<tomix> I can sync using an evolution calendar but seems to cough up when it comes to google calendar
<timbobsteve> hi all
<sephy> how do I change directory to the one beffore I am in
<tomix> sorry a way
<deadeyes> cd -
<sephy> I am in /home/sephy
<sephy> I want to get to /home
<deadeyes> Sephiroth, cd -
<timbobsteve> sephy: type "cd ~"
<Lattyware> Fair enough, two or more.
<tomix> sure it must be possible and have tried checking make and offline copy
<chavo> sephy, cd ..
<v_> cd ..
<kenthomson> I need to do this: I am in /home/ken/pictures and i want to copy all the images begining with 0034* that may be lying in all the subfolder within /home/ken/pictures like ~/pictures/wallpapers or ~/pictures/others/ or ~/pictures/misc, i want to copy all of those to /home/ken/demo/, can someone please help
<timbobsteve> can someone clear something up for me... if my internal DNS server cannot find the required listing, how do I make it pass the request on to my gateway (so the gateway can pass it on to my ISPs DNS server) ???
<exs> I have a daughter who enjoys maths. She would like a maths tutor program and currently I'm using ubuntu edgy.
<kenthomson> exs search for "maths" in synaptic
<timbobsteve> kenthomson: try typing "cp /home/ken/*/0034* /home/ken/demo/ -v"
<coNP> timbobsteve: what kind of gateway do you have?
<v_> kenthomson: do you want to preserve subdirectories?
<timbobsteve> coNP: a D-Link DSL2+ router...
<_FreeDom00_> !seen eisen
<ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seen eisen - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
<kenthomson> v_, know i want all the pictures to be picked from all the subdirectories in ~/pictures and to be dumped together (without subdirectories) to ~/demo/
<coNP> _FreeDom00_: I guess you should msg nickserv if you want know something about eisen
<kenthomson> v_, i meant NO
<coNP> timbobsteve: then set the DNS server to the gateway
<v_> kenthomson: find /home/ken/pictures -iname "0034*
<v_> oops
<timbobsteve> kenthomson: what I said before will do what you want "cp /home/ken/pictures/*/0034* ~/demo -v"
<coNP> timbobsteve: i.e. let it resolve the names the way it wants to
<kenthomson> timbobsteve, what is the -v for?
<kenthomson> v_, i am trying to copy
<timbobsteve> kenthomson: so it tells you what it is/isn't moving
<coNP> kenthomson: -v is for verbose output
<kenthomson> ok
<v_> kenthomson: find /home/ken/pictures -iname "0034*" -exec cp -a {} /home/ken/demo/ \;
<timbobsteve> coNP: how do you mean "the way it wants to" ?
<v_> kenthomson: yea i know i hit enter by accident
<kenthomson> timbobsteve, but what if there is a pic in two subdirectories below ~/pictures in say ~/pictures/1/2/3/0034_demoPic, ? How will that be copied
<v_> kenthomson: mine will work if there are multiple subdirectory levels
<kenthomson> v_, will all the pictures, in any number of sub-directories down the line..
<kenthomson> v_, i was going to say that :)
<coNP> timbobsteve: maybe, it was too much :)
<timbobsteve> kenthomson: use v_'s method... it will do that
<timbobsteve> coNP: I don't follow ?
<kenthomson> v_, could you please take the time to explain a little bit of what you have written?
<coNP> timbobsteve: sorry I think it was not really important
<timbobsteve> coNP: np...
<v_> use the find command to search in directory /home/ken/pictures for files beginning with 0034 and then execute the command copy each file found to /home/ken/demo
