• CL anomalies and my ignorance

    From faeychild@2:250/1 to All on Sat Apr 25 06:02:33 2026


    I used an old lexar 16 Gig USB stick
    one of the pocket knife folding type
    I intended to make a new bootable install media of Mageia 9
    I formatted to fat32 with gparted and then used isodumper to create the bootable media with Mageia-9-x86_64.iso.
    I got two mounted entries in Dolphin
    MAGEIA9 and Mageia-9-x86_64

    MAGEIA9 does not list in gparted
    It's a slow afternoon so I went searching

    [faeychild@unimatrix ~]$ cd /run/media/faeychild/Mageia-9-x86_64 [faeychild@unimatrix Mageia-9-x86_64]$ cd ..
    [faeychild@unimatrix faeychild]$ ls
    MAGEIA9/ Mageia-9-x86_64/
    [faeychild@unimatrix faeychild]$ rm MAGEIA9/
    rm: cannot remove 'MAGEIA9/': Is a directory
    [faeychild@unimatrix faeychild]$ rm -rf MAGEIA9
    rm: cannot remove 'MAGEIA9': Permission denied
    [faeychild@unimatrix faeychild]$ ls -la
    total 10
    drwxr-x---+ 4 root root 80 Apr 25 14:11 ./
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60 Apr 25 08:42 ../
    drwxr-xr-x 2 faeychild faeychild 8192 Jan 1 1970 MAGEIA9/
    drwxr-xr-x 1 faeychild faeychild 2048 Aug 20 2023 Mageia-9-x86_64/ [faeychild@unimatrix faeychild]$ ls -l MAGEIA9
    total 0
    Despite permission denied MAGEIA9 is mine, the date is curious

    This is purely an academic wheel spinning exercise. I'm not terribly concerned. A vast number of my CL forays run into walls like this only serving to demonstrate my ignorance

    Remember the date / time default is that of last access not created.
    You will need the --time= attribute followed by code for exactly what you
    want - look at info ls for more info.

    See my recent disktype of Mageia-9-Live-Plasma-x86_64.iso in Mageia .iso config thread and then the AI/LLM 'opinion' which follows in the thread.
