**We have an intern in the IT department, fresh from college. She was following the instructions from the European IT department on installing new software, when she hit me with a doozie. “Where is the return key?” We have all heard the “any key” joke, so I won’t repeat it here. This got me to thinking. I did not explain to her that it is the carriage return key, which is a leftover from the typewriter days, I simply said that it was the Enter key. (I would probably get a blank stare at the mention of a typewriter). This is the problem I have with abstraction. Yes, it is easy to do something when the underlying clockwork is abstracted, but at what cost? Monkey see, monkey do? Are we all going to be turned into button pushers, to get our treat? Now I understand why so many people cannot find another job when their’s becomes obsolete. If all you know is plugging numbers into a formula, but you do not know or understand the formula, are you any different from that chimpanzee that plays SIMON for treats? This is what the modern economy wants from you. Your computer is old / slow? Throw it out and get a shiny new one. Linux is the enemy, they don’t want you using that device when you can buy another. Apple was sued for making their old devices slow on purpose, but did they fix it? No. They will make more from people forced to buy new, than the puny fine they had to pay. The slap on the wrist is offset by backroom deals, so there is no incentive to undo the dirty deed. Linux may run on a dead badger, but Apple will try their darndest with hardware to stop you...** | **We have an intern in the IT department, fresh from college.

+ | **Q: TLDR version: I can’t find my swap partition in Ubuntu 20.04. I usually increase mine to make hibernation work better. What do I do now? | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: I have not switched to 20.04 yet, I was waiting for 20.04.1. I did some duckduckgo surfing and came across this, hope it helps: https:// | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | R : Je ne suis pas encore sous la 20.04, car j' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Q: Is there a way I can boot Arch, Ubuntu, Kali, Mageia and Windows graphically so I can test out distros, and my mom can use Windows, cause she is dumb and can’t use anything else. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: I am not going to comment. You can try rEFInd. https:// | ||

+ | **Q: I want to replace my HDD with an SDD because it is slow. I don’t want to lose my data and I don’t want to reinstall. This is a laptop, so I don’t want to have to buy an external caddy. I have a ASUS X543 with ubuntu 18. Thanks for the help. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: I have bad news for you. A SSD will only increase your boot speed. I looked up the laptop and the bottleneck is the CPU. You can try maxing out that thing’s memory and disable the swap file, as entry level laptops usually cannot take much memory and a swap file will kill a SSD slowly. As for your question, if you do not want a caddy, you can get a second drive bay that sits in the CDROM’s place. You can also clone your drive to a big USB thumb drive or even clone it over the network.** | ||

+ | **Q: At the recommendation of the GNU group, I installed MuPDF, but I don’t see any controls. What did I do wrong? | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: MuPDF does not have any; you use your keyboard and mouse. That is how SumatraPDF was born, built on MuPDF.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Q : Suivant la recommandation du groupe GNU, j'ai installé MuPDF, mais je ne vois aucun contrôle. Qu' | ||
+ | |||
+ | R : MuPDF n'en a pas ; vous vous servez de votre clavier et votre souris. C'est comme ça que SumatraPDF est né, construit sur MuPDF. | ||

+ | **Q: Hey. I am new to Ubuntu and wanted to know if Ubuntu can do snipping tool? | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: This question is not as simple as it seems, you see there are many screenshot tools, but none come with built-in annotation & drawing. Those that do, like Flameshot, are not simple and easy to use. I would suggest trying to find something you like from this list: https:// | ||

+ | |||
+ | A: There are no special instructions, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Q : Merci pour l'aide que vous m'avez déjà donnée. Je suivais les instructions du paramétrage d'une sauvegarde pour mon serveur Ubuntu. Elles disent de créer un « disque de sauvegarde ». Comment faire ? | ||

+ | |||
+ | A: I suggest you do not use any. But if you really want a DE, I suggest Raspbian and Kodi. But otherwise I would suggest OSMC. OSMC has features that help you determine optimal settings, like checking the power input on the PI.** | ||

What do I do now? | + | **Q: ubaid0, [23.08.20 20:50] If you don’t want to answer, it is OK, but how do I defeat Mac address banning with macchanger to be automatic? Go to the setting. |
- | A: I have not switched to 20.04 yet, I was waiting for 20.04.1. I did some duckduckgo surfing | + | A: Macchanger is great, but did you know your stock standard network connection setting has an option to randomize your mac address every time you connect? Go to the setting that says “cloned mac address” |

I have a ASUS X543 with ubuntu 18.

- | A: There are no special instructions, | + | A: This is a common error; Geany allows you to set which version of python you are going to use. By default, it will call the ‘python’ command, which equates to Python2. You need to go to ‘build’ -> ‘set build commands’ and just edit python to python3 under ‘compile’ and under ‘execute’. ** |

It is just for movies and series. | + | R : Il s'agit d'une erreur habituelle. Geany vous permet de choisir la version de Python que vous utiliserez. Par défaut, il appelle la commande « python », qui équivaut à Python2. Il faut aller à « build » -> « set build commands » et remplacer python par python3 sous « compile » et sous « execute ». |
- | A: I suggest you do not use any. But if you really want a DE, I suggest Raspbian and Kodi. But otherwise I would suggest OSMC. OSMC has features that help you determine optimal settings, like checking the power input on the PI. | ||
+ | **Q: Can you help me? I made a mistake with a PPA. I am not good at the command line. Now when I try to update, I get an error. I don’t know how to fix it. I am on Xubuntu 18. | ||
- | Q: ubaid0, [23.08.20 20: | + | A: Easiest way for you is to add synaptic package manager with “sudo apt install synaptic”, then open synaptic and go to settings -> repositories -> other software. Find the faulty PPA and un-tick the entry. If you cannot, you can look for “software and updates” in the menu, and do the same. (I am not sure if this is in all the flavours of Ubuntu, but it is worth a try first as it does not require any installation).** |
- | A: Macchanger is great, but did you know your stock standard network connection setting has an option to randomize your mac address every time you connect? Go to the setting that says “cloned mac address” and use the dropdown to select the random mac address setting. | + | Q : Pouvez-vous m' |

+ | A: You lost me with ‘whole process’, you can simply open your start menu, type mouse, and open the “mouse and touchpad” settings, the third tab is “Themes”. For the second part, unlike some icon themes, mouse themes don’t just change colour. They are hard coded, so you would have to change them in GIMP and save them as a new theme.** | ||

Open in XFCE terminal? but how? | + | R : Ce « tout le processus » m'a rendu perplexe : vous pouvez tout simplement ouvrir le menu de démarrage, tapez souris et ouvrez les paramètres « souris et pavé tactile » ; le troisième onglet est « Thèmes ». Pour la deuxième partie de votre question, les thèmes de la souris ne changent simplement pas de couleur. Celles-ci étant codées en dur, vous devriez les changer dans GIMP et les sauvegarder en tant que nouveau thème. |

+ | A: Yes, and a SSD will. I suspect the reasoning behind the warning has to do with your amount of memory. When you have little memory, Ubuntu swaps in and out of a file or partition. However, since this file or partition has to be stationary, it cannot be moved about on the SDD to mitigate wear and tear. It is like chafing an area on a carpet, for instance. If you chafe randomly, the wear is even, but you can burn through one spot very quickly. Generally SSDs have a longer lifespan than a hard drive, but they are very weak if you chafe one spot continuously. ** | ||
