[12:58] I m a moderately new user to Ubuntu, and am interested in finding out new things in it [12:59] Can anyone tell me which file gets changed when I do a sudo apt-get update? [13:00] I mean I want to know where is the list of all the softwares in my system.... [13:00] Any help appreciated! [13:00] it's /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin [13:00] and /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin [13:00] Thanks a lot bioterror!!! [13:01] I am not able to read the contents fo the file. It seems to be a binary file [13:01] Can I in anyway read this? [13:02] Or is there a text version available? [13:02] you want to list all the stuff you have installed? [13:02] no [13:02] what you are after? [13:02] I came to know that is here /var/lib/dpkg/status [13:02] I want to know where are "all" the softwares availble for download kept on my system... [13:02] for some foolish reasons u can say [13:03] files you have used for installing programs? [13:03] I'm trying to understand what you're after [13:04] no buddy, I mean, when I type the name of a software not installed on my system, it comes to know that it is not installed but there is software by that name? [13:04] how does it come to know this? [13:06] Hope u got my intention [13:06] yes, when you type a command in shell, it tells you command not found, but you can install it [13:06] like htop, for example [13:06] ya [13:08] sorry for the interruption, my connection got reset [13:08] it's a bash script, I assume [13:09] is the list of files not stored anywhere on my system, then? [13:09] like the list of softwares installed on my system.... [13:10] i cannot log in to my GTalk accounts on precise [13:10] claimes the password is incorrect, although I know for a fact it's correct! [13:11] jobinrv: what was your question? I just got here [13:11] i wanted to know where is the list of all the softwares available for download stored on my system... [13:12] the way /var/lib/dpkg/status stores the list of installed softwares [13:13] I don't think you can vrowse the list [13:13] is in a tar.gz file [13:13] what are you looking for exactly? [13:13] i just want to know how does the shell come to know that there is no software installed on my PC named "XYZ", when i type XYZ but it knows that it is a software [13:13] jobinrv, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommandNotFoundMagic [13:14] you could install apt-file to figure out which package holds a certain file [13:14] i just want to know this for some silly reason [13:14] jobinrv, I gave you what you're looking for ;) [13:15] thanks bioterror, will check it in a moment [13:15] I am no Ubuntu developer, but I guess it has to do with the updatedb mechanism [13:16] it compares the installed package list with the last list it got from apt-get update [13:17] Thanks bioterror, Amijai! Got it!

I tried 'ln -ds ' to make symlinks, but they don't show up in the ftp. Then, of course, ln -d to a usb drive failed. Any ideas?
