Very weird situation - I accidently moved root into my home/user folder without really doing anything...I don't quite know how this has happened!! How on earth can this happen with the permissions on root?? I've now been locked out of root.



I almost had a heart attack but I have user access which is good.



However - I'm not sure how I can move the root directory back to / ?? Tried moving it with FileZilla but to no avail.



Here is my directory structure:

Any expert help would be much appreciated!




permissions sudo users root

  • Wow, this is quite odd! Are you sure you cannot move root back with the command line and sudo?

  • Hi Stan - I don't even remember moving root! Crazy - no I haven't tried with sudo - how could I do that from within "user"

    Do you have command line access? If so, use sudo to elevate your access and it depends but I’d guess you’d use sudo mv /home/whatever/root /

  • This worked - was really worried about doing it to be honest! How on earth did I move it? Never mind :)

Displaying single band from multi-band raster using QGIS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP 1 How can I extract a single band from multi-band raster in QGIS?

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
