=== Vito is now known as Vito_away
[04:31] <GH0> Is there any way to do an ls command and have it list ONLY directories? Not the contents inside a directory?
=== administrador is now known as pereiraalex
[04:41] <DaZ> GH0: you mean only ls, or ls with some string after it :v
[04:41] <GH0> Well, I figured it out, but, now I am getting this: sudo: unable to execute /bin/ls: Argument list too long
[04:41] <GH0> Which is a problem, because I haven't figured out a way to get around that.
[04:41] <GH0> The command I am using is: sudo ls -d --recursive */*
[04:43] <GH0> Not exactly great with regex, so I don't know if there is a way I could tell it to list all directories in A, then B, etc. Then I would output each command to a text folder for me to search.
[04:48] <DaZ> http://wklej.org/hash/a5cffb267d9/
[04:48] <DaZ> amidoinitrite
[04:49] <DaZ> though if it's ranting about too long list of arguments, dunno :v.
[04:52] <DaZ> GH0: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/43328/how-to-solve-sudo-unable-to-execute-bin-ls-argument-list-too-long
[04:54] <GH0> Well, I figured out my regular expression enough for it to work correctly. Just doing [eE]*/* but finding a way to better automate the process so I don't have to manually type in each letter would be great. But they would have to be new commands every time.
[04:54] <GH0> And then that is where it completely is over my head.
[04:54] <GH0> This works well enough
[04:55] <DaZ> [a-zA-Z] instead gets every letter.
[04:55] <DaZ> though i have no idea what are you actually trying to achieve and it's way too late
[04:55] <DaZ> so, g'nite :v
[04:57] <GH0> Yeah, thanks for the help. Have a good one.
[05:04] <artichoku> hello everyone
[05:04] <artichoku> having some problems with a fresh install of kubuntu 12.10. Wondering if anyone could assist
[05:07] <Bigcheese> Where the hell is .xsession-errors set as the error file? I tried changing ERRFILE in /etc/X11/Xsession, but it's still getting written to.
[05:07] <Bigcheese> And if you try to change the perms on it, the file gets moved.

[14:05] <rnd_> Hi everyone.
[14:06] <rnd_> With the Kubuntu 12.10 installer there's no way to setup an encrypted LVM without having it take the whole disk?
[14:06] <rnd_> (I'm going to do this with the alternate image of Kubuntu 12.10 beta1 and then updating the packages, but still, meh...)
[14:22] <Subfusc> rnd_: not even in custom disk setup?
=== bline is now known as bline_home
[14:31] <rnd_> Subfusc: apparently not... When I delete an existing partition and add a new one all I get to choose is the fileystem's type, which includes swap too but not LVM. I see no encryption option either.

[16:45] <hpfrantzy5> You don't have permission to access /IvyHarvest/index.php on this server.
[16:46] <hpfrantzy5> myrights, Ive tried giving it full access
[16:46] <hpfrantzy5> TheLordOfTime: You don't have permission to access /IvyHarvest/index.php on this server.
[16:47] <TheLordOfTime> i can read.
[16:47]  * TheLordOfTime is multitasking
[16:47] <TheLordOfTime> hpfrantzy5, what's the full directory path to the file?
[16:47] <TheLordOfTime> also, who has ownership, and what user is Apache/PHP running as?
[16:47] <TheLordOfTime> (should be www-data if they're sane)
[16:48] <hpfrantzy5> /var/www/IvyHarvest
[16:48] <hpfrantzy5> user is the root user
[16:49] <TheLordOfTime> you didn't answer my question abotu who apache and php are running as
[16:49] <hpfrantzy5> TheLordOfTime: I started apache as the root user? Is that what you mean? I am a noob
[16:50] <TheLordOfTime> hpfrantzy5, right...
[16:50] <TheLordOfTime> right now, i can't do hand-holding, because i'm multitasking user support, and server maintenance

[16:51] <hpfrantzy5> TheLordOfTime: thanks though bro.
[16:51] <TheLordOfTime> sorry.  someone'll either come and help you, or i'll come back from doing server maintenance and help.

[19:57] <yoyoz_> Hey guys, how to install 3.2.0-35.55 kernel?
[20:00] <BluesKaj> yoyoz_, if you're on 12.04 it's the default
[20:00] <yoyoz_> BluesKaj: right now I am on 3.2.0-35-generic
[20:00] <yoyoz_> BluesKaj: for some purpose
[20:01] <yoyoz_> BluesKaj: So how to switch to that?
[20:03] <BluesKaj> yoyoz_, , have you updated/upgraded and dist upgraded lately
[20:04] <yoyoz_> BluesKaj: can you explain that?
[20:05] <BluesKaj> yoyoz_, sudo apt-get update:sudo apt-get upgrade , then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade,  in the terminal
[20:06] <heoyea> breakage coming
[20:06] <BluesKaj> !apt-get
[20:06] <ubottu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE)
[20:06] <BluesKaj> heoyea, not on 12.04
[20:07] <yoyoz_> BluesKaj: No, i need to upgrade only kernel. Just that, please
[20:07] <BluesKaj> !kernel
[20:07] <ubottu> The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages)
[20:08] <heoyea> use apt pinning
[20:09] <heoyea> to grab different branch for newer kernel
[20:10] <yoyoz_> Don't get it O_o
[20:10] <yoyoz_> heoyea: BluesKaj Previosly there was a command like sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-3.2.0.33-generic

[21:50] <syncsys> I cannot install skype on 64 bit.
[21:50] <syncsys> any help?
[21:51] <dniMretsaM> syncsys: what errors do you get?
[21:53] <syncsys>  The "skype" package could not be marked for installation or upgrade:
[21:53] <syncsys> Depends: skype-bin, but it is a virtual package
[21:54] <syncsys> I dont have skype-bin available
[21:54] <dniMretsaM> do you have the partner repos enabled? it might be in there
[21:55] <syncsys> yes
[21:55] <syncsys> not the source code though
[21:58] <syncsys> dniMretsaM,  iam on 64 bit
[21:59] <dniMretsaM> of course the source code isn't there. it's a proprietary program
[22:03] <syncsys> ok. so why it isnt installing
[22:04] <dniMretsaM> you don't need the source code to install the program
[22:11] <syncsys> what will sudo apt-get install -f do?
[22:14] <syncsys> dniMretsaM,   its removing all my packages.............
=== fran is now known as Guest7407
[22:15] <dniMretsaM> the -f option will fix all the dependency issues that your installed packages have
=== Guest7407 is now known as pandev92
[22:17] <dniMretsaM> syncsys: what command are you running?
[22:18] <syncsys> sudo apt-get install -f
[22:19] <dniMretsaM> why are you doing that?
[22:19] <syncsys> somebody said me that it will fix apt
[22:19] <syncsys> dniMretsaM,  what will it do?
[22:20] <dniMretsaM> I just told you. you could also read the apt-get man page
[22:21] <dniMretsaM> syncsys: what is the output that you get when you run "sudo apt-get install skype"?
[22:21] <syncsys> iam in a biger problem  sudo apt-get install -fftware are removed by  now. all my so
[22:22] <dniMretsaM> what?
[22:22] <syncsys>  sudo apt-get install -f has removed all my software
[22:23] <dniMretsaM> then why did you let it continue?
[22:24] <syncsys>  sudo apt-get install -f
[22:24] <dniMretsaM> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop will get you the base system installed again
[22:24] <syncsys> it attemppts to fix.  thats what is written in man
[22:24] <dniMretsaM> yeah. but if it tells you that it's removing all your packages, obviously something else is wrong
[22:25] <syncsys> hm it removed all. now what should i do?
[22:25] <dniMretsaM> I already told you
[22:26] <syncsys> what?
[22:26] <syncsys> oh
[22:26] <dniMretsaM> "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop will get you the base system installed again"
[22:26] <syncsys> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[22:27] <syncsys> what now.....
[22:27] <dniMretsaM> run sudo apt-get install -f again. it's possible that it didn't finish removing everything
[22:27] <syncsys> hm
[22:27] <dniMretsaM> (which, I remind you, you should never have let it do)
[22:28] <syncsys> no
[22:28] <syncsys> it has nothing to do new
[22:28] <syncsys> i ran it again.
[22:28] <syncsys> so what now
[22:29] <dniMretsaM> can you install anything?
[22:29] <syncsys> yes
[22:30] <syncsys> manully
[22:30] <syncsys> but not by -f
[22:30] <dniMretsaM> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop doesn't work, right?
[22:31] <syncsys> no. it has alot of dependencies
[22:31] <syncsys> i think iam left with reinstalling kubuntu
[22:31] <syncsys> it even removed grupb
[22:31] <syncsys> rub
[22:31] <syncsys> grub
