I used to be able to run locate and updatedb, but after an OpenSUSE update, they no longer work. I've reinstalled findutils and it appears to install correctly, but the commands still don't work.
server:/tmp # rpm -Uvh --force findutils-4.2.28-24.i586.rpm

I recently installed 10.04, in the process of installing MythTV... I'm looking for installed files and find bash no longer finds updatedb or locate commands. I did change /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname to change the name of the box. Could this have hosed those commands? I tried them as root... sudo -i, same result...

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen I opened /etc/updatedb.conf it says there in the file that one should make ones own updatedb.local. But how, exactly? Presumably I create /etc/updatedb.local but what do I put into that? With all those $-signs I'm pretty much lost. Could anyone post his/her example of a PRUNE_FS statement or point me to some reference where I can read up on this

export PATH=<my jre path>

-bash: ls: command not found
i think that i should re-export my PATH to the right value but i don't know what it should be. I tried differend values
/etc/profile
/usr/bin
Can "locate" or "updatedb" be set to print file names with white space properly escaped? For example, I want it to print, "/home/USER/My Files" and not, "/home/USER/My Files". I've googled around, read the man pages, checked the forum, and I'm still stuck.

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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI normally use the "locate" command to find files that I have on my local drive. However, if I wanted to do this for an external drive, how would I go about this?
From what little I know about Linux, I'm guessing that it creates a reference file from which it performs the search when the command is typed. If I'm right this is updated at a given interval or when "updatedb" is used?
As the external hard drive is not always mounted is it best to create another of these reference files and have a different command (e.g. locateext) or something? Or is it best to add the external hard drive's location to the list of files that get added with updatedb.
I'm running Fedora 11.
I have to trace back what command and when it is used for the last 3 months. It is quite urgent as I have trouble with the system configuration.

I wanted to package my software as an RPM by rpmbuild command. When I run that it complained that gcc not found.
I downloaded gcc and tried to install that from a tar ball. And it complained about cc: coomand not found. I dont know why is this error being shown because I think cc and gcc are the same. Correct me if I am wrong. My system details are:

After my last online system update, ubuntu 10.10.1 (pre-release) now crashes and the last thing written to the screen is "starting nbd client service" so I am trying to burn a copy of the new 10.10 final DVD on my Suse 11.2 install to try to recover or reinstall ubu.
With a stock install of suse 11.2/64 bit, k3b does a system config probe and finds 'no cd/dvd writer found'. My writer worked fine on the now-comatose ubuntu.
If I put in an ubuntu 10.10.1 cd, it finds it and mounts it:
Brasero just says that there is no available disk. When I insert the black cd, I see the popup telling me that there are 2 choices to handle the disk, one of them is k3b. Then k3b says that there are no cd/dvd writers found.
I read some fixes about adding me to the CDROM and DISK groups, but I don't have either.
Now, it won't eject either with the button or with the eject command:
It's an LG blu-ray burner. It is my primary boot device and I have used it to boot to and load many iso images.
Time for the old paperclip trick...
I would hate to have to load the same buggy beta system and have it crash again after the next update.
Now, my blu-ray drive is dead. I tried putting a blank dvd into my old burner and I get the same k3b error message.
the hard disc has two partitions, one is 156gb ntfs, currently with windows xp prof sp2, and I am trying to install linux to the second partition, also currently ntfs.I am not a total newbie (i used fedora 10 last semester and ubuntu the semester before that). I have tried installing ubuntu9.04, fedora 10, fedora 11, and opensuse11.1 to this computer, and every time the installation probes for hard disks it comes up with zip, unless I have my external disks connected. Otherwise "No hard disks were found for the installation. Please check your hardware!"with OK button.
I also tried with gparted to see if I could find the hard disk, and still had no luck. I googled my problem and found others with similar problem but no satisfactory solution.does anybody have any idea what could be wrong and how to fix it??
