[04:01] 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.. [04:03] w3br3ap3r: you want that in a command line? you dont want to right click in a filemanager? [04:03] yes ofcourse in command line [04:03] for using in ssh [04:04] w3br3ap3r: well, this is not the server channel, so its not that obvious.. you would need to specify [04:04] oh sorry about that [04:05] w3br3ap3r: du is working pretty well for me.. what is it that you are tring to get that du is not providing? [04:06] well a list of directories in current working directory with the size of each... [04:07] du gives me some data.. but i cant get it in this particular format [04:07] and that format is? [04:08] du is cranking that out for me.. you think its permissions related? [04:08] no no... du is working and giving the data... i think its just the way i use it .. :( [04:09] du -sh [04:09] and it gives me the full size [04:09] not the individual components of current directory [04:09] w3br3ap3r: im literally typing du and hitting enter and its listing directories and sizes [04:09] i dont think im clear on what it is you want to see.. you want the sub directories? [04:09] yes yes i do [04:09] and no files [04:10] and not to go down more than one level [04:10] well, you can just ignore the files [04:10] thats not going to work for you? [04:10] that gives all the sub-sub directories too.. ( i hope you got me) [04:11] oh i just looked it up.... [04:11] du -sh * [04:11] cool.. enjoy! [04:11] thats what i was looking for [04:11] :) [04:11] holstein, thanks for your brainwave [04:12] w3br3ap3r: :) [04:56] saji89, hey [04:56] w3br3ap3r, Hi. [04:57] saji89, how u doing today?> [04:58] w3br3ap3r, Doing good. Just woke up. ;) [04:58] :) === Guest8804 is now known as saji89_ === saji89_ is now known as saji89 === saji89 is now known as Guest41453 === Guest41453 is now known as saji89 [19:18] I've upgraded from Ubuntu 12.10 automatically from 12.04 and I've lost my sound [19:19] 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] !sound [19:19] 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. [19:20] Thank you for the response. I'm going to try those suggestions... one sec [19:20] 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 [19:22] I'm not muted. When I run aplay -l I see 2 divices under "PLAYBACK hardwre devices" [19:22] kruptos: im not saying "you muted it and dont know" [19:22] im saying, sometimes, you need to mute and unmute [19:23] there is a known bug in XFCE where when you mute with the hardware keyboard sitch, you cant unmute it there [19:23] 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 [19:24] 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? [19:27] kruptos: you dont have to, but you can.. and it might be helpful [19:28] alsamixer looks to be set up right [19:28] Nothing is muted [19:28] kruptos: i would literlaly mute and unmute *everything* [19:28] i would not trust any labels === mh0` is now known as mh0 [21:07] hello all, I'm in need of a bit of help if anyone can please? [21:09] seems I'm getting a 'nonetype' object has no attribute 'get_info" error and not sure since I'm new with linux [21:09] trying to insteall it and it won't install from the disk at all but trying the windows installer and that's what happens
