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.

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.

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 #287370 Yes, I am familiar with Git, and though unfortunately not all of the packages are maintained in version control system (and tagged by version), that's certainly a good solution in many cases. Thanks for the answer!

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...

Answer A: How do I deal with a "pending update to "snap-store" snap, close the app to avoid disruption" notification in Ubuntu 22.04?
If snap-store itself is preventing the update, it's straightforward: snap-store --quit sudo snap refresh snap-store But sometimes it might be something else, in which case the above solution won't work. In which case the general solution is to first run `snap refresh snap-store`. It w...

It takes a long time to build even the source package for a PPA of a huge project, and while the build isn't finished my computer is under heavy load so I can barely navigate a browser.
