[05:58] Hi, 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 list [06:00] llamawithamullet: what I've seen is people listing files as "Avengers, The" [06:00] for example [06:01] llamawithamullet: i'm trying to think of the easiest way to do this [06:01] Ah, that's a good idea [06:01] or "Flintstones, The" [06:02] It would be nice for the name to stay the same. I think windows might ignore "the"? Its a shame ubuntu doesnt give you the option [06:02] llamawithamullet: sure you can there are many ways to do it i'm just trying to think of the easiest [06:03] Ohk cheers [06:03] exactly, I haven't really used it as I needn't it [06:04] llamawithamullet: there is the sort command but not sure if you could ignore the in the beginning [06:06] Thats a shame. Guess I'll just change the file names. Thanks for the help [06:12] well he could have used ls -I for ignore [10:01] Can anyone help me with Changing 802.11bgn to 802.11bg in Ubuntu 12.04 as I am facing frequent disconnects of my Wifi connection [10:01] connect with browser to your wlan ap [10:01] and configure [10:02] Can you explain it ? I am a new linux user [10:02] it has nothing to do with Linux [10:03] What is wlan ap ? [10:03] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_access_point [10:05] anas, 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 ? [10:09] Actually I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and was constantly getting Wifi disconnects unlike in my Windows 7. I Googled and found this [10:09] Code: [10:09] gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf [10:09] and inserting this into the file : options rtl8192ce swenc=1 [10:12] It was also written change router settings to the one i mentioned [10:13] That meant when I type "iwconfig" in terminal, in front of wlan0, it should display "bg" instead of "bgn" [10:13] how to do that ? [10:18] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/iwconfig.8.html and "modulation" [10:21] In the modulation part some commands are mentioned, but not sure which one to make it 802.11gb [10:21] sorry 802.11 bg [10:23] my wife's laptop [10:24] titia@salamanteri:~% iwlist modulation .:13:20:16 on 12-08-20:. [10:24] wlan0 unknown modulation information. [10:24] D: [10:24] how about yours? [10:24] same [10:25] but when i type "iwconfig" then this: wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"ION@14th-Block" [10:25] I have to change that bgn to bg somehow [10:33] hard to say, never really had the need to do it === anas is now known as seek === seek is now known as anas [10:51] if 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 normal [10:53] your* [10:53] if it is b/g it will display bg sorry [10:55] The problem of wifi getting connected and disconnected has a link with the driver of your wifi controller [10:56] Try to install the right driver (even proprietary or may use ndiswrapper) === yofel_ is now known as yofel
