How to find out what files a package has installed?

Sometime you installed a package, but you don't know the name of the command to run and you don't know the name and location of the configuration files. There are conventions but is there a way to show those information explicitly?

You can try
$locate
for example. you write
$locate firefox
and you will see all files about firefox.
That's a partial solution. Suppose I installed a package called gtk-vim, but the binary is gvim and I didn't know that. If I use
locate gtk-vim
it will not find "gvim".
Besides, different packages may install files with names identical or partially identical. What I want to find out is what files a specific package installed or removed, or changed, just like the deb package manager in ubuntu.

  • How to find out what access a group has

    Hello. I inherited a portal that has a lot of groups & some of which do not appear to be in use from what I can see. I would like to get rid of these groups if they are no longer viable. So, I would like to know if there are any api's that I could use to interrogate a particular group and to list any items the group has access to.
    Thanks!
    Todd

    The table portal.wwsec_sys_priv$ contains the information on what components, items, pages, etc. a group has privileges to. Here's one [example query|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=461824] someone posted awhile back.

  • How to find out what BOE Service Pack is installed

    I'd like to check what SP we had installed on our BOXIR2 Enterprise Server. The version number is 11.5.8.8265, I'd like to know if SP1 or SP2 is installed, or even none of the SP is installed. Thanks.

    the information you need can be found via:
    The build version of BOXI Enterprise can be found in the Settings area of the CMC. Build version of individual services can be obtained from the CCM.
    For client tools (Designer, DekI, etc.), right click on the executable (BusObj.exe, Designer.exe, etc.) and choose Properties > Versions. (For a Windows installation, the executables are installed at the following path: <BO install dir>\win32_x86).

    Assuming that [auditing was enabled|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/security.htm#sthref2916], the command
    AUDIT CONNECT WHENEVER NOT SUCCESSFULThat will write audit records when there is an unsuccessful login. Depending on how you've configured auditing, those records will either be written to the SYS.AUD$ table, in which case you can query them through a few different views, or to a file on the operating system that you can grep.

  • Does anyone know if there's any way to find out what files in my Library

         Does anyone know if there's any way to find out what files in my Library I can delete? I just cleaned off my HD onto a media drive as a back up so all my movies documents and photos are gone but my Library seems to be a huge space hog eating sixty gigs of space and I do have alot of apps but they don't take up a third of that space... Any ideas how I can figure out what is wasting all this space? I had Spring Cleaning once but found it to be rather confusing as to what was essential to the OS and what not...
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Get free OmniDisk Sweeper. I can't imagine how you could have sixty GB in that folder. My entire ~Library isn't even 1GB. Are you sure you're not talking about your entire Home folder?
    Can you post a screenshot of the contents of that folder.
    Check again. Are you sure you moved all the Movies etc. out? Could have left duplicates of everything behind when you did this.

  • How to find out what is the lock key for the computer

    How to find out what is the lock key for the computer?

    You don't.
    If you forgot or lost the password, all you can practically do is reset it.
    The manner in which you do so depends on what version of OS X you are running. The older versions utilize the reset password utility on your recovery/re-installation disk/drive.
    On Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
    Boot to your Lion Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
    Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.

    Hi Niel, the article I get directed to, doesn't really explain the difference between 6th and 7th generation Classics. Is there anywhere (maybe on the Apple website) I can input the Serial Number and Part Number to be exact ?

  • How to find out what Oracle version?

    Hi,
    Could anyone tell me how to find out what Oracle version is on your AIX/Unix machine? It looks like Oracle Installer doesn't use the native OS installation(installp,pkgadd) process, so I can't use lslpp/pkginfo to find out what filesets are installed.
    Thanks
    HQ.

    Hi!
    As far ar Oracle version is concerned, you can find it at the database level after connecting to the database
    select * from v$version;
    i am not sure if there is someway to find at the o/s level.
    Good luck
