    Re: No safety catch for 'stop' command?

    I can confirm in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on stock Unity that this command does nothing as expected:


    $ stop
    stop: missing job name
    Try `stop --help' for more information.

    Big +1 for Clonezilla - it operates below the filesystem layer and outside of the normal OS, no worries :D.
  5. [ubuntu] Re: Lacks obvious applcation defaults (.deb and .run)

    "Have to do" is a loaded statement in this context. You go on to mention clicking on ".run" and ".deb" files and not getting the expected result. If your GUI is up and running sufficiently enough to...

    [ubuntu] Re: HELP needed to setup vncserver and run it.

    No, security is not a shiny shrink wrapped product that "just works." A proper VNC setup can be much more secure than SSH with a weak password. Likewise, a haphazard VNC setup is asking for trouble....

    [ubuntu] Re: low latency to run program over network

    It's actually rather deprecated it seems to me; and for some reason it's gotten painfully slow over the last few years even while computers and networks get faster. It seems like every dev. out there...

    [kubuntu] Re: Bash script to move file to the trash

    Again, very confusing... If you had the ability to edit system settings like sudo, then I would think sudo was already working.

    Cygwin is the only way I know of that might truly work. But even then there are no magic fixes for file ownership/permissions.

    Actually, Yes! The rsync binary is required on each end of the transfer to perform the rsync algorithm. I'm not sure if there is some sort of fallback mode or not, but I logged into a test server and...
