What happened to the "locate" command in 10.1 in the past couple of weeks? It suddenly vanished. I used it not that long ago (?a couple of weeks ago) and now I get the error message '-bash: locate: command not found'!
I think this version of locate came with a limitation on number of uses - can't remember how many, but once you've used them all up, that's it. No more locate. :-)
That must be it- I've used it twice, reached the limit. Guess only way out is to reinstall 10.1 but this time I'll be more economical with the use of 'locate'. :-)
Having said that, you could have a look at /usr/bin/locate to see if it's still there.
Also try "type locate".
It's there but for some reason it's spelt "locale". :-) (I think James has the answer.) Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1
