Having gone through the /etc/cron.daily directory I noticed that there is only the mlocate.cron file in comparison to what I have seen on other material where they cite slocate.cron. Is there a difference between these and their respective commands and if so what are they?

Google searches for "secure locate Kevin Lindsay" and "secure locate source" do not show any signs of ongoing maintenance, but do bring up a few security advisories related, afaict, to memory corruption. If it's a Google problem, sorry in advance to the maintainer.
View 6 Replies View RelatedUpon a while of searching, I think I failed to find the correct terms and I'm posting here. I often use mlocate to search for files. For example, if I say
Code:
$ mlocate temp_2.pdf
I'll get two results:
Code:
/home/kmc/Documents/latex/temp_2.pdf
/home/kmc/Documents/latex/test/temp_2.pdf
Now if I want to open one of them, I'll have to either open Acroread and browse to their locations. Or select and copy, and call acroread in terminal like
Code:
$ acroread /home/kmc/Documents/latex/temp_2.pdf
This is tedious to me. I'm thinking of a way of quickly open its search results, I've tried pipes like this but it doesn't work:
Code:
$ mlocate temp_2.pdf | acroread
maybe it doesn't work this way. So what does the trick? What's the name of this trick? I've googled for

Linux bash catch output, pipe output, open mlocate results And is it possible to handle multiple lines of output, e.g., can I choose which line of output get forwarded to relative programs?
64-bit lucid lynx server (gnome) According to Ubuntu Software Center, Tight VNC Server is installed. However,mlocate doesn't show any vnc files in any *bin directory
ps -A doesn't show a vnc service running none of the menus have an item for vnc server
I can connect to the ubuntu computer from Windows tightvnc clients on two different windows boxes. I can use the keyboard to type in the password. After that, remote control, i.e., the mouse, doesn't work.
The problem is that the mouse cursor (controlled from the windows client) moves but otherwise has no effect. I can move the cursor, but it acts as if the client (or server) is set to view-only. The effect of that is that I can't launch any programs (not even a terminal).
I've tried various combinations of settings on the client and on the server, but I can't get it to work correctly.
On the ubuntu machine, remote desktop sharing enabled.
on some earlier versions of ubuntu this worked correctly when connecting from the same windows client using tightvnc.
I tried connecting from another windows client and got the same results.

The 3.4G is correct because we have removed all non essential file but free space reported by df is not consistent with the actual free space that should be there.
