| w3br3ap3r | hey what is the command for getting the sizes of directories like a list (as in case of files ls)... ?? I tried du but it doesn't seem to give a list of directories in current directory with their sizes.. | 04:01 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | w3br3ap3r: you want that in a command line? you dont want to right click in a filemanager? | 04:03 |
| w3br3ap3r | yes ofcourse in command line | 04:03 |
| w3br3ap3r | for using in ssh | 04:03 |
| holstein | w3br3ap3r: well, this is not the server channel, so its not that obvious.. you would need to specify | 04:04 |
| w3br3ap3r | oh sorry about that | 04:04 |
| holstein | w3br3ap3r: du is working pretty well for me.. what is it that you are tring to get that du is not providing? | 04:05 |
| w3br3ap3r | well a list of directories in current working directory with the size of each... | 04:06 |
| w3br3ap3r | du gives me some data.. but i cant get it in this particular format | 04:07 |
| holstein | and that format is? | 04:07 |
| holstein | du is cranking that out for me.. you think its permissions related? | 04:08 |
| w3br3ap3r | no no... du is working and giving the data... i think its just the way i use it .. :( | 04:08 |
| w3br3ap3r | du -sh | 04:09 |
| w3br3ap3r | and it gives me the full size | 04:09 |
| w3br3ap3r | not the individual components of current directory | 04:09 |
| holstein | w3br3ap3r: im literally typing du and hitting enter and its listing directories and sizes | 04:09 |
| holstein | i dont think im clear on what it is you want to see.. you want the sub directories? | 04:09 |
| w3br3ap3r | yes yes i do | 04:09 |
| w3br3ap3r | and no files | 04:09 |
| w3br3ap3r | and not to go down more than one level | 04:10 |
| holstein | well, you can just ignore the files | 04:10 |
| holstein | thats not going to work for you? | 04:10 |
| w3br3ap3r | that gives all the sub-sub directories too.. ( i hope you got me) | 04:10 |
| w3br3ap3r | oh i just looked it up.... | 04:11 |
| w3br3ap3r | du -sh * | 04:11 |
| holstein | cool.. enjoy! | 04:11 |
| w3br3ap3r | thats what i was looking for | 04:11 |
| w3br3ap3r | :) | 04:11 |
| w3br3ap3r | holstein, thanks for your brainwave | 04:11 |
| holstein | w3br3ap3r: :) | 04:12 |

| kruptos | I've upgraded from Ubuntu 12.10 automatically from 12.04 and I've lost my sound | 19:18 |
| holstein | kruptos: i would check that nothing is muted.. i would mute and unmute.. i would look in pavucontrol ..i would look in alsamixer in the terminal | 19:19 |
| holstein | !sound | 19:19 |
| ubot2 | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 19:19 |
| kruptos | Thank you for the response. I'm going to try those suggestions... one sec | 19:20 |
| holstein | i would open the terminal and run lspci.. i would look for the audio device. i would then run "aplay -l" ...if you see it there, alsa is using it | 19:20 |
| kruptos | I'm not muted. When I run aplay -l I see 2 divices under "PLAYBACK hardwre devices" | 19:22 |
| holstein | kruptos: im not saying "you muted it and dont know" | 19:22 |
| holstein | im saying, sometimes, you need to mute and unmute | 19:22 |
| holstein | there is a known bug in XFCE where when you mute with the hardware keyboard sitch, you cant unmute it there | 19:23 |
| holstein | kruptos: you can download the ubuntu 12.10 live CD and try it, so you'll konw that the sound works and its just something you need to "set" properly | 19:23 |
| kruptos | Oh ok. That sounds like it could be the problem. At the top you said to look in Pavucontrol, do I have to install that? | 19:24 |
| holstein | kruptos: you dont have to, but you can.. and it might be helpful | 19:27 |
| kruptos | alsamixer looks to be set up right | 19:28 |
| kruptos | Nothing is muted | 19:28 |
| holstein | kruptos: i would literlaly mute and unmute *everything* | 19:28 |
| holstein | i would not trust any labels | 19:28 |
