| 461841 | 2006-06-09 06:10:00 | Hi Guys, I need help with the Extention for Ubuntu like mp3 extention and all that. I can't find the code for my terminal in Ubuntu. Like for zip file (zip file extention for Ubuntu in google search) I saw no code for that. I wonder what type of word do you type in to search for those extentions. I did try to find help in Ubuntu web but shows 0 searches. | MTLance (6768) | ||
| 461842 | 2006-06-09 06:15:00 | I'm not sure I fully understand the question. Do you mean how do you find any file with the extension of say .mp3 or .zip? I this case you use the * (wildcard) e.g. *.mp3 or *.zip. If you want to find a file using the terminal, you can use locate or slocate: e.g. locate *.mp3 will find all files with an mp3 extension on your mounted partitions |

| 461843 | 2006-06-09 06:18:00 | In Linux/Unix, the "extensions" on file names aren't important to the system; they are just part of the filename, (mainly as a hint to the user). The "." character is just an ordinary legal character in filenames; not a separator. Unlike Micrososft OSs, *nix just looks at the first few characters of a file when determining what sort of file it is. There's a file called "magic" (what else could it be called?) which contains all the sorts of file known. If you want to know what a file is for, the file command will tell you. |

| 461844 | 2006-06-09 06:24:00 | No not finding files. I mean opening them. I managed to set up the Network with Microsoft Windows XP and wanted to open those mp3, zip, and etc. Those files. What code do they use? | MTLance (6768) | ||
| 461845 | 2006-06-09 06:33:00 | Grrr. The Linux is making me mad. When you play music in Linux once you opened the file and playing it and you want to add the other music on the play list you need to add it from totem. In Windows you just select the file and click add to now playing list. Is there better convinient way to play music files? | MTLance (6768) | ||

| 461847 | 2006-06-09 06:39:00 | Don't know but saw some codes for Ubuntu but cannot find back. I think it was for zip files format for Ubuntu. I've lost my history so can't race it back. | MTLance (6768) | ||
| 461848 | 2006-06-09 06:41:00 | That Tazz guy says he can open any files from Windows. Nut I can't. I need codes for that. | MTLance (6768) | ||
| 461849 | 2006-06-09 06:50:00 | what are these codes you are talking about, and how do you use them? You should be able to just double click on zip files to open them, or type unzip if you are in command line. |
