Since updating on Ubuntu 19.10 I have to copy a text twice to insert it. This issue occurs when I want to copy a password from a file opened inside LibreOffice Writer to Firefox.
How can I solve the problem?
I am copying yocto build linux image to sd-card from Ubuntu 14.04 system. The command is:
$ sudo dd bs=4M if=filename.rpi-sdimg of=/dev/sdX conv=fsync
What does mean here of
conv=fsync
I red from here
Synchronize output data and metadata just before finishing. This forces a physical write of output data and metadata.
But I did not understand by this line. What is mean by synchronization, metadata and what will be the effect if I do not include it in the command.
How is it different from fdatasync which only synchronizes output data.
I don't know why it's happening only to me. Whenever copying bigger or sometimes smaller < 1GB files from PC to pendrive literally gets stuck at the end.
When copying or moving files on Ubuntu 17.10, I can't see any progress bar. I checked as well all opened windows but I can't see any progress window.
Please any ideas or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
I want to cp a file to another directory but that directory doesn't exist yet.
So I would do:
mkdir /new_place
cp the_file /new_place
Can I do this in one?
I imagine something like cp the_file -m /new_place if "m" stood for "make dir's that don't exist"
Would this be a chance to use scp, rsync or another copying utility?
