TrackingHello02:18
TrackingDoes anyone here know how to use kradio402:22
DarthFrogCan anyone think how I might walk a directory tree and replace all instances of : in a file name with -?03:08
tsimpsonDarthFrog: probably by using find03:13
tsimpsonthere's also "rename", though I've never used it03:16
Unit193(rename is very handy.)03:16
DarthFrogI shall check that out, thanks.03:20
DarthFrog"find" will find the files but I don't know how to do the character substitution.03:21
DarthFrogI find "find" to be very powerful but very complex. :-)03:21
tsimpsonyou could mix them, find /path -type f -print | rename 's/:/-/g'03:27
DarthFrogtsimpson:  Thanks, I'll give that a shot (on a backup copy!).03:28
Unit193-n = noact03:28
tsimpsonthere's also krename, apparently03:28
DarthFrogUnit193: is that a dry-run command to rename?03:28
tsimpsonyep, -n/--no-act03:29
Unit193Right.03:29
DarthFrogUseful, that.03:29
DarthFrogtsimpson: It looks like that construction works.  Many thanks.03:33
tsimpsonglad it worked :)03:35
DarthFrogso am I. :-)03:37
ronnocRiddell: Thx03:38
DarthFrogI have terabytes of video and music files that I need to change : and ! to other characters.  My new router (Asus Dark Knight) has a DLNA server (minidlna) and it seems to barf on files with those characters in the file name.03:38
DarthFrogDLNA rocks, BTW.  :-)03:39

greatwayi use kubuntu 12.04.412:47
greatwayand install qt12:47
greatwayqt 4.8.112:47
greatwayhow i can upgrade to 4.8.512:48
greatway?12:48
greatwayany idea?12:48
greatwayor upgrade to 4.8.212:50
lordievader!info libqtcore4 precise12:53
ubottulibqtcore4 (source: qt4-x11): Qt 4 core module. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.8.1-0ubuntu4.6 (precise), package size 2013 kB, installed size 8830 kB12:54
lordievadergreatway: It might be that the kubuntu-backports carries a newer version of Qt.12:54
greatwaylordievader: i use sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports12:56
greatwaylordievader: that's true?12:57
lordievadergreatway: Yes that seems correct, but I do not see a libqtcore4 in kubuntu-backports. Hmm might be some other package...12:58

greatwaylordievader: Ok,Thanks a lot13:00
lordievadergreatway: It might simply be that precise doesn't have/support 4.8.5. Might be an idea to install/upgrade a newer version of (K)Ubuntu.13:01
greatwaylordievader: Yes, i want to upgrade qt upper than 4.8.1 only13:01

machstemhey guys, using kubuntu 13.10 and am connecting to a Windows 7 x64 using KRDC.  When I first initiate the session, I can copy/paste without any issue.  the second I try to copy/paste something else (from kubuntu into my win7x64) it never captures the new copy and always attempts to paste the first thing I copied.  If I kill the RDP session, I can redo it and it works again.  Any advice/ideas?  Thanks!15:18
lordievadermachstem: I had some issues with krdc lately too, I switched to the Ubuntu rdp client.15:19
machstemlordievader, what is it called?15:19
machstemrdesktop ?15:19
machstemI read some forum thread about killing the rdpclip.exe process on the Windows machine, or starting a new one which is supposed to get it working again; without success.15:21
lordievadermachstem: I'm trying to find how it was called.15:21
machstemlordievader, I had tried 2x but it lacked in options and hasn't been updated in years15:22
hateballfwiw, I just disconnect the session and it usually works15:23
hateballrather than actually killing it entirely15:23
hateballStill, it is annoying at times.15:23
lordievadermachstem: Ah it was vinagre: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Vinagre (ah I know remeber that it was for vnc connections...)15:23
lordievaderNot really sure if it supports rdp too.15:23
machstemhateball, yeah, that's what i do, but I work almost exclusively remotely (lots of my admin tools are winx64 only) and dropping my connection every couple seconds is not feasible :)15:24
lordievadermachstem: Hmm sorry, vinagre doesn't seem to support rdp connections.15:24
machstemi prefer to run all my ssh backend stuff on my linux box and then just copy/paste results into my winx64 box afterward to avoid using putty15:24
hateballsometimes I get weird issues like a blank line jumping into klipper/clipboard, but if I actively pick something in klippers history it will work properly again15:24
machstemlordievader, thanks for looking :)15:25
machstemhateball, what do you mean "in klippers history" ?15:25
hateballmachstem: I am assuming you use klipper, and by default it has a history of... 10 items?15:25
hateballsometimes a blank entry makes it to the top, and no matter if you use ctrl+c/v it wont replace it15:26
machstemumm, i am using KRDC (KDE Remote Desktop client)15:26
hateballso I click the tray icon and choose an item15:26
hateballmachstem: Yes... but klipper manages your clipboard15:26
hateball... assuming you run it15:26
machstemhateball, ah, i see...that's the pair of scissors icon ?15:27
hateballmachstem: yep15:27
* hateball cant imagine someone working without klipper ;p15:27
machstemso, this might be conflicting with krdc ?15:27
machstemor how do i manage that ?15:27
machstemi see my history when i click it15:28
machstemso i "select" what i want and then try ?15:28
hateballwell you can easily see if you have a blank entry at the top of the list15:28
hateballyes, clicking an item should put it back into your clipboard15:28
hateballand it should work across krdc as well15:28
hateballif not.. time to disconnect and find a workaround I guess :p15:29
machstemhateball, lol I never had these strange issues with openSUSE KDE, just started with kubuntu15:29
hateballoh well :)15:30
hateballThey happen infrequently enough for me to not care15:30
machstemyeah, but it's a very large part of what i do :(15:31
machstemthat's my beef15:31
hateballYeah I get that15:31
hateballJust saying... for *me* it works well enough, and I run a minimum of 4 sessions open at all times...15:31
hateballso one can wonder what triggers it15:31
machstemok, so i disabled klipper15:31
machstemretrying15:31
machstemsec15:31
machstemnope lol still keeps the first/last one i copied15:32
sorakun__hello15:32
hateballmachstem: It should be noted I am on 12.04, perhaps there are bugs introduced in whatever version you are using15:33
machstem13.10 here15:33
machstemi figured i'd reformat and use the latest (fth of it)15:33
machstemugh, so annoying :)15:35
hateballmachstem: so this happens on any given machine?15:36
hateballfor me, when it happens, it doesnt always affect all sessions15:36
machstemlet me rdp into my home session, sec15:36
machstemok, well this is just messed ! lol15:37
machstemSo, the RDP work session is keeping the 1st copy and pastes in the RDP session.  the 2nd RDP session keeps my 2nd copy and pastes that.  Depending on which session I use, I get different copy/paste15:38
=== sujith_h_ is now known as sujith_home
hateballmachstem: and you are copying in the host or guest session?15:40
machstemcopying FROM HOST into GUEST session15:41
machstemSo, from ubuntu TO windows15:41
hateballmachstem: you can try adding, in the extra param field "-r clipboard:CLIPBOARD"15:42
hateballfor the connection to the guest15:42
machstemwhere do i add that? (please)15:42
hateballkrdc -> connect to something -> you have that field15:42
machstemunder the "extra options" section ?15:43
hateballyeah it's a white field15:43
machstemsec15:43
hateballI run swedish locale, so not sure of the name :p15:43
machstemhehe15:43
machstemhmm, adding that parameter doesn't allow me to "complete" a connection to my win7 workstations now15:45
hateballwell, without the ""15:45
machstemyes, without the quotes15:45
hateballthat's muchly weird, as I have that to a win7 machine right here15:46
hateballalong with some other params15:46
hateballdunno if it chokes if you dont have klipper running15:46
machstemhmm, good point15:47
machstemsec15:47
machstemnope lol15:48
machstemdamnit! :)15:48
hateball;f15:48
hateballI am running out of ideas here15:48
hateballif you connect using rdesktop from cli then? "rdesktop host.tld -r clipboard:CLIPBOARD"15:48
machstemI am happy that you are helping in any sense15:48
machstemlet me check15:48
machstemrdesktop is not installed15:49
machstemare they the same ?15:49
machstemis it deprecated maybe in 13.10 ?15:49
hateballnah15:49
hateballI think krdc uses a builtin freerdp15:49
hateballbut I am not sure !15:49
machstemok, running an install right now15:49
hateballon 12.04 the krdc package only recommends rdesktop... it doesnt depend on it15:51
hateballso dunno if it only does vnc without... or waev15:51
hateballthis install is so old, I have no idea what I have installed along the way anyhow :D15:51
hateballhmmm kubuntu-full should pull in rdesktop it seems15:52
hateballmachstem: do you have freerdp installed? in case it got changed to that. I dont think krdc has an internal rdp client15:52
machstemsec, talking with a colleague; our filtering software prevents downloads directly from IP addresses (which apt-get tends to do) so it's not installing anything through apt-get :)15:55
hateballoh well, I must take my leave for now. good luck15:55
machstemok thanks for the advice and help15:56
