File types

Velle, I have replied to your questions on the Talk:ls page, and copied the relevant text to your talk page here.

I know that you are able to get the type of a file by typing "file pic.jpg" for example. Is it possible to get this information for each file or subdirectory in a directory using ls with some argument?

This is a task that is precisely intended for shell scripts to perform, not core userland utilities. Dysprosia 13:43, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Here is a one-liner to answer your question. Use the find command with the -exec option.

find . -exec file {} \;

Color conventions

What are the color conventions when using color? Is it different from shell to shell?

--Velle 13:40, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

See the example in the article I added using color conventions for Suse Linux. It can be different, depending on your preferences. Use the dircolors -p command to see how they are set for your shell.

There is a good explanation on setting your colors here. In short:

Create the file with: 
dircolors -p > $HOME/.dircolors 
Edit the file to taste. 
In your .bashrc (and/or .bash_profile or .profile) put: 
eval $(dircolors ~/.dircolors)

Meanings of Velle

Hi Velle. What does Velle mean? Currently Velle redirects to Derrick, but I suspect "Velle" has more meanings than that. Do you know what other meanings? Thanks — Donama 00:39, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Velle. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Velle~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
