General :: Find Command In Locate Pdf Files?
May 25, 2010My 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?
View 5 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Regex - Using Find To Locate Filenames Before A Certain Date?
Jul 11, 2011I have a ton of files that are timestamped directories. These all look like2011-06-24_13.53.36 // a directory name for june 24th, 1:53:36 pmI have thousands of these directories. I want to do operations on some of the older ones. Let's say I give it a string for date time that matches that exact format, like i'll give it2011-06-25_00.00.00 // june 25th, 12amI want to find all the directories BEFORE my time. So if i give the string for 12am on june 25th, i want to find all the directories before then.If not i can find EVERY directory i have like this and then filter after wards. The created/modified dates are not tied to the actual timestamp im looking for (that would make this easier)
View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Bash - Using Find Or Grep To Locate Filenames With Accented Characters From A Different Encoding System (Windows)
Dec 6, 2010I tried to tag late onto a question similar to mine on stackoverflow (Find Non-UTF8 Filenames on Linux File System) to elicit further replies, with no luck so far, so here goes again... I have the same problem as the OP in the link above and convmv is a great tool to fix one's own filesystem. My question is therefore academic, but I find it unsatisfactory (in fact I can't believe) that 'find' is not able to find non standard ascii characters.
Is there anyone out there that would know what combination of options to use to find filenames that contain non standard characters on what seems to be a unicode FS, in my case the characters seem to be 8bits extended ascii rather than unicode, the files come from a Windows machine (iso-8859-1) and I regularly need to fetch them. I'd love to see how find and/or grep can do the same as convmv.

Code:
As you can see, there are a lot of names beginning with the letter 'k'. Are these processes needed for the GUI to be fully functional when it is run (X Window System + WM + Xfce4)? And can I setup the system such that they're never run?
The reason for this question is that I am testing some programs and need the CPU to have as little time stolen as possible.

General :: How To Locate Offending Ssh Key
Nov 25, 2010Using a Ubuntu 10.04 desktop...I just rebuilt another computer (Ubuntu 10.04-Server) and when I attempt to ssh to the box I of course have the ssh key from the old install.

May 2, 2011I 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Using Locate - All Paths That Contain Element /bin/ But Only One Instance Of Each One
Jun 18, 2010I want to print, using locate, all the paths that contain the element /bin/ but only one instance of each one. If I issue 'locate /bin/' then I have many screens of text with, for example,
/usr/bin/foo1
/usr/bin/foo2
/home/me/bin/foo3
whereas I want to see only
/usr/bin/foo1
/home/bin/foo3
That is to say, if in two lines /bin/ appears with the same prefix (in the example above the prefixes would be /usr and /home/me) I only want to print the first line. Can I pipe locate to grep to do this? I've mentioned locate because it does not scan the whole disk.
