EACCES, permission deniedThat was the error message that I received when I was trying to update my Atom packages (I think it was linter-php). Basically, the updater was failing because it didn’t have permission to remove an old config file. The fix was simple enough. All I had to do was resign the permissions to my user by running the following command:
sudo chown -R `whoami` ~/.atomEasy as that the permissions were fixed and the updater could do its thing again.
Recently I had a script that I needed to run about 100 times in a row. This little one liner came in super handy for that. Replace “COMMAND” with the command that you want to run. In this example, the command will run 100 times in a row!
for i in `seq 100`; do COMMAND; done
iTunes 11 sports an all new interface and thats great, but if you are like me, you just want to use the features that you’ve become used to. I’ve figured out how to get most of the old features turned back on in iTunes 11.
Now, iTunes 11 should look close to iTunes 10. I have found that I need to use the album view to show artwork. The Song view no longer shows album art.
I would gladly pay more than $20 a year to have full access to my 150+ gig library of music. Until then, I guess I’m not allowed to play 🙁
Mac OS X Lion (10.7), introduced a bunch of new features to the Mac platform. At the same time it’s taken away some things that experienced Mac users are used to. The idea was to remove things that the average user doesn’t need.
If your like me, you might have yelled “Hey! Where is the Library folder in OS X Lion?”, when trying to access data from the iPhone simulator.
After doing some research, I found that the folder was not gone, it had simply been hidden. Running the following command from the terminal, I was able to make my Library folder visible once again.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
You may also need to restart finder by using this command
killall Finder && open /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app
If for some strange reason you want to go back to being a n00b and hide the Library folder again, you can use the following command
chflags hidden ~/Library
