This should print the files on /tmp/ (one per line):

for f in "/tmp/*"; do echo $f; done;

But it prints them all in one line (one round of for).

any clue?

Seth

Try:

for i in $(ls /tmp/); do echo $i; done;

Lucio

4:05 AM

that works

but the other should too, or not?

Braiam

@Seth done

Seth

@Lucio Bash is weird ;)

Braiam

@Lucio no, you are essentially trying to execute anything that has the executable bit in /tmp

the way for it to work is for f in $(echo /tmp/*); do echo $f; done;

Lucio

AUXPATH="/tmp/*";for f in $AUXPATH; do echo $f; done;

^ this works

Q: Possibility to add a feed of all recent answers to chat rooms

Many beta-sites suffer with a problem of voting. Code Review is one of them. We at Code Review have realized that it is hard to vote for answers that you're not aware of, therefore some of us (no monkeys named) posts a link to a recent answer every now and then in the chat. Instead of us posting...

@SimonAndréForsberg it's a feed

@SimonAndréForsberg chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/info/201/…

Simon André Forsberg

11:04 AM

oh, ok. then that didn't help :/

kalina

how so?

if you want to list all recent questions to chat just add codereview.stackexchange.com/feeds as a feed to your channel

your meta post says answers though

Mahesh

All answers would be an overkill.

you are going to be flooded.

but if you can find a feed, you can add it.

I don't think there is a all answers feed, though.

kalina

@Mahesh pretty sure codereview is a low traffic site

Mahesh

Umm, yup. I didn't consider that.

Simon André Forsberg

11:23 AM

Well, we have started to see a major increase in Code Review traffic lately. Still far from the level that AskUbuntu has though

But we have a specific chat room for "answers feed" some of us used to post new answers manually there, from the stack2rss feed.

And what I mostly would want right now is to see new answers on the Meta page in the chat room.

Speaking of high traffic, I noticed that AskUbuntu seems to have about the same level of traffic as SO. I asked a question yesterday, one hour later it was completely gone from the front page, and had only about 7 views.

@Dan In review, yes. Not in the revision history.

That could be an edit suggested by a now-deleted user.

So, it used to be a user, has since been deleted, and their suggestion is now mapped to Community instead.

@AvinashRaj the simplest (though hacky) solution would be to move /var/lib/xkb/README.compiled somewhere else, then diff the files to see if any changes were made and move it back or not as appropriate

Avinash Raj

7:28 PM

yes @terdon shall i post that in my answer

terdon

@AvinashRaj feel free. It's just not generally a good idea unless you know what you're doing. In this case, it's just a readme but if the conflict were on a more important file you could have issues.

Avinash Raj

yes

terdon

@AvinashRaj oh and @Braiam is quite right, your solution would remove the x server and that's not really a solution.

Avinash Raj

@terdon yes it would remove x server so i ask to run all the commands in virtual console

There may be a chance of mistaken by people if i post your comment as answer.

terdon

@AvinashRaj that will make no difference whatsoever. Virtual consoles are real, they just don't run in X. Running your dpkg command in a tty (which is what "virtual consoles" are called) would have the exact same effect as running it in your normal X session.

Your answer would simply completely remove the X server and the OP would not be able to do anything unless they know their way around the command line.

Avinash Raj

7:36 PM

@terdon is there any other answer for that question.

Braiam

@AvinashRaj another sane solution is figuring out which package is offering /var/lib/xkb/README.compiled (I'm guessing is some HWE package, like xserver-common-raring) remove it and then upgrade the package

terdon

@AvinashRaj my guess is that he has screwed up his sources.list and is getting different versions or something attempting to overwrite the same file. The main point is that your "solution" will only make things worse.
