From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How the hell do I set up my NAS (Synology) and laptop so that I have certain shares mapped when I'm on my home network - AND NOT freeze up the entire machine when I'm not???
For years I've been un/commenting a couple of lines in my fstab but it's just not okay to do it that way.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fstab#External_devices
looks like this will do it. no-fail and a systemd timeout
Aha, interesting, thank you. So setting nofail and a time out of, say, 5s should work... but what then when I try to access the share, will it attempt to remount it?
This is also what I'd like to know, and I think the answer is no. I want to have NFS not wait indefinitely to reconnect, but when I reconnect and try going to the NFS share, have it auto-reconnect.
edit: This seemed to work for me, without waiting indefinitely, and with automatic reconnecting, as a command (since I don't think bg is an fstab option, only a mount command option): sudo mount -o soft,timeo=10,bg serveripaddress:/server/path /client/path/
In the terminal, why can't i paste a command that i have copied to the clipboard, with the regular Ctrl+V shortcut? I have to actually use the mouse and right click to then select paste.
(Using Mint cinnamon)
Try Shift+Insert. That's my preferred pasting method in most scenarios.
This is a really great question and it was something that tripped me up back in the day!
The answers above cover it already, so upvoting hoping it's more visible. Thanks for asking it. :)
What usually also works on Linux is selecting text with the mouse and pasting it by pressing the middle mouse button (or scroll wheel). You'd still need the mouse, but it's at least a little quicker ☺️
Due to some old school terminal things. Add shift to shortcut combinations, such as Ctrl+Shift+V to paste.
The terminal world has Ctrl+C and Ctrl+(many other characters) already reserved for other things before they ever became standard for copy paste. For for this reason, Ctrl+Shift+(C for copy, V for paste) are used.
Does Ctrl+Shift+V work?
