[02:18] <Tracking> Hello
[02:22] <Tracking> Does anyone here know how to use kradio4
[03:08] <DarthFrog> Can anyone think how I might walk a directory tree and replace all instances of : in a file name with -?
[03:13] <tsimpson> DarthFrog: probably by using find
[03:16] <tsimpson> there's also "rename", though I've never used it
[03:16] <Unit193> (rename is very handy.)
[03:20] <DarthFrog> I shall check that out, thanks.
[03:21] <DarthFrog> "find" will find the files but I don't know how to do the character substitution.
[03:21] <DarthFrog> I find "find" to be very powerful but very complex. :-)
[03:27] <tsimpson> you could mix them, find /path -type f -print | rename 's/:/-/g'
[03:28] <DarthFrog> tsimpson: Thanks, I'll give that a shot (on a backup copy!).
[03:28] <Unit193> -n = noact
[03:28] <tsimpson> there's also krename, apparently
[03:28] <DarthFrog> Unit193: is that a dry-run command to rename?
[03:29] <tsimpson> yep, -n/--no-act
[03:29] <Unit193> Right.
[03:29] <DarthFrog> Useful, that.
[03:33] <DarthFrog> tsimpson: It looks like that construction works. Many thanks.
[03:35] <tsimpson> glad it worked :)
[03:37] <DarthFrog> so am I. :-)
[03:38] <ronnoc> Riddell: Thx
[03:38] <DarthFrog> I 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.
[03:39] <DarthFrog> DLNA rocks, BTW. :-)

[12:17] <buer> Hello, I pulled out nvidia graphics from machine and running onboard intel graphics ... i have working xorg.conf which works when i start it from console ... but when machine comes up it start X in failsafe and probably i dont have lightdm so its a blank screen i have to manually kill failsafe X server and restarts gdm
[12:21] <hateball> buer: did you purge all nvidia-packages?
[12:36] <Tracking> Hello
[12:47] <greatway> hi all
[12:47] <greatway> i use kubuntu 12.04.4
[12:47] <greatway> and install qt
[12:47] <greatway> qt 4.8.1
[12:48] <greatway> how i can upgrade to 4.8.5
[12:48] <greatway> ?
[12:48] <greatway> any idea?
[12:50] <greatway> or upgrade to 4.8.2
[12:53] <lordievader> !info libqtcore4 precise
[12:54] <ubottu> libqtcore4 (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 kB
[12:54] <lordievader> greatway: It might be that the kubuntu-backports carries a newer version of Qt.
[12:56] <greatway> lordievader: i use sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
[12:57] <greatway> lordievader: that's true?
[12:58] <lordievader> greatway: Yes that seems correct, but I do not see a libqtcore4 in kubuntu-backports. Hmm might be some other package...
=== mpmc is now known as mpmc[BNC4FREE]
[12:58] <greatway> lordievader: i use apt-get install libqtcore4
[12:59] <greatway> lordievader: going for upgrade
[12:59] <greatway> lordievader: qt4-x11 available
[12:59] <greatway> 4.8.2
[12:59] <greatway> lordievader: i use apt-get upgrade libqtcore4
[12:59] <greatway> no install
[13:00] <lordievader> greatway: With "apt-cache policy <package-name>" you can check the version.
[13:00] <greatway> lordievader: Ok,Thanks a lot
[13:01] <lordievader> greatway: 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] <greatway> lordievader: Yes, i want to upgrade qt upper than 4.8.1 only
[13:02] <greatway> 4.8.2 available

[15:18] <machstem> hey 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!
[15:19] <lordievader> machstem: I had some issues with krdc lately too, I switched to the Ubuntu rdp client.
[15:19] <machstem> lordievader, what is it called?
[15:19] <machstem> rdesktop ?
[15:21] <machstem> I 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] <lordievader> machstem: I'm trying to find how it was called.
[15:22] <machstem> lordievader, I had tried 2x but it lacked in options and hasn't been updated in years
[15:23] <hateball> fwiw, I just disconnect the session and it usually works
[15:23] <hateball> rather than actually killing it entirely
[15:23] <hateball> Still, it is annoying at times.
[15:23] <lordievader> machstem: Ah it was vinagre: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Vinagre (ah I know remeber that it was for vnc connections...)
[15:23] <lordievader> Not really sure if it supports rdp too.
[15:24] <machstem> hateball, 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] <lordievader> machstem: Hmm sorry, vinagre doesn't seem to support rdp connections.
[15:24] <machstem> i 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 putty
[15:24] <hateball> sometimes 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 again
[15:25] <machstem> lordievader, thanks for looking :)
[15:25] <machstem> hateball, what do you mean "in klippers history" ?
[15:25] <hateball> machstem: I am assuming you use klipper, and by default it has a history of... 10 items?
[15:26] <hateball> sometimes a blank entry makes it to the top, and no matter if you use ctrl+c/v it wont replace it
[15:26] <machstem> umm, i am using KRDC (KDE Remote Desktop client)
[15:26] <hateball> so I click the tray icon and choose an item
[15:26] <hateball> machstem: Yes... but klipper manages your clipboard
[15:26] <hateball> ... assuming you run it
[15:27] <machstem> hateball, ah, i see...that's the pair of scissors icon ?
[15:27] <hateball> machstem: yep
[15:27] * hateball cant imagine someone working without klipper ;p
[15:27] <machstem> so, this might be conflicting with krdc ?
[15:27] <machstem> or how do i manage that ?
[15:28] <machstem> i see my history when i click it
[15:28] <machstem> so i "select" what i want and then try ?
[15:28] <hateball> well you can easily see if you have a blank entry at the top of the list
[15:28] <hateball> yes, clicking an item should put it back into your clipboard
[15:28] <hateball> and it should work across krdc as well
[15:29] <hateball> if not.. time to disconnect and find a workaround I guess :p
[15:29] <machstem> hateball, lol I never had these strange issues with openSUSE KDE, just started with kubuntu
[15:30] <hateball> oh well :)
[15:30] <hateball> They happen infrequently enough for me to not care
[15:31] <machstem> yeah, but it's a very large part of what i do :(
[15:31] <machstem> that's my beef
[15:31] <hateball> Yeah I get that
[15:31] <hateball> Just saying... for *me* it works well enough, and I run a minimum of 4 sessions open at all times...
[15:31] <hateball> so one can wonder what triggers it
[15:31] <machstem> ok, so i disabled klipper
[15:31] <machstem> retrying
[15:31] <machstem> sec
[15:32] <machstem> nope lol still keeps the first/last one i copied
[15:32] <sorakun__> hello
[15:33] <hateball> machstem: It should be noted I am on 12.04, perhaps there are bugs introduced in whatever version you are using
[15:33] <machstem> 13.10 here
[15:33] <machstem> i figured i'd reformat and use the latest (fth of it)
[15:35] <machstem> ugh, so annoying :)
[15:36] <hateball> machstem: so this happens on any given machine?
[15:36] <hateball> for me, when it happens, it doesnt always affect all sessions
[15:36] <machstem> let me rdp into my home session, sec
[15:37] <machstem> ok, well this is just messed ! lol
[15:38] <machstem> So, 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/paste
=== sujith_h_ is now known as sujith_home
[15:40] <hateball> machstem: and you are copying in the host or guest session?
[15:41] <machstem> copying FROM HOST into GUEST session
[15:41] <machstem> So, from ubuntu TO windows
[15:42] <hateball> machstem: you can try adding, in the extra param field "-r clipboard:CLIPBOARD"
[15:42] <hateball> for the connection to the guest
[15:42] <machstem> where do i add that? (please)
[15:42] <hateball> krdc -> connect to something -> you have that field
[15:43] <machstem> under the "extra options" section ?
[15:43] <hateball> yeah it's a white field
[15:43] <machstem> sec
[15:43] <hateball> I run swedish locale, so not sure of the name :p
[15:43] <machstem> hehe
[15:45] <machstem> hmm, adding that parameter doesn't allow me to "complete" a connection to my win7 workstations now
[15:45] <hateball> well, without the ""
[15:45] <machstem> yes, without the quotes
[15:46] <hateball> that's muchly weird, as I have that to a win7 machine right here
[15:46] <hateball> along with some other params
[15:46] <hateball> dunno if it chokes if you dont have klipper running
[15:47] <machstem> hmm, good point
[15:47] <machstem> sec
[15:48] <machstem> nope lol
[15:48] <machstem> damnit! :)
[15:48] <hateball> ;f
[15:48] <hateball> I am running out of ideas here
[15:48] <hateball> if you connect using rdesktop from cli then? "rdesktop host.tld -r clipboard:CLIPBOARD"
[15:48] <machstem> I am happy that you are helping in any sense
[15:48] <machstem> let me check
[15:49] <machstem> rdesktop is not installed
[15:49] <machstem> are they the same ?
[15:49] <machstem> is it deprecated maybe in 13.10 ?
[15:49] <hateball> nah
[15:49] <hateball> I think krdc uses a builtin freerdp
[15:49] <hateball> but I am not sure !
[15:49] <machstem> ok, running an install right now
[15:51] <hateball> on 12.04 the krdc package only recommends rdesktop... it doesnt depend on it
[15:51] <hateball> so dunno if it only does vnc without... or waev
[15:51] <hateball> this install is so old, I have no idea what I have installed along the way anyhow :D
[15:52] <hateball> hmmm kubuntu-full should pull in rdesktop it seems
[15:52] <hateball> machstem: do you have freerdp installed? in case it got changed to that. I dont think krdc has an internal rdp client
[15:55] <machstem> sec, 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] <hateball> oh well, I must take my leave for now. good luck
[15:56] <machstem> ok thanks for the advice and help
