Ubuntu :: How To Find Location Of Executables
Feb 23, 2011
I just installed the xubuntu-desktop package on my netbook (running UNR), and I've got one major complaint about xfce.
I can't right-click on icons in the Applications menu and add them to the launcher!Instead I have to know the location of the executable for the application, so that I can right-click the panel, add a launcher, and then type the location of the executable in and manually select an icon for it...Of course it probably wouldn't be a pain if I could find everything. In Windows, if I want to know the location of a program that's running, I just open Task Manager, right-click the application, and select Properties.
Is there some equivalent or command-line way of finding the location of a running application in Linux?
A few I'd like to know the location of are:
1) Gnome System Monitor
2) Terminal
3) Swiftfox
... and I'll probably think of others.
Even though I'm using XFCE, I figured this fell under the "all variants" category since my main question is just how to find the locations of executables...

I have a 'bin' directory in my home that contains executables. For example: scandirs.sh.It's in my PATH, so I can just type 'scan{tab}{tab} to run it. But 'which scandirs.sh' returns nothing.

I am working on a custom hand-held device which runs a variant of Ubuntu Linux, 2.6.18. I have a set of 4 binary files (for oprofile) which have been known to run in this environment, but when I copy them to /usr/bin, I can't run them: I get this message;root@ldogberry:/usr/bin# ./ophelp-sh: ./ophelp: not foundThis happens when I specify the full path, when I run from the /usr/bin directory -- it happens no matter what. Bash even does command-line completion on the file -- and then turns around and instantly claims the file is not found.

I just updated a laptop to 11.04. I'm trying to find the best location for wireless in a marginal environment, but am somewhat frustrated by the "improvements" ... I would not have updated, except that the usb TP-LINK TL-WN722N didn't work on 10.04 ... it works fine on 11.04.
But, now when I put the cursor on the wireless icon I don't get the %strength message like I did on 10.04. Is there a way to re-enable this? I suspect that this is a problem created with the "wonderful" indicator applet?

I am trying to find the location of a package on my linux machine. There are several commands that i have tried like 'rpm -ql kernel-headers-2.6.32-71.18.1.el6.x86_64' but this is no good.
I also tried the following command 'rpm2cpio kernel-headers-2.6.32-71.18.1.el6.x86_64 | cpio --list! But I get a msg saying "kernel-headers-2.6.32-71.18.1.el6.x86_64: No such file or directory"So I decided to download the rpm and when I tried to install it I get "package kernel-headers-2.6.32-71.18.1.el6.x86_64 is already installed"Is there any way I can find out the location of this file??? It is not in any of the /usr folders (bin, lib, lib64, include etc...)

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 and tomcat 6 java servlet container. I am trying to run the tomcat server on port 80, so I edited tomcat's configuration file (server.xml) and changed the default port from "8080" to "80". I launched tomcat server, went to my browser and entered:[url], but it says can not find server/location. Then I edit the server.xml and revert back to port "8080" and then enter: [url] and everything works fine. So my guess is some other service is taking up port 80, but I would think not, since I just installed Ubuntu and made sure apache isn't installed or running.
So I went to "System" --> "Administration", then choose "Network Tools". I then executed Netstat and did not see anything taking up port 80, but I do see port 8080 taken (assuming it is the tomcat server). Then I also did a Port Scan and entered my IP number. Again, I don't see port 80 taken, but do see 8080 being used.
I had a winxp laptop computer behind home wireless and was running tomcat 6 server fine with it, but it over-heated and died recently. So I got a used laptop and just installed Ubuntu 9.10. I have not changed my wireless router settings. It is the same as before. So I have ruled out my home's hardware/network equipment.
So here now I sit, wondering what is up?
For security reasons, is port 80 initially blocked by Ubuntu for some reason? Is there something I have to do beforehand to free up port 80?

I'm working with a program that uses Open Motif to create all of the widgets, including the Open File dialog box (obviously). However, Open Motif being kinda old-timey, 80's vintage, and for the most part now an abandoned project, it is quite clunky. So, actually what I need to do is to open some files located on my work server. I have already successfully connected to the relevant server directories with Samba, and with programs built with GTK+ (such as GIMP) I can open files across the network because I have created a bookmark in Nautilus, and those bookmarks appear in the Open File dialog box created by GTK+. Now, Open Motif is different: it doesn't see network locations, orNautilus shortcuts. When I type "smb://serveripyadayada" in the search folder, it really doesn't like it and complains. So, what do I do? Can I get somehow Open Motif to open a network location? Or can I do a run-around and place a shortcut in the file system that points to the network location?

I have been testing ubuntu 10.10 maverick, it has some nice features. Anyway I am missing the possibility of writing manually the folder you want to go on nautilus using the Location bar. It was used to have some kind of icon which you can click and it switched between graphich breadcrumbs or the location of the folder and you could changed it manually, you know what I mean?

When I mistype a name of an executable program in terminal, ubuntu tries to search for similar programs in packages and then suggests names. This takes time, slowing down work and entirely useless for me. How to turn this feature off?
I personally can't even find a reason for implementing this feature and rather making it turned on by default. If someone needs a tool, he/she can search through packages.

Going from Fedora 12 to 13. Got to the point where I have to reboot to install, system reboots to 12. This is a triple boot system with Open Suse and Mint, and the grub2 bootloader from Mint is the bootloader for the whole shebang. In the "how to use preupgrade" instructions there's a line that says "dentify the drive and partition of your Fedora /boot folder." How? If that sounds odd, consider that in my set up "computer" shows 4 partitions (and with just three operating systems..?). I can mount them, but have a problem telling which sytem is Fedora, Suse or Mint. And getting the FEDORA bootloader to find the PREUPGRADE kernel ... Momma said there'd be days like this.
cat /etc/fstab just returned /dev/sda1 on /boot. I installed Fedora first, before Suse or Mint, so being on the first drive or partition sounds right, but the multiple drives throws me, and "just guessing" doesn't seem like the way to go.

I want to install an executeable and I am not sure how to do this. My intuition was to copy the executeable in the /usr/bin folder, but when I call it now, it says permission denied (and obviously I don't want to call the program with sudo every time).

Have installed Wine - version 1.2.3-Oubuntu1-ppa2-maverick1(wine1.2) from the Ubuntu softwear center . Downloaded windows executable PAF5EnglishSetup.exe which is a Genealogy softwear program from a trusted source (familysearch.org) .
However , when i attempt to open with Wine Windows Program Loader i get the pop up window saying the file is not marked as executable then reference to "executable bit" . I then see the following:
"You should only mark a file as executable via the file permissions if you know what you are doing." I do not know what i am doing . Therefore , reluctant to go messing with something i am not familiar with but i really need this softwear installed .

When I run:
Code:
I get this output:
Code:
I need gcc and g++ installed; I installed both of these through yum.
I have looked through config.log, however I do not know what to look for in there for something that might be the problem.

I have been trying to get Wine to work in Fedora and have had nothing but problems. First of all, I can't open executables in the GUI. If I try, I get a message that says, "The program start.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close."
I can open .exe's in the terminal, but when I tried to install iTunes it wasn't able to complete the installation. I got an error message from SELinux that said something about a memory error, and then it asked me if I wanted to turn off some sort of memory management setting. I said yes and it asked me for my password, which I gave, and then it said "unable to grant access". It no longer gives me this error message (that's why I can't recall what it said verbatim), and instead just hangs at the point where I got the error message before. I've tried using Wine in Ubuntu before and could never get anything working in a half-decent way, so this isn't a big surprise.
