General :: How To Locate Files Under Mandriva?
May 2, 2011
I am running Mandriva x64 and the nepoumuk file indexing was causing system hangups (in addition to not returning any results) so i disabled it. However kfind is not returning any results either - i feel a bit stupid and I'm sure there's a simple answer to this but How do i locate files under Mandriva linux? Is there a simple KDE application for that or do i need to look at kfind settings? Does file search only work with indexed database?

How do you send files, save or other wise write to CD using Mandriva Linux? On windows you get a helper menu. Linux does not offer this option in it's helper file and you can't click and drag a file in the CD folder. The dialog box reads "you do not have permission to write to this folder" when I try to drag it in and I can't change the permission signed in as Root.I don't have a clue. I wish Linux Questions would add a emotioncon that has the expression " what the hell buddy? are you on ten hits of acid?

My goal is to find all pdf files on a remote machine, so I resort to the useful command find. So I type find .pdf or find .pdf" and I get nothing. I do the same on my machine and I get nothing. I do a regular search from the menu on my machine and I find quite a few pdf files. Would somebody please tell me what am I doing wrong?

I work with this travel company that host sites for different agents. They have ALL the sites in one directory and each site has its own search.php file. How can I locate, and change all the search.php files permissions to 644 in one shot? Is this possible maybe with the find command? I read the man page for this but I am not sure how to write out the command.

Anyway, the issue that I am having is that when running GDB, the program will execute perfectly fine if I allow it to run without breakpoints if I skip stepping through the function using the 'n' command, but it will provide me with the following error if I try to step through it:
35 srand( time(NULL));
(gdb) s
time () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/time.S:32
32 ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/time.S: No such file or directory.
in ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/time.S
This happens not just for time() but for every function that would be found in the included libraries.
I included stdlib in the code, and in fact this code works perfectly fine on another system using Ubuntu 10.04 and GDB. The source paths are identical between these two machines as well ( $cdir:$cwd ).

How can I identify files near end of partition so I can move them elsewhere. The reason I ask is I want to shrink that partition but first I need to identify which files to move off the partition before I can shrink the partition in question

I used my colleges online site to automatically install and setup the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client. Everything went smoothly. I have a Cisco icon in my system tray and it says that I am connected to the VPN.
My question then is where do I access the VPN? I am assuming that I can access the other computers at the other end of the VPN as I would if they were networked to me, however I cannot seem to find any information on how this is done after the connection is made.
I looked in the Network folder which is where I figured everything would be, but there is nothing other than the normal, empty, network folders.
I am running Linux Mint 9, KDE 4.4
My friend Google let me down, and every VPN how to I can find ends at the "connected" stage, never getting into details about where to go from there...

I am on Ubuntu 11.04 and using Libre Office 3.3.2 to compose new documents and am saving them using .doc, .ppt and .xls files. (due to having to share them with others who are on Windows systems)
I have a lot of doc files and I need to search for text INSIDE these files. I am perplexed with the fact that no search tool is able to search for text INSIDE these file types. "cat" can display them of course, but grep is not able to locate text INSIDE these file types. I even tried to save a .doc file as an .odt file, but no luck. The Applications>Accessories>Search for Files does not search INSIDE doc, xls or ppt with the option "Contains the text".

When I installed my Mandriva 2010 Spring, the Amarok player was installed together.
I can't play MP3. Then I downloaded and installed(at least, I think...) lame.
How do I make Amarok play MP3? E.g. how I associate lame and Amarok?

I dual boot XP and Linux. Right now i've been running Mandriva but haven't been that satisfied with it as of late and am thinking of switching to the new Ubuntu. My question is, what would be the best way to go about this.. would i want to switch back to the windows bootloader, remove the linux partitions and then remake these partitions from free space during the Ubuntu install?
My main concern is wether it is necessary to switch back to the windows bootloader before proceeding (LILO currently) as i have no problem removing the old Mandriva partitions... I thought I'd reply to this thread rather than start a new one:
Doing almost the same thing with Mandriva, Vista & Grub going to Suse.
Am I to assume that I shouldn't have issues and that the Suse bootloader will overwrite Mandrivas? It is written in the MBR.
Now that I saw the poll of top distros for new users, I'm considering Ubuntu & Mint as well.
Will any distro's bootloader overwrite a prior version?

I have a completely new desktop and I have installed Ubuntu on it. That happened yesterday, today morning there is no internet connection on my desktop. I don't know what happened.
Anyway after all I have decided to put Mandriva over Ubuntu - that was the original plan - but now I am facing problems with installing Mandriva.
1st. The oriiginal cd drive is not recognised by Ubuntu Therefore I am using an old drive which at least is working.
2nd I cannot run Mandriva dvd.
My questions:
How can I delete Ubuntu and replace it with Mandriva? If this is too difficult, I would switch back to Windows 7. At least in Windows I have a bit of experience. The windows 7 dvd it cannot be run also.

I am planning to buy ASUS Eee PC 1000HE Netbook in near future and want newest Mandriva on it with KDE 3.5. Just wondering how Mandriva performs on this netbook? Do all the features work or is there any tweaking I have to do to get the best results? Anyone using Mandriva on ASUS Eee PC 1000HE? Is so, then what's your experience so far?

To install VMware Work Station for my Mandriva Linux.
The downloaded file is 'VMware 7.0.1 for Linux'.
'VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.1-227600.x86_64.bundle'
It has the .bundle at the end.
What is .bundle?
How do I install it?
It may be the case my old processor won't support the product.
AMD Athlon 3500++ is my processor. I bought this computer almost 5 years ago.

I got 'Mandriva 2010.2 One KDE Europe - Americas' live image with a tech magazine as an .iso. The live usb image created with Unetbootin on my Mint 10 of the iso won't boot. All I get a warning no operating system or something. I tried the Mandriva-seed script but it gives an error
Quote:
GLib-GIO:ERROR:/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.26.0/gio/gdbusconnection.c:2270:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL)
Also tried the isotostick script too but it too won't work. Here is the error message
Quote:
Not verifying image...(no checkisomd5 in Ubuntu so skipping)!
./isotostick.sh: line 103: /lib/udev/vol_id: No such file or directory
USB filesystem must be vfat or ext[23]
Cleaning up to exit...
note that the file system of the usb drive is FAT32 and the md5sum of the iso is the same as that specified in the website !!

No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "flac". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
Mandriva directs me to a commercial dl site for me to purchase the necessary (?) software. Is that my only option/

I used ubuntu and recently I install mandriva in to my laptop. I am using a headphone and when I listening to music I reduce speaker sounds and increase headphone and master sounds using "alsamiser -c 0" command in terminal.But at the end of each song, speaker sounds automatically increased.so I have to increase the headphone and master sound and reduce speaker sounds at beginning of every song.
When I restart the machine master,speaker and headphone sounds usualy become silence. Is there any why to save the alsamixer settings or any other way to correct this error.
