Total Commander

After I learn something about linux, now I know this issue :

Bug: Can't edit file in symbol link folder
http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=34613

should be Sysfs file.... not symbol link



Sysfs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sysfs

That doesn't tell me any thing - is there a workaround?

narrow down the culprit is best I can do
it's a kind of ramdisk, maybe you need to mount it specially... did you try on your phone's dirs under /sys/ ?

I'm just curious, do you have an android phone or tablet? I thought it's a linux dir, so one can reproduce this issue on almost any android machine, quite easy... or you don't think this should be fixed?

Yes, HTC Desire with Android 2.2 (no newer consumer release of Android has been offered for this device). There is no folder
/sys/class/misc/colorcontrol
on this device.

no, I mean, any folder in /sys/, this Sysfs is a ramdisk mount at /sys/, and the files inside are stored hardware parameter like CPU frequency and so on. ( because everything is a file in Linux )

So I believe you phone does have an /sys/ folder, and TC can't open any files in it.

I have no problems to open files in the TC editor in /sys. For example, the file
/sys/class/misc/alarm/uevent
contains: although it shows up with 0 bytes in the file list. Other external editors like Ted can open them too.

all files show 4KB here, as you can open it without issue, and I encounter that in every ROMs of Galaxy Nexus, I doubt this is a issue of Android 4.0+ specific... or even worse, phone specific... wish there is someone using Android 4.0 to test ti

all files show 4KB here

This might be the problem - TC compares the loaded size with the reported size, and shows an error if they differ - except when the system reports 0 bytes. I wonder why your system reports 4k. Maybe some sort of cluster size?

no idea, but have to remind you that other apps are fine.
