    problem with grep/find works before - after update - problem

    hi
    i think that's a tread for the devolpment. i don't no why. my problem is that is was this command 100 of times and it still works like it's defined.
    but i run it again (got about - i think 3 updates in the last 4 days). now when i run this command in my home directory "~" i always get the ouput:
    grep: Ungültige Option -- »�«
    Aufruf: grep [OPTION]… MUSTER [DATEI]…
    Rufen Sie »grep --help« auf, um weitere Informationen zu erhalten.
    i try to translate it: grep: unknow option (that's a lie)
    --> look at the uptput !
    i now how to call grep and let us bet it's a mo****** about your .gfs (by the side this hassle me in some more situations)
    the command i showned works in every directory - without my home ( help.
    oh yes - i tryed to run the command as super-user --> id -a gives me when i run " su -": uid=0(root) gid=0(root) Gruppen=0(root)
    when i run "sudo /bin/bash": -->uid=0(root) gid=0(root) Gruppen=0(root) (the same)
    this is a big problem for me - i am no "mouse freak" - please think about your implemention of your fu*** .gfs. when the problem is
    between my ears (what i don't belive) give me an anserwer please.
    grep -inH 'find_anithing' `find . -type f`
    running with id: uid=0(root) gid=0(root) Gruppen=0(root)
    : find: "./.gvfs": Keine Berechtigung -> no permission ???
    grep: Ungültige Option -- »�«
    Aufruf: grep [OPTION]… MUSTER [DATEI]…
    Rufen Sie »grep --help« auf, um weitere Informationen zu erhalten.
    as a hint: i think the problem is in the commands - but i cant't find the return-code why.
    cheers

    Please care to elaborate with some examples of what is wrong.

    hi guy
    that's a nice answer: Please care to elaborate with some examples of what is wrong.
    but i think i am to stupid to understand what you mean with your post. that's not a example it is reality.
    cheers

    Easy, man (or should I say "sachte" ?). Look at the time of my post then you understand what I meant. Anyway, what
    Code:
    grep -inHr -e 'find_anything' .
    gives you? I suppose it's not grep's fault. Something in the output of find makes grep think it's an option, and not a file name. I think that you have a file somewhere in your home directory named, say Grönemeyer -Ö.mp3, i.e. having a space-dash sequence in its name. Try
    Code:
    grep -inH -e 'find_anything' -- `find . type f`
    To find the "offending" file, try
    Code:
    find -name '* -*'
    By the way, invoking find from grep's command line as you did can give weird results if you have some files with unusual characters in their names. Better use either
    Code:
    find some/dir -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -inHe 'find_anything' --
    or
    Code:
    find some/dir -type f -exec grep -inHe 'find_anything' -- {} +
    Alternatively, you can invoke grep with the -r option as I did above. It's a GNU extension.

    hi sragge
    thanks for your reply - you are online just now - but:
    the grep and find combinations results in:
    first: find: "./.gvfs": Keine Berechtigung (by the side - i am running this as a super user !)
    thats the output of different combinations of grep and find:

    grep: lseek fehlgeschlagen: Nicht erlaubter Seek
    grep: รวมเพลง: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
    grep: เพื่อรัก.เพื่อชีวิต.mp3: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
    grep: ./Musik/brennen/ความอ่อนแอ: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
    grep: บอยพีชเมคเกอร์.mp3: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
    grep: ./Musik/brennen/เพลงนางฟ้า: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
    grep: lseek fehlgeschlagen: Nicht erlaubter Seek
    grep: iJigg.com.mp3: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
    grep: ./Musik/brennen/02-ไม่หล่อแต่รักจริง: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
    what i learned again - told me every time my students - a computer is a high speed idiot !.
    what everybody (me too) is to think about exception handling !.
    cheers
    and have fun (oh thats thai language which cause the problem)

    The problem is not so the Thai language by itself as the spaces. For example,

    This means that you have a file named
    ./Musik/brennen/ความอ่อนแอ บอยพีชเมคเกอร์.mp3
    Code:
    grep anything `find -name 'ความอ่อนแอ บอยพีชเมคเกอร์.mp3'`
    is the same as
    Code:
    grep anything ./Musik/brennen/ความอ่อนแอ บอยพีชเมคเกอร์.mp3
    Do you see the problem now?

    hi sragge

    AFAIK, the .gvfs user mount point has always been created drwx------ (it's a feature of the fuse filesystem, I think) so they are not readable by anyone other than the owner. Running 'find' as super user does not circumvent that.

    hi steeldriver
    i know that - but have a look here:

    hi that's the output of: ls -la
    d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs
    for me a strange behavior !

    that's my grep - combined with find:
    grep -inH 'blablu' `find . -type f`

    and this command results in:
    root@tschang:~ 15:05-> grep -inH 'blablu' `find . -type f`
    find: "./.gvfs": Keine Berechtigung (means access denied)
    grep: Ungültige Option -- »�«
    in english: grep was called with an illegal option ( for sure not !!!)
    this hapen only when the command cross my home-directory.
    ah - nobody have the same (and for my scripts it is a big problem) problem ?
    Aufruf: grep [OPTION]… MUSTER [DATEI]…
    Rufen Sie »grep --help« auf, um weitere Informationen zu erhalten.
    root@tschang:~ 15:09-> id -a
    uid=0(root) gid=1000(richi) Gruppen=0(root),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip), 46(plugdev),109(lpadmin),124(sambashare),1000(rich i)

    even the same result (before the UID was set with my own C-program to keep my environment)
    root@tschang:/home/richi# grep -inH 'blablu' `find . -type f`
    find: "./.gvfs": Keine Berechtigung
    grep: Ungültige Option -- »�«
    Aufruf: grep [OPTION]… MUSTER [DATEI]…
    Rufen Sie »grep --help« auf, um weitere Informationen zu erhalten.
    root@tschang:/home/richi# id -a
    uid=0(root) gid=0(root) Gruppen=0(root),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip), 46(plugdev),109(lpadmin),124(sambashare),1000(rich i)

    as you see - i run this command with full root-access. there must be some combination of bits in the .gvfs that make the grep or find confuesed .(got a similar problem with an ethernt-driver long time ago - driver got a combination of bit tell him - hey that's a timeout wait 30 seconds .
    normaly this post will be a thread - but i know to exclude the .gvfs. but it should be interesting to find the reason. try it in your home and if you ain't get the same result as i than i think it is a very interesting problem which can hapen ervery where.
    ciao

    Again, the grep error grep: Ungültige Option has nothing to do with .gvfs/

    Try this
    Code:
    touch '/tmp/x -Q'
    grep -inH 'blabla' `find /tmp -type f`
    You're mixing three different, completely unrelated issues here.
    1. grep choking on unquoted file names with spaces and other unusual characters.
    2. ~/.gvfs not being read accessible even by root. It's not a bug, see this thread.
    3. ls -l ~/.gvfs giving question marks. This is LP bug #212789.
