So, When I'm working with a graphical environment and do some tasks like copy and paste then who translate it for the computer? copy and paste in a graphical environment not doing by "cp" command? I suppose those who wrote the computer programming code to execute the functions and systems...

kill the swap partition, add a swapfile Do think twice before doing that. Linux was designed to use raw block devices as swap space, and still is. Using swapfiles with Linux is a hack. A dirty one. It does not work natively on filesystems types which do not allow to map files to physical blocks, us...

There are some downsides to doing that with symbolic links. It's much cleaner to create a folder in /home (e.g. DATA) and then use fstab to mount your data drive/partition to that folder. If /home is on a separate partition to / then it doesn't have to be very big. I could just mount a single folde...

Can you share the method? #!/bin/bash #make home cd /media/shared mkdir homelinks cd homelinks mkdir Documents mkdir Downloads mkdir Music mkdir Pictures mkdir Videos mkdir .icons cd ~ rmdir Documents rmdir Downloads rmdir Music rmdir Pictures rmdir Videos rmdir .icons ln -s /media/shared/homelinks...

So you can use 7 wires with either 1 or 0 to represent them all (each keyboard key, see above link). In practice, this binary representation is done using a high voltage (say 5 V) to represent the 1 and a ground (0 V) to represent the 0. These are essentially switches, if you pass electricity throu...

hi, In most cases for personal use, a separate home partition is useful when you upgrade or reinstall your system, you can choose to leave this partition untouched so you can have a backup A note, if you upgrade or reinstall, leaving your /home "disconnected", I suspect you allow the upgr...

Well, to be fair, the fact that some computer buses use a serialized architecture and do not send the bits in a parallel manner does not really make that guy's point invalid, now does it? But the way that the peripherals send the data is a bit off topic, yes, getting off topic... keyboards send key...

I guess you must read an article like https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-does-computer-understand-only-language-1s-0s-ahmed-mousa . OK, Can you tell me how Terminal work? You may be doing too much guessing. As I first read your citation, I figured it was an over simplification for typical people li...

https://wiki.debian.org/NewInBuster Changes The su command in buster is provided by the util-linux source package, instead of the shadow source package, and no longer alters the PATH variable by default. This means that after doing su, your PATH may not contain directories like /sbin, and many syste...

In "Terminal" you type "cp" for copy a file, but computer just understand 0 and 1 then who convert the copy command instructions to 0 and 1 for the computer? Now it's confusing, starts out with translator, always thought it was interpreter, now you're talking converter. I don't ...

I hadn't look into the specifics, just the methods. I suggest you first read https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian before creating a FrankenDebian. https://packages.debian.org/stretch/thunar and download the .deb file directly. *possibilities 1 Use gdebi pkg to install new-downloaded one (does hav...

I know if you use synaptic you can use the menu Package > Force Version (after you select the package you want) You can configure a pin for the file. I've done it, but you'll have to look into apt pinning for get it right. man apt-get shows a --allow-downgrades option, but then I bet you'll need to ...

If you really believe they lack the capacity to discover their own answers... how is you bullying them going to make any impact?

Cyberbullying is a horrendous activity.

VICTORY! I had skimmed over something, concerning OPTIUM drivers for nvidia - didn't think it relevant.

NVIDIA support has a line to add to lightdm.conf ,shell script for "switching" displays

Yes, why, "it" doesn't load intel drivers and take off from there instead? who knows.

There seem to be issues specifically with lightdm and nvidia driver. Some answers insist /etc/X11/xorg.conf with a minimum https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=922679#17 from this bug report. From other post, may not be limited to include light-locker. Searching lightdm nvidia might len...

Here are other issues similar to your, using lightdm... see if there's a clue:
