Since I'm subscribing to a couple of mailinglists (such as this one) I've made some mailfilters to separate these mails from others.

Well, this is exactly what I needed... Thanks! Also since I'm using a PowerBook it's probably a good idea, so that all the mails stay with me on the road. One strange thing though is that one is unable to change an account from IMAP to Disconnected IMAP... so deleting and creating a new account is the only way... kind of clumsy... :-) But let's not complain...

The files you're looking for are in /usr/share/apps/konqueror/about: launch.html is the about:konqueror page. Depending on the feature you want to add you might try to modify it and restart konqueror, but modifying about:konqueror is certainly not the easiest thing to do. cheers Tobi Vollebregt From homer.azari at gmail.com Thu Nov 3 17:06:05 2005 From: homer.azari at gmail.com (Homer Azari) Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2005 11:06:05 -0600 Subject: Kubuntu hangs on hotplug subsystem startup Message-ID: <67deb2350511030906y5db314c8j72d0402036eda636@mail.gmail.com> Hi, I don't know any programming so i would need detailed help.

I think it might not get read and in the end merely reflect my opinion as a Kubuntu user. Anyway I still like to make a short call and ask everybody working on Kubuntu's desktop elements to consider every change to KDE's default settings dearly, to be sure the improvement on one end will not be a disadvantage on another end. To me and some I know this already happened with what was changes with Konqueror for breezy (and partly hoary). Web-surfing was improved while the (to me) much more important file management suffered badly. If you value user input on some of the changes I'd be glad to give feedback on any change you are making for dapper. Don't get me wrong 80% of the ideas in the wikis are really great stuff - just some things might break Kubuntu for me - that's where my concern comes from.

It was the 1st time i had tried a linux os. After a failed upgrade to breezy i decided to give ubuntu a try. I´ve been using it for a few days and my impresion is that so far it works better than kubuntu. Wifi worked almost out of the box. I copied the firmware in the hotplug directories and configured it. Next time i rebooted wifi was working. In kubuntu i have to sudo iwconfig wlan0 and add the channel, wep key and then sudo route add default gw (there is a script to solve that issue though). I could also configured anything i wanted through the GUI while in kubuntu the administrator button doesnt work most of the times so i had to sudo kcontrol. But sincerely, after a few days i have come back to kubuntu because i do like better kde programs. I like kopete and kmail and i love the fact that konqueror could do almost anything, from surfing the web to check out samba shared folders, open pdf, etc. And then there is the eye-candy factor, gnome is plain ugly, almost like going back to win95 (i now you can change themes and stuff, but i´m talking about fresh instalations).

Yes some things in Kubuntu don't seem to be working properly, yet. Since I too like the KDE application suite more I also thought I'd use those applications through Kubuntu (even though it'd be possible through Ubuntu too). When it comes to the default looks I think both Ubuntu and Kubuntu could look better, but that's easily changed for both of them. The worst showstopper for Kubuntu right now seems to be the poorly working settings (in Breezy). (And maybe the fact that CD:s don't open in Konqueror.) As a temporary solution I just downloaded gnome-system-tools to get properly working configuration tools that way. But you'll have to edit the menu a little bit to get them working properly. (Just remove the gksudo before each command and enable run as different user, and maybe remove duplicates.) I think Kubuntu has potential, but it needs to get a bunch of bugs fixed. Fortunately Hoary has much less bugs than Breezy for now, and not much less functionality... so for somebody unpatient about having the bugs in Breezy fixed it could be a good choice. But there are two bugs which I've found both in Hoary and in Breezy on the PowerPC version. One is that image smoothing screws up the thumbnail and smaller than normal size views of images. In Gwenview one can set the image smoothing to Normal, Best or None instad of the default Fast to make it alright. But I haven't figured out how to do that change in Konqueror. Another problem which I'm not sure wether it's PowerPC specific or not is that one seems to be unable of saving changes to the default gateway through the network settings. The fact that these bugs are found in both versions make me a bit worried about wether they're ever going to be fixed. cheers, Simon On Saturday 05 November 2005 13:49, Xurxo Fernandez wrote: > Hi, > I´ve been using kubuntu for a couple of months.

I've got nothing but opinions to share... ;-) But for Kubuntu and KDE in general a problem is that people get put of by it's M$ Windowish look. In fact I think that KDE is more innovative and less conservative than ie. Gnome. Therefore it having Windowish looks and blue colors (which symbolizes conservatism according to color psychology) may not contribute to the most appropriate image. Personally I'm using a theme which I made out of the default theme: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=28190 In the theme the default icons are used but colored green. I've found that coloring icons for anything but the 'active' hovering effect isn't always a good idea. So instead I downloaded another slightly less blueish (than Crystal SVG) iconset, namely Crystal Clear by the same author. But hey, this is just how I like it. ;-) Anyways, less Windows-like and maybe less blueish could be a good thing. When it comes to Ubuntu I dislike the window style and maybe the icons a little bit. I prefer using Clearlooks for the Window borders with the Human Controls, and just some other icons than the default GNOME ones maybe Human or Sandy. > > The worst showstopper for Kubuntu right now seems to be the poorly > > working settings (in Breezy).

Oh, thanks for the hint... I hadn't noticed the updates. ;-) Is there any kind of update notification thing for Kubuntu as there is by default in Ubuntu?

Hmmm... I'm not so sure about this... I'm using Kubuntu Breezy for PowerPC and just updated to get the latest bugfixes. When inserting a CD or DVD I get different results depending on which one I insert. Some mount properly, but opens several times in Konqueror... Some don't mount and open several "An error occurred while loading media:/hdc: The file or folder media:/hdc does not exist."-tabs. Some do that and adittionaly give repeated KDE Crash report windows until I log out.

Yeah... frustrating huh? :-) The good news is that the old Control panel is still present. Choose "Run command..." and type in kcontrol and hit enter. Hope they make sure the new control panels has everything that the old one had soon... cause it's otherwise kinda neat and it's a pity having to use kcontrol. ;-) > If I click on the file, I get an application launch icon in my > taskbar, but nothing happens. > > Any clues? I feel I'm missing something really obvious! Not really... you've just discovered a bug, or let's say a missing feature. BTW. You can also add themes by rightklicking them and choosing to add them from the menu... But you'll have to activate them from kcontrol anyways... cheers, Simon PS. Glad you liked the theme...

Well... this probably holds true for Kubuntu... But with KDE in general I think people are put off by the Windows-like looks. I was too, but just figured I could look beyond that and change the theme. ;-) > > Personally I'm using a theme which I made out of the default theme: > > http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=28190 > > In the theme the default icons are used but colored green.

I actually also figured that it's a bit hard to make KDE look completely different from the original blue and white... all seems kind of designed according to that. cheers, Simon From drolyk at gmail.com Sun Nov 6 14:36:11 2005 From: drolyk at gmail.com (Makurin Roman) Date: Sun, 6 Nov 2005 17:36:11 +0300 Subject: [kubuntu-users] Some troubles with kubuntu In-Reply-To: <20051105194030.GE25335@muse.19inch.net> References: <200511052137.15772.drolyk@gmail.com> <20051105194030.GE25335@muse.19inch.net> Message-ID: <200511061736.11444.drolyk@gmail.com> В сообщении от Суббота 05 ноября 2005 22:40 вы написали: > On Sat, Nov 05, 2005 at 09:37:15PM +0300, Makurin Roman wrote: > > 1) "administrator mode" in kcontrol doen`t work, It askes my a pass, > > then shows me loading screen and goes to the kcontrol index page > > Recently fixed in breezy-updates. > > > 2) usplash breaks my fonts in text-mode(console without X).

No I don`t know, but I think there is no difference ubuntu or kubuntu. I think it is usplash isuue. If I disable usplash I can type russian chars in console (boot->KDM->login to KDE->Ctrl+Alt+F1).

Leaving aside the M$ look, I must add that for consistency with the rest of Ubuntu, it would be nice to have a "human" theme for kubuntu. I think it is rather important to be consistent with the "other half" of the distro. Not that I like that much the human colors - too brown/dark for me - , but I use the color scheme called "desert red" and I have been using it since kde 3.something. It is warmer than the blueish and/or greenish color schemes and lighter than "human". As for the icons, I use the nuvola set.

I think Gnome is rather more traditional by it's functionality, and would maybe be even Windows-like users if one would just re-arrange the menus (which is really easy) and make the theme more Windows-like. When it comes to actual functionality I think that KDE is more different and progressive. It actually kind of approaches Jacob Nielsen's idea of the future of the web. (I don't otherwise like the guy, but I refer to 'em anyways ;-) In a nutshell his idea is that the web and ordinary software will merge. With Konqueror as a remote and local filemanager as well as a web browser this vision is getting one step closer. > > When it comes to Ubuntu I dislike the window style and maybe the icons a > > little bit.

How'd you > like to write up a nice how-to with screen shots? :-) Well, when it comes to Ubuntu I haven't spent so much time with it... I just combined elements in between the default themes. So everything was done through the point and click environment using the customize theme button. This anybody should be able to do just by pointing and clicking... When it comes to KDE again I've played around a bit more, but still just using installed themes and point and clicking... The theme I referred to was a result of this, so that should be enough by itself, without any further instructions. Besides, all these things are just according to my personal taste... other may like it in a different way. > >> > The worst showstopper for Kubuntu right now seems to be the poorly > >> > working settings (in Breezy).

Indeed... Actually I even thing that the system should ask the user wether it he wants the extra repositories enabled explaining what that means, that is why one would want to have them or not have them enabled. I think most people want to have all of the repositories enabled, and yet many newbies may not know about them. > >> Automounting is fixed with the updates in breezy-updates. > > > > Oh, thanks for the hint...

Yes some things in Kubuntu don't seem to be working properly, yet. Since I too like the KDE application suite more I also thought I'd use those applications through Kubuntu (even though it'd be possible through Ubuntu too). When it comes to the default looks I think both Ubuntu and Kubuntu could look better, but that's easily changed for both of them. The worst showstopper for Kubuntu right now seems to be the poorly working settings (in Breezy). (And maybe the fact that CD:s don't open in Konqueror.) As a temporary solution I just downloaded gnome-system-tools to get properly working configuration tools that way. But you'll have to edit the menu a little bit to get them working properly. (Just remove the gksudo before each command and enable run as different user, and maybe remove duplicates.) I think Kubuntu has potential, but it needs to get a bunch of bugs fixed. Fortunately Hoary has much less bugs than Breezy for now, and not much less functionality... so for somebody unpatient about having the bugs in Breezy fixed it could be a good choice. But there are two bugs which I've found both in Hoary and in Breezy on the PowerPC version. One is that image smoothing screws up the thumbnail and smaller than normal size views of images. In Gwenview one can set the image smoothing to Normal, Best or None instad of the default Fast to make it alright. But I haven't figured out how to do that change in Konqueror. Another problem which I'm not sure wether it's PowerPC specific or not is that one seems to be unable of saving changes to the default gateway through the network settings. The fact that these bugs are found in both versions make me a bit worried about wether they're ever going to be fixed. cheers, Simon On Saturday 05 November 2005 13:49, Xurxo Fernandez wrote: > Hi, > I´ve been using kubuntu for a couple of months.

As I said earlier, I think that KDE has a Windows-like default look... while as Gnome actually is more traditional and therefore closer to ie. Windows, at least if one rearranges the menus a bit. My whole point was that the windows-like looks of KDE communicate the wrong message, just because it actually is more different. So many people get the wrong idea from the looks. BTW. One is able to change the settings so that one doesn't have to double-click in Gnome. But that doesn't count in case we're talking about default behavior... ;-) cheers, Simon On Monday 07 November 2005 23:03, Xurxo Fernandez wrote: > I dont agree with the M$ish look... ok, we might be using blue color, but > overall i feel gnome behaving more like windows.

It has a wide screen display. I had a presentation next week and I was checking how my laptop works when connected to a Projector. I get the display from the projector as soon as I connect the cable, but the problem is, around one inch of my left side of the screen gets cut and only the rest is showed. In effect the projector output cuts my wide screen. To confirm this I also tried connecting the output to a CRT monitor. The result is the same. Has other wide screen laptop users come across a problem like this. I have Kubuntu Hoary installed on my laptop.

So far been using (or rather trying to use) Xnee (X recorder/replayer). Pathetic though, documentation is almost non existant for the important parts and generally very! Out of date (mailing list is on the death bed as well). My other approach was to use Xscope (sort of like ethereal for X11) to monitor X events and see whats going back and forwards and eventually capture only the events (and app. data) I need. Again no luck, it apears that it was made for Solaris and doesnt even compile on Linux (FC3, but will need it to build on cygwin as well). So, does anyone know of any simular open source software that can be used for GUI end-to-end testing (not unit testing)? Perhaps help/guide me through installing Xscope on Linux.

Yes, that's exactly what I did. Permissions were correctly set, so maybe there was an error in the "empty trash" command. What I find unusual is that no error is reported...

Bugs in what? Perhaps something to do with your caps-lock key? I _do_ know what he's talking about, but he doesn't seem very interested in getting help... 1) Quote. It really helps people to understand you. 2) Post URLS. Nobody really wants to search for the bugs. If you have the number, you _must_ have either been sent a link or been ON that page - cut & paste. We don't even know which bug database (it's different for ubuntu-supported packages (main/restricted) and MOTU-supported packages). So, the first one is http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18972 As far as I can see from the bug report, you ARE the only person who's encountered the problem. Yes, you said one other person has, but why hasn't _he_ posted his problems? In any case, if you are reporting a bug (thank you - it IS important to post bugs), you need to report it against a specific package. It is not Ubuntu's fault if Runtime Revolution can't play an AIF. Since it can play it, but at the wrong speed, the problem should be reported against Runtime Revolution, However, this doesn't even seem to be a Ubuntu package, so how can Ubuntu developers (or even MOTU) fix it? I think, you've reported the problem to the wrong place. On top of that, you've also reported that it's a problem for rhythmbox. You need to report that as a "wishlist" item against the rhythmbox package. The developer may, or may not, choose to add support for AIF files. Your second bug is http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19378. Clearly, yours will - if somebody takes the time to look at it - be closed as a duplicate of 7159. Since it's deemed an "upstream" problem, there's little likelihood of it being fixed by Ubuntu developers. However, I don't know how much attention is paid to poorly described bugs against "UNKNOWN" packages. fwiw, k3b copies audio CDs to WAV files and converts to (at least) OGG and MP3 without trouble, so, no, "WAV files are [not] a huge problem". There are no doubt any number of other fine ways to handle them - and probably at least one good solution to your AIF problems. Finally, we really do love to help here. If you'd started this by saying that "Runtime Revolution plays AIF files at double speed: has anyone had success playing AIF files from another application?" and "how can I copy WAV files from an audio CD?" you'd have got all the help you needed. -- derek From damien.brennan at hp.com Thu Nov 10 16:17:03 2005 From: damien.brennan at hp.com (Brennan, Damien) Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2005 16:17:03 -0000 Subject: No sound / dvd playback on my machine Message-ID: Hi Im looking for some help, I installed the latest version of Kubuntu (looks very nice, runs very well!) .

I recently used gtk-theme-switch2 and changed the theme to qt, I then noticed that gaim had the same affect in my buddies list. I went back to Amarok and this was still the case, but when I changed the theme from "current kde theme" in Amarok to "funky" or whatever it is, the play list looks fine! I changed the theme using gtk-theme-switch2 to geramik and gaim is alright but I still have to have Amarok on the alternative theme. Does anyone have any idea why the qt theme would be causing the black lines? Thanks, Lionel.

I told him months ago about a great distro called Kubuntu that I was going to test. so I did all the testing to my heart's content when I decided to move from FC2 -> Hoary. Then a few days later, Breezy came out. So the upgrade really improved its disposition. The checklist I had for doing the full upgrade had been met and did the migration. He said the only way he'd move from his stable FC2 was if my install and implementation of software ran flawlessly. The weekend before last, he came over to my house to install Kubuntu. We could've done it at his house, but he has no broadband yet, while I do. The first snag was the NIC. It couldn't detect the internet (though FC2 and Mepis could. We tested them to see if it was the hardware). We tried a multitude of things to no luck. I couldn't get the NIC or the spare to work in Kubuntu yet they worked in two other distros just fine. So, we left it at that and decided to just update the packages slowly via modem. Now, I got all the proper settings done in KPPP. But the software hangs at "initializing" and won't even try to dial out. I didn't see inetd daemon running on the list, or was it listed period. And PPP and PPP-dns weren't running. His modem is hardware based and purchased specifically to run in Linux since he's really trying hard to go with OSS permanently. I'd really like to see his box online but I don't want him running a RPM based distro or one with a shabby interface. Kubuntu is the chosen distro here. Any hints? So far we know the following: - Both NICS work (fedora and mepis) - Modem works in both M$ and Fedora - Stops at the 'initializing modem' part. - Hardware modem - Hardware is in the PCI listing (brand name included) - Installed Kubuntu a number of times So, any help would be appreciated.

Yes - just use sudo - see above reply. It is far more secure, if a little less convenient. If you run an application using sudo (say 'sudo kcontrol') you will be asked for *your* password. You will then be using kcontrol with full privileges. It will also store (by default - can be changed) you session as sudo for 15mins, so you wont have to keep typing your password if using the shell continuously. The first user that gets created on the OS (you) at install, has full admin privileges when using sudo. To stay logged in as sudo type (essentially the same as using su) sudo -s This way your history and other information are stored in you account. Remember to log out of it again (CTRL + D) It is possible to create a password for su, but why would you want to do that. su is a limited account (as far as I am aware) which will struggle to run some X applications. > > Thanks > Gary. -- Steve Turnbull Digital Content Developer YHGfL Foundation e steve.turnbull at yhgfl.net t 01724 275 030 From mirjam.waeckerlin at gmail.com Sat Nov 12 12:18:36 2005 From: mirjam.waeckerlin at gmail.com (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Mirjam_W=E4ckerlin?=) Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2005 13:18:36 +0100 Subject: Superkaramba + liquidweather In-Reply-To: <200511051335.46035.werner@erselina.nl> References: <200511051335.46035.werner@erselina.nl> Message-ID: <2afa92000511120418u421a3c4g6e7c134e1d47b088@mail.gmail.com> Which version of liquidweather do you use?

If you compile from source, everything *should* get installed into /usr/local/. This is a default action in most .configure 'prefix=' parameters. This means that anything you install this way will not interfer with you apt packet management, as the rule is that debian packages will never use the /usr/local... I did download the source and the configure script fails for me saying; --- X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! --- I haven't had chance to look into this yet...

If you have licences for windows apps which you would still like to use, and would be willing to shellout a further $180, try VMWare. It essentially runs Windows from within Kubuntu/Ubuntu. This is what I do. Then you can install everything into a fresh install of say Win XP and install everything in the usual way. If you have plenty of RAM available, you could assign say 512MB to VMWare when its runnign and you will hardly notice a performance degrade. WARNING - I can't get VMWare to install on 5.10 (Breezy) but it works fine on 5.04... Steve > > Some applications can be emulated with Wine.

I can't figure out how to get it back into the system tray. I'm having KDE issues at the moment (I'm in GNOME right now) so I can't check, but one of the items in one of KMenu's sub-menus is "Kgpg". Click on that and I belive there is a preferences section (or similar) where you can restore it to the notification area. I've had the same problems in the past. Or I suppose running the command "kgpg" would also do the trick. ;-) -- Scott www.angrykeyboarder.com © 2005 angrykeyboarder & Elmer Fudd.

Message-ID: <4376AEAB.1000305@comcast.net> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello list: I am having a most odd problem with my "Breezy" machine. It seems that after changing the root password to my system, I cannot no longer authenticate myself once my machine has been locked by the screensaver. I feel the problem is in my changing of the root password because of the following sequence of events: 1. I had an install of Breezy that had this problem, but did not suspect my changing the root password. 2. I decided to install larger hard drives in this machine and decided to do a clean install over imaging the machine. 3. The new and clean install of Breezy had no problem until..... 4. I changed the root password. The authentication log yields the following information: 11/11/2005 05:25:25 PM localhost unix_chkpwd[11411] check pass; user unknown 11/11/2005 05:25:25 PM localhost kcheckpass[11402] Authentication failure for jmcq12345 (invoked by uid 1000) 11/11/2005 05:25:25 PM localhost kcheckpass (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=1000 euid=1000 tty=:0 ruser= rhost= user=jmcq12345 Other processes such as sudo work just fine. I suspect that the problem is in kcheckpass, but have not found much luck searching the internet on this topic. BTW... the reason why I changed the root password is that I firmly believe that the password to the most powerful account on the machine should rest in the mind of the machine's administrator. I am a firm believer in sudo and would only use the root account in an instance of catastrophic failure with the machine.

What plugins are you refering to, have you got them from synaptic/apt from ubuntu or have you downloaded them from another site. It depends on the plugin and what it is for. Some need to be symlinked others don't.

When I first installed Kubuntu, I choosed too to set a root password, in order to keep my previous 'way to work' as in Mandrake.

It's > sad, I must admit, but that's what I think... I think the choice to use sudo is a good one. It's more secure than using su, and it doesn't limit you in any way. The initial user created is in the 'sudoers' file with full admin privileges, therefore you can run any task with full permissions using 'sudo ' and then entering YOUR password.

One word of caution, some of the plugins, like the enigmail interface to gpg can either be installed via the apt repositories or in the mozilla .xpi way. Don't update a plugin installed via apt with an xpi as it will break things. If you want to be able to update via xpi, do the initial install that way. Example: If you install the mozilla-Thunderbird-enigmail package and then use the Thunderbird extension manager, it will report that there is a newer version of enigmail. If you let it do the update, enigmail will be broken. If you remove the apt package and install enigmail via the xpi extension manager, all will be ok. -- _______________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

This is a good point, also it an 'excellent value' commercial product - it is well worth purchasing a legal copy. I am lucky in that mine is paid for through work, but at $189 for a licence it is well worth the investment. Remember that if you are to keep things all above board, you will also need to make sure that any OS you install into VMWare, you need the correct licence for - which you will no doubt have as most PCs come loaded with XP and have the licence...

If, however, you have had to continuously type sudo before each command, instead of committing a shell to root, if your account is compromised then only your account is at risk (unless the attacker knows your password!!) Also - 'sudo konqueror' means you can open konqueror with the rights to edit/move/delete all files...

If so, then you can put a fresh install of Kubuntu on your machine. When the install asks about partitioning, select to do the partitioning manually. Make sure that you leave the partition with your /home directory unformatted, but make sure you tell it to be mounted as /home If not, then it depends how much data in your /home.

The old wisdom used to provide for many partitions: /home, /usr/local /tmp /boot /swap and so on. The problems I have had with this fall into two categories. Unless disk space is practically unlimited, you have to accurately predict the size requirements of the partitions. There is nothing more frustrating than running out of space on one partition while you have loads of unused and practically speaking, unusable space on another. Program settings in a home directory are often incompatible with the updated versions of the programs in the new distro. The good news is that, as long as you are upgrading to a newer version of the same distro, the upgrade scripts will leave your personal data alone. So, I lost no personal data when upgrading from warty to hoary. I haven't upgraded from hoary to breezy -- and there are still too many problems with breezy buzzing about these lists to do so yet -- so I can't guarantee that a hoary to breezy upgrade will go as smoothly as the warty to hoary upgrade did. -- _______________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

Not a problem - that's what LVM is for. My _physical_ partitions are an (obsolete) Windows partition - now converted to Reiser - my root partition, my swap and an LVM. I should, in fact, be able to turn the old Windows partition into another LVM, and then use the two LVMs seemlessly. You _can_ put root on an LVM, but it just seems too scary to me... > Program settings in a home directory are often incompatible with the > updated versions of the programs in the new distro. For individual programs, you just move the config files. I haven't often found it an issue. Of course, I've been a dedicated Debian-based distro user since I first got into Linux, so there's probably never been a huge difference in configurations. I've tried other distros but I always come back to one or another offshoot of Debian before I see a need to merge my existing /home to the other distro. -- derek From guido.dom at gmail.com Mon Nov 14 15:20:58 2005 From: guido.dom at gmail.com (guido dom) Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2005 16:20:58 +0100 Subject: cardreader Message-ID: The 128 Mb SD memory card has disappeared suddenly from the desktopwindow Upon retiring and re-inserting the card I get a message (in Flemisg=Dutch): error while loadingmedia:sda1 the file or the directory (folder) media:sda1 does not exist What can I do? -- Tel:+32 (0)58 239804 +32 (0)497 538736 Fax +31 (0)84 722 2075 Nog een mooie dag toegewenst.

That's like me - I will try other distros but always come back to kubuntu... It just works compared to the other distros where I have to find software repos for mp3s and stuff like that.

Knoppix and Ubuntu Live CDs contain a special filesystem ("UnionFS" if I remember correctly). It is a read-write filesystem, but because the physical disk is read only (the DVD or CD), it keeps the changes in RAM. If you read a file from it, it first checks if it has been changed (or created). If it has, it is loaded from RAM. If it hasn't, it's loaded from the CD or DVD. cheers Tobi Vollebregt From roltux at gmail.com Mon Nov 14 21:37:27 2005 From: roltux at gmail.com (Werner Erselina) Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2005 22:37:27 +0100 Subject: start an application before kde In-Reply-To: <4242422.j4skGVN6sC@J212273445.user.x-privat.org> References: <4242422.j4skGVN6sC@J212273445.user.x-privat.org> Message-ID: <200511142237.28395.roltux@gmail.com> Hi Josef, What you could do is use the program screen. Screen is a sort off a terminal wich give you the power to start an application, this application will run even if you have logged out or restart kde. For more information check the man page for screen. For example: type on the commandline "screen vi", this will open the editor vi inside a screen session. when you close the console or logout, you can still go to your vi session with the following command. screen -r But anyway the manual pages contain far more information i am giving right now.

Perhaps I was not clear enough in my original post. I am a big fan of the sudo command and I do understand why it is important from a variety of security angles. The only time that I would even consider logging in as root would be in the instance of a catastrophic failure of the system. A second reason I like knowing the root password is knowing that security of this system resides with me and not whatever algorithm is used to scramble the root password on installation. I can be rather paranoid about my systems at times. My question, simply, is why is this simple change of password breaking the screensaver, and perhaps kcheckpass?

My thoughts are that this only happened after the root account was affected. A *guess* is that somehow the system now sees a root account and the screensaver is using this to lock/unlock the system???

On gnome-pilot, you can configure multiple ports. That way, if the pilot (kernel?) picks a different port, the sync completes without a reconfigure. Is anyone else having these problems?

I think this is due to achitectural choices from Kubuntu team. And I hab the idea to remove the root password after reading some threads on kubuntu forums.

The first problem is that, although the network settings screen says there is an administrator button to click to change settings, there really is not. This is not a problem, I simply do the command-line $sudo systemsettings and I can change things. The second problem is that when I switch to manual and set things, the IP does get set correctly and stays the same from re-boot to re-boot, but my default gateway doesn't seem to stick around. The result is that my machine cannot use the Internet. Is there some sort of "How-to" for this procedure so I can make absolutely sure I'm setting everything correctly before I decided that systemsettings has a real problem?

Or - if you just need the files of kde just take the /home/[username]/.kde directory. (This directory is hidden - therefore the dot before kde - in this directory kde stores all configuration files and the data for some kde applications like addressbook and korganizer.)

How do I find out > my IP address? Hey, Scott. Just a friendly note on sending messages into a list. If you want to ask a new question, or start a new thread you need to create the message from scratch, and not reply to another message. Even if you delete the subject line there is information in the header (which you can't see) to tell other email clients what "thread" a message belongs to. This is important because someone may set a thread to ignore, and never see a question you ask about something unrelated because his client is configured to view messages in threaded format.

Could this be due to the fact, that I do not see "incoming' directory anywhere in Mldonkey configuration dialogs? When I open Setting -> Mldonkey configuration Paths dialog I see temp_directory ./temp default_sharing_strategy all_files but there is no entry for incoming_directory or something like it. If that is the problem, how do I fix it? I see no possibility to add new entries in that dialog window. -- Donatas Glodenis From guido.dom at gmail.com Thu Nov 17 07:54:30 2005 From: guido.dom at gmail.com (guido dom) Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2005 08:54:30 +0100 Subject: ogg vorbis Message-ID: Hello >From PCWELT Linux 4/2005 MP3 nach OGG Vorbis konvertieren click on filename in Konqueror (after inserting CD) to change format to Flac of Ogg vorbis (it copies to harddisk) This works OK for about 50% of the file and then the conversion stops?????

This is a great solution for me since I can get used to using Ubuntu before I completely get rid of Windows on the other drive, can continue to use Win-based software that I need until I get emulation software for Linux. A glitch, though. Everything installed very nicely except the Ubuntu does not recognize the CD/DVD drive on my laptop. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do about it? Help, please!

There are two potential issues here: one, the kcontrol screens can sometimes be larger than the window they're displayed in. The button is there, but finding it can be difficult. The other is that kcontrol had a long issue with not being able to bring up the admin windows after you gave a password - it would open the same screen you'd just been on, and prompt you again. If that's what's happening, it's fixed in "breezy-updates" & "dapper". -- derek From art.alexion at verizon.net Thu Nov 17 16:35:39 2005 From: art.alexion at verizon.net (Art Alexion) Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2005 11:35:39 -0500 Subject: amaroK & ogg Message-ID: <437CB15B.6050809@verizon.net> I have an unusual problem with Kubuntu.

I recently (re-) installed K/Ubuntu (from scratch on a clean hard drive) and it looks like perhaps the buggy gtk-qt engine has found a new trick. Every time I run a GTK from a terminal I get the following error message: "/home/scott/.gtk_qt_engine_rc:136: error: unexpected character `{', expected character `}'" I've checked the .gtk_qt_engine_rc file and I can't find a problem on line 136 (I assume that's the line the error message is referring to. For good measure here are lines 127-143. 2 lines below the header that includes "gtk-index" is line 136. Am I missing something? stock["gtk-home"]={ { "32x32/filesystems/folder_home.png", *, *, "gtk-dnd" }, { "32x32/filesystems/folder_home.png", *, *, "gtk-dialog" }, { "16x16/filesystems/folder_home.png", *, *, "gtk-button" }, { "16x16/filesystems/folder_home.png", *, *, "gtk-menu" }, { "16x16/filesystems/folder_home.png", *, *, "gtk-small-toolbar" } } stock["gtk-index"]={ { "22x22/actions/contents.png", *, *, "gtk-large-toolbar" } { "22x22/actions/contents.png" } } stock["gtk-missing-image"]={ { "32x32/mimetypes/unknown.png", *, *, "gtk-dnd" }, { "32x32/mimetypes/unknown.png", *, *, "gtk-dialog" }, { "16x16/mimetypes/unknown.png", *, *, "gtk-button" }, { "16x16/mimetypes/unknown.png", *, *, "gtk-menu" }, { "16x16/mimetypes/unknown.png", *, *, "gtk-small-toolbar" } I see all kinds of GTK errors all the time when I run apps from the terminal, but this one caught my attention because a) the gtk-qt engine is a bit of a mess recently and b) this actually caused a few apps to crash or slow down dramatically (I suppose till they figured out it wasn't anything to be concerned about). Specifically, I was running "depkg-reconfigure debconf" (I wanted to switch to the GNOME interface) and it came to very very long pause during the process once that error message appeared. But I digress..... is there something I'm missing in this file? This file is re-generated any time I change themes in KDE so I can only be rid of it for so long before it comes back. :-) Thanks.

See my post at; http://kubuntuforums.net/index.php?topic=1540.0 My person opinion is that because of the 6 months release cycle, things were pushed through a little fast. If a six month release cycle is the way to go, I would sooner see fewer, changes which have had more time spent on them... I am however a big Kubuntu advocate, just that I am still running 5.04 for the reasons stated above.

I've been lucky so far. No significant crashes, just bugs here and there. The gtk-qt engine is driving me nuts. However, I've heard that problem is affecting all recent distros. > I have several > Distributions on my Laptop > with 1 GB memory and 7 GB partition size for the root (Kubuntu) and 12 > GB for the root (Ubuntu). You have a separate Kubuntu Breezy *and* Ubuntu Breezy Install on the same Hard Drive? I have both combined. I've got K/Ubuntu with GNOME, KDE, XFCE, Fluxbox and GNUStep/Windowmaker installed (I'm a desktop junkie, what can I say? ;-) ). > These partitions maybe used by around 20 % before the crash, afterwards > they show with the > df command that they are to 100% used.

The kaffeine shipped with Breezy crashes in almost all video files. I have tried the xine and gstreamer engines, without much success. The mpeg4 format fares better, but it's still clunky. None of that happens with mplayer or even noatun(!). I have installed the latest w32 codecs, and everything else is normal. What often happens is that if I try to play a video, kaffeine disappears and dies. If I retry, the window freezes and I'm left there waiting. The mouse works, but I cannot click on any icon, get any menu or use the keyboard. The only way out is a hard reset. This is using Kaffeine 0.7ubuntu4 (after an upgrade from Hoary to Breezy).

Please give it a shot and let us know of any problems through bugzilla. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/dapper/flight-1/ Dapper still has KDE 3.4, 3.5 will be uploaded in the next few days as part of a c++ transition. FOr further announcements please join the new low traffic ubuntu-devel-announce list http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-announce Jonathan Riddell ----- Forwarded message from Colin Watson ----- "I was beginning to think the old man was a few pennies short of a dime when in the distance, much like thunder, I heard a 'quack'. I have heard mighty dragons roar in fury and anger in the heat of battle, but nothing was equal to the earth shaking rumblings of this 'quack'." -- Jason Frieling, "Of Dragons and Ducks" This is Dapper Drake. Pre-release versions of Dapper are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or for anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent, breakage. They *are* recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs. Flight CD 1 is the first in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Dapper development cycle, as images that are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD-build or installer bugs, while representing very current snapshots of Dapper. You can download it here, for Ubuntu and Kubuntu respectively: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/dapper/flight-1/ http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/dapper/flight-1/ See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive for access instructions. There aren't many visible installer changes beyond Breezy yet, as we've been concentrating on merging work from Debian unstable, on getting things up and running at all, and on design work for this development cycle. To date, there have been 5219 uploads to Dapper, of which most (4064) have been automatic syncs from Debian unstable. Many of the remainder have been improvements to the rest of the distribution. However, this release does feature a few installer improvements which some people may find useful (many synced from Debian), including: * FAT filesystems may no longer be mounted in places which will break the system (#5374, #6441). * The timezone question has been overhauled, is now asked before base system installation, and will no longer be asked at all for countries with only one meaningful modern timezone. * Improved SMP kernel detection (for netboot or DVD installations). * Various improvements to installer log file management. * Writable CD/DVD devices are now properly excluded from the partitioner. This is quite an early set of images, so you can expect some bugs. Among them are the following (so you don't need to bother reporting these if you encounter them): * The live CD boot text is wrong; it describes the install CD. Either just press Enter, or type 'live ' if you need to pass special kernel options such as vga=771. * Just before the first reboot, you may see a screen asking you to select the debconf priority, which will then disappear after a few seconds when the system reboots. Ignore this screen; it only appears by mistake, and it's harmless. * The Kubuntu powerpc CDs are a little oversized, and require 700MB media as opposed to our normal 650MB requirements. If you're interested in following changes as we further develop Dapper, have a look at the dapper-changes list: http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/dapper-changes We also suggest that you subscribe to the ubuntu-devel-announce list if you're interested in following Ubuntu development. This is a low-traffic list (a few posts a week) carrying announcements of approved specifications, policy changes, alpha releases, and other interesting events. Future Flight CD announcements may only go to this list. http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-announce Bug reports should go here for now (although we intend to switch over to Launchpad's bug tracking facilities soon): https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/ Enjoy, -- Colin Watson [cjwatson at ubuntu.com] From T.Six at gmx.de Sat Nov 19 13:47:09 2005 From: T.Six at gmx.de (Thilo Six) Date: Sat, 19 Nov 2005 14:47:09 +0100 Subject: K3b doesn't want to work In-Reply-To: <437EA737.3040700@angrykeyboarder.com> References: <437EA737.3040700@angrykeyboarder.com> Message-ID: Scott schrieb am 19.11.2005 05:16: > I start it and up pops a dialog box reading > > "Since Linux kernel 2.6.8 cdrecord will not work when run suid root for > security reasons anymore. > Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem." > > So I click on the "Start K3b Setup2" button and up pops a big box that's > mostly blanked out.

No, _that_ message was introduced with the advent of the 2.6.8 kernel, and a change in kernel support for CD writers. iirc, it only appears if you _do_ have cdrecord setuid root. dpkg-reconfigure cdrecord allows you to change that. -- derek From drolyk at gmail.com Sun Nov 20 02:22:10 2005 From: drolyk at gmail.com (Makurin Roman) Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2005 05:22:10 +0300 Subject: updating kmenu In-Reply-To: <200511152015.06493.r.p.m.koendering@planet.nl> References: <200511152015.06493.r.p.m.koendering@planet.nl> Message-ID: <200511200522.17059.drolyk@gmail.com> В сообщении от Вторник 15 ноября 2005 22:15 R.P.M.Koendering написал(a): > What do I have to do to add (kcontrol) to kmenu? > > PCLos I add kicker applet for that.

I also find that 'dh-make' and 'fakeroot' are useful to build actual debian packages from a source. For example, for kmodemlights, after untarring, cd into the source directory and issue the command 'dh_make -s' and answer ok to the questions. Then, issue the command 'fakeroot debian/rules binary' from the same source directory .. it will build it and create a kmodemlights_0.7-1_i386.deb, which can be installed with 'dpkg -i kmodemlights_0.7-1_i386.deb'. If your build fails, and the error message complains about a missing library or command, try using 'apt-cache search ' to try to figure out which package you need to install. regards, From golfbuf at gmail.com Sun Nov 20 04:00:04 2005 From: golfbuf at gmail.com (golfer) Date: Sat, 19 Nov 2005 23:00:04 -0500 Subject: Breezy Badger seems to be still very beta (significant crashes) In-Reply-To: <1132298320.9132.33.camel@localhost.localdomain> References: <1132298320.9132.33.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: <835a7820511192000o6f82345eoea551ea8d00b7724@mail.gmail.com> On 11/18/05, Holger Rumland wrote: > > b) How can I trouble shoot and free up the partition to the status before > the crash so that I can use this > system once again (in this case right now Kubuntu) ?? 'man find' will give you some help. You can mount the bad partition from another working linux. You can check the /var/log/messages on the full partition to discover the exact time of the crash. Then, use the -mtime, -mmin or other time based search criteria to find files modified at the time of the crash. Or, use the -size option to look for super sized files. Once you identify them, add the -delete option to delete them. regards, -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Every time I upgrade, or update my system I have to play for hours trying to get some epson printer driver to work with my Epson Stylus 740, or my Epson Stylus C80. SUSE prints just fine, as does windoze. However, when I plug the printer up to my Home PC (be-it either Debian sarge or sid, or KUBUNTU Breezy) I have to fight it for hours to get it to print! The standard Foomatic print drivers were working just fine, but then some bright person on the Debian team decided to switch gears, not once, but twice (first to the "gimp-print" drivers, then "gutten-print" (spelling?) drivers)! and instead of leaving the foomatic support in for backward compatibility, they decided to take out all the foomatic drivers completely! At one point I was able to copy the foomatic driver down from SUSE 9.3, and it worked, but now after updating via apt-get, I can't even make that work. I'm sorry for the harsh tone, but it is 2:24 AM, and I've been fighting this since Midnight. And I'd really appreciate someone's help. I need this Epson Stylus Color 740 to print in 720 dpi sooner than later. You may be thinking, it must be your machine. However, this happens across three different hardware platforms, two Epson printers, and three versions of Debian, (Etch, Sid, and Kubuntu).

Please note that I am an advised user of computer-programs but I am certainly not an expert in setting up these things. Think about this before answering me, thanks. My prolemm is that when I got a passwordt for it. I changed the password, saved it and wrote it down on paper for memory.. Now when I am starting the computer again the kubuntu login page comes up and I have to onsert my login name and password. When, I do this it says that it fails. I tried more than once and also again wiith te first password that came with the computer. Nothing works. So I have a few questions: 1. how can I find the correct login/password? 2. how can I eventually start from scratch again? (as there is not yet anything on the computer, I won't loose anything) 3. can I, after that I succeded again to work on the computer, adapt the system so that it doesn't ask passwords again? thanks for a quick answer.

Googling "DWL-G630 +Linux" (sans "") yields the following two as the first hits, the second is probably of more use to you. http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=357&question=General%20Wireless http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-4200.html It appears that your card may use a Marvell chipset, meaning ndis wrapper, or DriverLoader may be your only options (ie, there's no native F/OSS Linux drivers).

However, ndiswrapper can set it up in no time. Grab the ndiswrapper-utils package from the standard Ubuntu repository, and install the windows driver for the Dlink card using the instructions on the Ndiswrapper project page ( http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation). Be sure to issue the "ndiswrapper -m" command to create a module alias for ndiswrapper, and add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules to have it loaded up boot time. Note that I have not been able to have the card automatically loaded and configured automatically in spite of all the gui tools that are supposed to do that. But the command line instructions on the Ndiswrapper project would allow you to quickly bring up the card and set the SSID for your wireless ntework. Work like a charm.

All I had to do is after connecting the projector cable to my laptop is restart X. Not by logging out and logging back in but by "Ctrl" + "BackSpace" key. That was quiet easy :). The display then only remains on the projector and I wont get it on my laptop screen this was fine with me.The Fn + display key was not working for switching between projector and laptop screen. There was one more problem,the resolution on the projector screen. Everything looked as if it was stretched from top. This I solved by replacing the following lines in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. $sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf changed Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" Option "DPMS" Modeline "1280x800 at 60" 83.91 1280 1312 1624 1656 800 816 824 841 EndSection to Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" Option "DPMS" # Modeline "1280x800 at 60" 83.91 1280 1312 1624 1656 800 816 824 841 EndSection and Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "ATI Technologies, Inc.

When I run kanotix, the graphic card is listed. Furthermore or I think because of the wrong detection my CPU-consumption under Ubuntu is in idle-mode nearly 15% in kanotix less than 5% (when I run kde).

After, for each words in the dictionnary : 1 char seems to be random 1 '00' the word and once again for the next word : the random char, the 00, the word. To remove a plain word, you MUST remove the 3 'groups' : the random, the '00', the word. Like that, it seems to work OK, but don't forget to save the file before editing it.

I have downloaded and installed akode and the gstreamer.mad applications and also run the 'killall artsd' command as suggested on the website. Still having no success. Also tried the XMMS package ... and it works perfectly out of the box! So the setup works!!! I would prefer to use the Amarok package if I can. I am wondering if my difficulties stem from an incorrect choice of 'output plugin'. My machine quotes 'alsasink' but also lists seven others. Is this the correct choice for an iMac? Where do I find the logs for sound device?? Thanks to all those who have provided help so far...

Thanks for the reply :) 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.

Anyway, I recently installed DansGuardian, and made my proxy into a transparent proxy. Any attempt to try to bypass the proxy gets a refused requester.

If I leave the default printcap setting of /var/run/cups/printcap, I can set up the queues with the KDE system settings tools, although there is an error on adding them (whether in normal or adminstrator mode -- since I'm a member of lpadmin I guess it's not surprising that the results are the same) and the queues appear intially stopped an not queueing. But whenever I restart the daemon, all the queues vanish. However by editing cupsd.conf to use /etc/printcap then things look to be OK (so far anyway). Does anyone else have this problem? And do you think it's a KDE "system settings" or a cups problem?

Message-ID: <200511302202.55405.simon@iki.fi> Hi! When installing packages in Kubuntu/Ubuntu or Debian the packages usually also want dependencies to be installed. When removing these packages again they don't seem to care about a bunch of dependencies being left installed. Is there a way to easily clean up unnecessary dependencies? The best way so far that I've been thinking of is to use synaptic to install the software, because synaptic keeps track of installation history. Still this only gives a list of packages installed at a sertain occation, which means that one will still have to remove them manually one by one. 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. All packages just installed as dependencies should also be able to be removed automatically as soon as no 'picked package' or dependency of a 'picked package' would be dependent on it. cheers, Simon From benvinger at yahoo.co.uk Wed Nov 30 20:37:01 2005 From: benvinger at yahoo.co.uk (Ben Vinger) Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 20:37:01 +0000 (GMT) Subject: How to clean up unnecessary dependencies?

Hello Install and run deborphan. This will list installed but unused stuff. If you are sure nothing essential is listed by deborphan, you can do: apt-get --purge remove $(deborphan) In Woody I used to get shellutils and textutils listed by deborphan. This was wrong, because they are essential packages. So to prevent removal of any essential packages, I used to do: apt-get --purge remove $(deborphan |grep -v shellutils |grep -v textutils) ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
