[04:01] <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..
[04:03] <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
[04:04] <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
[04:05] <holstein> w3br3ap3r: du is working pretty well for me.. what is it that you are tring to get that du is not providing?
[04:06] <w3br3ap3r> well a list of directories in current working directory with the size of each...
[04:07] <w3br3ap3r> du gives me some data.. but i cant get it in this particular format
[04:07] <holstein> and that format is?
[04:08] <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 .. :(
[04:09] <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
[04:10] <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)
[04:11] <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
[04:12] <holstein> w3br3ap3r: :)

[19:18] <kruptos> I've upgraded from Ubuntu 12.10 automatically from 12.04 and I've lost my sound
[19:19] <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.
[19:20] <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
[19:22] <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
[19:23] <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
[19:24] <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?
[19:27] <holstein> kruptos: you dont have to, but you can.. and it might be helpful
[19:28] <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
