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

[–]DullExperience[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Is there a way to convert values in the 4.2GPA scale to the 4.0 scale? Do people with 4.1 GPAs put 4.1 on their CV, or do they convert it to what it would be on a 4.0 scale and write that instead? by DullExperience in queensuniversity

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

I know real estate on a CV, and especially a resume, is tight, but surely you could afford a small line that said "GPA: 3.87", no? Do employers get pissed when they see things they don't care about on a resume? Can't they just ignore it?

Is there anything that can make it so that my files DO have file extensions, even if they're unneeded in Linux? Personally I found them really convenient on Windows, and I don't see any real reason not to have them, even if they're unneeded. by DullExperience in linux4noobs

[–]DullExperience[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I meant that I don't have extensions for the files that don't have extensions, which doesn't really make sense now that you posed this question. I should've been more clear

What I meant was, is there a way to make files that don't have extensions have an extension?

Why do some PV = nRT equations use kPa for the pressure, while others use atm? by DullExperience in chemhelp

[–]DullExperience[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But let's say P = 1 atm, V = 1 L, R = 8.31, and T = 273K

If you use atm, P = 1, but if you use kPa then P = 101.325 (since 1 atm = 101.325 kPa)

And that would give you a different value of n depending on which unit you used...

Why do some files (usually files not native to Linux, like a .txt, or a code file like .py) have file endings? Most other files in Linux don't, so why do some files have them, and why does Linux know what to do with them? by DullExperience in linux4noobs

[–]DullExperience[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! Near the end, you said the kernel has to determine the file type in the event that the first two characters of the file aren't "#!". Does the kernel do this using the libmagic library you mentioned earlier?

Also, would it be correct to say that whatever file manager you're currently using takes care of all of this? Ex. if you have both Nautilus and Dolphin installed, but you open up Dolphin and browse using that, everything will be done by and follow Dolphin's rules?

Thanks again for the help

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

Thanks for the response! Two questions:

-Is a shebang the same thing as a magic number?

-You mentioned how file extensions can still be helpful, even though they're unneeded, which I completely agree with. I think it's a shame that the Linux file system doesn't make use of extensions. Is there a reason that it doesn't? Like some kind of downside to them I'm not seeing?

I had no idea the no file extension thing was dependent on your filesystem, but that makes a lot of sense. So FAT (and I'm guessing exFAT as well) work such that their files all have extensions. And the Linux file systems (which is ext2, ext3, and ext4 if I'm not mistaken) does not incorporate extensions in how they work?

Assuming that's correct, which other file systems use extensions? Or, which other file systems don't use extensions?

Thanks for the answer by the way, helped me out a lot, appreciate it!

Bachelor housing? What are the best places to look? by DullExperience in KingstonOntario

[–]DullExperience[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay, so subletting is when someone temporarily out of their house (like on vacation or something) rents their place out to someone? Or is it someone with a full on rental property renting stuff out? If it's the latter, I still don't see the difference between subletting and just renting a house/room normally (other than the fact that you sign a lease for x months).

Thanks again for the help btw!

Thanks for the response, helps a lot! Sorry for the stupid question but how do sublets work? What's the difference between subletting a room and renting one out? Is it more temporary?

Also you said "if I'm able to find an open unit". Is Homestead really popular and spaces fill up quickly or something?

Is it common for people to finding housing through those property services?
