llamawithamulletHi, does anyone know how to sort files in a folder by name but ignoring "the"? For example I want "The Avengers" to be listed next to "Avatar" instead of being near the bottom of the list05:58
JoseeAntonioRllamawithamullet: what I've seen is people listing files as "Avengers, The"06:00
JoseeAntonioRfor example06:00
histollamawithamullet: i'm trying to think of the easiest way to do this06:01
llamawithamulletAh, that's a good idea06:01
JoseeAntonioRor "Flintstones, The"06:01
llamawithamulletIt would be nice for the name to stay the same. I think windows might ignore "the"? Its a shame ubuntu doesnt give you the option06:02
histollamawithamullet: sure you can there are many ways to do it i'm just trying to think of the easiest06:02
llamawithamulletOhk cheers06:03
JoseeAntonioRexactly, I haven't really used it as I needn't it06:03
histollamawithamullet: there is the sort command but not sure if you could ignore the in the beginning06:04
llamawithamulletThats a shame. Guess I'll just change the file names. Thanks for the help06:06
histowell he could have used ls -I   for ignore06:12
anasCan anyone help me with Changing 802.11bgn to 802.11bg in Ubuntu 12.04 as I am facing frequent disconnects of my Wifi connection10:01
bioterrorconnect with browser to your wlan ap10:01
bioterrorand configure10:01
anasCan you explain it ? I am a new linux user10:02
bioterrorit has nothing to do with Linux10:02
anasWhat is wlan ap ?10:03
bioterrorhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_access_point10:03
ButterflyOfFireanas, do you want to change your WiFi card and install 802.11bg rather than b/g/n on your machine, or do you want to change your Access Point WLAN config ?10:05
anasActually I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and was constantly getting Wifi disconnects unlike in my Windows 7. I Googled and found this10:09
anasCode:10:09
anasgksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf10:09
anasand inserting this into the file : options rtl8192ce swenc=110:09
anasIt was also written change router settings to the one i mentioned10:12
anasThat meant when I type "iwconfig" in terminal, in front of wlan0, it should display "bg" instead of "bgn"10:13
anashow to do that ?10:13
bioterrorhttp://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/iwconfig.8.html and "modulation"10:18
anasIn the modulation part some commands are mentioned, but not sure which one to make it 802.11gb10:21
anassorry 802.11 bg10:21
bioterrormy wife's laptop10:23
bioterrortitia@salamanteri:~% iwlist modulation                                                                                                                  .:13:20:16 on 12-08-20:.10:24
bioterrorwlan0     unknown modulation information.10:24
bioterrorD:10:24
bioterrorhow about yours?10:24
anassame10:24
anasbut when i type "iwconfig" then this: wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"ION@14th-Block"10:25
anasI have to change that bgn to bg somehow10:25
bioterrorhard to say, never really had the need to do it10:33
=== anas is now known as seek
=== seek is now known as anas
ButterflyOfFireif you Wifi card (reciever) is a b/g/n, it will display bgn, if it is a native b/g it will diplay bgn. This is normal10:51
ButterflyOfFireyour*10:53
ButterflyOfFireif it is b/g it will display bg sorry10:53
ButterflyOfFireThe problem of wifi getting connected and disconnected has a link with the driver of your wifi controller10:55
ButterflyOfFireTry to install the right driver (even proprietary or may use ndiswrapper)10:56
