It has been a while (1+ yr) since I did a new install of either Ubuntu or Fedora

IMPORTANT: Did you enable encryption on the Fedora install ??

But if my memory serves me well, the default...

Isn't this what I said in post #6 ??

So, you want ALL IPv4 iterations 256^4 = 4,294,967,296 (almost 4.3 Billion) options.

Unless you include IPv6, which is 256^6 iterations = 281,474,976,710,656 (about 281.5 Quadrillion) options.

One of the mistakes I made as a new Linux user was trying to copy MY files to another user, which requires 'root' privileges. In doing so, the files have 'root' ownership and group.

Instead it is...

#!/bin/bash

VARIABLEA="/home/user/script.name"

VARIABLEB=$(echo "whoo hey hoo hola")

echo ${VARIABLEB} >> ${VARIABLEA}

The proper corrections are in red.

Although Papibe's advice is good, it will ONLY work if your are in your $HOME directory...

Use:

cd ~/Downloads
to get there from ANY directory. The difference is between absolute and relative...

command > logfile-$(date +'%Y-%m-%d')

The command

mount
by itself will output all mounted drives.

You probably need root privileges, use sudo:

sudo cp /path/to/filename.odt /media/usbdrive

I am on 10.04.3 LTS running kernel 2.6.32 and am very happy with the stability.
My Android phone also uses the same kernel version, proving it's reliability.

Try the instructions at this link I know it refers to 9.10 but it worked for me on 10.04

You can import a 'jpg/png' file into gimp(.xcf) or inkscape(.svg) and add a text layer, but you will NOT be able to edit any existing text in the image.

In both the Gimp and Inkscape, just click...

There are different types of layers in different types of image files.

Is your file a 'gimp' file with a '.xcf' extension?
Or is it a vector file with a '.svg' extension?

In order to...

You may need to re-install the sun studio compiler, I honestly don't know why you are getting the errors you have. Also, check the md5sum of the .deb or .tar.gz file (however you got the download)
...

Let's look at:

file /etc/sunstudio/sunstudio12/prod/bin/CC

I was kinda hoping that was it! I am really shooting in the dark now, but will try to help as much as I can... Try:

ls -l /usr/bin/cc /etc/sunstudio/sunstudio12/bin/CC...

What is the output of:

shopt | grep nocase

Don't use the symlink, but the actual file, any errors?

/etc/sunstudio/sunstudio12/prod/bin/CC --help
If not the symlink is broken.

Does 'CC' work from the command line but not in the script, or just not at all?

Does:

CC --help
give any output?

Actually the command 'which' does not identify if it is a symlink, it only tells the user which file is found first in the path.

Use
file /etc/sunstudio/sunstudio12/bin/CCinstead.

You could just comment out line #87 as it's only an alias. Is your prompt different after also?

For me, the left sidebar has 'Audio, Replay Gain, Network, Playback, Playlist, Plugins, and Skinned Interface'

Make sure you are in the correct sub-dialog!

To answer the question in the title of the thread, YES and NO, ~/.bash_aliases is 'sourced' meaning the shell reads its contents, but it is not 'executed' in the way a script is executed with a...

Take a look at one of the power management utilities...

man pm-suspend
Although I don't know any exact code to give you.
If it is not installed by default the package is 'pm-utils'
