slocate depends upon updatedb. So run updatedb which makes latest chages to the system to come under db's scope and list files when invoked by locate.When I am locating files while running the command as root locate *.png |more my PCQ Linux 8.0 returns an error warning: locate: could not open database: /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db: No such file or directory warning: You need to run the 'updatedb' command (as root) to create the database
For more details "man updatedb"
