Answer A: VISUAL=gvim makes crontab -e open a new crontab instead of a current one
Specific answer: Use `gvim -f`. General answer: Use the non-forking mode of your editor, i.e. if you run it in a terminal, it should wait until the editor is closed to return back control to you. Explanation Look in crontab.c, starting at `switch (pid = fork())` line. Cron creates a tempo...

Comment Post #289649 Indeed, but then the intention is not to prevent the error as your phrasing poses, but to be able to search in directories that are only readable with different privileges.

Comment Post #289649 "But the way to prevent the errors is to use sudo find." Another common solution is redirecting: `2>/dev/null`, as rarely one really cares about those files or directories not accessible to his user.

Comment Post #289653 Since you mentioned environment variables in the question, I ask: Will `SOME_ENVAR=foo gedit` in Exec actually work? Did you try that? I have suspicion that it needs to be written otherwise.

Comment Post #289544 Gnome is not specially known for its documentation. Broken links all around, [methods, properties etc. with "no description available"](https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/vfunc.Paned.cycle_child_focus.html)... So I'll take a wild guess and say there is none.

Answer A: Where does GtkFileChooserDialog store bookmarks?
For most users, in `$HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks`. Otherwise, if you set the `XDGCONFIGHOME` environment variable (which you can inspect with `env`), in `$XDGCONFIGHOME/gtk-3.0/bookmarks`. From the source code: ``` static GFile getbookmarksfile (void) { GFile file; char filename; ...

Comment Post #288789 `man 7 signal` says you are right about that, but with the map from signal number to signal name, which it also provides, I do not think that prevents one from elaborating on how to read that field (but of course that's up to you). Though, to be fair, the manual does not really mention how to decode ...

Comment Post #288789 I think the answer could be clearer as to how to read SigCgt. That is a hex bitmask, dd would output (after all is set) ``` SigCgt: 0000000000000202 ``` That in binary is ``` 0... 0010 0000 0010 ``` So, at that point in time, dd is catching signals 2 (INT) and 10 (USR1).

Comment Post #288453 This provides a different interpretation of the problem (and I do not say this is a fault in the answer, only in that the question was not specific enough), namely that here `./abc.part` results in the deletion of `./abc.foo` but not `./d/abc.bar`.

Comment Post #288562 Although the answer is accurate, I think the asker is confused because there is a misunderstanding in the question itself. `b\+` is actually the correct way to match "one or more 'b'" for that default GNU Sed invocation, that is literally what Sed must "see" — note however this is not standard, as...

Comment Post #288558 Thank you for writing an answer. However, I'm afraid I wasn't clear enough. I don't want to see the full change logs, but the full changes, as in `debdiff p-1.dsc p-2.dsc`, usually the diff of `debian/{rules,control}` and so on.

Answer A: Vim key bindings not working in terminal python interpreter
Python's interactive interpreter uses GNU Readline, so Bash's line interpreter, not Zle, which is Zsh's. Therefore, when you enter `python`, the cursor either won't change or will change accordingly to what you have in `.inputrc`, which is GNU Readline's initialization file. Likewise for the Vi or...

Answer A: Recursively remove files with the same name as the ones that end in `.part`
It is incorrect for two reasons. 1. File names containing glob characters This is an edge case scenario. Consider this structure: ``` . ├── abc ├── abc.part ├── cde └── ce.part ``` The outermost Find will find - `abc.part`, so `base=abc` and the innermost Find looks for files ...

Comment Post #287563 You say "programmatically manipulate". Does that mean that you would be willing to modify its source code directly, or do you mean writing some external program that would affect the state of the bar?, such as one with Appindicator, as r~~ mentions.

Answer A: Preserve the sources extracted by dpkg-source so as to save time
From `man dpkg-source`, -ss Specifies that the original source is available both as a directory and as a tarfile. dpkg-source will use the directory to create the diff, but the tarfile to create the .dsc. This option must be used with care - if the directory and tar...
