Those who migrate to Debian variant from Red Hat will be missing the convenient of rpm -qf.

For those of you who don’t know what is rpm -qf <filename>, this command is very useful if you used rpm package management system. It will tell you which package manage that file.

Many people are not aware of the Debian alternative for rpm -qf. First you need  to install apt-file by using the following command.

• -sudo apt-get install apt-file

Now you can search the package of the file by using:

• sudo apt-file search –fixed-string $<filename>

That’s it! I hope this will help you in your troubleshooting, debugging, resolving version conflicts, etc…

Recently I’ve noticed that there’s no size column in My Computer or Windows Explorer. Then when I tried to look in the details list, it’s not listed as an option.

Very wired indeed. After a few rounds of Googling, I’ve found that Windows Search 4.0 is the culprit. Before I give a boot to Windows Search 4.0, I’ve found better solution.

The problem could be due to during installation of Windows Search 4.0, my Property Schema Cache was not created correctly. Deleting the following registry key solved my problem.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PropertySystem\PropertySchema\@CachedSchema
