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