Answer A: How can I use Remote Desktop to connect to a sleeping Ubuntu machine and wake it up?
With the help of some community members in chat (thanks!), I was able to solve this and learned stuff in the process. I'm not the first person to run into this issue; there is a Gnome extension that fixes it. I didn't know Gnome had extensions. To deploy this, first install the Gnome extension m...

Comment Post #292746 The laptop is running and I'm logged in. After a while, the screen turns off and RDP doesn't connect. If I type anything on the laptop the screen comes back on and I need to type my password to unlock (not log in). If the RDP service starts at login then it should still be running. I'm assuming t...

Question How can I use Remote Desktop to connect to a sleeping Ubuntu machine and wake it up?
I have a laptop running Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS that I would like to access with Remote Desktop (or VNC)[^1] from a Mac. I found the Ubuntu system settings to enable Remote Desktop and am able to connect from the Mac using the RDP client published by Microsoft (vaguely named "Windows App") when the Ubunt...

Answer A: How do I find out the version of a program in a terminal?
Many programs have a `--version` option, so that's the first thing I try when I need to find this out. If that doesn't work, `--help` usually produces a full list of options, so if version info is provided in a non-standard way, that should lead you to it. (Some programs support `-v` for version, b...

Question Should posting on Meta affect reputation?
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorry. Do you want us to change posts on Meta to not award rep for upvotes or subtract it for downvotes? ...

Comment Post #288259 @#61308 thanks. That's a stsrt, but if you could *also* search based on reactions, then you could search for "- worksforme", and being able to do those kinds of searches could encourage more use of those reactions, and none of that would depend on one specific person coming back to mark answers. We...

Comment Post #288259 Thank you for this detailed analysis. I think the points you make about where people drop are key. We don't have accepted answers but we do have reactions -- not random emoji stuff but ones like "works for me" and "outdated". This allows people other than the asker to provide these signals. Unf...

Answer A: See "works for me" indicator in list of questions?
This isn't an answer so much as some information related to your question. We have an open GitHub issue to add searching on reactions. We can already search by post type, category, user, score, and other things, so this seems a reasonable extension. We haven't gotten to it yet, though. That w...

Answer A: How do I safely replace brew on Big Sur?
Since asking this question I've updated to 12.2 (Monterey), but it's the same problem on either. I was nervous about blowing away my existing `brew` installation, even if I first captured a list of packages that I'd need to reinstall. I found a blog post about installing the M1 version of `brew` ...

Comment Post #285187 The same tag can have different meanings in different domains, so if you had one huge Q&A bucket for everything, you'd end up with tags like "apple-computers" vs "apple-fruit" vs "apple-records". And "editing" means something different on Writing than it does on Meta. Probably "annotation" means so...

Comment Post #285187 We have favorite tags, and elsewhere there's been a suggestion to have the opposite, "ignored" tags. Ignored wouldn't necessarily mean *completely gone from view*, but if questions with tags you're not interested in (and not tags you are interested in) were minimized in some way on the question list...

Question How do I safely replace brew on Big Sur?
I'm still trying to solve my problem with installing Ruby on a new Mac, and some discussions are saying that I need to reinstall `brew` because of the change from the old chipset to the M1.

Comment Post #284966 Thanks. I thought you were using a Mac too, which is why I asked if you have the binary. I assume that if RVM had the binary it would be in their own binaries link (and the command would have downloaded it instead of trying to build from source).

Comment Post #284966 The only difference I see between your `rvm` command line and mine is the quotes and the exclusion of "ruby" in the version. (I got my command line from some output from RVM.) `rvm install` with any of `"ruby-2.6.6"`, `ruby-2.6.6`, or `2.6.6` all produce the same output: `No binary rubies available ...

Comment Post #284956 Thanks for the tip. I found my readline; it's 8.1.1, which brew says is the latest. I haven't found anything yet about what version RVM depends on; is it possible that it depends on an older version and there was a breaking change? (That sounds unlikely for something as widely used as RVM, but I c...

Question Installing Ruby on MacOS 12.2 (or 11.6) produces compilation errors in the downloaded source; how do I fix?
A project I want to work on requires Ruby. I was directed to RVM or rbenv. I tried `rbenv` first because it has Mac instructions, ran into failures, uninstalled it and installed RVM, and still ran into problems. I am not sure how to debug. Details: I am on MacOS 12.2 (was 11.6 when I first ask...
