View 2 Replies View Relatedi have auto login and a ultra simple admin password, so it wasn't hard for them to mess with stuff...so when i came home i see that they had gone into terminal and added something to my system. i cant recall what it was because as soon as i saw in the history "warning this will make permanent changes to your system do you want to proceed" and the falling yes i got up and started bitching out my roommate and when i was gone someone had closed terminal. i was wondering is there is a way to search my recent terminal activity to see what was done so i can then find out if i can fix what was done?. or is there another option i should look into?

Say I need to do: find / -name somefile.txt
And say root partition / is mounted on /dev/sda5; however, let's say I also have 250GB partitions (/dev/sda6, /dev/sda7) mounted in /media - AND another location that I cannot currently remember. Say, also, that I know the file I'm looking for is on /dev/sda5.
Obviously, the above command will also descend in /media and that other directory which represent the big partitions, wasting time in looking for the file in the wrong place.
Is there a way to instruct find (or other command) to search only / on /dev/sda5, and NOT to descend to directories if they are on different partitions ?
I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a clean hard drive. Everything went well and I ended up giving /home it's own partition. After a while I figured I would dual boot with windows 7 and my mbr got overwritten. Now after this happened I googles how to fix it and found the same answer almost everywhere. It had me go into terminal and run grub an find my partition and setup grub again. All of this was done off a livecd. The only problem was that my livecd didn't have the grub shell installed. Everytime I ran "sudo grub" it would say "sudo: grub: command not found" I tried to install it but it kept giving me errors and I only once actually got into grub, but it could not find my partition. Whenever I typed "find /boot/grub/stage1" it said directory does not exist. So I attempted to fix it my own way. I installed another version of ubuntu along Sid the first. This allowed me to triple boot between the two versions of ubuntu and windows 7. So I booted into my original ubuntu (11.04) and deleted the older version of ubuntu with gparted. I deleted the partition and restarted, but when I restarted I got an error saying that grub could not find the partition. I can boot into my original ubuntu through the ultimate boot cd but it is a round a bout way of doing it. Is there anyway I can set grub to search for ubuntu 11.04 on startup instead of the deleted version of ubuntu?

I'm using Apt-proxy, and I want to scan through the folders, and find files that end with "*.bz2" The problem is that the search takes a while because of all the "*.deb" files. Fortunately, they're stored in their own folder:

I need a command to search for any file in a directory like so:
/home/*/upload/* and then change permissions any file in that directory.
Find doesn't seem to match what I need.
I have a file called Regions.ini that looks like this:
Code:
[Granite]
RegionUUID = 54ab7cd2-0e70-49b7-8020-8dbeb84c08d0
Location = 9991,10007
InternalAddress = 0.0.0.0

RegionUUID = 8fc56fdd-0afd-4074-9432-0ae8f42b799f
Location = 9992,10007
InternalAddress = 0.0.0.0
InternalPort = 9000
AllowAlternatePorts = False
ExternalHostName = 71.171.21.9
What I need to do is find out what the IP address is after "ExternalHostName ="
After that I will need to compare that IP to whatismyip and if it's different then replace it but that is easy to do with sed. I just can't figure this simple hurdle out.
Trying to find a way to have the find command perform a search using multiple file extensions such as "find all pics" i.e. .jpg, .png, .gif, .raw etc. I would have thought something like the following would have worked, but apparently I'm doing something wrong:
sudo find / -type f -iname "*.jpg" "*.png" "*.gif" -printf
I'm guessing find simply doesn't support more than one "-name/-iname" at a time? Or perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way? I realize most times there's several different ways to skin a cat when a task is requested in linux/unix.
how to use find command to search for all the file in the particular folder?my script as below

I screwed up and managed to overwrite my MBR with one that had a different partition table, thereby losing access to all of my partitions and data. Now, I was semi-smart and backed up the MBR before I did this, but the "semi-" part is that I backed it up onto the hard drive in question because I was thinking only in terms of losing my ability to boot from the MBR, not the whole partition table.
So...as I see it my only means to recover my data is to find and recover that 512 byte block on the disk media. Having read a little bit, this seems possible given that I know to look for a) the MBR signature at offset 510, b) the partition status byte at offset 446, and c) the partition type byte at offset 450.
What I need is help figuring out the most efficient way to do this. I've experimented with a shell script using dd, hexdump, and grep, but searching 1000 blocks takes ~20seconds, so to search the whole drive (100GB) will take something like 800hrs. This is limited, I believe, by the fact that my live disk of Knoppix won't recognize a drive on the SATA bus, so I had the target drive mounted through a USB adapter. But even if it were being accessed via SATA, I have a feeling it would be pretty slow.
I need someone who is an expert to help me figure out a script, program, etc. that can search for and identify the sector where my MBR backup resides more efficiently.
I need to install g77 in this distribution, but an apt-cache search won't find any match.

I noticed that every, say, 5 times I boot CentOS 5.4, a find search is initiated that takes several hours.
For example:
find . -name rd=rmdir -print
I'm not sure if it's related, but, I do have a "alias rd=rmdir" in my .aliases. Would changing it to "alias rd=/bin/rmdir" avoid this problem? I'm using zsh. Is this search necessary?
The sudo upgrade of 2010-09-15 modified permissions on /var in my systems, both on 32 and 64 bit. (from 755 to 700) My subversion server stops working after the upgrade, you have to restore the old permissions by hand. I don't inspect how, but I've checked it few times...
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am familiar with slackware's slocate.What slocate doesn't have is an option to limit returned results from specific users or groups.What's more I can't seem to find a gui/web frontend so that people without knowledge of cli can benefit from the slocate's indexed search.So I turn to you all, is there another tool, that supports per user/group searching and a web (preferably) frontend?(clarification) i think slocate returns results related to the user running the search (files that he owns as well as files that are owned by his primary and other groups). Is that correct? I basically want a search user (who will be a member of the several groups that our office is structured like) to get results by giving as search criteria not only the filename, but also the owner of the file and / or the group
