ls -la | head -5

total 8 dr-xr-xr-t  2 user user 4096 okt 24 21:36 . drwxr-xr-x 59 user user 4096 okt 27 15:33 ..

you can't write documents folder because have w bit turned off, , t (sticky bit) turned on. can fix documents directory default with:

$ chmod 0755 ~/documents

as far previous files you'll have try recall names of of files sure in documents folder , locate one. when find one, others should in same folder.

you can with:

 $ locate -ir "locate -ir "intel.*pdf" /home/users/l/j/ljames/documents/intelliapp releases.pdf /home/users/l/j/ljames/documents/intelliapp releases2.pdf /home/users/l/j/ljames/documents/intelliapp releases3.pdf /home/users/l/j/ljames/documents/intelliapp releases4.pdf /home/users/l/j/ljames/documents/intelliapp releases5.pdf /mnt2/datadrive/extroot/home/users/l/j/ljames/documents/intelliapp releases.pdf /mnt2/datadrive/extroot/home/users/l/j/ljames/documents/intelliapp releases2.pdf /mnt2/datadrive/extroot/home/users/l/j/ljames/documents/intelliapp releases3.pdf /mnt2/datadrive/extroot/home/users/l/j/ljames/documents/intelliapp releases4.pdf /mnt2/datadrive/extroot/home/users/l/j/ljames/documents/intelliapp releases5.pdf /opt/adobe/reader9/browser/intellinux/nppdf.so /opt/adobe/reader9/reader/intellinux/plug_ins/acroform/adobepdf.xdc /opt/adobe/reader9/reader/intellinux/plug_ins/acroform/pmp/libpdf417pmp.pmp /opt/adobe/reader9/reader/intellinux/plug_ins/annotations/stamps/words.pdf /opt/adobe/reader9/reader/intellinux/plug_ins/annotations/stamps/enu/dynamic.pdf /opt/adobe/reader9/reader/intellinux/plug_ins/annotations/stamps/enu/signhere.pdf /opt/adobe/reader9/reader/intellinux/plug_ins/annotations/stamps/enu/standardbusiness.pdf

the above example regex search using locate. in above example know saved "intelli" document .pdf file. locating document show directory other documents in same area.

the $ command prompt, command following prompt. text after commandline output of command.
