Dear Sir or madam,
So, We see you write like a bot.
So, We think #1 is YES
So, We say the last question is FOLLOW the release notes on upgrading.
We thank you for the Turing test

uestion is, "How can I make someone else do this with as
little effort as possible on my part?"

It's your machine, you could hack it out? possibly just #comment out and put a
/bin/true under it? Don't blame me if it all goes wrong.
/usr/share/in
a[f] = f in a? a[f] RS $0 : $0
b[f]++ }
END{for(x in b)
if(b[x]>1)
printf "Duplicate Filename: %s\n%s\n",x,a[x] }' <(find -L . -type f)

# and -maxdepth 3 or so to remove the /lib/modules/ clutter
TIA for pursuing the issue, and the attention to issues like this.

All in all, a poor description of the problem, but I'm sure people will
chime in anyway.
Good Luck,

After seeing the struggles you are going thru, and since I see the
incredible effort people make to help you...
IF it was me, I would probably make one good post describing every
machine, keyboard, terminal, monitor, device, hard drive, modem, tablet,
laptop, cnc, or cordless drill you are usin
ion to how much info of what type should be logged, and how to find
things that are logged?

Thanks,

ctly, but I prefer to use the web for now to read the
list. I'll stop answering because you guys all seem to have things under
control, thanks.
I apologize for the annoyance.

I'm confused, did you try the methods you mentioned with no result?
Are you looking for how to solve it, or a clue why it is that way?

Okay, I must have something misconfigured. I could have sworn it worked

to provide the rating for the software
