| Topaaz | Hi everyone, I am seeking some help in removing duplicate files from a single folder. | 01:53 |
|---|---|---|
| Topaaz | The format is relatively standard such as: | 01:53 |
| Topaaz | John Doe - Some Content.pdf | 01:54 |
| Topaaz | John Doe - Some Content_copy_1.pdf | 01:54 |
| Topaaz | for i in `find *copy*`; do mv $i /home/me/ebooks/Duplicates !(This just appears to hang) | 01:54 |
| Topaaz | fdupes -d -r /home/me/ebooks/Duplicates/ !(I wasn't sure of how to proceed with this?) | 01:54 |
| Topaaz | any ideas? | 01:55 |
| SunSword | Anyone want to help me figure out how to get the correct drivers for my intel video chipset? | 06:51 |

| Fadebar | Hello | 16:18 |
| earthling_ | anyone know where config files are located? I'm looking for the chromium config file. | 16:48 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, In home hidden .config | 17:25 |
| earthling_ | I found it, thx | 17:25 |
| wilee-nilee | NOt sure it will be what you want what is your end goal | 17:25 |
| earthling_ | my chromium doesn't work | 17:25 |
| earthling_ | I'm using chromium version 28.0.1500.71 on Ubuntu 12.04 I'm getting the alert message "Your profile could not be opened correctly.Some features may be unavailable. Please check that the profile exists and you have permission to read and write its contents." | 17:25 |
| earthling_ | creating a new user profile doesn't change it | 17:26 |
| earthling_ | nor does uninstalling, installing | 17:26 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_ Is that the latest updated version? | 17:26 |
| earthling_ | well, I just installed it from USC | 17:26 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, Has it ever worked, and if so have you modified it? | 17:27 |
| earthling_ | it worked for a year | 17:28 |
| wilee-nilee | and two questions there | 17:28 |
| earthling_ | I don't think I did any changes | 17:28 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, no flash problems? | 17:28 |
| earthling_ | just adding bookmarks | 17:28 |
| earthling_ | flash works fine | 17:29 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, If it were me I would save the bookmarks and purge and reinstall it, might be another methods but that is the fastest, do you know how to purge an app? | 17:30 |
| earthling_ | no | 17:30 |
| earthling_ | is that from USC? | 17:30 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, sudo apt-get purge "app" without the quotes a reinstall or just uninstall leves the package basically. | 17:31 |
| wilee-nilee | no in a terminal | 17:31 |
| earthling_ | I was using a PPA at one time I think | 17:33 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, So I'm on multiple channels if you use my nick I'm notified you are speaking to me. | 17:33 |
| earthling_ | so maybe thats part of it | 17:33 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, That will cause a problem if the PPA is not supporting your release, as well PPA's are not technically supported. | 17:33 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, the ppa will be in /etc/apt/sources.list.d most likely check if it is supporting your release by finding it on the web. | 17:35 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, interesting | 17:35 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, I look like this. https://www.google.com/search?q=chromium+PPA&btnG=Search&hl=en&biw=&bih=&gbv=1 | 17:35 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, I can also use synaptic to remove ppas? | 17:36 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, Yes that would be the easiest way. | 17:36 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, The stable PPA is covering all releases right now, you have to watch PPA's they sometimes move around. | 17:37 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, hmm, I don't see any PPAs in Synaptic, other than a printer driver | 17:39 |
| holstein | !ppapurge | 17:40 |
| ubot93 | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 17:40 |
| holstein | earthling_: ^ | 17:40 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, I'm in W8 at the moment use the drop downs at top to get to software sources, usc is edit-preferences-software sources, maybe no prefrences there. | 17:40 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, Check that info by holstein as well. | 17:41 |
| sunr | anyone who can help with vpn setup | 17:47 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, holstein, I installed ppapurge, but I don't think I have any ppas | 17:49 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, Look in that path a I mentioned earlier or run cat /etc/sources.list another repo area for them. | 17:51 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, no ppas there | 17:56 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, in either | 17:56 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, Cool, have you purged chromium? | 18:03 |
| wilee-nilee | and reinstalled | 18:03 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, IT may as simple as deleting the chromium config in .config | 18:04 |
| wilee-nilee | a new one will build as soon as you open it if it opens | 18:05 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, http://pastebin.com/B5AJdERN | 18:45 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, I do see a profile 1 in chromium config, maybe I should delete that | 18:48 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, I though you found no PPA's, do you have synaptic or usc open when running that command? | 18:49 |
| wilee-nilee | thought8 | 18:49 |
| wilee-nilee | doh thought* | 18:49 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, always post every bit of the commands | 18:50 |
| wilee-nilee | and data run in a terminal | 18:50 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, yeah, I'll close them, didn't know they interfere | 18:52 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, Ah, easy mistake. | 18:52 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: chromium-browser ppa | 18:55 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, looks like the ppas were removed already | 18:56 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, are you using the purge ppa command? | 18:58 |
| wilee-nilee | chromium-browser ppa does not look like the actual ppa name | 18:59 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, ok, I think deleting "profile 1" worked! | 19:04 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, You seem to be using a hunt and peck methodology, while not informed, that will bite you in the end, am I guessing here? | 19:06 |
| wilee-nilee | no biggie you have to start somewhere, I deleted home 3 times in the first 6 months. | 19:07 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, :-) still learning, millions of files hard to wrap head around | 19:07 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, I used windows most my life, so still used to that I guess | 19:08 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, one of these days I gotta build a cheap box to practice on, this is my primary computer, so I really can't afford to mess things up | 19:11 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, I understand, I would start with if you ask a question and don't understand the answer, be sure to clarify it, rather then jus picking at it, linux is pretty easy to screw up you have much more hands on control, however it is quite stable if run correctly. ;) | 19:15 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, do you understand the system easily? | 19:15 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, Open source was where I started about 6 years ago, so it seems normal to me, but I have in the mean time acquired MS OS I have used XP tp W8 as of now. | 19:16 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, I'm a visual learner, its all very abstract to me, and it seems endless to try to understand it all | 19:17 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, Depends on the partes of the system really, I'm just a obsessed armchair user in the end. | 19:17 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, No one understands it all really, at least a few maybe, but there are some basic ways to use it safely. | 19:18 |
| wilee-nilee | earthling_, ubuntu is fairly new user orientated in general, but still has all the possibilities of any linux install | 19:19 |
| earthling_ | wilee-nilee, cool | 20:04 |
