What is this weird question?
 

"date -u +%W$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"?

I am facing problem regarding shared dir on guest Arch. So, i tried to register on arch fora. But, it keeps saying wrong answer for this weird question.

How can it be wrong if i am copy-pasting the output from terminal?

date -u +%W$(uname) should return the week number followed by the output of uname. On a Linux system, that should be "34Linux" this week.

If your system returns someting else, the sha256sum will obviously be incorrect.

See here for the explanation:

the first part gives me the same result, 34Linux. And i havent missing any single qoutes.
It just keeps saying,

You need to enter the result of the whole line:This is a test to check that you are using Linux and that you have taken the time to run the command on a Linux machine. If you read the links on the thread I linked to you will see why they do this.

it is clear to me that result of whole line is to be entered; and i have been doing the same for the last 26 tries.
I even stored 34Linux in a file & piped it to sha & sed but same output and same 'wrong answer' mesg.
I even tried 33Linux and 35Linux.

Now i even tried in Arch linux itself & Ubuntu before.
Same output
Are you guys getting something different?

That's what I get also. Suggesting it's possibly your cookie settings or similar rather than the answer.

I'm getting the same hash here.

Thank-you for confirming.
Seems Linuxquestions.org is more newbie friendly with strong support, than Arch fora.

Please, Check this out, if you can help.
