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.

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 #288313 `wc` outputs three numbers. Which one should the user consider? The asker wants to find the number of files, not of directories, It seems that this answer will fail for file names containing newline characters.

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.

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.

Comment Post #287418 I'm afraid you can't do that. See `man startx xinit`. You can create a wrapper that writes a xinitrc before launching startx, though.

Comment Post #286318 I'm afraid even that is not reliable either. Something like `cmd 2> >(timestamp_err) > >(timestamp_out)` will inevitably cause a race condition since there are still two concurrent processes. It is not impossible that, in practice, the order of magnitude of the "average delay" between input re...

Comment Post #286318 This seems to be hard enough that even Debian's [`annotate-output`](https://packages.debian.org/sid/devscripts) doesn't do it.

Comment Post #284642 @Canina I meant that making the key a modifier should not change `showkey` output, i.e. the key press and key release events, be it in `--scancodes` or `--keycodes` mode (I don't have `--keymap` available, my --version says "showkey from kbd 2.4.0").

Comment Post #285301 I think looking at `$0` is a simple and portable way to figure out what shell one is running. Since it may be, for example, `zsh` and `bash`, but also `/bin/bash` (i.e., including the directory component), pattern matching with a `case` statement would be the way to go, resulting in a POSIX compliant...

Comment Post #285278 Note that Bash also supports the ** construct. Look for `globstar` in the manual. You could then adapt your statements to work in both shells and do away with the if-elif.

Comment Post #285187 A retractation: I'm no native speaker and thought the word "cruft" meant something different, not "trash, debris, etc." Luckily I just looked it up on time to apologize and retract it.
