Re: Avast Antivirus
@wassa350: What happens inside a virtual machine, stays within the confines of the virtual machine. Since you browse the web using whatever browser you use in the Windows guest, any infection only affects the guest. Also, as long as the host machine's directories are not exposed to the VM, you shoul...

Re: Help for making a simple script
... The simplest way is copy over the fonts once they're installed on the server. The fonts are in the /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts directory. Copy them over via sneakernet to the local user's $HOME/.fonts directory (which has to be created first, of course), then fc-cache -fv to force-u...

Re: C or Bash?
I did mean a standard user. As a standard user, Bash will suffice. Every Linux user will encounter one form of shell scripting or another, sooner or later anyway. C -- although touted as a [one of several] general-purpose programming languages -- is more geared towards developing simple as well as ...

Re: Why does Copy&Paste remove Carriage Return?
1. I don't think copy-paste is the culprit here. Most likely when you saved the copied.txt file, you didn't notice the option to change the line ending from Unix/Linux to Windows. The default option is Unix/Linux. 2.It shouldn't be an issue. You copy-paste the text from Pluma to the website form, an...

Re: Audacity recordings location
Once you save an Audacity project file (.aup), a folder bearing the same name appended with "_data" gets created alongside it. E.g., a project file named "my-one-hit-wonder.aup" will have a folder named "my-one-hit-wonder _data " created in the same location where the p...

Re: Cleaning up and shrinking a PDF file
AFAIK, a fine-grained control to shrink a PDF file embedded with scanned text (as opposed to typed text) and images is a manual and potentially laborious process. But in the end, you may end up with a smaller and cleaner PDF file suited to your exact specifications. You can use GIMP to import the PD...
