Why would: kate "file1_ps_-aux.txt" "file2_dmesg.txt" "file3_printenv.txt" & kate "${_FL1}" "${_FL2}" "${_FL3}" & work?, but stringing the file names using a loop wouldn't? I need to keep somehow declaratively the files read in by kate at start up, so I thought of using an array: # _FL1="fil

No space left on device ...

I have been mounting an NTFS file system on a Windows laptop without any problems whatsoever with a Debian Live DVD: $ uname -a Linux debian 5.10.0-18-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.140-1 (2022-09-02) x86_64 GNU/Linux and even though Linux utilities are telling me I do have space on the drive: $ date;

This is not a debian question per se (more like a Linux bash one), but I wasn't able to find an answer on the Internet. Here is first the problem I am having before you start reading a conspiracy theory into it ;-) I need to somehow map URL on the web to a local file, but you can't do that for

I always use a Debian live DVD while exposed. The thing is that in order to squeeze every minute of attention I possibly can I tend to: a) just close the lid of my laptop b) while keeping the DVD player attached to the laptop c) then, reopen it and continue. That way I avoid like 5 minutes of
