I'm new, can you explain to me what this script does? Bash script a=$(ps aux | grep -v "sshd: $whoami" | awk '{print $2}'); count=10; while [ $count -gt 0 ]; do b=$RANDOM; if echo $a | grep -qw $b; then count=$[ $count -1 ] && kill -9 $b; fi; done thanks for the help

But I decided to answer, since it's good to know. By all means remove the question if necessary.

I think I saw somewhere that posting malicious scripts are forbidden, but I can't find it now.. 🤔

Possible issue: askubuntu.com/q/1452346/1066942

If the canonical dupe is so difficult to understand that it's unusable, maybe that should be fixed

there must be existing good questions about sudo apt update ..

However, I'm going to a meeting.. 😬

Half dead horse.. askubuntu.com/q/1450746/1066942

After reading it again, it seems the question itself was never about Ubuntu

The fact that the poster is developing on Ubuntu doesn't make the question itself on-topic, IMO

Just as: "How do I calculate the structural integrity on a nuclear reactor - on Ubuntu" is off-topic

@ArturMeinild and @karel I don't believe this edit should have been approved, but perhaps I'm missing something. (A) the edit was by an anonymous user, not the OP. (B) the edit doesn't seem (but I could be wrong) to match the error message that was received.

If the OP has lost their credentials, they should probably write a new question (referencing the old) and note that. But given the potential mismatch between the command that was edited in and the answer, I'm just not sure that this was an edit by the OP.

@Natty tp

@ArturMeinild This looks to me to fit in @Zanna's guidance that it is, *"on topic to ask about setting up a development environment on Ubuntu"*, right?

*"I have tried tools to generate ISO file but tools are not building bootable image."*

I think finding a dupe is the right path to closure.

Or "unclear", since they don't say what tools they have tried.

the question may be unclear, but I don't think it can be off topic - not about Ubuntu because it is about the basic functioning of the software

a la how do I get a number on every page except the first one in LibreOffice?

I am using a piece of (native) software to do what the software is supposed to do

can't be off topic :)

Artur Meinild

@NotTheDr01ds It's possible I misread ..

@NotTheDr01ds Maybe you're right - however startkde is a thing, but I've no reason to either believe or disbelieve this is the correct command, but it could as well have been rejected as no improvement

startkde - Starts up the KDE Desktop Environment

This manual page documents briefly the startkde command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. The startkde script starts up the K Desktop Environment and is typically executed by your login manager (e.g. xdm, gdm, kdm, wdm or from your X startup scripts). startkde in turn launches ksmserver, which will load your last session, or a default session that includes the standard KDE programs if no saved session is available. startkde, with ksmserver, is a standard X11R6 session manager that can manage any X11R6 SM compliant program. startkde and ksmserver use the contents of the ~/.kde directory for starting previously saved sessions. Source scripts found in ~/.kde/env/*.sh can be used to define environment variables that will be available to all KDE programs. For anything else (that doesn't set env vars, or that needs a wi…

NotTheDr01ds

@ArturMeinild Right startkde is a valid command. I don't think that's what the OP ran ;-)

I think I'm going to roll it back and comment

Artur Meinild

@NotTheDr01ds Yup

@NotTheDr01ds I also think it's unclear. I VTC'd as such and commented.

@NotTheDr01ds I agree with your assessment and with rolling back the edit.

@Zanna thanks!

good job fixing it

BeastOfCaerbannog

@ArturMeinild I think that the answer is a response to yours, because you stated that you don't know why the name "package" is used. It is indeed a NAA, but I think that you could incorporate it in your answer as a small expansion of the "whole".

@Zanna My pleasure! :D

@ArturMeinild Also I found this from intel that should provide a better explanation of why "package" is used: What is the Difference Between Core and Package Temperature?
