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
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’ve ended up using calculus and trig for programming multiple times.
You may be able to draw a circle without math, but teaching a computer to draw a circle requires an understanding of math.
All of machine learning is rooted in linear algebra, rust is a very practical programming language that gains most of its power through category theory.
You don’t need to know high level math to be a successful developer, but it can really help in many areas. I can’t really think of how to categorize which areas high level math is more or less likely to show up in, which I guess itself kind of supports my point.
Just understanding what a derivative is and what an integral is can help you determine what problems are solvable and what aren’t, and let you think ahead about what information you might want to hold onto in your data structures. ( Think about what the +C in this integral represents in the real world, and what data you need to pin that down concretely ).
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?

Sorry again. I wrote this last comment (and this one, TBH) from my phone and “–iso=s” should have been “–iso-8601=s” . I’ve edited my comment and the command should now work (Making a backup of your grub.cfg containing the date, to the second, in the filename. I did that to hopefully avoid you running the same command again after trying some fixes and accidentally clobbering your backup).
Ahh, sorry.
For Fedora it looks like the default /etc/default/grub looks like this:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet" GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true
( Taken from https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/how-to-regenerate-etc-default-grub/72677/9 )
If you’re using LVM / LUKS you may need additional kernel parameters, like resume=… for suspend to disk to work properly.
Please, before doing anything else, post the output of the following:
cat /proc/cmdline
And make a backup of your existing grub.cfg with:
sudo cp /boot/grub2/grub.cfg /boot/grub2/grub.cfg-backup-$(date --iso-8601=s)
Also, be sure that you have a LiveUSB on hand. You don’t want to be SOL if we break something and can’t boot again without fixing it first.
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 🙂.
Pulseaudio used features of sound cards (most prominently the hardware read pointer) that ALSA/dmix alone never used.
ALSA/dmix could allow you to get the same power savings as pulseaudio if you set the hardware ring buffer size to, say, 2 seconds.
And that would be fine of you were just playing some music, but if you were also chatting and wanting to get prompt notification sounds they would always be delayed between 0 and 2 seconds depending on where the hardware read pointer happened to be when the system tried to play a notification sound.
ALSA/dmix could also allow you to set a tiny buffer size. Then your music would play, and your notification sounds would play promptly too. But if you were just playing music your CPU would never be able to go into the lower power sleep states because it would need to wake up every centisecond to service the tiny ring buffer.
That would kill your battery life.
Pulseaudio’s (terribly named) “glitch free” audio feature was the first solution for Linux that allowed you to get power savings and low-ish latency. Your mp3 player filled up the ring buffer once every two seconds, and if a notification came in pulseaudio would look at where the hardware read pointer was, take the contents of the buffer that was just about to be read, and mix the notification sound into it, writing the newly mixed sound data to the buffer just before the sound card read it.
So, from the user’s perspective nothing interesting seemed to happen, but they get better battery life and things like notifications or game sounds work like they expect them to.
ALSA drivers would commonly advertise support for accurately and precisely reporting the position of the hardware pointer, but since nothing actually used that info before, many drivers gave incorrect results, which would only cause problems when using pulseaudio.
Wubi will get you that Windows + Linux in the same partition achievement.
No.
This is a vulnerability which allows bypassing secure boot protections. You have already manually bypassed those protections by disabling secure boot.
Please be sure to check that the smart switches you have space heaters plugged into are rated for that many amps.

The comment I was replying to was specifically talking about autism.
" I think that’s the “proper” term. I mean what’s been known as low end autism or asperger)? "
Sounds like the neurodivergence you’re describing is autism, so the preferred term among autistic people (like me) is “autistic”.
Just keep “hollywood” running in another terminal at all times.
