[13:34] <sebsebseb> hi
[13:43] <Sidewinder1> Mornin'.
[14:02] <sebsebseb> Sidewinder1: afternoon here
[14:09] <E3D3> How can I print a list of folders, each on its own line without extra information ?
[14:30] <E3D3> How can I print a list of folders, each on its own line without extra information ?
[14:31] <E3D3> How can I print a list of folders, each on its own line WHITOUT EXTRA DETAILS ?
[14:31] <holstein> E3D3: lets check the ls man page
[14:31] <holstein> http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?ls
[14:32] <holstein> E3D3: you've been here long enough to know that this is not necessarily somewhere you can just pop in and get an emmidiate answer
[14:32] <holstein> espcially about command-line stuff
[14:32] <holstein> or maybe i have your nick mixed up
[14:33] <holstein> E3D3: ls -h not going to do it?
[14:33] <holstein> what are you trying to do in the bigger picture?
[14:34] <geirha> find . -type d  perhaps?
[14:39] <E3D3> So no one knows ?
[14:40] <holstein> E3D3: those suggestions not going to work? and you dont want to share what you are trying to do?
[14:40] <E3D3> I tried al suggestions but its just guessing because no one seems to REALLY know !?
[14:41] <holstein> E3D3: sure, and im not sure what you *really* want
[14:41] <holstein> you want a list of files? that says ls to me
[14:41] <holstein> and i dont really understand what information ls is giving that is unwanted
[14:41] <holstein> 'extra details'
[14:42] <holstein> i was imagining you needing this in a piece of code or something that if you could give more detail, maybe someone would know of a plugin or script
[14:43] <holstein> anyways, when i 'cd' to the directory, and run 'ls', i get a list of files im comfortable with
[14:44] <holstein> ls -a -h if i want .directories too
[14:45] <holstein> E3D3: im must run... good luck... feel free and elaborate, post, and patiently wait for a response :)
[14:45] <E3D3> Sorry man, I'm sure that its clear enough. I just want every foldername on a new line and I don't want extra information. I want to copy this list after it.
[14:45] <E3D3> This seems to work:   ls -lp | grep \/$ | tr -s ' '|cut -f9 -d ' '
[14:46] <E3D3> Thanks to phlak_user & llutz from #ubuntu  :)
[14:47] <E3D3> But is it hard or is it hard for a beginner ?
[14:49] <E3D3> That Linux makes a problem with such a simple job scares & wonders me. Nasty ****
[14:50] <LemonAid> Hmm.. i wonder.
[14:52] <geirha> E3D3: The problem is that the question is very vague.
[14:52] <E3D3> Can you tell me more ?
[14:52] <geirha> You never mentioned what folders you wanted to list
[14:52] <LemonAid> Saw your question now, and here`s the easiest possible sollution without learning anything "scary"
[14:52] <E3D3> Doesn't matter what folders !
[14:53] <E3D3> geirha: Can you reformulate my question so I learn from it ?
[14:53] <geirha> I still don't know what you actually wanted to achieve.
[14:53] <LemonAid> Do this: "sudo apt-get install tree" -> enter password. This will install the tree utility. After type "tree -d -L 1"
[14:54] <LemonAid> the -d stands for directory, the -L 1 stands for level 1 = now subdirectory listing.
[14:55] <E3D3> I won't install extra software for a listing of folders but still thanks. I already have the sollution.
[14:55] <LemonAid> Note that you must be in the directory that contains all the other directories you want listed.
[14:55] <LemonAid> I was only giving you an alternative that would not scare you.
[14:55] <E3D3> ls -lp | grep \/$ | tr -s ' '|cut -f9 -d ' '
[14:56] <geirha> ls -d */
[14:56] <geirha> possibly with a -1 too
[14:56] <geirha> But if you redirect ls's output anywhere, it'll write one file on each line.
[14:56] <E3D3> Okay, I understand. Thanks for that. It indeed looks more understandable than the long ls-formula.
[14:57] <E3D3> Sorry that was for LemonAid:   ^^^
[14:57] <geirha> the pipeline is broken. It will fail for directories containing whitesapce in their name.
[14:58] <E3D3> No  :'(  don't say that
[14:59] <geirha> Parsing ls output is always wrong.
[14:59] <LemonAid> well here you go then, with explainations.
[15:00] <LemonAid> ls -d -1 */ | cut -d/ -f1
[15:00] <geirha> You don't even need ls.  printf '%s\n' */
[15:01] <LemonAid> ls = list , -d directory , -1 each one on one line, cut=cut , -d/ = delimiter character / , -f1 first field
[15:02] <E3D3> ls -d -1 */ | cut -d/ -f1   seems to work (also with whitespace) or are you going to tell me later that it also skips something ?
[15:02] <LemonAid> Well, you still need to cut out the / character.
[15:03] <E3D3> I don't see the /
[15:03] <LemonAid> Also geirha`s solution is correct as well (minus the / that sticks out at the end)
[15:03] <E3D3> Its a beautiful list. I will now try geirha's
[15:03] <LemonAid> The "Well, you still need to cut out the / character." was for geirha.
[15:05] <geirha> "How can I get a list of only the directories in the current directory?"
[15:05] <E3D3> I see, beautiful as yours  :)
[15:06] <geirha> ls -d -1 */ | cut -d/ -f1   will work as long as you don't have any directory names with newlines in them. Though you probably don't have any.
[15:07] <geirha> Or, well, it'll work, but you won't know where a new directory name begins
[15:09] <geirha> But it's good enough for an interactive shell. If you want to iterate directories in a script, the solution will be completely different.
[15:11] <E3D3> Thx all but if I knew I had to spend an hour like this I would have lend a Mac or Windows for the job.
[15:11] <E3D3> I never knew you could make dir-names with newlines in it ? Guess I don't have them so np  :)
[15:12] <geirha> In a filename (which includes directory names), you can use every character except / (the path separator) and the NUL byte.
[15:13] <E3D3> So how to implement a newline in it. Pressing Enter will always stop the name-giving, not ?
[15:13] <geirha> touch 'file with
[15:13] <geirha> newline'
[15:14] <E3D3> Okay, I try to avoid the commandline and this experience stimulates it more.
[15:17] <E3D3> Luckily there's Ubuntu (my Second OS) that saves this NOOB when simple things go wrong.
[15:17] <E3D3> Thanks for the help & time. Good luck all
[17:13] <MakoMick> hi
[17:13] <MakoMick> Can anyone help me with a printer problem?
[17:14] <MakoMick> or should I install Windows?
[17:19] <urlin2u> MakoMick, what is the printer and have you checked the onboard drivers, and whether ubuntu will run this printer
[17:20] <MakoMick> It has always worked before
[17:20] <MakoMick> Used version 9 before
[17:20] <MakoMick> Its an Epson stylus photo r300
[17:21] <MakoMick> lsusb shows it up
[17:21] <MakoMick> but cannot add in Cups
[17:21] <MakoMick> Or Printers app
[17:22] <urlin2u> MakoMick, on occasion my hp wont work a replug, and a on off with the printer usualy works, as I have the drivers installed, can you de like really desrcptive in the driver area and my questions.
[17:22] <MakoMick> I have tried a few reboots and switches on and off
[17:23] <MakoMick> Onboard drivers?
[17:23] <MakoMick> I am sure Ubuntu will run because it has before.
[17:23] <MakoMick> I think it originally picked up but now its gone
[17:24] <urlin2u> MakoMick, when you use a printer generally you have to open printers and pick the driver for the printer.
[17:25] <urlin2u> MakoMick, check printers to see if there is a driver loaded.
[17:27] <MakoMick> "there are no printers configured yet"
[17:27] <MakoMick> I have never had to pick a driver before, it has just worked
[17:27] <urlin2u> MakoMick, try to set it up it will allow you to search to find a driver for that printer probably.
[17:28] <MakoMick> I click Add
[17:28] <MakoMick> then it asks me to select Parallel port, or serial or URI
[17:28] <MakoMick> what for USB?
[17:28] <urlin2u> MakoMick, reapeating that it has worked with out a driver is of no help to be honest, I have never seen that in the 5 years I have used linux.
[17:30] <MakoMick> I never said that it worked without a driver. I said that I have never had to pick one before, this printer has always "plugged and played"
[17:33] <urlin2u> MakoMick, I think what your missing is that it is irrelevant at least for my help. Try network printer then a search, I'm on oneiric so the printer gui may be different than yours
[17:34] <MakoMick> I am also on Oneric. Its not a network printer> Its Local - USB
[17:35] <urlin2u> that is what found my printer though put in the host after it finds it, with linux and computers in general sometimes literal meanings are deceiving
[17:35] <urlin2u> mine is a usb as well
[17:36] <urlin2u> no mention of a usb in my setup as well
[17:36] <MakoMick> so what do I put in for Host: ?
[17:36] <urlin2u> your user name I believe that worked for me
[17:39] <MakoMick> NONE FOUND
[17:40] <urlin2u> MakoMick, hm not sure than you might try the #ubuntu channel it is much busier.
[17:40] <MakoMick> so you really havent got a clue
[17:40] <MakoMick> Muggle
[17:42] <urlin2u> MakoMick, well I can't really say other then what works for me, I have had only one printer in 5 years.
[18:51] <Voj> hello
[18:51] <Voj> was wondering if someone could help me out with some ubuntu stuff
[18:51] <bioterror> !ask | Voj
[18:51] <ubot2> Voj: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience
[18:52] <Voj> well its about the installing thats why i came to the beginner area
[18:52] <Voj> basically i installed ubuntu yesterday with a clean wipe, something happened so i did a 2nd reformat with ubuntu again today but it seems that its not detecting anythign like networks or updates
[18:53] <Voj> im using the newest version
[18:53] <bioterror> wireless networks or what?
[18:53] <Voj> ya
[18:53] <Voj> its on my netbook
[18:54] <Voj> yesterday it detected everythign
[18:54] <Voj> but someone pugged out so i did a 2nd reformat
[18:54] <Voj> bugged*
[18:56] <Voj> any thoughts?
[19:02] <bioterror> hmm
[19:02] <bioterror> it used to work
[19:02] <bioterror> and now it does not?
[19:02] <Voj> pretty much
[19:02] <Voj> when i first installed it said i couldnt support the unity thing
[19:03] <Voj> but it loaded up anyways
[19:03] <Voj> installed al lteh drivers and network stuff got set up
[19:03] <Voj> then when i installed a 2nd time i did another wipe redid it the same way and i hav all these problems with detecting them
[19:04] <Voj> it also doesnt detect anythign from the update ubuntu manager
[19:14] <bioterror> Voj, sorry I'm a little busy as I'm doing my schoolwork
[19:14] <bioterror> and I'm really trying to concentrate on this one :(
[19:15] <bioterror> Voj, can you plug your netbook into wired lan?
[19:15] <bioterror> and use that for upgraing your system?
[19:16] <Voj> i can give it a try
