partition I can't see yet taking up the 128(invoice reported size)-117(windows reported size)=11GB...
So that means windows is literally taking up 46 GB of memory on this computer.
Yet another reason to hate Windows...
I'm thinking if the Xubuntu test drive seems good I'm wiping it all...
Must be the recovery partition. You can make a backup usb stick btw to make sure you can reinstall windows. Think it is a default option in "backup". I did it with my laptop, dont exactly remember how. Its windows free now.
I understand that systemd stores unit files at different locations for different versions of Linux. On RHEL, it's at /usr/lib/systemd/system/, whereas on Debian-based machines it's at /lib/systemd/system/.
However, on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine, I just installed Elasticsearch using a .deb file, and...
I don't know if this question belongs in this community but I hope someone can help.
I installed VirtualBox and Genymotion on Ubuntu 18.04
But, when I run Genymotion it starts to boot and it shows me that it's not able to find VirtualBox, but looking at logs this fails:
