What you show is that the home directory field is set in /etc/passwd, not that the home directory is actually created. Is it created? It isn't for me. If what you are wanting is for the home...

Encryption of a 0 byte file is er... special. Nothing encrypts to nothing. If you repeat the test with a file whose size is greater than 0 you will need to enter the password to extract it.
Note...
Fair enough, so as I said earlier...
e.g.
column some_flags_here < some_file | expand | cut -c 1-100
or use setterm.
If you want column to truncate the lines without help from any other...
I have never come across the column program. What is it supposed to do? It's unclear to me from the man page. There are many more commonly used tools that can be made to truncate lines, including awk...
The answer depends on which file manager you are using.
I use Ubuntu Studio 20.04 (which is based on Xubuntu) so the default file manager is Thunar. With Thunar, you can right-click on (say) a...
There are 2 problems with that.
1. & has meaning to the shell. An incomplete sed command is backgrounded then another command beginning with /g is attempted to be executed. You need to prevent the...
It looks like it's trying to install an older version of git-email. Try
sudo apt update
then re-try the install.

Welcome to the forums.
I haven't done serial comms in Python, but I suspect you don't have read/write permission to the device. Typically, you would need to be in the group dialout. You could test...
TheFu's sensible and extensive advice notwithstanding, the reason your script is failing is because
doesn't do what you think it does. It assigns ls to the variable numFiles then tries to execute...
I'm not sure what your server requires but it looks like sftp or scp might possibly be what you need to use.
The format of the examples you have given look fine. Here are 2 thoughts.
Perhaps you are editing the file directly rather than via 'crontab -e', in which case cron would not receive a signal...
If your sole objective is to run Ubuntu inside Virtualbox as per your first sentence, then there is no need to install Windows in a separate Virtualbox VM. There can be reasons for choosing to do...
This ought to do it:
AccountA$ chmod go=r ~/.Xauthority # Allow AccountB to copy this file
AccountA$ su AccountB
AccountB$ cp ~AccountA/.Xauthority ~
For a program you need data structures and algorithm. You've made a start at some data structures but you are lacking an algorithm. Choose an algorithm...
Thanks. That's helpful so I can now do:
$ git clone myalias:/path/to/repo.git
but that still didn't work - same timeout error.
It turns out that for this server, the URL must have a...
We've recently changed hosting provider and are having trouble getting git working.
ssh works with authorized_keys so:
$ ssh user@myhost -p NNNNN
works, giving me a shell (albeit a...
We would need to see some code in order to be able to determine why it is not doing what you expect. However, as I understand it, when a pthread exits, it does not raise any signal, nor does it when...
The reason the new size wasn't recognised appears to be because there was a snapshot of the VM. Removing the snapshot has solved the problem.
Format: vdi, Dynamically allocated storage. as per OP. Are you suggesting that resizing a dynamically sized vdi doesn't work?
Thanks for your replies. However, Windows sees the disk (not the partition) as still only 100GB. Therefore there is no free space into which to expand the partition. Thinking that this might be a...
The host system is Ubuntu Studio 20.04. This hosts a Windows 10 VM with 100GB disk which I want to increase to 150GB.
I have done:
VBoxManage modifyhd Win10Dev64-disk002.vdi --resize 150000
...
There would be only one copy of the code segment in memory. However, I'm not sure what you mean by reentrant. What I understand by that is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reentrancy_(computing)
...
Beaten to it.
Is that your system time? If so, can't you set it to something more realistic?
