Hi! Aptitude has a feature called "resolver" which suggests certain combinations of packages, sometimes it suggests downgrades (I think usually to resolve possible conflicts with obsolete configurations, but I'm not sure). If one agrees to let it perform a downgrade the package becomes held back. When it comes to my question about unnecessary dependencies I found out a little more from my research. ;-) It seems like the functionality to mark which packages were manually added and which were automatically added as dependencies only works with packages installed by aptitude. One can of course change already installed packages' states manually, but that's no fun if you've got a couple of hundred dependencies. ;-) In that case it's probably better to remove orphans (as described before or with synaptic's filtering), but I found that it's not as efficient as aptitude's marking system. I think also think it only affects libraries, but I'm not sure. Knowing this I think it seems like a good idea to stick to aptitude only. This shouldn't be too hard since it has both a menu and a command-line interface, so it seems to be a good option for anybody who can do with an ANSI-GUI instead of Gtk/Qt. ;-) cheers, Simon PS. Well, if you're using a really slow system apt-get might be a better option. (Like about Pentium 100MHz... ;-) But then again you're not using Kubuntu... ;-) ...and then you're not unpatient anyways...

(Like about Pentium 100MHz... ;-) But then again you're not using > Kubuntu... ;-) ...and then you're not unpatient anyways... Just one thought to add to this thread... If one day you install a package and all of its dependencies, say three or four of them. Then a month later you install another package. One of the dependencies of the second package also happens to be one of the dependencies of the first package from a month ago, hence this will just 'be there' and not required a re-installed. If you manually kept a track of all dependencies from the first package, and then removed all of them when you decided to remove the package, you would then break the second package you installed a month later - you have removed one of its dependencies. All of the front end apps (Synaptic, Kynaptic, Aptitude et al) all track these dependencies for this reason. I personally use apt-get and Synaptic, they seem the simplest to use and don't break things. On my laptops/PC I don't worry about having a few 'extra unused' packages kicking around. On my servers (Debian, but all the same), I build them with absolutely no packages installed except the base system. Because there is no X windows running, I have to use apt-get (don't like aptitude) or go direct to dpkg... I have never used deborphan, but will look into this. Has anyone else had any bad experiences with it? Sorry to waffle...

It's got a virtually identical command line interface - except that it cleans up some of the oddness (e.g., purge is an actual command instead of an option for "remove"). It takes a little time to train it when converting from an apt-get installed system - it doesn't know that anything was installed automatically. > > I have never used deborphan, but will look into this. Has anyone else had > any bad experiences with it? Yes - it removes _anything_ named 'lib*' (or perhaps it's from the libs section of the repository) that isn't marked as a dependency of an installed package. Sometimes they aren't dependencies. Unlike aptitude, there's no way to mark these as "auto" or not, so you can't just prevent deborphan from selecting them the next time round. -- derek From news at pointerstop.ca Thu Dec 1 14:40:11 2005 From: news at pointerstop.ca (Derek Broughton) Date: Thu, 01 Dec 2005 10:40:11 -0400 Subject: How to clean up unnecessary dependencies?

You should never have to remove dependencies manually if they were _installed_ by aptitude. The problem is that many packages you have were probably installed before aptitude. > The ideal would be if the package managers would keep track of which > packages were picked by the user and which were installed as dependencies. I'm not sure if you mean the person who builds the package (it _can't_ be handled at that level) or the program - like synaptic. Certainly aptitude marks packages as being "automatically" if they're only installed to meet a dependency, and then removes them if nothing depends on them. -- derek From adefreeman at yahoo.com Thu Dec 1 17:38:12 2005 From: adefreeman at yahoo.com (adel wollemas) Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2005 09:38:12 -0800 (PST) Subject: Multiple hard drives In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <20051201173812.45772.qmail@web34305.mail.mud.yahoo.com> I am totally new to Linux and Ubuntu.

A four gig fat32 partition was then created in windows and then configured to mount as /windows in Kubuntu during installation. Additionally, Paragon allows one to hide the NTFS partition from Kubuntu and the Kubuntu partitions from Windows. Caveat: If you utilize a 3rd party boot manager such as Paragon, do NOT allow Kubuntu to load grub or lilo on the MBR; should install to the /boot partition (which should be flagged as bootable) Hope this helps.

Do you have portmapper running? sudo apt-get install portmap Make sure portmap is running ("ps -ef| grep portmap", if it's not running the "sudo /etc/init.d/portmap start") then try the NFS mount again. You may also want to add "bg" to the mount options to background after the first failed attempt - this will save you sitting around for ages until the mount finally gives up.

(top posting fixed) You *don't* need nfs-kernel-server OR nfs-user-server if you only want to act as a client. From the OP's description of the problem, the file system eventually mounts but it takes a long time - this is usually because the CLIENT is not running the portmapper (or occasionally it's a DNS problem). In either case you should not install the nfs server packages unless you want to serve local file systems. James -- Ad astra per aspera.

Message-ID: <1133693669.8681.11.camel@localhost.localdomain> Hi everyone, I updated/upgraded the KDE 3.5 packages on Breezy (Kubuntu) and figured out that they are broken. Files are kept back or removed which left the KDE PIM package for instance total broken (Break/install). Seems that this packages were just pushed out but never tested. Also I found out that the log out takes various times longer, coming up with an error "Cannot talk to Klauncher". The other problem which should be fixed is the fact that the system settings windows are not re sizable. Therefore it causes problems on laptops with a window size "1280x800" like the Toshiba. The lower buttons getting covered by the kicker. This is more of of an annoyance as the printer window in the system settings is to big, but not as you use the same in the printer menu as a single window.

Change the default to whichever number XP is.

I had previously installed the complete kdesktop, in addition to kubuntu-desktop. When I installed kde-3.5.0, using apt-get dist-upgrade, several packages kicked off (akode kmessedwords kubuntu-desktop libkcal2a libkdeedu1 libkdepim1 libkleopatra0a), and kdeedu-doc-html would not upgrade because kmessedwords was missing. Looking at the kdeedu-doc-html package with 'less' does reveal a reference to kmessedwords, even though there is no such upgrade package for 3.5.0. I have been unable to reinstall or fix them.

If you want to reconfigure your x session keyboard, in a terminal (i.e. konsole), you can do: $: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and you will be questioned for all the settings, including keyboard. I'm not sure how to change any other keyboard settings that are done from the install program. You might also be able to use the kde settings program (kcontrol). regards, From mcurley at eol.ca Mon Dec 5 02:25:13 2005 From: mcurley at eol.ca (Merv Curley) Date: Sun, 4 Dec 2005 21:25:13 -0500 Subject: kmail kaddressbook problem In-Reply-To: <200511270828.12604.kubuntu@pusspaws.net> References: <200511221909.17261.kubuntu@pusspaws.net> <200511262001.23015.mcurley@eol.ca> <200511270828.12604.kubuntu@pusspaws.net> Message-ID: <200512042125.13904.mcurley@eol.ca> On Sunday 27 November 2005 03:28, dave s wrote: :) > > I have had kmail stability probs from day one, if I dpkg -P kmail > and re apt-get it I thought I would loose all my carefully setup > kmail config. > > What files did you save to keep your address book and kmail data > intact ? > > Cheers > Dave Wow, I haven't picked up my mail here for awhile, sorry for the absence. In your $HOME directory you will see a hidden file /.kde, this is where most of the good KDE stuff is. Open /share and /apps. If you look in the konqueror directory you will find your bookmarks file, in kabc you will find your address file, std.vcf and so on. These can all be copied to another distro, should you want to try one out, or just saved regularly. if you close /apps and open /config you will find the config files for all your kde apps. Again these can be copied to another distro so you don't have to figure out all the little tweaks you did to kate for example. As I recall kubuntu didn't show me my Mail directory in my $HOME directory when I installed, so I went looking in the kmail config file (kmailrc), and in the General section there was a line [ folders=something ] which I changed to folders=/home/merv/Mail. Now when I ran kmail, it read the Mail directory which I had copied from my previous distro. You can leave yours where Kubuntu has it, in the [ /.kde/share/apps/kmail directory]? Copy it somewhere else, floppy - whatever and then copy it back when you have done your re-install. Hopefully I have given you enough info for you to continue your detective work. At any rate something is wrong in Denmark if Kmail isn't stable.

Geoff Willis, Cornwall, UK In the menu.lst file there is this section ## default num # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and # the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used. # # You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry # is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'. default 0 What you want to do is set this default number to the entry # in the list. The first one is 0, and XP might be 3 or 4, our lists are quite different, mine has about 10 entries so I can't guess what yours is like. Hopefully you will understand, if not include your menu.lst file and we'll help some more.

I installed it on VMware and everything went fine, but now I have a few questions and problems. 1) What repositories should I be using? Are the default ones supplied by the installer ok? I'm a yum user, apt is new to me, what config files should I be looking at? 2) I installed Firefox using the command 'apt-get install firefox', but it looked like it installed an Ubuntu specific build because the default homepage refers to /usr/share/ubuntu/something. 3) This is my major problem. All the fonts are tiny! My xorg.conf file uses 1920x1200, but in KDE I clicked 'Configure Desktop', 'Display' tab, and changed my resolution to 1024x768 so it would better fit in my VMware window. That shouldn't have anything to do with it, right? I tried increasing my font sizes, but I feel that this is a cheap hack workaround. Also, it doesn't completely fix the problem because there are still some fonts that are too small to read (for example, in System Settings -> System Services). 4) This is my other main problem. The font chooser widget isn't giving me the fonts I like. I really dislike the font choices for fixed width fonts, and I use Konsole a lot. Thanks for the help!

Jon If you highlight all messages and then press delete, KMail doesn't 'delete' the mail, it just moves it to your local Trash, which can take time if you have a lot of mail. If you want to directly delete the mail, try highlighting the messages and doing 'Shift --> Delete' This should be a great deal faster...

The Kubuntu package that is part of the kdeutils meta-package provides ksysguard, a relatively basic panel applet that shows memory and cpu usage with two bars. The debian package provides the ksim application that is a kde replacement for gkrellm, highly configurable and providing tons of info.

The Evolution issue is completely different. It's normal on many mail programs to mark mail as deleted in IMAP or Maildir folders without purging it. You could probably make KMail look like Evolution (which I understand is not what you want). There should be an evolution option that allows you to delete messages immediately rather than just mark as deleted. The actual deletion is usually referred to as "Expunge", and marked messages are physically removed when the application is closed. -- derek From mintywalker at gmail.com Tue Dec 6 17:12:08 2005 From: mintywalker at gmail.com (Minty) Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2005 17:12:08 +0000 Subject: Sony memory sticks.

It's really exciting to have people make derived distributions of Kubuntu like this. The server seems to be down at the moment so I can't try it out. As I explained to your colleague work will begin soon on kubuntu-express and it would be great to have any help with coding and testing that.

Thank you, I know this way it does work. However, don't you think it is quite a mess to have so buggy (or wrongly configured) floppy and cdrom mounting thing in media:/ ? I would like to find out how to fix that in the correct way, and to draw the attention of Kubuntu developers. I see that KDE wanted to have it the easy way, making it look more like windows, perhaps, where you have separate trees for every device. However, I think it just got messier this way. Just consider the technical way the drives are referred to in the location bar: media:/fd0... and it could be, that the place in the file tree is actually /media/floppy/ ! now, IS THAT USER FRIENDLY? Which user? The media:/ thing does not always work, even when everything gets mounted and displayed ( I have a problem playing files via kaffeine when I try to access them on different from native partitions and try to do that via media:/hdc0/file.mp3; you still have to go for /media/cdrom0) and the mounting thing is even more messy... OK, I should perhaps stop complaining here :) I would like to help improve this, perhaps i will file a wish report for Kubuntu.... -- Donatas Glodenis From dlaude at usadig.com Wed Dec 7 06:12:52 2005 From: dlaude at usadig.com (Dana J.

I can see the content of the floppy in /media/fd0 once the floppy is mounted by simply browsing to it in konqueror, so I think the rights are not the problem. I can also write to that directory (that is, the floppy). The problem is, the address media:/fd0 does not show me the contents (though it mounts the floppy on /media/fd0).

Do you know of any GUI that actually uses aptitude as a back end? Considering that apt-get and aptitude actually have quite similar input and output it shouldn't be a very big step to migrate GUI applications such as Adept and Synaptic towards that. The only thing is that due to aptitude's vast functionality one might like to add some of it to the GUI too. cheers, Simon From gomadtroll at gci.net Thu Dec 8 04:45:30 2005 From: gomadtroll at gci.net (Greg Madden) Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2005 19:45:30 -0900 Subject: OpenOffice2 Writer Message-ID: <200512071945.30802.gomadtroll@gci.net> Whenever I create a table in writer, enter a column of numbers, then use the sum feature, OOo freezes.

Message-ID: <4398372B.3020208@verizon.net> I want to confirm this before I report it, but it is serious if it is true. I was doing a virus scan on a samba connected windows machine and found some old virus-infected word documents (word 6 format, if it matters). The virus scanner provided by my ISP is produced by Computer Associates, and detects infected files in zip archives, but is incapable of cleaning them. Not wanting to play with them in the vulnerable windows environment, I extracted them from Kubuntu using ark. Then, I opened them with oo2 (1.9 beta - hoary) and saved them as odt files in the original windows directory, expecting that this would strip the virus code. Then, I saved them again as [97/2000/xp] docs (again, in the same directory), expecting to overwrite the infected copy. Problems noted: 1. When opening in oo2, only one in four files prompted oo2's warning that the file might contain macros. 2. When saving the files, I got no overwrite warning/confirmation request. 3. When I checked the file dates in konqueror, they still had the time of extraction, not the time of creation. (which in itself was odd as I would have expected the original date stamp from the ones in the archive) Refreshing the Konqueror view did not change dates. I used oo2's "Save as..." not "Export..." command. Everything was done over Samba. The partition where the files were located is FAT32, not NTFS. A side question, I suppose is whether my original plan would have been effective, i.e., would saving them as OpenDocument text files rather than OpenDocument templates strip out the macro code in which the virus was written? -- _______________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

OK, so you're assuming both synaptic and adept would use aptitude as a back end. Doesn anybody know anything about this? Maybe one could find out by checking which processes are running during usage of synaptic/adept. (I'll look into that later.)

When you get to installing Grub it looks for any other OS you have on the computer, tells you which ones its found and then asks you do you want to install on the MBR. I presume if you say no it will ask you which partition you want to put it on. I usually want both Windows and Ubuntu in the menu so I put it in the MBR and it all works fine.

Windows by nature does not look for other bootloaders on other MBRs. It will find other Windows installations, just not anything else. Putting your small drive first in the boot sequence will allow you to boot either of your other windows installations but not vice versa. The only other way would be to install grub on the MBR of your primary (SATA) drive, but you wouldn't want to mess with Windows on it just *yet* ;) If you don't have the choice to boot windows, you'll have to edit (a few simple lines) your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to include options for windows.

Any idea what am I missing ? You didn't specify, and for others' sake I'll ask, have you exported your public keys and sent them to the other account? You must have the public keys at the destination end for the email client to decrypt the message. I'm sure you know how this works, but for others who may be watching it goes something like this: 1. You create a key pair, a private key, and a public key. 2. You export the public key, and send that to the other person who will receive encrypted email. 3. The other person imports your public key into their email client setup. 4. You create a message and encrypt it with your private key. 5. They receive the message and decrypt the message with your public key. This is very much a simplification, but that's basically how I understand it. Note, there are variations depending on what encryption system is in use, etc. YMMV. However, I'm taking it that you did all that from the part about having setup the keys for the two accounts. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!

Encryption works great but when receiving the encrypted email it appears that Kmail fails to ask me for the passphrase & plain fails with Encrypted message (decryption not possible) Reason: Crypto plug-in "openpgp" could not decrypt the data. Error: Bad passphrase My guess is that I have to turn on a software option somewhere in kmail to make kmail ask me for the keyphrase but I just cannot find it. > > I'm sure you know how this works, but for others who may be watching it > goes something like this: > > 1.

They would use their private key to encrypt and send the message to you to decrypt. (assuming you have his public key to do so) The encryption is generally done with the private key.

They receive the message and decrypt the message with your public key. and when you receive a message (encrypted with _your_ public key) you can encrypt it with your private key. i.e. you can download my public key from the url in my signature. a person who has my public key can send mails to me and i will be the only one who is able to decrypt them (because i am the only one who has the private key). i hope i did not bring more confusion than necessary ;-) cheers, eric -- Erich Birngruber gpg-key: http://www.kk.asn-wien.ac.at/~ebirn/erich_at_kalksburg.asc -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It is most likely that xorg cannot identify the real display characteristics when running under VMWare. You may need to tell xorg the size of your display 'xdpyinfo' will display display information. xdpyinfo | egrep '(resolution|dimension)' will display just the relevant bits. This will probably show 75x75 dots per inch before setting the size Try adding a Displaysize option (in millimetres) to the "Monitor" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. e.g. excerpt from my xorg.conf (for my 17" Dell) Section "Monitor" Identifier "vmware" VendorName "VMware, Inc" HorizSync 1-10000 VertRefresh 1-10000 # DisplaySize 372 230 # Thanks for the help!

I would suggest one of 2 options rather than downloading the entire iso, if you're only going to do one install. Go to the machine you are planning on installing edubuntu onto. Open up your favorite terminal and: sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop And, you're one password away from having all of the edubuntu goodness. If you're going to do a fresh install, just use your kubuntu cd, but do a server install. Then use apt-get to install the desktop as I mentioned before.

No matter, from the K -->System Settings you should see a System Administration icon, and from there the Paths icon. Can't remember if it works on earlier versions, but you can also get there by typing in Konqi's Location bar: settings:/System/ and choose Paths. > Any suggestions on where I point my mouse?

I have ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals with this section: [Paths] Documents=$HOME/Documents but using the settings:/ menu is a lot easier. -Liz > On 12/12/05, Liz Young wrote: > > On Sunday 11 December 2005 11:57 am, Andy Choens wrote: > > > How do I make the Save As and Open Dialog default to ~/Documents > > > instead of ~?

I'm running KDE 3.5, so this may not happen on earlier versions. My confusion was caused by the fact that Kubuntu no longer uses kcontrol directly. Now, when I select "System Settings" in my KDE menu, I am actually launching "systemsettings", not "kcontrol". When I followed your "settings:/System/", I was accessing the kcontrol module, and I immediately found the paths icon, just like you said I would. But, it is NOT present in the System Settings displayed on my computer by default. I've double checked this to make sure I'm not a blind idiot. It's just not there in the pretty cleaned up version of Kcontrol that kubuntu wants me to use. Thanks!

The name of the OOo2 package from the http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/OOo2/ repository is named: OpenOffice.org2- The Debian repository uses the naming scheme: OpenOffice.org- with the version number indicating that its for version 2. So, when you try to install the Thesaurus it complains that "OpenOffice.org-core" >=1.9 not installed. Even though, "OpenOffice.org2-core" is installed. So you have to force it to install, however now it shows up as broken. Any Ideas. BTW: The File->Wizards->Install new Dictionaries Did not work at all.

He's done it to me at least twice and I've asked him to fix it but I guess he can't be bothered, can the list maintainer do something about this and ask the offenders to please stop or be removed from the list.

Message-ID: <200512131314.55102.simon@iki.fi> Hi! I must say I really tried to use Kubuntu (on my PowerBook). Ever since I installed it (Breezy) it's been bloated with bugs. After waiting a couple of months with hardly any bugs being fixed I've started to doubt my choise of distro. (Tested a Hoary live-cd on my Mac, which also seemed a bit buggy... even though not as much.) Today however Konqueror first froze the whole X, I rebooted... then Kontact wouldn't start. That was it for me... I finally did a "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop", and changed to GDM. (Using aptitude to be able to clean up after Ubuntu once I return to Kubuntu, if I do.) Now I'm using my beloved KDE apps from Gnome and it feels real good. ;-) I'd love to help you beta test Kubuntu, but when there's other work to be done one has to be pragmatical. I might come back if I notice that it's gotten much more stable. Or if I sell my Mac and get a PC-laptop.

I've never had any of the problems you describe. I've had Konqueror crash in Hoary, but never lock up X, the only time I get X crashing is due to the nvidia drivers, which has, in the past, been quite frequent, I didn't install the nvidia drivers on my latest install of Hoary until a few days ago, so far no crashes but I don't know if that means anything yet.

The only thing that ever crashes on my system is kaffeine, and konqueror (but only when kaffeine is embedded in konqueror). This has been the same on hoary, breezy, and breezy with kde 3.5.

OK, I'm happy to hear that Kubuntu does well on x86 and AMD64. I guess using Kubuntu on a Mac is kind of uncommon, and therefore may have more bugs. cheers, Simon From claudia_ringwald at web.de Wed Dec 14 23:28:55 2005 From: claudia_ringwald at web.de (Claudia Ringwald) Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2005 00:28:55 +0100 Subject: KMyMoney2 0.8.1 - will it be in the backports?

It's actually been in Dapper for quite a while (I was using it) but it's currently broken (needs kdelibs4c2 but dapper only has kdelibs4c2a). Sid doesn't have a kdelibs4c2a version, either, so I guess Kubuntu has to wait for that. -- derek From czessi at czessi.net Thu Dec 15 17:26:03 2005 From: czessi at czessi.net (Marcus Czeslinski) Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2005 18:26:03 +0100 Subject: kaffeine and xine In-Reply-To: References: <43A165C6.70005@akl.lt> Message-ID: <200512151826.03673.czessi@czessi.net> Hi, > Now I'm using some unofficial packages that were posted here: > http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2005-November/002664.html my repository moved to: http://archive.czessi.net/pool/breezy/testing-updates/i386/ I hope my package works fine. -- Gruß Marcus Czeslinski http://www.czessi.net From news at pointerstop.ca Thu Dec 15 17:30:02 2005 From: news at pointerstop.ca (Derek Broughton) Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2005 13:30:02 -0400 Subject: Shutdown option References: <1134657666.13837.2.camel@localhost.localdomain> <200512151652.57010.simon@iki.fi> Message-ID: Simon Rönnqvist wrote: > It's probably because you're using GDM instead of KDM.

If so, how? > Disclaimer: I don't use Thunderbird, but I was on both until I left the Ubuntu list b/c of the high GNOME related traffic (nothing against gnome, I just don't use it). When I did this in KMAIL I had to make sure the kubuntu filter was run BEFORE the ubuntu filter was run. In KMail this is represented in a top --> bottom stack that orders your filters, and you can raise or lower your filter according to your needs. If Thunderbird, can do this, make sure kubuntu gets run first because a filter looking for kubuntu will ignore ubuntu, but not vice-versa. --andy From noahdain at gmail.com Sat Dec 17 07:50:16 2005 From: noahdain at gmail.com (Noah Dain) Date: Sat, 17 Dec 2005 02:50:16 -0500 Subject: Had enough (of bugs)!

It's nice and fast too. Actually, I did have some minor problems at first with upgrades and config files, but those were resolved by deleting ~/.kde and starting anew. My experiences on gnome have been similar. Are you sure your issues are with kde and not something lower level? Like bad drivers of some sort, buggy X11 server, maybe?

Unfortunately the majority of the themes I want are not packaged for Kubuntu (or Debian) or, if they are they are out of date and you wind up with error messages about unmet dependencies if you try to install them. The other option is to compile from source. Most of the themes on that site have source code you can download and compile. The problem with this is, more often than not I get errors. Sometimes it's in response to the "./configure" entry and other times in response to "make". In my latest scenario I'd downloaded activeheart-1.2.1.tar.bz2 untarred it and tried to compile it. "./configure" worked beautifully. [as a side note, these stupid files almost never include a README or INSTALL file, but at least the author gave instructions on the web site as to what one needed to do. The instruction was ./configure --prefix="`kde-config --prefix` make make install I never got to "make install" I got a ton of error messages after I entered "make". But I digress..... I've Googled "kde debian themes" "kde kubuntu themes" and found very little. Debian sid has a few in it's archive that Kubuntu doesn't have yet, so I grabbed and installed those. A few months back someone had a very nice archive that I'd added to my sources.list file with the most currently popular KDE themes, but due to "user error" that sources.list file is history and I have no idea where I found that archive. So, if you know of any, please speak up. Among the themes I'm looking for Active Heart (Windeco and Style) Comix (Style) -- Scott www.angrykeyboarder.com © 2005 angrykeyboarder™ & Elmer Fudd.

As a ppc user, I have finally given Kubuntu up as a lost cause. Principally, I had very limited success with multimedia. It could NOT reliably find and lock onto my sound system ... and so I was forever resetting the sound so that I could get some output. Getting Amarok and Kaffeine to behave was a full-time task! In comparison Mandriva linux just grabbed the right settings and held on. I could play mp3, broadcasts, etc ... with NO additional fiddling!! I have to say that despite Kubuntu's brand new versions of programs, its multimedia abilities are just cr_p!! Kubuntu comes with a brilliant look and feel ... and its package management is also brilliant. This may be necessary because in the month or so I had the distribution on my hard disk I did several updates. Kubuntu's other area of shame was its handling of removable usb drives (both cameras and memory sticks). I got my system to behave ... but connecting my usb camera to the computer remained a nightmare. I could eventually achieve something ... but pity the poor beginner! On the other hand Debian developers could learn a lot from the Kubuntu installer ... which worked exceedingly well!

Short description: DNS works fine on my Mac OSX boxes because I can add the DNS IPs to the Network Control Panel, but when I loaded Kubuntu, DNS slowed to a crawl. That was because adding them to the Breezy Kubuntu Network Control Panel or /etc/resolv.conf didn't work, and I had to enter the IP numbers into the router configuration file to fix the problem. Long description: I have a DSL line which I lease through Earthlink, and a Netopia DSL Modem hooked up via ethernet cable to an Airport Extreme wireless router. I'm glad the router has an open ethernet port because my airport (wireless-Broadcom) card isn't recognized by Breezy.. :< The computer is connected by ethernet cable to the wireless router. I have a couple of Macs which have been accessing the internet for years with this setup with no problem. The problem came when I installed Kubuntu Breezy on an extra powerbook. On this machine, DNS lookups happened, but they were very slow, and that slowed everything down, from mail with Kontact to internet browsing with Konqueror. I loaded Firefox, and it was slow too. In trying to solve this problem I first connected my computer directly to the internet with a crossover cable, bypassing the router. DNS look up and browsing speeds returned to normal. Hooking the computer back up to the router with a straight-through cable slowed DNS down again. NAT portmapping protocol is available only to computers using Mac OSX 10.4, and one of mine is still running 10.3, so NAT is not enabled on the wireless router. I tried to set the standard earthlink DNS IPs in /etc/resolv.conf and in the "System Settings:Network Settings" gui, but I found out these have no effect on browsing speed. In fact, these settings get reset every time the computer is rebooted. Rude. Throughout all this, pinging google.com has been pretty fast, and remained the same no matter what the setup was. Finally I went into the Internet panel of the Airport Base Station and entered the Earthlink DNS IPs there. That solved the problem. The Macs had been able to pass DNS queries to the Earthlink server because I had entered the IP numbers in the Mac OSX Network:Airport:TCP/IP control panel. Entering the same information in the corresponding Kubuntu control panel or in /etc/resolv.conf didn't work. So there is the solution to my problem, and I hope it may help some other Mac-Kubuntu converts too.

Yes Art, thats true. The import of Gnucash files is a pretty new thing in Kmymoney. On this page http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4708#files you find a kubuntu-deb-file of the 0.7.5-version of Kmymoney. This version supports the Gnucash-Import (I did make the import with this version under hoary ...). Unfortunately there are no (k)ubuntu-debs of the 0.8.1-relase .... Just download the file and install it with dpkg -i [filename] and you can start to work with Kmymoney. So good luck again.

Probably, packaging is still be worked on http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=1154 Keep an eye on dapper-changes and ask backports for it to be included when it's in.

The password you use for sudo (your user password) will not work for SWAT. To enable the root password, you would need to: $ sudo su # passwd This might be what is causing you trouble rather than any odd characters.

FYI, since Dapper doesn't have an installable candidate (I had to remove kmymoney2 to allow the rest of KDE to upgrade to kdelibs4c2a) I finally successfully installed kmymoney2 0.8.1-2+b1 from debian/sid onto my otherwise dapper system.

Some motherboards will automatically disable the on-board video when a video card is plugged into an AGP or PCI slot. If your motherboard does that, you can't do dual head using the on-board video. Below is a link in the wiki on doing dual head on a Thinkpad R52, but it has the configuration stuff that should work. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/ThinkpadR52/Multihead?highlight=%28multihead%29 I haven't done dual head with two monitors, but I do use dual head with the TV out on my Nvidia card and this looks similar to my configuration but adjusted for two monitors.

Hi John, On my lappy, I had to do this: 1. Open Control Center (run "kcontrol") 2. Expand the "Power Control" branch and select "Laptop Battery". 3. On the "Battery" tab, select "Show battery monitor" 4. Click "Apply". You should see a battery status icon in the system tray :) While you're in the power/battery config, have a look at the other tabs for ACPI setup and low battery notifications etc. FWIW, I can't use Standby or Hibernate on my HP nc6230 as the ATi video driver barfs and leaves me with a blank screen both in X/KDE and on the console (The binary "fglrx" driver, not the GPL'ed "ati" driver that is) .

Not sure what it did, but I've had it working ever since. Second, try upgrading the fglrx driver. The 8.18 and higer series of drivers corrected the hibernate/standby garble that you mention.

No. You must compile the kernel module with the same compiler as the kernel. The solution isn't as ugly as you might think though: 1. sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 gcc-3.4-base 2. export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4 ; sudo path/to/nvidia-installer Voila! Having more than one compiler on your system isn't a bad thing, and installing gcc-3.4 wont screw up your base system because the default compiler will still be the standard gcc-4 :) HTH, James -- You may be right, I may be crazy, But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for! -- Billy Joel -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I am posting this not only to the Ubuntu Art team mailing list but also to the Kubuntu guys. I was not sure whether a Xubuntu users or art list exists (I googled with no luck), so this is it. The topic of an Art meeting to discuss various issues (see the agenda) has been on the tabletop for a while now. Several have been organised, but sadly they all seemed to fall through somehow. Agenda ===== * Fix up the out-dated wiki. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTodoProposal in regards to this. * Artwork (official for Dapper): - GDM theme - Usplash - GNOME and KDE splash - KDM theme - wallpapers/backgrounds - icons (!!!) - GTK theme - Metacity theme - KDE colour scheme - KDE window decorations - KDE theme/style * Artwork package for universe. This was put forward as an idea during that night before the Breezy Artwork deadline while a bunch of us were in IRC. Oliver Grawert (ogra) has given the ok for this suggestion. This would be a general Ubuntu artwork package with Ubuntu (thus GNOME) themed artwork utilising the official colour palette. For contents, think GDM themes, backgroundsm splash metacity and gtk themes and so forth * Calendar wallpapers/backgrounds. We really need to decide on at least a theme by the end of the year so those interested can go about producing these calendar images. * Ubuntu/Kubuntu app artwork: - Firefox/Thunderbird themes. eg. there is a Plastik Firefox theme. - Mplayer theme! This was suggested to us from the MOTU media guys! http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2005-December/000511.html - XMMS/BMP skins - GAIM Guifications themes, for example: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1175917&group_id=92888&atid=676821 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=676821&group_id=92888&func=browse There is a lot more to discuss. Please see either http://www.evtek.fi/~jirig/artwork-todo http://wombat.nuxified.com/artwork-todo for a full list (thanks Jiri Grönroos (artnay)). As you can see there is a huge amount to discuss and make decisions about. We need to get organised and underway for 2006 and for Dapper. Therefore, in light of what was briefly mentioned above, what was discussed on the IRC channels and what is outlined in that large list by Jiri, I propose a General Art Meeting to be held still before the end of the year, in December so we can all get on track and know what to do. The meeting be open of course to anyone, and it would be nice to see some of the Kubuntu people there as well. Kubuntu does not have an official art mailing list nor an art team for that matter but I am sure that there are a fair few of you guys with the art gene in you. :) We need to get a date and time organised as soon as possible. This weekend will no doubt be taken up by Christmas celebrations so the next best time would be either directly after, during the week (the majority of you ought to still be in holiday time by then). The weekend that directly follow Christmas only gives us the Saturday (Sunday is already the 1st). I suspect many of you will be busy on the Saturday, so during the week sounds best for now. Thus the proposed dates: Tuesday, 27th Wednesday, 28th Thursday, 29th Friday, 30th Jeff, could you, once we've finalised the time and date, list the meeting on the Fridge (fridge.ubuntu.com) for us? It would be grand. Alrighty then, get to it and let's make this happen.

If so, are your disks connected to any kind of RAID controller? If not, then I'm afraid I have no idea how you can fix your problem. That's been my situation it's been quite tricky dealing with it. Linux doesn't like my Promise controller. The drivers available are old and only available for a few distros running the 2.4 kernel. I have two 250 GB SATA Maxtor Maxline Plus II drives connected via a Promise SATA RAID controller on my ASUS A8V Deluxe motherboard. After months of research, queries in public forums (such as this one) & useless calls to technical support. I think I finally found a permanent solution, which involves switching from the Promise to the onboard VIA controller and disabling RAID. I've not yet attempted it, I'm going to pay someone to do it for me in the next few weeks or so. But I was able to get Linux running by disabling RAID on the Promise controller (it's now set to IDE mode). Linux still gets a bit confused by this and Windows flat out won't install without RAID enabled (since the hard drives are attached to the Promise Controller). So for the time being I'm only running Ubuntu (but I want to dual boot). But I digress..... -- Scott www.angrykeyboarder.com © 2005 angrykeyboarder™ & Elmer Fudd.

If you install it, you'll loose all of your Gnome applications (some of which I find quite useful). I would suggest upgrading to Breezy as mentioned above and them installing the package "kubuntu-desktop". That way, you get Kubuntu, but keep all of your Gnome goodies and can even use Gnome in the future if you find KDE not exactly to your liking.

You should be able to install Gnome apps without Gnome though. All the GTK+ libraries and others should come through as dependencies though. IE if you install The Gimp, you would get the Gimp, GTK plus any other libraries that the program needs.

You have 3 runlevels: 0 (shutdown), 3 (default) and 6 (reboot). If you want to have a runlevel that doesnt start X, you can define your own one. If you never want to boot into X (ie, remove X from runlevel 3) you can use rcconf (apt-get install rcconf) from the CLI or use BUM (apt-get install bum) for a nice GUI. I think there also is a KDE thingy (something system-->services I would guess).

Message-ID: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 upgrade to next kubuntu via cd-rom or # apt-get -u dist-upgrade ??? Hello, I'm fairly new to kubuntu. and to apt-get. though not so new to linux, At the moment my p3 multi-boots kubuntu 5.10, mandrake 9.1, 2 fedora core releases ( FC1 & *FC2), DrDos, and for chucks & giggles I can still boot win98se... * I've been meaning to find the time to upgrade the FC2 since FC3 * came out, never mind FC4... Just haven't found the time I recently decided to try ubuntu, and I soon learned that kubuntu was for kde users... In any case I noticed that the installer didn't seam to have an upgrade option. As in if I already had kubuntu 5.4 installed AND had all my favorite applications installed and configured, and with user preferences configured as well... Well it didn't look like I could install 5.10 from the cd without loosing all those configurations. But would rather only be able to install it as a new installation??? (yeah I know, I could use a separate partition for /home, or simply back it up somewhere. But I'd still have to remember which packages to apt-get to get back any of my applications not installed by default...right?) Did I miss something? How did existing hoary users upgrade to breezy without having to reconfigure everything from scratch??? This bothered me until I saw something about apt being able to "upgrade to a new release"... Well Now that I've almost got kubuntu working the way I want it, I've had some time to look at how I'll manage to upgrade when the time comes without having to start over from scratch. I found an apt-get how-to at: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html Which had a section called: 3.5 Upgrading to a new release Which I almost find reassuring. But the command line example they use doesn't seam to specify what release to upgrade to. And I can't see where the text explains that part of it... I mean would I back-up and then figure out how to manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point at the next releases repositories? or does "apt-get -u dist-upgrade" somehow automatically find the latest release of kubuntu??? (in which case does it automatically update /etc/apt/sources.list to point at the new releases repositories instead of the old ones???) Thanks in advance.

While I don't have a clue what the OP wants, I have learned how to boot kubuntu into a non-gui mode. That is I don't get x until I run startx. Also, a quick look at the contents of: /etc/rc0.d /etc/rc1.d /etc/rc2.d /etc/rc3.d /etc/rc4.d /etc/rc5.d /etc/rc6.d /etc/rcS.d shows that more than three runlevels are configured... What ubuntu/kubuntu and I suspect debian, did was to start x at runlevel 2 I don't pretend to understand it but when editing inittab to change the default runlevel from 5 to 3 didn't get rid of the gui login. I posted a plea for help in the ubuntu-users list ... This is the answer I got: => On Mon, 12 Dec 2005 12:58, Joe(theWordy)Philbrook wrote: => > id:3:initdefault: in /etc/inittab doesn't do it????? => > => > So how do I get rid of the gui login screen? => > => > I don't like any gui to come up until and unless I type startx at a => > user prompt... => => If you use kdm: => sudo update-rc.d -f kdm remove => => Replace "kdm" with either "gdm" or "xdm" if you use a different login => manager.

Guess I should have checked for NEW kubuntu messages BEFORE I posted... In a message with the Subject: Re: Hoary -> Breezy upgrade It would appear that on Dec 22, Martin J Hooper did say: > In sources.list replace every occurance of Hoary with Breezy. > > apt-get update > apt-get dist-upgrade > > Should download and upgrade most packages :) > > Worked for me... So I guess that when/if I want to use apt-get to upgrade from breezy to the next one, I just need to know what they call it and substitute it's name for each occurrence of "Breezy" in the sources.list And then apply the two command lines in Martin's post and that's all there is to it?

I am posting this not only to the Ubuntu Art team mailing list but also to the Kubuntu guys. I was not sure whether a Xubuntu users or art list exists (I googled with no luck), so this is it. The topic of an Art meeting to discuss various issues (see the agenda) has been on the tabletop for a while now. Several have been organised, but sadly they all seemed to fall through somehow. ###### Important: We need to get this organised. Please see this page to decide on meeting time! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeamMeetings ###### Agenda ===== * Fix up the out-dated wiki. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTodoProposal in regards to this. * Artwork (official for Dapper): - GDM theme - Usplash - GNOME and KDE splash - KDM theme - wallpapers/backgrounds - icons (!!!) - GTK theme - Metacity theme - KDE colour scheme - KDE window decorations - KDE theme/style * Artwork package for universe. This was put forward as an idea during that night before the Breezy Artwork deadline while a bunch of us were in IRC. Oliver Grawert (ogra) has given the ok for this suggestion. This would be a general Ubuntu artwork package with Ubuntu (thus GNOME) themed artwork utilising the official colour palette. For contents, think GDM themes, backgroundsm splash metacity and gtk themes and so forth * Calendar wallpapers/backgrounds. We really need to decide on at least a theme by the end of the year so those interested can go about producing these calendar images. * Ubuntu/Kubuntu app artwork: - Firefox/Thunderbird themes. eg. there is a Plastik Firefox theme. - Mplayer theme! This was suggested to us from the MOTU media guys! http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2005-December/000511.html - XMMS/BMP skins - GAIM Guifications themes, for example: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1175917&group_id=92888&atid=676821 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=676821&group_id=92888&func=browse There is a lot more to discuss. Please see either http://www.evtek.fi/~jirig/artwork-todo http://wombat.nuxified.com/artwork-todo for a full list (thanks Jiri Grönroos (artnay)). As you can see there is a huge amount to discuss and make decisions about. We need to get organised and underway for 2006 and for Dapper. Therefore, in light of what was briefly mentioned above, what was discussed on the IRC channels and what is outlined in that large list by Jiri, I propose a General Art Meeting to be held still before the end of the year, in December so we can all get on track and know what to do. The meeting be open of course to anyone, and it would be nice to see some of the Kubuntu people there as well. Kubuntu does not have an official art mailing list nor an art team for that matter but I am sure that there are a fair few of you guys with the art gene in you. :) We need to get a date and time organised as soon as possible. This weekend will no doubt be taken up by Christmas celebrations so the next best time would be either directly after, during the week (the majority of you ought to still be in holiday time by then). The weekend that directly follow Christmas only gives us the Saturday (Sunday is already the 1st). I suspect many of you will be busy on the Saturday, so during the week sounds best for now. Now! To vote on the proposed dates, please see the page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeamMeetings Alrighty then, get to it and let's make this happen. Kind regards, Pascal Klein PS. 1. It seems we had some problems with this email. I'm sending it again. 2. I've send a copy of this to Jeff Waugh who will kindly post this on fridge.ubuntu.com as a meeting event once we've decided on the time. From jtwdyp at ttlc.net Sun Dec 25 16:48:30 2005 From: jtwdyp at ttlc.net (Joe(theWordy)Philbrook) Date: Sun, 25 Dec 2005 11:48:30 -0500 Subject: SpeedCrunch: nice, but about the invocation and docs?? Message-ID: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 SpeedCrunch: nice, but about the invocation and docs?? I do have occasional use for a desktop calculator. My first inclination is to see if I can find the $15usd scientific calculator that should be, but almost never actually is, on my desk... I don't usually need a scientific but I like to be able to see and edit the whole "equation". Or modify one of the terms in a previous equation. Which is something I never could get kcalc to do. But since my real calculator is again among the missing I typed $ kcalc & in the konsole window I was using on this kubuntu 5.10 system. Since kubuntu IS the kde version I was surprised to see "bash: kcalc: command not found". So I poked around the menu system until I found the entry labeled: "Calculator (SpeedCrunch)" which turned out to be a very keyboard oriented calculator that quickly impressed me so much I doubt I'll ever want to settle for kcalc again. But knowing that I'm much more likely to fire up an familiar kde tool from the bash prompt in a konsole window than to bother with the menu system or even the "run prompt" I made a note of the "(SpeedCrunch)" portion which I thought was supposed to be the executable name. yet the next time I wanted it: $ speedcrunch bash: speedcrunch: command not found $ SpeedCrunch bash: SpeedCrunch: command not found A quick look at the menu system confirmed the "(SpeedCrunch)" part, so in desperation I tried "Alt-f2 SpeedCrunch" And almost didn't hit enter because the little icon didn't change to even the generic executable icon. Fortunately I hit enter anyway. And, from the run prompt, it worked. As did "Alt-f2 speedcrunch" all I could find in help was a pointer to the man pages which didn't tell me much more than the alternate name "crunch" which DID work from the bash prompt, and did change the icon in the run prompt box. (If the real executable is "/usr/bin/crunch" shouldn't the menu system render the entry "Calculator (SpeedCrunch)" as "Calculator (crunch)" ???? Since there wasn't much info on how to use crunch in the man page. Nor did I find much on it's actual use when I did a google search for it. Though I did learn where it's config file was. Though I don't see any thing in there to indicate a way to save it's window size so that I won't need to resize the durned thing every time I call it. I don't want full screen, But I'd like it to default to about three times it's window width so that fairly long equations display without scrolling. Anybody got a hint on that? As far as the actual use goes though, I guess I'll just have to remember the correct longhand mathematical syntax for the assorted functions I expect to use it for. (wonder what I did with the old textbooks anyway...) ############################################################# ##_if_you'd_prefer_an_clearsigned_".asc"_text_file_of_this_## ##message_as_an_mime_encoded_attachment,just_ask_me_while__## ##it's_STILL_IN_my_outbox_folder_._._._=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+;-)_## #gpg sig for: Joe (theWordy) Philbrook DSA key ID 0x6C2163DE# # You can find my public gpg key at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu/ # ############################################################# -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDrsw2RZ/61mwhY94RAqNhAJ412Ssvr5SW4S2w46pPKvI+kxO2xwCbB691 X0/etTCOyeJxLLSJLoFBRTg= =wF5L -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- | ~^~ ~^~ | Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | \___/ <> From sean.sweng at gmail.com Sun Dec 25 19:22:12 2005 From: sean.sweng at gmail.com (Sean Kelley) Date: Sun, 25 Dec 2005 13:22:12 -0600 Subject: flash not working with Konqueror Message-ID: <43507b7c0512251122q5050924bx267eed8b650586ef@mail.gmail.com> I've tried three different things to get flash to work with konqueror: 1) install flashplugin-nonfree 2) install flashplayer-mozilla 3) install by hand the flash plugins from Macromedia None of those three result in working flash with Konqueror.

I have tried a handful of different distros and several window managers including Gnome, KDE & Xfce. I continue to come back to KDE though, as my preferred desktop but I have fallen in love with some of the programs available in Gnome I frankly, can't live without them. Several other posts have described the solution as installing Ubuntu and then apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. However, when I have Ubuntu installed it tells me it can't find that package. When I try it other way around (installing Kubuntu first), I get the same message. I have also tried to install through the Synaptic Package Manager and Adept but neither did the trick. Something else I noticed that seemed odd is that Adept (in Kubuntu) gives me a very small selection of programs even after updating and reloading. It doesn't even show basic programs such as Xmms. Just for kicks I decided to run the live Kubuntu CD and found it to have all the packages I long for. I thought at first that perhaps I just had a bad install so I double checked the MD5 sum and reinstalled but that didn't seem to help. Out of desperation I also downloaded the Kubuntu DVD but have not had the chance to install it yet. I apologise for the lengthy post but any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. -- Dave Sterken -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Sounds like you need to enable the multiverse and universe repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list When you have done that do the following to read the details of those repos.. sudo apt-get update Then Adept should see all the extra software.

(wonder what I did with the old textbooks > anyway...) The command to invoke speedcrunch is called "crunch". There is no 100% sure way to figure out the name of the launching command if the author didn't provide adequate help, but the following commands usually turn something up. Assume $PACKAGE is the name of the package you installed: $ dpkg -L $PACKAGE | grep /bin $ dpkg -L $PACKAGE | grep /games You will probably get several file and folder names back as a result. One of the file names is likely to be the correct command. Carl W.

The basic syntax is: $ PACKAGE=speedcrunch $ dpkg -L "$PACKAGE" | xargs -n 1 | { while read FNAME; do if [ ! -d "$FNAME" ]; then if [ -x "$FNAME" ]; then echo "$FNAME"; fi; fi; done; } If you save that in a script in your path somewhere, it could be useful for finding executable names.

Why should he have to?  Why do the packages for Debian and Ubuntu in particular leave these out?  It causes me no end of grief to try to upgrade any debian box because the "recommended" drivers, which happen to be the ONLY ones that work with Epson Printers, are not included with the package that explicitly bears there name!  In the effort to move to some other gutenprint or whatever style of printing they have decided to kill off Epson printing.   I have a Stylus Color 740 which prints perfectly in SuSE, but not at all with Debian (without major surgery). Forgive my rant, but maybe someone who knows how could fix this horrible mess, and include the foomatic "recommended" printer definitions back in the package that bears its name, and let the users decide which works better for them! -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!

We're seeing the same problems on Kubuntu now that I have seen in Debian Sid, and have evidently never been fixed. Solution: Manually run the local-gen. It will generate all the locales for your system someone may want to clarify and especially correct, but, if you edit /etc/locale.gen first you can remark out the locales you do NOT want generated when you run this command. You may want to check this file out before you run the locale-gen command. However, that is the problem the locales are not properly generated for the newer version of the distro. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!

Once I did an 'apt-get remove gnucash', the dist-upgrade resumed after the removal of gnucash and (just about) everything completed successfully. perl/locale stopped complaining. As this is an Ubuntu Warty system upgraded via apt to hoary, and Kubuntu-desktop to Kubuntu-hoary, I had to manually upgrade/reinstall Kubuntu-desktop via 'apt-get install Kubuntu-desktop'. A few minor things still need cleanup (kaffiene-xine did not automatically install, for example) the rest seems to have gone fine. This was not a clean, easy upgrade, certainly not as smooth as warty->hoary. I intentionally waited for the bugs to work out as this is a production machine, but apparently not long enough. I have a hard time accepting that dapper is in the works before major problems with breezy remain. Perhaps the 6 month upgrade goal should be reconsidered. -- _______________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

This is interesting because the error reported is about locales, and I've seen this myself, and the only thing that would fix it is running the locale-gen.

"Tux" mentioned this in the article they recently did on ubuntu. It might make life simpler when upgrading to have only the supported repositories enabled until after upgrading. When doing the inintial upgrade here I enabled only the cd. This broke several unsupported packages from my hoary installation Adding the repositories AFTER fixed everything up. However the six month cycle is REALLY a boon for us remote enough to have to depend on dialup. Even with using the distribution CD for upgrade it was STILL several hours of dialup to get everything on my system up to current breezy versions. This was with a completely "up to date" hoary system.

I use "eject -s /dev/ipod" where ipod is a symlink to sda2. eject used to work reliably, but for some months, it only works once or twice after a reboot. When it doesn't work, I sometimes try again; then, eject usually tells me "unable to open /dev/sda2" and after it's told me that once, it always give the same error. Now, when eject fails, I just pull the cable after unmounting it and waiting at least a minute. I also wait at about a minute after attaching it to the computer before starting gtkpod (which I've configured to mount and unmount it). When I wait, it never tells me it can't find its databases.

When it encountered the defective gnucash library, it stopped further package installations. Once the dependency for that library was removed by removing gnucash, the rest of the dist-upgrade was allowed to resume. As it resumed, it eventually configured the package that runs locale-gen, or some equivalent. -- _______________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

My only wish was that it was a smoother transition. First I un-commented all the repositories in /ect/apt/sources.list as you suggested, then I ran sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. Everything went off without a hitch thus far. Once the process finished it was apparent that KDE broke more than half of my Gnome applications. I ran sudo apt-get update again but it timed out at 99% on the last update ("can't stat source" error message). I decided to try it in Synaptic and found the same problem. Out of frustration I tried the update in Adept and it was successful (I have no idea why though). Unfortunately it appears that apt-get, Synaptic and Adept are competing with one another at first. After the update completed I went back into Synaptic and uninstalled Adept. I used the "fix broken packages" option and found it fixed most of my problems. Now that I have manually uninstalled the packages I don't want and re-installed the ones I do, everything is hunky dory again in the land of the Penguin. I'm not sure if the problems I encountered were common or if they were unique to me but I thought I would document the process I went through (above) in hopes that it will help anyone else experiencing similar problems.

Neither package is still available, and the replacement Ubuntu packages don't satisfy kflickr's needs. Attempting to install the debian versions of both packages gives conflicts with existing installed packages.

Message-ID: <8e6b77450512310725n1214451aqfb30e36718335481@mail.gmail.com> hi, I installed breezy with kubuntu kde 3.5 (from network, on a "normal" ubuntu) and I could not find the kde api docs. Itlooks like they are supposed to be in the kdelibs4-docs package but that's empty except the changelog. If I select the kde-3.4.3 version with synaptic it shows a 29 MB download, 250 MB installed package so clearly there seems to be something missing. I'd like not to pin-install the old versions' docs but rather have a current one :-) Otherwise I'm quite happy with kubuntu, btw, being a long-time suse user before. thanks, thomas From nclife at gmail.com Sat Dec 31 21:10:27 2005 From: nclife at gmail.com (NatureCyber Life) Date: Sat, 31 Dec 2005 15:10:27 -0600 Subject: ipod ejecting problem In-Reply-To: <1693801.nl0Ftq1nAm@knode.kde> References: <520f3ee20512192018m303ba19w12a1b91832ca8c12@mail.gmail.com> <520f3ee20512291231k6e843195ja5bf361c9ec8a189@mail.gmail.com> <1693801.nl0Ftq1nAm@knode.kde> Message-ID: <520f3ee20512311310r5d49e29cmc81e07981d96a64c@mail.gmail.com> i tried with the "sudo eject -s /dev/ipod" command and it told me there was no such file, then i tried with "sudo eject -s /dev/sda2" and it told me "/dev/sda2: cannot execute binary file". i dont know what a symlink is, maybe im making a mistake? Well, ive tried with many different ways to remove my ipod safely and all i get is "unable to open `/dev/sda'". I also waited more than a minute before opening the gtkpod and i kept getting the warning message about not finding the itunes database. No matter what i try I cant figure out the way to get rid of the "do not disconnect" message and im getting desperate, i hope someone knows why all this problems happen and a nice way to go around them.
