@Stacey did you intend to search for a file that contains the 5-character string .code ? Then use either grep -FR .code … or fgrep -R .code … or grep -R '\.code' …. In a regular expression, . means “any character”, so your command returns lines containing code anywhere except at the very beginning.
@Stacey Yes. The single quotes prevent shell expansion, so for example \.code would pass .code to grep (because the shell expands \. to .), whereas '\.code' passes \.code to grep. Using .code or '.code' passes .code to grep, and . is a regexp metacharacter.
I know we have answers about this on the site. Look for questions tagged grepquoting.
@Gilles @Stacey "whereas '\.code' passes .code to grep" should be that it passes \.code to grep. It may have taken him thousands of posts, but finally he's made a typo.
I installed Fedora in a computer, everything works fine except the internet. The internet is very very slow in my computer using Fedora, in the same place there are computers using Windows, IOS and Android and they work perfectly, just the one with Fedora.
The same computer was using Windows and...
@derobert It might be an answerable question. I once has a computer that was running a DSN cache service which was misbehaving. I was completely unaware that service was running. Intermittent DNS failures. Yay. Amazingly, someone managed to diagnose it over the net.
I can't remember what that DNS cache service was called, but it is all archived in my email.
@derobert The kind of people who ask these questions are absolutely terrible at providing details. And when they finally get around to it, they do it in blurry screenshots.
Yeah. And from " have read several post talking about disabling IPv6, issues with the wireless card, etc." you'd think OP would know those details are important.
