@Kupferdrache your extra commas confuse me

@Braiam sorry you chatched me in my sleep cycle

@terdon I updated the grub question.

terdon

@Kupferdrache Good. Now explain whether your system is 64 bit or not and what makes you think grub expects 64.

Kupferdrache

As I ran grub-install it outpute using x86_64-efi arch.

terdon

@Kupferdrache You need to show all this in your question.

Does anyone have any idea why a los+found directory would be undeletable, even when placed in /tmp?

Q: Undeletable directory in lost+found

How can I delete this directory? I did fsck and it has found some garbage, I looked through these files and there wasn't something important. So I've tried to delete the contents of /lost+found and everything has gone except this strange directory. I thought that putting it to /tmp (I can move th...

I am on rescue prompt again.insmod ext2 outputs prefix/i386-pc/ext2.mod file not fount and if I use insmod path/to/file.mod in outputs error: invalied arch-dependent ELF magic.

terdon

@Kupferdrache As I said, you need to add all this to your question. I am not an expert on EFI, I am just trying to help you make your question clear so someone else can answer.

Kupferdrache

@terdon I also considered to copy th the content of /boot/grub to ESP/EFI/BOOT, as the . It is already in the question.

It would be nice if bash history retained some memory of when a command was issued.

As far as I know, it doesn't.

Kupferdrache

Bash has a history, usualy it is the last 100 comands of the same user

terdon

14:04

@Kupferdrache That depends on the $HISTSIZE variable.

@FaheemMitha It does. You need to set the HISTTIMEFORMAT variable and the dates are printed. For example:

 $ HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F %H:%m:%S " history  | head
    1  2016-07-03 17:07:35 ENV="~/.bashrc"
    2  2016-07-03 17:07:35 sh
    3  2016-07-03 17:07:35 export ENV="~/.bashrc"
    4  2016-07-03 17:07:35 sh
    5  2016-07-03 17:07:35 bash
    6  2016-07-03 17:07:35 find . -maxdepth 0 -exec false \; -exec echo YouWillNeverSeeThis \;
    7  2016-07-03 17:07:35 man find
    8  2016-07-03 17:07:35 ssh badabing
    9  2016-07-03 17:07:35 rmdir ha
   10  2016-07-03 17:07:35 ls ha

Kupferdrache

yup, it is usaly set to 100 (at least if I remember correct, I have read to much

terdon

A: Simplest standard way to print last bash command with timestamp

As you point out, history 1 prints the history command itself since that is the last command you ran. To get the previous one, you'd need history 2: $ touch foo $ history 2 $ history 2 19950 touch foo 19951 history 2 So, to get the previous command without counting history itself, pass it th...

@Kupferdrache Dunno, that's the first thing I change in any new installation. I have it at 999999.

Kupferdrache

sure, as you wish

thats a lot of scrolling

terdon

@Kupferdrache Scrolling? Why scrolling? I only ever use history | grep foo.

Kupferdrache

Ok, you know what you are searching

I have to make sure this time it installs all in the corect patch and it usses the UUID to link.

@terdon Oh, I see. Thanks for the tip. I wonder why this is not set by default.

Kupferdrache

I finally found it, it is an incomplete EFI implentation, that caused it

terdon

@Kupferdrache Really? Well done!

Kupferdrache

I am writing on and anwser.

terdon

Thanks!

@FaheemMitha Because usually you want the command itself and not the time, I guess.

Faheem Mitha

@terdon Yes, perhaps people don't care about the time so much.

Kupferdrache

15:45

It is a lealy short answer for such an long question. you can take a look now. and yell at me I forgot somethng.

terdon

@Kupferdrache Hey, if that's all it took, that's all it took. Thanks for posting it!

Kupferdrache

No, prob, i added a refernce to debian wiki, that pointed me finally in the dircetion I suspected it to go after getting nearliy insame before.

Faheem Mitha

16:04

@terdon Why did the batty poster accept his own answer, which merely referenced yours?

terdon

@FaheemMitha shrugs

Faheem Mitha

I wonder if asking what settings people use when downloading using youtube-dl would be considered too vague.

I recall the documentation being better - the man page, at least, is now decidely non-prescriptive.

terdon

17:13

@FaheemMitha Too broad and/or primarily opinion based, yes.

Faheem Mitha

Well, vague is the word I would use.

@terdon Democracy in action.

@terdon You said your GF had an Airbnb listing. Ask her if it is Ok to send me the link. I'd like to take a look. Just curiosity.

terdon

18:20

@FaheemMitha sure, I just emailed it to you

Faheem Mitha

@terdon Great. Thanks!

If you want to see my (newish) listing, towerroom.net redirects to it.

Fancy. So that's was Greece looks like.

@terdon So what kind of internet connection does one get on a Greek island? Yes, I thought of that. I'm a sad, sad, person. :-)

Hello friends; so I didn't want to waste a question on the forum when it's probably a simple mater of me overlooking something. I am trying to run a python script via cronjob and have my cronjob setup like so

PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin
12 20 * * * python /home/justin/pythonShit/archiveScript.py >> /var/log/script_output.log

the python script itself runs as confirmed in my log. it's able to basically only print the commands. this python script in itself however is set up to archive stuff via system os commands. the script works when I run it normally but it doesn…

any ideas on why it wouldn't run?

terdon

@g00ch seems like a perfectly good question. Please ask on the main site.
