Guest LilBambi Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hey, Banbi! Did you see the post I put up earlier, with the output, after calling "updatedb", as root, and the output that it gave me? It only went that far, and not further. root@Microknoppix:/# updatedb --output=onederer /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied /usr/bin/find: `/run/user/1000/gvfs': Permission denied It was done using legal switches, no switches, whatever I tried to dream up to get rid of the "Permission denied", as root. It never went past that point. And I had no control that it would use the ?run/usr/1000/gvfs to execute my command. I don't understand what to do about it, and I'm giving up. I don't have the answers. I appreciate the clue that you sent me, But that command is well and good for a system that's functioning as it should. In my case, you can see above, the results to"updatedb". I'm closing this post, because it's going nowhere. Many people on the WEB, have posted the same problem, I've seen no resolution for them also. It could be that there was some coding that was added to the OS, that broke other things in the process. I can't tell for sure. Anyway, we can't win them all. Thank you all for your help. I really appreciate it. Cheers! Yes, which is why I said, just use updatedb without switches. It always works then.

onederer Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Ah. For some reason, I thought you were working with a hard drive installation. A Knoppix "portable install" on a flash flash drive (with persistence) is nothing new, actually (see this). And you can certainly do something like that with other Debian-based distros (for example, I have the Debian-based MX-14 on a flash drive here, with persistence). So I can see how what you're doing could be useful. Is what you have something like this? Yes that's what I'm doing with Knoppix in a flash drive. But I've been blocking Adriane from being installed, to save disk space. I don't plan on using it. The Knoppix setup is quite intensive, and very compact. There's a lot of stuff in there. It's like doing a Christopher Columbus, discovering new and ineresting capailities of this OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturnian Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 onederer, you've got me wanting to take a look. The most recent Knoppix release I have is 6.2.1 -- on a CD. I was kinda surprised to see that I noted that it was burned on 12-8-10 -- almost four years ago! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onederer Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think you will be surprised with the changes since 4 years ago. It's now Knoppix-to-go-anywhere. And the price for this technology is still free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
