Kiloshi Squirm 07:00
magespawngood morning 07:09
Kiloshi magespawn 07:09
magespawnhey07:09
magespawnhow do i copy all of a certain type of file from all folders on a drive to another folder on that drive?07:11
magespawnfor eg. all *.jpg files07:11
Kiloshave you tried just that07:12
superflydoesn't cp -r *.jpg dest/dir/ work?07:12
magespawnwill that take all the files regardless of the dir they are in?07:14
Kiloswhew07:14
Squirm-r should be recursive07:14
Squirmso it'll move down the directory structure07:14
magespawnokay will give it a go 07:14
henkjwon't -r only recursively copy dirs matching the glob?07:15
henkjso it won't find anything in a directory in this case07:15
Squirmit'll be quick to test it though07:16
henkjI was thinking something like find /path/to/disk1 -regex "*.jpg" | xargs cp07:16
henkjbtu I'm not sure about the xargs syntax07:16
magespawnso then i could put all the files in the root of the external drive to have the first command work07:16
henkjoh wait, you can do it all with just find07:17
Squirmok, the -r never work for me07:17
henkjfind /path/to/disk1 -name "*.jpg" -exec cp '{}' /path/to/dest/07:18
henkjmay need a \; at the end there07:18
henkjhttp://content.hccfl.edu/pollock/unix/findcmd.htm actually says what I was suggesting with xargs won't work07:19
SquirmI have found a local, cheap supplier of the 8Gb Nexus 4. Is it worth actually buying the 8Gb version? I'm scared I'd run out of space seeing as it can't take a micro sd card :/07:20
magespawnfunny i was just reading that too07:20
henkjSquirm: depends how you use the phone, basically I only use storage for apps, and some music07:20
henkjI'm using ~3 gigs on my s307:21
magespawnso my specific example would be find /media/The Black Hole -name "*.jpg" -exec cp "{}" /media/The Black Hole/Recovered07:22
henkjthat may infinite loop07:22
henkjalso you need to escap the spaces in The Black Hole07:22
magespawni never got close to using the 16 gig on my n90007:22
Squirmcause the nexus 4 beats the S3, only issue is storage. was going to buy the 16Gb but it's too expensive to import it and I found this 8Gb locally07:23
magespawnokay not sure what that means07:23
magespawnlike so 07:23
Squirm /media/The\ Black\ Hole07:23
henkjwhat Squirm said :)07:23
magespawnah right ty07:24
henkjSquirm: things that eat storage on a phone, pics and music, think if you will need that much storage07:24
henkjapps will comfortably fit in a few gb07:24
SquirmI'd like some music. Pics are easy to copy to pc07:25
magespawnSo i just insert the back slash after the letter but leave the space too?07:25
Squirmmagespawn: yep07:25
henkjmagespawn: you need a backslash before every space07:25
henkjwell every space that doesn't separate different arguments07:25
Squirmbefore every space in a sungle directory07:25
Squirmwhat he said07:26
Squirms/sungle/single07:26
magespawnright thanks guys07:26
inetpromagespawn: rsync07:26
inetprorsync -a --include '*/' --include '*.mp3' --exclude '*' source/ target/07:26
magespawni have 749 directories that i need to move the pictures out of with an average of 500 files per directory all mixed types07:27
henkjrsync is probably better, I'm not as familiar with it though07:27
Squirmthen you could probably do something like07:28
Squirm--include '*.mp3' '*.jpg' '*.png'07:28
Squirmbut I don't know rsync07:28
Squirmor you'd need a seperate --include for each file type07:28
inetpromagespawn: see http://maururu.net/2007/rsync-only-files-matching-pattern/07:29
magespawnty07:29
inetproand or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76383307:29
inetproand man rsync07:29
inetprospaces in names can cause lots of headaches07:30
magespawni will remember that nest time i rename the external drive07:38
magespawnwould it be better if the source and target are two different drives?07:41
Kiloshi zeref what happened to debian?07:46

magespawnyes to the alst question08:09
magespawnlast also08:09
SquirmI see I should be able to put the Nexus into usb host mode too08:12
magespawnand i do need a trailing slash after the source08:13
Squirmmagespawn: I don't think it would make a difference. but just put it there :P08:25
magespawnthe trailing slash after the source is supposed to stop the creation of new directories08:25
Kiloshi drussell hoe gaan dit08:53

Cantidewhat about you?16:45
kbmonkeyit's the 8th. for some reason I thought it's the monthly meet :p16:45
Cantide:D16:45
Cantidewe can have an informal meet, just the two of us :p16:46

=== Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za
Cantideheh17:01
Cantidei should check xbmc out sometime..17:01
Cantideit must be popular for a reason >_>17:01
Cantideah, and about 14.04 - I am eager to see Ubuntu Touch and the Ubuntu desktop converge, and Unity Next and Mir look promising :)17:01
kbmonkeyUnity must be popular17:04
Cantidewhy?17:04
Cantideit was rather controversial about a year ago17:04
Cantide but i think now that people can see the direction in which Canonical is going, Unity makes a lot more sense17:04

Cantideand their voices slightly easier on the ears18:49
Kilosoh kbmonkey have a look at connman, maybe it will work with some tweaking by you and then you might have an auto connect nm18:49
Kilosstill under developement i think18:49
superflyCantide: way too slow for me18:49
Cantide:p18:50
