eugenius1 / fix_newline_errors.py
Created April 1, 2016 02:25
Fixes error due to missing new lines in Linux (Ubuntu) directory /var/lib/dpkg/info
#!/usr/bin/python
# updated 11th February 2016 by Eusebius Ngemera to use 'with' for file I/O
# 8th November, 2009
# update manager failed, giving me the error:
# 'files list file for package 'xxx' is missing final newline' for every package.
# some Googling revealed that this problem was due to corrupt files(s) in /var/lib/dpkg/info/
# looping though those files revealed that some did not have a final new line
# this script will resolve that problem by appending a newline to all files that are missing it
# NOTE: you will need to run this script as root, e.g. sudo python newline_fixer.py

Aligned row of native Social Sharing buttons with counts (and robust Accessibility)

Demo here.

Shows a row of native social sharing buttons with counts, for Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn. Sharing is still possible without JavaScript and also in text-only modes, via url APIs. Uses Bootstrap for column placement.

On mobile phone screens (xs), the row becomes two rows with one button on each.

On UNIX, see the text-only experience with terminal command lynx http://eusebius.tech/#social-share-buttons

Replace EusebiusTech in Twitter with your own hashtags. %23 is the url encoding of #. See docs for more info.
