No such file or directory when trying to create a file with nano












3















I am trying to create a new file:



nano/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy


When upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04, but I'm getting the error:



No such file or directory





command-line nano

    Have you tried to run nano/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy literally? Try it with a space after the command name: nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy. You’ll need root permissions for that.

It seems like there is a typo in your question because there would normally be a blank space between nano and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/... To create a new file named 02proxy in the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d directory (which normally already exists) open the terminal and type:



sudo touch /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy


To open the 02proxy file for editing in nano text editor:



sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy


Nano text editor keyboard shortcuts
Use the keyboard combination Ctrl + O and after that press Enter to save the file to its current location.
Use the keyboard combination Ctrl + X to exit nano.

    this behavior happen if the target directory doesn't exist. you have therefore to create the parent directory



    mkdir my_dir


    then use nano.



    nano my_file


    CTRL x=>y

      Creating a directory won't help if you don't put a space between the command (nano) and the file it applies to (/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy). The OP basically issued nanomy_file instead of nano my_file.

            Quarter-circle Tiles

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

            0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton?
