Perhaps you have an alias or some such in the way? Try *command find ~ -name .bashrc* On Thu, Oct 4, 2018 at 11:52 AM Rich Shepard wrote: > On Thu, 4 Oct 2018, David wrote: > > > Try this: > > > > find / -name 'stripes.png' > > > Not sure it will do anything different, > > David, > >

Re: [PLUG] Password keeper

I use Keepass2 for my work. I don't trust keeping my DB online, so I have it on a USB drive. I can insert the USB drive into any computer that has Keepass2 installed, including my Android cell phone. I use an OTG USB cable to allow me to mount the USB drive to the Android phone. My only issue

Re: [PLUG] ls -d does not work as it should

My memory may be failing me. I'm pretty sure I used '-d' to get a listing of all entries in the cwd that are marked as directories. So if I $(mkdir foo bar baz) and then use 'ls -d' I expect to see "./ ./foo ./bar ./baz". On Mon, Jun 25, 2018 at 4:18 PM, Steve Christiansen wrote: > On

Re: [PLUG] Experiences with USB "null modem" cables.

Richard, Is there a reason you don't use point to point RJ45 ethernet? If a PC has USB it almost always has RJ45 ethernet. If neither side has MDIX then RJ45 crossover cables are available to complete the connection. Why do you have an affinity for USB cable solutions? On Thu, May 31, 2018 at

Re: [PLUG] Some how my system boots into text mode

Ken, What happens when you 'sudo /sbin/init 5' in order to get to graphical multi-user mode? Ben, I disagree about GRUB. The line that loads the kernel can have a run level value assigned. I have a unit in the lab that I boot to multi-user command line by adding a literal 3 to the kernel. If

Re: [PLUG] Some how my system boots into text mode

Are you sure you didn't change GRUB to enter run level 3? Check your grub.conf file (or whatever it is called), and check for a solo "3" and change it to a "5", which is the run level for UI. On Wed, May 30, 2018 at 11:01 AM, Ken Stephens wrote: > Ali, > > Thanks, but there is no

Re: [PLUG] The end of Mint KDE edition

So much for installing a dual boot Mint 18.3 I was about to perform. At work I use FC28 with KDE, mainly for bleeding edge, and for libre'ness. At home I want something that has better media support. I'm not a fan of Gnome, and I've been unable to comprehend Unity (haven't tried that hard TBH).

Re: [PLUG] Emacs: which shell for code debugging?

Richard, Is there a reason you don't just use M-x pdb ? This allows you to run pdb in the same way as you would run GDB. Emacs will keep track of your current program location in another window. I use this method for the limited amount of Python work I've done to date. Johnathan Mantey

Re: [PLUG] New computer

That doesn't say what was on the other end of the HDMI cable at the monitor side. It could have been attached to VGA for all we know, even if that is unlikely. It does at least prove the new computer has a functioning HDMI output. This implies the monitor may not have auto-detection of the

Re: [PLUG] New computer

One issue I have run into with a 4U server is that the BIOS was configured to only output on the on-board VGA output. This despite having a PCIe graphics card. Since you are relying on the on-board graphics you may want to get a VGA monitor long enough to alter your BIOS settings. Obviously

Re: [PLUG] Emacs: sort-paragraph deletes strings from some paragraphs

Have you checked to see if your data contains values that get successfully match the regexp within the paragraph-start or paragraph-separate lisp variables? Perhaps there are some whitespace characters (TAB, or FF) in unusual locations in the data. In my experience CSV always has an irregular

Re: [PLUG] Emacs org-mode

Rich, IMO, the naming structure of your tags is a personal decision. Every person is going to have a different opinion of the *appropriate* way to create their tags. Can you clarify what you are after with respect to issue #2? Where the tags are located, is once again, up to you. You can
