Yeah a permissions problem causing an error is a likely culprit, when I try again I will take more detailed notes and actually put them in a safe place
Yes, mine has the touch bar. I heard the t2 Ubuntu can give you back the Touch Bar, maybe this will be next distro to try but I’m wary and I just want a computer now lol
I unfortunately misplaced my documentation too, last time I do that. I don’t know if it’s a driver issue because the sound works when I boot up and other computer actions, just not when I play media, not even when I plug in headphones
I don’t have much advice for your wife’s computer other than XCFE on my A1707 made everything all tiny, and Ubuntu in general was too much for it. Before I had Mint Ubuntu on there I tried regular Ubuntu and it wouldn’t connect to the Internet even with a cable.
I’d be tempted to compile myself a very simple C program
I was tempted too. That's why I did that, and bricked my laptop, and had to do a fresh install.
As to where on the system I’d put it, /usr/local/sbin is probably the best choice.
It wasn't the best choice.
Where/when in the startup... the GUI’s Startup Applications
Not there.
If I was really curious
I am no longer curious. I can just type this command every time, no big deal. As for the computer, it's fine for light development work and surfing the net, as long as I don't need sound. I might use it for torrenting, it works for that OK.
For the sake of this comment I had a quick dig around and didn’t find anything obvious on my own machine, but then, this isn’t a Mac nor do I use wireless, which might be hampering my efforts.
Mac is notoriously difficult to install Linux on, even if it's Linux Mint. Not sure what I did wrong, but other people have the same model and I've seen them get everything to work including the touch bar. I wish they'd share their documentation.
The more intelligent someone is, the more their own thoughts and imagination get in their way. People who are "simple" sometimes are more capable of learning from their mistakes, sometimes because their environment forces them to.
I got my wife into Linux after I put Mint on her old Lenovo, and she did some research, also told me Framework was a good brand. :) I got her away from Windows, recruiting everyone I know
They're throwing toasters into washing machines and trying to flush their shoes down the toilet out there on these aircraft carriers, so maybe this turn out, who knows
It is exceptionally rare for popular rebellions to happen without widespread food insecurity.
Not to mention the fact that most of our tax dollars go to the military! They may be incompetent but I don't think the average American is more competent.
I am trying to find something that's basically a mac mini but better... I'm willing to pay more for something that lasts a really long time. I've noticed most of these recommended machines are reparable.
It’s safe but also, they voted for this. They wanted the bad stuff for others, they just didn’t wanted the bad stuff happen to them.
This is true from an emotional perspective, but neither you nor this person understands how our political system works. I mean I don't fully understand it I'm sure, but I do know one thing.
It does not matter who we vote for in the presidential election. We have an electoral college, which has overturned the popular vote on multiple different occasions. The electoral college was instituted when black men earned the right to vote, as a measure to disenfranchise them. By all means vote for someone other than Trump, but that vote doesn't have to be respected.
Correct
