  1. [ubuntu] Re: External HDD with UAS driver checking disk health

    Are you sure you need to use the -d sat option? Sometimes it isn't needed with USB.

    a) Seagate 2TB HDDs have a poor reliability record. Some models failed 4x more often then the competition. ...
  2. Re: I can't figure out how to get full screen. Please help!

    Not really a Linux question. Mostly a VMware question. I haven't used VMware Workstation since the 1990s, but almost all of the GUI-based hypervisors like it work the same way.

    First, the actual...

    [ubuntu] Re: where to put / store iptables-ks.sh

    PrivateVPN has provided you with specific instructions for a script they created. Only they know what "use it" means or where it should be placed. iptables-ks.sh is just a name for a file they made...
  4. Re: How to set up Linux to run like PuppyLinux without Password(s)?

    This is a terrible idea and you are likely to break your computer.

    To allow logins to happen automatically, it is dependent on the DE and the login manager. There will be a config file under...
  5. Re: Add'l drive created by Ubuntu during installation

    I've never seen that, but I tend to setup more flexible partitioning than most people, so I don't know the "minimal" required partitions for every possible storage choice in every different...

    Re: Problems with installing PuTTY from source

    No complaints about using PuTTY on Windows, assuming they've upgraded over the decades to use the correct ciphers and protocols. In the early 2000s, they didn't, but the alternatives were worse, so...

    [ubuntu] Re: Keyring password

    I've never used the "keyring". Never saw a good reason for it, but I suppose if you use the semi-built-in web-app connectors, it might be useful. If you don't use cloudy services, you don't need it...

    [ubuntu] Re: Overnight update brought down nginx

    24.04 **is** bleeding edge for another year, but feel free to have your opinion on that. New releases are always bleeding for at least 6 months.

    [ubuntu] Re: Overnight update brought down nginx

    I patched today and none of my nginx servers were impacted. I run over 20 virtual domains on 20.04 servers. Hopefully, for important things, you aren't on the bleeding edge. That would be crazy at...

    Re: Getting Apps to Stick to Secondary Monitor

    Uh ....

    I came here to suggest using a better DE or not even a DE at all, but a good Window Manager that isn't dumbed down so much like Gnome. Applications aren't supposed to know their size or...

    [SOLVED] Re: rsync hangs

    His rsync is all local, nothing remote, so ssh isn't involved at all. The -vvv option would be a good idea. I didn't look up the other options to know if they make sense with the --delete usage. ...

    [ubuntu] Re: Pause a program in terminal

    Most hypervisors have a "suspend" option on the "Start/Shutdown" menu.

  14. [ubuntu] Re: Ubu on Pi 5 - Am I able to install software that doesn't have a package for me?

    You are out of luck, unless you want to port them to the ARM CPU. Good luck with that. Non-scripted software is compiled for a specific architecture (except Java). That means it expects a specific...

  19. [ubuntu] Re: Cannot connect to Ubuntu with TeamViewer due to screen share prompt

    Exactly which release and which DE and which display server are you using?

    The default remote access should be with ssh.
