I ask because the firefox package in 6.06 does not use mozilla-firefox anymore. If you are using a 5.10 system, I agree with your install entirely. On 6.06, it makes much more sense to install from the repos. I also use the extension manager directly. Extensions are not part of the Ubuntu packaging system, so the updates to extensions are not done through Ubuntu security. The extensions are also contained in your home directory, so are able to be updated by firefox. Since the executable is in the /usr tree, it is not able to be updated by a normal user, thus firefox cannot update itself unless it is run as root - not a good idea... The package manager handles those updates well. -Matt From reb68 at bellsouth.net Sat Jul 1 09:28:11 2006 From: reb68 at bellsouth.net (Richard E.

Tez ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well Tez, I connect via a 1500 DHCP broadband, and disabled the firewall, so that was not the problem with Ktorrent, just too few peers and most of them snubbed. Tried another torrent with many more peers, and still a lot of snubs but much faster download achieved. I think the snubbing is an issue, as it was acknowledged on the Ktorrent forum. By the way, may I ask how did you get Azureus to work from the website, did you make an ubuntu package first? or just use the binary?

I ran into the same problem with Azureus from the repos. But, for me the downloaded version from sourceforge did no better. That is until I discovered that I wasn't actually using the sun java that I had also installed from the repos by doing a sudo update-alternatives --config java. Once I changed to the correct java, both versions of Azureus work beautifully.

What I was trying for is the "bug" reporting format. I am an old MS user and have tried several versions of Linux, I have tried to avoid using the command line since the DOS era. I have Kubuntu 6 installed, and when I use Adept to install certain applications, it gives the incompatibility relationship thing message, and I don't know if it continues to install or not. Because after that Adept is read only, it no longer has any install functionality. Gives some sort of shut down conflicting applications running message. Yast and Anaconda while not as easy to use as Adept, don't seem to have this problem, either they correct the package incompatibilities or refuse to install them. When this Adept disable thing happens, the only way that I have found to correct this is a complete reinstall. It tells you to shut down conflicting running apps, but I shut them all down, even disabled them all so only the critical ones boot, still no help. I consider this a "bug" to the functionality of Adept. Any ideas on what this might be. Thanks, Tom McLernon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don't know. It is a bridge I'll have to cross when I upgrade. I figure most of the bigger bugs will be out by August. This is a production machine, and I've had good luck waiting 2-3 months post release before upgrading. I don't like the way the Debian package system handles Mozilla stuff. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

I recently downloaded a torrent so it's not a dapper problem. Sounds like a NAT problem. Make sure your router is forwarding your selected ports. Also some ISPs are blocking the default bittorrent ports 6881. Choose a port in the 5 digit range and make sure it is properly forwarded and configured in your client (ktorrent, Azureus, etc.) -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

Either browse through Adept to find it, or type 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' on the command line. For future reference, most things in (K)Ubuntu can be installed through the package manager. Adept is a graphical front end to apt which is a set of command line utilities. I would recommend searching the package manager before trying to install things using the compiler/downloads off the web. Using the package manager has the added benefit of installing all the dependencies of the program you are installing also. -Matt From jriddell at ubuntu.com Sun Jul 2 18:44:09 2006 From: jriddell at ubuntu.com (Jonathan Riddell) Date: Sun, 2 Jul 2006 19:44:09 +0100 Subject: [kubuntu-users] development tools package?

In any case, I used the value account-xxx where xxx is the value found after ID= in the file you specify. As there was one entry that _does_ stay, I could verify that this is the correct way to do it. After entering the password, I click Save. However, when I open Kmail, I am _still_ prompted for a password. And although I didn't close the Kwallet window, the entry disappears! Completely reproducible, I did it four times.

Can anyone help? > If I remember correctly I had to edit a line in one of the CUPS config files to get the server (ie the computer running the printer) to listen to print requests from other PC's on my network. I changed the first line of /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf to read: listen *:631 This means that CUPS is available to everyone - but port 631 is blocked by my NAT router, so I haven't got round to worrying about the security implications of non-local connections. Also it may be that altering the /etc/cups/cups.d/browse.conf file to read "browsing on" might work (didn't for me!). Remember to restart the CUPS server after changes ("sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart"), and add users to the "lp" group to allow them to initiate print jobs. I would imagine the reason that network printing doesn't work "out of the box" is because of security concerns (I don't think ANY listening daemons are enabled by default), but I've never found a simple (working!) GUI way of setting up network printing on Dapper. Hopefully this helps - but this is based only on my tinkering experience, and NOT on any real understanding of the complexities of CUPS! -- Ian From lists at wordit.com Mon Jul 3 08:03:24 2006 From: lists at wordit.com (Marcus) Date: Mon, 03 Jul 2006 10:03:24 +0200 Subject: CUPS printing problem Message-ID: <44A8CF4C.6080503@wordit.com> I just installed Dapper a few days ago and I'm very pleased with Kubuntu :-) (I used to use standard Debian, or Knoppix.)

I have 1280x1024 resolution and all applications seem slow when typing or redrawing screen. In konsole I disabled the "Show frame" options and now it works much faster, but other apps continue with the problem. I also found the when typing in a smaller window it works faster. For example if I compose an email in kmail and the compose window is small it works well, but if I maximize the window the problem begins, its significantly slower and if I type fast, the characters are changed(if I type "ssh", I see "shs"). Any idea about how to solve it? I think it's the default theme configuration. Now even windows is much faster than KDE in my computer(P4 2.8, 512RAM).

Thanks. > >Dotan Cohen >http://what-is-what.com > This isn't exactly an answer to your question, but it may be a solution to your original problem... IIRC, your setup is something like: pc --> router --> modem* --> internet *I don't recall if you have DSL or cable, but I don't think it matters. In most setups, the modem will use NAT (network address translation) and DHCP to automatically assign a private IP address to whatever devices are assigned to it. Your router will also probably use NAT/DHCP for devices connected to it. So, from an address perspective the setup is: pc --> NAT --> NAT --> internet About the kindest thing you can say about NAT from a design perspective is that it's useful hack. Earlier this year I resolved some long standing packet loss problems I had be getting rid of this layered NAT architecture and just having one level of NAT. What I was able to do is put my cable modem in bridge mode and assigned a public IP address to my router. Unless you have multiple public IP accounts, you won't be able to do it this way. What you would need to try is setting your router up as a bridge so that the modem is the only DHCP/NAT running. Consult your router documentation or tech support on how to do this.

Even if the router has that ability, it's most likely handicapped. The router has two telephone jacks for VOIP, and they're disabled so I have another router for telephone (which itself has the ethernet port and USB disabled). They really discourage routers here, such that if you tell them in tech support that you have a router, most likely they'll tell you that they don't support routers and they won't help troubleshoot until the router is not part of system. (ie, modem and windows computer ONLY). There are a few techs that'll talk around the subject, but it's hit-or-miss and they certainly won't help with anything directly related to the router. In any case, is there no way for a Kubuntu machine to connect to the internet via a standard external modem, be it cable or [a]DSL? Even the ubuntu wiki is not helpful. How is [k]Ubuntu supposed to squash bug #1 if it can't connect to the internet? In a more productive tone, if anybody connects their Kubuntu machine directly to the modem, I'd love to hear from them. As soon as I've the necessary information I'll gladly update the docs myself. Thanks.

As soon as I've the > necessary information I'll gladly update the docs myself. If you are connecting up via Cable, the authentication should be contained in the modem. All you have to do is set your Kubuntu box up for DHCP and boot up, or ifdown, connect cable, and ifup the nic. The question is with the delay, how do your internal boxes get their IP address / DNS name and Server IP addresses / router config? Is it all static, or dhcp? I have two Linksys routers connected to my Cable modem. One is my VOIP provider (two voice ports) and the other is my Wireless. One of them performs the NAT function, and hands out DHCP addresses, the other is just a device on the net. I figured out what DNS IP addresses to send to my internal boxes by setting the first router to DHCP and then checking what settings it had received. If your DNS setup is hosed you'll have a hard time communicating to some sites. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! http://risenbooks.com Christian bookstore From dgvirtual at akl.lt Mon Jul 3 17:46:05 2006 From: dgvirtual at akl.lt (Donatas G.)

Although it is cable, we must enter our user name, password, and some other stuff into a built-in windows dialer. Of course, that is not viable for linux users! I assume this is because the infrastructure provider (the company that provides the modem and the cable coming into the house) is not the ISP, so we must tell it to which ISP to connect. I now understand that this may not be a very common setup in other countries. > The question is with the delay, how do your internal boxes get their IP > address / DNS name and Server IP addresses / router config?

Based upon some testing, the router may in fact be the source of problems- it is dropping anywhere from 2% to 6% of the packets going through it. It is a Level1 unit, for those about to buy!

Here's something else to try: - - move $HOME/.Xauthority to $HOME/.Xauthority-old and try again. There's a few other hidden files in $HOME that X/KDE use for IPC and DCOP so you may need to rename a few others too. If all else fails, move your entire $HOME directory to $HOME-old like this from a terminal (CTRL+ALT+F1): 0. Log in as you (eg "chris"). 1. sudo -i 2. mv /home/chris /home/your-user-OLD 3. mkdir /home/your-user 4. cp /etc/skel/* /home/chris 5. chown -R chris:chris /home/chris 6. chmod -R 0775 /home/chris 7. CTRL+D (this should drop you back to your normal account) Log out then switch back to KDM (ALT+F7) and restart the X server. Now log in as your normal user account via KDM (ie, "chris"). You should be up and running again.

Now, now, no need to start a flame war just coz you're having problems.

There are two formats of Word files. One is essentially XML (Word XP/2003) which beagle can and should index.

I hope someone can help me with this as I don't want to have to go into windows everytime to transfer my music.

Root couldn't even start KDE in single user mode, nor could any other user (even newly created ones). I have not change my permissions, nor I have changed my UID (unless something did it behind my back). Simply reinstalling ksmserver (and Kubuntu desktop) fixed my problem which leads me to believe that some global config got hosed somehow. Yeah, I'm on my 3rd try of Kubuntu. I tried Breezy, but a lot of multimedia stuff didn't work well (lots of crashes). Then I put Dapper on my laptop, but had to remove it because of this bug: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/44912 Now Dapper is only on my home desktop. I'd like to try it again on my laptop now that there are 2 potential solutions to the aforementioned bug, but installing a distro, then my dev environment at work, is very time consuming and I can't risk anymore downtime if the solutions don't work. Oh well. I don't want to start a flame war over FC vs. Kununtu. I *hate* that FC's default desktop is Gnome. The only reason I stick with it is because of my constant success with it since FC2 (on multiple desktop/laptop systems). Hopefully I can workout all the kinks in Kubuntu and completely switch to a KDE based distro. ..but it's a little scary since most of the bugs I encounter in Kubuntu are showstoppers (i.e. I cannot do my work) where as the bugs in FC are just annoyances. Sure I 'solved' this problem, but I have no idea why it happened in the first place, and because of that, I don't know if it will reoccur again the next time I reboot. :( Sorry for the rant, please don't take this as an anti Kubuntu post. I love my car, but I'll still bitch to the dealer and manufacturer to fix things, ya know? :D -- C James Gray wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Christopher J.

When you plug in your Sansa, amarok should detect it and offer a little dialog, and in there, in the section asking for you to choose which plug-in to use, select "generic audio player" I don't remember any issues, other than that you should not unplug the device immediately after transferring files via amarok, or even copying files via Konqueror as there is some lag between when amarok/Konq seems to be finished and the files are finished being written. the display will say what is going on -- claydoh From philsf at ufrj.br Tue Jul 4 02:01:44 2006 From: philsf at ufrj.br (Felipe Figueiredo) Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2006 23:01:44 -0300 Subject: problems configuring HP printer Message-ID: <200607032301.44192.philsf@ufrj.br> Hello, I am having some serious problem in configuring my HP OfficeJet 4225 printer in linux, the problem being it doesn't use black ink when printing. My (3-)color ink has almost died on testings, and I just got a brand new (original hp) black cartrigde, but it onlye prints in faint (almost vanishing) yellow. This same thing happened to me previously to installing kubuntu, both with Debian Sarge, and Etch (both up to date). I still have an (up to date) Etch, and a Windows XP for testings on a separate PC. Printing is fine on windows, which probably excludes hardware problems. Facts: in this kubuntu I firstly tried the traditional way of configuring the printer with the main tool (which I supose to be a front-end to kprint), with HPLIP from kubuntu dapper. The PC correctly finds the USB printer, and creates the hp:// CUPS backend. HPs tool programs seems to work just fine, showing ink levels and managing queues and jobs. It's just the black ink that don't come out... I then tried purging all hplip packages, and compiling the last version (1.6.6), following step by step the instructions. Same result. On linuxprinting.org, this model (actually 4200) reports as working "mostly", but it should mean IMHO that it could print with basic color cartridge. I don't need photo quality. On that site there is a report that it worked out of the box on a Mandriva linux, so it should work somehow. I just can't find out how.

If so, you should be able to go to the printer properties and change which type of ink it is using (Draft Mode, black cartridge for example). Under the default settings it will only use the color cartridge. Also note that the pages won't automatically reverse like they do in Windows. You have to set that up manually.

CUPS is running, but when I goto the KDE System Settings panel it just hangs, and eventually times out with a "not responding" dialog. Same thing if I try to print from an app. Reinstallation did not change anything. It seems as though KDE and CUPS are not talking, something in that area perhaps? Any other ideas to get CUPS working?

Even If you have a "modem" that requires MSFT sign-on software, then you probably should start writing your Dear John letter explaining why you're moving to DSL. When I had cable (before I noticed their indemnity clause), the installer set the modem up with his Win laptop, checked operation, and then connected up my internal cables, and left. After I figured out that he put the TV filter on the PC cable, and fixed that, I just used DHCP with it, with no more trouble. With a standard DSL setup, the modem contains a router, etc. You talk to it with a web browser, and it's very configurable, setting the name/password, etc. I set mine to show my system a fixed IP address 10.x.x.x and get on the Internet with just: ifconfig eth# 10.x.x.4; route add default gw 10.x.x.2 I suggest finding the docs for your modem and see what it offers.

Like said, I can switch ISP's, but I cannot switch infrastructure. I only wish that I could. The modem and the cable coming into the house are provided by the infrastructure (Hot is the companies name) and I've no choice to switch. Not only are they MS-freaks, but most Israeli websites are so IE-oriented that they use ActiveX on hyperlinks! I can't imagine with what tools they write those sites. They only advantage to that, in my opinion, is that I'm forced to use non-Israeli websites, which has made me rather proficient in English :) Note: I _could_ switch to ADSL, but that would require setting up a telephone line via the national telephone company (Bezeq). I have had worse experience with Bezeq than I have had with the cable provider- so much that I moved to VOIP over cable. I don't even have a television, yet I pay for cable with the intention of using it for VOIP and internet because the telephone company is so bad. > When I had cable (before I noticed their indemnity clause), the > installer set the modem up with his Win laptop, checked operation, and > then connected up my internal cables, and left.

But the router seems faulty (dropping packets) and I'd like to connect directly to the modem. I did ask a tech if there is a web-based control panel (like the router's web based control panel) for the modem that I could use to connect, he answered no and made a reply as if I had asked if the refrigerator has a web-based control panel. > I suggest finding the docs for your modem and see what it offers. I > know my cable modem had many features that I could and did ignore. I'll look for more info, but I'm not optimistic. Everybody that I know of with a winbox connects via the dialer. UPDATE- while finishing this letter I spent some time on google. I came across this solution to the problem: Cable Dialer: http://support.actcom.co.il/support/tips/cableen/cable.php They have dialers for a few popular linux distros to connect via L2TP and PPTP. I'm mentioning it for the archives, and for anybody else who takes an interest. If there are other parts of the world that must connect to their ISP via an intrusive infrastructure company, then we might want to create a simple GUI based upon these packages. I've seen a lot of complaints about connecting to the 'net in linux in the archives, but I don't know enough to know if this is relevant or not.

You do not want to drag it into a data CD project, as this may cause the kind of problems you describe. This will work for burning the ISO file, which is a complete image of the CD, ready to be burned byte for byte to the CD. The CD image contains a compressed volume, with large amounts of software, which is the DVD sized part you are describing. You must burn the ISO image without opening it (and decompressing the contents).

If you just want to update you should just add the CD to the sources "apt-cdrom add" and that is documented in the help and wiki, but, yeah, there could be some info on the CD installer about upgrading as now the install CD is the LiveCD, some/most people will want to use the LiveCD to preview Dapper.

The Ship-it CDs are desktop CDs. They contain a lot of the packages in compressed form in the squash-fs file system. As such, IIUC, most of those packages are not available as real packages to apt.

I've done Update manager -> upgrade didn't know the CD was there. Aborted upgrade when it said 5 days + download then I did # apt-cdrom add # apt-get update # apt-get dist-upgrade now it should know the CD is there but still only downloading from internet - as far as i can tell. also since tried adept updater, adept, update manager and synaptic.... am I doing something wrong?

I apologize if this has been aready said, but have you checked if your loopback interface is OK? I had a similar problem to yours, and it turned out that CUPS could not talk to the lo because I made a mistake when editing /etc/networks/interfaces. ifconfig should show something like this: lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 [more stuff] The important field is "inet addr:127.0.0.1". If it isn't there, the lo interface might be misconfigured. Try ifconfig lo down ifconfig lo up And check CUPS in the System Settings again. It worked for me.

Ubiquity copies the files out of the squashfs file in order to save space on the CD. Since these files are accessed in a way that apt normally doesn't work, the packages in question are not available to apt. The repository on the CD is for packages that are not used by the live session, but that are considered important enough to have along, such as the build-essential package and dependencies. If I am correct, this means that most of the packages that need upgrading are probably not really there on the CD, as they are used by the live session. I got the impression of this being the way the installer works because of the discussions on build-essential on the devel list, so I hope someone will correct me if this is not true. -Matt From johndecarlo at gmail.com Wed Jul 5 16:44:07 2006 From: johndecarlo at gmail.com (John DeCarlo) Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2006 12:44:07 -0400 Subject: I NEED HELP In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <3dde113c0607050944w528e66efucec6523288bdb15@mail.gmail.com> On 7/5/06, mike barns wrote: > > I have migrated from windows XP to Kubuntu which am happy with but i have > no > sound.Thus i cant hear any sound.So i want sound drivers for P4 Prescott > 848P Motherboard. > Name of board is ( all-round). > Here are some questions to help: 1.

I worked with my laptop, since it's not my primary machine. It's a Dell Inspiron 1100. I have a single PCMCIA slot that I swap a wireless card and modem in. I had a friend download the image and burn it, the "check disk for errors" option said the disk had zero errors, checked on two different machines, desktop and the laptop in question. *1st install* - Belkin wireless card, which worked under breezy, no longer works. *2nd install* - With wireless card in this time to hopefully get detected and work??? No joy, and this time firefox and all things mozilla, would not install, and would not for any reason recognize my modem card. Tried shared connection to net via lan and it wouldn't connect to get updates at all, though konqueror could visit google and cnn. *3rd install* - Threw dapper disk in the trash can. Grabbed breezy disk. Install went well, copied personal apt repository from external hd and updated on the fly and configured in less than an hour. Modem card and wireless card work flawlessly.

This was worse than the knoppix installer. You are not forced to use this new installer. On my Sony it didn't work either. But at boot time you can select the classic installer which gives you the same install procedure as for breezy. Maybe this can help you.

I totally agree. But I also think that the mailing list lacks an important feature, namely, you cannot search the mailing list. You can only browse through the archive. If it had such a feature, you could probably perform such a search on the subjects or on the message bodies (or both). Nevertheless the subjects should be descriptive. cheers, Christian From pupeno at pupeno.com Thu Jul 6 09:29:14 2006 From: pupeno at pupeno.com (Pupeno) Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2006 09:29:14 +0000 Subject: Bash prompt Message-ID: <200607060929.17863.pupeno@pupeno.com> Hello, I see on .bashrc that there's code to make nicely colorful prompts in Bash, yet, that code seems to never be run (maybe because the console is not detected as xterm ?).

If you run Edgy, you don't have this problem because the KDE 3.5.3 in edgy is fixed. Unfortunately nobody wants to do a backport or even include 3.5.3 in the ubuntu repositories for dapper.

And to add my 2¢, I just deleted two threads captioned "HELP" and "I NEED HELP". Life is too short to read threads which I can't tell are relevant or where I don't know a solution. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

I've just tried to install the latest Kubuntu CD on a laptop and have a few comments and issues. First, the installation process only being possible from within a Live CD boot is strange and a bit tedious. Why is there no install option from the menu after booting? Next, the disk setup process needs clearer descriptions to cover the options. I had no problem doing a DIY, since I wanted to use an unused Debian partition, but had I not known what I was being asked, then I doubt that I could have understood it from the scribblings. During the installation, at the 'Ready to install' stage, a message box appears saying 'Scanning the mirror'. Some explanation might be useful at this point. In any case, this step never got beyond 1%, and there are no options present to cancel it. After a while I closed the box, at which point, the only option is to cancel the installation - which is kind of discouraging, since no feedback regarding any problem was forthcoming. So, all in all, a bit of a non-event, particularly when compared to my previous installations of Ubuntu, which were all non-events because they just worked. Nevertheless, I restarted the installation. The dialogue doesn't remember the machine name, which is not cool, since it remembers other info. Overlooking this would be a royal pain, since you'd likely end up with an unwanted machine name, and probably have to scrub the install and start again. The same 'Scanning the mirror' box appeared and sat at 1% - I presume that it wants an Internet connection, but nothing appeared to indicate or request this. So, what's the trick to install Kubuntu from the CD? -- Best, Marc From omar.armas at gmail.com Thu Jul 6 16:37:07 2006 From: omar.armas at gmail.com (Omar Armas) Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2006 11:37:07 -0500 Subject: acrobat plugin error Message-ID: Hi, I have dapper with the following acrobat packages: acroread acroread-plugins The file nppdf.so exist with a valid link(i even copied original file) in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins, but when in firefox I type "about:plugins" I dont see acrobat plugin(but i see others i have installed).

There's an option in the printer's menu, under "Printers Tools", which opens some "ESPON Ink Jet" toolbox. However I would like to include (or maybe substitute it) HP's hp-toolbox, which suits my device. I can't find out, by ps [x|xf|ef|aux], and top, what exactly is that epson application. I understand it's run by 'systemsettings' (part of kde-systemsettings package), but can't find out how it opens external tool programs. Facts: 1- apt-cache search epson returns little information, including pkg 'escputil' which is NOT installed 2- grep -ri epson /etc/* returns nothing interesting 3- there is no useful documentation for kde-systemsettings Does anybody have information on how to configure this package? In fact, googling suggests this package is ubuntu-exclusive (at least for now). It's very nice, easy and effective, but little more documentation would also come in hand. thanks in advance FF From dgvirtual at akl.lt Thu Jul 6 17:42:36 2006 From: dgvirtual at akl.lt (Donatas G.)

It's not something that the average user ever does. Most people come from the windows world with just a C: drive. If they do have a D:, then it's usually created by the manufacture. I agree that the installer is a bit terse on explaining things, but you (and anyone else) could just pick the option to use the whole disk. > During the installation, at the 'Ready to install' stage, a message box > appears saying 'Scanning the mirror'.

It's wants to check to see if your country has a mirror (copy) of the archives. It checks the mirror for updates to the CD (I think). You shouldn't need a network connection to install, but I think the installer just assumes you have a dhcp server sitting nearby and it will configure your network card and set up your internet for you. Almost everyone who has broadband access has a DHCP server built into the router that they use to connect, so this assumption isn't totally without merit. In any event, it sounds to me like you want the Alternate Install CD, which you can download from: http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/6.06/ Of course that's just one of the mirrors. There are literally hundreds of mirrors to choose from.

First of all you have Kubuntu as the host OS and Windows as the guest? You need to enable either bridging or tunneling to get your guests to connect to the internet. Are you using VMPlayer or VMWorkstation? I don't know if it matters or not, but in VMWorkstation which ever has the focus of the mouse will use the USB drive and CD. Make sure for the CD rom that you don't have it setup to run as a mounted .iso which it was probably run as to install.

If you don't want to download the server then open the .vmx file (eg Windows.vmx), 1) Look for the line "Ethernet0.connectionType =" if it's not there you can just add it. you can change it to "nat" "hostonly" or "bridged" and include the quotes, eg. Ethernet0.connectionType = "nat" (for it to share your IP, if your interface has a public ip for example) Ethernet0.connectionType = "hostonly" (for a network with the host and client only) Ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged" (to setup the network in the client to add it to your LAN, acts just like if it was physically connected) 2) Add the lines: usb.present = "TRUE" usb.generic.autoconnect = "FALSE" to the file, if not there, then you'll be able to choose the device to connect on the top of the window under "removable devices" or similar. 3) To read from CD find/add the lines: ide1:0.present = "TRUE" ide1:0.fileName = "/dev/hdc" If you want to read from a device use: ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-raw" or from a image, use ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-image" Dose that answer all your questions?

Oh well there's something you should know about MP3/WMA/OGG. They are all "lossy" formats. In other words you will ALWAYS loose some definition even at high sample and bit rates. Imagine the original ripped audio (uncompresed PCM) as 100% copy of the original (CD). Now you convert that to MP3/OGG/WMA. For the sake of the illustration, let's assume this MP3/OGG/WMA is 80% quality of the original[1]. Life is good. Now you no longer have access to the original CDs and have to convert between formats. So you end up with 80% of 80% which is 64% of the original (CD). You end up with the worst of both worlds. This is the nature of all lossy formats (JPEG/PNG is another case that use lossy "compression"[2]). Make sense? In answer to your original question, the general process is to output the MP3/WMA to RAW (PCM) format then re-encode from that. You can do all that in a pipe on the command line using mpg123 and oggenc: for FILE in *.mp3 do mpg123 $FILE --whatever-to-get-raw-on-stdout | oggenc -foo > \ $(echo $FILE | sed s/\.mp3$//).ogg done Read the man pages for mpg123 and oggenc to see what switches will work for your source audio. mplayer will help with the WMA stuff :) HTH, James [1] 80% is an exaggeration for the sake of illustrating a point - the reality is nowhere near that bad unless you're using *really* low bit and sample rates (the kind you find on podcasts). The higher the sample and bit rates the better, but the files will also be larger. There's no such thing as a free lunch I'm afraid :) [2] Again, not 100% accurate. You *can* do lossless manipulation of JPEG's and PNG's but not lossless conversion between the two as they use different compression algorithms. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFErecswBHpdJO7b9ERAk2mAJ4gi+uFNElD3hn8RM2/bc9YNz7ZBwCfdHpH DR2L87By3aVdLYCcV+NEpKU= =q+vf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From binary_y2k2 at blueyonder.co.uk Fri Jul 7 08:11:02 2006 From: binary_y2k2 at blueyonder.co.uk (Tez) Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2006 09:11:02 +0100 Subject: Kaffeine CD player In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <44AE1716.3070206@blueyonder.co.uk> misha cabanski wrote: > tez; > thanks much for the tip, what is the big deal on using telegraph txt > lingo? i'v had lots of schtick for it. thanks again, ta for being in > touch. > > ciao, > misha > It's because this is a multinational mailing list and, for many of the users english is not their first language.

But you can use those lines in the .vmx to auto connect a device. You can use lsusb to find the info for the line but I use /proc/bus/usb/devices because lsusb doesn't tell me which device is my card reader, just gives "Alcor Micro Corp." lspci: This shows me "Bus 003 Device 002: ID 058f:9360 Alcor Micro Corp.", it's the ID part you want, if yours was 058f:9360 then change usb.autoConnect.device0 = "path:3/5 autoclean:1" to usb.autoConnect.device0 = "0x58f:0x9360 autoclean:1" (058f:9360 in hex) /proc/bus/usb/devices: If you use /proc/bus/usb/devices, look for a reference like "S: Product=USB Reader" (from my devices file) look for the line with "P: Vendor=" in the same block, eg "P: Vendor=058f ProdID=9360 Rev= 1.00" You need to vendor part and the prodID part, change the line to those numbers (in hex) with a colon between them. So if your device was the same as mine you would change the "path:3/5" part to "0x58f:0x9360" and the line would read: usb.autoConnect.device0 = "0x58f:0x9360 autoclean:1" You may also need the line usb.generic.skipsetconfig = "TRUE" This will stop ubuntu grabbing the device before the client dose. >> 3) To read from CD find/add the lines: >> ide1:0.present = "TRUE" >> ide1:0.fileName = "/dev/hdc" > > Ah, this works because linux sees everything as a file?

Since resetting the VM I've actually been pretty lucky with the disks. I rightclick them and click eject in windows, and so far it's worked as if it were running right on the hardware itself. Amazing. Thank you, Tez. I've been googling all day for an explanation of the various options available in the config file. I can't find any. I don't know how we're supposed to use this stuff if it's not documented, but in any case, I am grateful to VMWare for the amazing work they've done with this.

It would be better if this had been communicated to me when I ordered the CDs. The 5.1 Ubuntu CDs came with two CDs, of course, which was fine. I hand these CDs out to customers and potential clients, so to propagate good Kubuntu karma, the path of least resistance is essential. As it stands, these CDs are of very limited use.

My point is that the partitioning dialogue is poorly executed - though it's an improvement over the text version, of course. > I agree that the installer is a bit terse on explaining things, but you > (and anyone else) could just pick the option to use the whole disk. And trash other partitions, I don't think so. And this is part of my concern: XPers (or anyone with little or no exposure to Linux) brave enough attempt an install will likely have data on their disks that they wish to preserve. I uphold my point that this area of the install process needs to be made clearer or much simpler.

Indeed, it wasn't hard to diagnose this, but the point needed to be made. Karma: -1, poor communication Actually, there appear to be some serious knock-on effects from this issue. Since the installation had progressed a certain distance, and files copied to disk, and Internet communications attempted, I later discovered that sources.list had multiple items commented out due to the URLs being absent. Again, no communication of this fact was made by the install process. Someone moving to Linux will be unable to diagnose this, wonder why they can't install software, and potentially expose them to security risks. Karma: -1, poor communication > You shouldn't need a network connection to install, but I think the > installer just assumes you have a dhcp server sitting nearby and it will > configure your network card and set up your internet for you. "assume"! Yup, a big problem. As it happens, dhcp was close by - and worked fine - but talking to the outside world was verboten. > Almost everyone who has broadband access has a DHCP server built into the > router that they use to connect, so this assumption isn't totally > without merit. Any assumption is inexcusable. The installation process should attempt actions and inform the user when they fail, offering options to solve the problem or to gracefully degrade. Karma: -5, poor communication > In any event, it sounds to me like you want the Alternate Install CD, > which you can download from: > > http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/6.06/ Good to know it's there. But... it would have been good to know before - nothing to do with you, of course. All in all, I think that the installation is very poor. It was easy enough to fix, due to having Linux and Debian knowledge, but a user new to Linux/Debian would have been left dangling.

Why not sudo ? sudo is *the* right tool for that. With sudo you can give a user the access to run one program specifically. It is configured in /etc/sudoers or something, man sudoers would help; searching on line for a how-to or tutorila would be useful as well. -- Pupeno (http://pupeno.com) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I always thought it was. PNG can use either a lossless or lossy compression - it all depends on how the programmer decides to implement compression. Most implementations of PNG encoding I've seen employ a lossy compression algorithm as the results are "good enough" with significant benefits for file size (same rationale as JPEG, and basically every other lossy encoding). http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngintro.html Have a read - it's a good high-level overview of what PNG is and isn't, and how it's implemented. :) Cheers, James -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFErkk6wBHpdJO7b9ERAm4JAJ49DNnalRLq5/nxO9cUpB7ggL0O0QCdEo3Q GE1lpcIV9rO0i8exfP5woAY= =gQyQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From james at grayonline.id.au Fri Jul 7 11:53:49 2006 From: james at grayonline.id.au (James Gray) Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2006 21:53:49 +1000 Subject: subject lines In-Reply-To: <200607071343.42590.urtzi@fmf.uni-lj.si> References: <44ACE067.90001@grayonline.id.au> <200607071343.42590.urtzi@fmf.uni-lj.si> Message-ID: <44AE4B4D.5020807@grayonline.id.au> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Urtzi Jauregi wrote: > On Thursday 06 July 2006 12:05, James Gray wrote: > >>> ta 4 dat, i'll keep it in mind, im a bit new @ dis. > >> WTF?!

One of the assumptions made was that network cards would be set up from within the livecd's environment. I did a number of trial installations onto my laptop, only to experience the problems that Marc laid out: edited sources.list file, cryptic messages about scanning the mirrors, etc. A simple warning at the START of the installation to set up networking in the LiveCD environment would have sufficed; however, a better solution would be to detect the absence of networking and stepped the user through network setup! Once the network was set up in the LiveCD environment, I had NO problems.

Yes: let her do it with sudo. Specifically, my suggestion would be to write a brief, secure, shell script that does the poff and pon or whatever. Make sure it resets the PATH, etc, to avoid security risks. Then grant the account of your wife permission to run that script, and only that script, as root. Personally I would just do it with no password check for that particular action. Then you can even create a desktop icon that will run the script so that there is a point and click interface to it. Anyway, the summary: sudo allows *very* fine grained control over what the user is allowed to run. It can be as limited as a single command. That way you only have the one tool, but the account is limited to the small number of actions you want it permitted to do.

You should find it in the universe repository. Converting the songs to ogg will not increase the quality, but if your player doesn't crash doing it, and you don't have another device that you use, then by all means, do it. Support the open source format! Unfortunately, my mp3 player only supports mp3 and wma, so I can't do it myself, unless I want to convert them back again when I load them on my portable player. I bought the thing long before I converted to Linux, and didn't know any better at the time. My next one will surely support ogg.

There are enough differences in the English English and the American English not to mention all of the other areas where English is the official language (not that English is an official language of The United States of America (Spanish is)). Words like spelt are confusing enough, because we say spelled. Words like outta don't exist except in street talk. Needless to say, it is sometimes difficult for people to read the text of others. My advice is to KISS, which in itself is not a well known acronym. Keep is Simple Stupid. Of course, this is severely off topic. Most of the replies in this thread have nothing to do with Kaffeine.

Well, it is hard to tell what may have happened to your system. But it already had Firefox installed. So what you did us causing confusion. I guess I would uninstall the Firefox you downloaded.

Nowhere did it say that lossy compression algorithms are used. The only place they even mention lossy is when taking about jpegs. If a program were to use a lossy algorithm to create a PNG, that file would in fact *not* be a PNG. Maybe you ought to reread that page yourself?

Under Linux many libraries are separately installed, as opposed to Windows where DLLs are in the setup packages. This is a good thing though. Instead of downloading apps manually, use a package manager. Kubuntu seems to use "Adept". Personally, I still like "Synaptic". These are front ends to the "Apt" package manager. You still need to click the update button (which does apt-get update). Use search to find apps. If you manually download a single app you may get stuck with dependencies. If you then install by force the wrong library versions to suit this one app, then you could wreck your system because those libs are incompatible with the rest of your system. So it's best to use a package manager. Managing software this way is much easier than under Windows. If you cannot find the app you need in the Ubuntu repositories, try Debian repositories (with caution, watch out for the package manager's warnings). If all else fails, then you can still build from source.

Most of the people I work with are in North Philadelphia where, indeed Spanish is more prevalent than English -- and I am talking Puerto Rican Spanish, not Castillian nor Mexican. Yo can be a greeting (as in "Yo!, Miguel", a term of endearment, as in "Hey Yo!", or derision, as in "Hey Yo!" (They sound differently, but are spelled the same.

I am running Kubuntu 606 with Amarok 1.39 with the libxine and w32 codecs installed. Also I am patched and updated as of today. I have it set to xine engine with the plugin set to auto.

You're close - but you should be using SYMLINK not NAME (not sure what the "ignore_remove" does) and this makes either ttyUSB0 or whatever the last ttyUSB* device is, /dev/pilot (I don't recall which, but I'm sure you know...). Try using KERNEL=="ttyUSB[13579]" - ie, only the odd ones. Also, the rule you're specifying _should_ already exist in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-symlinks.rules (minus the permissions) -- derek From art.alexion at verizon.net Sat Jul 8 00:29:02 2006 From: art.alexion at verizon.net (Art Alexion) Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2006 20:29:02 -0400 Subject: need help installing firefox In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <200607072029.16095.art.alexion@verizon.net> The firefox download on the Mozilla site actually expands to a working installation.

The foregoing insures that the autoupdating feature of the Firefox program and any extensions which you install work well even when you run Firefox as a regular user.

I had so much frustration with the exact problem that you had that I returned to using a serial sync cable. While connection configuration is a common problem mentioned on the kdepim-users list, it seems that those of us with an Ubuntu 2.6 kernel can do everything suggested and still have problems. BTW, after the initial sync, which takes a very long time via serial cable, serial syncing works flawlessly. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

Perhaps I misunderstood. When you said you installed it with Scalix, I understood that to mean the installing Sendmail was part of installing Scalix. If so, then if you are installing Sendmail as part of a proprietary system, you ought to deal with the vendor for that system.

While it _may_ be based upon qtparted, it's not qtparted. Does it dpescifically say "qtparted"? So far as I remember it does not. At what point of the installation do you get the "no root filesystem"? Is it right after the partitioning stage? If so, then for some reason it doesn't realize that you've defined a / partition. If it's later, then, well, WD has a nice 160 GB hard disk that I can personally recommend! Is there any information that you need to save on that disk? You may want to try to format it outside of the install disk, and see how that goes. In any case, you _should_ have backed anything important up. Which install disk are you using? The LiveCD or the Alternative? If you can, download and try to install the other. I personally had better luck with the Alternative install on a known-buggy machine. On my good machine, they both worked. Lastly, you might want to try to put / on the other HD. Just so you know, it doesn't matter if you install to hda or hdb- I've installed to both with equal success. Good luck.

I'm sure it does - and quite right too - but I'm afraid I'm not clear how this relates to vim7 specifically. Should I infer that vim7 was in dapper's schedule, but missed.

That is a seriously dangerous because X is a server and thus opens your whole system for everyone to enter. That's why its called Xserver. Ubuntu specifically disables graphical root logins specifically for that reason. But, if you really want to, you should just be able copy the /home/user-name/.kde directory to /ro ot/.kde and the settings you created for you user account would then apply to root.

FWIW, I *did* read it, but read the following sentence as "lossy" instead of "losslessly": Quote: 'Compression filters are a way of transforming the image data (losslessly)...' Despite the rest of the page only referring to lossless compression algorithms (Zlib, 7-zip and deflate). Gah. :P Meh, so shoot me. My point still stands about conversion between lossy formats which is what I was originally stating. I misread a document and sited an correct format (namely PNG) as being lossy, when in fact it isn't. To that end, my citation of JPEG still stands - and yes, I *know* you can do lossless editing of JPEG's but that involves expanding them to a lossless format as an intermediate step (whether that's done in memory or on the file system is purely an implementation decision). Apologies for any confusion.

Strangely this means exactly what it says: the file system that /etc/mail/databases is on (usually root - "/") is mounted read only, *or* the directory hierarchy is read only. Check /etc/fstab to make sure root ("/") is mounted read+write AND that the permissions in /etc/mail are sane. Sendmail is particularly anal about file system permissions for very good reasons. The root file system is usually mounted read-only during the initial boot sequence, before init is invoked switches to whatever run level is specified in /etc/inittab. At some point soon after the root file system is remounted read+write. Unless you changed this behaviour, it should be the default. You can check this by simply running "mount" and looking for a line like this: /dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw) "Device" on "mount-point" type "format" ("options") Now, if sendmail is trying to start before the root file system is remounted read+write, OR you have specifically changed the root file system to mount read-only, then sendmail will barf. Similarly, the /etc/mail directory (on my RedHat sendmail servers) has the following permissions: user at host: /etc$ ls -ld mail drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 1 16:42 mail Debian (Ubuntu et al) probably does things a little differently, but you can see at least the owner of the /etc/mail directory has full (rwx) permissions. HTH, James PS - mounting root ("/") read-only is a legitimate security precaution. However, to do this you really need to make sure you know what you're doing and modify the init scripts and/or partition layout so as not to break necessary functionality. For instance, /tmp is usually on the root file system, but nearly everything assumes this is world-writeable. Making /tmp read-only will break lots of stuff, consequently, when building a hardened system with read-only root file system, you would need to move /tmp to it's own partition which is read+write. Another example of "usually-on-root" but will break if read-only is /var [1]. [1] I always put /var and /home on their own partitions and usually run quotas on /tmp etc. Nothing worse than your system going to its knees because the root file system is full. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEsbkgwBHpdJO7b9ERAuE+AKDVs20U/kE4PBGG47j9Hf/K2OGwOwCgoeQV /S1Egm0CllVDsEpoSKTWlR0= =JPQi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From james at grayonline.id.au Mon Jul 10 02:35:10 2006 From: james at grayonline.id.au (James Gray) Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 12:35:10 +1000 Subject: kmail and kde wallet In-Reply-To: <200607092206.01799.karl.vanwynsberghe@telenet.be> References: <200607092206.01799.karl.vanwynsberghe@telenet.be> Message-ID: <44B1BCDE.6060908@grayonline.id.au> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 karl vanwynsberghe wrote: > Hi there, > > Each time i start kmail, i have to enter my password for the kde wallet. > > Is it possible to configure applications (kmail, the wireless assistent,...) > to use the wallet without i have to enter my password each time? > > > Grtzz, Karl The kdewallet uses a master-password by design and I am pretty sure you can't turn that off. You can disable the wallet all together and simply use the "save password in configuration file" option within kmail. How turning off kdewallet might affect other applications in KDE I'm unsure - - I've always just configured kwallet not to prompt me again for my password unless the screen saver kicks in. With that set-up, kmail only prompts you once for the password and then wont do it again unless you close kmail and then the screen saver kicks in after which you start kmail again. Rare (for me at least). Here's a post I made to my local LUG about how to disable kwallet: http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/slug/2006/05/msg00682.html ...and here's the KWallet Handbook which might shed some more light on your specific problem: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdeutils/kwallet/kwallet.pdf http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdeutils/kwallet/index.html Cheers James -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEsbzewBHpdJO7b9ERAv+OAKCEwOml3l0h6mruRB3zDg3tZlAy3gCgsgb7 XY5jXlG13E8+QuAAQ+vcBxI= =5pgK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From jgiles at windowsproof.com Mon Jul 10 03:07:01 2006 From: jgiles at windowsproof.com (Joe Giles) Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2006 21:07:01 -0600 Subject: newbie question...

Just set up ssh on your machine and you can use scp to copy files back and forth. If you are going to be on a Windows machine while you travel, there are free scp clients you can use. Also, for Windows, you can use Putty for general ssh access. If you are behind some kind of broadband router/firewall, you will more than likely need to configure it to forward port 22 to your intermachine's IP address so when you ssh your_ipaddress, it will redirect port 22 traffic (ssh) to your machine. Also, I would check to see if any local iptables rules are in place blocking remote access and alter accordingly. Hope this helps; or at least gets you on your way...

Hello James, I found the error in /etc/network/if-up.d and ../if.-down.d. There are a script "sendmail" and this scipts makes the errors, because he run when the nic ist going ON, and this is to early. So i deleted this scripts and all works. No Messages at Boottime and Sendmail is runing fine. I found this problem in the ubuntu bugtracker (after hours).

OK. Related question. I had a number of flac files that I burned to CD (as cdr), and then converted the flacs to oggs to save HD space. I have since gotten an iPod that doesn't play ogg. I don't mind so much more loss if the ogg is converted to mp3 (or aac) for the ipod only, but don't want to replace the oggs on the hard drive. Does anyone know of a plugin or something that will allow amarok or gtkpod to do this on the fly while uploading to the device? Any other suggestions? It would also be nice for flac files I still have. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

Ron, For the simple case, use ssh as others have said. If you want a more elegant and powerful solution, use NX. With NX, you will be able to work in your normal linux desktop running on your normal machine, from any computer in the world that has an nx client installed and Internet access. NX clients are avaliable for all major platforms for free--I keep a version for each platform on a usb key I carry with me.

I find that I can never open a closed project/file and work with it- every time I open Kdevelop I must create a new project. Also, now when I click New, I specify a directory and a file name, I choose Blank File (the only option there is), but I get no editor window. Only a blank grey window.

It's probably too late now, but I would recommend you learn make and compiling from the command line (unix was built to give you all the power of an IDE and more). Here are some quick notes for next time. gcc and g++ are the C and C++ compilers respectivelly. They pretty much take the same arguments. So, at its most basic, you can call it like this (where ${CC} is the compiler, ${EXECUTABLE} is the name of the executable you want to create, and ${OBJECTFILES} are all the object files you want link together to create the executable) ${CC} -o {EXECUTABLE} ${OBJECTFILES} To create objectfiles, type ${CC} -c ${SOURCEFILE} There are two variables that are used that you might want to know about: CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. CFLAGS are flags that are used by gcc, and CXXFLAGS are used by g++. Once you understand that, you can create the Makefile. Makefiles are basically just rules you create so that the make program nows what to do next. There are two basic rules, variable assignments and targets. So, variable assignments, say you want a specific version of gcc, you can assign it like this CC = gcc-3.3 Targets are stuff you want done. So, TARGET: DEPENDENCY RULES TO CREATE TARGET (You can have multiple dependencies) For instance, myexec: myexec.o ${CC} {CFLAGS} -o myexec myexec.o This means, myexec (TARGET) depends on myexec, it's created by calling ${CC} (whatever that variable is assigned to, by default gcc, if you don't assign it), using CFLAGS. Note that before the ${CC} there is a (very important!). You can also have targets that call shell programs. (${CC} is basically a shell program). For instance, most programs have a clean target: clean: rm -f *.o *~ ${EXECUTABLE} Putting it all together. Create a Makefile that looks like this: ########## CFLAGS = -Wall myexec: myexec.o main.o ${CC} ${CFLAGS} -o myexec myexec.o main.o myexec.o: myexec.c ${CC} ${CFLAGS} -c myexec.c main.o: main.c ${CC} ${CFLAGS} -c main.c clean: rm -f *.o *~ myexec ######### -Wall is a switch for gcc that gives you warnings if you have done something suspect. To compile, just type make and everything will compile for you. It will also only compile stuff that get changed between compiles. So you change something in myexec.c, but not in main.c, then only myexec.c gets compiled before linking. To run any particular rule, give the name of the rule, ie make clean Once you have mastered the basic, you can do some pretty advanced stuff (for instance, combine the object creation instead of having separate rules for each object). Also, once you have mastered Makefiles, you aren't stuck with a particular IDE for a particular language. -- John L.

Message-ID: In Dapper, my laptop fan never turns off after the first few minutes. It is always on. Whereas, in Windows, it rarely comes on. I'm pretty sure that this is because the disk never spins down. In an effort to diagnose the problem, I thought to install laptop-mode. However, # laptop_mode start returns that it is disabled - although not in what way. A look at # cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode returns zero, which I understand means that laptop_mode is switched off in the kernel. I'm using the standard 386 kernel from the CD. Is there any point in moving to the 686 kernel in an effort to fix this? Back to the disk. There's only one active ext3 partition plus swap - all other partitions are noauto. I've tried noatime and commit=600, but to noavail.

You can use Kate as your text-editor and project management, and run the make commands in the embedded terminal in kate. Everytime you want to recompile your code you could just type `make`. I really think you should just fix your install of kdevelop, though. John's method does have the advantage to teaching you the underlying basics, which will prove quite valuable down the road.

Somewhere between Kdevelop 1.x and the current version they switched from using simple "gmake" Makefiles to the full qmake stuff. This confuses the hell out of newbies (like yourself) but us really good if you're collaborating on a large project. Here's the good news: you can still use standard "gmake" makefiles if you want, but you'll be compiling on the command line until you learn the internals of a Kdev project file. Here's a VERY simple Makefile I used for most of the basic programming tasks I did at Uni: CC=gcc PROG=mycprog $(PROG): $(PROG).o $(CC) -o $(PROG) $(PROG).o $(PROG).o: $(PROG).cpp $(CC) -c $(PROG).c clean: rm -f $(PROG) *.o all: $(PROG) proper: clean $(PROG) ALWAYS use tabs in makefiles! So it's: $(PROG):$(PROG).o $(CC).... Save it as "Makefile" in the same directory as your source code. Now edit the "PROG=mycprog" line and replace "mycprog" with the file name of your ".c" file for the assignment without the ".c". Make sense? Now, whenever you edit your file in Kdev, you simply save it, open a command prompt, change to the same directory your assignment is in (Kdev can do this right in the IDE) and type "make" and hit enter. Voila!! You now have an executable called "mycprog" in the same directory as the source. This is a small amount of work for a lot of gains. If you add a header file, "mycprog.h" simply add it to the "$(PROG).o:" as a dependant like this: $(PROG).o: $(PROG).cpp $(PROG).h Now, whenever you edit (and save) the "mycprog.h" file, make will see the change and recompile the object file and relink the executable for you :) Simple huh? Makefiles can save you a LOT of time and the one above is a simple template that only requires you to change one line to run it against a different C project. Googling "gmake" and "Makefile syntax" should help even further :) > I've another day to turn in my C homework.

Well, I doubt that I will be doing things that way for the university, because come test time I won't know the 'right' way (the way we were taught) to do what they want. However, if I do get into some simple development work, I'll be rereading this post. I did patch and compile F-spot not long ago, and I can see where knowing at least the basics is important for even an end user. In any case, I'm in Mechanical Engineering and not CS, so if I do get any deeper into this, then it's for my own fun. Oh, what fun! > Good luck! Thanks.

That's what I did when I briefly played with some C/C++ code. I'll put together a few exercises in Kate + gcc and see how frustrated I get. I really love linux, and especially KDE, and I don't want this little issue to get between us. I'm certain that we could work it out, if we're just patient with each other. And forgiving towards each other. Wait a minute, wrong topic...

I need an editor that I > can compile and run code inside the editor- an IDE in other words. Both emacs and vim lets you call Makefiles inside the editor. Also, note people have written some major programs using these tools. For instance, in emacs I would do this esc x compile (as in, push esc x, then type compile) You will now have the option to call make. The nice thing is make inside emacs will compile it, and you can also jump to any errors in the code (high light the error code, and type Ctrl c c You can also compile your project through the menu (Tools->Compile). And on the error, middle click with the mouse to go to that error. All these are of course dependent on you already written the Makefile. I think the "problem" is (if you want to call it that) is that unix people are so used to the power of the their editors (vim, emacs) that they haven't seen the "need" for an IDE. I did some more googling around, and found this: http://www.anjuta.org/ Never tried it though, so I can't really recommend it. Actually, this site has a list of IDE for C and C++, you might want to check out: http://www.freebyte.com/programming/cpp/#cppcompilers -- John L.

Just put your cursor on the function in question, and type esc x man (or just do esc x man, then type in the function in question) if you run etags on your sources, you can also search for the definition of your custom functions. Say, run etags *.[ch] Now, in emacs, put the cursor on the function in question esc . emacs will take you to the definition of that function emacs also makes it easier to program. Say you want to add a comment in your code esc ; (emacs knows the difference between legal C and C++ comments, so in C this will create /* */, in C++ //, in shell scripts #) Emacs also let you create skeletons for your files. So for instance, when I open a new .c file, everything I usually need are already filled in for me (comments, name, etc etc). Check out my dotemacs file at http://www.fjellstad.org/projects/dotemacs If you backup your .emacs file in your homedirectory and copy this in place, then try to open a .h file or .c file and see the result. The file is pretty well documented, so you could, for instance add a new field for your class name. (and before people complain, yes, I pretty sure you can do the same in vim, it's just that I'm more familiar with emacs). -- John L.

I also installed libxine1c2 hoping it would help, but it did not. I have the system completely updated. I don't know if it would have caused the problem, but I did install amarok 1.4.1 when I first installed Kubuntu.

Try removing ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc and everything in ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok (backup if there is anything you need, like playlists or podcasts etc).

It uses a forced-flush interval of about 30 sec IIRC. In other words, regardless of what is or isn't going on, the ext3 driver forces a sync and hence the hard drive never goes to sleep (neither would you if someone poked you in the ribs every 30 seconds!). Solution, unfortunately, requires reformatting ALL the ext3 partitions with something else. I'd suggest reiserfs as, like ext3, is a journaling file system and is quite mature. I can't remember if jfs and xfs use the same "fixed sync interval" fru-fru like ext3 though, so I'll hold short of recommending them.

And no, I do not want to make it > FAT32 thank you. I'm inclined to agree with you about the FAT32 idea. I've never liked the idea particularly. As for sharing your Linux partitions with Windows using native Linux file systems - you could always use ext2. The only difference between ext2 and ext3 is the latter is a journaling file system. Unless you really need the journal, you don't have to have it; ext2 DOES allow your drives to go to sleep. Until a few more file system drivers are ported to win32 (like xfs, reiferfs, jfs, etc) your only alternatives in this situation are ext2 or FAT32. Obviously FAT32 isn't an option and ext3 will eat your battery for breakfast. > But if that means that the laptops battery life gets seriously affected > (and it should if the disk never stops) then I have to think of another > way.

These cards are for just watching tv, nothing compared to what the PVR-150 is capable of. If you're looking for full recording of programs while watching another, etc then MythTV would be the ticket. I'd suggest some more research to see exactly what every option is available. One example would be building a dedicated box for the living room.

I'd type in shell (bash): LC_ALL=pl_PL ls -l This will run ls with pl_PL locale. What happens is that LC_ALL environment variable is set for the next command. From "man bash": LC_ALL This variable overrides the value of LANG and any other LC_ variable specifying a locale category. You can find more on other locale related variables in "man bash" (search for LC_ALL). This way you can have fine grained control of locale environment, e.g. have numbers displayed in one locale (LC_NUMERIC), messages in another (LC_MESSAGES), etc. Note: bash manual is not complete when it comes to LC_ variables -- search google for more! LC_ALL will do if you want everything to be in one locale (which is typically what people usually want). You can make an alias and have your selected applications always run with specific locale (when run from bash). Edit ~/.bashrc and add something like this: alias make='LC_ALL=en_US make' Open new terminal to try 'make' -- it should be in English from now on :-) Note: .bashrc will change locale for apps run from command line only, so if you run them from some GUI, or K-menu/panel/etc. you might need to modify other places, liked desktop entries or configuration of your IDE.

I was in two minds about going this way, but then decided to jump. And now, I have a little problem :-o Here's the story, so far - moved Kubuntu (on sda3) to a safe place while booted on another partition (sda6) - formatted sda3 as reiserfs - amended both fstabs (sda3 and sda6) - mounted the newly formatted partition - moved the data back onto sda3 - rebooted. Grub currently loads from sda3, or rather it doesn't now. I'm getting an error 17 : Cannot mount selected partition. I'm not overly surprised, but I'm not sure what to do next. I can mount the partition from a live CD without a problem, and I obviously mounted it from my sda6 partition.

I really liked being able choose my resolution and depth when booting off of the Kubuntu 6.06 Live CD. Looks nice when I choose 1280x800 (WXGA laptop display) and whatever color depth is presented to me at that resolution (I forget which one it was - 24 or 32 bits or something). When I boot from my laptop's hard drive, however, it's another story. It looks like it's forcing the display to 1024x768 and the splash logo and the little status bar thing and scrolling startup list are horribly off-center to the left and illegible. Also, booting to a terminal puts the prompt way off kilter (but to the right, of all things) and makes the command line unusable. What setting do I have to tweak to get this to work right? Is it a commandline option in grub? Is it something I have to edit into menu.lst(I've been reading up on this all night and the vga=791 option keeps coming back to me...but that looks like it's intended for 1024x768 - what should I use for 1280x800?). Once X starts, my tweaks to the xorg.conf file take effect and everything looks nice at 1280x800 - it's just the boot/splash screen stuff that remains beyond my reach. This is really the last basic tweak I think I need to do to this laptop to have it working perfectly with Kubuntu 6.06. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hm, this seems to be my problem. When I do type firefox at the command line, I get my 'modified' firefox. But the KDE menu still gives me the standard Fx. I've been able to figure out by googleing the topic that for gnome I would modify .gnomerc, but I can't seem to locate the KDE equivelent. But at least now I have a slight clue. > Have fun! I am!

Add the reiserfs line to /etc/modules then rebuild the initial ram disk (mkinitrd), then move the old one out of the way, and copy the new one in (with the same name as the old one). Reboot and you should be sweet. FWIW, I usually create a 30-50MB partition in ext2 format mounted at /boot - this avoids some problems with different boot loaders. Maybe those problems are historical but it's been a practise that works well for me. > I can mount the partition from a live CD without a problem, and I > obviously mounted it from my sda6 partition. Yup - because the live CD loads the reiserfs module on demand as the kernel is already running and has mounted the /lib. The problem with booting is that it needs the reiserfs module to mount "/", but the module is on "/"...chicken and egg problem. Initial ram disks (initrd) were invented to get around this problem. Usually when you install Ubuntu (and any other Linux distro) the installer adds whatever modules that are needed to mount the root file system for you. If you change the format of the root file system post-installation, you need to modify the initial ram disk yourself.

BTW: you can see a little more running: $ locale On my Fedora box it results in (similarly on my Kubuntu, but with en_GB.UTF-8, where I chose to use British English): $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Additionally it most likely makes sense to setup to locale with the "UTF-8" postfix so that UTF-8 (Unicode) is used. >> You can make an alias and have your selected applications always run >> with specific locale (when run from bash).

It's easy in KDE: right mouse button click on K-menu and choose "Menu Editor". In Menu Editor select shortcut you want to modify and modify "Command" by adding LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 in front of whatever there is already. Don't forget to "Save" your changes after you are done editing menu! It should work from now on.

Like I said earlier in the thread - you can edit the Kdev project file and change it from using qmake to standard gmake+Makefiles. Then in the build menu you see all the targets defined in your project's Makefile. The magic "F8" (IIRC) will trigger a "make" run using the default target. Whatever the magic button, Kdev will show you the compiler output in a panel and if there's problems, clicking on the error/warning in the panel takes you straight to the offending line of code in the editor - very neat. If you're happy to go through the whole "qmake" process, there's no need to modify the project file by hand. Bring back the "simple" project option which used to use Makefiles! - -- James -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEtDXzwBHpdJO7b9ERAosZAJ9gVhlaunksEBAvtWnQTTBz5jm5nwCgtPyO NWb1ZmqxZDfzpiB6G1x27po= =8aP6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From gmane at auxbuss.com Tue Jul 11 23:44:44 2006 From: gmane at auxbuss.com (marc) Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 00:44:44 +0100 Subject: laptop-mode disabled in kernel?

Reboot and you should be sweet. Cool. I'll check.

Yup, I know, and maybe I should, but I'm on a bit of a crusade to get Linux into the real world, and all this "olde worlde" Linux stuff is precisely what I'm avoiding.

I removed them. And I manually added the following lines: in Section "Monitor": Option "DPMS" Section "ServerLayout": Option "OffTime" "5" Still I don't know who corrupted this file. I'm not sure if it was KDE at all... Wait, now I am. I just edited the offtime via the display settings (in admin mode) and xorg.conf is corrupted again. Well, this is kind of annoying. btw: Is there any way of generating a fresh and working xorg.conf somehow, like dpkg --configure ?

These days - not much to be gained. The old days it was necessary to have a boot partition before 1024th cylinder on the disk, otherwise the boot loader couldn't find the kernel (Linux 2.0 with lilo at the time). About the same time the 2.2 kernel arrived, the lilo developers improved their code and the 1024th cylinder barrier disappeared. The only (modern) benefits, IMHO, in having a separate boot partition are: 1. You can mount it read-only without having to mount your entire "/" read-only. This can have security benefits as it prevents anyone modifying the boot-stuff unless they remount the partition read+write. Although the circumstances that would lead to this scenario are certainly a "corner-case". 2. It avoids the problems associated with accidentally filling up the root partition. If you decide to keep installing kernels and never deleting them, you'll chew up a lot of space pretty quickly. However most of the kernel's "size" is actually in it's modules, which are in /lib/modules (which is usually on the root partition) - so there's precious little to be gained here too. 3. It allows you to use a simple file system (like ext2) for the boot process which is usually compiled directly into the kernel. So, if you have a problem during the boot sequence, you can at least load a basic "bootstrap" from /boot (assuming you have some static-binary tools in your initrd). In short, it's more historical than anything else, although some modern distro's create one by default (RedHat, I'm looking at you). If you want to do things "old school" then /boot should probably be between 30-50MB these days, which will comfortably hold a number of 2.6 kernels, and a metric butt-load of 2.4 kernels :). Hope that explains it little Cheers, James -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEtKuUwBHpdJO7b9ERAoMyAJ9XIqyd2ioElzFfPh5TnRyWdPJzWACgyFdT OEUhh0PH/1Ujt2Pp5wLZLPE= =zOfb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From o.sinclair at gmail.com Wed Jul 12 08:13:07 2006 From: o.sinclair at gmail.com (O.

Not really. Journaling file systems don't all behave like ext3. Most only sync when necessary (reiserfs/jfs/xfs/etc). AFAIK it's only ext3 that has this constant synchronisation thing. In which case it should be specifically avoided for laptops.

I agree with you totally. What I've been doing is creating a new project, then over-writing the generated qmake-based project file with an old one created from a previous version of kdev. This old project file has been stripped of all project-specific data and simply has the framework and variables needed to use an old-fashioned gmake Makefile. It's klunky and buggy, but it works and I haven't found ANY way to do this directly from the IDE. Grrrr.

I don't know Norton Ghost at all but after what i heard with a norton ghost image you can install several machines with +/- different hardware configurations (not sure about this feature)? Partimage does not have this feater it only creates a *copy* a an existing file system. Its quite fast and can store the image everywhere. By the way the partition you'd like to backup needs to be *unmounted*. So what i do is Boot from ubuntu live cd install partimage launch partimage and backup/restore on/from external hd over usb Cheers -- Andy From guido.dom at gmail.com Wed Jul 12 16:10:46 2006 From: guido.dom at gmail.com (guido dom) Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 18:10:46 +0200 Subject: good CD ripper for Kubuntu...

I haven't tried it because it is limited to 2 registered users, and two concurrent users as well. That isn't enough for my needs, so I use FreeNX. 1. You need to install FreeNX and knx ( `sudo apt-get install FreeNX knx` ) 2. You should have a high port for ssh, not the default of 22. This stops amateur ssh login attacks against you computer. NX doesn't depend on this non-standard port, but it will use an ssh port, so it is good to set this up now. `sudo nano /etc/ssh/ssh_cong` and `sudo nano /etc/sshd_config`. In both those files, change the ssh from port 22 to port XXXX where XXXX is a high number. Make sure you open port XXXX in any firewall you have! These changes will go into effect when you reboot or ottherwise restart ssh (don't have access to kubuntu box right now, try `sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart` or stop, then start. Anyhow, you also need to make sure that /etc/nxserver/node.conf has port XXXX as your ssh port. There are also other options in there, so read that file to get familiar with what is possible. 3. Run `sudo nxsetup --setup-nomachine-key` Do nxsetup --help to make sure I got that switch correct. This sets up the security with nomachines default key, not the most secure way, but good enough for trial and experimentation. 4. Knx is a KDE nx client. I don't like it, and don't use it, but it is nice to have installed. Download and install the Debian/Ubuntu client from nomachine.com 5. Remember to specify your new port of XXXX in nxclient when you are making a new connection. `nxserevr` controls the server, so `nxserver restart`, `nxserver --list` `nxserver --history`, `nxserver --terminate john`, etc. HTH, Mark From marktaff at comcast.net Wed Jul 12 18:06:21 2006 From: marktaff at comcast.net (Mark A.

I use partimage from a live CD, usually Knoppix. Ironically I had trouble restoring Linux, but it worked fine to restore Windows 2000. I don't know why that was, but the OS was back within 15 mins. I had the impression that Ghost 4 Linux only does backups over a network and not locally. Is that so? I do not have a home network, and my upstream bandwidth is only 196kbps, so I would need 24+ hours to backup my OS. I prefer a DVD (off-site DVD backup means mailing an encrypted copy to a friend), although FTP backup would be good when upstream connections are faster.

So far I am pretty happy with it. The whole interface is much faster and responsive than gnome. Especially the app that I am running through Crossover Office. I have a few questions on behavior that I found in gnome and don't know how to do in KDE. 1.- Startup commands. How do I execute a command every time I start my KDE session? In gnome, you can add it in System>Preferences>Sessions>Startup Programs. I tried looking around the System Settings in KDE but couldn't find it. 2.- USB flash drive mounting. When I connect my USB flash drive, both gnome and KDE mount it automatically and show an icon on the desktop with the name of the device (fat formatted). However, when gnome the drive was actually mounted to /media/nameofdrive and in KDE it is mounted to /media/sdb1. The reason I care is that I have some scripts that check for /media/nameofdrive, and they now fail. Of course I could change them to check for /media/sdb1 but then I have to be careful of first connecting the USB flash drive, then the ipod, etc. Seems like half a solution to me. [ I just thought about something: When I installed Kubuntu on top of my Ubuntu, I also was prompted to install many security updates, among them a new kernel 2.6.15.26. Could this be the source of the new behavior and not KDE?] Thanks for the help, -- Ylan "We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are."

The server "NodeView 2.0.3" is still running. I made some changes to the configure-script. There were some hardcoded paths. For more details to the server .. just ask Wink But the problem now is the client-tool "opkdekiosk2.0.6". I tried to install it on a fresh Kubuntu 6.06. My steps: 1. ./configure (it works) 2. make (also no problems) 3. make install (this step aborted with the following error-message): ---- 1 /usr/bin/install -c -p -m 644 ./kioskclientrc /usr/local/kde/share/config/kioskclientrc 2 /usr/bin/install: reguläre Datei "/usr/local/kde/share/config/kioskclientrc" kann nicht angelegt werden: No such file or directory 3 make[3]: *** [install-data-local] Fehler 1 4 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/michael/tools/opkdekiosk-2.0.6/opkdekiosk/kiosksetup' 5 make[2]: *** [install-am] Fehler 2 6 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/michael/tools/opkdekiosk-2.0.6/opkdekiosk/kiosksetup' 7 make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Fehler 1 8 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/michael/tools/opkdekiosk-2.0.6/opkdekiosk' 9 make: *** [install-recursive] Fehler 1 ---- For testing purposes i've done a "mkdir config" manually (/usr/local/kde/share/config). Then i've done a "make install" and there were no errors. But at the end the client "opkdekiosk" does not work. I could start the tool, but i couldn't save any preferences (server-ip-address, client-name ...). I tried it also with "./configure --prefix=/usr". But that also doesnt solve the problem. I found the config-dir in my home dir "/home/michael/.kde/share/config" Do i have to install tools like this in my personal .kde-dir ? I think there are some Kubuntu-specific-paths that are not implemented in this installation of opkdekiosk. now ... i need your help. greetings, webray -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I haven't done Breezy -> Dapper, but I have done Warty->Hoary->Breezy, and I have one more suggestion. Even if you are doing your upgrade with apt, I'd download the installation CD and burn it and replace the Breezy CD in your sources list with the new Breezy CD. It seems to make the uploads go smoother and decreases downloads during the upgrade. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

Right after I've installed kubuntu dapper release I noticed a strange problem with kdesu. When I run adept, some times nothing happens, the kdesu dialog does not show up. The same happen when I enter in, for example, System settings -> network settings and click the button to gain admiistrative privileges. That is a intermittent problem, some times happens sometimes (mostly) dont. It happens with anything that runs kdesu to elevate privileges. Does anyone here got a similar problem? regards Carlos Barros -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I see. Follow up question (for a workaround): What command can I use to obtain the name of a fat volume? makedosfs lets you specify a volume name when creating a new file system, but I can't find how to read the volume name of an existing file system. I figure that my script can check all /media/sbdXX for the name I am looking for and use the one that matches. Ugly workaround, but beats having to change the sdb each time I run it!

In my case it was a corrupted partition table, so the partitions could not be mounted conventionally. I had an 60GB IBM hard drive to die but before it died completely (making very disturbing noises, which you never want to hear from a HD) I managed to make a copy using dd. Unfortunately the copy was corrupted due to I/O errors on the dying disk. There was no way to mount copied image, it was way too corrupted, but Foremost helped me retrieve quite a few files I needed.

Running "top" did not show anything major running, but the hard disk activity is very brief, just often. Looking at "ps -aux" I started to kill processes. Eventually, I find that the excessive hard drive activity can be switched off by killing the six processes:- hald-addon-acpi hald-addon-keyboard hald-addon-storage hald-addon-storage hald-addon-storage hald-addon-storage I am assuming that the hardware abstraction layer daemon is concerned with testing to see if any new devices are added such as USB items.

I have dialup. estimated time to upgrade was on the order of 5 days. So I wait for the CD. The CD wants to overwrite my machine, so I spent 4 days attempting to backup, just in case - don't ask, big hassle, should have done it yonks ago anyway. So I go to install, and it now says it will take 3 days.... At this point I have no choice. 3 days later it finishes... but no! it does not boot into KDM (or gdm) and there is no KDE installed, though startx produces a gnome install, with most stuff missing. Reinstalling Kubuntu-desktop takes another day or 2 and lots of fiddling reinstalling open office - lots of uninstalled/broken packages... including gksu - kinda important, really... here is what I find disappointing. the CD had no upgrade path the CD did not have repositories for KDE, Linux kernel or even Xorg - the 3 biggest items I had to download and install still, it mostly works now...

I looked at the Kmail manual included with Dapper and it includes a lot of good information on PGP. I suspect that the relevent quote is likely to be: "KMail will not encrypt messages with an untrusted (unsigned) public key: if you want to encrypt to such a key you should check the identity of the key owner and only then sign the key with your secret key; if you do not want to or cannot check the identity of the key owner but nevertheless want to encrypt the message then please sign the key locally with gpg --lsign keyID."

Please don't top-post--it makes life difficult for us. Thanks. 192kbps is *far* from cd quality. CD quality, when losslessly compressed like flac is in the ballpark of 650kbps to 900kbps. Hard drive space is cheap, why not just rip to flac? As for the quality, `man lame` then use that info to set the quality for mp3 encoding in KAudioCreator's encoder->configure dialog.

I like News Rover's ability to recognize split files (i.e. file.001, .002, etc) as one file, and knowing how to join them, whereas Pan sees them as individual files that have to be manually joined later. News Rover also can uncompress RAR archives inside the newsreader, and clean up afterwards. It also uses PAR files to repair damaged files where necessary. News Rover runs acceptably enough in WINE, although the tweaks I had to use have it running in every desktop. I'd really prefer a Linux native newsreader that does these things. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Very annoying when reading reports in email whereby I must open a dozen URLs in the background. Also, the the firefox interface switched to English.

My scheme has been to have one /u partition which has all my personal stuff. If that could be some format shared by Linux and BSD it would be great (maybe one of the newer ones like Reiser is supported by both OSes), but I've only switched OSes twice, by tar'ing and untar'ing my stuff into an OS-specific format. Anyway, each OS has / of about 150 MB which is big enough for my /var and other root needs. I have a script which saves a compressed copy of / to some file in /u so I can just back up /u . My home directories (including a copy of /root) are all under /u (probably could have used /home but like to keep it away from installer scripts).

I hope things have > improved, but you might want to do a good diff test. FreeBSD 4.11, 5.x, and 6.x can all access ext2 filesystems without issues, and can mount clean ext3 filesystems as ext2. Pre-6.0 systems have a shutdown bug where the system won't cleanly shutdown if there are mounted ext2 filesystems. Linux systems should be able to mount UFS1 filesystems without issue. You'll need a very up-to-date set of mount tools in order to reliably mount UFS2 partitions (default on FreeBSD 5.3+), though. Both can be mounted using "mount -t ufs". ---- Freddie Cash, LPCI-1 CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.

You normally don't need to mount a samba share to access files on it, just use the "smb:/" url but I do like to mount some that I use a lot or need to use from CLI so you need it. smbmount is in the smbfs package.

From flac, you can easily make mp3 or ogg versions to suit your future needs. This way, you only have to rip once. To go from flac to ogg use oggiy & goggify.

I too have been having a problem with a ASF stream and I just got it working. Let me outline my experience and maybe it will help others. I use Kaffeine to play the stream and the video would be perfect but the audio was either non-existent or would burst out a noise occasionally. When the stream was playing if I selected Player->Track Information, the audio portion would say "Windows Media Audio v2 (ffmpeg)". I then when to Settings->xine Engine Parameters and then click on engine in the left scroll window and then click on the "Expert Options" tab. I then scrolled down and set "decoder_priorities.ffmpegaudio" to -1. Now when I select Player->Track Information, the audio portion says "Windows Media Audio v2 (win32)" and it works properly. I can't say that this will work in every case, but it certainly works for me on two separate machines. I hope that it helps someone else. -- Kelly L.

Or perhaps more importantly, how can I get it to see other partition types properly... Actually, while we are on the topic, way back in win3.11/dos5 times I encountered a program that could read and write pretty much any disk format available at that time... tape, mac, amiga, commodor, the lot, including a whole bunch of really obscure ones that I'd never heard of. I can understand that one might have trouble with NTFS, being a closed source format, but why is there even an issue with other open source formats??? surely there is a library for accessing each or multiple disk formats? Given that software existed 15 years ago that essentially allowed acces to several dozen existing commercial formats, is there such a project (perhaps sourceforge?) that doeswhat seems like a straightforward and usefull task - preferably without the user ever knowing they are being tricky! -- Dr Paul van den Bergen Chance favours the prepared mind From rcb at digitalanswers.biz Sat Jul 15 12:25:30 2006 From: rcb at digitalanswers.biz (Rick Chagouri-Brindle) Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2006 13:25:30 +0100 Subject: good CD ripper for Kubuntu...

About the accesses, though, they will depend on the file system that you are using, and the options that it was mounted with. For example, an ext3 file system will write to the journal every 30 seconds, no matter what the system is doing. All file systems will update inodes if atime is enabled in the mount options (this is most likely what you are seeing). The only place this really makes a difference is in a laptop environment where it would be really nice for the drive to spin down for power savings when it is not in use. To reduce the number of writes, I would recommend using reiserfs partitions mounted with the noatime flag on a laptop. This will allow the drive to spin down when it is not in use. AFAIK, only a few programs such as Mutt use the atime flags for anything. -Matt PS, I'm headed out on vacation for 2 weeks, so I won't receive any replies to this email.

This is where you configure what "wpasupplicant config file" you use now: In the /etc/network/interfaces file add: auto ath0 iface ath0 inet dhcp wpa-driver madwifi wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpasupplicant.conf there is no more /etc/default/wpasupplicant OR /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant startup script.

But at least the wireless finally works. Using a NetGear WG511 (does not mention version on the card, it's made in China). In general terms, I did the following and it seems to work automagically now: 1) put the module prism54 in black list so it is not loaded 2) go to ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net, download card driver, set up ndiswrapper (create conf files) 3) put ndiswrapper in list of modules to be loaded 4) set up a /etc/wpasupplicant.conf (like the others mentioned in this thread) 5) in /etc/network/interfaces, I have wlan0 as follows: *quote* auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp pre-up /sbin/wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Bw post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant *unquote* This may be overkill, I just gathered info from many places and tried all combos until something worked. If you have any suggestions for something simpler, I'm all ears!

Ubuntu's practices should ensure that there's never a situation where you have a security archive with the same version as the default archive, so pinning shouldn't matter. -- derek From thcsp at online.no Sun Jul 16 20:59:53 2006 From: thcsp at online.no (Thomas Sperre) Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2006 22:59:53 +0200 Subject: X.org stalls - problems with NVIDIA graphics driver? Message-ID: <200607162259.54163.thcsp@online.no> When I installed Dapper, I wanted to enable the graphics acceleration that should be possible with my graphics card so I installed NVIDIA driver. I like eyecandy, and I have enabled shadows etc using «Composite» in xorg.conf. Also, from the list of screensavers, I selected some that used some fancy OpenGL effects. All these 3D enabled effects seem to work just nice in the beginning; but fail after some time, usually ~30-40 minutes but can be much more and sometimes less. I use partial transparency for the windows that don't have focus, and shadows for all the menus and windowframes. As with the screensaver, this seems to work just fine until at some point the rendering goes extremely slow. It is faster than with the screensaver, but still painfully slow. We are talking maybe a frame a second. Sometimes when I select a menu or open a window only the shadow behind is rendered and then have to wait wait wait wait for content and then frame to appear. Even closing all active windows before logging out thereby restarting X is sometimes so slow I am starting to use the less gentle Ctrl-Alt-Backspace keycombination to restart X.

I just found out I needed to upgrade 69 packages after changing the pin priority for dapper-security to 999, so it seems the packages wasn't being upgraded, even though their version numbers were higher than the installed version.

The nvidia module works ok with the standard X glx driver, but you lose many features an performance, which seems to what you are experiencing. To check this look for a file in you home directory called .xsession_errors. You can run grep on this to find any references to GLX with the following command; grep -i glx .xsession_errors This should offer you some clues. To make sure that nvidia-glx is installed run; sudo apt-get nvidia-glx To enable the driver, run sudo nvidia-glx-config enable Hope this helps -- Do I have a lifestyle yet?

I have tried looking at this : Found file called .xsession-errors (dash not underscore) it was rather long, but grepping as suggested provided no clue, empty return.

My problem was that the remote bluetooth device was not binding to my laptop automatically. I did a manual bind and all was working. In your case you can try $ sudo rfcomm bind 0 00:12:37:9D:3C:53 1 and then try using kpp. For me it was not working with kpp too. I think it was user rights problem. Then I got it to working using wvdial. My wvdial.conf looks like this # Start wvdial.conf file [BluetoothMobile] Modem = /dev/rfcomm0 Baud = 115200 SetVolume = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Init1 = ATE1 Init2 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","WWW" # This is specific to my Hutch GPRS connection here in India FlowControl = CRTSCTS [Dialer GPRS] Username = user Password = user Phone = *99***1# Stupid Mode = 1 Inherits = BluetoothMobile # End wvdial.conf file And then I used to do $sudo wvdial GPRS.

Same here. Also, I don't have my computer hooked up to a good stereo with good speakers. With audio, as with most things, the "chain is only as strong as the weakest link" and there is no point is pumping studio quality sound through my little computer speakers. So, I burn flac to lossless CDA to play on superior systems, and convert the flacs on the HD to mp3 to load on my ipod and to accommodate a balance between disc space and the computer sound system. If I need lossless again, I can rip the CD that I burnt. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

If you just move all the conf files out of the way, it should find all the security packages. -- derek From john-ubuntu at fjellstad.org Mon Jul 17 19:52:18 2006 From: john-ubuntu at fjellstad.org (John L Fjellstad) Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2006 21:52:18 +0200 Subject: Multiple network configuration References: <200607131119.13642.pfrancq@ulb.ac.be> <877j2cu7oa.fsf@fjellstad.org> <200607170959.27979.pfrancq@ulb.ac.be> Message-ID: <874pxg57rh.fsf@fjellstad.org> Pascal Francq writes: > I have configure the ppp interface and now I can access to the network > from home (ADSL) or at the office (ethernet).

In your /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider file (or whatever file you use to dial out with), there is an option called defaultroute. Comment this in (remove the # if it's there). This will set the routing table to use your new ADSL connection when you dial out. -- John L.

Not in preferences, but kubuntu sets up a default repository in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99release But according to the apt_preferences(5), it should have updated without me changing the pin priority for dapper-security, and this is what happens on my Debian stable system. Wonder if there is a bug in the dpkg system on my Kubuntu. Have you gotten any updated packages lately from dapper-security? These are the packages that got updated when I changed the pin priority for dapper-security to 999: [UPGRADE] binutils 2.16.1cvs20060117-1ubuntu2 -> 2.16.1cvs20060117-1ubuntu2.1 [UPGRADE] binutils-static 2.16.1cvs20060117-1ubuntu2 -> 2.16.1cvs20060117-1ubunt u2.1 [UPGRADE] firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.3-0ubuntu3 -> 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.4-0ubuntu6.06 [UPGRADE] gimp 2.2.11-1ubuntu3 -> 2.2.11-1ubuntu3.1 [UPGRADE] gimp-data 2.2.11-1ubuntu3 -> 2.2.11-1ubuntu3.1 [UPGRADE] gimp-svg 2.2.11-1ubuntu3 -> 2.2.11-1ubuntu3.1 [UPGRADE] gnupg 1.4.2.2-1ubuntu2 -> 1.4.2.2-1ubuntu2.1 [UPGRADE] kate 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] kcontrol 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] kdebase-bin 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] kdebase-data 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] kdebase-doc-html 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] kdebase-kio-plugins 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] kdepasswd 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] kdeprint 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] kdesktop 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] kdm 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] kfind 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] khelpcenter 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] kicker 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] klipper 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] kmenuedit 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] konqueror 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] konqueror-nsplugins 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] konsole 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] ksmserver 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] ksplash 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] ksysguard 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] ksysguardd 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] kwin 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] libfreetype6 2.1.10-1ubuntu2 -> 2.1.10-1ubuntu2.1 [UPGRADE] libfreetype6-dev 2.1.10-1ubuntu2 -> 2.1.10-1ubuntu2.1 [UPGRADE] libgd2-noxpm 2.0.33-2ubuntu5 -> 2.0.33-2ubuntu5.1 [UPGRADE] libgimp2.0 2.2.11-1ubuntu3 -> 2.2.11-1ubuntu3.1 [UPGRADE] libkonq4 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu26 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 [UPGRADE] libmysqlclient15off 5.0.21-3ubuntu1 -> 5.0.22-0ubuntu6.06 [UPGRADE] libnspr4 2:1.firefox1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.3-0ubuntu3 -> 2:1.firefox1.5.dfsg+1 .5.0.4-0ubuntu6.06 [UPGRADE] libnss3 2:1.firefox1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.3-0ubuntu3 -> 2:1.firefox1.5.dfsg+1. 5.0.4-0ubuntu6.06 [UPGRADE] libpq4 8.1.3-4 -> 8.1.4-0ubuntu1 [UPGRADE] libsmbclient 3.0.22-1ubuntu3 -> 3.0.22-1ubuntu3.1 [UPGRADE] libtiff-tools 3.7.4-1ubuntu3 -> 3.7.4-1ubuntu3.1 [UPGRADE] libtiff4 3.7.4-1ubuntu3 -> 3.7.4-1ubuntu3.1 [UPGRADE] libtunepimp2c2a 0.3.0-9.1ubuntu3 -> 0.3.0-9.1ubuntu3.1 [UPGRADE] libxine-main1 1.1.1+ubuntu2-7 -> 1.1.1+ubuntu2-7.2 [UPGRADE] linux-restricted-modules-common 2.6.15.11-1 -> 2.6.15.11-3 [UPGRADE] linux-source-2.6.15 2.6.15-23.39 -> 2.6.15-26.44 [UPGRADE] login 1:4.0.13-7ubuntu3 -> 1:4.0.13-7ubuntu3.2 [UPGRADE] mutt 1.5.11-3ubuntu2 -> 1.5.11-3ubuntu2.1 [UPGRADE] mysql-common 5.0.21-3ubuntu1 -> 5.0.22-0ubuntu6.06 [UPGRADE] nvidia-glx 1.0.8762+2.6.15.11-1 -> 1.0.8762+2.6.15.11-3 [UPGRADE] nvidia-kernel-source 1.0.8762+2.6.15.11-1 -> 1.0.8762+2.6.15.11-3 [UPGRADE] openoffice.org 2.0.2-2ubuntu12 -> 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 [UPGRADE] openoffice.org-base 2.0.2-2ubuntu12 -> 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 [UPGRADE] openoffice.org-calc 2.0.2-2ubuntu12 -> 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 [UPGRADE] openoffice.org-common 2.0.2-2ubuntu12 -> 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 [UPGRADE] openoffice.org-core 2.0.2-2ubuntu12 -> 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 [UPGRADE] openoffice.org-draw 2.0.2-2ubuntu12 -> 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 [UPGRADE] openoffice.org-impress 2.0.2-2ubuntu12 -> 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 [UPGRADE] openoffice.org-java-common 2.0.2-2ubuntu12 -> 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 [UPGRADE] openoffice.org-kde 2.0.2-2ubuntu12 -> 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 [UPGRADE] openoffice.org-l10n-en-us 2.0.2-2ubuntu12 -> 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 [UPGRADE] openoffice.org-math 2.0.2-2ubuntu12 -> 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 [UPGRADE] openoffice.org-writer 2.0.2-2ubuntu12 -> 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 [UPGRADE] passwd 1:4.0.13-7ubuntu3 -> 1:4.0.13-7ubuntu3.2 [UPGRADE] ppp 2.4.4b1-1ubuntu3 -> 2.4.4b1-1ubuntu3.1 [UPGRADE] python-uno 2.0.2-2ubuntu12 -> 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 [UPGRADE] samba-common 3.0.22-1ubuntu3 -> 3.0.22-1ubuntu3.1 [UPGRADE] smbclient 3.0.22-1ubuntu3 -> 3.0.22-1ubuntu3.1 [UPGRADE] ttf-opensymbol 2.0.2-2ubuntu12 -> 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 -- John L.

So, what you do is copy the one you are using (do a uname -r to see which one you are using) into your linux source directory (I would add yourself into the src group to make the following easier). Install fglrx-kernel-source, xorg-driver-fglrx and any other drivers from the restricted modules you might need. Install build-essentials, kernel-package, and libqt3-mt-dev, fakeroot Unpack the fglrx-kernel-source in /usr/src and all the other modules. It's important that you are unpacking in /usr/src, so that when you build the kernel, the system know where to look for the modules. Copy the config file from /boot to your source, naming it .config Do a make oldconfig Answer all the questions for the new modules that have come up. Do a make xconfig to make any changed you need to do Issue the following command to actually actually build the kernel package the debian way in /usr/src/linux-: fakeroot make-kpkg --revision 5: \ --append-to-version - kernel_image kernel_doc modules_image There will now be 2+ debian packages in /usr/src, kernel-image-.deb, kernel-doc-.deb and all the modules you built. Install with sudo dpkg -i *.deb There are more information in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz. (also the rational for using 5: in the --revision argument). -- John L.

I would think composite is a dead end, considering so much work is being done to get the functionality into the X-server.

I've tried to make debs of 2.6.17 by downloading the sources from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/base/linux-image-2.6.17-5-686 Is that a good path to follow ? What I've found is that it needed, to install, a newer modutils than the one I have, so I droped that path. How should I solve that ? (I really don't want to switch to a fully unstable distro).

The glx update alters symlinks to point to the correct glx libraries, it should not touch the xorg.conf file. IMHO :). That error just means that the file was not changed. However it should have done the other stuff for you anyway. If you are using transparency and such as other have suggested, there is a development sever Xgl that does this very nicely and much more stably. There is some good documentation available to help you convert to this.

If you don't want so, but still want to get the configuration file from that kernel to build your own, you can do this: - Download the package with apt-get with the -d flag in order not to install it - Copy it fom /var/cache/apt/archives/ to wherever you want to - Extract the archives with dpkg -x; you can find the config file in a boot directory inside where you have extracted it To build your own kernel, you can download the linux-source-2.6.17 package from edgy and proceed to make the debs. This sources include the ubuntu patches. I don't know what patches are these, but I suppose they must be useful. You can also download the vanilla kernel from www.kernel.org.

Hmm... I'm almost certain I didn't create it, but when I did a dpkg -S on the file, there are no packages claiming responsibility for it (although it might not mean much, if it go created in the post-installation script). Still, from what I gather from the apt_preferences man pages, given two archives A and B, where A has priority 500 and B priority 900, and package x has a higher version in archive A than archive B (and higher version that the version installed), then the package should have been upgraded. It wasn't in my place. I might install an old package to see if I can reproduce the problem. -- John L.

The glx update alters symlinks to point to the correct glx libraries, it should not touch the xorg.conf file. IMHO :). That error just means that the file was not changed. However it should have done the other stuff for you anyway. If you are using transparency and such as other have suggested, there is a development sever Xgl that does this very nicely and much more stably. There is some good documentation available to help you convert to this.

If you don't want so, but still want to get the configuration file from that kernel to build your own, you can do this: - Download the package with apt-get with the -d flag in order not to install it - Copy it fom /var/cache/apt/archives/ to wherever you want to - Extract the archives with dpkg -x; you can find the config file in a boot directory inside where you have extracted it To build your own kernel, you can download the linux-source-2.6.17 package from edgy and proceed to make the debs. This sources include the ubuntu patches. I don't know what patches are these, but I suppose they must be useful. You can also download the vanilla kernel from www.kernel.org.

But the packages generated by linux-soulce-2.6.17 depend on a newer version of modutils than the one provided with Dapper.

YES, they are slooooow. Hi Nigel, Can you provide us with these HDDs models, etc? I think it's pretty safe to enable DMA, 'coz for 2G+ models UDMA33 already worked, almost for each one.

Message-ID: Hi All, One of the things that I have always found frustrating with computers, and especially when one starts with a new OS or programming language, is the mismatch between knowing something is possible and how to do it. for example, man or info pages give detailed instructions on how to configure a program. Alabi they do assume you know already what the terms all mean, but still it's useful. Howto documents tell you how to achieve a certain thing - usually in specific detail. between teh two I see a big need. A reverse lookup table, listing by function, all the programs that could be appropriate with a description of what they do (a many to many list, as it were) e.g. say I want to construct a firewall, man -k firewall would not necessarily help me or give me good knowledge about all my options. A google for HOWTOs would be more usefull, but may be application specific. Say I want to look at setting up a firewall and don't quite know what I want to use or have it do. It would be nice to have a place I can look up firewall as a service and see a list of all the programs that perform that service and what their range of functionality is (and perhaps a list of related terms - though this would become obvious from context soon enough)... does such a thing exist?

Less. hdparm Use this command (find option in manpage) to show hd info, which should tell you whether the thing supports DMA. In any case, the obvious way to see if it works is to try it. Then if it seems to work, develop a good test for it.

They do the same thing (except >> man -k is a lot easier to type). > Doh! I guess I never learned that because "apropos" is easier to > type (honestly :-) ). The other nice thing about doing it with man, is that you start to use the other options, like "man -f " that lists all the man pages with in the name, along with a short description (useful if you know the name of the command, but it has man pages in multiple sections and you aren't sure which section you need). This gives the same results as running "whatis". Or "man -a " which will show you all the man pages with in the name, one after the other (like reading a book with chapters). Man is a very useful tool (I'll never understand why the GNU people decided it needed to be replaced, or how they came up with info as a replacement). Examples: $ man -k mail mailaddr (7) - mail addressing description mailcap (5) - metamail capabilities file mailcap.order (5) - the mailcap ordering specifications mailmail (1) [mailmail2.3] - Twisted sendmail compatibility script mailmail2.3 (1) - Twisted sendmail compatibility script mailname (5) - the visible mail name of the system mailq (1) - Postfix to Sendmail compatibility interface mailshar (1) - GNU sharutils mailstat (1) - shows mail-arrival statistics mailx (1) - send and receive mail $ man -f mail mail (1) - send and receive mail Mail (1) - send and receive mail $ man -a mail ---- Freddie Cash, LPCI-1 CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.

There is a command line tool too, to start and stop services at boot up time -> rcconf. Useful if you are managing remote machines and only have an SSH access to it.

Suddenly the screen freezes and then icons, texts, menus etc redraw really slowly. .... ctrl + alt + backspace.... I've tried every solution available at linux forums over the net but none actually worked. It's true that changing "vesa" for "ati" in xorg.conf solves the problem. However, that solutions is unsatisfactory, since the vesa device performance is not as good as ati (and screen fonts become larger). I've already tried the following without success: 1. updated everything, kernel, kde etc (adept) 2. installed ati device from vendor 3. disabled "Load "dri" " in xorg.conf 4. added "noapic noacpi" to boot 5. disabled wireless network 6. re-installed distro 3 times...

As such, I am reading about a lot of problems with Dapper, and am hesitant to upgrade. Breezy is currently working fine and I don't have time to fix things that don't translate well in the upgrade. What is the consensus? Have most apt dist-upgrades gone well -- without a lot of re-tuning -- or have there been things to fix before getting back into business? -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

There are two ways to do this. 1. make links to commands in your ~/.kde/Autostart/ directory 2. get apps that you want running each time you start and save the session. KDE will load that session everytime you start. (By default, Kubuntu saves the current session every time you exit. You have to disable this in kcontrol to explicitly save sessions.) -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

I want to make new_user not have a password at all so I can su into that account with typing a password.

The meta package just makes sure you have the latest available kernel. They are also used for transition, eg the firefox package was called "mozilla-firefox" but was renamed to "firefox" so the "mozilla-firefox" package is just a meta package that installs the firefox package, you can then remove "mozilla-firefox" package and keep firefox. You can remove them when ever you want as they don't really do anything on their own, they just depend on other packages.

As such, I am reading about a lot of problems with Dapper, and am hesitant to upgrade. Breezy is currently working fine and I don't have time to fix things that don't translate well in the upgrade. What is the consensus? Have most apt dist-upgrades gone well -- without a lot of re-tuning -- or have there been things to fix before getting back into business? -- Art, I used a laptop that I upgraded from Breezy to Dapper in the early stages of development, Flight 3 or 4 and also a laptop I built from scratch for Dapper dual booting Windows XP on both of them and my ride has been surprisingly easy with very little complaints.

I'm not sure about 2 & 4. looking at what is listed as started at boot at various runtime levels did not give me a clear idea what is going on, but it did occur to me that if a device is not required, starting it would not necessarily suceed??? so perhaps start at boot really means try to start at boot... just speculating out loud waiting for someone who knows something to chime in :-) -- Dr Paul van den Bergen Chance favours the prepared mind From gabpaul at melbpc.org.au Fri Jul 21 01:19:44 2006 From: gabpaul at melbpc.org.au (gabrielle harrison and Paul van den Bergen) Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2006 11:19:44 +1000 Subject: Numlock on startup?

Works as > expected for me. I think it is a bug - this sort of behaviour began for me somewhere in dapper. It's particularly noticeable if I do something like "sudo ls /someprotecteddir" If I (personally) have read access to the directory, it usually works (but I'm not convinced it _always_ works) but, if I don't, it always adds the space at the end. I can understand that it can't help me with completions beyond this point, as the bash completion is working under my ID but the resulting command is going to run under root, but it _does_ seem to know it's a directory at least, so shouldn't just add a space. -- derek From cjbottaro at alumni.cs.utexas.edu Fri Jul 21 20:07:48 2006 From: cjbottaro at alumni.cs.utexas.edu (Christopher J.

Oh well, 'mv /etc/bash_completion /etc/bash_completion.bak' solved this problem for me...but now I don't get any dir colors in my completion list (heh, did I before??, I can't remember, but I assumed so). I don't think it's a bad installation because I've installed Dapper on 2 computers and it's the same on both. Peace.

I want to be able to 'su -' into an account without being asked for a password. In Fedora, I accomplished this by removing the password for the account with 'passwd -d'.

I think a safer way of doing it would be to edit the sudoers file with the NOPASSWD directive. Put a line that lets your user run su with no password. Then you can sudo su - And it wont bother you.

Back in the days when I had KMail working, I didn't rely on just spamassasin alone. There were some other programs that I had enabled that successfully flagged about 80%-90% of all spam - a much better rate, I think we'd both agree. The two I used were: o Bogofilter (I love that name!) o Spamassasin 3.x (Perl) There are a few other anti-spam things you might also try that plug into KMail. I can't seem to find the list, however, to set up additional anti-spam software, go to tools -> anti-spam wizard (should be second from the bottom). It's a very easy wizard - I was very impressed with how easy it was. I wouldn't recommend more than 2 spam-scanners if you have a slow machine. My machine is arguably slow, and it was just barely alive under the heavy load of just spamassasin alone. Bogofilter had a much better time, taking less CPU time and finding more spam. Go figure. Good luck, and hope you find something that works! -- ========== GCv3.12 ========== GCS d-(++) s+: a? C++ UL+>++++ P+ L++ E--- W+(+++) N++ o? K? w--- O? M+ V? PS- PE+ Y-(--) PGP- t+++ 5?

I use bogofilter now, but back in the day I remember that I periodically had to run SA against accumulated stores of "spam" and "ham," after which its accuracy improved significantly.

Mepis is a good distro, with an excellent installer, and a good live cd that previously could actually repair a pranged installation of Mepis. The latest 6.0 release it seems, has lost this repair facility, and has bad pipe and dependency issues if one installs the mozilla browser. Mepis does not configure screen resolution like Kubuntu, and CRT monitors are maxed out at 1024 x 768, unlike Kubuntu which has a nice GUI utility for varying screen resolution past 1024 x 768 if desired. So I do not see Kubuntu as lacking, it currently surpasses some features of Mepis as a desktop. The Kubuntu installer and Live CD may not be quite so pretty, but so what. By the way the security server at ubuntu.com sees to be down tonite.

I clicked on it and had the menu "Home Folder/Storage Media/ ect" I went to Home Folder. It opened a file menu. I did the "UP" arrow at the top and backed up until I had the root files I clicked on "boot" and then "grub" and the "menu'lst". Menu.lst will give you a drop down of "actions" This has the "edit as root" in it. Click this and wait for about 15 seconds. The file will open and you can edit it. Then click "save" and close.

I'm not trying to be a smart alec and I'm not going to just say "RTFM", however it is a good idea to understand what folks are talking about. If you Click on the "K" (or system Menu) then "System Settings" you'll find under the "Hardware" section an icon for "Printers". If you click that you'll get a Dialog box titled "Printers - System Settings". About 1/3 of the way from the top is a list of Options, "Add, Printer, Print Server, Print Manager, View, Documentation" click the "Add" button and select "Add Printer / Class" If you follow the dialog box / wizard that comes up you'll find its pretty easy to add the printer via the linksys print server. After the first screen you're asked about the "Backend Selection" which means, "What kind of printer connection do you want to use". The second option from the top is the one you want "Remote LPD queue". Next you'll need to know the IP address or host name of the Linksys print server, and the name the print server gives the port or printer you are printing to. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! http://risenbooks.com Christian bookstore From art.alexion at verizon.net Tue Jul 25 01:25:56 2006 From: art.alexion at verizon.net (Art Alexion) Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2006 21:25:56 -0400 Subject: help with bash tab completion behavior In-Reply-To: References: <200607211319.53545.art.alexion@verizon.net> Message-ID: <200607242126.05980.art.alexion@verizon.net> On Friday 21 July 2006 16:07, Christopher J.

You are going to have to Google bash_completion for a more direct answer. For me, now, it just works.

Trained and synced. By default, the kmail "mark as spam" filters do not sync new spam characteristics to the main database. This is for speed. Every once in a while, go to the command line and type sa-learn --sync This will sync your training to spamassassin so that the training is used. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

Possibly because CIFS (SMB) and NFS are fundamentally different and incompatible protocols. "man smbmount" IIRC will yield plenty about how to mount a windows (CIFS) file share under Linux.

Note: this will only work with GNOME-aware apps that use the GNOME VFS. Try accessing the share using a GNOME app like above, then access the same file via KATE. You won't be able to, as KATE is not a GNOME VFS-using app. > Now try this in Kubuntu.

After that, everything should work correctly using the smb:/ IO_Slave in any KDE app. You won't be able to use smb:/ from within non-KDE apps (like OpenOffice). (Same problem as above.) For the best possible SMB connection, usable across all applications (GNOME, GTK, KDE, QT, X11, CLI, whatever), mount the SMB share to a directory. You can do this using GNOME tools, KDE tools (system:/), CLI tools, whatever. So long as you mount the share to an actual directory on your local system. It's the only method guaranteed to work with all apps. ---- Freddie Cash, LPCI-1 CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.

My googling of this problem indicated that knetworkmanager does not support WPA, so I googled up howtos on wpa_supplicant and got that working. It also seemed that if it was done through knetworkmanager, you'd have no connectivity unless and until KDE was up, even if knetworkmanager did support WPA. While setting up wpa_supplicant, I sat there thinking "This is fine for somebody like me, who has been using Linux since 1998 and enjoys this sort of thing, but the point at which a newcomer to Linux might have given up and gone back to Windows was reached a long time ago." The rest of this is kind of a tangent, so if you're not interested, this would be a good time to stop reading. Unless, of course, you're a developer involved with implementing wireless in (K)ubuntu, in which case you really ought to keep reading :-) Honestly, setting up the wireless network is something that belongs in the *installer* not something a person should have to google about and set up from the command line. The installer should ask a few simple questions like "Do you use a wireless network?" "B or G?" "Security: WEP, WPA, none" and get that taken care of at the outset so that you can use wireless immediately. It should be able to grab the initial updates over wireless. As more and more people go over to wireless-only networks, this is going to become a larger and larger issue. People are going to expect this functionality out of the box.

I think you might find that installing knetworkmanager actually solves your problem - I'm using it very successfully.

I would be satisfied with WEP. knetworkmanager is in Dapper, so you can use adept, aptitude, or (my personal weapon of choice) sudo apt-get install knetworkmanager. I don't recall if it's in the standard repository or universe, so you might need to enable some repositories if you can't find it.

Even if it did, I'd still greatly prefer a wireless mechanism that wasn't dependent on KDE, but that came up at boot time regardless of whether I was in KDE or not. What I found with using kwifimanager on a WEP network is that until I had actually logged into KDE, it didn't bring the wireless interface up. I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds that to be a nonstarter. A wifi manager should definitely have a GUI frontend, but it should not be dependent on that frontend to work.

Yeah, that is the key point! I've been using Linux for a long time and as far as I know this the concept of such a network manager is completely against the *nix filosofy! As the name says, it is a *front-end*, not the application itself. So it should just *configure* things. Another problem I can see in creating a good network manager is the difference from drivers. Some drivers has built-in WPA capabilities, some not. For those WPA-enabled drivers, the interface can be different from one another. There's a vast combinations that can be used to connect to a wireless network, so keep all this into a single app may not be that easy! regards Carlos Barros > > Cheers, > > Jonathan > > -- > kubuntu-users mailing list > kubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users > From oozypal at gmail.com Wed Jul 26 04:27:53 2006 From: oozypal at gmail.com (OOzy Pal) Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2006 07:27:53 +0300 Subject: KMail and spam In-Reply-To: <200607250955.59806.dhcolesj@gmail.com> References: <200607231314.49110.kubuntu@mekanix.dk> <44C5C6A3.8080002@laspas.gr> <299ffe0d0607250100ud5b5008wb7ba0b60d22ef1ed@mail.gmail.com> <200607250955.59806.dhcolesj@gmail.com> Message-ID: <299ffe0d0607252127p40a918d2k1c3436a2d9ddef31@mail.gmail.com> On 7/25/06, Howard Coles Jr. wrote: > On Tuesday 25 July 2006 3:00 am, OOzy Pal wrote: > > On 7/25/06, Stratos Laspas wrote: > > > > > Where is the spamassassin conf file?

I've recently installed Kubuntu and am trying to get comfortable using it. One thing I can't figure out is how to get my compact flash and sd cards to mount. I am running Dapper on a dual opteron amd64 system with the smp kernel. I've run Mandriva on it for a year and all the hardware was easily recognized. I have a 6 in 1 reader that is recognized by lspci: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 07cc:0301 Carry Computer Eng., Co., Ltd 6-in-1 Card Reader When I stick in my compact flash or SD cards in the card reader, I don't see any reaction. I expected some sort of automount to happen, maybe a window asking me what to do with it. That didn't happen, so I looked at /var/log/message to see what scsi drive appeared so I could mount it by hand. I expected to see messages about sdb being recognized, but nothing at all happened in /var/log/messages or any other log file. What am I missing?

I recently install Dapper on to a laptop and if I hadn't known my way around the /etc/network/interfaces, ifconfig and iwconfig, I've no idea how long things would have taken to setup correctly. This, and making shares available easily - I know how, but... - are things I think should be sorted pronto. On which note, is there a "list" somewhere where these kind of points are kept and prioritised? Simplifying "getting going" for home users is one thing, for business users - where resistance is often greater - is another; the two have a lot of overlap, of course. -- Best, Marc From o.sinclair at gmail.com Wed Jul 26 08:09:03 2006 From: o.sinclair at gmail.com (Orjan Sinclair) Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2006 10:09:03 +0200 Subject: a most annoying difference between Ubuntu Gnome & Kubuntu In-Reply-To: <44C6FAC0.3060107@blueyonder.co.uk> References: <44B7C99E.1020302@mindspring.com> <4ba734f90607252134t34bc1234kb5cdadb0d2a26618@mail.gmail.com> <44C6FAC0.3060107@blueyonder.co.uk> Message-ID: <200607261009.04168.o.sinclair@gmail.com> Interesting idea!

In my opinion, the main reason that there is no such a tool that would automagically set up all wireless connections possible, is the drivers issue. Not all vendors provide drivers, and I am not aware of any that provide them in GPL or similar license scheme. Therefore, one has to go to various places on the internet and find community supported drivers that work and directions of implementation. Unfortunately, the automated tools did not work for me (using kubuntu, but also by installing ubuntu programs), in the case that I wanted to set up WPA (WEP is not recommended for security). Even after setting up knetworkmanager, while connected, this programs thinks there is no connection and no device present. The gnome tool does see the connection active, but I only use it as a monitor, I did not use it for setting up. There is also an option in Automatix (www.getautomatix.com) for laptop wireless, but I did not try that. Given the above, it is indeed evident that a wiki is missing on this topic. Ideally, there would be one contributed by users using different wireless chipsets, so that one can follow the procedures for his particular product, until such a time that a turn-key app comes up to do the work. If it helps at all, my contribution is the following (off the top of my head, not very analytical): Using a NetGear WG511 (does not mention version on the card, it's made in China). In general terms, I did the following and it works (independently of starting kde): 1) put the module prism54 in black list so it is not loaded 2) go to ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net, download card driver, follow documentation instructions to set up ndiswrapper (create conf files) 3) put ndiswrapper in list of modules to be loaded 4) follow documentation instructions and set up /etc/wpasupplicant/wpasupplicant.conf 5) in /etc/network/interfaces, I have wlan0 as follows: *quote* auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp pre-up /sbin/wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0 - -c/etc/wpasupplicant/wpasupplicant.conf -Bw post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant *unquote* Regards, Stratos -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIVAwUBRMcjl7TWQpBOl+84AQLCDg//Zyzy4g5bfJTgvDb6CbMowrNHNpZVCeUM sfQZTGVoIriRXZh0LLRiGv/mwC8Zl6GPHfJ9qg+LVAPLJuxKavpTjhQBFjHVVzL6 NaC6JZ6SwseH4m2D5OiA1bq81++OC/7rshAGzD8ylYue2FKqwYYDt7gFTswDwqQO V60ylWazbtfPUqoSVwDwXqKCrV+inZLV/mTevQvykxIZ4Oq78wFebgIwzWBiXfzl 9NXwkgXcQBz47xR0fiWFLMbn7CV99ilK09NNQfTVHgeQDAd5/yl0tEkZswgGNah3 m3lC8RBkwysqCRESRGax/x9qhYtMJliOsrxS1Q/kdY3nefaTq8ca2/ZOrJMdKnqK rfgeD6CvbRFtILkxykiiQoTH5RMVHXd4I/6SlYen8L/oXmIFwm6ma6XQOU35BO4F O17DrhXbEWBGMRKAe7zCGlSkKoDb1C9mpmZW54sdtHVwMKA5tijfXV2DwdIyIJAB Vpj/H4d0ZQuJmcZhN/6PNxAgMvDt23duWMrjCKT7bv197NmFiyD94TSnaUxMwHMe wfzFA66+KjlW2A/jjkxCuvxmbdpGN4E5yxJxoeFrShR+D4BtqcV6eFslfXZAH3yr 4RQxhdwsYAPVzF66ZKgvDCqsIAHsCCyqCGTWfPs4kLUSmJfxm8nSrNqREA4ZiqzA lAxDOYSapGU= =iW5d -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From guido.dom at gmail.com Wed Jul 26 08:25:14 2006 From: guido.dom at gmail.com (guido dom) Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2006 10:25:14 +0200 Subject: Mounting removable drives In-Reply-To: <9c2aabaf0607252238m2bb5a128p7abbeae9c71d8d2b@mail.gmail.com> References: <9c2aabaf0607252238m2bb5a128p7abbeae9c71d8d2b@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: I connected my cardreader and it worked instantly On 7/26/06, Michael Hirsch wrote: > Greetings, > > I am new to Kubuntu, but quite experienced with Linux.

Networkmanager does in fact support WPA (meaning the frontend does). I'm using it on my laptop with an intel 2200 wireless nic and it makes life a lot easier: Plugged in to a wire, it detects and uses it, and I can choose from a dropdown list what wlan I want to connect to - easy. One thing that was not that obvious was that I needed to comment out everything in /etc/network/interfaces, apart from: auto lo iface lo inet loopback After that, fire it up and off it goes. I think there will be no connection until kde is fired up though, because I have chosen to store all the WPA passphrases in kwallet, so this has to open before it knows them. This is no big deal for most laptop users, as you will be wanting a desktop to work on. If its for a box that needs to be connected without a desktop, or as some kind of server, you probably want to just start hacking /etc/network/interfaces with wpa_supplicant. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Reboot and you should be sweet. I tried this by adding the package initrd-tools and doing: mkinitrd -o initrd.img-2.... after adding resiserfs to /etc/modules. While keeping the partition as ext3 - to try the new initrd - I rebooted and got a kernel panic: mount: unknown filesystem type 'devfs' It appears that I can't create the installed initrd from the installation. The resulting initrd is some 700kb smaller than that provided with the distribution. -- Best, Marc From ylan.segal at gmail.com Wed Jul 26 12:29:49 2006 From: ylan.segal at gmail.com (Ylan Segal) Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2006 08:29:49 -0400 Subject: Mounting removable drives In-Reply-To: <9c2aabaf0607252238m2bb5a128p7abbeae9c71d8d2b@mail.gmail.com> References: <9c2aabaf0607252238m2bb5a128p7abbeae9c71d8d2b@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: Michael Hirsch wrote: > Greetings, > > I am new to Kubuntu, but quite experienced with Linux.

Dave, The Ubuntu/Kubuntu way is to not have a root account and therefore no root password. Instead, use "sudo" or "kdesu" (for graphical apps like synaptic), which uses your own account password. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own From binary_y2k2 at blueyonder.co.uk Wed Jul 26 13:29:43 2006 From: binary_y2k2 at blueyonder.co.uk (Tez) Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2006 14:29:43 +0100 Subject: Dumb question - forgotten root password In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <44C76E47.1070506@blueyonder.co.uk> Dave Cannell wrote: > I've forgotten my password for root (still getting used to this kubuntu > stuff).

Of course, kwifimanager is a kde frontend to ifconfig, iwconfig, /etc/network/interfaces and maybe a couple of other tools - either of the KDE frontends could be removed and your network should work as it always did before. > up at boot time regardless of whether I was in KDE or not.

I can't see how that can happen, unless the WEP key is actually provided by kwifimanager instead of stored in /etc/network/interfaces.

That's why we have HAL, _and_ that's why we have network-manager. Network-manager is far from perfect yet, but it does the job for many people and I think it's entirely possible for it to handle different driver needs. > > Unfortunately, the automated tools did not work for me (using kubuntu, > but also by installing ubuntu programs), in the case that I wanted to > set up WPA (WEP is not recommended for security).

The most common reason I've seen for that on the network-manager list is that a couple of wireless devices don't advertise themselves to HAL as being wireless.

Of course, kwifimanager is a kde frontend to ifupdown, /etc/network/interfaces and maybe a couple of other tools - either of the KDE frontends could be removed and your network should work as it always did before. > up at boot time regardless of whether I was in KDE or not.

I can't see how that can happen, unless the WEP key is actually provided by kwifimanager instead of stored in /etc/network/interfaces.

Here's another data point: At boot I only have the sda* devices in /dev representing my SATA disk. If I insert my sd flash card I don't see the messages in /var/log/messages I'd expect to see and no new device appears. If I try to mount /dev/sdb1 it fails, but now I have a /dev/sdb. I can try to mount /dev/sdc to create a /dev/sdc, which fails, but now I can mount /dev/sdc1 which succeeds. I guess this makes some sense, but I don't understand why the devices are created until I request them. I expected them to be created at insertion time. I keep wondering if there is a package I am missing for doing hotplug, or something.

To get the basic dependencies for building kde programs, you can run sudo apt-get apt-get build-dep kmobiletools which will install all the packages that you need to build the kmobiletools 0.4.2 (if I remember correctly) that are in dapper repositories, that will surely include the kde headers and development libs. You might still miss some dependencies, since the svn version of kmobiletools might have some new dependencies, - for those please check the kmobiletools website.

"I'd like to replicate this on Kubuntu, but when I use the Win key as a "Window Shortcut" in the app or "Keyboard Shortcut/Command Shortcut" via Control Centre/Regional.../Global Schemes nothing happens.

HATE Evolution though and love > Kontact. Maybe I can run Kontact under > Gnome.... How do you access files on Windows shares when working on a Windows station? There are two methods: - open Network Neighbourhood and browse around until you find the server, find the directory, find the file, then double-click on the file. A login box pops up and you enter the username/password for that share on that server. The password is cached for awhile, but you may need to re-enter it when opening other files. Very cumbersome, and not very fast. Files can't easily be opened via Open/Save dialogs. - open Windows Explorer and map the share to a drive letter so that you can access all files on there from any Open/Save dialog or Run box. So, if you need to a map a share to a drive letter in Windows, why do you think it's "too much work" to map a share in Linux? Just mount the Windows share to a directory on your Linux system and access the files the same way you would any other file on your system. This is also guaranteed to work with *every* application on your system, regardless of whether its a GTK, GNOME, KDE, X11, CLI, whatever. You can mount SMB/CIFS shares as a normal user as long as you mount to a directory that you own. KDE and GNOME both provide nice graphical methods for mounting shares, or you can do at the CLI. You can even put it into a dot-file so that the share gets mounted automatically when you login. Why are you trying to make this more complicated by using GNOME-specific or KDE-specific methods using VFS/KIO? Just mount the damn share and be done with it. ---- Freddie Cash, LPCI-1 CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.

And finally I got my Help -> About Opera to show me that Java is installed . The results it shows me are Version 9.00 Build 344 Platform Linux System i686, 2.6.15-26-386 Qt library 3.3.6 Java Java Runtime Environment installed Now when I go to the test java page of sun http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml. It is not giving me the error that JRE is not installed but it shows a nice box. But I can not see the dancing duke logo there. It just shows be a box. I also tried the test applet from Opera for the analog clock. Even there I could not see the clock only a box is displayed. Any inputs would be of great help.

It's the only one I *know* will do it's filtering in the proper place.

Kmail does spam and mail lists better; plus its integration with kontact is a huge plus. Thunderbird does HTML and other attachments better. I like enigmail much better than kgpg, too. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.

I tried +f and kontact opened up a new message window for me to forward this message to someone else.

Kind of as a follow up, I tried setting Win+F to open Firefox and it works just fine. If you set the shortcut to custom, and then while the first or primary is highlighted, hit Win+F (that is win and f and the same time, then hit OK and then click apply before closing the panel it works.

Are these on the Windows Partition on the same computer, or are you mounting them via SMB? I'm thinking you mean that all three "Home" "My Documents" and "Download" are all three mounted via SMB to the Windows only machine, but I want to make sure. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! http://risenbooks.com Christian bookstore From bobbyyu1 at yahoo.ca Sun Jul 30 02:45:36 2006 From: bobbyyu1 at yahoo.ca (Robert T.

The problem is more than likely in how the windows shares are mounted when you are booted into KUbuntu. More than likely only root has access to the non-native windows volumes you are mounting. I wish off the top of my head I knew how to change this, but the best I could do was edit my fstab as follows: (NOTE: /dev/hda1 is my windows partitions): /dev/hda1 /winxp vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 0 Putting this in your fstab may not be the best way to do it and I may be WAY off on answering your question, but I hope I'm helping some. However, I do think that sharing the Windows partitions can be done via SAMBA, unless maybe they're NTFS, then I'm not sure. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! http://risenbooks.com Christian bookstore From john-ubuntu at fjellstad.org Sun Jul 30 07:27:46 2006 From: john-ubuntu at fjellstad.org (John L Fjellstad) Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2006 09:27:46 +0200 Subject: Mounting removable drives References: <9c2aabaf0607252238m2bb5a128p7abbeae9c71d8d2b@mail.gmail.com> <9c2aabaf0607260725v4211f6b9n437f00e2fb1fa28d@mail.gmail.com> <9c2aabaf0607262233pe718e7fo820c42927ba9256f@mail.gmail.com> <87hd13y2ms.fsf@fjellstad.org> <9c2aabaf0607291556y46a42e4fs3ab29e307acacefd@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <87mzar1ril.fsf@fjellstad.org> "Michael Hirsch" writes: >> Do you have hal installed? > > No, I don't.

HAL might have started GNOME specific, but AFAIK it's now a more generic way to get access to the hardware. You should also have dbus installed (although hal depends on dbus, so you should get both installed). I have just done two new installations of Kubuntu Dapper, and in both instances hal was installed (also if you look at the dependency line of kubuntu-desktop, hal is one of the dependencies). -- John L.

Many thanks. I found most of the solution for me after a better understanding of terms.

Thanks again. A key point of enlightenment and understanding for me has been that nfs-common and similar, are in fact not Programs to be dealt with via Add/Remove Programs (where they could not be seen.....) because they are not programs, but packages (!) Things became more productive once I began using System>Adept (Package Manager), Adept Manager, (search) nfs, etc I note that: For nfs-common, nfs-kernel-server, nfs-user-server, a) libnfsidmap1 is also installed as an automatic choice b) nfs-kernel-server and nfs-user-server are mutually exclusive, with only one being allowed installed I am trying the possibilities with both nfs-kernel-server and nfs-user-server, and I also have a firewall front end (firestarter). With the various possibilities, and my limited knowledge ( :-) ), it may take a little time for me to get to know how to drive this thing........ However, nfs certainly now works :-) (ac) ========================= -- ac From mdhirsch at gmail.com Sun Jul 30 21:41:28 2006 From: mdhirsch at gmail.com (Michael Hirsch) Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2006 15:41:28 -0600 Subject: Mounting removable drives In-Reply-To: <87mzar1ril.fsf@fjellstad.org> References: <9c2aabaf0607252238m2bb5a128p7abbeae9c71d8d2b@mail.gmail.com> <9c2aabaf0607260725v4211f6b9n437f00e2fb1fa28d@mail.gmail.com> <9c2aabaf0607262233pe718e7fo820c42927ba9256f@mail.gmail.com> <87hd13y2ms.fsf@fjellstad.org> <9c2aabaf0607291556y46a42e4fs3ab29e307acacefd@mail.gmail.com> <87mzar1ril.fsf@fjellstad.org> Message-ID: <9c2aabaf0607301441u7b54d5cage015bce78db1555a@mail.gmail.com> Hah!

There is *always* a way, but it is sometimes quite tough ;-) If you really want a confirmation, AFAIK the solution is kpowersave which handles everything nicely but is not using the acpi-support package (unfortunately). However, there is some trouble installing it since it breaks the default Kubuntu dependencies... Another solution is to remove the link between the power button and the shut down: Look at /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn and change the action or the event or remove the file. On the kubuntu-dev ML, there was a call to develop a new KDE front-end because klaptop is too old and unmaintained and as I said kpowersave duplicates the work done by the acpi-support package. Don't think it already started. Maybe this is not fully accurate, but at least this is my understanding of the problem ;-) -- Michel From o.sinclair at gmail.com Mon Jul 31 07:12:59 2006 From: o.sinclair at gmail.com (O.

I'm much happier with kpowersave. However, I'm not at all sure how you would configure a confirmation with kpowersave, either - it can't be done in the front-end. > However, there is some trouble installing it since it > breaks the default Kubuntu dependencies... There's no _trouble_ installing it. But I expect you will lose kubuntu-desktop - a situation which the powers that be still can't actually decide to fix. > Another solution is to remove the link between the power button and the > shut down: Look at /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn and change the action or the > event or remove the file. > > On the kubuntu-dev ML, there was a call to develop a new KDE front-end > because klaptop is too old and unmaintained and as I said kpowersave > duplicates the work done by the acpi-support package.

Yes, I tries this too.

So I am really out of ideas here, any help would be great. I've found that xorg.conf gets scrambled with any automated update. Hence, I keep a copy, and overwrite whatever xorg - or whatever process is screwing it up - thinks it should do. Worked fine in Badger for me, though. -- Best, Marc From kubuntu-users at cpinkney.org.uk Mon Jul 31 19:14:52 2006 From: kubuntu-users at cpinkney.org.uk (Colin Pinkney) Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 20:14:52 +0100 Subject: problem foomatic (epson rx620) In-Reply-To: <200607311624.07206.karl.vanwynsberghe@telenet.be> References: <200607311624.07206.karl.vanwynsberghe@telenet.be> Message-ID: <200607312014.52414.kubuntu-users@cpinkney.org.uk> On Monday 31 July 2006 15:24, karl vanwynsberghe wrote: > When i try to install the printer by using the System settings, Printers, > Add... and selecting the proper driver i receive a error message. > (And the printer doesn't work...) > > Driver selection; > Epson Stylus Photo RX620 (Foomatic + gutenprint) [recommended] > > Error message; > Unable to load the requested driver: > Unable to create the Foomatic driver [Epson-Stylus_Photo_RX620,gutenprint]. > Either that driver does not exist, or you don't have the required > permissions to perform that operation. I had the exact same error with a fresh install of Kubuntu 6.06 and a HP Deskjet 930c printer. I think there is a bug with the KDE Printer admin app as I was able to use the CUPS web interface to add my printer: http://localhost:631/ The instructions in the 2nd paragraph tell you how to re-enable the CUPS administration features. Basically run sudo adduser cupsys shadow and then restart CUPS with sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart I was then able to add my printer using the admin features in the CUPS web interface http://localhost:631/ just as easy as with the KDE interface. It asks for a username and password so I entered the first (admin, but not root) user username and password and it let me in. I guess anyone in the lpadmin group can get in. Disclaimer: It states they disabled the web admin features of CUPS for some security reasons, but don't state what. I imagine if its a home network or the PC is behind a firewall it is relatively safe. -- Colin Pinkney http://www.cpinkney.org.uk From liz at kandew.com Mon Jul 31 20:34:59 2006 From: liz at kandew.com (Liz Young) Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 13:34:59 -0700 Subject: problem foomatic (epson rx620) In-Reply-To: <200607311624.07206.karl.vanwynsberghe@telenet.be> References: <200607311624.07206.karl.vanwynsberghe@telenet.be> Message-ID: <200607311335.00097.liz@kandew.com> On Monday 31 July 2006 07:24, karl vanwynsberghe wrote: > Hi, > I have a problem installing my epson printer (RX620) > Error message; > Unable to load the requested driver: > Unable to create the Foomatic driver > [Epson-Stylus_Photo_RX620,gutenprint].

Try running this from konsole: "sudo foomatic-cleanupdrivers" and then try the printer setup again.

Reading the script it looks like KPowersave is supposed to do something in place of just shutting down. Thanks!
