Here is a screenshot of something I am working on this time:

It is a ridiculous thing meant to...

To recap one thing to do take note of if nothing else, is that your first partition may not start at sector 63 but it needs to start at 2048 or above. Keep that in mind. For GPT disks you need a BIOS...

I have no clue because I don't use automated installs. If you feel free though to talk, if you want, and if you need that, if you have a Jabber/XMPP account (such as at kdetalk.net) you could try to...

That's being called a Dinosaur ;-).

We can also go back to the Victorian age and try to make those standards work for us today. It won't work, but Linux (Unix) people would have you do it.

If...

The auto.master is just the default, mostly.


#
# Sample auto.master file
# This is a 'master' automounter map and it has the following format:
# mount-point [map-type[,format]:]map [options]...

I have no clue what is wrong, but the autofs package is supposed to open the auto.smb script when referenced, and it is not doing so.

I have tried to achieve the example of "/cifs /etc/auto.smb...

Please, don't be so scared of things.



Well, duh, you can, that's exactly what you can do. The Live CD is not going to mount your harddisk by itself. It has no reason to, it is not reading...

Yup, those commands are pretty complex.

Dude, if you want to wipe, just run shred -n1 -z /dev/sdb (for instance), it will do two passes, one with random numbers and one with zeroes.

See, this...

Typically that is not a very good idea unless you run into trouble, but I guess the limit is something like 256 characters? The tersity of the Linux system makes it utterly incomprehensible for...

Here's running the numbers :p.


resblocks=$(tune2fs -l /dev/sdb1 | grep "Reserved block count" | sed "s/.* \(.*\)/\1/")
blocksize=$(tune2fs -l /dev/sdb1 | grep "Block size" | sed "s/.*...

By the way



I would disagree with that. You can't compare ZFS to LVM. LVM is much easier than most other systems I know in Linux. Its command line options and parameters, its tools, are...

Says LVM is complex and then mentions ZFS ;-).

But it is true what you say of course.

Personally? I would try to use mdadm (RAID) but this is a very bad command line tool from my perspective,...

If your wlan device is wlp2s0 then the following will instantly kill wifi for a single user only:


sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -o wlp2s0 -m owner --uid-owner <username> -j DROP

Iptables is the...

Never mind. Alsa has the outputs muted for s/pdif and I had to enable it using Alsamixer.

By the way:



You would need to set those rules to run at startup, for instance in /etc/rc.local

Regards, and good luck.

I think that would depend entirely on what you want.

Windows 10 is extremely buggy from my perspective but new and flashy.

Ubuntu, or Linux in general, is even more buggy, but easier to live...

My post here seemed incorrect, it didn't actually work because it blocked more than I wanted.

But see...

Did you use Ubuntu steam or the package provided by Steam? It might not make a difference, but they do different things, particularly with regards to locations and such.

nVidia is notorious with...

Activating this function is typically more special than using "special" software that is not special at all ;-).

Just saying that it is more out of the ordinary to use that, than the solutions you...

I immediately want to add something here, even if it is too much information.

As long as your drives are always connected first (after your main disk) they will be sdb, sdc, sdd and sde. If not,...

uDev gives me shivers....

I really meant not hotplugging, but using it from boot. When I had a eSATA enclosure (or was using it, I still have it) I never disconnected the drive. eSATA is a very...

A partition is a division on disk in which parts of the disk are accessible as their own "volume". In Linux, these volumes are normally called /dev/sda1, etc. where "1" is the number of the volume on...

Just saying, an rsync transfer can be restarted, by e.g. using the -aPh parameters, the -P stands for "partial" (and I believe also progress) and it will just try to keep going where it left off.

The most likely thing is either going to be one of two things:

- something to do with the kernel proper (drivers for your hardware)
- something to do with your graphics card / drivers.

I have no experience with Ubuntu (Unity) currently. But that is odd indeed. I hope you find a solution, but I cannot test it for you. Regular console (command line) programs to use, to test, are:
