CUPS Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Fix Available For #Linux. If not fixed yet, please apply it https://ubuntu.com/blog/cups-remote-code-execution-vulnerability-fix-available

Why do I still use "ifconfig" even though it's deprecated under #Linux?

Because "ip addr show" is just too much typing! I'm an old-school user, I like my commands short, sweet, and to the point. Besides, "ifconfig" still works, so why change? It's like using a rotary phone... sure, it's outdated, but it still makes calls!

But seriously, you should probably learn ip properly one of these days... https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-ip-command-examples-usage-syntax/

@nixCraft If you didn't write a meme...

The inability to distinguish between totally different systems means:
They don't know 'man command'
They are inept to use DuckDuckGo
They can't write a 'hello world' in a new language

#bash #sh #zsh #ksh #csh #100DaysOfCode #Linux #POSIX #Programming

Ever wonder what those numbers after command names were, as in date(1) or sshd(8)? Why does man xz(1) have that "(1)" at the end? It's not a typo! It's the section of the manual the man page is in.

Hmm, I wonder if this is actually an issue with tap-to-click not getting disabled when the disable touchpad while typing setting is on in GNOME and/or the StarLite firmware.

I’ve just re-enabled the trackpad but turned off tap to click and I don’t seem to be seeing the problem (and the mouse cursor does disappear while typing, which is did before too).

Hmm… I’ll update the issue and fingers crossed they’ll be able to fix it for tap-to-click too.

Right, disabled the trackpad entirely and I can at least type again.

Thankfully, it’s a tablet (although you can’t use it for programming – at least in Terminal, e.g., with Helix – in tablet mode because the on-screen keyboard in GNOME does not have all the keys you need. e.g., ESC is missing. Kind of a biggie when using a modal editor) so I can use the touch-screen if I need to (not ideal ergonomically when using it docked but goodness it feels good to be able to type again.

If you have the @starlabssystems StarLite 5 Linux tablet and the touchpad on the magnetic keyboard doesn’t disable when typing for you (didn’t for me, although I’m on the latest firmware), see the fix here:
