I am trying to debug some ubuntu installation issues from a customized ISO using the source image for ubuntu server 18.04 here:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04.2/ubuntu-18.04.2-live-server-amd64.iso (I am doing the customization similar to how Cubic is done).
When I run the installation after m...
Previously I had Slim set up to automatically log in to an Openbox session. This has changed. Perhaps it happened when I installed some package, I do not know.
Currently when Slim tries to log me in automatically it fails with the error Failed to execute login command, then it shows the login s...
When I run date on my Ubuntu under WSL, it prints:
Wed May 15 19:33:37 STD 2019
Why does this have the string STD in it? I can't find a timezone online with the abbreviation STD (for example here) and googling 'date std' gave me unexpected results.
I am installing Linux on a machine and got the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS image. I formatted a 32 GB Sandisk drive on macOS with MS-DOS (FAT) format and GUID Partition Map scheme.
I found the name of the disk as disk2s2 (either with Disk Utility or diskutil list in Terminal), unmounted and copied the imag...

This is how my question on StackOverflow is going to start.
So it's been 20 years since I last compiled anything >10K source lines and I've only compiled small stuff like applications since then, but I'm faced with an issue on my current distro's
@Fabby I edited that earlier but OP re-wrote and messed up the formatting. Then rolled back the edit and again messed up the formatting. I thought I'll invite editor war.
@Kulfy it seems like OP was still working on the answer when you edited, maybe they didn’t even notice your edit – let’s see what they do when Fabby does the formatting magic
@Fabby I would just compile the module(s) / program(s) I needed. It was three years ago though and can't remember much. Basically I would just do what dkms does for broadcom driver or nvidia driver.
Oh I see we are back to the Ath10k_pci thingy.... Kavlo has a github page with Qualcom Killer (whatever you call it card) driver. Just download that and compile it? There should be instructions on the git page.
@Kulfy I think your guys Android ROM Q&A should be flagged off-topic and belonging on Stack Overflow. We aren't really in the EEPROM business over here....
First instinct would be Android.stackexchange but they don't allow programming questions there, just user interface questions or new program installs, etc.
@WinEunuuchs2Unix I don't think it's off-topic. OP simply asked how to install OpenJDK7 not how to build the ROM. We can at least help them installing what they asked, if problem still persists redirect them to android.se
The issue:
It's been 20 years since:
I last wrote >1K of C code
compiled anything >10K source lines
My current Distro's support (Ubuntu 16.04) for an 0cf3:e300 Atheros Communications, Inc. WiFi driver is abysmal: 8-12Mbps is the best I get.

well, the repairs are up to you, but the taxes are a fraction of the purchase price. the court gets ~500 €, but that’s all you’d have to pay to be the new owner.
@Fabby oh, no taxes with a purchase prize <2.500 € actually – well the consultant thought you’d need to demolish the whole thing and these costs are higher than the property’s value, so it’s not worth anything => 1 €
that may or may not mean it’s unsalvageable, but there are photos if you’re interested ;)
@dessert Things are much lighter now with Kubuntu 18.04. I can even get decent performance running Kubuntu 19.04 (minimal) in a VM with 1 CPU core and 4GB RAM.
> The real reason for the complete solution is that right now I need exactly that for our company and have the solution at hand, otherwise a complete rebuild will be necessary.
Does it imply that someone is writing an answer just because they might need it later no matter if that is relevant to the question or not?
@Kulfy if it’s not relevant to the question, flag as NAA. OP is welcome to write an own Q&A, that’s what I do when I need to preserve my knowledge for myself, that’s no problem at all.
I am a graduate research student at a children's hospital and they have fairly strict rules on how patient data is handled. The general principle is that the data cannot leave hospital hardware onto personal laptops, personal email, etc. Currently the hospital trusts the graduate students and sta...
@Zanna In my opinion: no. There is already a tag add-ons which is a synonym of plugins. So, I think it can also be a synonym of that. The only difference is, it doesn't have an "s".
@Zanna I believe that's acceptable since you were the author of your answer and you knew what question really needs. But on the other hand the question about which I was talking about here is very much confusing.
I successfully got past the "Sorry, the browser you are using does not have a sufficient level of functionality" page by pretending to be using Internet Explorer (LOL)
but then I entered my details and it said "we cannot find you in our records"
@Fabby haha no, I mean whatever I say will not be bad enough. Not gentle at all, there's just nobody in the house to hear the expletives so I'll refrain
@Fabby I'll save my energy for solving the problem
nobody in the house except one mosquito feasting on my ankle :/
Because i've been called "You silly çµn|" by someone for years, and he got away with it because he told me when one mand calls another man that when only men are present, it's extremely funny.
@Zanna Hardly. Calling someone a prick is also insulting and not because of misandry. I mean, sure, you can look at it that way if you like, but the genitalia of both sexes are used as insults in many languages.
@Fabby It's a really weird one. If you use it literally, to refer to someone's anatomy, it is indeed extremely vulgar. However, I've heard it used in almost the same way as guy, as in "There was some guy over there" in BrE.
@Zanna Seriously? It most certainly is for me. If I say you prick to someone, I would expect consequences. Don't be a prick is slightly less offensive, mind.
No, I think she feels that we're two guys telling her what to think, whereas I am just one guy who is interested in language and happens to disagree with her.
Here' a nice list, by the way, which classifies prick as I would have:
Ofcom, which says this has been its most in-depth research yet, found that TV viewers are becoming less tolerant of racist and discriminatory language.
Most words relating to gender and sexuality, and race and ethnicity, were seen as strong, whereas most relating to disability were seen as mild or medium.
Confirmed what I always tell the Americans:
"Bugger off" is the gentle, British version of the expression the Americans use without using the f-word. >:-) but that the etymology of the word is actually worse, I don't tell them, so I can get away with saying that on conference calls
@Zanna No doubt. But I do think that the genitalia are a special case and words describing them are insults more because of society's prudishness and sex taboo than because of sexism.
... captcha, so I can access live chat support, only to be told "we have registered your query and we will get back to you within some annoyingly long period of time"
@Zanna please note that you weren't told anything of the sort. I just object to assuming everything is always about gender. That there may be other factors at play doesn't mean that gender is irrelevant.
Today I got a message from a brand rep giving me the contact details of the local technician who's going to install a water purifier at my place. I replied "when will the installation be done?" He replied "can you speak to [the guy]? he doesn't understand my language"
By the way, @Zanna, I was trying to find this before. Curiously apropos two of the discussion's subjects: imgoat.com/uploads/1d10e7bafa/208726.jpg (N entirely SFW)
I remember once my father found a letter written by my grandfather in 1940s to his sister. His writing grammar was very much different from what we know today.
@Fabby I somewhere heard that we write what we think. Actually I think in Hindi and then translate it to English. That's why sometimes my grammar is bad :(
@Zanna AFAIK it was about the construction of her house back in grandfather's hometown. My grandfather's brother-in-law was a sales tax commissioner and got posted there. I asked my father some months about the letter. He said he misplaced it :/
Ngugi wa Thiong'o describes kids being beaten in school for speaking Gikuyu. They learned English under duress and violence. Maybe they learned it better than us because that was the only revenge they could take
haha the perspective of whoever is making the list is important...
I cannot remember the "old" ones... the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, The Hanging Gardens of Babylon...?
Britishers and Taj Mahal are connected. Firstly they modified the garden so that it looks like London's garden and secondly they protected it during WW from airstrikes.
Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Mausoleum at Halicarnassus (also known as the Mausoleum of Mausolus), Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria
dude in the Netherlands started a real life farmville. You can rent a 2 by 2 meters patch and can app a real life person to do something to it. Like rake it, plant something like potato, berries or flowers water it, cover it when it hails. You get 300 credits for 100 euro to spend on it and when you ask them to harvest you get it sent to you :D :D
