path problem with sftp
copy files over ssh
Recently I had a bunch of my own scripts for the thumbnails in Nautilus: , , office documents and so on.  Seems like either I’m doing something wrong (thumbnail generation behavior changed), or custom thumbnailes don’t work in latest GNOME at all, even my previous scripts, which worked smoothly on previous versions of Ubuntu.  I’ve done some research, tried to run a simple script (see below) and it didn’t work out.  My test thumbnailer in /usr/share/thumbnailers/z.thumbnailer:  [Thumbnailer Entry] Exec=/home/maximal/thumb.sh %s %i %u %o MimeType=image/webp;image/x-webp   Where /home/maximal/thumb.sh is:  #!/bin/bash echo $0 &gt;&gt; /home/maximal/thumb.log echo $1 &gt;&gt; /home/maximal/thumb.log echo $2 &gt;&gt; /home/maximal/thumb.log echo $3 &gt;&gt; /home/maximal/thumb.log echo $4 &gt;&gt; /home/maximal/thumb.log   Then, when I remove thumbnail cache rm -rf ~/.cache/thumbnails and restart Nautilus nautilus -q, my log file doesn’t contain anything and ~/.cache/thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory contains all the failed thumbs (looks like corrupted/empty PNGs):    So, apparently, Nautilus even didn’t try to execute my thumbnailer script. When I try to run thumb command itself, it works perfectly. For example convert through cwebp|dwebp package:  convert -thumbnail 256x256 file.webp png:file.webp.png   When I wrap this command to a thumbnailer, it looks like it wasn’t even requested to run by Nautilus.  [Thumbnailer Entry] Exec=convert -thumbnail %sx%s %i png:%o MimeType=image/webp;image/x-webp;   Exactly the same situation occurs with other my thumbnailers: audio waveforms, office documents, photoshop files and so on.  Could anyone help? Notepad doesn't open files created by Gedit? What is the name of the genre of games similar to Jetpack Joyride? How can I disable Ctrl+Q for all applications (system wide)? A lot of applications like Firefox, Chrome etc, get closed when I accidentally press Ctrl+Q instead of Ctrl+W because of the proximity of the Q and W keys on the keyboard. Is there a way this shortcut can be removed or reset on a system wide basis? How to fix "The system is running in low-graphics mode" error? Note: This is an attempt to create a canonical question that covers all instances of &quot;low-graphics mode&quot; error that occurs to a user, including but not limited to installation of wrong drivers, incorrect or invalid lightdm greeters, low disk space, incorrect installation of graphics card like ATI and Nvidia, incorrect configuration of xorg.conf file while setting up multiple monitors among others. If you are experiencing the &quot;low-graphics mode&quot; error when trying to login but none of the following answers work for you, please do ask a new question and then update the answers of this canonical question as and when your new question gets answered.   When I try to boot into my computer, I am getting this error:  The system is running in low-graphics mode Your screen, graphics cards, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself.   How do I fix the failsafe X mode and login into my computer?  Answer index: When would you call java's thread.run() instead of thread.start()? If $X^n$ is a diagonal matrix with distinct eigenvalues, then is $X$ also a diagonal matrix with distinct eigenvalues? Removing Firefox in Ubuntu with all add-ons like it never existed I have been using Firefox for a long time in Ubuntu, I downloaded some add-ons but it made firefox extremely slow, even if I remove them nothing will change.  I tried to remove Firefox also, but re-installing it will somehow recover the same Firefox I had- it seems it write some info somewhere that even if you remove Firefox, it will keep them.  Moreover, I am not able to use see any flash videos or website with Firefox(chrome works fine).. Honestly I tampered with plug-in settings in Firefox that this happened. But right now I can't do anything to overwrite the setting...  My question is how I can remove Firefox in a way to remove any previous traces and re-install a new version like for the first time? Is it possible to instantiate an object at runtime if I only have the DLL name and the class name, without adding a reference to the assembly in the project? The class implements a interface, so once I instantiate the class, I will then cast it to the interface.  Assembly name:     library.dll    Type name:      Company.Project.Classname     EDIT: I dont have the absolute path of the DLL, so Assembly.LoadFile won't work. The DLL might be in the application root, system32, or even loaded in the GAC. Ubuntu 20.04 graphics driver problem I have upgraded from Ubuntu 19.10 to 20.04, and now I have a problem with my graphics rendering (strange squares on background and font problems). I use the i915 driver. Graphics card: Skylake GT2 HD Graphics 520. I tried to reinstall GNOME shell and Xorg server. Nothing helped. Also Chrome browser breaks on most of pages. A No-Nonsense Introduction to Quantum Field Theory Split a file by line and have control over resulting files extension generic function with a "has property X" constraint? What my thought was that the bijection was a piecewise function:  $f(x) = 1/n+1$ if $x = 1/n$ for some $n \in \Bbb N$ and $x=1/n$ if $x \neq1/n$ for some $n \in \Bbb N$.  However, the textbook says this is incorrect. I don't actually see why. Was it a matter of brackets or the open variable $(0,1]$, which is what I tend to think. Extending a Homotopy from $X \times [0,1]$ to $X \times \mathbb{R}$ Computation of likelihood when $n$ is very large, so likelihood gets very small? On Windows 7, is there a command prompt line that can start cmd as an administrator? On Linux, we can use  sudo bash   to run a shell as the superuser.  On Windows 7, we can use     Start menu -> (in search box, type) cmd -> Right click on search result and choose Run as Administrator   to run a command prompt as an administrator. Is there also a command prompt line that is like Linux's sudo or su so as to start a shell as an administrator? How to tell the probability of failure if there were no failures? I was wondering if there is a way to tell the probability of something failing (a product) if we have 100,000 products in the field for 1 year and with no failures? What is the probability that one of the next 10,000 products sold fail? I'm not the most experienced person when it comes to commands. I worked out how to do stuff like when holding x you have y effect. I wanted to think of something that gave other people an effect when hit. Here is what I came up with but I got stuck when it said it couldn't execute the command.  /scoreboard objective add nokill dummy  /scoreboard objective add poi dummy  /scoreboard players set [player] nokill 1  /scoreboard players add @a poi 1 {SelectedItem:{id:minecraft:diamond_sword,display:{Name:{Poison sword}}}}  /execute @a[score_poi_min=1] ~ ~ ~ /effect @p[score_nokill_max=1,r=5] {HurtTime:1} minecraft:poison 10 1 I'm kind of stuck in Terraria. I have full silver armor and 12 hearts (gold/silver gear).  I have just killed the Eye of Cthulhu.  I was thinking about gathering gold armor, but gold is damn scarce. I have tried searching for floating islands (at 406 altitude) but if I go to far I get attacked by Harpies, and I can't build a sky bridge and fight them at the same time.  My meteorite landed in corruption and it's impossible to collect it (I get swarmed by meteor heads with no way to run).  So what is the most natural progression? Should I try and find gold (where?), try to kill the Eater of Worlds, try to mine meteorite or try to fight off imps and collect some hellstone?
