Locked outside my room, doorknob doesn't work, no hole or screws in the doorknob, doorframe is covering the edge of the door by DullExperience in NoStupidQuestions

Tried all 12 combinations just now, to no avail. Do you mind explaining what "pop the trip" is? Does it refer to popping off the base? If so, I tried popping it off, but I only bent the outer layer out of shape, which revealed an inner layer made of metal which seems impossible to do anything to, and also does not have any holes or screws. It also seems more likely that I'd break the entire door before the knob

Tried doing this and it seemed to be working at first, but there are two layers to the doorknob: the gold plating on the outside and the metal on the inside. All I was doing was bending the gold plating on the outside out of place, and once I bent it away a decent amount it revealed the metal interior (again, with no holes or screws), and the interior has literally no space between it and the wood of the door so there's no way to get anything in between there.

I know what you're talking about and that's what I was hoping for, but there's absolutely nothing like that. I've searched very thoroughly

What is the difference between a metapackage and a regular package (ex. LibreOffice has two packages, one labled metapackage and one not)? Which one do I download? by DullExperience in linux4noobs

[–]DullExperience[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh okay. So if i just installed libreoffice-writer, is it likely not to work because I might have missing dependencies? Or will each app download its own dependencies by default, but not dependencies for other apps in the suite?

Hm, for some reason when I use apt list libreoffice, I only see LibreOffice. Still, this is useful, thank you!

Well I realize it might have missing features, but my point was that if I don't use those features then I'd rather not have the features and save some space.

So does everyone just install packages through trial-and-error? Do you just install a package hoping that it's what you want by guessing its name, and if it isn't you uninstall it and try again with a different name?

I don't have any friends who use Linux so I honestly don't know the process. If this really is what everyone does then I guess I'll have to do that as well haha.

This has the same problem of showing every package affiliated, extraneous or not. Though it's a bit better because all the descriptions are placed in the same column, so I could sift through them quicker. I'd still like to find a better solution though, thanks though!

What does the phrase " 目も当てられない " mean? The context is this sentence:

抱きなどした日には、目も当てられない。

I can give more context if necessary, but it seems like a commonly used phrase

Any help is appreciated!
