This may sound like nitpicking, but do you by "new" mean a _different_ IP address than the current one, or is renewal of the existing lease also acceptable? (more) |

A: What does the "Valid" column mean in the output of "faillock"? A good explanation is given on the RedHat Customer Portal. TL/DR: The `Valid` field indicates whether a record counts toward the lockout threshold (`V`) or not (`I`). The key seems to be the meaning of the `failinterval` configuration setting. From the manpage of `faillock.conf`: > `deny=n` > >... (more) |

Please consider adding the (possibly anonymized) output of `ls -l` for that file to your question, so that we can see what the current owner/permissions are (for easier interpretation of the error message).

A: Simplest way of stripping leading/trailing whitespace from file or program output If I understand you correctly, you want to skip empty lines at the beginning of a file/stream strip leading and trailing whitespace of non-empty lines skip empty lines at the end of a file/stream.[]() This can be achieved using the following `awk` program: ```lang-bash awk 'NF==0{if (m) {b...

In order to avoid getting answers that you already know won't work, please expand the question to add more details: Did you try with `sudo apt install` and got any errors? If not, how do you conclude that `mysql-server` cannot be installed that way? Is there any other method you tried?

A: Should posting on Meta affect reputation?

Split "installation" into "OS-installation" and "software-installation" I would like to recommend splitting the "installation" tag into one for "OS-installation" and "software-installation". Although both are installation processes, the challenges associated with them are very distinct, which I believe justifies the new tags. The impact can be kept minimal by simply r... (more) |

@Quasimodo Funny, I had never noticed that GNU `sed` implements something like `\+`. Now that you notified me (thank you, btw), I looked up the documentation and - of course it's written there. I should include a notice on that in the answer.
And nice to see you (and many others, as I found out), to... (more) |

— | 6 months ago |
| Comment | Post #288562 |
Be careful, `+` is [ERE syntax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression#POSIX_basic_and_extended). However, when invoked without the `-E` flag, `sed` will use BRE, which doesn't know `+`. There, you would need to use explicit range indicators as in `\{1,\}` (and here, the `\` would actually ... (more) |

A: Can I enter raw strings in fish to avoid escaping regexes for sed? It is not the most elegant solution, but you may be able to use the `string escape` function of `fish`, as in: ```lang-shell echo abc | sed -E (string escape 's/b+/X/') ``` This would still escape the special characters, but in a "hidden" way - the user-visible RegEx is not cluttered with backsla...

A: How to get number of files in directory A solution I often use (and which is ultimately a variation of the `find`-based approach in the answer by Canina) also uses `find`, but only prints a single `.` per file: ```lang-bash find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -printf '.' | wc -m ``` It then uses the `-m` flag of `wc` to print the number of char...

| Comment | Post #288311 |
You may want to add a warning that parsing the output of `find` is strongly discouraged, because it will stumble on filenames with non-standard characters, which can actually include the new-line (although the most common pitfall in these scenarios is the space character). The `parallel` approach usi... (more) |
