I found a mention of the error message in https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/1353#issuecomment-791727836, perhaps it will be useful. (more) |

@#8049 Since `showkey` only prints scan codes, it shouldn't matter if the key is made a modifier or not. It's interesting that you cannot reproduce it. I tried it on a spare old computer and it was the same behavior. (more) |

@#8056 Yes, Gentoo's `lesspipe` also looks for `~/.lessfilter`. Very bad taste if you ask me... (more) |

@#8049 Thanks, indeed the problem was a different environment variable: `LESSOPEN=|lesspipe %s`. So either deleting that variable or using `-L` solves the problem. Would you like to write an answer? (more) |

Point 2 is moot: You can put the Sed script in a file and then the shell doesn't get in your way, all quotes are literal. Can you clarify point 1? Sed does allow multi-line scripts and can even do multi-line operations. (more) |

@#8049 That is great! I never bothered to find out how to get rid of the latency. Also that led me to find an Arch Linux article with some alternatives (answer edited with that). (more) |

Are the dollar signs part of the copied selection? If not, does it not work if you paste it right away in the terminal? In most cases, each newline character should trigger the execution of the line as a command. (more) |

How would unatended-upgrades package figure out that you, as a person, has access to root account? Also, from the `sudoers` file + (if needed) groups info it could figure whether the logged user has full, partial or no sudo rights, but it could hardly figure out whether a user actually has the sudo p...

The question describes that the GTK theme changes. This may be caused by the GNOME desktop environment. If you switch to a non-GNOME environment (no need to uninstall it, rather just don't start it), you might narrow down whether GNOME is to blame by looking at programs that use GTK, such as Firefox....

It's hard to tell what's going wrong. Can reproduce that behavior in a small and simple window manager (e.g. Dwm or Cwm)? GNOME is too pervasive for tracking things down... (more) |

Great answer. I'm just wondering about the necessity of editing the modules files (see, for example, [Modules – Debian Wiki](https://wiki.debian.org/Modules#Automatic_loading_of_modules)). In my Debian system the wireless card firmware is auto-loaded at boot and all I ever had to do was to install th... (more) |

If it contains a non-line, it is not a text file. See for example a more extended answer in [What conditions must be met for a file to be a text file as defined by POSIX?](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/446237/what-conditions-must-be-met-for-a-file-to-be-a-text-file-as-defined-by-posix).

I don't really ask for a Platonic category of file, but for the POSIX category. Most text-processing utilities (sed, grep, awk, ...) assume text files in the POSIX specification. To keep my applications portable, I try to conform to POSIX. But then there are many users/editors that, for example, don'... (more) |

Indeed, I had only read `man 1p file`. To be honest I don't see how the information you bring explains the matter. Note that none of the files are reported as UTF-8, but instead the first three as "ASCII", the next two as "non-ISO extended-ASCII" and the last as simply "data". An important question: ... (more) |

@celtschk Well, `file` is [POSIX specified](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/file.html), so I would suppose it conformed to POSIX idea of what a text-file is. (more) |

@Moshi But then any kind of file would be a text-file, since you could say it contained zero lines. Even a file with a NUL would be a text-file. Instead, I interpret that if the file contains non-lines, then it is not a text-file. In that sense, an empty text file would be the only case for which "ze... (more) |

@Moshi True, I said 0x80 was straightforwardly invalid but it is not. Still, it cannot be the first byte of a valid character. It forcefully follows that neither file 4 nor file 5 are newline terminated or that they have an invalid character. File 3 is also not newline terminated (even in ASCII encod... (more) |
