Thread: Created file - but cannot find with locate command?
i have created file on ubuntu desktop. however, @ command line, if enter following....
locate testfile.txt or
locate testfile
doesn't provide expected result (i.e. location of file) whereas if try file, shows file location.
can shed light on this?
you need run command updatedb as root before can find created file using locate
