You are using the wrong tool; ignore cut, use awk.

awk '{print $1,$5,$6}'

When I do that, my terminal just hangs and I have to reboot.

What? - I suppose you know that this is just a replacement for the
cut process, and there's some pipeline commands (as given in the OP's
post) to prepend? sudo fdisk -l | ... | awk '{print $1,$5,$6}'
If that hangs on your system something on your system must be defect.

Well, at least we are making progress. At least I don't have to reboot.

If you ask a Trumper who is to blame for the debacle of Jan 6, they will almost certainly say
something about Antifa/BLM/something/whatever. This shows just how screwed up they are; they can't
even get their narrative straight. What they *should* say is "Eugene Goodman". If not for him, the plot
would probably have succeeded, so he (Eugene) is clearly to blame for the failure.

Your replies to my posts here are pathologic in several ways.

Foremost you know enough about awk and Unix that there's no need at
all to play the fool in the first place.

Then you seem to deliberately play the stupid to not understand that
my "You are using the wrong tool; ignore cut, use awk." was meant as
a suggestion to replace the cut part by the posted awk part, the one
I posted.

Finally if you really would reboot when entering a command that waits
for standard input you're hopelessly lost.

Have you forgotten to take your medicine or why are you unnecessarily
in sociopathic mode again?
