It seems pretty stupid to allow -f to never prompt, if an explicit -i is involved. One distro I used to run (Mandriva?) had the alias setup, and rm -rf was on a leash, with the query needing to be answered and it saved my tush several times.

It is supported for 18 months. People who woould be most interested in Edgy might be developers or those who have computers as an hobby. Dapper (606 LTS) is aimed at businesses and those who want a stable platforn. People who mainly use dapper would include those who want a reliable computer for routine tasks, or as a stable platform for doing varied types of work. I'm an example of the latter. I use my computers for Graphics production and producing prints of artwork, and business tasks such as correspondance, email, web page building, and isnstant messaging. I will probably use dapper until the NEXT LTS version comes out and until I have run it on a test computer for a month or so. Hope this gives you an idea for which to pick.

The "cute graphical thingie" comes with frame buffer (text) boot. If you want the full text telling you what goes on during boot do the following: 1. cd /boot/grub Use your favourite editor to edit menu.lst, and find the line representing the kernel you want to boot, e.g.: 2. sudo vi menu.lst Find the kernel line: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-27-amd64-generic root=UUID=b02e6475-695f-4529-bd93-ca36dbac752a ro quiet splash and change it to: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-27-amd64-generic root=UUID=b02e6475-695f-4529-bd93-ca36dbac752a ro vga=0x318 Note the above is on one line. "vga=0x318" gives you text resolution 1024x768. Other resolutions: 0x31b = 1280x1024 0x315 = 800x600 0x312 = 640x480 3. Reboot. Select the above kernel. The "thingie" should be back and every step in the boot process is documented.

You can still use them in fstab and grub but in time they will become obsolete. Downside is when backing up with 'dd' you also copy the UUIDL of that partition and can get into trouble when a disk has been repartitioned. It also makes it harder to change fstab entries IMO, though of course there's a solution available to everything. -- Good luck, HarM.

For me this occurs with gb layout and macintosh keyboard, either setting keyboard to pc105 or layout to us works -- each has its advantages and disadvantages. Actually it's not quite true (at least in my case) that nothing can be typed, characters on the top row (numbers, their shifts and -, = etc) do work. See bug number 51003.

There was a list of 1 package to be updated today: kopete. 2. I told adept updater to perform the update (as usual). 3. The installation halted at 60%, and I noticed that it was a bit strange that it said that it halted while trying to install vmware-player, since I didn't ask for that package and it wasn't mentioned in the list of 1 item that it said it was going to update. 4. When I say "halted" I mean exactly that: there were no errors or anything, but the status bar simply stopped expanding. Yes, I did wait for a long time. 5. Now whenever I run adept updater, it tells me that there are two packages availble for update: kopete and vmware-player. 6. If I tell it to update vmware-player it downloads the update, but halts when installing. (The same way that it halted when installing the package originially: the status bar just stops growing.) 7. I have no desire to have vmware-player on my system (since I already have vmware installed), but if I tell adept to uninstall the vmware-player package, it says: "There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." So I can neither update it nor uninstall it. (And if I were to update it, it would be only so that I could then uninstall it, since I don't want it.) 8. How do I get out of this mess????? I want it to forget all about bloomin' vmware-player.

But then I will never know when there's a real update unless I keep opening the updater and checking. So, yes, ignoring the problem is, I suppose, one option (akin to ignoring the error messages that pop up on my wife's Windows box at boot time). But I really want the system to forget all about vmware-player. (And I figure that there's a good chance that if adept is this confused about one package, it's only a matter of time before it gets equally confused about more packages. And then there's the corollory: what if I actually wanted to have vmware-player on my system? Right now, there seems no way I could install it even if I wanted to.) So really I need to find a way to get the database into a self-consistent state.

I don't use Adept it's just not good enough IMO, Synaptic has many more features and I find it easier to navigate and get things done. I also use a package called "update-notifier" (it's works with Synaptic) which, as you guessed, notifies me of updates and shows the changelogs in the same window. The changelogs are located at http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/ so if you want to see the changelog for Adept you'd go to http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/a/adept/adept_2.1.1ubuntu3/changelog or any other version.

So I: 1. manually removed vmware server. 2 Rebooted. Hmmm... still some vmware network-related processes running. 3. remove vmware server again. 4. Reboot. vmware netwrk processes STILL running. 5. Manually kill the vmware processes. 6. Manually remove vmware server (for the third time). 7. tell apt to remove vmware-player. AH! For the first time I don't get any error messages. 8. Open adept and serach on vmware packages.... hmmm... a bunch of vmware-related are packages are still installed, but the main vmware-player is, at last, gone. 9. using adept, uninstall all the packages that contain "vmware" in their name. 10. Reboot (probably unnecessary, but at this point who knows what vestige of vmware might still be around to cause trouble by installing network-remated process at reboot time" 11. Check that there are no vmare processes running -- there aren't. 12. Run adept-updater. Just like first thing this morning, the only update listed is for kopete. Unlike this morning, it really does only attempt to install the kopete update. No sign of vmware anywhere. 13. Yay! except that now I will have to reinstall vmware server from scratch manually at some point. But that's such a pain that I'll leave that for another day. I hope that this doesn't happen to anyone else -- but at least if it does we now know how to recover, although it is at the cost of losing vmware server. (Actually, wish I had thought to try running vmware server earlier; I knid of suspect that it was hosed from the moment that adept updater started trying to install vmware-player.)

Well, that had no affect. The error is still coming to my inbox, and evidently beagle's crawler is still crashing. I would have thought it was memory. I tried running it manually but I can't tell if it actually started, and I didn't get any messages to the console.

The new by-uuid looks like seven kinds of gobbledejibber too. Bleck. More promising is /dev/by-id/ but even that looks a little disturbing to me too. Looks like you're going to wind up with a fstab that's married to a particular piece of hardware, instead of just a partition scheme. That seems very annoying, since my usual way up upgrading a drive is to keep a similar partition scheme, and just make some of the partitions bigger on the new one. Maybe I'm being pessimistic. I should STFW and see what this is all about. Or not. I never did have to figure out how to live with devfs. I just kept turning it off until it went away. -- D.

Who needs that pesky Help menu, anyway? :-) Well, it's easy to ignore. Every time I actually want to use it, I get invited to write the help file for such and thus. I don't think I've ever really found the help with any KDE app to be useful. Of course, I live in a glass house here. I think the last person to touch the Rosegarden Handbook was me, and it isn't up to date either. (Neither is the package in Dapper either, for that matter. Anyone know what version of Rosegarden is in Edgy? If it's "rosegarden4" anything, I need to go tap someone on the shoulder, as we seem to have fallen through a bit of a crack here.) Programmers hate writing documentation, and documentation writers hate the fact that programmers keep changing everything every time you turn around. Since I'm both a programmer and a documentation writer, I'm kind of a perpetual entropy machine. I don't want to write new code to invalidate old docs, but I don't want to update old docs to reflect current code because I know I will eventually change the code. So it's easier to do nothing at all. That's more like it. If you neither change the code nor the docs, there's nothing to do, and you can do nothing. Entropy. Simple. -- D.

I don't think so - as Michael said about turning off devfs until it went away, I turned off the UUID stuff in fstab. I was running edgy from very early days, and the first time this came up I suddenly lost my swap partition, so just reverted fstab and everything worked (actually I don't think the lost swap was anything to do with that - but, as usually happens, I saw something had changed and turned it off!). So if you need to make grub changes on the fly, you should still be able to use the /dev names rather than UUIDs. > If not, one would be required to use a bootable medium like a live-CD > every time, to get into a reluctant box and either get those uuidl's or > generate new ones. Where the latter option requires the use of 'tune2fs'.

Rename your existing '/home/konrad/.kde/' to something like '.kde-old' log out of kde and log back in. Then you can get your settings (like kmail and kopete) back by copying them back from .de-old to the newly created .kde directory. -- Good luck, HarM.

Your 'home' should still be there. From what I understand only KDE configuration is broken. Meaning, no need (yet) for backups. By renaming ~.kde/ you should automatically have a new ~.kde/ created like when you log in for the first time. 'kdm' is the first graphical login screen you get after you boot up. I'm not dead sure but I wouldn't be surprised you need 'kdm' to get into KDE. So maybe, just maybe your killall action did leave a pidfile. To check start in failsafe mode and look for '/var/run/kdm.pid'. If it exists, delete that pid file and reboot to see if all works now. -- Good luck, HarM.

You could try to open the browser and in the address line type : about:config look for a line that reads something like : browser.sessionrestore.resume-session boolean true If you double-click that line it should change true --> false Restart browser. If it doesn't work, undo the change.

It's a new feature in Firefox 2, which I quite like. The problem occurs when you log off KDE with FF running. Since KDE kills Firefox, Firefox thinks it crashed and the next time you log in it pops up the "FF crashed" dialog.

Yesterday I found out a very strange behavior in cups.. I have a kubuntu machine conected localy to a printer (okipage 4w). It works just fine... Then, I have another machine (a notebook) running kubuntu too, and I wanted to print using a remote cups server, located in the first machine.. So, I edite /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf and changed it in order to cups listen in my local network. In the notebook, I opened the printer wizard and selected remove print server (CUPS/IPP), entered my server IP. Now, it showed me the printer attached in my server, so I selected it, then selected the correct driver. Well, everything has gone well, but... When I print something from the notebook, I get some strange lines printed, looks like some printer commands, but not the page itself. I made some tests using a mandriva as cups server, and get the same problem.. In my work, I have the same configuration (the print server is running madriva) but the client is a slackware configured via cups web interface.. it works like a charm, but when I setup a kubuntu to print to the same printer, again I get some commands printed..

You sound like the kind of guy who needs step by step instructions trying to fix this, and I don't have time to write them out at the moment.

Come to think of it, when I ran the check on Ubuntu and Kubuntu 6.06 It showed something bad on each of them (I don't remember the exact error) but they both ran as live CDs and installed OK. They were from Ubuntu and not downloads. The check showed ok for Xubuntu which I downloaded and burned. No explanation, just fact.

If you tried to build it from source, remove that and install the available package. 'sudo apt-get install mc' should get it for you.

You need to edit your xorg.conf file: kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf Then add at the very bottom of the file: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "0" EndSection You need to hit 'Return' after to create a new line.

That is in spite of pvcreate succesfully reporting it created the PVs. I tried several times creating and removing. Follow results from -d (debug) and -v (verbose) of creation process. philsf at peralta:~$ sudo pvcreate -v -d /dev/sda[567] Set up physical volume for "/dev/sda5" with 39069633 available sectors Zeroing start of device /dev/sda5 Physical volume "/dev/sda5" successfully created Set up physical volume for "/dev/sda6" with 39069633 available sectors Zeroing start of device /dev/sda6 Physical volume "/dev/sda6" successfully created Set up physical volume for "/dev/sda7" with 271353468 available sectors Zeroing start of device /dev/sda7 Physical volume "/dev/sda7" successfully created After which I tried: philsf at peralta:~$ sudo vgcreate vg /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6 /dev/sda7 No physical volume label read from /dev/sda5 /dev/sda5 not identified as an existing physical volume Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sda5' to volume group 'vg'. Now when I see this, I can't determine if the problem is with vgcreate not recognizing the PVs, or pvcreate not creating them correctly. So I tried the following philsf at peralta:~$ sudo pvscan and the only PVs that appear, are the ones in use (from my IDE hard drive). I can't seem to find any option in pvscan to force it to look in /dev/sda, but so far, it really seems the partitions aren't PVs yet, right? Wrong. If out of curiosity I issue another "create", I get an error: philsf at peralta:~$ sudo pvcreate /dev/sda7 Failed to write physical volume "/dev/sda7" And I am able to pvremove it normally (only once). So my guess is that the PV's are indeed getting created, but not recognized later. This only happens in my SATA hard drive. I am kind of lost here, anybody knows what's going on? regards FF From jferrando at netplc.com Sat Nov 4 19:36:19 2006 From: jferrando at netplc.com (Jordi Ferrando) Date: Sat, 04 Nov 2006 20:36:19 +0100 Subject: connect two computers for file sharing In-Reply-To: <200610111052.10003.dgvirtual@akl.lt> References: <200610111052.10003.dgvirtual@akl.lt> Message-ID: <454CEBB3.1080204@netplc.com> Hi, Choose a network for you locally administrated network (not public internet IPs) One valid range could be: 192.168.0.x Means you can assign IPs from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254 You can't assign IP 192.168.0.0 (this is not valid, '0' terminated means network) and 192.168.0.255 (this one is for the "broadcast".

It looks like it should be in whatever version of the distro you're using. https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+search?text=kolourpaint I would guess it wasn't installed by default off the CD. I noticed a lot of things missing myself after installing from the CD, so the first thing I did was install the "kde" metapackage, which pulled the vast heaping entirety of the thing in one whack. Wasteful, but easier than picking out the missing components I actually use.

X just shows a blue screen for a couple of seconds, then a black screen, then a blue screen, black, blue, I have tried appending all the meningful boot options i could find in the GRUB F1 help, but no luck. The help describes a "boot:"-prompt. I never see such a prompt. I get the GRUB menu where I can select OEM install, media validation, etc. F6 seems the only place to add boot options, and I have tried appending options here.

It worked fine under Dapper. I assume you changed kernels when you upgraded. I'd suspect this driver just randomly got busted. I had that happen with the emu10k1 driver. It was working fine until I upgraded to ALSA x.y.z in the normal course of events, and then kaflooey. I forget what I did to fix it, but it was something nasty. This was too long ago to be of any use now. I'd google around for trouble with this driver and whatever version of the kernel and/or ALSA you're using. -- D.

There are two spam-related buttons in Kmail, filter classify as spam and filter classify as not spam. Use the not spam button on your legit mail. This isn't really a "problem" per se; Bayesian filters must be trained on corpuses of both legit mail and spam so that they can tell the difference between what you consider to be good and junk; it's how they're designed to work.

Quite an old PCI card by now. This would be the first time a Linux distro did not recognize this card for me.

All settings were the same as were loaded modules, alsamix settings and kmix as well. Took me an hour to discover that in the mixer settings of kmix you have to click on the little green led-like lights above the volume sliders to unmute them. :-P -- Good luck, HarM.

That way you could have more than one thing attached to the router and the two internal devices could use the default, while the router would adjust things for going out on the internet. This would keep you from having to remember to adjust the MTU for every device you plug in. If I'm not mistaken my Linksys adjusts itself for that on its own, as I think I saw something to that affect when I was prowling around in it. But, I could be thinking of something else. . . -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! http://risenbooks.com Christian bookstore From dethadol at googlemail.com Mon Nov 6 13:37:35 2006 From: dethadol at googlemail.com (dethadol) Date: Mon, 06 Nov 2006 13:37:35 +0000 Subject: no /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-386/volatile on boot Message-ID: <1162820255.5067.5.camel@petebox> When booting I get an error message saying :- mkdir: cannot create directory /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-386/volatile - read only filesystem I have not had this problem with previous kernels and in fact the volatile sub directories exist for both /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/ and /lib/modules/2.6.15-25-386/.

Specifically "trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libdivxdecore.so.0.0.0', which is also in package libdivxdecore0-binary" This is saying that the file "/usr/lib/libdivxdecore.so.0.0.0" is in both libdivxdecore0-binary and libdivxencore0.

Wasn't aware of the magic, perhaps I should read the mans again, and will keep it on file for the future. Actually, I was able to solve the issue after trying the above mentioned several times by going back to Snaptic again and it worked then. Don't know why unless the -f install did its work finally. Everything seems to be installed ok except for 4 packages in that same upgrade that appears not to have the dependencies in place. Those packages are: gtk2-engines-gtk-qt kdebluetooth kino wpasupplicant all from the 3v1no/kde or net section. Don't know why the packages are marked upgradable but the dependencies are unavailable. This is a new repos just added and don;t know much about it. Surely Kubuntu wouldn't do that. Again, thanks for your great help.

I have now tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 during the useless X cycle. For some odd reason simply going to a console like this stops the X cycling and makes the boot continue to the live desktop. I have not tried to log into the console shell, since Ctrl+Alt+F1 alone did made the boot continue. Unfortunately I still have no working Edgy. I can indeed install now, but I can not log into the installed KDE desktop. KDM takes my user name and password, and then it just returns me to KDM again. I have tried Ctrl+Alt+F1, stopping KDM, reconfiguring xserver with the correct video drivers, screen resolutions, etc., starting KDM. No luck. Any ideas? Or do I really have to deem Edgy 100% useless?

I have this in my sources.list: # Flash 9 deb http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/ dapper 3v1n0 AIR, I copied this directly from the list to be able to install flash 9 (beta?) and several other pkgs came with the upgrade. Think the mirror is correct. Is it? Or do I need to change dapper to edgy? Strange, added mirror to get flash9 and the upgrade was the only one I had trouble with AFAICR. Although locate finds some entries for flash9 (usr/share/haxe/flash9/*), wajig whichpkg, apt search, show yields nothing for flash9. An install flash9 also doesn't find the pkg. Finally discovered the correct pkg name, flashplayer-nonfree, which didn't install although no errors to that effect. So, I did another -f install which rmed 57 pkgs(none neded or wanted) and installed gnome.desktop and some others. No flashplayer-nonfree, so manually installed. However, flashplugin-nonfree doesn't show up in mozilla about plugins. Rmed pluginreg.dat and restarted kde but still not any flash* entries in about.plugins. Do I need to copy /usr/share/app-install/desktop/flashplugin-nonfree.desktop to somewhere in my $HOME dir to get it to show and work? /etc/init.d/flashplugin-nonfree restart gave no errors and outputted this: * Restarting ESD-mode for Macromedia Flash Sorry to milk this thread but all related to the last upgrade to install flash*-nonfree. Appreciate any comments/suggestions to get flash*-nonfree functioning properly.

I think I figured it out the last time looking at my ~/.xsession-errors to get the clue I needed to zero in on what needed to be done. > I have tried Ctrl+Alt+F1, stopping KDM, reconfiguring xserver with the > correct video drivers, screen resolutions, etc., starting KDM. What's I'd try first is log into the virtual console, stop KDM, and then try startx See if that works. If not, try xinit If X init comes up to a screen with a hideous moiré pattern and an xterm window, then mouse over to the xterm (if your mouse is working) and try startkde from there. If that works, you can start KDE with xinit /usr/bin/startkde If that doesn't work, you can bring KDE up piece by piece too. From the xterm, you can kwin & Which gets you a window manager, then kdesktop & kicker & which should give you a more comfortable and graphical place from which to poke around and try to discover the trouble. Hopefully you don't have a situation so broken as to require anything that raw. I think it's neat to do this just to emphasize how all the little pieces of KDE function independently of each other though. X with no window manager sucks, but I've used straight X with kwin for hours trying to surf the web and figure out WTF was going wrong with my setup. (Because trying to surf the web with lynx or links from a text console is horrible.) Anyway... Try ~/.xsession-errors first. -- D.

Running everything as it came from the repos. I run the ati driver. Which one? The free one that has broken 3D ("ati" I think), or the proprietary one ("fglrx" maybe)? Not directly related, but I had all kinds of trouble with that proprietary driver on Debian Sid. I got the system to such an incredibly screwed up state that I cut my losses and format/reinstalled for the first time since 2001. It was that bad. I thought my computer was dead. The timer was running 4X too fast, the screen was flashing at a frenetic rate in text mode. All because of that stupid proprietary ATI driver, and even rebooting to use the other one did not solve the problem. I had to power the machine all the way off to make whatever that driver had done to it, some persistent bad hardware state, go away. That was when I switched to Kubuntu, actually. I decided to reinstall with Kubuntu, and try the whole "regular stable snapshot" idea on for size. So far, so good, but I'm running Dapper, not Edgy. I decided "LTS" sounded really good after that mess. It really was quite bad, and I'm the kind of guy who has rebuilt a partition table from scratch, installed Debian from scratch onto a running Mandrake that was still running (and it booted, and worked!), and all kind of crazy extreme hacker things like that (mostly in my younger days, mind.) I don't scare easily, and this scared me. I don't know that I'm offering you any real advice here. Just sympathy. I hate ATI. I will NEVER buy ATI again. -- D.

So to have something like grip show the disks contents, I believe it reads the first of the disk for the first track, obtains the tracksize and its hash number, then seeks ahead to the next track and repeats till no more tracks are found. then it takes the hash of the track, and looks them up on cddb to translate that to the actual name of the track. Or something like that. The only other place the track titles have ever existed is on the printed cd case insert. So just use grip, kscd, whatever, which has all that built in to survey what you have. > >Major Thanks - >Rich -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

I just managed to get it to work, but on the most weird way: Right Click -> "auto spell check" THEN yes, it works... but setting this option to be on by default in the Preferences, does not work; and "Settings" -> "Automatic Spell Check", is simply "gray" <--> "not available".

If you want to learn some more about the command line, aptitude is basically the best package manager in the universe. It's small, fast, and isn't too presumptuous, yet it still has a element of "automagic" to it that saves time.

It should be a tearful face. It seemed like Mandriva dropped it because active development of kat was basically stopped after that disaster.

A new tool of this kind is "strigi", you can find it in the repos. It's the new project of the former developer of kat. It's way faster than beagle/kerry (it's written in c instead of mono), but it's in very early stage of development. Also, version 0.3.8 (in repos) seems to have a bug that causes massive cpu usage. Another interesting project is "tracker", but it seems Gnome-oriented: I can't find a gui for kde...

I collect about 100-200 MB of data each year, and a good 60-120 megs of that is in my browser cache. It's mainly quirky things I've downloaded. I have a hard time imagining how someone can gather gigabytes of *searchabe* (non-video/audio) content per year. > It is amazing to me that it's not only faster to find stuff on the Internet > than it is on my hard drive, but it's orders of magnitude faster. Think of all those Google search servers, the big RAID arrays... And also think: it's in Google's best interest if their search takes a shorter time. That way they can process more querys with fewer servers, which is cheaper for them. It wouldn't be economical to them if every time you searched it monopolized a search server entirely for a few minutes. I don't find it amazing because, simply put, they've got so much more firepower than all my computers combined it's really a wonder they're not faster. And I own 5 computers (I'm lucky and nerdy). -- ========== 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?

Untarred the gz from the above link and the plugin.so file is the same size as the one in my /usr/lib/firefox/plugins dir. Diff of the /tmp/libflashplayer.so and the one in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins show no difference. When I go to a site with flash content and do flash conf or setup it shows flash7 not flash9. In one of replies in the past, someone on the list said I had to setup a link in /etc/alternatives for flash to work. I have that symlink in /etc/alternatives for flash7 but nothing for flash9. These are some of the issues I have in trying to setup flash9-plugin. The libflashplayer.so is in the firefox plugin dir but not in the mozilla plugin dir(and no symlink). I'm using a global setup having rmed all references to plugins and mplayerplug-in from $HOME trying to simplify my setup. I am not all that familiar with the ways of linux setup. Could you please offer some suggestion on how to setup flashplugin-nonfree as I've read the readme text from the untarred file an as far as I see it should work for a global(root) setup. I have no idea when or why one must use /etc/alternatives for setup. Does flashplugin-nonfree show up in your about.plugins if you use mozilla browser? Do you have a symlnk in /etc/alternatives for flashplugin-nonfree? Is one needed? I assume the answer is yes to the question "Do I need a symlnk for libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ to the /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so file." Do I need to copy /usr/share/app-install/desktop/flashplugin-nonfree.desktop to somewhere in my $HOME dir to get it to show and work?

Some are scattered in different places throughout the Help and Wiki sites. Here are two Adept related pages: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/AdeptHowto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu Other than that, if you encounter specific problems with Adept, you'd have to ask about it.

Well, ~/.xsession-errors reports that it can't find a device 166. I then look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see sections for a wacom tablet - something I have not got. I remove the wacom sections from /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot (just to _everything_ starting _all_ over. Still no login with KDM, although the "device 166" reports are gone from ~/.xsession-errors There are some KDE IO errors still though, which I suspect to be the problem. I have no idea what sort of IO they are though. This is the ~/.xsession-errors: ---o--- Xsession: X session started for johnny at ons nov 8 17:15:57 CET 2006 startkde: Starting up... startkde: kpersonalizer not found!

I get a blue screen for a few seconds. Then Light grey screen with a horisontal row of blue squares for the KDE initialisation process. Hard freeze.

As soon as I open a window, or move a window, the system freezes hard. Thank you for your suggestions Mr. McIntyre. Any ideas, now that you can see my ~/.xsession-errors ?

Maybe you could go into the xterm from xinit and try to run kdeinit and/or kded directly, and see if they report anything useful when run that way. I don't know. If I had the box in front of me, I might be able to puzzle this out, or I might not. It feels no better than 50/50 if I were sitting at your keyboard.

Can't believe as many times I've seen about:plugins in mozilla address bar that I mistyped the syntax in firefox so many times but I did.

The /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox directory is a symlink to /usr/lib/firefox . I'd make sure that they are all the same version of the plugin by looking at the file sizes. You don't have to copy the file to all the directory's, symlinks will do. For your copy of firefox it should be in /opt/firefox/plugins, I'm not sure if it will look in the /usr/lib/firefox directory. But you could copy all the files in there to /opt/firefox and link /usr/lib/firefox to /opt/firefox so everything will be in the right place. A "not so neat" way of making sure you only use the one plugin is to delete all the other libflashplayer.so files/links and replace/link them with the one you downloaded. The one in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins will be right because that's the directory Konqueror looks in, so you can link from there.

Knowing which one Konqueror uses helps a lot. I'll put symlinks everywhere else and from then on I'll only have to know that one spot. I'm not using the firefox in /opt. Do you by any chance know the best way to uninstall it? Do you think I could just remove /opt/firefox?

Since you have a separate /boot partition and an XFS root partition, I will assume you have a reasonably high level of technical ability. You should just be able to migrate in the following way: 1) Partition the new drive with a similar partition scheme 1a) Mount the new root partition somewhere 1b) Create the /boot directory in it and mount the new boot partition there. 2) Copy everything over to the new partitions except /sys, /dev and /proc, using cp -a (be sure to use -a here) 3) Create those three directories (just with mkdir) 4) Edit /etc/fstab on the new root partition to point to the SATA drive instead of the IDE drive. 5) Install grub on the new drive (With something like grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/newroot /dev/sda) 6) Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst in the new boot partition to point to the new drive. a) Change the root option in the default kernel options to point to the new root partition b) Change the root option for grub to point to the new drive. This might be tricky due to grub's numbering scheme, depending on what you are doing with the old drive. If you are removing it, you might not need to change anything. c) Run update-grub on the new partition's menu.lst. It appears that you will have to use chroot to do so (I think chroot /mnt/newroot /sbin/update-grub will work) 7) Reboot, and hope that everything works. If grub isn't set up correctly, remember that you can always go to the grub menu and press e to temporarily change the grub configuration for the selected option.

Was this installation from scratch or an upgrade from 6.06? I haven't been following closely, but the last time I checked, the problems were all with upgrades. That's certainly my experience: the upgrade was horribly hosed, but a from-scratch install on the same machine went fine.

No idea what they do, though. I wouldn't dare touch any of them. In any case, it seems pretty clear (to me, anyway; others may disagree) that desktop search in Linux is very much in its infancy. All the entrants in the race seem to be very rough as yet. Not that there's anything at all wrong with that. It's just that having been reading hype about desktop dearch for something like 18 months now, I was kind of hoping that there was a practical tool that might be usable, but it seems not. I do realise that it's a hard problem to do desktop search properly. Finding stuff is only half the battle; it has to be shown in its correct context too (IM conversations, calendar appointents, ODT or PDF documents, etc), and of course it has to be fast and thorough. So I'll just keep waiting and periodically testing the waters. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, etc. From vayu at sklinks.com Fri Nov 10 04:48:14 2006 From: vayu at sklinks.com (Vayu) Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2006 20:48:14 -0800 Subject: Kubuntu 6.10 Report (Positive) In-Reply-To: <256f4e900611092001r7d6a29aei30bfa43c2a63dc4d@mail.gmail.com> References: <200611101352.44328.richard.jenkins@internode.on.net> <256f4e900611092001r7d6a29aei30bfa43c2a63dc4d@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <4554048E.5090407@sklinks.com> D.

The upgrade basically hosed my system, then a fresh install on the same machine went well (except I did have to add a new xorg line to reserve video memory, it took me two days till I found the line but it really was just a one line fix). Now that machine seems good, but I'm not about to play around with my main desktop nor laptop. I've run XP on one machine happily for 5 years, I'm perfectly happy with Dapper for a while. With my current Dapper setup I have the best system hardware and software wise that I've ever had in 20 years. Why get greedy for a little faster boot.

Set up the printer in the Ubuntu print manager -- in System Settings -- as normal. Then, in Adobe Reader, set the printer command to: /usr/bin/kprinter --stdin Adobe Reader will then generate PostScript and feed it to that command which will, in turn, display a normal KDE print dialog allowing you to select your destination printer, etc. Regards, Daniel -- Digital Infrastructure Solutions -- making IT simple, stable and secure Phone: 0401 155 707 email: contact at digital-infrastructure.com.au http://digital-infrastructure.com.au/ From f.borges at rug.nl Fri Nov 10 09:19:20 2006 From: f.borges at rug.nl (Francisco Borges) Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2006 10:19:20 +0100 Subject: Kubuntu 6.10 Report (Positive) In-Reply-To: <256f4e900611092001r7d6a29aei30bfa43c2a63dc4d@mail.gmail.com> References: <200611101352.44328.richard.jenkins@internode.on.net> <256f4e900611092001r7d6a29aei30bfa43c2a63dc4d@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <20061110091920.GA24942@let.rug.nl> : On Thu, Nov 09, 2006 at 09:01PM -0700, D.

I'm not in the habit of formatting/reinstalling to upgrade, but I do use a new hard drive as an opportunity to sweep up all the cruft. (I ran Sid for years, and wound up with a lot of crufty little tidbits that broken packages never dealt with properly.) I take a copy of /usr/local, /usr/src, and /etc, and put them on the /home partition before the move. It works well, though the result over time is I have an unbelievable amount of cruft in my ~ directory. I have several forgotten /etc directories, configuration files for hundreds or thousands of applications I don't even remember running, etc. I'm going to have to clean it up one of these days, but cleaning a computer is about as interesting as cleaning a real house, and it's so much easier just to jam unlabeled brown boxes in the closet to deal with some other day. I have a BIG closet now. I won't have to face the contents of those boxes for years. :D -- D.

Hi Eduard, The easiest way to fix this is to edit the GRUB file manually. Use the command 'sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst' and type the following at the end of the file: title Microsoft Windows rootnoverify(hd0,0) chainloader +1 boot Press CTRL+X to save and exit, reboot your PC, and Windows will be in the GRUB boot menu. :) I'm assuming that /dev/hdc is your first (or only) hard drive - if it's not you'll need to substitue rootnoverify(hd1,0) (if it's your second drive) or rootnoverify(hd2,0) (if it's your third drive). Hope that helps!

The reinstall grub trick is in the case that you had a properly placed windows and reinstalled it. The reinstall would have overwritten the MBR and reinstall grub at that point will get you your Linux back.

I have had a completely different experience with Edgy than what you all are saying. I love using the most updated system and like to use newer software, even bleeding edge as long as they are relatively stable and usable, but I found Edgy to be horrible. First, I tried a dist-upgrade to the Edgy RC on my laptop to only have it kill the system on my laptop. I then tried to re-install from the disk (as I have had problems in the past using Dist-upgrade) and it seemed okay at first, but, then I noticed Edgy did not detect my wireless card that Dapper detected without any problem. After a couple hours of looking around I was finally able to get it working as Edgy did not install some packages that where automatically installed in Dapper. Next, my camera was also not detected, not at all. The Camera is nothing special, a HP M22 that haves been detected by Dapper and Breezy without any problem. I tried for a couple hours and never was able to get Edgy to detect the camera and I can not use Edgy if I can't use my camera with it. Then I gave up on Edgy when I did a standard update of the system (Without any extra repositories activated) and have the update kill the system. Adept updater said there was, somehow, over 130 packages to be updated and when I tried to do the update the system crashed part of the way through and would not restart. Was there some serious bug fixes between the release candidate and the final release of Edgy? It seems unlikely as they where less than a week apart. If Edgy is now stable and usable and will detect the same devices Dapper did, I would like to give it a try on my two computers again. Just in case you want to know, I have posted my laptop's specs below.

Pretty easy! Thanks, Jody. Now just for curiosity: what is the exact function of chainloader? Is it the same as chain-loading? I have checked the grub tutorial but it is not clear to me, specially because in the ubuntu forum someone said that chainloader can be used to synchronise the grubs between two ubuntu distros installed in different partitions. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have a couple of remote drives that I connect to via Samba. Here are the lines from my /etc/fstab file: //Hagrid/richard /home/richard/Hagrid smbfs uid=richard,gid=richard,username=richard,password=****** 0 0 //Hagrid/our_music /home/richard/Music smbfs uid=richard,gid=richard,username=richard,password=****** 0 0 //Hagrid/shared_files /home/richard/Shared smbfs uid=richard,gid=richard,username=richard,password=****** 0 0 For some reason, these shares do not mount automatically on boot. Usually I end up executing: $ sudo mount -a from a terminal after starting up the computer, which I don't mind doing. Today, however, things have started to go wrong. About a minute or so after I execute the mount -a command, my home directory becomes unavailable, as do the mounted Samba shares beneath it. If I try: $ ls from in my root directory, it just hangs. And hangs and hangs and hangs. I can stop the process with ^c, but that seems pointless. I also cannot browse the mounted shares. If I execute: $ sudo umount -a Then I can browse my home directory just fine. I've tried restarting the Samba server (which runs Fedora Core 3), I've tried rebooting my desktop computer, I've tried rebooting both computers, I've tried disabling and re-enabling IPv6 in my computer, but nothing has helped.

You're playing with customization settings when you try to remove anything that's part of the base kubuntu desktop. Removing it pulls off the kubuntu-desktop package, which contains a lot of config stuff. So, you should be willing to just allow these unused apps to sit there. If you want to remove the menu items, you can just edit your menu to delete them. If you have a space problem, you could try using the equivs package, which would enable you to make dummy packages to meet the dependecies you are breaking by removing those packages. Read the man:/equivs-build and equivs-control for info on how to use it. regards, From ylan.segal at gmail.com Sat Nov 11 05:33:32 2006 From: ylan.segal at gmail.com (Ylan Segal) Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2006 21:33:32 -0800 Subject: Kubuntu 6.10 Report (Positive) References: <200611101352.44328.richard.jenkins@internode.on.net> <256f4e900611092001r7d6a29aei30bfa43c2a63dc4d@mail.gmail.com> <20061110091920.GA24942@let.rug.nl> Message-ID: Francisco Borges wrote: > : On Thu, Nov 09, 2006 at 09:01PM -0700, D.

As far as I understand it, chainloader simply hands control over to the Windows XP boot loader (ntldr) that's installed in that partition. Glad it works!

That's the one! I actually found it by digging out an old knoppix CD and firing up the laptop. Unfortunately it's, like you said, not available anymore :-( It was so easy to make quick adjustments to photos using kuickshow. Is there a similar app out there that will do what kuickshow could do?

So far as I know, the disappearance of Kuickshow is strictly a Kubuntu thing. There are lots of "where is Kuickshow?" hits on google, and they all seem to have Kubuntu in them somewhere. They want you to switch to Gwenview. This was one of the reasons I kept running Debian on my own boxes for so long, even though I had long since migrated all my users to Kubuntu. In the end, I wound up getting used to using Gwenview on other people's machines, and when I eventually migrated to Kubuntu myself, I decided to just go with the flow, and switch to Gwenview myself. Kuickshow was faster, and smarter in many ways, but OTOH Gwenview has one big advantage, in that you can just rename a file you're looking at, instead of having to Save As the file with a useful name. It's kind of a wash whether it's worth any bother to restore Kuickshow. -- D.

Hence the reason it's no longer in *Ubuntu. Mandriva keeps packages around for years and years, even after being unmaintained and they rebuild them against a newer KDE/Gnome or whatever. I know this well since I ran the distro for 4+ years and still build packages for the distro. It's crazy, but it's true. kuickshow is a goner in most all distros. -- With kind regards, Cliff Wade (Hawkwind) Registered Linux User #362532 Registered Kubuntu User #331 http://seerofsouls.com http://linuxfordummies.org http://urpmi-addmedia.org IRC Channels (irc.freenode.net): #LFD #Kubuntu #Ulteo -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Interesting....I dont believe it is dying, the laptop is not a year old and the drive worked perfectly with MS Windows XP just last week. Neither can it be a badly burnt or damaged disk, since the drive is empty. Personally I am leaning toward a configuration file/setting of some sort. I noticed on this last bootup that the error began at the hardware abstraction layer hald. I am wondering if something is telling LINUX to try to read the drive despite the fact that nothing is in it. I am at a loss to know where to begin looking for such a file. Having said all of this you did confirm that it was as issue involving the CD/DVD drive--which brings me a quarter step closer to a solution.

Another place to keep an eye on is "/var/log/messages" which you can follow using : 'tail -f /var/log/messages' as command. Another thing is to check system services (system settings -> advanced -> system services) and look if 'laptop-mode" is running. If it is, stop it and see if these error messages go away. If so, disable that service at boot time ........ your laptop will run fine without it. It's only needed/used for power saving by spinning down a drive that hasn't been accessed for a while. -- Good luck, HarM.

Wow, my laptop powered off about the time I clicked send I wasn't sure it actually went anywhere. Schoolbell is a calender server, supposedly. It's in one of the repositories, and is developed, evidently, by the Shuttleworth foundation. You can overlay calendars, assign rights to certain levels, etc. etc. However, everytime I try to add a person (its name for a user) or whenever I try to change anything it bombs out on me. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! http://risenbooks.com Christian bookstore From larryhartman50 at bellsouth.net Sun Nov 12 02:46:27 2006 From: larryhartman50 at bellsouth.net (Larry Hartman) Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2006 21:46:27 -0500 Subject: Continuous Error Code in TTY consoles In-Reply-To: <200611111957.19104.larryhartman50@bellsouth.net> References: <45560429.2080306@weblore.com> <20061112001443.2a0a905a.triade-lists@zeelandnet.nl> <200611111957.19104.larryhartman50@bellsouth.net> Message-ID: <200611112146.27892.larryhartman50@bellsouth.net> This topic covered in Kubuntu forums without solution: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=6750.0 On Saturday 11 November 2006 19:57, Larry Hartman wrote: > > Take a look at what "dmesg" tells you about these errors, should be > > mentioned there somewhere.

I tried running the command with no parameters and it gives a usage. I ran it with the list command, and it showed my sound card as a "live", which I'm assuming means my Soundblaster Live and is correct. With my ignorance of the command, I have no idea what the other commands are doing or what commands I should be using.

Actually, what is it... alsaconf? I think it's alsaconf. It's not part of Kubuntu that I can see... Hrm. I give up. Hell. Here. It's just a bash script. I've fished it off my last remaining Debian box and attached it to this message. Save as ~/alsaconf Then sudo sh ~/alsaconf That should do it. No idea if it will work its magic (it's old) but it's worth a whack. I seem to recall using this to good effect on some box I fiddled with recently (within the last six months or so.) -- D.

Libdvdcss(2) shouldn't have any consequences for mounting or not. It does look like your drive is continuously trying to read a disk that isn't there. Meaning some app is trying to read from it, thus mounting it or keeping it mounted. That wouldn't be 'kaffeine' (or the likes) sitting in your tray by any chance? or clicking the "close" button doesn't stop it, you need or "quit" from the "file" menu for that. -- Good luck, HarM.

A few questions remain: -> CPU-Fan: Using Gentoo, the Fan only turned on a few times when not having a huge system load - now it's running most of the time. I have ibm_acpi loaded (v0.12a), "Dynamic Clocks" configured in Xorg and 'powernowd' installed, so the CPU is mostly on 600MHz. Where's the difference I'm looking for? Any ideas? 'rovclock' to downclock my ATI graphics card is not a solution to me, since it's static and not load driven. -> KMilo / OSD: Using Gentoo, I installed and configured 'tpb' and 'xosd' to get an "On Screen Display" for Volume, Brightness and Thinklight switching. While Kubuntu's Kmilo looks better than plain old 'xosd', it just displays Volume changes - the other buttons work, but are not causing KMilo to act. Is there a way to configure KMilo this way (it hasn't an entry in KDE's control center), or do I have to switch to 'tpb/xosd'? -> What's the "Kubutu Way" to get Function-Buttons like Fn-F4 to suspend or Fn-F12 to hibernate to work? In Gentoo, I hacked myself some ACPI-scripts, but maybe this is integrated somewhere else in Kubuntu? After all I'd like to call the very same script KDE's Power Manager calls (maybe via DCOP?), since it just works and I want to keep things consistent. -> Grub (strange and very low priority): Grub's frame around it's menu seems to be bigger or centered vertically in a different way to my former Gentoo installation. My Grub menu doesn't fit to my background image anymore (or even the Kubuntu/Ubuntu stock images), since it's overlapping the areas on the background picture. Anyone has a clue on this?

Driven from Gentoo by fear of having to recompile everything all the time? Heh... me too. I ended up on Fedora, which is interesting. I still remember enough of Kubuntu to not unsubscribe from this list though. > A few questions remain: > > -> CPU-Fan: Using Gentoo, the Fan only turned on a few times when not having a > huge system load - now it's running most of the time.

It's using binaries that are custom-fit to your laptop. Kubuntu uses less fine-tuned binaries, and thus uses more juice. It's just a tradeoff, though I'm positive there's a more elegant solution that will fix your fan. I just gave up and decided it's not worth my effort (being a happy IBM X40 owner myself). > -> KMilo / OSD: Using Gentoo, I installed and configured 'tpb' and 'xosd' to > get an "On Screen Display" for Volume, Brightness and Thinklight switching. > While Kubuntu's Kmilo looks better than plain old 'xosd', it just displays > Volume changes - the other buttons work, but are not causing KMilo to act.

Yes, I have had it working (under Gentoo) and it now works under Fedora (Core 6). I never had it working to begin with under Kubuntu (which I used before Gentoo) but that was because I was a total newbie and couldn't tell a LKM from a java applet. > -> What's the "Kubutu Way" to get Function-Buttons like Fn-F4 to suspend or > Fn-F12 to hibernate to work?

If memory serves, once you get the first problem solved (getting the tpd/xosd things to work) the fn-f3 stuff all comes quietly after that. > -> Grub (strange and very low priority): Grub's frame around it's menu seems > to be bigger or centered vertically in a different way to my former Gentoo > installation.

Rebuild your xpm.gz image to the new resolution... I don't know, really. I'm horrible at making grub splashes (never figured out how many colors it needed - really funny story) so your probably already several lightyears ahead of me there. -- ========== GCv3.12 ========== GCS d-(++) s+: a?

I know I at least wrote something somewhere, but right now I cannot remember if it was at kubuntuforums, ubuntuforums or some other place. I will try something out of the top of my head, and then hopefully others will join in and correct me where I go wrong. I assume that you have both disk partitions mounted at the start of the procedure. I will name them old root and new root below. I also assume that you have proper backup of everything you need to have backed up! The general procedure: 1. copy contents of "old root" partition to "new root" partition 2. unmount "/" (which was "old root") 3. mount "new root" as "/" 4. optionally mount "old root" as some other moount point (not "/") Assuming again that you are familiar with the mounting and unmounting, the copying of a possibly large data volume (step 1) is the tricky thing here. IMHO the best option for this is not "cp" but rsync command. I recommend "rsync -As". There are a few trickies on how to write the source and target adress, check the man page for detailed info.

That way you would be required to mount the DVD 'manually' with "mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom" ..... I'm not sure if you could mount to '/media/cdrom" i.e if the mountpoint would be there. That would clear the errors of the TTY's until you find the solution. -- Good luck, HarM.

Nah, it should be OK. I've copied / from one place to a bigger place lots of times on a running system. The main thing is don't try to copy /dev, /proc, /sys, and maybe a few other /blah directories now. What is /srv? Just create empty directories on the new partition. Don't copy whatever place you have the new partition mounted. That's an easy dumb-dumb to do. Another one is if you are building a new / but want to keep an existing /home, then don't copy /home. And so forth. Just random comments without bothering to read your link. Hope I'm not beating a dead horse and/or leading anyone down a wrong path by being lazy and shooting my mouth off without reading the whole context. -- D.

Heh... me too. Yup, sort of - at least on my Thinkpad. Too much torture for my poor baby when emerging heavy weight champions like KDE or Qt. I'm still happy with Gentoo on my desktop box, nevertheless. My router/fileserver runs Debian since ages. ;-) > Well, Gentoo is more efficient than Kubuntu by the very nature of it. > It's using binaries that are custom-fit to your laptop. Kubuntu uses > less fine-tuned binaries, and thus uses more juice. I doubt that this is the reason for my fan spinning up more often - Windows binaries aren't custom-fit to my thinkpad, either. But I'll keep my eyes open to find a "more elegant solution". Maybe it needs a little kernel tweaking, I'm still on Kubuntu's generic one - it does a pretty good job yet. > > While Kubuntu's Kmilo looks better than plain old 'xosd', it just displays > > Volume changes - the other buttons work, but are not causing KMilo to act. The solution to this problem was installing 'kmilo-legacy', which adds Thinkpad and Sony-Vaio support to KDE's control center. Volume, Brightness and Thinklight changes are now displayed via Kmilo's OSD, my "Access IBM" button is configurable and working, too. Volume adjustments show up some strange behaviour now, not being in synch with KMix's levels.

I solved this following the workaround found at: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuPowerManagementFeedback The HAL based Kubuntu Powermanagemet solution seems to work much more reliable than scripting around in /etc/acpi/. I hope this will be integrated into Kpowersave soon. Thanks and kind regards, Jens -- Now that I have my "APPLE", I comprehend COST ACCOUNTING!!

I did some digging on the Ubuntu forums as I couldnt track the issue down in Kubuntu forums....here is what I found (below), that for the moment appears to have solved the problem. You will all know tomorrow, if after receiving another email about this concern from me that it didnt work (tongue-in-cheek).... Larry http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=135598&highlight=cdrom This appears to be an HP lightscribe related problem. Hi, I noticed the following errors on /var/log/kern.log: Feb 24 15:01:26 sneezy kernel: [4298612.008000] hdb: error code: 0x70 sense_key: 0x02 asc: 0x30 ascq: 0x00 Feb 24 15:01:28 sneezy kernel: [4298614.069000] hdb: error code: 0x70 sense_key: 0x02 asc: 0x30 ascq: 0x00 Feb 24 15:01:30 sneezy kernel: [4298616.130000] hdb: error code: 0x70 sense_key: 0x02 asc: 0x30 ascq: 0x00 The error will never stop unless I mount a cdrom in the drive. Any clue what might cause this?? BTW I have an HP Pavilion dv1473ea laptop... The CDROM is a LightScribe+DVDP Same thing was happening to me on my dv8000 series (I have the dv8040). The system uses a lightscribe drive identified in /proc as: Code: TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-L532M I found this link and this link which helped me figure out the issue. It seems hald is polling the drive constantly causing my /var/log/syslog to fill up to almost 2gigs after a few days of computing. The issue can be fixed easily by leaving a cd or dvd in the drive or by telling HAL not to look at the drive al the time. open the file Code: /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-storage-policy.fdi and add the following code making sure to change /dev/hdc to match the device name of your lightscribe drive: Code: false So, at the top of the file edit the section: Code: true true true true true true to read: Code: false true true true true true true now just issue: Code: sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart and you are good to go.

I don´t know what I did... I tried to install some Mozilla Dictionary extension...that´s the only thing I can think of...but it did NOT successfully install. Anyway, since then, the top navigation bar (with: file edit view, etc.) is basically gone. I mean, I can see where it is supposed to be, but it is way tiny, and none of the menus are visible or accessible. And the status bar at the bottom now lacks the former icons to open moz-mail, composer, address-book, etc. Basically, moz is crippled, and lacking important function, for which LOVE it. I DLed the seamonkey project, to give that a shot, anyway, and it is functional, except the status bar on that is HUGE, taking up a good two inches of screen real estate, which basically sucks. Sure, I have Firefox and Thunderbird installed but THEY SUCK! Why? clicking on a mailto: link in Firefox does absolutely nothing. clicking on a link within a mail message in Thunderbird does absolutely nothing. I would have to go through a lot of annoying copying & pasting. And Firefox doesn´t tell you when Thunderbird has received a message, but Moz, while I am reading or working online, tells me that new mail has arrived. I need all of that functionality for my work, thus, I choose to have an integrated browser/mail suite (yeah, I and I sometimes even use composer for some basic page editing, too. It´s simple and lightweight, has both wysiwyg and html tabs, and is integrated with my browser...or was, until Moz stopped working). I would get better performance with Konq and Kmail, but I don´t like Kmail (I like Konq, I´ll admit). So...anyway, I´m not here to start a browser war...I just want my beloved Mozilla working functionally, or, Seamonkey to not have a 2 inch status bar. Tanto faz. Any ideas?

Cloning just takes a long time. When you boot into knoppix you must unmount the source and destination drives. command is #dd if=/dev/hada of=/dev/hdb where dev/hda is the source drive and dev/hdb is the destination drive. This makes an exact byte for byte copy including the mbr which may or may not be want you want. Afterwards you can boot to knoppix and adjust partition sizes with qtparted if you want. best RockyRedHead From binary_y2k2 at blueyonder.co.uk Mon Nov 13 06:59:10 2006 From: binary_y2k2 at blueyonder.co.uk (Tez) Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 06:59:10 +0000 Subject: Kubuntu Screencast In-Reply-To: <45577B8D.8020509@sklinks.com> References: <45573C7D.90201@blueyonder.co.uk> <45577B8D.8020509@sklinks.com> Message-ID: <455817BE.3050607@blueyonder.co.uk> Vayu wrote: > That was great.

There's a bug around that causes similar behaviour.

There is another piece of software you can use, but it only outputs ogg's [1] which are more difficult to edit, unless you try transcoding it in to mpeg or avi and edit it then. I record the video without sound then use audacity to narrate and join the wav and ogg with a script [2] that uses GStreamer. By edit I really mean splice in your header and footer.

I've been looking at seamonkey and it says that you need to uninstall mozilla-suite before installing seamonkey. It wasn't clear in your post if you had done that. It sounds like your mozilla-suite or some aspect of it is broken. In my case i would have tried a reinstall of mozilla suite or purge/install to fix mozilla-suite. Regarding your bookmarks, I don't know this for a fact, but suspect the file paths are different for seamonkey than for mozilla-suite. A little more detail on what you actually did in installing the extensions and seamonkey may help the gurus provide more appropriate answers. Since I'm thinking about installing seamonkey, because moz browser wont play embedds, I certainly curious as to what you actually did in detail.

On screen, the fonts are very small and ugly (like the old-time xterm fonts). An example of an Xfig error message is: Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-times-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-*-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,*--16-*" to type FontSet When I upgraded from Dapper to Edgy (using the 3-step apt-get method described in the R6.10 announcement), there were several error messages about fonts and locales, mostly thrown by perl, but there may have been others. This occurred on two separate computers, and both now have the Xfig problem.

Well, for one because ubuntu is built in such a way that you cannot log in as root....... ! Which way is safer, is a point of discussion... The sudo way of doing things is a nice way of giving responsibilities step by step, though.

If you only want one user then that user is a regular user until they use sudo then their password has the power of admin. If you then add another user, that password does not allow them to use sudo unless you specifically allow it by placing them in the admin group or by modifiying the sudoers file.

I'm not sure what issue you are having. Do the install, the user created during the install will be your user (who you can consider as root user when that user uses sudo). Then add new users.

I am glad you have found the solution. We are trying to replace old kmilo modules (now in kmilo-legacy package) with newer HAL/dbus based solution. The fact is that not everything is still working, but I hope we will be able to be very complete for next release (Feisty Fawn). In order to get this fully supported, it would be great if you could contribute more data about your laptop as requested on the following wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LukaRenko/Keycodes > The HAL based Kubuntu Powermanagemet solution seems to work much more > reliable than scripting around in /etc/acpi/.

I could not do so under GNOME. Here is the network structure in more detail: laptop wireless: 192.168.1.111, eth0 laptop wired: 192.168.1.11, eth1 desktop; 192.168.1.10 router: 192.168.1.109 DSL modem: 192.168.1.254 Two days ago I edited my /etc/iftab and /etc/network/interfaces files and replaced "eth0" (previously referred to my wired) with "eth1" (previously referred to my wireless) and vice versa. This allowed my wireless to become my default gateway, and stopped me from having to access my network manager window every time I logged into the laptop to use my network. I am able to gain access to the internet and my printer connected to the desktop. I am able to see my laptop-linux shared drive from the Win XP desktop. I cannot log into the desktop using the smb:// address, the router setup page, or the modem setup page from my Linux laptop. Win XP username, passwd, and workgroup name are set the same as Linux. This is precisely where I was at under GNOME and before I setup KDE. When I ping out to my desktop in a terminal window linux tries to send packets on eth1. I am speculating samba is trying to do the same, despite the fact that I did set the interfaces portion in the global section of /etc/samba/smb.conf to send out on eth0. Perhaps there is another config file that needs eth0/eth1 switched? ifconfig/iwconfig both show correct assignments for my ports. The ping command not going out on the right port suggest to me that somewhere linux is confused, might not just be a samba issue. Just to make sure that my switching eth0 with eth1 was not the cause, I undid the changes in the /etc/iftab and /etc/network/interfaces files and restarted the laptop. This had no affect, so now not only is my laptop confused, so am I! How do I go about troubleshooting this?

I have tried kmail and the same nags got me down too. But, just a suggestion, have a look at Sylpheed. It is in the universe repository and you can install it using adept. I have used it as my main email client for years and I personally think it is excellent. I have tried others, at the moment I use thunderbird as well. IMHO Sylpheed is easily the best and easiest to use. You have tremendous control over how it works, and the filters are great. It is so far the only one where I can say in a filter instruction 'Do not receive' which can be very useful. Apart from the nagging about kwallet, I didn't like kmail much anyway, so perhaps I am predjudiced. To all group members I recommend Sylpheed, have a look at it.

NOTE: You may have to expand the window, for some reason, it is hidden at the bottom. Also note: when I enter the sudo password here, that window goes blank until I resize it. You may have to, as well. Then, go to the Hardware tab, and make sure your monitor and video card are correctly selected. In my case, I have an nvidia 6800 clone card. My monitor (Microtek) does not appear in the list, so I usually select a Flat Panel 1280x1024. Once you've done that, and applied the new settings, you may have to restart X (CTRL-ALT-Backspace) then log back in. Go back to this same place and see if the slider bar on the "Size, Orientation & Positioning" Tab will allow you to select the resolution you want. You might have to try different "Generic" monitor settings to get what you want, also. Hope this helps. Setting up X is much easier than it used to be. You'll find the right settings fairly quickly, I'm sure. -- "Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master.

Try "Alt+i" and see if that opens the administration login. Also, if you press and hold the Alt key and then left click the mous and drag the window up, you still don't see an Administration button?

This is also something new since I upgraded to Edgy. I have posted the problem and asked for help but nobody has responded. I've heard that Edgy is supposed to handle fonts much better, but maybe the developers focused on new apps like Open Office and ignored old standby apps like Emacs and Xfig. Rodney D.

Edgy is on KDE 3.5.5 now, isn't it? Packages in Sid along the way broke fonts pretty badly. Maybe Edgy inherited this. It's possible. I downgraded KDE when I switched from Sid to Dapper (same /home). The solution was to turn off antialiasing, log out, log back in, and turn it back on. If that has no effect, and it doesn't sound likely that it will, then I would try using KDE's font installer to manually reinstall the fonts in question. System Administration -> Font Installer. There is a checkbox on there... Let's see... If you click the wrench icon, it pops up a dialog with two options, one of which is "Configure fonts for legacy X applications." This was turned off by default on my new Dapper install, and it sounds likely it could be the root of your trouble. I'd give that a whack. That KDE font installer Craig Drummond came up with does all kinds of arcane magical font things, and really works very, very well. I helped him idiot proof it. Nobody is a bigger idiot than I am when it comes to fonts in X11, and if I can install fonts that work with this thing, it's really good! Plus the obligatory: the reason emacs is broken is because it's emacs. You can fix this with sudo update-alternatives --set editor /usr/bin/vim Presto. :P I'm just taking wild potshots here, because you two sound pretty desperate for suggestions. I don't use xfig or emacs, and I'm going to skip Edgy and wait for the next LTS I think. (I got sick of stability problems, which is why I finally gave up Debian Sid after a really long, good run with my old pal Sid.) -- D.

If you're going to let KMail store the password in a less secure fashion, why not just go ahead and let Kwallet store it in a more secure fashion? What I did was supply the passwords (because I use KMail with multiple accounts) and a KWallet password, and then gave KMail (or Kontact) the ok to always open it. No more prompts, no worries. Not only that but if you want to use keys so sign messages KWallet comes in handy there too. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! http://risenbooks.com Christian bookstore From michael.mcintyre at rosegardenmusic.com Wed Nov 15 03:38:14 2006 From: michael.mcintyre at rosegardenmusic.com (D.

You can also open port 443 and use webdav (configure apache with webdav and make sure you require passwords for that directory structure) for the calendar and address book storage. However this does imply that you are always using your laptop or desktop (or some KMail that you can configure and secure). You also have to take care of your SMTP needs for this to be very useful (and you need to do this in a way that doesn't leave an open SMTP server obviously). You can use SMTP authentication for this purpose and use TLS to encrypt your SMTP traffic as well as put it on a different port that isn't so likely to be blocked. Another option is setup a VPN solution and then use desktop sharing over the VPN link. Another option is to setup an ssh session and tunnel X back over it and use the KMail application from the desktop computer using the laptop as the display. That is one of the really nice things about Linux/Unix and the X Window System. There are so many different options to do what you need to do. By the way, you might consider dyndns.org to map your dynamic ip address to a static name. There are also web solutions for some of these problems if you want to be able to work from any computer (nothing to install on the client side). -- Kelly L.

Have you tried creating a new user and see if it locks up then? When it locks up can you ctrl-alt-backspace or ctrl-alt-f1 successfully? If your machine is hard locking at seeming random times it sounds like a hardware issue. I would start by removing and re-seating all your cards, ram and cpu. Chances are a kernel oops is being reported but you only would only see that at the console. And if you are being told that user level applications were the source of the oops then it's pretty telling that it's a hardware problem. -- | "The most important gun saftey tip to remember is: | if you have a gun - you'll be safe!" | | Jason Straight | SkyCon.net 231-627-3528 | Jabber: leejunfan at jabber.org | Yahoo: jasonrstraight | ICQ: 1796276 | MSN: glock21-45cal at hotmail.com From gene.heskett at verizon.net Wed Nov 15 13:52:29 2006 From: gene.heskett at verizon.net (Gene Heskett) Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2006 08:52:29 -0500 Subject: Kmail Setup Change(?) - Edgy- In-Reply-To: <200611142145.06924.dhcolesj@gmail.com> References: <200611141554.14860.richard.jenkins@internode.on.net> <200611142145.06924.dhcolesj@gmail.com> Message-ID: <200611150852.29543.gene.heskett@verizon.net> On Tuesday 14 November 2006 22:45, Howard Coles Jr. wrote: >On Monday 13 November 2006 10:54 pm, Irena & Richard Jenkins wrote: >> I am the only user of this machine.

No more connection errors..." I had this issue intermittently. Thought it was due to low resources on those instances. Now I know it was a bug and I fixed it. Thanks again. One last question: I first went into the "Server Configuration" instead of the kprinter configuration. Seems no server is specified in this cups configuration tool. Would specifying 127.0.0.1:631 make this whole thing work better? I am used to using the browser interface http://127.0.0.1:631 > > Yep, that works.

They require at least as much additional free space as the deleted material, i.e. if the directory was 2 gb, you need another 2 gb or 4 gb total to do it. You can't have overwritten it. The deletion must be fresh. It is easier to recover small text files than large binary ones.

I also don't have my computers accessible over the web and don't want to. I do it using only the client. I'm using Thunderbird, so you would have to figure out the details with kmail. I keep my laptop on the local network, it downloads from my various pop accounts using Thunderbird. Then my desktop has Thunderbird pointing it's maildirectory and profile over to the laptop which is mounted as a local share using Samba and fstab. Everything I receive and send stays on the laptop. When I run out of the house with the laptop it has everything on it. When I go back home then my desktop accesses everything I've done while I was gone. (I actually do pretty much the same thing with all my data) (I would love to use kmail but my second desktop has windows, I have to use it often and I do the same trick with Thunderbird on that machine. I like kmail better but I haven't found a windows client that can read the kmail files from my laptop.)

I just recently upgraded to Edgy from Dapper, and for the most part, it has worked fine. But for some reason, I can't get into the GUI anymore.

All I was doing was switching the video card driver with a different one, since I suspect I had the wrong one. I didn't stop x.org though, because I couldn't figgure out how, and I did it wothout doing so before. Then suddenly my GUI went away, and just went to this screen where there was a blinking cursor, but nothing was there, and it wasn't doing anything, so I shut it down by pushing the power button. I should have done Ctrl + Alt + F1, but I didn't think of it. It showed the shuting down screen like it usually does when I shut down. When I booted back up, I selected the K7 Kernel like I usually did, but after the normal loading screen, it went into the terminal like it does in recovery mode. So I rebooted, thinking I pressed recovery mode by accident. But I noticed that it used the progress bar durring the loading screen. When I booted back up, I made sure to select the normal kernel, and it did the same thing. I rebooted again, and tried the recovery mode, but that did the same thing, except that it didn't show the progress bar. I tried the 386 kernel, but that did the same thing. I also tried other things, including running "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start" but I got a message saying the K desktop manager was already running. I also tried Ctrl + Alt + F7, but that just broght me back to the blank screen with the cusror. I tried to reconfigure the XServer with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", but that didn't help. I think there is something wrong with xorg.conf, but I don't think that reconfiguring the XServer is fixing it, since it gives me a message saying that it overwrote xorg.conf. I have read in many places that reconfiguring it fixes it, but it doesn't. I have no idea what to do, so I am asking for help. Is this a bug in Edgy mabye? I would really appreciate any help on this.

From your terminal, run sudo aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade OR sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.

Yes, it's definitely a known issue. This is exactly what happened to me, but at the time no one had posted a solution, so I ended up installing that machine from scratch. So I don't know whether that solution works (and would be interested to know if it does). Anyway, at least you now know that you weren't the only one who had this problem.

I am receiving all my emails in a server (running Kubuntu of course) with Thunderbird. than to read or write email, I access to the server (let's say your desktop) using vncviewer from any computer around the word. You have to use the Desktop sharing feature of KDE. All my email stay in the server. I'll soon use NX which is supposed to be better than VNC. Now to go back to your specific question using rsync to synchronize your email directory , I never test it , but it should work. you can also use Unison for that.

The problem seems to be that the location of fonts has changed from /usr/share/X11/fonts to /usr/share/fonts/X11. I've just solved the problem in xfig & emacs (but not katsudoku) by replacing the fontpaths section of xorg.conf with: Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/type1/t1-xfree86-nonfree" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype" # path to defoma fonts FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" EndSection I expect that removing the xorg configuration altogether and reconfiguring X would also work.

The reason is because once kde-system-settings or whatever the exact package is gets updated, then that file gets recreated if it's not there as .hidden. If you don't want anything in that file there then simply delete and recreate it as an empty file. Or just edit it and remove everything within the file and save again. If there is a file there, no matter what it may contain, when that package is updated, the file is *not* touched. AFAIK there is no GUI way of editing the file other than doing kdesu kwrite /.hidden Replace kwrite with your favorite GUI editor of choice. -- With kind regards, Cliff Wade (Hawkwind) Registered Linux User #362532 Registered Kubuntu User #331 http://seerofsouls.com http://linuxfordummies.org http://urpmi-addmedia.org IRC Channels (irc.freenode.net): #LFD #Kubuntu #Ulteo -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Under Dapper when I browsed audio CDs I was able to see folders containing WAV files, MP3s, Oggs . . . obviously not the contents of the CD itself, but a representation of it and the variants possible displayed in Konquerer. In Edgy, this is no longer present. Also, this explanation doesn't clarify why you can browse audio CDs under other operating systems . . .

Ubuntu606 implemetation is lacking some of them scanning as well There are bug reports regarding this. The good news is HPILP is easy to compile the cource (from HP via sourceforge has complet documentation on the process, to include what libarairies are necessary to do the job. Compiling the latest version will get all the functions working if the distro version doesn;t let you scanner scan. And you Need a front end, but not necessarily Xsane Look for Kooka...I think it is part of a default install of Kubunt.

This becomes a primary path for startig a program so if you have installed using one type of wine like crossover, and then installed say usin winetools, you COULD have conflicting scripts in that bin directory. It might be worth checking there. Also if you reinstalled wine later versions do NOT default the w98. AND the latest versions of wine seem almost regressions. On production machines I'm still using 20060725 from the Ubuntu repositories...9.09 and above broke things at least in Ubuntu. If you are getting all updates of your OS you may have updated yourself out of a working wine installation.

I tried Xsane and Kooka as Vayu suggested, which was already installed. I just didn't know what it was. I settled on Kooka because it is translated into Hebrew on my system.

Forget dealing with local IMAP servers, there's no need to add layers to a simple problem. All you need is to use maildir folders in kmail, and sync them. You will also probably want to sync .kde/share/config/kmailrc to get your filters synced, but then you may want to sync the whole .kde dir. Make some tests first to make sure it won't harm your configs. It will of course work better if the first time you sync, there's only one way for the kde configs (that you care about). After that, you can use rsync to preserve exactly what you want (i.e., preferrably one, or the latest, as in both are the same "desktop", that you may carry about). > Note that I plan on using the entire Kontact suite soon, and I'd liek > to have it syncronized between the machines as well. Thanks in > advance. I do sync all my home between my PC and a laptop, but the laptop only serves as a backup for me. I would speculate I could just sit at it and use it as my PC, but you can make some tests and conclude that on your own. regards FF From dgvirtual at akl.lt Fri Nov 17 11:03:29 2006 From: dgvirtual at akl.lt (Donatas G.)

The notebook tabs appear at the bottom of the notebook where they belong, but they are drawn upside down (as they would be if they were positioned at the top). My own applications created using wxPython demonstrate the same problem. I am on Kubuntu 6.10, Python 2.4.3, wxPython 2.7.2, and XRCed 0.1.7-5. I am told that the problem is due to a bug in the GTK theme, which is what draws the tabs. I am using the default Kubuntu theme. I thought of using System Settings to change from "Use my KDE style in GTK applications" to "Use another style", but the change does nothing and does not stick.

My problem: Elder Son has his box in his room. He is the only user on that box, and would be the user created at install. He is the only user on that box, and I do _not_ wont to give him sudo access to wreck his box. Up to now, with Mdk 10.1, for any admin work on it I either go to his room and log in as root, remote ssh as root, or use Webmin.

Just use the Adept package manager. In the 'manage repositories' you'll find the security entries. If they are greyed out, just uncomment them. Them run update. Piece of cake. Personally I prefer the Synaptic Package manager. Just _ sudo apt-get install synaptic When the security repos are enabled, you will get updates atomatically - the little round alert on you taskbar.

I can't really see the difference. If you are the one to set up his box, just use your own account. Then create your son as a new user. He will not have the power to do harm. If something needs root access, just use your own account, log out. Done.

Bingo. Then visudo and comment out the line giving sudo to people in the admin group, or take your son out of the admin group. You could do what the others are suggesting too, of course, and have more than one user account on the box, etc. I've done it both ways on Kubuntu boxes, and am currently just going with the flow (no usable root account) because it's the lazy thing to do. -- D.

IIRC, Thunderbird stores each folder in a separate Mbox. You will need to import each Mbox separately (so you can pick which ones you want). Maildir is better in my experience. More robust (file corruption only costs you one message, not the entire folder) and faster.

Welcome! Well done for determination. I would also consider sending a replacement CD if the first did not arrive ok. Maybe the postal service people would like a few to try for themselves? It is possible, - maybe consider this? Security updates- these are usually received by online downloading. You will have a choice about which updates to download. It is best to use all of them.

Not all of them for sure, but enough of them to assume they all have been. They're really not here either. The message that prompted me to ask the question isn't anywhere in ~/Mail. I remember enough of the words to have a good shot at grepping it if it's there somewhere, and it seems to have evaporated. I don't have anything unusual here.

The error you're seeing is caused by either the username or the password being incorrect. What you typed at install time and what you're typing now do not match for whatever reason of human error. The way to fix this is pretty complicated, and unless you just like adventure, I think your best bet at this point would be to just to install again, and pay more attention to your username and password next time. Type slowly, and make sure you're really typing what you've written down.

Are you entering them *exactly* as you did previously? If so, you must have written one of them down incorrectly. I'd try this: * Restart and select the "recovery mode" option. Assuming that you didn't create a "root" password, the boot process should eventually stop at a "#" prompt. * At the "#" prompt, enter the following: passwd your_user_name This will either tell you that the user name is not valid or ask for a password. If the user name is not valid, enter the following to get a list of user names on your system: less /etc/passwd Many of these won't look familiar. You're probably looking for one that has the number "1000" as the third colon-separated field; the associated user name is the first field. It's probably at or near the end of the file. Here's what my user entry looks like: steve:x:1000:1000:Steve Grace,,,:/home/steve:/bin/bash Use the Page Up and Page Down keys to move through the file, and "q" to exit when you get to the end of the file. If you're asked for a password, enter your password, and then enter it again when asked to confirm the password. * At the "#" prompt, enter "exit" to continue the boot process. Good luck!

It's not *complicated* as the first person stated. It's actually very very simple.

The only way I have been able to actually get it to boot and shutdown without hassle or/and getting stuck now and then was to remove the splash and silent mode. Go to /boot/grub in a shell, cp menu.lst to whatever (for backup) and then edit menu.lst Remove the "splash" and "quiet" (or is it silent?) from the line containing your kernel (pretty far down, there is a load of comments first). Save and reboot. Solved the problem for me, don't ask why. Have tried putting splash back and always get problems. > > Btw, am i the only one noticing a big regression in user friendlyness > of edgy compared to dapper.

There are certainly a lot I don't like about Edgy. Have not reverted back to Dapper since I need some features in the kernel that are not supported by Dapper.

On sub-folders you can set a property that mail sent as replies stays in the subfolder instead of going to send mail. I use this a lot and have noticed that at times it seems to change this property for unknown reasons. It can also be the order you have set for sorting mail in sent mails folder that simply "hides" the sent emails.

Message-ID: <200611201242.26777.renaud@olgiati-in-paraguay.org> I have started downloading the .iso file for burning an OS DVD. Problem: - The file is _BIG_ (3.4 GB) and the download takes around six days. - The power supply here in Paraguay does not last that long without power cuts, specially at this time of the year. -When the UPS battery runs out the computer shuts down in an orderly manner, closing all the progs that are running at the time. -And when you close down Konqueror in the middle of a download it deletes the xxx.iso.part file. This already happened to me twice, each time around 1.2 GB or 30% of the download; AAAAAAAAARGH ! (feel better already ;-3) Solution: A cron job that will, every hour: cp -f xxx.iso.part xxx.iso.part.bak That way at the worst I now only loose one hour's worth of download, as I can cp xxx.iso.part.bak xxx.iso.part and resume the download.

Better solution methinks; Either use Ktorrent if possible (will nicely resume downloading but can take for ever) or download KGet and use it as download manager, will also allow resume of downloads - given that the site in question allows it.

Better solution methinks; Either use Ktorrent if possible (will nicely resume downloading but can take for ever) or download KGet and use it as download manager, will also allow resume of downloads - given that the site in question allows it. Or, go to the web site and request a handful (up to 10?) CDs be sent to you. Since it sounds like the o.p. is downloading the ISO via dialup, I would say the the bandwidth of the postal service might be a tad faster ;^).

I don't think so as I run the same software on a PII with only 366 MHz and 256 MB of RAM, and while response times are sometimes around one second, it's definitely usable.

I've recently been able to up the memory to 640MB and the problem isn't nearly as bad, but some Java based sites still manage to cause Firefox to hog the cpu. On the dapper system, 700MHz Celeron and 384MB Ram I run Swiftfox and this doesn't seem as susceptible.

Probably something or other is trying to configure itself, and timing out after waiting some interval for a piece of hardware to respond. There are a lot of possibilities here, and you could narrow it down by noting what the text is just before it hangs. You might get past the hang faster by typing Ctrl+C right there too.

This is completely different from editing the system level /etc/crontab. All you have to do for /etc/crontab is edit the file. cron will pick up the change and react to it with no additional intervention. "Additionally, cron checks each minute to see if its spool directory’s modtime (or the modtime on /etc/crontab) has changed, and if it has, cron will then examine the modtime on all crontabs and reload those which have changed." (man cron) As far as getting email or not, one thing he can do to check this is set up a new crontab to run a script that prints something. The only cron-related mail I get is from my own script, which outputs its status messages to stdout. I assume I would get word if any of the daily jobs failed. I haven't experienced that yet. Every message in the box so far is from my own script. -- D.

But, I had heard that ff-2 had a newer javascript so have been trying without any extensions. I only have flash-7, sun-java-1.5, realplayer as plugins. But, is it the sun java or the javascript that's the problem? I thought it's the javascript. Well, maybe it's time to try script block on ff-2. regards, From o.sinclair at gmail.com Tue Nov 21 03:54:07 2006 From: o.sinclair at gmail.com (O.

It's most likely just more KConfig flakery. I've been trying to pin down a repeatable procedure for getting it to screw up for years, and have failed.

But after burning my desktop image onto my favorite monitor here's what I ended up doing: I installed xscreensaver. I turned off the KDE screensaver in the control panel you mentioned above. Then in the ~/.kde/Autostart directory I made a link to the xscreensaver as follows: ln -s /usr/bin/xscreensaver ~/.kde/Autostart/. From there I type in the command window: xscreensaver-demo That pulls up the dialog window that lets me choose what screensaver, how long and all the other settings associated with screensavers.

I usually just google them, and all my google queries point to glibc as the package you want. If you uploaded this from Ubuntu, make sure its listed as a bug as it should have been a dependancy for the calendar being uploaded.

I know nothing about this "Oracle Callander" thing, but these errors indicate a serious incompatibility between whatever this is and the system he's trying to install it on. I don't have enough information to offer any further suggestions about this particular whatever it is he's installing, and have no idea if it's possible to hack around this rather serious stumbling block. I would bet it's a lost cause, but I'm a jaded, cynical pessimist. -- D.

And I think this explains it - I've installed KGet, and whenever Konqueror downloads a file it uses KGet automatically, so the files do get resumed.

Instead of using a text editor I tried a test in OO Writer. Here I got a message with a bit more info. '/media/floppy/test.odt does not exist'.

I use T-Bird but I am not too keen on it, mainly because I cannot change the format of the date and time on each email. I also like Sylpheed which is the one I use most of the time.

Opinions will differ from person to person, depending on what they want from a mailer. Install it and try for yourself. For me, it is an excellent program as it is so versatile and easy to learn. Evolution has all the facilities you are likely to need and then some. I hated the inclusion of calendar, to-do list etc at first but now I find it awesome to have these at my fingertips without having to load another program.

You sure can highlight messages as you want. Try filters. And Kmail can be run without Kontact. I really disliked the Integration that Ubuntu trys to push on us, but I freed my self of Kontact, so things are as they should be with linux, as I want them.

All I know is that I to some extent consider it a pain in the .... that I can not remove bluetooth that I have no use for whatsoever, nor can I completely remove the new Kpowerguidance, without breaking kde-desktop and a whole bunch of useful/necessary applications, such as System Settings. I don't know why our dear KDE/Kubuntu developers insist on some of these apps being so necessary that you cannot remove them without messing up your system.

You can remove them safely, in fact if you look at the description for the metapackages it will say something like "It is safe to remove this package if some of the desktop system packages are not desired." at the bottom (from kubuntu-desktop). One of the best part of the packaging system ubuntu uses (dpkg/apt), is that dependences are taken care of for you. That's why metapackages work in the first place. Where you can run in to some trouble is with distribution upgrades, e.g. Dapper to Edgy. This is because there may be some packages that are added to the dependences of the metapackages, like when the "upstart" package replaced the "sysvinit" package. Without the metapackage you won't get these updates. That's why you'll see the upgrade guides say "make sure you have (k,ed,x)ubuntu-desktop installed. So you can remove the metapackages without any trouble, it's just upgrading to the next release that can cause problems. It's a trade-off between making sure you have all the recommended packages and customisation. Also it may be more difficult to get support, because when you say, "I'm running Kubuntu Dapper", then we have a good idea of what packages and configuration you have and version they are. If you don't plan on upgrading to a new release for a while, like with Dapper LTS, then you can remove the metapackages along with the packages you don't want.

A curious problem with that however, is that I had to go in and rename the shutdown script names to stop from having those services being called to shutdown. A little study on the run levels and associated scripts helped me to reduce my boot and shutdown times and memory usage. With hard disks so inexpensive I have no problem with what's installed only what's running and what's used in booting and shutting down.

It is possible to get rid of bluetooth - but not the new Powermanager (kde-powerguidance). It breaks the whole "guidance" - many of the System Settings disappear. And since I don't like the new Powermanager I don't like this connection. Am considering reverting back to Dapper actually (not only cause of that, other nuisances with Edgy as well).

If you install on an older machine it is good to get rid of unnecessary and unuseful stuff. The laptop I run Edgy on now I can throw almost anything at but I like to remove what I can not or do not want to use. Like Remote Desktop, Desktop sharing and such stuff. Also when I support end-users it minimizes problems if stuff they can't use is not there to confuse.

Its kde that simply write their coding so that it intergrates with the other programs kde has to make it possible to intergrate with each other.

It is easy to throw HD space into, harder and more expensive to find the older memory, an just not worth upgrading the CPU. I don't want things loading at boot-up that I don't want or can't use. Like bluetooth, for example. I know I can edit the start-up scripts in /etc/init.d, but often feel I don't know enough to do that. I liked Warty (my first Ubuntu) because it was a very basic distro on a single disc that I could easily add stuff to. It seems that the default distro, while still on a single disc, has grown to have a lot more stuff that many users won't need. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion PGP fingerprint: 52A4 B10C AA73 096F A661 92D2 3B65 8EAC ACC5 BA7A Keyserver: hkp://subkeys.pgp.net The attachment - signature.asc - is my electronic signature; no need for alarm.

Now only clicking the scroll wheel does this. I know that that is probably how it should be but it was so much easier just having to move my thumb up a tiny fraction to paste stuff. Now I have to highlight using the trackball and click the very small scroll wheel which is next to the trackball which, because of their close proximity causes the mouse pointer to move before I can click in the right place ughh! Anyway. How can I remap the mouse buttons to revert back to using button number 6 or 7 (I'm not sure which but it is one of those two) as a 'middle' mouse button - so that I can paste with it?

Here's our dialup setup on a rural ranch: an old P1 166 as a gateway at the beginning of the day it's started with pon with a twenty minute hangup setting and firestarter other machines have that set as a gateway. Some machines also have standalone capability with modems should the bandwith be needed (we have six phone lines) I'll probably get slammed for this but we've had the best luck doing this with MSN MSn dialup works fine we get 33.6 which is the max you can expect as far out as we are. MSN allows 5 users...so multiple phone lines can be used at the same time if necessary. AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. the drawback to MSN is you are stuck with webmail as MSN blocks other smtp. There are no available instructions for MSN without msn software but setting up with msn/username works fine also if you have a handful of computers it's not worth setting up DHCP etc...just use 3 or four common DNS servers and fixed IP addresses for the machines in the private range (like 192.168.0.x ) Using more than 2 DNS servers gives the time for the modem to connect. eg the phone is hung up...you request a page on the web...ppp starts dialing and the default 30 second timeout for each dns comes into play and one works before your machine quits working. Oh and the gateway can be an old useless machine. I'm using an old Deskpro as it has no fan to die on the CPU. I run Xubuntu on that as it's too slow for KDE or Gnome...I DO have 256 mb of memory on it though. get the altenate CD for an old machine install like this or it takes forever though. Automatic dialing when shut off is simple...getting things to hang up is not.., Any utilities like Yahoo toolbar checking for mail...autoupdates on various programs etc will often keep the modem from hanging up. You need to disable any auto features. Watch refresh settings on browsers too...they will keep the modem from hanging up if left open. KDE is 'FULL of little things that may try to access the internet...even playing a music CD (ccdb) All of these will keep the modem from hanging up.

There's a howto on the ubuntuforums site that describes a few more of the services. I would recommend being conservative at first. In that howto there were a few things termed useless for the author with no explanation, that I knew I needed. Generally if you don't know what it is leave it alone, and you'll be fine. He also describes how to turn off the shutdown scripts of the services you've disabled that sysv-rc-conf leaves active.

Check your model against the database at linuxprinting.org and see what they say about it. If you have to buy a new printer, you're not alone. I have hooked a lot of people up with Linux over the years, and I can't think of a single one of them who had a printer that would work with Linux. I didn't either. I had to buy a new printer too. Now that most people are on broadband these days, the winprinter issue is the main reason people can't get Linux to work on their existing hardware. -- D.

That was many computers ago. It certainly wasn't anywhere close to 32 though. I do honestly think a 386 with that much RAM would be a rare find. But hey, I could be completely full of crap. The oldest computer I remember any details about was my trusty pre-MMX Pentium 166, which eventually wound up with 96 MB of RAM. I can remember the generations of machines prior to that, and what kind of bus they had, but not how much memory. -- D.

It really isn't necessary If you remove it you can remove unwanted KDE packages. This COULD cause upgrade problems, but so can many other things Like adding packages built from source. If like me you have had to do things like add Crossover, compile HPILP cuz it didn't work with my new all in one (yes I submitted a bug report) or ad commercial or other apps not in the repositories that can break an" upgrade" too. But Kubuntu Desktop is a starting point, its necessity isn't written in stone.

I recently installed one only to find scanning didn't work I filed a bug report...which is now marked as duplicate The good news is everything works if you compile and install a newer version of HPILP from souceforge. The download includes excellent documentation...dig into it and you find that you have step by step instructions fpr dapper down to what packages from ubuntu you need to have installed. After reading the docs the whole process was quite painless. FWIW mine even scans from googles Picassa2 and prints fine accross the network as a Samba Printer.

This will let you mount the contents of the card as your user and create the directory "camera" in /media. To un-mount you use "pumount camera" then "eject sda1" to safely remove it. But that's all if you don't get the normal pop-up that opens when you insert a card.

So it doesn't follow from your statement that it's kubuntu's problem (though I happen to believe t is - ubuntu goes overboard in expecting everything in at least one of the *-desktop packages to be installed by everybody). > Well, the newer kde is adding the newer stuff in kde to allow the newer > hardware to work within itself.

If you get lucky, you can just plug it in, and KDE will pop up a dialog asking you what you want to do with the new removeable medium it just detected.

I plugged the reader into a USB port, with a card already in place, and a dialog appeared asking me what I wanted to do with the data. I chose to open in a new window. I had to go through a couple of folders and there were all the photos from the card on screen. So I could then copy them to the hard disk with no problem. Great, thanks kubuntu.

When I wanted to save them to a DVD I used file/export which called up k3b as the burner program to use. I had no problems. Now that I use kubuntu Edgy I am having a problem. Again, file/export to DVD in digikam. It all worked and called up k3b as expected. However when I tried to start the burn I had problems. It told me that I didn't have a DVD in the drive (I did) so I tried clicking on Force to see what would happen. It seemed to start and then stopped working. I looked at the details and saw that it did not like the version of the kernel that I am using (2.6.17-10 generic). It obviously was not going to work. I then tried running k3b from the menus and asked it to burn the same photos. This time it worked and I now have the folder on the DVD. Two questions - has anyone else found this problem with digikam/k3b?

I don't know if that's supposed to work or not, but it doesn't here. I do exactly what you said, and put the card in the reader before plugging the reader in. Make sure you close the view after you're done with a card. I've found if a now non-existent reader is still mounted in a now defunct view, then the card doesn't get picked up when I re-attach the reader. With consistent management practices, it seems to work reliably. I haven't had to fool around with manual mounting and umounting since I worked out how to avoid getting things tripped up. -- D.

The system no longer pops up my USB disk on the desktop, nor is it available for automatic mounting. In a word, it is as if HAL didn't exist. In /var/log/daemon.log appear many entries of HAL detecting the new hardware, but appear increasingly convoluted: Nov 23 19:37:43 localhost NetworkManager: ^I[1164307063.278577] nm_hal_device_added (): New device added (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_SEAGATE_ST3200822A_123456789012').

Several different threads like this one where the next guy said "Run the command it told you to run" like I just did, and the command didn't work. Most of these pages aren't in English, which is always a good sign that you have a really rare problem. I have gleaned a couple of things to try by reading the followup and the next suggestion that apparently worked. However, I have no special knowledge of the behind the scenes guts stuff of apt, and cannot endorse these suggestions. I am just passing them along.

I tried "pmount /dev/sda1 camera" and got: Error: device /dev/sda1 does not exist I have no /dev/sda* devices listed when the reader is plugged in. This issue isn't crucial; I can successfully plug the camera in directly to transfer pictures. However, I'd prefer to use the card reader, and it bugs me that the reader works in Windows and not in Linux. :-( Any other ideas? Also, feel free to trim this thread. :-) Thanks.

Now, I have no entries in mozilla about:plugins for anything concerning flash. When I try to run an embedded video, I get the teal green little icon(looks like a double cross symbol) on the player screen and upon clicking it this message appears: "This page contains information of a type(application/x-shockwave-flash) that can only be viewed with the appropriate Plug-in." The same icon and message appears for the playlist portion also. It appears the system doesn't recognize the the flashplugin-nonfree is installed as it use to show up in about:plugins. I also have the latest version(3.31) of mozilla-mplayer and mplayerplug-ins installed. Now, the adds still play on embedded videos but the selected embedded don't and never have for me since Debian Sid. Of course, firefox plays the same embedds that mozilla wont and even loads but skips without playing the adds and just goes to playing the selected videos(nice). Any one using the mozilla browser experienced this? Would like to know how to fix the flash problem..?? Also, anyone using Kubuntu-desktop, Dapper Drake, ver 6.06.1 and mozilla browser that can play embedds on AP or Reuters videos, would love to know your secret. Since leaving Debian Sid, I've tried a number of solutions from mozilla-mplayer-3.17 to mplayerplug-in-3.31 cvs compiled; non of which worked. I'm beginning to think that no-one using a Debian based distro is able to play embedds but not sure. Since I like the mozilla browser I would like a solution for it. I'm on the verge of trying out Seamonkey to see if that provides a solution solely out of frustration. Appreciate any help, suggestions, experiences or insite that may help me resolve my flash and mozilla issues.

If so then > fine, but why would it change due to the upgrade? I noticed exactly the same thing when I updated from Dapper to Edgy. I found that my X packages did not update properly, so I forced them to update, one by one, and then checked that KDM was installed and updated. That fixed the same problems for me.

There are numerous slots in the reader so I had to make sure I had the card in the right place. So I just left it there when I plugged the reader into the USB port and, as I said, it all just worked. By the way, I have been told that the reason it just works for me is that I have an up-to-date kernel. Apparently card readers are simply plug and play as long as your kernel is 2.6.* whereas with earlier versions it does not work so well. And I do make sure that I close the view down properly each time. I have been caught out too many time in the past. Since I have just the one camera and therefore just the one card I don't expect that I will ever need to worry about swopping cards at all. So I won't be able to test if swopping cards works for me or not.

This is a drag as I fear losing some add on stuff that I may not be able to find anymore. Booting chokes on hald when init executes the 20hald script called from /etc/init.d/dbus It chokes when hald is becoming a daemon. After a 5 minute timeout, it exits with code 2. Similar problems calling the aforementioned init scrips from a console after boot, or trying to load hald directly, without a script. (Run directly, the exit code is 1, but the result is the same.) Its a deal breaker. Here are some of the effects: 1, usb devices, like iPod do not display on k desktop. I can mount them manually after creating an fstab line, but transferring stuff to these mounted devices is very, very slow. 2. Can't mount samba shares. I can browse the shares on this machine from a remote machine, and can browse the remote using the smb:/ protocol, but can't mount and have apps treat them as local directories. 3. access to ~/Documents and ~/Desktop is very slow. Non-kde apps, like firefox are very slow to display file dialogs.

I went back to the older hal packages (the ones with the ubuntu1 rather than ubuntu2 version number). After a reboot, everything has reveted to normal working order (i.e., it works).If I remember correctly, these older packages were released with KDE 3.5.5, and maybe the bug is Kubuntu-specific. I remember this being discussed on this list not that long ago...Could it be that the changes that went into the deb I am using (from Jonathan Riddell's KDE 3.5.5 repository) did not make it into the main ubuntu archive?

I have pasted the relevant message: I asked about ButtonMapping on the xorg mailing list (btw, I think it's intended for developers only...there doesn't appear to be a user forum...so my newbie-ness barged right in the middle of their developer discussions :blush: ). Anyway, one person replied: "xev and other X applications see the logical buttons. They expect 1 to be select, 2 to be paste, 3 to be context menu, 4 scroll up, 5 down, 6 left, 7 right." So, I think I get some of it finally. ButtonMapping maps physical buttons on the mouse to logical buttons. The places from left to right are the physical buttons and the numbers in those places are the logical buttons. To be more clear, to get standard right-handed mouse configuration we use: Code: "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7" This makes button '1'(the button under your index finger if you're right-handed) map to the 'select' action and button '3'(the button under your middle finger) map to the 'context menu' action. So, this means to get left-handed mouse configuration we simply switch: Code: "ButtonMapping" "3 2 1 6 7" I just tested it and this is exactly what happens. I was also told that the PS/2 driver we're using only has fields for 5 physical buttons, so any numbers after "1 2 3 6 7 ..." wouldn't mean anything (may cause problems even, haven't tried). This is also why xev never sees any action from my tilt-wheel. If I wanted to be crazy (and usually I do, just not in this case) I could map the wheel to forward/back with Code: "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5" BTW Use 'exev' to find out button mapping numbers I changed my xorg file to read: "ButtonMapping" "1 6 3 2 7" and now the top rear thumb button now pastes!:-) - I'm so happy I could sing - but you probably don't want to hear my 'joyful noise'.

That is the version that I have so now I am worried. I have not so far had cause to use it much so I have been OK so far. I am using Kubuntu Edgy. I noted one suggestion to use Abiword instead. Well, I would be quite happy to use that except for one thing. I followed the instructions carefully for changing the default stylesheet but it has had no effect. At the moment when I start Abiword it comes us with the wrong dictionary and the wrong font. That is all I want to change. I know that I could change it manually every time but I refuse to do that when there is supposed to be a way to set it up automatically. The worst part for me is the default font. I will never, never use Times New Roman. As I said I have followed the instructions carefully to change the defaults but my changes are ignored. Has anyone else had this problem? I used to use Abiword years ago and I quite liked it then. I would be very pleased to use it again if I can get this sorted.

I *have* had similar problems. Either it wouldn't start, or it would spin up, burn a little bit, and stick there, yielding a coaster. I never resolved it. I unplugged the drive and bought a USB DVD-RW to use instead, after having problems out of two newish internal CD-RWs in a row. So far so good. I'm debating whether to pull one of the drives and try to use it in a new built-from-junk box I'm putting together out of handmedowns, or just buy another external USB jobbie. Maybe it's the drive, maybe it's my mobo, maybe the wind wasn't blowing the right way on those days. Burning on Linux has always been slightly bitchy.

Is there any difference, depending on the privileges assigned to the command? Are there any special settings that xrandr has recorded in the root home directory? Where is the root home directory? How to check whether the display ":0.0" is the one used by the xserver? Restarting the x-server is really needed for orientation change to be applied?

Editing the K Menu is more properly done by right-clicking on the K Menu icon and selecting the Menu Editor. (The manual way is to press Alt+F2 and type in "kmenuedit").

I may have discovered something around the stability. I'm not *sure* it will help, however, it seems to be helping here. Instead of 100 undo levels run it down to 20 or so.

It didn't happen under 3.5.4. It seems to happen randomly about every 3-4 weeks, but I probably just haven't discovered the exact conditions. The mouse remains functional and commands all are accessible but I can't do any keyboard input. The problem is restricted to kde since it doesn't happen under other window managers, under kdm, or on a terminal login. The only solution I've found is to delete ~/.kde and allow it to rebuilt during login, so clearly there is a file or files that is/are getting corrupted. Has anyone experienced such a keyboard only freeze? Is there a known fix?

You are using Kmail. I personally dislike Kontact, and don't install it. you can easily remove Kontact with an apt-get remove kontact. You may need to remove kde-pim, too, but its just a metapackage. If you don't have Kmail on your Kmenu, you can easily add it by adding a new menu item in the Kmenu, and pointing it to kmail.

Let me tell you that this bug (or whatever causes it) made me give up on Dapper and move to Edgy. That I am in many other ways unhappy with but that seems stable on this. For me even CDs became unmountable under KDE. In /media I could see them as root, not my normal user. If that helps you. If you sort it let me know.

In my experience many files do not get written to the USB flash until you actually do "Safely Remove", that could also explain activity on the flash memory after hitting "Safely Remove". If it is a lot of files or a big files it can take time. Many times I copied files, pulled the usb out and moved to another PC only to find the files were never actually copied - despite being visible in Konqueror.

What > can I do to resolve this issue? I'm on Ubuntu 6.10 with the KDE > desktop. Can you Right Click and then select "eject"? If not, find out what device it is while its mounted, and then: 1. right click and select safely remove, and go to a shell and see if the device is still mounted. If its not, you can remove it. If it is go to next step. 2. Run: "sudo umount /dev/sdax" (x being whatever device you are wanting to remove). Check to see if the device is still mounted. If you could unmount it using root's account (sudo part) chances are your stuff is getting mounted as root for some reason. Once you make sure the device isn't mounted, even if the drive light is on, you're safe. If the devices are not mounted, they are not in use. I know this because my external WesternDigital USB drive stays lit up even after I safely remove. After numerous checks I found that in truth the volumes were not mounted, and I could remove it. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!

I had a the same problem way back in hoary/breezy, but I will have to dig up the fix when I get home later tonight.

I don't think that is what Thomas was asking. Thomas, I suggest you ask this question on the kdepim-users at kde.org list.

Once it stops indicating it is writing (flashing light) I remove the usb memory. Works just fine once you figure it out. Trickier with flash memos with no lights...

ALL the restrictions on the .gif format due to patents on the compression method used have now expired, the last one on the planet this past June or July, so we should once again see fresh .gif renderers and generators out there in the wild. Unless there's simply no real reason to do so. There are now, many image formats that superceed .gif and its limited color palette and have found moderatly wide usage while the .gif scene was frozen. .png comes to mind as the best example. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

I've had 158.4 gigs of trash accumulate since upgrading to Dapper, WOW! Every time I checked ~/.Trash, it was empty and I mistakenly presumed that there must have been a cron job emptying it for me. By the way, you're correct, I am running Dapper 6.06, sorry for the slip up. As for the trash icon, I got rid of that long before upgrading and the upgrade didn't place a new icon there. I prefer not to have an icon, so long as I know where the trash is. I have one last question though, on the subject of where. Why is it necessary to share trash?

I had headaches with this too. In my experience there are 3 solutions; 1 there is a security setting "somewhere" in MS 2003 server to change. Never got that one working and not recommended 2 for each user you can automount via a script the share in question; mount -t cifs //ip-numberofserver/servershare /mount/validmountdir -o username='validserverusername',password='passwordofsameuseronserver' this works though it is a very crude solution.
