[00:01] the ppa 4.5rc comes up as 4.4.90 when installed === machi is now known as albiitacarambiit [00:46] what i've heard from my logs there's a new kde version but it's not in kubuntu 10.04 by default === Kiry is now known as kiry === seraphim is now known as Guest94228 === gp[8]_ is now known as gp[8] [01:20] hello [01:21] can someone please look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/457621/ ? I'm trying to install MadWifi and I keep getting these errors. [01:36] hi anyone alive in here? [01:37] what about dead ones? [01:37] lol [01:38] ive got 277,000 txt files in over 1100 directories that i need to consolidate into one directory, whats the best approach as drag and drop is not working [01:41] welll [01:41] bash :) [01:41] a quick for loop in bash I'd think will do, what's the file structure? [01:42] thats what i need a loop but im not skilled enough to do that [01:43] well, what do you have for files structure? :) [01:43] can you give us a quick 'ls -l' paste on them? [01:44] /media/backup/MacDrive/2-raw/<1100 dir>/f0000000.txt [01:44] i want to move them all to 1-sorted/office/txt [01:45] this is a dead mac drive that I recovered, way to many txt files [01:45] wouldn't it make a conflict with 2 same-named files? [01:45] over 277k txt files [01:45] there are no two same named files [01:46] so each folder has 1 file? or so [01:46] each folder has between 200 to 500 txt files in it [01:48] is it something like if %1=*.txt then mv %1 /dest [01:48] or so [01:49] ok [01:49] .. [01:49] Hi [01:49] hi bigfree [01:50] oh! [01:50] find $1 -type f [01:51] snarkster: at the bash prompt :) [01:51] right [01:51] just learning this scripting thing.. I can recover data from dead hard drives, but cant write a script [01:51] sheesh always putting the cart before the horse [01:54] snarkster: ark, got dc'ed :| [01:54] anyhow [01:54] snarkster: mkdir ../temp; for folder in *; do cp $folder/* ../temp; done [01:54] there [01:54] I used cp, rather than mv, just to make sure if all goes well, then you can remove them [01:55] Typos_King_: I just need the txt files not the dirs [01:55] that's what is getting, $folder/* [01:55] right [01:55] when dealing with 277,000 files everything is slow [01:56] well [01:56] snarkster: you can make that $folder/*.txt I gather [01:56] or *txt eithe way [01:59] followed you exactly got nothing [01:59] have you checked temp? [01:59] or ../temp that is [02:00] its working, just not showing me anyhting [02:00] right [02:00] just let it finish then :) [02:00] i did for %folder/*txt in *' do mv $folder/*txt /dest [02:01] if you do a ls ../temp should show whatever it has so far, unless the cpu is quite taken up [02:01] this all happening remotely [02:01] hehe [02:01] so i dont see anyhting [02:01] not exactly what I typed :S [02:01] thus [02:01] unlesss you meant that was a nested loop [02:01] just got another prompt [02:02] what's wrong with [02:02] mkdir ../temp; for folder in *; do cp $folder/*txt ../temp; done [02:02] i dont know what i mean, i just knew there was a way to move these files to the proper place with out doing a tools>find and taking an hour to locate 277k files that i can do nothing with [02:03] mkdir ../temp; for folder in *; do cp $folder/*txt ../temp; done <-- should do the trick [02:03] but i dont need to make a directory I already have the proper place to put them [02:03] well [02:04] then when done, just move them over :) [02:04] which is why i skipped that part [02:04] no biggie, the temp is just that a temp [02:04] the idea is, not to do 'mv' right away, since you can screw that part up, using 'cp', ensures you have a good source still if somethings goes awry [02:05] anyone having problems with 4.4.5 update? I don't. :3 [02:05] so i did: for $folder/*txt in *;do mv $folder/*txt /media/backup/macdrive/1-sorted/office/txt/ : will this work? [02:05] yeah well [02:05] that won't work [02:05] damn [02:05] you're using a variable without being initialized [02:06] namely $folder [02:06] ok [02:06] thus [02:07] i really need to learn bash scripting. LOL [02:12] Kubuntu 10.04 w/kde 4....In previous version I could add wallpaper to different desktops...This does not seem possible with latest version is this because of Kde 4 [02:14] moes: system settings > desktop > multiple desktops [02:15] moes: enable different activity for each desktop [02:15] How do I setup kde 4.4.4 to use nm-applet at startup rather than knetwork-manager and make it permanent? === ola is now known as Guest20250 [02:46] after upgrading to 4.4.5 from the ppa, most part of my desktop turns black, and start menu etc. appears on top of screen, how can I downgrade to 4.4.4? [02:46] how do i get in to the kde channel in irc ? [02:46] the official not the kubuntu channel i mean [02:51] ah now i got it [02:57] sometimes, my KDE doesn't wake up from sleep or lock, forcing me to force shutdown [02:57] any ideas why this is happening? [03:22] a friend of mine is trying to start an otr session with me in kopete but it freezes while generating a private key, any ideas what's going on? [03:23] ybit: OTR always seems to freeze, probably its just gathering random data and just locking it up. [03:23] macintux_: any idea how to fix this problem? [03:23] no output is coming from the cli [03:23] when he attempts to start an otr [03:23] an otr session* [03:24] ybit: I don't think there is a fix other than changing the programming. Happens on Windows/Mac/Linux as well. [03:24] Adium, Pidgin, and apparently Kopete too. [03:24] that's sad, it works fine on my computer with other users, just not his computer.. [03:25] ybit: Mine always freezes while getting an IM just happens for a sec then were in business. [03:25] yeah, i know what you mean. this just doesn't generate a key. wish there was a way to generate some output so we know what's going on [03:26] ybit: You can generate a key in the options. [03:27] ybit: Have you tried launching kopete from the konsole? [03:28] macintux_: yes, no output [03:28] ybit: Ahh okay. Not sure what to do. [03:28] also he's attempting to generate a key manually from the otr config menu but it's still freezing [03:29] i found a bug that describes what he is experiencing, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237050 [03:29] but nobody has responded [03:29] ybit: Is it a relatively faster computer or a slow one? The keys generate using random data. If your generating a 4096bit key it takes a while. [03:29] it's twice as fast as mine [03:30] ybit: Hmm, Thats really weird. [03:32] maybe his version of otr is older..going to install a newer version..maybe... [03:33] well, we'll try the older version since i think it's the newest version [03:36] ybit: Do you really like Kopete? I personally prefer Pidgin. [03:36] yes, yes i do [03:36] and it's for my friend, not me good sir :) [03:37] it integrates nicely with the notifications dialogue [03:38] ybit: Ahh, okay. I'm working on my programming skills I wish I could reprogram a lot of things in Linux. === jtheuer is now known as jt|away [04:49] good morning ... anyone alive? [04:53] What's the default partition manager in Kubuntu? [04:54] ... what the h*ll is EVERYTHING in kubuntu? :/ [04:56] Specifically on 10.04 [04:57] Because there's references to qtparted [05:04] takyoji: gparted? [05:04] the kubuntu cd has gparted, so [05:05] Awkward, because for some reason when I boot the 10.04 LiveCD, and try simply opening gparted via command line, it says it's not installed. [05:05] I suppose it could just be temporarily installed in RAM [05:05] partitionmanager (gparted is not on the CD. neither is partitionmanager, but...) [05:05] hm [05:06] i was talking about the ubuntu cd, then i guess [05:07] otherwise someone is complaining about slowness on a 512MB RAM system, with 3 simultaneous applications; does that sound a little abnormal or typical for that amount of RAM?

[21:47] tdn: doesn't matter, if you got their faulty update, dkms might be broken [21:47] tdn: then it won't upgrade your video driver on a new kernel. [21:48] Torch, http://paste.adora.dk/P1707.html <- dkms status [21:48] tdn: not broken [21:48] tdn: also, you have the correct video driver for the latest kubuntu kernel, it seems [21:48] Torch, note, this is from 2.6.32-22-generic (which I have booted to now). [21:48] Torch, should I run dkms from the new broken kernel? [21:48] tdn: no. makes no difference [21:48] Ok. [21:49] Torch, what is dkms? [21:49] tdn: we need more info on what is actually broken [21:49] Torch, as you can see, I have nvidia driver installed also. How do I active that? [21:49] tdn: dynamic kernel module system or sth like that. installs kernel modules after kernel upgrades, i think originally invented by dell, no less. [21:49] Ok. [21:50] tdn: it should be active without intervention. what exactly is not working? [21:52] Torch, well, after I rebooted after installing the updates available today, the first thing I noticed was that the prompt at boot asking me to enter LUKS crypto passphrase was broken. The bootup resolution was very low. [21:53]
