Feature changed by: Gerald Pfeifer (GeraldPfeifer) Feature #305803, revision 3 Title: improve command_not_found_helper speed - openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed + openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Susanne Oberhauser (froh) Description: In the discussion on opensuse-factory [opensuse-factory] issues with command-not-found speed (Message-ID: <20081210084607.GA2988@taygeta>), I've suggested a different approach: I'd very much prefer bash to tell me without any delay: Command not found. If this is not a typo, type "man make-it-work" for help. And then the make-it-work man page will tell you right away to run "make-it-work commandname' to locate and install the package providing fancytool. with a little practice you will go one back in history, prefix your last command with 'make-it-work ' and have fun... imho the current solution is solving a problem that doesn't really exist (pretend all software is preinstalled) and creates a new one (lag). Michal Vyskocil pointed out that such magic should at least look in /sbin and /usr/sbin and give a usefull message if the command is found there: command found in /sbin or /usr/sbin. Maybe retry as root, e.g. with 'sudo $command' -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305803
