<v_> cp -a = preserve permissions/ownership in case you're doing it as root or something
<kenthomson> v_, that means i can use " find /home/ken/pictures -iname "0034*" " seperately and it would give me the same output as " find /home/ken/pictures -| grep 0034* "??
<mwe> hey I seem to have some kind of weird DNS problem. I can browse but irc and apt can't resolve names.
<v_> kenthomson: yea
<kenthomson> v_, ok thanks
<mwe> would could be causing that?
<kenthomson> v_, and may i know why there are empty curly braces after cp -a {}
<v_> kenthomson: iname means case insensitive, which really doesn't matter here since we're searching for numbes, but i tend to use it as default
<v_> {} represents $filename
<nikolassoo> hej jest ktos z polski
<kenthomson> v_, than why is it empty? and what is the "$" in "$filename"?
<v_> oh
<v_> i was just using $filename as an expression
<mwe> aptitude update says 'could not resolve archive.ubuntu.com' ?
<kenthomson> v_, {} = filename so than why is it empty in your command? Shouldn't it be filled with something?
<kenthomson> mwe, can you open any website?
<mwe> ping archive.ubuntu.com works though
<kenthomson> mwe, are you on ADSL?
<mwe> kenthomson: yes
<mwe> kenthomson: and yes
<kenthomson> mwe, which of my question is yes
<kenthomson> ok
<v_> kenthomson: with exec in find, {} represents each/or all files
<null1357> hello. one question. i am having problems with configuring pppoe on edgy. after running pppoeconf, i am able to connect with pon dsl-provider, i get a ip address from my isp's dhcp, but there is no traffic. when i try to ping anything, i get an error. i am using wireless 802.11b, i connect through an d-link AP acting as a wireless client
<mwe> kenthomson: ping archive.ubuntu.com works as well
<CheshireViking> how can I mount a windows server directory? presumably I create a mount point, but I'm lost after that
<mwe> kenthomson: it's kinda odd
<mwe> kenthomson: firefox works but not irc and apt
<ashridah> hey all. is it possible to disable the annoying UUID stuff ubuntu keeps going on with? it keeps fiddling with itself, and trying to boot from the wrong drive
<kenthomson> mwe, i dont think i can help you in that case
<v_> i gotta go
<v_> later
<Anubi1> can someone tell me how to install a program from a "bin" file ?
<null1357> hello. one question. i am having problems with configuring pppoe on edgy. after running pppoeconf, i am able to connect with pon dsl-provider, i get a ip address from my isp's dhcp, but there is no traffic. when i try to ping anything, i get an error. i am using wireless 802.11b, i connect through an d-link AP acting as a wireless client
<mwe> Anubi1: chmod +x file.bin then ./file.bin

<kenthomson> Can someone be kind enough to paste the command that v_ gave me above? i got disconnected
<BrianG> <v_> kenthomson: with exec in find, {} represents each/or all files
<BrianG> oh waithaha
<kenthomson> BrianG, theres a big long command
<BrianG> hang on
<kenthomson> BrianG, maybe it is something like; find /home/ken/pictures ... iname=...-exec cp -a {} /home/ken/demo
<BrianG> <v_> kenthomson: find /home/ken/pictures -iname "0034*" -exec cp -a {} /home/ken/demo/ \;
<timbobsteve> what is a command that will print out the version of Ubuntu I am using?
<kenthomson> BrianG, that haelped a lot thanks
