Normal Linux commands to Locate your system files, INSTANTLY
Posted: Sat 31 Jan 2015, 00:16
Commands which should be added back into the system's terminal commands: "updatedb" and "locatedb" or "slocate".
Linux commands whose benefits is explained here.
Over the years many of us have found our "find" command to be taking longer and longer. This is due to the very fact that more and more data is on our HDD/USB/SSD/etc storage media than ever before.
Many of us home users have music, family pictures, videos, documents, etc where our PUPs have been useful in our housing this content.
Its no wonder that locating data whose name and location we've forgot, is taking longer and longer.
Linux, for many years has addressed this, but, in PUPs beginnings, this was not considered.
Today, with so much data in the home we need every element of assistance to quickly find data, as is possible.
In this thread, there are 7 individual solutions which allows the PUP user to locate any files of theirs, instantly. Several of these are related, either directly or indirectly. None of these exist today in any 32bit PUPs but is available in a few 64bit PUPs. As you navigate thru this thread, pay attention, in reverse alphabetic order, to:[list]
[*]a solution referenced by @Uten ===> found in this thread, here
[*]a solution by @StemSee===> found in this thread, here
[*]a solution by @Slavvo67===> found in this thread, here
[*]a solution from @Seacyd offered by @Semme===> found in this thread, here
[*]a solution by @Musher0===> found in this thread, here
[*]a solution by @MikeB===> found in this thread, here
[*]a solution which exist in the FATDOG64/LIghtHouse64 distros[/list]This is a formal request asking developers of WOOFCE/WOOFQ/WOOF/etc, the PUP builder systems, to please consider add slocate or updatedb-locatedb-locate so that these can benefit users in finding files quickly in their PUP systems. These commands are not new to Linux, rather, they have been overlooked in Puppy Linux.
The members, in this thread, have certified the benefit to its use, have participated providing feedback in their findings, and have develop extended solutions of command-use facilitating file searches.[/color]
