| Custom Command Line Recycle Bin |

I've made a script to put a file or folder into a recycle bin instead of a deleting it with rm (which could be problematic if you make an error).
In a file called usr/bin/trash, I've put the following:
Code: #!/bin/bash
# move a file or folder to a __trash__ folder (within the same directory)
if [ "$1" = "" ]; then
echo "You need a file or folder name.";
exit 1;
elif [ "$1" = "/" ]; then
echo 'You cannot put "/" in trash.';
exit 1;
fi
trashParentDir="$(dirname $1)";
mkdir -p "$trashParentDir/__trash__";
mv -vft "$trashParentDir/__trash__" "$1";
exit 0;
Then I created 2 aliases:
Code: alias rm="trash"
alias empty-trash="sudo find / -depth -type d -name \"__trash__\" -exec rm -r '{}' ';'"
When using rm, you actually put a file or folder into a __trash__ folder within the same directory. (Note: it will overwrite a pre-existing file of the same name previously 'deleted')
In case of a mistake, just move the file out of the __trash__ folder.
When using empty-trash, you delete all __trash__ folders on the computer. You need root privilege to do so.
You could make a Cron job to empty-trash regularly.

Some feedback for the program Linux Lite Updates (LLU) on LL 4.4.
I encounter a special case where I had to answer a question before updating and, of course, the program couldn't handle it, so it ended without updating. I ended up doing a 'sudo apt update' on the terminal with the following output (the question I answered is on line 16):
Code: Hit:1 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic InRelease

Afterwards, I was able to upgrade the 16 packages with LLU.

Hi,
I have LL 2.8 installed and want to install a dual boot with WinXP on the other partition. As there are many tutorials explaining how to make a dual boot starting with a windows installation I would like to do the contrary. From a sole LL installation to a dual boot with a windows on another partition.
Thanks

I am thinking to upgrade my RAM.
Here is what Linux tells about my current module:
Handle 0x003C, DMI type 17, 40 bytes
Memory Device
Array Handle: 0x003A
Error Information Handle: Not Provided
Total Width: 64 bits
Data Width: 64 bits
Size: 8192 MB
Form Factor: SODIMM
Set: None
Locator: DIMM B
Bank Locator: BANK 2
Type: DDR4
Type Detail: Synchronous
Speed: 2400 MT/s
Manufacturer: Micron
Serial Number: 128BADF8
Asset Tag: 0F161800
Part Number: 8ATF1G64HZ-2G3B1
Rank: 1
Configured Clock Speed: 2133 MT/s
Minimum Voltage: 1.2 V
Maximum Voltage: 1.2 V
Configured Voltage: 1.2 V
Why does "speed" and "configured clock speed" differ?

I've tried both on a dinosaur laptop (had a single core Intel Celeron CPU, 512MB RAM... like absolute dinosaur). Lubuntu doesn't seem well supported at all, it looks like an operating system made for a RasPi (ugly and a pain in the ass find files and programs because there was no search bar in the menu) and it ran SLOWER than the more modern feeling Linux Lite. Is there something I'm missing or is Lubuntu just terrible?

| LL2.8 - what's the risk in continuing to use? |

I have an 10" Samsung netbook (single core Intel Atom [email protected]; 2GB RAM).
LL2.8 is the last LL release that runs well (without noticeable lag) on this machine.
What is the risk in continuing to use this LL release on this machine, even though it's past its 5-year life-cycle ?
I only use the netbook for downloading & listening to podcasts (using Clementine) and watching TV programmes (using VLC media player), while on the move. So yes, I do connect to the internet with this machine.

(bummer - I've ordered all my linux distros I've tried from there - since I don't do well with terminal).
