A: What are IUSE flags? IUSE flags are simply the list of available and default USE flags for a package as defined by the Ebuild maintainer. Definition IUSE is defined from a developer's perspective in `man 5 ebuild` (not `man ebuild`!): >IUSE > > This should be a list of any and all USE flags that are l... (more) |

What are IUSE flags? Every Gentoo user knows USE flags. Occasionally I stumble upon IUSE flags, for example, `man emerge` mention them in the description of an option: > --newuse, -N > > ... > > USE flags may be toggled by your profile as well as your USE and package.use settings.

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...

What does `emerge --update --newuse --deep @world` have to do with package removal? In Debian-based distributions, one can update the system with `apt upgrade` and cleanup unused dependencies with `apt autoremove`. Period. On Gentoo that is apparently not as straightforward. From Gentoo Cheat Sheet: Package removal: > The recommended way to remove a package is by using `em... (more) |

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) |

| Question | — |
Why does the file command fail to recognize non-text files as such? POSIX defines - Text file as > A file that contains characters organized into zero or more lines. The lines do not contain NUL characters and none can exceed {LINEMAX} bytes in length, including the \ character. - Line as > A sequence of zero or more non- \ characters plus a ter... (more) |
