A: Capture separate _and_ combined stdout/stderr Each file descriptor can only point to a single file. File descriptors can be duplicated such that both point to a single file, but a file descriptor cannot point to two files. Hence, you have to decide whether stdout points to out.txt or to both.txt, and similarly with stderr. Of course, y... (more) |

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... (more) |

This seems to be hard enough that even Debian's [`annotate-output`](https://packages.debian.org/sid/devscripts) doesn't do it.
Contrarily to what you claim, Zsh also fails to preserve the order in `both.txt`, as my tests confirmed. From https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Doc/Release/Redirection.html, "the... (more) |

@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"). (more) |

A: Scalable fonts are not loaded into the X server database Further digging led me to this post on the FreeBSD forum, in which a user says that > The functionality of the freetype module is contained in the libXfont library.

Scalable fonts are not loaded into the X server database I have some old X11 applications complain that they cannot find a ISO8859-2 font. So I executed grep -r 8859-2 /usr/share/fonts/ and, to my surprise, found many matches, for example ``` ==> /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/fonts.dir /usr/share/fonts/unifont/fonts.dir <== unifont.ttf -misc-unif...

A: Disable transient symbols for compose and dead keys in GTK programs This is originally Ibus' (an input method) behavior. It provides some facilities to extend the basic "input by typing". Examples: - `Ctrl+Shift+U` for hex Unicode input. - `Ctrl+.` for emoji selector. Now, to complicate matters, GTK has its own input method too, which is inspired in Ibus, an... (more) |

| Question | — |
Disable transient symbols for compose and dead keys in GTK programs An article in the GTK blog explains the situation very well, but here is my go at it. In my keyboard layout, accents are handled as dead keys, so to insert "ë", first I type `¨` and then `e`. Nothing happens on the screen until the very last step, at which point `ë` is inserted. That, however, ... (more) |

A: What does capital T mean in the output of 'ls -l'? The reason why you don't find this in `man ls` is that the GNU project (that developed Coreutils) usually provides the complete documentation of its components not in classic manual pages, but in so called Info documents (for more context, see Unix & Linux: What is GNU Info for?), and that is indeed ...

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...

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. Unless you really don't want a recursive traversal under `.functions.d` on Bash, only in Zsh (that's what the script is trying to... (more) |

Yup, I also feel that way towards Windows (well, non-free software in general) and Smartphones, so I would also prefer never to see those questions.

I deselected a package and changed my mind. How to select it without re-emerging? I executed emerge --deselect xournalpp , which means "I don't need the `xournalpp` package anymore", so it can be removed by a future `--depclean` action in case Portage figures `xournalpp` is not a dependency of any other installed package. Hence the aforementioned command does not unin... (more) |
