Thanks so much harsh!!! I will study this and hit Enter after I understand it.
Thanks again, that's epic.
Yea that must be it! It's spitting out just the file name and not the whole path. There is only 1 level of depth, so I want to remove
- ./folder1/file 3
- ./folder1/file4
- ./folder2/file11
- ./folder2/file12
so how do I get the whole path into xargs? I tried xargs "$f"/ but fortunately that didn't work because it was trying to delete all the directories lmao XD
Oh I see, lol. Now I'm getting "Cannot remove: No such file or directory" all the way down! The files are there, I see them, they come up in the terminal, but for some reason xargs rm does not want to delete them. When I put the -f flag, rm doesn't give an error but the files are still there! wtf
Thank you for the tips, but now I'm getting "Cannot remove: No such file or directory" all the way down! The files are there, I see them, they come up in the terminal, but for some reason xargs rm does not want to delete them. When I put the -f flag, rm doesn't give an error but the files are still there! wtf
for f in *; do ls $f | tail -n 2 | xargs rm -rf; done
You mean like that? rm -rf followed by a question mark does not inspire confidence XD
As the title says, I just started with linux mint and am falling in love with bash scripts 😍 Actually I'm not sure if it's considered a script, but I want to delete the last 2 files in all subfolders in a folder. So far I've (after great effort) got the terminal to list the files, but I want to delete them. Here is how I get them listed:
for f in *; do ls $f | tail -n 2; done
All their names come satisfyingly up in the terminal. Now what? I tried adding | xargs rm but that didn't delete them. I also tried something with find command but that didn't work either. Some folders have 3 items, so I want to delete #2 and 3. Some folders have 15 items so I want to delete #14 and 15. Folders are arranged by name, so it's always the last 2 that I want to delete.
It's frustrating to be sooooo clooooose, but also very fun. Any help is appreciated!
These guys have only spoiled rich kid sore loser vibes. And cowards.
A flare up, perhaps
Hey thanks for the info. Are you saying that just standard LineageOS without gapps or MicroG will be unable to have a functioning OsmAnd (for example)? I remember a few years ago you had to install Mozilla location services seperately from F-Droid to get OsmAnd to work without Google stuff, but I've personally been out of the loop for a while.
Thanks, and is there one DNS provider that is better than the others in terms of privacy and degoogling?
I have to update a phone that currently has LOS, and degoogle it at the same time. If I just upgrade to the latest version (by flashing) and not install mind the gapps, is it basically a degoogled phone? It seems that installing /e/ over the current LOS would require me to flash stock rom first, which takes more time. The current LOS version on the phone was just 1 or 2 iterations below the latest version, 20 or 21 I don't remember.
TIA
