Hei, Ubuntu 22.10

I don't get search results while searching for files both with databrowser and terminal. Concrete: "Search" stopps after search in the first mentioned directory.

A lot of "permission denied in the terminal. F.e.: find: ‘/home/jac/.cache/doc’: Permission denied find: ‘/home/jac/.cache/dconf’: Permission denied find: ‘/home/jac/.gvfs’: Permission denied

Thanks for help.

    please add ls -la for the cache directory and some of the file/dirs it does this. .cache should be owned by "jac" so if you use jac to search that notice should not show. Regarding terminal do sudo updatedb and then use locate {whatyouwanttosearch} It is a lot quicker and does not error out on permissions

  • @Rinzwind Thank You! 1.I can find files now with locate but not with GUI file browser. It doesnt work. 2.After sudo updatedb I got this result: jac@jac-Aspire-F5-573:~$ sudo updatedb [sudo] password for jac: /usr/bin/find: '/run/user/1000/doc': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: '/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied
