Rude.

Good thread

I recently installed and rooted lineage on my phone. And everything seems to work except for when I try to use the root command line. Instead of special keys doing stuff something like pressing esc just types ^[, In vim this results in pressing i to enter insert mode and seeing the letter i appear in my file in vim. Then I press esc and ^[ appears so it looks like vim doesn't react to these keys but when I type ^[:q! and press return I do actually exit vim. does anybody know how to fix this, I seem to only have this problem in the root command line

I want to get the last two numbers of $RANDOM. How do I do this?
echo $RANDOM

Also recommending any good tutorials, guides, primers on the command line.
I desire to know the key elements.

I mean REQUESTING good tutorials.

echo "${RANDOM: -2}"

Is there something like Openbox that doesn't use fucking xml for configuration?

Sometimes i find my laptop with mint on it randomly turned on (lid closed) after i shut it down. It seems like its suspended but i know i pressed shut down. Why does this happen?
