Too soon to be deciding before knowing the results. You get to it when you get to it!  |

In this context, the character is called a " pipe", and is an instruction to transfer data from one command to another command.
Here it takes the output from the smartctl command and passes it as input to pastebinit (which is a command that uploads text to a website).
Since your location says Missouri you're presumably in the US and using a US keyboard layout, in which case the key should be between between backspace and enter, and will require pressing shift.
(On UK keyboard layouts, the backslash/pipe key can be to the left of Z, and on other layouts it can be elsewhere.)
An alternative option is to use " >" to instead write the output to a file (which you can then attach using "Manage Attachments" button), e.g:
Code:
sudo smartctl -x /dev/sda > /home/user/smartctl_sda.txt
(In general, the benefits of this method (writing a file) is that it doesn't require an active Internet connection on the machine running the command, and also you can check the contents for sensitive information before uploading it.)

Okay, I found the pipe, which appears as two upright dashes on my keyboard.
I will try the last command sent to me to run smartctl.

When typed, make sure it is solid and not a broken bar - they are different characters.
You can safely test this with:
Code:
$ echo test | cat
test
$ echo test ¦ cat
test ¦ cat
If you get the second result, your pipe character is on a different key.

The result of entering the command was to discover "pastebinit" not installed. I installed it.
Code:

tomgirl@tomgirl-OptiPlex-790 ~ $ The program 'pastebinit' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:

I would suggest simply capturing the output to a file instead of trying to send to pastebin (my personal preference is to not use that anyway, others will have other choices).
To capture the output to a file follow boughtonp's advice above, something like this...
Code:
sudo /usr/sbin/smartctl -x /dev/sda > /home/tomgirl/smartctl_sda.txt
Here the '>' character will redirect the output of smartctl into a file located in your home directory. You may then upload that file here inline (doing so also assures it will not disappear over time so future visitors can follow the discussion in one place).
If you want to see the output scroll by as it is sent to the file pipe it into the tee filter...
Code:
sudo /usr/sbin/smartctl -x /dev/sda | tee -a /home/tomgirl/smartctl_sda.txt
The pipe will send it to tee which will "tee it off" into two streams, one to your terminal and the other to the file (the -a will append any existing file rather than overwrite it).

Now you are getting to the desired point!
I will defer to others with more knowledge to interpret what they see here.
One additional suggestion is to edit that last post and put the data inside [CODE]...[/CODE] tags. Doing so will preserve indentation and provide other visual clues which make it easier for others to comprehend. You may write those yourself as shown, or use the # button available with Advanced edit options. (A complete list of BBCode tags is always available via a link near the bottom of every thread view).
Here is an example: Typing this [CODE]Here is some formatted text[/CODE], square brackets and all, will preserve internal whitespace and appear like this...
Code:
Here is some formatted text
The first one is called an opening tag and begins the block of text, the second is a closing tag and ends the block. Dont miss the '/' which differentiates between openers and closers!

There must be a space after sudo in the first case, and the pipe replaces the angle bracket, does not follow it in the second.
Learn to be precise! |

Comment #57 provided two different links to explanations how to do so. Until that's done, I won't be looking at it. Without the original formatting, it's too hard to read the parts that matter.
Please don't pollute threads with off topic matters (irrelevance). This means installation processes. Report that you installed something if you think it matters, but leave out the details, unless the problem has to do with attempting to install something that fails. |

To all,
I have never done anything like this in my life, so mistakes are being made. I apologize for any and all. Perhaps I should leave this stuff be so I don't mess up my computer.
