Ubuntu :: Search Function Does Not Work On 9.10?
Nov 10, 2010I have a few thousand .doc and .odt files (Word & OpenOffice documents) in a folder. Under 9.04, I was able to run a query search for keywords by using; Places - search for files - contains the text. It would find files with the text that I requested every time.
Now that I have 9.10, that search function does not work any more.
Ubuntu :: Synaptic Quick Search Doesn't Work?
Jun 7, 2010I just upgraded my computer to Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid. Whenever I open Synaptic Package Manager it opens normally. If I type into the "Quick search" box, when I try to type in a word as soon as I type the second letter Synaptic immediately closes. However, if I click on the full "Search" button, this function works as it should. I just can't use Quick Search. Synaptic closes every time.
I uninstalled synaptic from a terminal by typing [CODE] apt-get remove synaptic. Then I reinstalled using [CODE] apt-get install synaptic. Reinstalling did not fix the problem. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Apr 5, 2011i guess this is an installation issue as i am newish to Linux and got a F14 laptop from a used/refurb store... Anyway it seem i have difficulty with getting GTK running or maybe it is WGET...?
i did manage to install apt-get and was able to run synaptics ... but now whenever i try to run synaptics it flashes the interface and crashes. i tried apt-get search wget and it says invalid operation search. i tried apt cache wget and get a crash box in the upper right corner... i tried apt-get gtk+extra-2.1.2-4.fc14 and it says invalid operation gtk...
All of which is frustrating my attempts to get the GTK interface to J working. Their script uses WGET which i also cannot get.
Ubuntu :: Keyboard Won't Work In "Debian Package Search"?
Jan 13, 2011So, I downloaded Debian Package Search. I search for an application. Right click on the name of the application, click Install/Update Package,nd it throws me this terminal window that asks: "Please enter root password". Now I'm sure that's my user password, but when I try to enter it.. nothing. My keyboard doesn't work. In the normal terminal window it works perfectly, but there I get nothing. Just wondered if anyone experienced the same problem, and the workaround.

Ubuntu :: Desktop Search For KDE 4?
May 31, 2010I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with KDE 4.
I want a desktop search program for KDE 4 like GNOME has beagle and tracker.
I know about Nepomuk but it seems too slow and resource heavy.
When I used to use KDE 3 I used a desktop search program called Kerry (a KDE frontend to Beagle) but I don't think has a KDE 4 version.
good desktop search program for KDE 4.

Jun 15, 2011For some reason Ubuntu's built-in file search app doesn't find the file I'm looking for sometimes. My 10.10 build has been running excellently for some time now and haven't experienced any problems but this is a wierd one. If I use another app like Catfish it usually finds the sought file, but sometimes it gives a fatal error and stops working. Others have had this problem with Catfish, too, so I'm looking for another reliable file or folder search app. I've went thru what I could find in the Software Center but haven't found anything really good. I need an app that'll search for hidden files or folders on the whole PC

Ubuntu :: Search For Something Inside One Of Files?
Nov 28, 2010How can I search for one 6 letter word throughout all of my Ubuntu files?
Sounds simple but I've not found what I'm looking for. The bottom line is that I am wanting to clean up a file association in mime. I would have had more success if I were searching for this under XP. I must be doing something wrong.
Since I trialled a commercial company's map product under Wine somewhere in my system is still their name. Any gpx file I choose to download and the company's name appears in properties. Ggx files are also associated with Wine whilst an untainted PC in the house just has "Browse" as an "open with" option.
First things first, how do I find and delete this commercial company's name totally from any part of my system? How do I find their name in one or more of my files?
Ubuntu :: Way To Do A Compound Search Of Some Files?

I want to find *.jgw files that have 123 in line 5 and 456 in line 6. I first thought grep could do this for me but grep 123 *.jgw|grep 456 finds only files where 123 and 456 are on the same line. Is there a sed trick for this?
