In terminal, can't type file /installer.failurerequests

I found in the Terminal while looking into one problem I have with App Store updates a file in the root directory called "installer.failurerequests". So I typed:
-bash: type installer.failurerequests
and then it says
-bash: type: installer.failurerequests: not found
so then I tried this:
-base type install*
and I still got this reply:
-bash: type: installer.failurerequests: not found
What gives? How can "ls" list a file in the directory that can be found by wild card but still not found when "type" looks to load the file? I don't understand what is going on here. Is this a sign of some kind of disk directory service / drive or caching error of some kind?
I need some pointers on where to go from here to figure out why I can't examine
Someone else found this file on their system after upgrading to Yosemite but they have no trouble opening their file:

Linc Davis was right! "cat" has been the command in NIX world to display the contents of a file. "more" and "less" are improvements in Bash. "type" has never meant to read a file or show its contents.
"type" in MS-DOS is for printing contents of a file. But, in Bash that runs on NIX systems, including OS X, of course,"type" command indicates how it would be interpreted if used as a command name. As a result, /installer.failurerequests is a mysterious XML at root directory, not a builtin, not a executable command to be executed.
If you would like to try, open a terminal and run the following command:
echo "Hello" > hello.txt
type hello.txt
If your system runs standard bash, it should prompts "-bash: type: hello.txt: not found" as you have seen when running "type /installer.failurerequets".
To learn more about builtin commands in Bash, see http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Bash-Builtins.html

Can't Type File Name In Konqueror

Until recently I could type the start of a file/folder name to jump to it instead of scrolling down the list. However for some reason it seems to have stopped working. I've got a fully up to date system with the testing repo enabled (I use compiz fusion).
Thanks

[Solved] Can't type ~ in terminal using AwesomeWM

I'm running Arch on a System76 Pangolin Performance (panp9 model) laptop. I'm using AwesomeWM, and I can't type the tilde character in any of the terminal apps I have installed. RXVT-Unicode is no go. Xterm is no go. MATE Terminal is no go. I can type backticks without any difficulty, but if I hold down shift and press the same key in a terminal, I get nothing.
The weird part is that I can run xev, bang on the tilde key, and see a response every time. I can type tildes in Sublime Text 3 and GVim. I can even type a tilde into Opera, LibreOffice, and the GIMP's text tool.
I've tried googling this, but I haven't found anything. I use the Source Code Pro font in my terminals, but I use the exact same font in Sublime Text 3 and GVim. I haven't seen anything in the Arch or AwesomeWM wikis, either. Does anybody have any pointers?

"There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type "file:" are not supported. Why? What can be done to eliminate it?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repeatedly get this message: "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type "file:" are not supported.
Why?
What can be done to eliminate it?

Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

Since installing Lion I keep getting the error message 'there was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:" are not supported"' How can I fix this?

Not a nice answer!
Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
You're ignoring context. On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers. The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies. Then came Lion. The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest. (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable. (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems. I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there. Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
The people helping here are all volunteers. None of them is being paid for the time they spend here. They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities. It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

For a variety of reasons, mostly related to security, the iOS operating system limits what can be done with respect to file uploading and downloading. But whenever you encounter a limitation like this always think, "There must be an app for this."
Check the apps James Ward suggests.

Can't import LIVE TYPE files .ipr into FCP - FILE ERROR: UNKOWN FILE.

I have had this problem for a while and simply just worked around it. But now I am editing so much more that I want it the way it use to be.
The Problem is FCP 6 will not let me import LIVE TYPE files. I have to render them into an .mov 1st in livetype. I use to be able to just drag the file into FCP and render it there after I tweeked it. Now it won't, it gives me this error- FILE ERROR: Unknown File.
I have already uninstalled Live type along with its PLIST as well as FCP. Re installed and still keep getting the same error. I can't remember when it started, all I know is I want it fixed.
Thank you for any assistance anyone can offer.

What are the Project Properties settings? do they match the Sequence setting in FCP?
What elements are used in your LiveType composition?
Are you including images or background video?
If so, post the codec that the video uses. If there are images, the file type and color space.

Can't get parameter in struts when using input type="file"...?

Hi everyone:
Can the common html tag and struts tag be used together?I have an example:in jsp
<html:form method="post" action="sendmail.do" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<tr><td>MailTo:</td><td>
<html:text property="mailto"/></td></tr>
<tr><td>MailFrom:</td><td>
<html:text property="mailfrom"/></td></tr>
<tr><td>Subject:</td><td>
<html:text property="title"/></td></tr>
<tr><td>Content:</td><td>
<html:textarea property="content" rows="7" cols="30"/></td></tr><tr><td>
Attach:</td><td>
<input type="file" name="myfile"/></td></tr><tr><td>
<html:submit/><html:reset/>
</td></tr>
</html:form>
In Action,I want to use the code "request.getParameter("myfile")" to get the file real path.But I always get "null".Why "request.getParamter("myfile")" is null although I choose a file in jsp?
Can struts Tag and html Tag be use together?Thks

Instead of the Request, you need to use MultiPart request in this case.
This is because of the following statement you are using in the form tag. {enctype="multipart/form-data"}
Hope it helps....

How many types i can import as file in FLA and what's the differences ??

Hello
How many types i can import as file in FLA and what's the differences ??

you wouldn't import a .as file.
you could open it in the flash ide (or any text editor) and edit it.
you could create a fla and assign a document class which flash will compile into your swf.
you could create a library object in a fla, tick export for actionscript and assign a class that flash will compile that class into your swf.
you could instantiate a class object (using the "new" constructor) in a flash movieclip timeline or in another class file and flash will compile that class into your swf.
for Workers to extend a class use something like:
package
import Citizens;
      public class Workers extends Citizens
       protected var baseSalary:Number = 1000;
           public function Workers()
               super();
          public function receivePayment():Number
                return this.baseSalary;

Hello Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have a problem in Java I can not open files, audio chat, which type of jnlp after the last update of the Java 2012-004
Please help me in solving this problem.

Make sure Java is enable in your browser's security settings.
Open Java Preferences (in Utilities folder)
Make sure Web-start applications are enabled.
Drag Java 32-bit to the top of the list.
jnlp isn't an audio file format. It's just a java web-start program (Java Network Launching Protocol).
