You apparently have "cp" aliased to "cp -g ...".  Type 'alias' to 
find out.  Then remove this alias setting from your .bashrc file, 
or whereever it is set, and relogin.

... or just unalias (instead of relogin).

Thank you both, indeed I had the -g option in my aliases, have the options 
changed recently for cp & mv commands?

==============================================
 $ alias
alias cp='cp -ivg'
alias d='ls --color'
alias diff='colordiff'
alias grep='grep --color=auto'
alias less='less -r'
alias ll='ls --color -l'
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias mv='mv -ivg'
alias rm='rm -iv'
==============================================

I can't even remember what -g used to do . . .

[OT] Progress bar for cp? (was:[gentoo-user] PATH error?)

Which reminds me: now that -g is gone, is there any switch to cp to make 
it display a progress bar?  Any other (simple) way of getting a progress 
bar for large files?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi,

How about a rather neat ascii bar, http://www.theiling.de/projects/bar.html

[quote]
Copy a file
Standard:  cp infile outfile
With Progress Bar: bar -o outfile infile

Copy several files to another directory (showing a common progress bar)
Standard:  cp file1 file2 file2 outdir/
With Progress Bar: bar -c 'cat > outdir/${bar_file}' file1 file2 file3
[/quote]

Not exactly perfect but does work.

Thanks
Mark

Nope.

Use another program, like the filemanager in your desktop, or scp
(yes, scp works for local copying as well!).

I was trying to remember what -g stood for and just confirmed my suspicion why 
a progress bar is no longer being displayed.  What's the current equivalent 
(why was -g taken out)?

There is no equivalent...the progress bar was a gentoo-specific patch
that was rejected by upstream, so it got dropped.

Where can we get this patch?  I looked at the bug report, but I couldn't

Does anyone know, why it is gone? I remember, that it was 
there and then a short time later, it was gone again.

It's patch/generic/001_all_coreutils-gen-progress-bar.patch in the
coreutils-$version-patches.tar.bz2 distfile.  Versions after 5.97
dropped the patch, so you may need to get the distfile again from your
favorite mirror.  Fex:

ftp://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo/distfiles/coreutils-5.97-patches-1.0.tar.bz2

I guess that means I'll have to get around to choosing and installing a

I liked that thing! Wouldn't it be possible to make a USE flag to apply that 
patch? Does it really HAVE to be accepted upstream for us Gentoo users to use 
it?

Yeah, I thought that too, but I don't get it, not even with -v. I've
tried to copy some really big files and directories recursively and
there's no progress bar showed. Quick look at a manpage mentions only
how to disable it (-q) but that's useless to me, isn't it? :) Any clue
what could be wrong?

Well, scp does not have a real "progress bar" (ie, like wget), but only 
shows what the man page calls "progress meter" (percentage, size, speed 
and ETA indicators). Are you getting at least these indicators? or 
nothing at all?

Yeah, meter is a better term, but I still don't get it.

% du -h temp_dvds
1.9G    temp_dvds
1.9G    total

Hmm, damn.  I'd swear that used to work.

Heh, it works now. I replaced net-misc/openssh with net-misc/ssh. It
seems that scp from the openssh doesn't have this progress meter
feature, although there's mention of it in a manpages.

The progress meter seems to work only on actual network connections, and 
not local copies:

nazgul ~ # scp alanm@dot:~/downloads/wv-* /usr/portage/distfiles
alanm@dot's password:
wv-1.2.3.tar.gz                         100%  615KB 614.8KB/s   00:00
