Check with 'blkid' whether b0fb4364-429c-4573-b0a0-7bddb6bb37ca is the correct UUID of the root partition and whether /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-161-generic exists (it is not the latest version available on Trisquel 8). The change will not be persistent. If it works, executing 'sudo

I typed out the following from a screenshot. One of my debug steps was to follow a blog post that had me look at the different drives to see which one had the linux install on it. I think it was hd2,gpt2. I looks like in the below that Trisquel is trying to boot from hd0,gpt. I feel like I

Thanks for all the great feedback! I'll post the fifteen lines here this weekend, try things in the Fixing a Broken System link, and report back.

The options are usually categorized and listed in alphabetical order. It would be especially weird if 'sort' would not respect that order! Notice that the introduction of 'info uniq' includes that sentence: If you want to discard non-adjacent duplicate lines, perhaps you want to use

Magic Banana quoted the magic words: "used by itself, -u causes 'uniq' to print unique lines, and nothing else" Put another way: Uniq -u skips duplicated lines altogether. Sort -u needs to be mentioned earlier on the man sort page, as it will handle unpredictable outputs reliably. Thanks are

Again: 'sort -u' equates to 'sort | uniq'; it does not equate to 'sort | uniq -u', because "used by itself, -u causes ‘uniq’ to print unique lines, and nothing else". There is no need to reverse engineer 'uniq': just read its documentation: $ info uniq

Following up, I noticed a pattern among the outputs of| sort | uniq -u versus | sort u: The three files that I evaluated had 26.1GB, 12GB, and 2.0GB, repectively, among 1. The original file, the result of grepping about 10GB of nMap output files, with many duplicates; 2. The | sort -u

According to 'info uniq': ‘-u’ ‘--unique’ Discard the last line that would be output for a repeated input group. When used by itself, this option causes ‘uniq’ to print unique lines, and nothing else. 'sort | uniq' does the same as 'sort -u' but is slower (and longer to type).

Which Wacom device are you trying to get to work? What do you have to do in order to get it to work? In the past once you have gotten it to work does it work consistently? I've had lots of mixed results with Wacom devices in the past so I might be able to give some clues.

Hi! My recommendation is to do the following: 1. install Guix package manager 2. through Guix package manager install `openvpn` 3. download the OpenVPN config file Mullvad offers on their website 4. use openvpn to connect to your VPN using the downloaded config This works very well for me
