Use the file manager to browse to the file location(on the sdcard). You will need to first enable installing apps from unknown sources -- in the settings app under 'Security', check 'Unknown Sources', or similar setting. You could also turn off app verification just below the above setting. You coul...

A lonely little corner, indeed, where you find yourself. Most of (y)our ilk have fled or escaped to anywhere possible. One tires of hiding it all inside in order to avoid social conflicts. By now it has become a potential matter of life, death or freedom. Anyone can be branded 'anti-american' or ter...

Partition info is always in the first block of the disk -before any file-system formatting/magic.
Most partitioning tools create at least one backup of the partition table somewhere else on the disk.
testdisk is a program which tries to retrieve old copies of the partition table.

args = ('/home/pacs/xyz00/users/cal/var/radicale.log',) That is an example path which should be substitued with something more reasonable like: ~/cal/var/radicale.log but you need to at least create that directory, if not an empty log file to start with. That said, I think you could go back to using...

Love that cornbread dressing! Gotta put a *lot* of sage in there though. Cornbread is not eaten elsewhere. Been craving it lately so I've been making it every couple of days -sometimes with onion and jalapenos- lovely!

4MB is not much for a swap area -that will only cache a couple of web pages, at most. If you can spare the space, try at least 100MB.

while read -r -n 64 HEADER <<<$1

esac

The above will be faster than calling any exterior program, by about 30 times. Not a big deal for a couple of items, but /usr/bin holds lots more than a couple.

I'll post some shell code here which replaces the 'file'. You won't need all of it, but I can tell you that using bash 'read' is much quicker than calling the file-->grep combination. #!/bin/bash # /usr/bin/_file # Gilbert Ashley # possibly the fastest way to get a file type!

Layered mounts and nested mounts must be unmounted in reverse order. Every action that runs during startup should be undone, in reverse, when shutting down (or changing runlevels).

I said 'input methods', since there are various ways to generate input which is then interpreted as keyboard input -think of on-screen keyboard utilities which are activated with the mouse, or touch screens. A plugin hardware keylogger is not gonna catch those. If you want on-the-fly key-by-key reco...

In that case you'd need not only a process which runs all the time waiting, but also need to modify every input method so that it conforms to where your special program is listening. Have fun coding that up just the way you like it -one custom kernel module could possibly cover all bases...
