I am fairly new to working on Linux/Ubuntu and I came across the statement Application need to start with root privilege, then drop the root

I am wondering what does the above statement mean?

Also when I executed the application binary, I could see the following statements being printed on the console

I just started up a HP Pavilion x360 I haven't used for a couple of years. It runs Ubuntu from 2016 dual boot with Win10 and works fine. But I can not upgrade to 2018/20. Different errors. I wish to make a new install and keep the home partition. The 2020 Live USB works fine.

I would like to use a single queue block layer with kernel 5.7.0. Google says I can add "scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=0" to boot parameters for the purpose.

I have the archer-t4u wi-fi usb adapter, recently bought it after discovering it has total Linux support. Is it there anyway to make it work on the latest Ubuntu LTS release? The official website for TP-Link drivers only provides drivers to the old 16.04 LT release

When the host OS is Ubuntu 16.04 or RHEL 7.x, the following command is working, helping us to run systemctl commands on the host from within the docker container:

# nsenter --mount=/hostroot/proc/1/ns/mnt -- systemctl start dummy.service

But in the newer host OS-es, Ubuntu 20.04 and RHEL 8.x, this doesn't work and we get the following error:

# nsenter --mount=/hostroot/proc/1/ns/mnt -- systemctl  ...

I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, and immediately after system restart the screen kept blinking on and off. I 'solved' the issue by lowering the resolution (not my favorite). So ultimately the problem is with a reso of 1920x1080, which the my television supports (worked fine before).

Recently installed Ubuntu Touch onto a brand new Pixel 3a; installation seems stable and no issues present. However on boot the phone reminds me the bootloader is unlocked still. Is it possible to re-lock the bootloader? Specifically without reverting the install or bricking the phone (or will I have to keep the bootloader unlocked permanently)?

So, after spending a few days setting up my music library just the way I wanted it... I made the dumb decision to play around with the auto-mount settings in the disks utility which has broken all the functionality of the music library I built.

Previously, the HD containing all of my music files was in /media/Cactus/Etc/Music and because of the new auto-mount instructions, the folder is now in /mn ...

I know this question has been asked a lot, but I've always been led to the same answer which is not resolving my issue.

The solution that's provided is usually along these lines:

~$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties;
~$ sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php;
~$ sudo apt-get update;

And it's done! But not in my case unfortunately.

So after executing the  ...
