Nope, I went to the movies/ directory and tried removing terminator.txt from the action/scifi directory and it worked.
I didn’t try removing any directories but I don’t see why that would be any different.
I´m currently stuck at task 1. I think it´s a bug.
I went in the directory: /home/ccuser/workspace/movies/comedy/slapstick
The next step is typing in ls, but somehow I always get it wrong somehow. I tried ls -a and everything else.
It prints waterboy.txt and zoolander.txt.
Am I doing something wrong? It doesn´t help resetting the exercise…
I’m the same I think. I’ve changed to be in the slapstick directory and listed all the files and directories, but it still prints the error message “Did you change into directory comedy/slapstick?”
Fixed it - think there might have been a bug. All I did was go to ‘Get Unstuck’ > Reset Exercise. Then typed in the last two lines of code I had before
In manipulation/rm you state that “The rm command deletes files and directories”. In the next quiz when asking “How would you delete a directory called music/?” answering with “rm music” is pointed as wrong because “The rm command on its own cannot remove a directory.”
Hello everybody this is Mr. BadDucky gain aiding my fellow hackers! If you are stuck on rm here’s the correct answer to get those beautiful checkmark’s on those boxes.
rm - Manipulations
$ cd comedy/slapstick
$ ls
waterboy.txt zoolander.txt
$ rn waterboy.txt
$ cd …
$ ls
satire slapstick the-office.txt
$ rm -r slapstick
$
Here is the correct way to passing I want all of you to study and become the best person you can be and maybe we can meet on the Dark Web for hacking purposes. Goodluck and study hard i know you can do if my viewer’s!
If you use ‘rm’ without the recursive ‘-r’ on a directory with child directories, what happens to all the child directories? Do they remain on the hard drive and don’t get removed?
I’m having the same problem as well. These comments were posted a while ago now, did anyone get through it or figure out how to pass through the bugged step?
