[00:47] <DarthFrog> OK, I need some help from a bigger brain than mine. :-)   The command "find ?.*" does what I want: finds those files that start with a single character (digit)followed by a . then the rest of the file name.
[00:48] <OerHeks> Darkwing, nice to know
[00:48] <DarthFrog> But if I use it to develop a shell script, viz. "for i in `find ?.*`; do echo $i; done" it prints out the individual words of each file name on a separate line instead of the entire file name on one line as I need.
[00:48] <OerHeks> err DarthFrog
[00:49] <DarthFrog> OerHeks: I figured you meant me but fumbled the tab completion. :-)
[00:49] <DarthFrog> My goal is to develop a shell script that will rename files from 1.*, 2.* to 01.*, 02.*, and so on.
[00:50] <DarthFrog> but not to touch files already properly named 10.*, 11.*, etc.
[00:50] <DarthFrog> Any suggestions?
[01:02] <OerHeks> DarthFrog, simular like this cd numer issue ?? > https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=124712
[01:02] <OerHeks> c/numer/number
[01:04] <DarthFrog> OerHeks:  have I ever let you know that you are the wind beneath my wings?  :-)  Thank you, that's exactly what I want to do.
[01:08] <OerHeks> I want to find a better playlist editor for cd's with a "Ft artist bla bla" or compilation cd's that messes up the database
[01:09] <OerHeks> Clementine is nice, btw

[01:20] <akoma1s> ubottu: help
[01:20] <akoma1s> sigh
[01:20] <akoma1s> how do I interrogate this bot?
[01:21] <akoma1s> it won't answer queries
[01:21] <mrafcho001> I upgraded to kernel 3.10 and I'm having a strange problem where my laptop's display is Black (not off), but external displays work just fine. As far as I can tell KDE thinks that the laptop display is working fine. Any ideas why only my laptop display is black?
[01:24] <akoma1s> mrafcho001: try this:   for i in `xrandr | awk '($1 ~ "-") {print $1}'`; do xrandr --output "$i" --auto; done
[01:25] <akoma1s> or is it the brightness that is too low?
[01:28] <mrafcho001> akoma1s: nothig is coming up
[01:29] <mrafcho001> akoma1s: The dispaly is definitely on, i can see the backlight dimming and brightening up when I use my Fn key shortcut, but its just displaying black color.
[01:29] <akoma1s> mrafcho001:
[01:29] <akoma1s> does the mouse cursor appear in that screen?
[01:30] <mrafcho001> akoma1s: It does not display, but there "space" since i can drag it around in what would be that screen's real estate
[01:31] <akoma1s> right
[01:31] <akoma1s> could you do a  { xrandr; cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log; } | pastebinit
[01:31] <akoma1s> and paste the address here?
[01:31] <mrafcho001> sure
[01:35] <mrafcho001> akoma1s: http://pastebin.com/QFk1mBNU
[01:35] <akoma1s> thanks
[01:36] <akoma1s> heh, my initial command wouldn't have worked for you anyway :)
[01:37] <mrafcho001> akoma1s: if it helps, with the 3.9 series kernels, everything works well, I'm not sure why only 3.10 is being uncooperative
[01:40] <akoma1s> ok, a few more questions then:
[01:40] <akoma1s> 1. which ubuntu version you're using?
[01:40] <mrafcho001> Kubuntu 13.04 with mainline kernel 3.10
[01:41] <akoma1s> and 2. have you enabled the xorg-edgers PPA?
[01:41] <mrafcho001> I don't believe I have
[01:42] <akoma1s> you could try that as a next step
[01:42] <akoma1s> if it doesn't solve the problem,
[01:42] <akoma1s> try Saucy next
[01:42] <akoma1s> btw, is there some specific reason you're trying the 3.10 kernel?
[01:43] <mrafcho001> not a very solid reason, but with every iteration my laptop has been working better and better, so I've kept upgrading
[01:43] <mrafcho001> things like sleep, Fn keys, brightness, started out as not working
[01:43] <mrafcho001> to working quite well
[01:43] <mrafcho001> figured 3.10 would have more improvements
[01:44] <akoma1s> same as for all of us then :)
[01:45] <akoma1s> well, Intel's drivers are a bit fragile, so the best I could suggest is try, and if it doesn't work, just revert to the previous version
[01:45] <mrafcho001> i've tried that already actually
[01:45] <akoma1s> is there anything on your laptop that doesn't work on 3.8/3.9?
[01:46] <mrafcho001> its fragile, 1/5 boots none of the Fn keys will work, i only reboot my laptop when i upgrade kernel, so its never been much of an issue
[01:46] <mrafcho001> but i'd like for that to go away
[01:47] <akoma1s> I see :/
[01:48] <akoma1s> If you're feeling brave, you could try following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting , reporting bugs along the way.
[01:48] <mrafcho001> so whats xorg-edgers ppa? I've heard it mentioned before
[01:48] <akoma1s> I usually just remap the non-functioning keys to their Win+Alt equivalents, eg. Win+Alt+F8 instead of Fn+F8
[01:49] <akoma1s> it has the latest graphics stack, for testing purposes
[01:49] <akoma1s> if you're using the latest kernel, you most definitely want to use it
[01:49] <mrafcho001> it doesnt seem to be helping
[01:49] <mrafcho001> this is just the weirdest issue
[01:49] <akoma1s> https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=raring
[01:51] <mrafcho001> i guess ill stick with the 3.9 series for now, maybe things will be better in 3.10.1 hah
[01:51] <mrafcho001> akoma1s: thanks for your help
[01:51] <akoma1s> so, if I understand correctly, the Fn keys work for you in 3.10?
[01:52] <mrafcho001> seem to work fine, though most of the time they work in 3.9, its on the occasion boot up that they dont work. Its probably a kernel module failing to load for some odd reason. Never had the insentive to look into it
[01:52] <akoma1s> I see,
[01:53] <akoma1s> that's definitely a kernel problem problem then, probably some race issue between drivers
[01:53] <akoma1s> sorry I couldn't be of much help, I'm usually more capable with the laptop in front of me :/
[01:54] <mrafcho001> yeah, i know how it is
[01:54] <mrafcho001> thanks for trying though
[01:54] <mrafcho001> its appreciated
[01:54] <akoma1s> np
[01:55] <akoma1s> have you filed a bug report for your laptop?
[04:00] <gork> hi there, anybody want to chat? i'm looking for somebody in order to practice my english...
[08:01] <Novinek> hello
[08:01] <Novinek> can somebody help me? :-)
[08:01] <Novinek> (adding new card)
[08:34] <stefano> hello
[10:16] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[16:49] <Yud_Zroc> any guides to customizing KDE?
[17:32] <lordievader> Good evening.
[19:42] <turgay> chromium synchronization does not work
[19:42] <turgay> why ?
[21:26] <crysler> ciao a tutti
[21:27] <puff> There doesn't seem to be a hibernate/suspend-to-disk option, is this hidden somewhere?
[23:01] <maximus2> UUU SO LONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[23:03] <maximus2> AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[23:03] <maximus2> CANT TAKE IT
[23:05] <maximus2> ....-_-
[23:13] <maximus200000000> DDDD
[23:14] <maximus239239893> DAMIT

[23:22] <SYCHO_IDIOT_OF_D> DDDDDDDDDDDDDD
[23:36] <valorie> turgay: chromium synchro -- do you mean access to tabs from other devices?
[23:36] <valorie> if so, works great for me
[23:50] <turgay> valorie: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/185277?hl=en
[23:50] <turgay> this setting does it work ?
[23:54] <valorie> yes, works for me perfectly
[23:55] <valorie> the key once you turn on syncing on each device, is to open a blank tab
[23:55] <valorie> that's where you'll find the little "link" at the right-hand bottom which says Other devices
[23:55] <valorie> right next to Web Store
[23:56] <valorie> off to dinner now.....
