Ubuntu :: Why Didn't Files Get Found
Mar 12, 2010
I was seaching for a particular file (WAV) and using Applications>Places>Search for files resulted in finding none of the files I was supposed to haveHowever I then used Gnome Do and bingo there was one of them, then used the "reveal" option and there were all my files.Does anyone know why the ubuntu file search facility could not find them , but the Gnome Do could? By the way in the system search facility I sued *.wav and found other wav files, and then used DA* (DA being the first two letters of the file) and found all sorts of data labeled files etc, but none of the ones I was looking for. In 'Gnome Do' I typed 'DA' and there it was. I would really like to know the answer for future reference.

I have a Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 webcam which is supposed to work OK with Linux. I use Open SUSE 11.0 and under gqcam I have multiple images. And in black & white. See here: (if the image doesn't show it can be found there: WebcamOpenSuSe on Flickr - Photo Sharing! So, I wonder: is this a problem of gqcam or a driver problem? The only thing that maybe I didn't do right is to install the Gspca/Spca5xx driver found here: HCL/Web Cameras - openSUSE because my camera isn't on the list of UVC compliant webcams.My camera is seen as: Bus 005 Device 002: ID 046d:08b2 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 4000

On a KDE4 environment after downloading some music from rapidshare with JDownloader the archives self-extracted with the symbol in some of the file names. Those files couldn't be renamed or deleted, the file manager said that the files didn't exist - very weird. The files should have had some swedish characters in their file names. Now I'm stuck with those files on my machine. Anyone knows how to get rid of them?

i don't understand this, why do you have to mount a usb or cd to use them? its such a hassle, in windows the usb/cd just works, but in linux you have to mount it, why? when ever i shutdown in linux, i am using ubuntu it says my drive didn't unmount on shutdown and it might damage my files?

I'm trying to install Cinelerra because it has a plugin to do chromakey. I found a .deb and installed it, but now I don't know how to start the program. It didn't make a shortcut in my main menu, and typing "cinelerracv" returns "command not found"Did I install it wrong, or not at all? What should I try next?

I cancelled a partition resize accidently and the restarted it and it went on it's merry way. after it had resize my 500G partition into a 100 and 400 I noticed that most of my files were gone. I have my Documents folder, but my Music, Kids TV shows, wallpapers, and Pictures are gone. I starting going thru url to try an fix this as well as trolling the forums. At the moment I have 1 program going thru the drive's image, and another going thru the actual drive. While still waiting for this I looked in the trash. lots of files, I attempted to copy them out. Apparently on my 500G drive I have 14Tb of files.After sudoing Trash I was able to get in and I see that there are some odd sized files. The largest of them are:
File name file size
#6463091 2.7Tb
#14114451 2.5Tb
#6461878 2.1Tb
And these are about the size of I had on there, the largest being more or less what I had before I moved off some data:
File name file size
#6461059 544G
#6462620 52G
#14106973 7.9G
#3467474 3.9G
Also using ddrescue I made and imagine file, sadly I can't mount it as an iso. when I try to mount it following the datarecovery guide it says no file system found. I have e2fsck going thru it atm.

I am a pretty new user to linux, I am trying to run a program called car whisperer. The file can be downloaded here trifinite site - the home of the trifinite.group the readme says to install just type $make #make install but this does nothing and I am not sure how to install it. There is a file called makefile which I try to run in terminal but it just gives me all sorts of errors about not being able to find files and directories. I have seen it run and the person simply types ./carwhisperer to run the program but I also get no directory or file here as well (probably cause I have not installed). I was able to install some programs using sudo apt-get install (filename) but I haven't found this command to work for this program.

I have a Netbook Remix install on an SD card that won't boot. Grub2 in the recovery mode shows it fails finding the root files by using UUID. It's my first Grub2 install and I'm not sure how to go about debugging it. The machine boots the same version from a USB stick.

i'd like to know the total filesize of all files found with the find command, so
Code:
find -iname '*.mpg' | xargs -I {} du -sh {}
but this gives me the filesize of each file, since each line is passed to "du".
how can I pass the whole list through the pipe?

I was using the following command to search for tmp files older than 15 days for deletionI used "ls -l" first just in case
Code:
find somedirectory/ -type f -ctime +15 -exec ls -l {} ;
then i noticed that occasionally i get a "No such file or directory" error
When I looked at the directory, the file was not there.How does "find" find a file that doesn't exist?Is it possible that the file can be deleted right at the moment after a file is found and before the command executed?

I am Vamsi from Alcatel-Lucent. We have a software to configure the wireless broadband devices to the Linux machine. Till now, it was running on FC-5. When we need to add any new device, we used to add it in airprime.c, sw.h and usb-serial.c under /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/serial directoy.
Now we are trying to upgrade the system to FC-12. But I am not able to find any kernal files under /usr/src/kernels/2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE/drivers/usb/serial directory. I saw in some websites that the kernal files can be found at: /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/linux-2.6.31/drivers/usb/serial. But in my system, there is no rpmbuild directory.

I've got a simple command that does almost what I want.
The following will locate all files with a suffix of '_compressed.swf' and copy each into its same directory with a '.bak2' appended:
However, I need to replace '_compressed.swf' with '_content.swf' I'd like to use find, rather than recursive flag on cp for consistency.
Objective
In: /content/somefile_compressed.swf
Out: /content/somefile_content.swf

I recently install 13.37 x64 and I'm attempting to get my video card going but I'm having some problems with X11 currently. After running xorgsetup I checked the xorg.conf file with VI editor and the device was configured as "modesetting". I have the "nouveau" driver blacklisted and attempted to use the more stable "nv" driver with my GeForce 9800 GT and the xserver crashes claiming several files can not be found/accessed. The "vesa" driver issues a highly garbled screen and crashes as well.
The driver now claims a kernel module has possession of the video card and the "nv" driver will no longer work. Anyone have any idea because this did not happen when I used version 13.1 x64 with the same card and had X11 configured with "nv" until I could install the Nvidia proprietary driver.
Edit: (update) I reinstalled 13.37 again and this time it registered the X11 server under "nv" as the driver using xorgsetup, yet it still required the "nouveau" driver edited in to actually enable X11. I'm going the SBo Nvidia packages possibly later tonight or tomorrow anyway. Hopefully it should work fine until then.

I tried to mex two C files under matlab but faild. The system warned stdc++ cannot be found. I need the mexa64 files urgently. if someone can mex the C files using his/her machine. My server runs Debian GNU/Linux and the Matlab version is 64-bit R2010b. So the extension for the generated file would be mexa64. I'm using hotmail with the same user name as in here.

i tried to install wine in SLED11 but i got this error : configure: error: X development files not found. Wine will be built without X support, which probably isn't what you want.You will need to install development packages of Xlib/Xfree86 at the very least. Use the --without-x option if you really want this.

I installed openSUSE 11.3 on my iMac along with "Mac Snow Leopard, Windows 7" to make it a "Triple Boot". But after installing the "GRUB/LILO", it does not chain with the boot loader "REFIT" that I use. Each time I try to boot into "Windows/openSUSE", it shows a message: no boot device found, insert boot disc". So why isn't the "GRUB/LILO" working?
