Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    The explanation is most likely incorrect though. A more obvious cause of this error is that the current working is the root directory (/) and that they’re logged in as a non-root user, thus trying to create the file /woman without sufficient permissions.

    Technically he is also wrong about what touch does. The purpose of touch is to update the timestamp of a file and only if the file doesn't exist, the file gets created.

    There are other directories where it can happen, and root is not the only one of them.

    There are also directories that you cannot read sometimes, like /var/lib/docker/volumes if you use docker

    Sure, but in this case the bash prompt tells us that it’s located in the root directory.
