@DKBose That's 600 mods. How many users? Also it hasn't hit mainstream media yet. I help people in SE every day but if someone organizes a day or two off in protest I'd join. Lexicons and tokens I don't buy, the one we just flagged had the f-word in it. Not exactly a new lexicon.
No, not all mods. Many "normal users" as well. But still too few to have any effect. By lexicon, I mean words that bring about an automatic flag by the Smoke Detector team such as keto. But then, you may have a point because even a few keto posts hang around longer than normal.
@DKBose Well I guess it is essentially a mod problem. Average users don't give a hoot about he/she/it and aren't responsible for correcting people for grammar crimes and a member of the new spelling police. Yesterday Air Canada changed "welcome aboard Ladies and Gentlemen" to "welcome aboard everyone". Suddenly people who enjoyed being addressed Ladies and Gentlemen lost that right to people that hate the phrase. Sad people let the haters change the world.
Well, a user with 15 rep can flag stuff. And to some extent, the average user is a moderator. IMO, what's happened affects us all somewhat like the butterfly effect. We may choose a particular course of action or inaction depending on whether we genuinely don't care, or don't want to be inconvenienced or are concerned about consequences, real or not.
I cloned my Ubuntu 18.04 to a SSD disk with "systemback" program and named it Ubuntuclone. I use Ubuntuclone with my MacBook Pro for separate OS. While my mac is opening I hit "alt" button. In opening screen I see three option;
MacOs
Windows
EFI
When I choose Windows or EFI, Ubuntu works fine...
I currently have to configure my PC in a way, that I can boot Windows 10 and Linux (Ubuntu) in parallel. Up to now, I´ve managed to arrange the dual boot of Windows 10 and the x64 Ubuntu 1804 LTS.
However, I also need to add the x86 Ubuntu 1804 LTS version to the GRUB bootmanager. Since Ubuntu d...
First of all, sorry for my English. I'm not an English speaker

This question has answers that may be good or bad; the system has marked it active so that they can be reviewed." The question in question is https://askubuntu.com/q/692770/248158 and it's about Lubuntu 15.04.
I'm trying on Ubuntu 18.03 to run my buildroot build, target x86_64 EFI.
I can see the GRUB screen, but when I choose Buildroot to start, then I can only see the not blinking cursor.
What is wrong? Have anyone already tried this?
I use this command to run qemu like in the example here:

i got a USB led fan, when i go to run the software via wine(on cd) it pops up in the taskbar but doesn't fully open, can someone help me with this problem? I've tried loading the program from the disk but no dice,
@DKBose I don't think closing as OT-EOL is the appropriate action since when the question was asked it was on-topic. And IIRC, such questions don't qualify as OT-EOL. But it can be closed as OT-no repro.
I don't think that's a problem. That's just an opinion. And I think you need to check what piece of code you are unable to understand. I usually write down a sample test case and do a dry run to see what the code is actually doing and most importantly why?. May be this could help :)
This is the question. Steeldriver's answer has case ... esac in it. While I've seen code with that in it, I never had anything to do with it. Now, I'm trying to figure things out ...
@DKBose Its piping the output of wmctrl -l to the while loop. The loop is reading 3 values at a time (since wmctrl returns 3 columns per row). It then checks the window ID. If that's!=-1, i.e. if there's any window, it would generate output (since echo was used). It's like if-else.
@Kulfy minor point but I think it's four columns, not three. I think Steeldriver's "stuff" accounts for all columns after id and dt.
@Kulfy and I think that defining the first two is all that's important (and they're reused as $dt and $id). But thanks for explaining. I'll dig into this case ... esac some more tomorrw.
@Zanna the problem is that I don't use stuff like awk, sed, grep, perl, find daily. I just figure out only what I need and stick it into a script/alias/function and then forget about it ... I don't know how the ninjas here keep everything at their fingertips. Amazing!
You can use the read shell builtin:
while IFS=" " read -r value1 value2 remainder
do
...
done < "input.txt"
Extra fields, if any, will appear in 'remainder'. The shell's default IFS (inter-field-seperator) consisting of white space characters will be used to split each line into its compo...
And now for something entirely different. I signed up for a twitter account. They seemed to accept an email address. I have some to spare ;). Then, a couple of hours, I logged in again and they want my phone number. Bye, Twitter!
