10 minutes? That’s it. That’s easily a 3 hour time sink.
Well, in this case, it was a graphical program that was doing it, and I really could’ve recognized that the file was being created by that. I had just kind of forgotten that I opened this graphical program a few days ago on a different workspace…
OP is clearly boasting about how smart they are.
Only 10 minutes? Those are rookie numbers
Or pro numbers, depending on how you look at it.
I’m curious you’d see it in ls -l Did inode change? I remember making the same mistake. I think everyone sees this sometime during the career
The inode does change, yeah:
The regular
ls -ldoesn’t show the inode on my system, though. I only realized it when I had assigned more permissions to the file and those got reset by deleting the file. The last-modified timestamp also gets updated each time, but I only spotted that afterwards…Give me your dotfiles or I will sneak into your home and tie all the sleeves of your shirts into knots
If you ask because of the powerline shell prompt, I’m using Starship with the Gruvbox Rainbow preset: https://starship.rs/presets/#gruvbox-rainbow
You do need a NerdFont for this, as gets mentioned in the Starship installation guide. I’m specifically using the NerdFont variant of Fira Mono here, but you don’t have to use that for this setup.
(I made some light customizations to the preset. If you specifically want those, you can have them, too, but I only set this up two days ago, so I don’t know yet how well it works.)
That’s a pretty terminal! Mind telling how you did it?
I posted the info here: https://lemmy.ml/comment/8568878 🙂
lsof is a good tool would recommend it whenever something weird is happen, tho you gotta be root for it
Another is checking modified time of the directory
It’s usually 10 mins to debug, and 3 hours explaining, categorizing, identifying the scope of it exists everywhere else…
Kinda similar. I remember having a file I could t delete. But I could move it to a new folder and delete that folder and the file would delete.
