Well, actually they do hurt. The quotes break the word splitting and env will try to execute a program named 'libreoffice --writer' with the space as part of the name of the executable file's name....
The extension .scr can mean a lot of things. But if you're talking about Windows screen savers, than .scr files are actually executables (which is why back in the day downloaded screen savers were a...
That command is actually two commands separated by '&&' which means 'execute the following command if the previous one succeeded'. Since you're trying to extract a tar archive into a directory that...
You could define a 4:3 frame buffer with a width of 1680 (--fb 1680x1260) then set the laptop display to show from an offset (--pos 0x105) at its normal resolution and have the projector show the...
Just a stupid idea, but have you tried to switch to another virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-F1 to ctrl-alt-F7) ? AFAIK in modern Ubuntu the display manager runs in a specific VT (number 1, I think), the...
On 20.4 and later grub-customizer is in the repositories and should have pulled in all it's dependencies when installed with 'sudo apt install grub-customizer'. How did you install grub-customizer ?...
xinput wouldn't work if you weren't already using X11. X11R7 is a protocol for the communication between applications that need to display graphics and a display server that makes the hardware do...
If the 'Button Labels' list in "xinput --list 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' " is the same as mine in my original post then the xinput driver doesn't handle the additional buttons. If that's the case,...
The Wacom driver is for graphic tablets made by Wacom and possibly some other similar devices, so if you've got one of those connected that would explain why it's installed. Otherwise you do seem to...
Please run this command
dpkg -l 'xserver-xorg-input-*'|grep '^ii'
to check what driver for the touchpad is installed on your system. There are two, the newer libinput and the older synaptics....
If you read the manual page for wget ('man wget' in a shell), you'll find that there are ways to simulate a login to a modern page that uses scripting both on the server and in the browser to do the...
Alkinea is just a converter for turning a OpenOffice / Libreoffice document into an epub file. If you have Amazons kindlegen installed, Alkinea can use that to generate a file in the old Kindle...
Is the 'xubuntu' tag in the heading an error ? In XUbuntu you can just right click on the desktop, select 'Create New Launcher' (or words to that effect, I'm retranslating from the German) and get...
With Ubuntu 20.04 you have the choice between running with the newer, supposedly faster Wayland or the older X11, which has a lot more features (which is the reason Wayland is supposed to be faster,...
There's a reason why that answer at AskUbuntu has 0 votes: the Synaptics driver is very old code, originally a driver for one specific early touchpad by one specific manufacturer connected in one...
There's a setting in winetricks ('Select the default Wineprefix'->'Change settings'->'sound=alsa'). You might have to start wine with pasuspender to disable Pulse for the duration of your wine...
I don't think nautilus is showing you '/usr/bin/' (far to few files, there should be thousands in there). I think that's actually '/media/jv/uuid_of_Datenträger_74MB/usr/bin/'. Try hitting 'ctrl-l'...
AFAIK the only Ubuntu flavour to directly offer a downloadable image that should work on a raspi 3 is Ubuntu Mate. Ubuntu itself only offers a server image but of course you should be able to install...
The *.???x Microsoft Office files are just zip-containers full of XML for textual content, structure and format and various other files for none-textual content similar to the ODF-formats used by...
Since shutdown is supposed to be run by root (or someone allowed to act as root through sudo), I see two ways - or three if we count yancek's idea of changing /etc/sudoers allowing your account to...
Ubuntu Core is meant for building 'Internet of Things' devices. You're supposed to develop and (cross-)compile your app on another machine and install that app as a snap via ssh. Basically all access...
Good for you. According to this discussion on AskUbuntu the drag lock problem is a non-configurable timeout of 300 ms between tap and drag. If you're just minimally to slow it doesn't work and as of...
From the text on https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures:
To fix this problem copy the system wide configuration file /etc/libinput-gestures.conf to the hidden configuration directory in...
'chmod +x ...' marks a file as executable. Since you could call the compiler by prefixing './' it was already marked that way.
The problem isn't executing the program, finding it is. On Linux...
echo "hello world" | /bin/bash
There's not enough echo in there ...
echo echo "hello world" | /bin/bash
