Police, this guy right here.

Even your title isn’t the true beginning. Before the terminal, there was just a printer. Teletype, was it?

I followed a number of guides to try to get it to work. Including doing that. No dice.

I still think it’s probably user error on my part, but I’m still shocked there was no command to effectively “force run an unattended upgrade now” to test that it works correctly.

The OP did it in the wrong order. First do update to refresh, then do upgrade to install.

There are even better ways built into the shell, but I can never remember any of them. I also never thought of history|grep, I think I might actually remember that one. Thanks!

It’s through Update Manager (mintupdate) for me, but I definitely feel like the happy guy looking out at the nice view.

I never got unattended-upgrades to work for me on the machine I tried it on. Best I could tell, it just didn’t do anything. It was frustrating.

But many years back I set up my raspberry pi with a cron job that was effectively (if not literally) apt update && apt full-upgrade && reboot and that seemed to be working just fine.

that’s why I edited

Yeah, I’m kinda sick of seeing this false information on this sub the linuxmemes community. It’s a surprisingly common meme subject somehow

Among many other reasons, this is one more why I always prefer to use a GUI than a terminal shell. The default delete operation is just sends files to trash, and that’s easily undoable. I think you can even press Ctrl+Z to do so (can’t check atm).

I don’t even know how to do that from commandline.

(one online search later…)

There’s a package for that but best I can tell there’s no universal way.

I have to assume that most cats would stay away from it. It’s loud and scary!

My cat certainly hides from it, by then, she hides from just about anything

I don’t even get it and I’m really trying

What the hell is wrong with all of you? Command names obviously use - and not _

Right. I guess I consider that a relatively niche usecase. But on second thought I suppose it’s not that niche once you include hobbyist musicians and that kind of crowd.

I wanted to make the analogy of every tech YouTuber reviewing a laptop or non-high-end PC saying “you’re not going to be rendering long videos on this thing” as if that’s a relatable use case. No, YouTuber, that’s not something most people do on their computers! Most people probably never do it in their life, or only a handful of times ever.

But as I said upon more thought I realize that’s not the case with midi.

Maybe I’m missing something obvious but how often is midi used in modern days?

Forget the “legal” process (which is skipped). I wouldn’t be surprised if just the salaries of all the ICE officers and the cost of their operations is significantly more than $1000 per immigrant captured.

The cost of the flight is probably not really saved either because they have to physically deport the ones they’ve captured anyway.

And yet I still think it’s a trap. Call me a cynic.

Not American, ELI5?

@[email protected] okay, I won’t be vague. I’m from Israel. Not hiding it, you can find out pretty easily from my comment history.

And in case you wondered, yes, I find the genocide in Gaza abhorrent and unacceptable. This is not the place to talk about this though so let’s leave it at that.

Quite the opposite!

I’ve never seen ChromeOS. I think it’s just not a thing in my country.
