Just keep “hollywood” running in another terminal at all times.

Install and run “btop”.

You could scroll down to the screenshots on the GitHub page, but I had a friend recommend btop to me and seeing it for the first time running on my own machine was an experience. Highly recommend.

10 year old bug?

What are they talking about, that bug report is from 2014‽

… Fuck

One key problem with forced arbitration clauses is that company chooses and pays the “neutral” arbiter, who is inevitably biased against the consumer.

I was helping you there and asked you to back up configs and post some information.

Once you’ve done that I think actually getting things back the way they should be will go fine.

I didn’t know TWAIN, so I looked it up and am glad I did:

TWAIN: Technology Without An Interesting Name

Like me, that user wants to use ISO-8601 format for dates.

I didn’t see that option in the screenshot. Anyone know if that’s possible in this Beta?

What version of Ubuntu are you using?

What is the output of the following command?:

dpkg -l | grep grub

If you urgently want your grub menu to default to the first entry that can be done first, but unless that’s needed I’d prefer to get to the root of the problem(s) and get a proper fix.

This should get you back to defaults:

sudo cp /usr/share/grub/default/grub /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub

At some point you definitely did accidentally write to /etc/default/grub when you meant to write to /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

There’s no shame in that; Grub’s configuration process is very confusing and counter-intuitive.

Everybody who has used Linux long enough has stories of breaking their systems in sillier ways, and this didn’t even really break your system 🙂.
