zerous, probably better asked in #ubuntu-community-team , #ubuntu-devel

deus402, array=(`rename 's/\.mp4$/.test.mp4/' * && ls *.mp4`) and then you can echo ${array[@]} , if i got you

deus402 2017-01-27 02:56:42
TvL2386: i was using * instead of @
deus402 2017-01-27 02:56:51
and missing quotes on my output loops.
markit 2017-01-27 02:57:22
hi, is it normal that linux-firmware-nonfree is no more in 16.04? Does it have changed name by chance?
deus402 2017-01-27 02:58:03
ioria: thanks for the solution. everything i have been reading in the last couple hours though says it's a bad idea to parse ls output, i got it figured out though.
ioria 2017-01-27 02:58:43
deus402, ok, but the filename does not change in your script ...
ioria 2017-01-27 02:59:11
deus402, i thought you wanted to change it (for real, i mean)
sruli1 2017-01-27 03:01:31
in lubuntu 16.04 how can i set the screen brightness on a notebook? hardware buttuns dont do it (while booted in win hardware buttons do work)
ioria 2017-01-27 03:02:23
sruli1, xrandr --output myscreen --brightness 0.7 , for example
TvL2386 2017-01-27 03:02:38
hey deus402. I notice your second file is missing .orig in the name
ioria 2017-01-27 03:03:19
sruli1, where myscreen is vga, dp or whatever
TvL2386 2017-01-27 03:03:21
deus402, I'm not convinced why parsing ls output is bad... I'm curious though
TvL2386 2017-01-27 03:04:41
I use `ls * | while read file` or `find ...... | while read file` constructions quite often
sruli 2017-01-27 03:05:10
ioria: how do i find the name of my output?
ioria 2017-01-27 03:05:27
sruli1, xxrandr
ioria 2017-01-27 03:06:05
sruli1, xrandr | grep -w connected
deus402 2017-01-27 03:06:22
TvL2386: missed that...
elias_a 2017-01-27 03:06:45
What is a good reasonably sized live cd for running chrootkit?
sruli 2017-01-27 03:07:07
ioria: it seems its already set to 1.0 but its a far cry from bright! (btw, i reconnected as 'sruli')
elias_a 2017-01-27 03:07:39
Or does not have to be a live cd. The important thing is the possibility to update the sw and signatures if needed.
elias_a 2017-01-27 03:08:11
So: which techie toolkit would you carry with you?
deus402 2017-01-27 03:08:31
TvL2386: fixed https://paste.ubuntu.com/23874840/

hi
SnooZerD 2017-01-27 03:08:49
I would like to ask how to have 16.10 server start booting in a font such as 8x16 and stay this size, until the login prompt.
TvL2386 2017-01-27 03:09:30
deus402, nope. in and out are the same :)
TvL2386 2017-01-27 03:09:43
back to the drawing board
deus402 2017-01-27 03:10:12
lol, need more sleep i guess.
deus402 2017-01-27 03:10:20
also, you may be right: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/128985/why-not-parse-ls
TvL2386 2017-01-27 03:10:22
definitely if you missed that :P
SigmaTel 2017-01-27 03:11:07
Hi!
deus402 2017-01-27 03:11:18
literally every question on serverfault or stackexhange or whatever has comments berating the parsing of ls, so, like the article says, i just accepted it wholesale.
SigmaTel 2017-01-27 03:12:06
Can anybody help me with setting up WLAN in Ubuntu MinimalCD?
SebthreeBQM10HD 2017-01-27 03:13:04
SigmaTel, uh minimal cd ?
SigmaTel 2017-01-27 03:13:10
yep
SebthreeBQM10HD 2017-01-27 03:13:11
what's that?
SebthreeBQM10HD 2017-01-27 03:13:22
also sounds like something that will lack wireless drivers etc as well
SigmaTel 2017-01-27 03:13:27
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
SebthreeBQM10HD 2017-01-27 03:13:36
proably the basic cut down thing
SebthreeBQM10HD 2017-01-27 03:13:40
if thre is stil one sure
SebthreeBQM10HD 2017-01-27 03:13:53
SigmaTel, are you after a grapphical user interface and such as well
SigmaTel 2017-01-27 03:13:54
my WLAN card is by Broadcom, with those proprietrary drivers.
SebthreeBQM10HD 2017-01-27 03:13:58
if so better to use the standard desktop iso
SebthreeBQM10HD 2017-01-27 03:14:19
SigmaTel, might be able to find a driver in additional drivers
SebthreeBQM10HD 2017-01-27 03:14:22
searfch for that
SebthreeBQM10HD 2017-01-27 03:14:28
in unity interface
SebthreeBQM10HD 2017-01-27 03:14:30
!wireless
ubottu 2017-01-27 03:14:31
Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
SebthreeBQM10HD 2017-01-27 03:14:50
SigmaTel, broadcomm generally seems to need a propritary driver yes
SigmaTel 2017-01-27 03:15:20
SebthreeBQM10HD: I have found the linux-image-extra for a kernel which I need, but repack of the initrd.gz gave me nothing
SigmaTel 2017-01-27 03:15:51
The standard ISO installs too many useless things for me.

Hi guys, my system reboots itself everyday at 6.25am, how do I find out why?
SigmaTel 2017-01-27 03:17:37
WiFiDocs doesn't have an article about BCM4312

mazilla non funsiona
TvL2386 2017-01-27 03:19:01
hey deus402 thanks for the link. Yeah I understand there could be corner-cases where parsing `ls` output would not work. In such a case where you do have to handle weird filenames, I fall back to using a programming language instead of bash scripting. Interesting read that why-not-parse-ls
TvL2386 2017-01-27 03:21:47
deus402, just use the right hammer for the right tool. And this is all fun and interesting, but when you just want to accomplish something, just create what you need. For your case a simple oneliner is enough. If you want something cool that always works, spend more time and craft something cool
Jharm 2017-01-27 03:22:11
hello everyone, i have set up a local server and i'm having issues finding the domain from http. But for some reason i can see the domain from https. i have my server benind an AP client. This allows me to connect it to my router wirelessly, i'm thinking this might be my issue. Any suggestesing?
TvL2386 2017-01-27 03:23:47
deus402, ruby -e "Dir.glob('*.mp4').each { |f| puts f.gsub(/\.mp4$/, '.test.mp4') }"
TvL2386 2017-01-27 03:24:48
deus: and if you want the new filenames in an array: ruby -e "array = Dir.glob('*.mp4').map { |f| f.gsub(/\.mp4$/, '.test.mp4') }"
Southern_Gentlem 2017-01-27 03:25:02
Jharm, sounds like you have a forward from http to https setup
Jharm 2017-01-27 03:25:35
i think i crossed all my T and dotted all my i
Jharm 2017-01-27 03:25:46
i check all config files and they all seem right
Jharm 2017-01-27 03:26:31
i have both port 80 and 443 openend and listening.

sobczyk 2017-01-27 03:39:34
is there any way to decrease pendrive write buffer, without going to extreme with sync mount option?
sobczyk 2017-01-27 03:40:06
I have a problem when copy operation is finished, but the data keeps syncing for the next few minutes
sobczyk 2017-01-27 03:40:19
it's a huge usability problem
liteon23 2017-01-27 03:44:41
anyone got an idea for this problem: admin-user can play a DVD, non-admin user can access the DVD but gets decoding errors. (ubuntu 16.04, vlc, libdvdcss2 installed)
liteon23 2017-01-27 03:45:04
^non-admin user is in group cdrom
