[00:16] <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
[00:18] <JoseeAntonioR> paul_: What are you trying to find, exactlu?
[00:19] <paul_> Im just trying to find a ez way to find the file that starts a program
[00:20] <paul_> to use "run as root" on it
[00:23] <JoseeAntonioR> paul_: May I ask in which folder is it, and what's the name of the file that starts the program?
[00:25] <paul_> Lets see if I can explain this better
[00:29] <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.
[00:31] <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
[00:33] <JoseeAntonioR> paul_: You should do this in a terminal "sudo /path/to/file/filename.extension"
[00:36] <paul_> I am never sure what the path to file is..
[00:37] <paul_> or the files name for that matter
[00:39] <paul_> This is in general not just for that program
[00:40] <JoseeAntonioR> paul_: Yes, it is in general, when you have an excecutable file, and want to run it as root.
[00:43] <paul_> ok thanks 4 your time

[12:07] <sazawal> anyone, help?
[12:15] <sazawal> anyone here to help?
[12:35] <Sidewinder1> sazawal, After waiting 5 - 10 minutes here it is permissible to ask in #ubuntu and not really be considered cross-posting, I think.
[12:36] <Sidewinder1> Oops, you're already there, sorry.

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