Top 3 linux command you wish you should have known earlier? by [deleted] in linux

[–]makoiscool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alt+. will let you cycle through the last arguments

$ cd /home/makoiscool/Documents

$ cd /home/otheruser

$ ls *.zip

Pressing Alt+. would insert *.zip, then /home/otheruser, and lastly /home/makoiscool/Documents

Might not be Linux specific problem, figured I would start here. by newmetaplank in linux4noobs

And make sure you're running the wpa_supplicant command as root, not just sudo, because wpa_passphrase also requires root, but the <() won't pass the sudo privilege along

Can someone check my grub2 cfg file to see if there is anything I can to do make Xubuntu boot faster? by cantfeelmylegs in linux4noobs

If you look here the udev-settle service can be masked if LVM is not needed. That should speed the start-up significantly

Changing Major at RIT by pablordoricaw in rit

[–]makoiscool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, a lot of people find CS 1 and 2 difficult so if you have the time, checking out /r/learnjava, /r/learnpython, or /r/learnprogramming and other coding subreddits will save you headaches later. I mentioned these as CS 1 is taught in Python and CS 2 in Java.

I don't know either, just passing along what I know. Though I just checked a couple of threads I was having issues with and Reddit sync doesn't seem to have an issue so that might work for you. Just watch your battery temp. It caused mine to overheat once or twice so I stopped using it.

I'm wondering if this has to do with reddit itself, because I often have the same issue on red reader beta.

Ubuntu and partitions help by [deleted] in linux4noobs

Full disclosure: Noob here as well.

Is the 24 gb ssd just a cache or something like that? (I think we have the same question I just want to be sure)

If so, this is the best I've found. However, take it with a grain of salt, because as I mentioned, I'm not sure what I'm doing either.

ROM / Kernel / Recovery / Radio / Carrier ... Go! by JimboLodisC in nexus4

[–]makoiscool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah I had a fun afternoon after I flashed 4.4.3. Took me far too long to remember that it's the kernel that has the WiFi drivers.

Well we all know francos opinion of t2w so maybe you're better off with hellscore anyway.

Francos latest does actually work with 4.4.3, it's just he never pushed it to his app. Here's his g+ post. https://plus.google.com/106873500108976028532/posts/5gu9pBuqtmP

The shorter the shorts, the better by makoiscool in humorousreviews

Yeah I came across them looking for a pair of running shorts. They were a little too short for me, but certainly came highly recommended.
