Why crackmonkeys should not be allowed to own tech

by BorgLabs - Kate Draven

Is there an rpm or apt-get comment that can batch remove repeat rpms. The old version of rather. A dimwit neighbour decide not allow synaptic to finish updating and force shut it down to go watch football (american). Now he keeps getting warnings of multiple rpm versions. I can't go fix it for obvious reasons. So I'm hoping to give him some command that would resolve this. Otherwise, he has to drop off. He's "extremely social" if you know what I mean. Sadly he's a good old friend's son, I can't really say no. This is the same person who decided his new snowblower could clean his "short" drive way without engine oil. Why crackmonkeys should not be allowed to own tech... I know I'm going to end up having to do it, but I thought I'd ask. Kate

Idiocracy was a great movie and sums him up very well. He's like the guy the protagonist meets when his tube crashes into the apt. A wee bit better spoken though. As for the smart phone thing, it's true. There have been studies. Cheers, Kate

devicemapper problems.

by BorgLabs - Kate Draven

Hi people (and others) Ok so in order to mount an add on devices like ext HD, I need to run multipath -F to clear mount points. Otherwise it says the mount point is busy. So here's how it goes. I have hotswap bays installed. If take out one drive and insert and other I get the typical msg Unable to mount this device. Potential reasons include: Improper device and/or user privilege level Corrupt data on storage device Technical details: org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error mounting /dev/sdj1 at /media/Preview1: Command-line `mount -t "jfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sdj1" "/media/Preview1"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: /mnt/Preview1: /dev/sdj1 already mounted or mount point busy. Then, as root, I run multipath -F and all it good. It just started doing this, this morning? Anything I should look for? Kate

kmail fonts suddenly fubar

by Gene Heskett

Greetiings all; I normally, because of 86 yo eyes, use a bold font in about every selection of the appearance list. But for several days now, I am stuck at a normal font. It shows the bold ok in the preview line at the bottom, and clickiing apply blinks the selected window text as it refreshes, but its the normal very skinny lines font that is actually used. Any idea what I should check? This happened ay about the same time the composer grew a list of icons on the upper left corner of its screen.

spam & untrimmed quotes versus endless whining

by William Morder

Let's see, I count 6 spam emails, then 8 more (including this one) to complain about spam, failure to trim quotes, general whining, and my own complaint about too much complaining. I have not counted Slavek's emails, because he was acting in his own part. This happens every time, and we waste more words on complaints than the spam that started the thread. Maybe we could just stop doing this? Bill

No documentation for kMail templates

by J Leslie Turriff

Can anyone explain the rules for defining templates in kMail? There is no mention of them in the Handbook. I have written a little script called SystemID that prints the following information | openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64 | Qt: 3.5.0 | TDE: R14.0.9 | tde-config: 1.0 and added a line at the bottom of the template for emails going to this list: | %SYSTEM="SystemID" but as you see below, only the first line gets written. Also, I'd like to understand how the Quote Indicator string in the Templates tab works; it doesn't behave the way I'd expect. Leslie openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64 --

Trim Quotes

by Felix Miata

Not trimming quotes down to relevant material is no less bad than quoting spam. Quoting 29 lines to write two words about spamming is unnecessary, even abusive, and no less archive pollution than the spam itself. -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.
