Question: I have a lenovo t420. When I unplug my charger, it gives me an estimated time. But the estimate is very, very off. It will say like: "Estimated time left: 40 hours". What is causing that?

elias_a 2017-02-28 00:06:44

@cfhowlett ?????????
k1l_ 2017-02-28 00:07:08

elias_a 2017-02-28 00:07:29
And this is quite newly reinstalled.
alex73 2017-02-28 00:07:41

I suppose gnome-terminal settings are saved in /home/user ? I'd of course like them to survive reinstall and so forth.

hey, i'm new to Linux and i have question. What's the best way to copy *large* files from ubuntu computer to external hard drive? i guess ctrl-c and ctrl-v is not reliable. pls help.
cfhowlett 2017-02-28 00:39:29
masami, the copy command is cp ...
masami 2017-02-28 00:40:47
cfhowlett: do you know gui app for that? so that there's something like indicator to let me know when copying is finished
cfhowlett 2017-02-28 00:41:22
masami, terminal time: man cp will give you all the details, but the --verbose option will display progress
k1l 2017-02-28 00:41:33
masami: first look if your filesystem on the external hdd can make use of that big files (like 4gb limit on fat). then you can use the gui file explorer and use crtl+c and ctrl+v. but you can use rsync if you want to be very sure
k1l 2017-02-28 00:42:12
masami: why do you think the file browser is not good for this?
masami 2017-02-28 00:43:03
cfhowlett: i type terminal time: man cp on terminal? like that?
cfhowlett 2017-02-28 00:43:20
masami, yep.
cfhowlett 2017-02-28 00:43:35
first the dash >> terminal

open the terminal and type man cp
