i think you should use a wiki to learn bash scripting from scratch instead of opening a thread for every hurdle you encounter.

i took your other request seriously (ssh and sudo su), now i feel a little miffed because i realise you're just faffing around to learn bash.

Does someone realize if a wi-fi router in a bedroom emits radiation microwaves that may pose fitness dangers for people? Cause I'm using this IP Address: 192.168.1.1 currently. I was thinking if it is a danger for other. Should we fear or use wireless with none situation? "fitness"? i'm s...

`run` have you just tried $run instead? i have done this sometimes successfully, sometimes, in cases like your's where variables are nested like that, it took some fiddling to make it work. depending on who you ask, this is an evil thing to do and eval should be used instead, or the other way aroun...

The grub configuration has certain hash numbers that are unique to the partition. It was long ago but I could not manage making the copied partition bootable. THis is more difficult if you copy from one computer and installed on another computer. oh, i missed this earlier. you are talking about UUI...

^ i don't see it that way. fwiw, i just went through the motions of installing debian in a vm, trying to stick to default options as much as possible with the graphical install (the default install method), and evtl. got to this screen: http://dt.iki.fi/stuff/forums/deb-inst-def-de.png i didn't chan...

^ i think you misinterpreted my intentions - as i said, i am holding a mirror for HoaS, in the tradition of Till Eulenspiegel if you will. No, i don't give a crap about "words" either, i do however give a crap about two-faced PC trolls like HoaS. you are not involved in this, and i don't w...

try 'single quotes' instead of "double quotes".

so it worked earlier, i assume? how exactly did you "switch"? has there also been a system upgrade at the same time? have you made sure that all the daemons & services started by gnome shell login are still started & working properly? what exactly do you see in dmesg? please copy p...

oh, you just did it again.
both your remarks reveal your deep-rooted genderism, i would even call it sexism. you know, males are this, females are that.
i wonder what Coraline would say?
i think i should inform them.

@piper: see here for context. i'm holding up a mirror for HoaS.

Dirty boy! :shock: How can people be allowed to post this sort of insulting content here. they think it's only a joke, but they're making us debian users look really bad. i demand Head_on_a_Stick to be expelled immediately. If the moderators of this site don't react, then the problem is bigger than...

...s/he said almost inaudibly.
what are you on, then?

solved? maybe you could mark the title of your first post.

i guess you need to be looking at systemd stuff, not KDE stuff.

I have no experience with anything bumblebee so ymmv

it seems OP did not addres these 2 important aspects.

looking at the systemd-analyze blame output, there's a lot to be investigated for udisks2, winbind (what is that even?), dev-sda1, ModemManger, exim4 (why is that even active on your system?)... for each unit, do journalctl -b -u unit (replace "unit" with the service from systemd-analyze) ...

For beginners, the best way to experience Debian is to install and use it on a computer; so, the first step is to install Debian; and, there shouldn't have anything that would do make beginners confused I think. i resent the notion of viewing all "beginners" as essentially illiterate and ...

right. so if you cannot provide any more information, i'm not sure how to help. this search suggests it has something to do with the GPU. but you will likely need to search more, with search terms combining make and model of CPU & GPU, and excerpts from boot messages. try to boot with "nomo...

all that said, e-waste is a serious problem of ridiculous proportions. it's most apparent with mobile phones & laptops (not the corporate models that have a high resale value, but the consumer crap, chromebooks and whathaveyou, that nobody wants to buy anymore when they start lagging after a yea...

Only 11 minutes? Gravity must be heavier in Australia than where you are. Posted at 21:14 local time. Post shows 20:25. That's 49 minutes. Maybe I mathed wrong in the earlier post or maybe gravity is fluctuating. 60 minutes - 11 minutes = 49 minutes. so i'm guessing you're actually one hour off som...
