| paul_ | Hi all- In windows to find a exe file i would R click the icon hit property and then click find target - Is there a way to do that in 11.10 | 00:16 |
|---|---|---|
| JoseeAntonioR | paul_: What are you trying to find, exactlu? | 00:18 |
| paul_ | Im just trying to find a ez way to find the file that starts a program | 00:19 |
| paul_ | to use "run as root" on it | 00:20 |
| JoseeAntonioR | paul_: May I ask in which folder is it, and what's the name of the file that starts the program? | 00:23 |
| paul_ | Lets see if I can explain this better | 00:25 |
| paul_ | I wanted to start QWBFS Manager is sudo mode or root (not sure what it is realy called) so I did a search for file with qwbfs in the file name then I just kept clicking the files untill i clicked the one that started the program. | 00:29 |
| paul_ | I was just wundering if there is a ez way to find the file that starts a program from the desktop icon...Like in windows | 00:31 |
| JoseeAntonioR | paul_: You should do this in a terminal "sudo /path/to/file/filename.extension" | 00:33 |
| paul_ | I am never sure what the path to file is.. | 00:36 |
| paul_ | or the files name for that matter | 00:37 |
| paul_ | This is in general not just for that program | 00:39 |
| JoseeAntonioR | paul_: Yes, it is in general, when you have an excecutable file, and want to run it as root. | 00:40 |
| paul_ | ok thanks 4 your time | 00:43 |

| Sidewinder1 | sazawal, After waiting 5 - 10 minutes here it is permissible to ask in #ubuntu and not really be considered cross-posting, I think. | 12:35 |

| asterismo | hey guys | 16:08 |
| asterismo | i'm starting to read about programming | 16:08 |
| asterismo | my idea is to reach the level of making small applications | 16:09 |
| asterismo | what language should i learn deeply? and what toolkit? | 16:09 |
| stlsaint | asterismo: not a specific language retired | 16:18 |
| asterismo | stlsaint > C++, Java, Python | 16:24 |
| asterismo | GTK, QT | 16:24 |
| stlsaint | asterismo: if you want to choose a "easier" language, python is the a good choice | 16:26 |
