Hi, Pierre, I have already tried "sudo find / -name schema", but could not find the directory I am looking for. What should I search instead? For your reference, "sudo find / -name schema" find 3 directories, namely /usr/share/GConf/schema /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_xmlplus/schema /usr/lib/go-openoffice/basis3.2/share/registry/schema Despite the promising name of the first directory, it contains only one file: evoldap.schema Best Regards, On Sun, Oct 31, 2010 at 3:14 PM, Pierre Kleiber <pkleiber.hi@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Two utilities that help you find things are locate and find > Read about them by doing "man find" or "man locate" > > Cheers > > Auguste Pop offered the following remark on 10/30/10 01:06... >> >> Hi, >> >> Thank you for your reply.
