I have installed xmedcon-0.11.0-1.i686.rpm on my Fedora Linux machine. I ran the RPM file. Since I'm kind of new to Linux, I want to ask, where can I find the installed file and how can I run it?
Thanks.
From terminal use
$ rpm -ql xmedcon-0.11.0-1.i686 </code>
/etc/xmedconrc
/usr/bin/medcon
/usr/bin/xmedcon
You will see all the files installed. The main files will be above. From command line
run
$ /usr/bin/xmedcon
In case you already know the command name, you can type which medcon in a terminal and it should tell you where the executable is located.
And as full.stack.xchg said, just typing the name of the executable on a command line (or finding it in the graphical menu) will start the program.

I'm currently connected to a remote computer running on Linux and I have a random directory that arose after running one of my C programs. The directory name is of this form: 'H$'204'blahblah''u$'[]'$'234', very strange.
When I try to remove it via rm dir_name the terminal spits out Illegal variable name. The same behavior arises even when I use the -f flag. Then I attempted to remove it by clicking on the directory in the explorer (on vscode) and I get an error saying Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory.
I'm running this on csh shell if that helps.
Update: Running: rm ./H<tab> worked. Thanks to Jamie Guinan!
The magic word is ls -b. It will display non printable characters in an escaped way, so that you will be able to enter them back.

I have an executable file ffmpeg in /home/juping/. If I change my working directory to /home/juping/ with the command cd /home/juping/, I can run the executable file ffmpeg by running ./ffmpeg. If I do not change the working directory, can I then still run the executable file by its full path like .//home/juping/ffmpeg? I tried but it doesn't work.
You can execute it by typing
/home/juping/ffmpeg
The ./ point to current directory.

New kali linux terminal starts with a bash error:
bash: ‘export: command not found
I think I messed up my bash environment when workin on a jsnode installation and do not know how to fix it.
I think I need to fix my environment variable, but do not know where that is in Kali. Appreciate any help.
There seems to be a typo in a command. It should be export but instead it's ‘export. The errant character is Unicode U+2018, LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK.
The first place to look is your .bashrc, then depending on your OS, .profile or .bash_profile, then any number of other Bash startup scripts that might get called like .bash_functions, or higher up the chain like /etc/bash.bashrc.

Is it possible to substitute binary with same name alternative? I have /usr/bin/qtcreator
I want to use alternative version but /usr/bin/qtcreator is binary but not alternative.
What the way I should do this?
You could place your new qtcreator at /usr/local/bin/qtcreator, that location should have preference over /usr/bin.
You can check the possible locations for binaries and the order is which they are searched with echo $PATH and you can check which binary will be called with which qtcreator
In Bash:
$ alias qtcreator="/usr/local/bin/qtcreator"
or make sure the path to desired binary is mentioned before the undesired path in $PATH (... as mentioned by others).

I try to create folder with arabic character at centos linux..
For example when i type
mkdir الاختبار
is working but when i try to view a folder using ls it's turn into question mark
i have another centos and but doesnt have this problem, already try to install arabic language
yum install "Arabic Support"
still not work for me and also try to install font
yum install dejavu-sans-mono-fonts
Does anybody have clue about this problem ?
Set your locale to something that uses UTF-8. The default "C" locale doesn't support any non-ASCII characters. Try this for example:
export LANG=en_US.utf8
Alternatively you can force ls to print the file names without mangling (this will work assuming your terminal supports UTF-8):
ls --show-control-chars
