When I try sudo dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server I get the message that openssh-server is broken or not fully installed, and when I try sudo apt-get install openssh-server I also get an error message from dpkg saying that a post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
should I make a question that includes all of the output I recieve? I'm just not sure because there are a lot of questions about the topic but it's an issue that is getting pretty specific now
@jesse_b when i was a toddler my grandmother took me to the park with bread to feed the ducks but i ended up getting the crap pecked out of me by a hoard of swans
oh ok i think i have found it in the community called super user
ah super easy for some reason i had installed a package called "tinysshd" and this is why it wasnt even letting me install the openssh-server package, which automatically was installed when i removed tinysshd
@FaheemMitha regarding going for the front end, no i am definately happy with the time spent working with the ssh tutorials they have up for Debian, its mainly for the sake of exploring everything counter intuitive for me, ie encryption, I mean its embarassing to be someone into prime numbers to find that counter intuitive, but it is what it is, you cant make that level of ridiculous up
@FaheemMitha yes, it went smoothly; this would have been September 2013 at the earliest (that’s when I switched from a 32-bit-only Pentium 4 to a 64-bit-capable Haswell Xeon).
(But I’m not a good guide to whether something is easy or not, in Debian at least.)
faheem@orwell:/usr/local/src/mercurial-evolve/mercurial-evolve_10.1.0.orig/debian$ DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nocheck" debuild -us -uc debuild: found debian/changelog for package mercurial-evolve in the directory /usr/local/src/mercurial-evolve/mercurial-evolve_10.1.0.orig but this directory name does not match the package name according to the regex PACKAGE(-.+)?.
Maybe it's lack of sleep, but I don't understand what this is telling me.
@StephenKitt I should. The same script creates it. And I have one in my directory right now, unless it was created later. Which I don't think it was. Namely mercurial-evolve_10.1.0.orig.tar.gz.
I mean the error message says what it means, which is what I said above, but it’s strange that it worked for you in the past and stopped all of a sudden
@FaheemMitha that’s the only circumstances in which I’ve seen it fail, but the code suggests it always checks (but then it would fail for you all the time if it did)
Is there a way to make gnu sed be verbose about what is run and what is done ?
I'd like to have something like a "debug mode" so that I can see - for each line of input - the content of the hold space and pattern space before and after the script is run etc.
I wrote a regular expression which works well in a certain program (grep, sed, awk, perl, python, ruby, ksh, bash, zsh, find, emacs, vi, vim, gedit, …). But when I use it in a different program (or on a different unix variant), it stops matching. Why?
@StephenKitt Yeah we had turkeys, geese, ducks, chickens, peacocks, and cows. Lots of stuff making noise
He had one goose that he got from a petting zoo and it would follow you around like a dog except it hated my grandmother. She never had the heart to kick them (which you generally only ever have to do once for them to learn who is boss) so it would pretty aggressively attack her so much that she kept a broom on the front porch dedicated to shooing this goose away when she would walk to her car
@jesse_b hah, a farmer once told me people need to be careful when stroking cows, because they sometimes like it so much they’ll lie down on top of whoever is stroking them
there’s the opposite problem too when stroking a cow lying down, sometimes they’ll suddenly get up
so you can choose whether to be squashed or knocked out
Horses are known for being intelligent but cows are pretty intelligent as well. The biggest thing I remember is that the bulls were particularly aggressive around the females and children. You could approach a bull on it's own without much issue, or a group of cows, but if the bull was with the cows it would become defensive over them
The town I grew up in as a child would have a saint patricks day parade every year and budweiser would always bring cyldsedale horses which are obnoxiously big even compared to other horses I've seen
@jesse_b Yes, which is why I was surprised at the non-Irish beer and equines. You seem to have kept the spirit and traditional nature of the thing intact apart from that!
Nobody wants to try your 30 different flavors of IPA. No matter how much cranberry nut crunch you add to it, it still tastes like eating a handful of rotten hops
I actually looked up endemic and first meaning is "Native to a particular area or culture; originating where it occurs." which seemed good enough for me
To be honest I just wanted to colloquially express what I meant, and I didn't anticipate a linguistic thesis defense. Now that we've clearified what I meant I'm happy :P
