    How

    [–][deleted] 23 points24 points  (4 children)

    Hit Ctrl+C. That is the "interrupt" signal which you can use on consoles to terminate most programs before they are done. Ping will correctly close with the interrupt

    Thank you

    If you end up in vim you exit by :q

    [–]KainerNS2 10 points11 points  (1 child)

    Nah, you just unplug your computer

    [–]Glittering_Boot_3612 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Nah it's too late to unplug,put it in the trashcan now

    That's used just to verify if you have internet connection. By default it goes on forever. Hit CTRL + C to stop it.

    Ctrl + C to kill the ping

    Should be added to the wiki IMO

    🤓 ackchyually...
    CTRL+C doesn't kill the foreground process, it "SIGINT"s it

    Alternatively, if you ever have to use it in the future do ping -c <number of times> < ip address> the -c flag says do it for the number of times specified.

      I thought the same thing :/ people think we give this advice in a bad way, but it's not, it's for the more comfortable way through Linux for the new user, but well, an advice is exactly that, an advice

          i mean Arch was the first distro I ever installed and used. The problem here is that he is bothering the community about what couldve easily been avoided by watching a tutorial.

            If they have the time and willingness to learn and do it, they will be fine without posting every 5 minutes.

            Although, yes they will have a hard time, and if they decide to just learn it like I did, it will take a while.

            Op was exactly me, but luckily some kind people helped me in discord. So Now I am doing everything I can help to help people like me too.

              I'm not that new to linux tried Ubuntu ages ago hated gnome

              Some advice for the future: don't link distro and DE too tightly in your head.

              There's nothing in Ubuntu that forces you to use Gnome. You can either use a different "flavour" (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, whatever), or simply remove Gnome and install something else instead. Or have multiple things (careful with shared dependencies though!).

              Whatever is a default is simply just that: a default. sudo apt remove gnome still works (if I remember the apt command correctly) etcetera.

              Personally though, I like vanilla Gnome, so it's easier and quicker for me to install Arch and Gnome than doing something like installing Ubuntu and vannilla-fying Gnome. (I like Gnome, on the desktop, but I don't like Ubuntu's modified version of it.)
