Then without ~/.kde available, log out, and log back in, and KDE should regenerate the .kde directory with defaults. Did the problem recur? If not then it is part of the .kde structure, and you can rebuild it from ~/oldkde, and try to figure out what is going wrong and where it is. That's the old school way of fixing up KDE problems, and a good one to keep in mind when KDE gets weird.

How do you synch with a file?

What I need to do is synch the info in both sources so that PDA and desktop have the same info. What I could do is install pi-synch on my desktop as well, but that means I have to then copy the synched results back to Kontact.

I think the plan to install from CD, that is if it is a 6.0.6 CD. There are not all that many updates from 6.0.6 yet. On my machine it was probably less than a couple of dozen. You could DD or just plain old copy the hard drive to the other machine, but you will be suffering if X complains, as you will have to reconfigure that. I am assuming that you have a LAN at your disposal for configuring the copy. As to the updates that you have on the one machine (they are only archived if you ask for it to be). I would just copy them from where they lay, to where they should be in the new machine. One problem, though, is that the new machine may want you to get a few libraries beyond what the old machine had to get the new machine running right. The other option is to just load the Live CD, and live with what is there, forgoing the updates.

The easiest way is to either use a lan or a cd to put this onto the other machine. I have done the cd version often. Copy the contents to a cd then copy those to the /var/cache/apt/archives directory. Do a sudo apt-get update after having modified your sources.list to be the same as the first machine, then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade should mean you have very little to download provided the first machine is up to date.

If it is ( ;-) ) then you can add a PLF repository to your sources.list and install the package "libdvdcss2" and you may need "libdvdread" from the Ubuntu main repository. You can add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/ dapper free then run # sudo apt-get update # sudo apt-get install libdvdread libdvdcss2 Or you can install a package like Automatix[1] or EasyUbuntu[2] that will run a script to install it for you, though it's easier just to add the repository for PLF and get it that way.

In the end I installed mtink - to run it just 'Alt + F2' to get the run dialogue and type 'mtink' without the quotes and hit enter or click Run.

That could be helpful, if it's not filed yet. I didn't see exactly the same issue in Launchpad. I found the korganizer man page by using the Search bar in the Help Center. At the bottom it says: More detailed user documentation is available from help:/korganizer (either enter this URL into konqueror, or run `khelpcenter help:/korganizer'). and help:/korganizer in konqueror brings up the handbook okay here, if that is what you were looking for. -Liz From gabpaul at melbpc.org.au Sat Sep 2 23:30:50 2006 From: gabpaul at melbpc.org.au (gabrielle harrison and Paul van den Bergen) Date: Sun, 03 Sep 2006 09:30:50 +1000 Subject: Changing machines.

I figured that the answer would be something like that - it kinda makes sense. So the suggested method of re-installing but keeping as much of the archived atp packages as possible is the most sensible path... just to itterate... 1) install standalone Kubuntu from CD 2) copy /var/cache/apt/archives from old HDD to the new HDD 3) edit the new machines /etc/apt/sources.list to match the old machine (copy?) 4) sudo apt-get update 5) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade could you also copy /var/cache/apt/archives to a CD and use sudo apt-cdrom add??? -- Dr Paul van den Bergen Chance favours the prepared mind From obsidion at ihug.co.nz Sat Sep 2 23:58:49 2006 From: obsidion at ihug.co.nz (David Bird) Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2006 11:58:49 +1200 Subject: Changing machines.

Just copying /var/cache/apt/archives to a CD won't let it work with apt-cdrom as you aren't creating a repository, just a copy of the cache, you need other packages installed to create the directory structure and the Packages.gz files. Just copy them to the /var/cache/apt/archives directory.

Message-ID: <20060903004740.13851.qmail@web33508.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Recently after checking the HPILP site and documentation in Ubuntu/Kubuntu I purchased one of these devices. Just Working was out of the question though:-( Even though the docs in Ubuntu say this unit will print scan etc. It Doesn't just work. After contacting HP support I downloaded the current tar.gz fo HPILP. The instructions have specific ubuntu steps. Be sure to uninstall the .deb from Ubuntu of hpilp. It is missing some pieces to get scanning working with this machine. Following the excellent instructions in the tar.gz and using hp's included command line printer setup program this printer scanner combo set up correctly and works quite fine. I have scanned in XSane and Kooka with no problems. FWIW all my googling ended up with this scanner function as not supported. apparently the Ubuntu repository versions of HPILP are missing a few pieces needed to scan. Please excuse the double posting on Kubuntu and Ubuntu. I thought this was significant enough after two days of trying to find why the HPILP docs in Ubuntu said it would work and then it didn't.

The error about another process using the packing system database means that something has locked the database. Try running (in a terminal): "ps aux|egrep '(apt|dpkg|adept)' " to see if there is another Adept, apt or dpkg open, if there is then run "sudo kill [PID]" where [PID] is the PID of the process (you'll see it from the output of ps) If there isn't another process running then you can get Adept working the messy way: "sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock" Tez From cms01 at tampabay.rr.com Sun Sep 3 03:13:40 2006 From: cms01 at tampabay.rr.com (Richard) Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2006 23:13:40 -0400 Subject: Major problem playing dvd's In-Reply-To: <44F8FED3.1070606@blueyonder.co.uk> References: <200609012302.14051.cms01@tampabay.rr.com> <44F8FED3.1070606@blueyonder.co.uk> Message-ID: <200609022313.40327.cms01@tampabay.rr.com> Thanks Tez, this seems to help there was no libdvdread there was libdvdread3(installed) and libdvdcss2(not installed) but now is, I try 2 dvd's on works the other still get the encrypted error, READ the back of that dvd and notice that it said DUAL Layer format, hmm, I don't think my player can read that...

So it wouldn't accept the bug report because of an Invalid field! Seems strange as this is a basic install supported set of packages! It seems trying to submit a bug report is more difficult than compiling a package yourself. This is counterproductive if they want the bug reports from new users/companies migrating from other systems. Maybe I'll write an article and put it on my website....I used to do this for UnixOS2 items Is writing a Wiki article easier? I haven't done that yet either, On OS/2 I used to place links to articles I wrote on prominent OS/2 sites and place the article on my own domain space, As of yet I've been too busy migrating all our systems to Ubuntu to get involved much.

As the Live CD will load itself into your RAM, and let you check out Kubuntu before you install it. There will be an icon called Install on the Desktop. Click it if you dare.

If that doesn't work you could try: $ sudo dpkg --configure -a $ sudo apt-get -f install And then try adept.

Actuall found this from my continued googling and thought I finally found something that would do the trick but, alas, nothing has changed. Since the original post, I've addeded the mime type to a couple of files that didn't contain it, /etc/mime.types is one, but this hasn't changed anything either. This has become an extremely tough issue for me to solve and I do appreciate any and all input from the list. >> On 9/2/06, Leonard Chatagnier wrote: >> Still trying to get embedded videos to play in Mozilla >> browser.

I even went to the yahoo site that you referred to back in your original post to verify that this worked. The application/x-mplayer2 entry does not appear in either of the locations that you reference. However, there were other video type plug-ins that I removed earlier for other reasons. That may be the difference. The only plug-ins that I have for Firefox are: Java Plug-in Shockwave Flash 7.0 Google VLC Multimedia (mplayerplug-in 3.17) QuickTime Plug-in 6.0 RealPlayer 9.0 (mplayerplug-in 3.17) Windows Media Player Plug-in (mplayerplug-in 3.17) mplayerplug-in 3.17 I am using Firefox 1.5.0.5 originally installed from the repositories and upgraded as needed. This is on a fresh install of 6.0.6 LTS (dapper). I hope that this helps you sort out your issue. It should at least give you a known working configuration from which you can build. -- Kelly L.

I have been trying to install win4lin pro on a fresh installation of Kubuntu dapper 64 bit. It all goes well until it is time to load the windows cd. At that point I get a error message that reads "You do nor have permission to read from the CDROM device you selected. Please correct this permission problem or choose a different CDROM device to read from." I have checked the permissions and they seem to be OK. They are set so owner, group and others can view content. I have also tried several paths. /dev/hdc, /cdrom/ and others but I always get the same message. I have to run several windows applications for drafting and schematic drawing or I would not really care. Can anyone here point me in the right direction.

Yes, I could play them with firefox(default) and swiftfox too, but I want to use the mozilla browser which doesn't play them. I think the problem is that Ubuntu/Kubuntu supports the default firefox but not so much the mozilla browser. I wonder if anyone in Kubuntu land uses the mozilla browser? I have mozilla-mplayer installed and can't find mplayerplug-in in the cached programs to install. Kevin DeKorte, from mplayerplug-in development user list has suggested I install it from the Kubuntu mirrors or from Debian. However. its not in the cache and I have universe, multiverse, backports, automatix, cipherfunk, canonical and wine.budgetdedicated in my sources.list. What mirror do I need to add to sources.list to get mplayerplug-in? According to Mr. DeKorte it conflicts with mozilla-mplayer. > The application/x-mplayer2 entry does not appear in either of the > locations that you reference.

I have exactly the same configuration with the Mozilla Browser that I have for Firefox (meaning the same plug-ins) and the video doesn't play in Mozilla. I get the funky little puzzle piece and when I click on it I get a pop-up window that states that this application type (application/x-mplayer2) can only be viewed with the appropriate player. Well, I have application/x-mplayer2 application type defined under "Windows Media Player Plug-in" (mplayerplug-in 3.17), but it still doesn't play at all. As for removing plug-ins, it depends upon how you installed them. If you installed them as a .deb package, then you should remove the package. If you manually installed them, then you probably should delete them from the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Anything installed with mozilla-mplayer will be marked with the mplayerplug-in in the about:plugins window. And there are several that come from it. There seems to be a major difference in how Mozilla handles this plug-in versus how Firefox handles it. I don't know what that difference is as I don't use Mozilla (this is the first time it has been used on this system since the install). I have a web-page (personal on an intranet) with embedded video and I tried to change the mime-type on the video to several different types and none of them worked with Mozilla but any of them worked with Firefox. I don't have swiftfox installed, so I can't say anything about it. -- Kelly L.

Honestly, installing things and "Seeing what happens" is a really bad idea. Taglib has nothing at all to do with sound. It reads id3 tags embedded in the files... Perhaps you should learn about how amarok produces sound and then check those things. It uses the xine engine...You have that installed?

At last I've got a confirmation that there is a problem with mozilla browser playing embeds with Kubauntu. It appears I was right that Kubuntu doesn't support Mozilla browser or at least no one there uses it very much. So glad you were able to confirm it.

Guess I could purge mozilla-mplayer and see what happens as it's not that hard to reinstall it. That should keep me busy until I hear from Kevin DeKortes about how to get the latest version of mplayerplug-in unless you can provide a mirror that carries it.

I guess I could get used to firefox, or better swiftfox, but I don't like them as much as mozilla browser. Agian, should I file a bug report with Kubuntu. I've only used Debian and Ubuntu/Kubuntu so I can't say that this wont happen with other distrs. And it did happen with Debian Sid. Maybe the next stop is mozilla users list, if I don't get a solution here or with mplayerplug-in-development. Been there before but its been a long time ago. I appreciate your input, Kelly. It's been helpful and I'll try removing mozilla-mplayer and let everyone know what happens. > -- > Kelly L.

Easy. Just run Tools/Anti-Spam Wizard after uploading SA. Next I hope you have a bunch of spam emails around so you can run something like this daily (I dropped it into a script, and run it from cron nightly so it learns the good from the bad): #! /bin/bash echo "SpamPile"; sa-learn --spam /home/robbo/Mail/SpamPile/cur/; echo "Ads"; sa-learn --ham /home/robbo/Mail/Ads/cur/; echo "Computer"; sa-learn --ham /home/robbo/Mail/Computer/cur/; echo "Home"; sa-learn --ham /home/robbo/Mail/Home/cur; echo "Fishing"; sa-learn --ham /home/robbo/Mail/Fishing/cur echo "Listservers"; sa-learn --ham /home/robbo/Mail/Listservers/cur #EOF But you want to run the first line (sa-learn --spam /home/robbo/Mail/SpamPile/cur/) on a big "corpus" of spam to teach SA what you consider spam to be. And do first set up that line and all the others to be for your system. I have Kmail put all spam into a folder called SpamPile, any it misses go there too. All the ads I recieve (and I asked for) go into the Ads folder, and this is scanned to learn Non-Spam aka Ham. And I scan multiple folders for Ham to allow it to know good emails from bad. Don't expect it to run great immediately, it needs to learn for awhile. If you recieve a low volume of mail, you may want to try using Razor with SA, it will bat 100% right out the door, but it takes a good bit more time to process each email, and it slows down all of Kmail during the scan. > Does an apt-get install spamassassin work? > (What repository do i need?) If you have the Universe repository set up you will get it with that line.

How can I get rid of this? Seems like the KDE packages have been compiled with a certain amount of debug output enabled, at least the 3.5.4 Kubuntu packages. My ~/.xsession-errors file grows quite nicely because of this (several MiBs large after a days work with KDE). I think this is unnecessary, and it's sometimes a pain when starting KDE apps from a konsole session (lots of spam output). However, it's not dangerous, just annoying. Could we perhaps get updated packages compiled without this debug output ;) ?

Sorry, I forgot to answer your question: $ kpdf &>/dev/null $ kate &>/dev/null ... etc This will redirect their output to /dev/null and should prevent the messages you mentioned from appearing.

If you have any innovative ideas please fill my head. Doing free software for your university project is a great idea. We have a number of things that will be needing ported to Qt4 Python bindings. Ubiquity needs moved to Qt4 and a port of the new GTK screen keyboard onboard to Qt 4 would be great. In KDE 3 land porting gdebi or the dist-upgrade tool would be nice. There's also some work to be done to the language-installer tool. If you prefer C++ there's a number of improvements to Adept that could be made. Give us a ping on IRC (Riddell on #kubuntu on freenode) if you have questions. Jonathan From doc.evans at gmail.com Mon Sep 4 16:01:53 2006 From: doc.evans at gmail.com (D. R.

Is there anything packaged for Kubuntu that has the same, or similar, behaviour? kdocker allows any app to be minimized to the systray instead of the ordinary taskbar. I had kdocker configured so that hitting win-Z invoked kdocker on the current window -- in other words, hitting win-Z on any open window would send that app to the systray. This was tremendously helpful in particular with Sunbird, which one really needs to have running all the time and accessible from any virtual desktop.

I wasn't sure if the (missing) help would simply be the handbook or whether it would be something different and more specific and useful. Actually, I've now given up on KOrganizer.

Is there some > sound config necessary? My usual alarm sounds work fine. When you say that the stream is playing fine, is time progressing at a normal rate in the little bar that keeps track of time at the bottom right hand corner of amaroK? I also originally had no sound in amaroK on my AMD64 X2 Kubuntu system, but time moved _very_ quickly (like, it would "play" a track in a couple of seconds). The fix was to download the right codecs (I used automatix for this). As soon as I had the right codecs on the system, everything worked great. I am running amaroK right now, in fact. (And to see my hideous taste in music, look at www.last.fm/user/N7DR) (Once I had the right codecs installed, no other twiddling or tweaking was necessary.) Oh, and FWIW, I am running amaroK 1.4.2. It has crashed exactly once in the last week, which is a considerable improvement on the earlier version that I was previously running under Mandriva 2006.

However, you can edit an app's shortcut and activate "Place in system tray". It's not ideal - because when you minimise from the app, the taskbar entry remain - but if you only use the sys' tray icon, then it behaves as you'd expect. Another way, perhaps, to achieve what you require, is to pin the app to every desktop - see Window Decorations/Buttons. I'd like to see this kdocker in Kubuntu, though. -- Best, Marc From didier at raboud.com Mon Sep 4 19:29:23 2006 From: didier at raboud.com (Didier Raboud) Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2006 21:29:23 +0200 Subject: What's the official best way to use an USB external disk?

First of all, one good thing to do is to have udev attributing a correct inode to a peripheral. Without doing that, if you plug 2 USB sticks in different orders, you can have once a naming and once another... So you have to "ask" udev to attribute a unique inode per peripheral... So I have a file name 00_MyRules in /etc/udev/rules.d, that contains the following: BUS=="usb",SYSFS{product}=="iAUDIO M3 Digital Audio Player",SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Cowon Systems, Inc.",NAME="iaudio" So I have my multimedia player [0] set as /dev/iaudio when I plug it in. "man udev" and [1] can be very useful for writing such rules. That's the first step. Then, well.. You can use a well-written line in your /etc/fstab or something else depending on your WM. Cheers, Didier [0] iAudio M3, reads Ogg, FLAC, Mp3, ... Very good one...

OK, so Kubuntu doesn't do this automagically. It would be nice (IMHO) to have the option to write this entry automatically when the device is first inserted and the action menu pops up? Cheers!

References: <44FC7EF4.6020003@verizon.net> Message-ID: "connecting" two computers is ambiguous, so I will try to guess at what you mean and give you solutions: 1. Passing files between two computers. There is a protocol called file transfer protocol (ftp) that does exactly this. Further, there is an encryption layer that can be added to FTP in order to make it more secure. This latter option is what I suggest. The encryption layer is called SSH. In order to connect the two computers, you have to choose one of them to be the "server". Since the desktop is likely to be on and connected to the network more often than the laptop, I suggest choosing the desktop. All that is needed to have the desktop configured is to have the ssh program running in the background. Please follow this and write back if you have problems: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto It covers transferring files as well. 2. Remotely controlling either the desktop or the laptop with the other In order to do this, you need a program running in the background of the computer to be controlled (which will be called the server). Again, there are a couple of solutions to this. The most common is a technology called vnc. The controlled computer must have the vnc server program running in the background and the controlling computer must use a vnc client to connect to the controlled computer. Follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC The other solution is a newer technology called freenx. It also requires the controlled computer to have a freenx server program running and the controlling computer to use a freenx client to connect to the controlled computer. Follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX Again, if you have any questions regarding these guides, write back.

I have gzine installed and did a "show". Saw that gzineplugin was recommended and installed it and also noted that I had all the depends. I rmed pluginreg.dat from $HOME/.mozilla and restarted mozilla browser. Clicked on an AP news video on my dsl.sbc.yahoo home page. The yahoo news video player popped up with a black background in the player window, then nothing. The player window doesn't respond to any right/left click of the mouse. I also tried starting gxine player and downloading the video to see if that would play it but only succeded in crashing the player trying to figure out how to get it to read the uri. Something must be grossly screwed up in my Kubuntu setup but I haven't a clue. The gxineplugin is listed in Moz, Help>about plugins and it does have the "application/x-mplayer2" entry in it but doesn't have a file type wmv listed which i think is required to play the videos. The file types(Suffixes) listed for mplayer2 are asf, asx, asp. Does your gxineplugin show any wmv, wmx or wmp suffixes for mplayer2? BTW, could you offer a kubuntu mirror that would allow me to download "mplayerplug-ins" specifically not mozilla-mplayer. I asked about this in a previous post/reply but so far no response. Kevin DeKorte, of mplayerplug-in-development users list, suggested that I remove all the plugins and install mplayerplug-in instead.

Samba (in this case) simply provides remote access to a point in your file space. If you need to run apps and "do stuff" on a machine that aren't seated at then you probably need to set-up remote sessions (XDMCP). > I have the desktop setup to run my ham radio stuff and running a gateway. > I'm disabled and is stuck in bed most of the time and I run my laptop > when I'm in bed and that is why I need to do what I mentioned above. Yup, sounds like you need a remote session. -- CQDX Marc From gmane at auxbuss.com Mon Sep 4 23:01:10 2006 From: gmane at auxbuss.com (marc) Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2006 00:01:10 +0100 Subject: remote desktop connection References: <44FC7EF4.6020003@verizon.net> Message-ID: Harold Hartley said... > I'm trying to setup my network so I can connect to my desktop from my > laptop and vice versa. > I've tried reading any help on it, but no luck. > I've also played around the configuration too, but no go. > > Has anyone out there setup about the same thing that I'm trying to do. > If so, maybe a hint or so might get me on the right track. Depends what you mean by 'connect'. Exchange of files can be done in a number of ways: NFS or Samba spring to mind. Samba is really easy on Dapper, because you can configure the whole thing via KControl - albeit with the usual bizarre handling of some things - presumably this is available via System Settings too. Console-type connections can be done via ssh. If you have Windows in the equation, then WinSCP and Putty are useful. You need to install ssh- server on the appropriate machines. Remote control can be useful, when VNC comes to mind - use KRDC as the client (see KDE menu/Internet) If you want to log in to say, your desktop, from your laptop as a regular KDE or Gnome session - i.e. remote login - then you need to setup XDMCP on the 'server'. Off the top of my head, you need to edit - on the server - /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc and set [Xdmcp] Enable=true and in /etc/kde3/kdm/Xaccess uncomment * CHOOSER BROADCAST /etc/ssh/sshd_config needs X11Forwarding yes which seems to be the default in Ubuntu, but might be set in other distros - I think it's 'no' in Debian. A fresh Kubuntu install will perform a remote connect to a server - at least it does here; hit [Alt+R] at the KDM and the available remote servers appear in the XDMCP Host menu. There's more to all this stuff, so once we know more about what you are trying to do, we can pull in the extra pieces. -- Best, Marc From jlwallen at monkeypantz.net Mon Sep 4 23:05:10 2006 From: jlwallen at monkeypantz.net (jack wallen) Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2006 19:05:10 -0400 Subject: help installing 6.06 LTS Message-ID: <44FCB126.4050204@monkeypantz.net> so i got the CDs from Ubuntu for Kubuntu. i've been a long-time linux user but i have to admit the install steps are eluding me. if i boot from the CD i can hit enter to either (according to the options listed) install or run from the CD. well - there never is an install option available. or, according to the CD packaging, i can "run the live cd and double click the "install" icon." trouble is - there never is an "Install" icon. so what am i missing here? any help would be appreciated. -- \||/ jack wallen, jr|| a people should not be afraid of its government 00 || the government should be afriad of its people > monkeypantz.net|| _ cds unite || From harold_hartley at verizon.net Mon Sep 4 23:19:53 2006 From: harold_hartley at verizon.net (Harold Hartley) Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2006 19:19:53 -0400 Subject: remote desktop connection In-Reply-To: References: <44FC7EF4.6020003@verizon.net> Message-ID: <44FCB499.5010609@verizon.net> marc wrote: > Harold Hartley said... > >> I'm trying to setup my network so I can connect to my desktop from my >> laptop and vice versa. >> I've tried reading any help on it, but no luck. >> I've also played around the configuration too, but no go. >> >> Has anyone out there setup about the same thing that I'm trying to do. >> If so, maybe a hint or so might get me on the right track. >> > > Depends what you mean by 'connect'.

I would check to see if you can turn off the onboard sound card in the BIOS, then it may not be detected by Linux at boot up. Other than that, I have no useful suggestion.

From http://kontact.kde.org/components.php: The Sync Component KitchenSync, KDE's universal syncing application provides a framework for syncing with all kinds of devices. On one side it will have a plugin based interface with your mobile devices, like: PDA's and smart phones. On the other side it has conduits for connecting with other KDE Kontact components and external applications. The Sync component, provided by KitchenSync, is currently being implemented, therefore KitchenSync is not yet considered to be stable. Till the day that KitchenSync takes over we have two very nice applications that seamlessly integrate with KDE Kontact: KPilot for syncing with Palm compatible devices and Kandy for syncing with several mobile phone types. Eventually, KitchenSync will become a universal syncing framework. On 9/4/06, Rob Blomquist wrote: > I have used KPilot for many years, and have always synced with my PDA using > that.

It's highly possible that it's something I've just never seen or heard of. However, where I see your point, there is sudo/root which in a lot of ways is similar, yet it's quite different.

I guess it depends what you actually mean by a "user". You can assign two user _names_ the same _uid_ and home directory (I do that because I want access to my home drive from my corporate Windows box, and it's simpler to use the userid/password I logged onto the Windows network with). You _might_ then be able to add one of the two users to different groups - though I rather suspect that's based on uids, not user names. -- derek From mla at forrussia.org Tue Sep 5 18:38:55 2006 From: mla at forrussia.org (MLA) Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2006 14:38:55 -0400 Subject: One user, two passwords?

Well, ignoring for the moment that K/Ubuntu quietly ignores root, think of what apt does: if you're about to issue a command that's really going to mess up your system, it asks you to type, "Yes, do what I say" or something like that. Obviously, it wouldn't *just* be for rm -rf /*. The idea is that while tooling along using sudo, a user might tread into dangerous territory. While using sudo under the regular password, permission would be denied, which would be a reminder, "Are you sure you want to do this?" If the user is serious, then sudo-ing and using the new password would be the equivalent of typing, "Yes, do what I say".

Some discussion is about using autofs, some discussion mentions automount, and some other, pmount-through-hal (or the other way around?). It is all very confusing, and that's why I asked about the "official" best practice, as I don't want to hack something that will break when a new Kubuntu is released. I have read that it is possible to control de behaviour of udev using KDE, that it is seamlessly integrated. However, as far as I can tell, the only actions which are easily configurable in this way is to open a window when the device is inserted (and detected). What I would like is to only mount the device when needed, without user interaction (which is something autofs does, but it is not even installed here, so I don't want to waste time on this if a more kubuntu-friendly way exists). Is there some ultimate way of achieving this?

There are two more trees of "broken packages" problems below kdelibs4-dev ... See below PS for command output.

Sam, If you are currently using Dapper, and have done all the upgrades you have been notified by from the Adept Notifier in the task bar, or by doing "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" you are running the same as 6.06.1 LTS.

Sorry, I overlooked it on last reply. Re: mplayerplug-in and mozilla-mplayer. I am aware that mozilla-mplayer(kubuntu 3.17) provides the plugin. I had it installed but mozilla didn't play the embeds. A user, maybe you as I'm all confused over this issue, said he could play the embeds with mozilla using gxineplugin so I rmed mozilla-mplayer and installed qxineplugin which didn't work for me and it was in the about plugins list. Kevin DeKortes, of mplayer-plugin-develop fame, suggested I remove mozilla-mplayer and install mplayerplug-in which is not in Kubuntu distro mirrors as far as I can tell. I did find an rpm googling, mplayerplug-in-3.30-fc5.i386.rpm and converted it to a deb with wajig rpmtodeb, and installed it with dpkg -i, but it doesn't show up in about plugins. I can run the apt show or wajig list and it shows to be installed but I can't find it with locate. I will try to reinstall mozilla-mplayer eventually but I want a newer version(had v3.25 before leaving Deb) to reinstall and also want to get some feedback from Kevin on just what he wants me to try. I did add a deb mirror that should have gotten me a later version: #Sid Debian Multimedia (packages, GPG key: 07DC563D1F41B907) deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main Update gave no error for the mirror after adding the key. However, apt search still shows v3.17, the kubuntu uptodate version. I'm not that familiar adding the gpg key and may have an error. so, that's were I stand. Of course, I'm very much open to any suggestion you might have and will try them out while waiting on Kevin.

Sorry. > It is not completely true that this is the "only" way possible. There is one other alternative, although a little more difficult, but with some advantages. You can set up an IMAP server (I use cyrus) and move your email to it. Then you can get to it with quite a few different email clients. I also use fetchmail to retrieve my email from my ISP and using sieve, I pre-sort my email into various folders. I can also access it from any where in the world (using imaps) that I can get onto the Internet. It does take more work to setup initially than the option given in the Mozilla FAQ, but in the long run I believe that it is worth while. Obviously this loses some appeal if you only have one computer (especially if it is a laptop and you carry it with you). It is however, a good way to start learning to administer an email server. -- Kelly L.

There is no way to make any system that requires only password access to the superuser harder to access than by giving it _some_ password. However, logging the access _is_ additional security. su is not "two passwords away from root access". From inside your user account, su or sudo are both exactly one password away. -- derek From eduard.bonet at upf.edu Wed Sep 6 13:40:43 2006 From: eduard.bonet at upf.edu (Eduard Bonet) Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2006 15:40:43 +0200 Subject: Need advice: ASUS Z92M 64x2 In-Reply-To: <200609060640.37163.grumpypenguin@qwest.net> References: <44FEAF66.6080404@upf.edu><200609060627.25689.grumpypenguin@qwes t.net><44FECA5C.8030402@upf.edu> <200609060640.37163.grumpypenguin@qwest.net> Message-ID: <44FECFDB.9020808@upf.edu> well, thanks.

Yes, from inside a user account. The difference being with sudo they already have that password and with su they don't (as long as one doesn't pick the same password for usser and root). With the standard Ubuntu server setup and SSH added in a dictionary attacker needs to guess one password. With a root account and no root login set for SSH, then it's two. For a desktop, sudo is probably better (I use it there), but for an internet exposed server managed by a competent admin it's not.

If you're talking about an _outsider_ getting access to your system, you should first of all be relying on better security than just a password. Nobody can use a dictionary attack to get to my system by ssh. For an insider, you're giving them intentional access to superuser applications - you either do it by giving them the root password, or by giving the user sudo access to those apps. In either case, what password they use is the least of the security issues. > For a desktop, sudo is probably better (I use it there), but for an > internet exposed server managed by a competent admin it's not. If you don't use it, you've got no logging of who's doing what as root, or any way to restrict them to a subset of the possible commands. Which makes me think that this might be a way to use a single uid with different usernames - I'm not sure whether sudo uses usernames or uids to validate access. -- derek From T.Six at gmx.de Wed Sep 6 18:47:48 2006 From: T.Six at gmx.de (Thilo Six) Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2006 20:47:48 +0200 Subject: One user, two passwords?

When you use su, root is a well known useraccount for attacks with a password-cruncher from outside. When using sudo, the password grabber has also to grab the right username according to this password to login. Only the right combination of both will let him in, and since on every ubuntu box the sudo (admin) user has an other username this is additional security. > Scott K bye Thilo - -- i am on Ubuntu 2.6 KDE - - some friend of mine gpg key: Ox4A411E09 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE/xfTgkdHiUpBHgkRAzKNAJkBL+HBuRGImMV3KfXwDyMUpM4BjQCfYEA5 C23eWokUNPObQKQibuui1ps= =oayl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From kubuntu at kitterman.com Wed Sep 6 19:38:00 2006 From: kubuntu at kitterman.com (Scott Kitterman) Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2006 15:38 -0400 Subject: One user, two passwords?

But now I think about it, the Mandriva system has a habit of installing 32-bit apps on a 64-bit system, so it is possible (although a bit unlikely) that it was a 32-bit app and I didn't notice. So maybe that's the problem: maybe it's not available in a 64-bit version. I'll add it to my semi-infinite to-do list to try to build it from source and see what happens.

Even easier, and something from recent builds of Kmail... Put a bunch of addresses into your To, CC, BCC fields and click "Save Contact List". It's slick.

There's probably a better way but you can do it by viewing the message with all headers displayed, Ctrl+Shift+a, Ctrl+c, Shift+F then tab into the message pane, Ctrl+a, Ctrl+v. It looks more complicated than it is.

They're big, fat and annoying and the HTML usually doesn't add anything worthwhile to the email! As a general rule, if you need to use text formatting to express yourself, you're probably trying to express something too forcefully.

Unfortunately, I believe it is not up-to-date with the freedesktop recommendations to use .desktop files in */applications folders. Maybe it is still used by the Debian sub-menu.

I've used it for about 9 months on Mdv 2006, and maybe three weeks now under Kubuntu (both 64-bit systems). Both behaved the same way: SK would crash at least once every few days, and sometimes much more frequently. I haven't tried SK on a 32-bit system. It doesn't seem to make any difference what SK themes I am using, although I can sort-of convince myself that the more themes I am running, the more frequently SK crashes. It isn't actually obvious that SK is undergoing active development any more, so maybe there's nothing to be done. But I sure would like to know if I'm the only one who gets frustrated with SK crashes. Pain shared is pain lessened, I guess.

Technically, Konqueror is the only thing you should need, since it can do anything, however, since people don't ever use W3C validated HTML, firefox and its more resilient rendering engine has a much better time. And KMail does support the sending of HTML messages, though why you'd need to is a total mystery to me. -- http://lordsauronthegreat.googlepages.com/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I've read the man bash, sh and regret having done so. There very geeky and totally useless for me. Also did the info thing. Here is what I tried before and again now but wont work: # !/bin/sh $ sudo !/bin/sh Then just trying things: $ sudo /bin/sh $ sudo !/bin/sh $ sudo ! /bin/sh Nothing seemed to work. Got "command not found" or nothing as output. One of the commands may have worked but could't tell for sure. Would appreciate the correct command and syntax so that I don't lose any time trouble shooting a DHCP/DNS issue envolving resolvconf and also any links to a good Kubuntu wiki or howto for running script files, so that I may improve my knowledge on the subject.

Click on that and type "kate /etc/apt/sources.list" (without the quotes). It will pull up your sources.list file in a simple(but incredible) text editor. (or you can just type it in your terminal). Select all, copy it and paste it into your email.......is what I think he meant. If I recall correctly, I have run into a similar issue on the lock issue: > E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily > unavailable) > E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another > process using it? Is there an adept icon in you system panel? I seem to recall on my wife's kubuntu box an icon which notifies you of available updates. I think it is a red triangle like icon. I believe, but could be mistaken, that it locks the resource. Either click on it, or disable it and try again from the terminal.

If you updated the kernel then you need to reinstall any video drivers you had installed previously against the new kernel so that they will work. You can also run the following command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to set up your xorg.conf file again. I'd suggest making a backup of your current one first then doing that.

Huh, yes you are. . :-). However, I use SK everyday but just for Liquid Weather++ (v12.1). I wasn't aware that SK has ceased being actively developed. But, I'm like the other poster, I really don't just sit and stare at my desktop, so things like SK are just a novelty to me. I use LW++ because it references The Weather Channel, whereas ForecastFox uses Accuweather. Accuweather is "OK" but there are times when they're just not up to par. So I balance them. Anyway, now I'm digressing. But, I have found SK to be kinda shaky at times, and in need of a little coaxing to run right. But, since I don't "depend" on it, its no big deal. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! http://risenbooks.com Christian bookstore From trudiekoen at telkomsa.net Sat Sep 9 21:09:19 2006 From: trudiekoen at telkomsa.net (Koen) Date: Sat, 9 Sep 2006 23:09:19 +0200 Subject: Adept Manager not working Message-ID: Can somebody send me a copy of their /etc/apt/sources.list so that i can paste it into my kate.

There is clearly quite a bit of theme development going on, but it's much less clear that there's any work going on with the actual SK engine -- which is where the stability problem(s) seem(s) to lie. Maybe they're all working on a Plasma-based version or something. > But, I'm like the other > poster, I really don't just sit and stare at my desktop, so things like SK > are just a novelty to me. I use SK (at least, I try to) for lots of stuff: controlling and monitoring my VPN tunnel, monitoring my system's CPU and network usage, timing my tea, telling me which devices on my LAN are working properly, which remote file systems are mounted, checking my POP mailbox every minute, quick review of e-mails without downloading them. All kinds of useful things. So you can imagine how frustrating it is when it crashes on me. Sure, it only takes about two minutes to restart SK (although it's annoying that one has to restart every single theme individually; despite many attempts, I've never been able to get it to load all the themes properly when SK starts), so it's hardly the end of the world -- just very, very annoying. And not a good advertisement for Linux when someone says "what a cool desktop" and I have to tell them that it would be a lot cooler if it didn't spontaneously crash every day or two.

Your hint about the chown command pointed me in the correct direction. I changed the owner of the mount point from root to me and now everything is OK. I already had it labeled as rw in the fstab file, but since the owner was root, I couldn't access it using my own user id.

I understand why they do it, but not everyone does. RTFM allows you to teach yourself, which is good. You are lucky to have quick responses, and that has been the nature of the mailing lists around here. Well, I guess a Welcome is in order. One thing I would recommend, is try to keep as much patience as possible. You are going to have difficult times, and easy times. There are times where you run into an issue that may take hours, days, or even weeks to fix, and this will wear your patience thin. Good luck with your Kubuntu future, and we are glad to have you on-board!

During installation the program couldn't update the system and i thought that i should do it afterwards but ran in to some major difficulties, apt-get and aptitude just would not work. I was able to surf the net and get mail and so on but i just could not get updates or install other apps. After some web research i came to the conclusion that the problem was in my network settings; i changed the dns ip settings to the ip-adress of my internet provider and after that everything worked excellent. I am using an adsl connection with a modem and a router and it was these adresses that were set by default as dns servers. I got the new adresses by exploring the modem settings in my web browser The sources.list i use is the same provided to you by Rick Johnson.

I can help with this one because I have a Brother MFC5480 CN (has an extra Paper tray) You need to go here: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html The LPR and CUPS things are just two different print systems in Linux & UNIX. (BTW: CUPS is what Macs use now apparently) LPD - is Line Printer Daemon (LPR is part of that, and I have forgotten what the R stands for) CUPS - is Common UNIX Print System What Brother has done is created an LPD Printer Driver and a CUPS wrapper to use it. So, if you're using CUPS, which you are in Kubuntu, you can manage your printer from there. You will need to download both LPR and CUPS drivers for Debian (because Kubuntu is Debian based). Then follow the directions on the Web site. If your printer is connected via USB it should work right off the bat once the CUPS driver is installed, if you are using it on a Network you'll have to adjust the properties and redirect it from the USB port to the Network. Also, if you plan on using custom page sizes forget it. They're not supported under Linux. For some reason the losers could support it under a MAC (running CUPS) but not under Linux, (also running CUPS). Go Figure. If I had the money I'd go back and buy an Epson (or maybe a Lexmark if they've improved any). They're the only ones left that work with Linux over a Network. HP makes you buy a JetDirect Card for most of its printers to work over a network, and Brother has crippled drivers. > Second problem is the WEP encrption (128).

See what that does. Over the years I've come to realize that GUI package managers don't do the job that running the commands from CLI do. This is in every distro I've ever tried. Not sure why it is, but that's just how it is and I'm one of millions that think this way. The power of a Linux OS is from the CLI. It's easier to learn than most people think it is. It's also quicker to use a package manager from the CLI from my experience. Good luck and hope this helps.

For amarok, etc. do this: sudo apt-get upgrade You will get the error listing the packages held back. Then: sudo apt-get install [list the exact package names here] It will then ask you if it's OK to upgrade those packages and install some other new ones. Say yes. That should do it. If not, report back and we'll try again.

My Pc running Kubuntu constantly gets problems. I installed my settings "sudo pppoeconf" and in system settings @ the network settings I typed in my Primary and secondary DNS servers. I got 2 pc's connected to my adsl hub using Ethernet although this is also an a wifi hub. If I surf for 5 minutes Kubuntu freezes so badly that I have to Reset as nothing else works. Somebody out there got the same problem and how was it resolved. Where else can I config my pppoE I also "sudo pon dsl-provider". The hub is a ADSL 5102G with 4 ports and Wifi.

I wonder if your DNS servers are confilicting with the ones that your DSL providers want you to use. I would try removing them and then restarting the network on your machine. I have been running linux for years now, and mine was auto configured as DHCP by my router, and things are working excellent without my intervention. Most ADSL providers are pushing DHCP ip-addresses and routing information for the client machines. You don't talk about how your network is configured, but if you have more than 1 machine connected to an ADSL connection, you will need a router. If you are only using a hub, you may be in trouble, and that could easily cause it.

You can type ifconfig to get a good bit of info about your connection. The command route will get you the routing table, both can be used to configure your connection as root. You will enter these commands in a console window. the KDE console program is Konsole, under System in the KDE Menu. It would be interesting to see output of ifconfig, and route from your machine. In Konsole, highlight the text you want to copy, and right click select "copy", then paste it into an email. To use System Settings, you would enter all the info in Network Settings as the root administrator. Mine is set up to use my router as the default gateway, and as the DNS provider. But the first thing I would check out is the ADSL router. Is it compatible with Linux, or does it need to be tweaked, thrown out, or worked around? Query google for answers. Use both the router name and model and the ISP and linux. You may find answers there.

No, that file alone WILL NOT cut it. There are two files for the 5440, the file you mention above is JUST a wrapper, you HAVE to download the LPR .deb file as well. The 5440 is a single paper tray version of the 5480 (which I own). I have also owned a 5440. Not only that, but if you are connected via USB as soon as you install the deb files for both the LPR, and the CUPS wrapper you'll have a printer named "MFC5440CN" that will work with standard paper sizes. > > I can help with this one because I have a Brother MFC5480 CN (has an > > extra Paper tray) > > You need to go here: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! http://risenbooks.com Christian bookstore From darylXYZ at ci.com.au Tue Sep 12 00:00:24 2006 From: darylXYZ at ci.com.au (Daryl Sayers) Date: 12 Sep 2006 10:00:24 +1000 Subject: evolution now running firefox Message-ID: I have installed evolution on my kubuntu dapper 6.06.1 via aptitude.

It should've been "shebang." It's just a magic number that the shell knows to look for. It's contracted from sharp (#) and bang (!) characters. If you are wondering, those odd names are so that the programmer could specify those characters by name since they are not valid in variable names. There's others like splat (*) and others. I know. It didn't help to answer your question, but you were wondering what it was. :-D Anyway. You'd probably want (#!/bin/bash) as your first line so you can simply call the script without specifying the interpreter to be used. If that is okay, then add the -x since it will tell you which command in the script is failing.

I noticed all the old .wmas were in there, a change, as in the previous amaroK version i had installed on my old 32-bit the .wma's were not even registered in the collection database. Out of the curiousity i just had to click on some of my old favourites. Voila - it plays "Forever today"....:-) And now comes "Gold for the prize of Silver"....weeeehaa! I don't think i have any special packages installed to fix this, just stuff from the various kubuntu repositories. Which package works these wonders?

Hi Eduard I have a AMD 64 X2 stationary. I don't know what programs you want to run, but there is a lot of programs to choose from. I think many of the most popular programs and file formats are 64-bit compatible by now. I am using the 2.6.15-26-amd64-generic kernel and most of my applications and desktop system seems actually more stable than in the 32-bit version. This, however, might be because I had give KDE a few extra tweaks on my 32-bit. I think I can say that if you have very special programs you are intending to run, you may have to do a bit of compiling yourself for the 64-bit version, but you can expect very much of the generally popular software to work on 64 bit. Laptops is a bit of an issue here, since they are known to have quite a few components on the hardware side that may be custom. I guess it may be an issue to get all components on a high-end laptop working under linux, regardless of 32 or 64 -bit, but that 64 bit may require a little extra work as there is not many 64-bit laptops around yet.

Which package works these wonders? In order to play stuff than needs special codecs, you need to run the 32 bit version of the app. And you can use the program "linux32" to trick the 64 bit version to let you install it, then you need to do the same thing with all the codecs you need. Because this was such a hassle, I moved my 64 bit machine back to 32 bit Ubuntu, and will be waiting for everything to go 64 bits before I jump back on the wagon.

Let me express myself more clearly: I can play, I can play and it is easy! I have read statements like yours (cited above) more than a couple of times, and as I said I had bitten the bullet and accepted that I would no longer be able to play .wma or .wmv files. I acceppted this, and I have performed no windows-32-compatibility tweaks to my knowledge. The only package I can find installed that might offer this is libxine-extracodecs which is in the multiverse repository. (I searched in Adept on w32, win32 and codec as search strings). I cannot at this time guarantee there is not a quality loss, but it looks at least as good as with the w32codecs (or was it win32codecs) that played this kind of files on my 32 bit (which now by the way has a dead GPU and therefore cannot be inspected at the moment for comparisons). All the software on my 64-bit is from the repositories, I have no custom compiles or alien packages.

No, that file alone WILL NOT cut it. There are two files for the 5440, the file you mention above is JUST a wrapper, you HAVE to download the LPR .deb file as well. The 5440 is a single paper tray version of the 5480 (which I own). I have also owned a 5440. Not only that, but if you are connected via USB as soon as you install the deb files for both the LPR, and the CUPS wrapper you'll have a printer named "MFC5440CN" that will work with standard paper sizes. > > I can help with this one because I have a Brother MFC5480 CN (has an > > extra Paper tray) > > You need to go here: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! http://risenbooks.com Christian bookstore -- kubuntu-users mailing list kubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

AFAIK w32codecs package just adds vmw9 capability to what is already provided by libxine-extracodecs.

I have to agree with Thomas. My experience with 64-bit Kubuntu is great.

Not a clue, but if your install complains that a file isn't there, just create it. If the worst happens and apache doesn't work, purge and reinstall (without doing a remove first), and all should be well. -- derek From rscrawford at mossroot.com Thu Sep 14 15:48:51 2006 From: rscrawford at mossroot.com (Richard S.

I ended up doing apt-get --reinstall for all of the missing packages, and that worked. I had thought to do Apache instead of Apache2 because I'd heard that PHP5 works better with Apache than with Apache2. Now, unfortunately, even though Apache2 is working fine, PHP5 is not working, and none of the Apache2 modules have loaded. In a word: argh. -- Richard S.

Message-ID: Hiya! After I went from Fedora Core 2 to Ubuntu Dapper 6.06, I can't get ACPI to work, so I've researched a little. First of all there seemed to be a problem with hald and acpi, which was fixed. I therefore upgraded to 2.6.15-26.47, hoping that this would remedy. It didn't. I also saw some tips about starting acpid before hald, but I did not find out how to actually do it. I tried to stop hald manually, and then start acpid. This worked, but the functionality did not. My machine did not start to "powersave", and the options did not appear in kcontrol's "Laptop&Power" or "Display" settings, where they are in my Fedora Core 2. Then I found out that FC loads a module called asus_acpi. But when I do this with Dapper, this happenes: sudo modprobe -v asus_acpi insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-k7/kernel/drivers/acpi/asus_acpi.ko FATAL: Error inserting asus_acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-k7/kernel/drivers/acpi/asus_acpi.ko): No such device well, that's about what I've found out. I have no idea why this module does not work, or how to fix it. But since this works in FC2 (under 2.6.5) it obviously looks possible to me.

I have the same problem with my A4 wireless mouse. The buttons sometimes stick, and I must (lightly) bang the mouse against the table to free them. What brand of mouse have you? Try giving it a light tap, see if that frees a stuck key.

And what about the authorization its complaining about? This all 'Just Worked(TM)' when a previous debian based install was on this box, and it works from my firewall box, so I know it can work. But apparently not how to make it work. :( Comments welcome. Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

In my kubuntu installation, it does appear a little toolbar when I open an image, and it let's me zoom in/out, go to the next image, etc... The toolbar is called GVImagePart.

However, it sounds to me like you at the basic level here is missing a modeline for 1400x1050 in your xorg.conf. Just to try to explain what I mean. This is what it looks like in mine: myuser at mymachine:~$ more /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... ...(i am skipping non related stuff on top of the filehere) ... Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "NVIDIA Corporation NVIDIA Default Card" Monitor "SyncMaster" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection EndSection ... ... (there is more below but that is not relevant, i think) ... The line starting with Modes i think is what you are looking for. I have a flat panel display with 1600x1200 resolution, and I am not really interesteed in using any other resolution, so I don't have any alternatives. However, if your desired screen selection is not in this list of modes, it will not be selectable. This is a "modeline" from a previous version of my xorg.conf: Section "Screen" ... (skipping) Subsection "Display" ... (skipping) Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1 024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" Endsubsection .... (skipping) EndSection With this modeline, all the listed resolutions are selectable from within the Kmenu>System Settings>Display>Size, Orientation and Positioning. You will want to check that in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf the 1400x1050 is listed in the "modeline". (Notice there may be several sets of these for various colour depths, and you need it in all). If you are not familiar with editing the xorg.conf, you can probably google up a tutorial somewhere, but always backup the original, and then don't try to rewrite all of it at once. Ask rather one too many questions than one too few. This file is instrumental in getting yorur graphic desktop to work, if it is destroyed, it can be rebuilt quite easily, but you will have to do that from a console login.

You can always put the source version in, which tends to release sooner, but then you'll need to manually upgrade. If you do alot of source installing, you may want to look into "checkinstall" which allows you to create a deb file from your source so that you may use dpkg to remove it later. - Billy On 9/15/06, Billy Pollifrone wrote: > The obvious is that when a new one is put out in the repos, you can do > an apt-get update and you'll get the newest. > > - Billy > > On 9/15/06, Michael wrote: > > What are the advantages of using apt-get and installing Firefox > > from a repository and downloading Firefox for the Mozilla web > > site?

You'll have to get it from the acrobat site; it does install fine from there. That's the way I had to get it too. Incidentally, apparently it is available via adept if one's running a 32-bit machine; hence the posts here saying "yes it is available". It would be nice if Kubuntu were to tell one this (if only to avoid the "yes it is available", "no it isn't", "yes it is" threads), but it doesn't. It would be even better if there some way to have Kubuntu install the 32-version properlyand automatically on 64-bit systems (à la Mandriva -- but then Mdv has other problems managing a mix of 32-bit and 64-bit programs, so maybe it's better that Kubuntu doesn't even attempt to automate the process).

I have looked for several source packages with apt search, show and can't find them. I have all the deb src's listed in my sources.list. Would you explain, please, how you access the source files(mplayerplug-in for one, mozilla-mplayer-3.30 another) and get them into the cache file. Once there I think I could compile/install. I'm sure I have forgotten something as I've downloaded kernel source before. Appreciate any enlightenment.

As to what address the host (Kubuntu) has, that depends on how you have setup VMware networking. If you have it set to be a NAT network then the kubuntu host will use the address for vmnet1 (ifconfig vmnet1), if you have setup a host-only network then the address will be assigned to vmnet8 and for bridged networking then you need to look at the adapter you set VMware to bridge to.

You can type ifconfig to get a good bit of info about your connection. The command route will get you the routing table, both can be used to configure your connection as root. You will enter these commands in a console window. the KDE console program is Konsole, under System in the KDE Menu. It would be interesting to see output of ifconfig, and route from your machine. In Konsole, highlight the text you want to copy, and right click select "copy", then paste it into an email. To use System Settings, you would enter all the info in Network Settings as the root administrator. Mine is set up to use my router as the default gateway, and as the DNS provider.

You can type ifconfig to get a good bit of info about your connection. The command route will get you the routing table, both can be used to configure your connection as root. You will enter these commands in a console window. the KDE console program is Konsole, under System in the KDE Menu. It would be interesting to see output of ifconfig, and route from your machine. In Konsole, highlight the text you want to copy, and right click select "copy", then paste it into an email. To use System Settings, you would enter all the info in Network Settings as the root administrator. Mine is set up to use my router as the default gateway, and as the DNS provider. But the first thing I would check out is the ADSL router. Is it compatible with Linux, or does it need to be tweaked, thrown out, or worked around? Query google for answers.

But I don't think they have .debs, just an .exe that installs it and ignores the resident packageing system. Ditto for firefox, but it has one update advantage over the rpm or tarball version in that when an update is available, it will pull it, install it, and restart itself without wipeing out your carefully installed plugins. AFAIK, none of the packageing systems extant can do that. Which is one reason I used to run a link to the plugins dir, the installers could wipe it out all they wanted & all I had to do was remake the link. :) -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

From your list, looks like I'm all set. Thank you. In looking over your list, the only difference I see is that you specify: dapper-security main restricted universe multiverse and the original Dapper 6.06 list had separate listings for dapper-security main and dapper-security universe only. So the only difference is your inclusion of restricted and multiverse. Does this affect anything important? The only other thing that was different in mine was dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse which I have commented out! No bleeding edge for me .

If you're using VMWare Workstation just enable the share folder via the WinXP setup deal in Workstation. I setup just one common directory to share, works fine.

Griffith is geared for movies specifically but as mentioned the search capabilities are limited. I also build the latest tellico packages for both Mandriva and *Ubuntu and my site has been linked to on Robby's tellico page for quite some time. My repo can be found at http://seerofsouls.com and then click on the Deb Packages tab at the top. Both great apps and both highly recommended. Thanks for bringing up tellico Marcus for this project.

I recommend external modems (even to Windows users) especially if something happens to the system there isn't a hunt for the driver. That's the worst driver not to have, since once the network is accesible, you can usually get the other ones which usually isn't a concern if it's directly supported under Linux but is a big concern under Windows. - Billy On 9/18/06, Orjan Sinclair wrote: > Found out that it is the Smarlink/Conexant HSF modem.

Having a full root shell increases the risk of an "oopsie" and if left open when not needed anymore gives access to someone else who may sit down at the system. That's just my opinion.

If you cannot connect like that, go to the xp guest, browse to the folder you want to copy, right-click and choose sharing, and share the folder. Once that is done, you can connect with konq again to smb://user at ip/sharename. Remember that you will need to check the box "allow network users to modify these files" or something similar if you want to copy files *to* the xp guest.

You can also right-click and choose a few known spam mails and "Apply Filter/Classify as Spam". It seems to be working for me now, but I don't understand how it works yet. I have Spam Assasin on my ISP's mail server, and I filter on the header name I gave my filter. That works nicely. About 80-90% of spam is sent to /dev/null on the server that way (after a few days just in case an important message was a wrongly caught). A filter on the subject using a reg-ex was good for some recents mails: Reg-ex: PH.*RMA and PH.*ACY. Simple but it works where the others failed.

"Tellico" has a database type called "File Catalog". You can create entries for any existing file or directory. I'm going to use it as a document manager for scanned PDF files. You can do this with AVI files or any other and customize the fields/tags as you please. As for tagging, Tellico let's you set up the database fields exactly as you like. You are not "tagging" the actual AVI files themselves like you do MP3 files. Instead you are creating a database which references and links to the actual files. There are existing database fields (file name, size etc), or you can create all your tags/fields yourself. This is called a custom database in Tellico. It's very simple to use. Select "Collection/Collection Fields" and create the ones you want. Play around with Tellico, it's very flexible. If you need help join the Tellico mailing list (only a few messages per week). If you want to view your movies out of Tellico, I think you just create a link/URL field, and the movie should play in your prefered player when you click the link. This probably depends on your KDE settings. I have to check this out myself yet. It certainly works because others wrote about file catalogs on the Tellico mailing list. Btw, I recently wrote a blog article with two methods of creating cross-references in Tellico. So you can either group your entries, or list them according to which other entries they are related to: http://www.wordit.com/words/2006/09/10/creating-cross-references-in-tellico/ And a general intro, which is also a promo for Kubuntu :-) : http://www.wordit.com/words/2006/09/03/movie-software/ Marcus From jgomezdans at gmail.com Mon Sep 18 14:13:37 2006 From: jgomezdans at gmail.com (Jose Gomez-Dans) Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 16:13:37 +0200 Subject: Kimdaba and USB mass storage Message-ID: <91d218430609180713s10bb043cy95740255145114a@mail.gmail.com> Hi!

I consider it a rather scary hack, and think you should try without it first. What does: # gtf 1400 1050 60 say? If it shows you anything, you shouldn't need 915resolution. Paste the output into the monitor section of your xorg.conf like: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Laptop Monitor" # 1400x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 122.61 MHz Modeline "1400x1050_60.00" 122.61 1400 1488 1640 1880 1050 1051 1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync ... You only want to add the two lines from gtf, don't worry about anything else. Then in the "Screen" section where you have: Modes "1024x768" (there may, of course, be other modes) add the new value: Modes "1400x1050_60.00" "1024x768" (be sure to put it at the beginning, so that it's used as the default).

What is missing here? I think this is another protocol used on digital cameras. It may be that your camera cannot act as a full USB storage device, and will only transfer using this protocol. In other words, it may only work with the driver used by the photo album software. Maybe somebody else can confirm.

Tellico seems to be a wonderful program. Will it show me a thumbnail view of my movie files, and let me open them by a click (or double)? And can I tag those thumbnails to show only the ones related to what I want? Tellico doesn't seems to be able to do that from what I've read so far. But I may be wrong. Thanks.

If not you can place a feature request. Movies usually do not show in Konqueror as thumbnails or do they? A simple way, is to create snapshot(s) from your movies as JPEGs/PNGs. Then create an image field in your database (collection fields) and place the image in that movie's entry. This is how DVD and CD covers are displayed. There is usually a way if you think about it. > , and let me open them by a click (or double)? Yes, it took me 5 minutes to create a DB, add some movies I have recorded from TV. It creates a link (called URL), and it launches the movie in Kaffeine for me when clicked. > And can I tag those thumbnails to show only the > ones related to what I want? I'm not sure about thumbnails, see above. Read my last mail again, and follow the link on cross-references (grouping). Just install it and play around with the program for a while. Join the mailing list for more advanced questions. Use the latest version 1.2.2.1(?). The standard Ubuntu repositories have an old version. See my and Hawkwind's emails for links.

Please forgive me for not fully understanding. I've just completed my first compile or rather Rune Baggetun took me by the hand and walked me through it step by step. Thanks for kind people like Rune. Ok, I understand that you get the source code from the author site such as "mplayerplug-in-3.31" from the mplayerplug-in download uri at sourceforge.net. And I gather from your comments that you wont get this from the Kubuntu mirrors only kernel source codes. Got that if I'm correct so far. What I don't fully understand, or accept, is your statement that "The source repository should only be the same version as the available binary and ... ." Which suggests that I should only compile for the sake compiling on my distro not for upgrading purposed; of course, I'm likely misunderstanding you. My mozilla-mplayer-3.17 dapper 6.0.6-1 just wont play embedded videos. So, at Rune's suggestion we compiled the cvs version 3.31 and now I can play embedds on mozilla browser. Someone on Kubuntu users, I think, recently told me that a tar.gz for mplayerplug-in or maybe it was mozilla-mplayer, version 3.30. was available from Kubuntu mirrors(which one?) which is what prompted my original OT question. I'm just trying to understand how to get a newer version of mozilla-mplayer, or mplayerplug-in via some Kubuntu mirror(not necessarily supported ones) as the version 3.17 available just wont work for me.

Let's suppose I write Kfoo program. It's an open source program. I decide to put it on Sourceforge. I release version 2.0. Kubuntu or Debian or whatever may not include 2.0 in their distro. I may consider it stable, but that doesn't mean it is stable in any or all distros. It could take a few days, or it could take a rather long time before it is tested and released and placed in the corresponding repositories. That's a good thing. There are bleeding edge distros and there are ones on the other end of the spectrum. The source being available in the repository satisfies the GPL requirement (rather nicely I might add) but that doesn't mean that Kfoo will be 2.0 in the repository. If you want to compile the HEAD version, you are free to do so. Sooner or later the Kfoo for the distro will be 2.0 after it has been tested. As I said in an earlier posting, I recommend checking out the "checkinstall" package if you tend to compile and install source so that you can create a deb package should you decide to remove it later. You never know if you'll like what you put in. - Billy On 9/18/06, Leonard Chatagnier wrote: > Billy. > Please forgive me for not fully understanding.

So am very happy for support but please don't expect me to try and explain HOW the stuff got there. I simply changed the monitor setting to Dell Laptop 1400 * 1050 in "Display" settings Hardware settings and that is what came it out of it. the "gtf 1400 1050 60" gives this output; "1400x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 122.61 MHz Modeline "1400x1050_60.00" 122.61 1400 1488 1640 1880 1050 1051 1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync" Sinclair -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In other words, it may only work with the The camera works fine as an USB storage. PTP is indeed some protocol, and I can switch the camera to work as either a PTP or an USB. Digikam lets me have a "pure" USB Mass Storage (and I point to the directory where the camera is mounted). However, kimdaba does not have a plain USB storage.

There are a number of ways to see them - kpackage (and iirc synaptic) will show them. They will normally be installed to /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE/changelog.gz. # aptitude changelog PACKAGE does essentially the same thing as your URL above.

No "Modeline" lines in the Monitor section, just the one Display subsection and only the Modes you actually care about - there's no point in having 1280x960 if you're never going to use it. Specify Modes as: Modes "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768" and any other sizes you really care about. Restart X. If you have any modes that aren't working, _then_ try adding the output from gtf for that resolution to the monitor section. Change the Modes value, for that resolution to include the _60 (ie, Modes "1400x1050_60" "1280x1024"...) that's provided by gtf. -- derek From rbmorse at comcast.net Tue Sep 19 13:22:20 2006 From: rbmorse at comcast.net (Ron Morse) Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2006 07:22:20 -0600 Subject: 915resolution In-Reply-To: <4ba734f90609190026v66235fc4u78feb4ea7d2a3974@mail.gmail.com> References: <4ba734f90609152320h4ab3191cm7436c56daef02ca8@mail.gmail.com> <4ba734f90609190026v66235fc4u78feb4ea7d2a3974@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <200609190722.20660.rbmorse@comcast.net> I find bottom posting makes communication tedious.

I am, as I pointed out, not very clear of how xorg.conf works. Parts of it seems clear enough, others sort of jibberish. To me, that is. What I want to achieve is 1400 * 1050 resolution on a 4:3 Dell LCD laptop screen. It is of course using 60 hz then. Anything else is in basically unnecessary. At the moment the maximum I get is 1280 * 1024 60 no matter what I try. I have tried some of your various advice and also some other things. In "System Settings", "Display" you have "Hardware" section. It was after I changed there that I got all these modelines, virtual and whatnot in xorg.conf. After that I went back to original xorg.conf that I had saved. I have since changed it after running "gtf 1400 1050 60" to be as follows; this has however had no impact on what resolution I get; Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device" Driver "i810" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Laptop Monitor" Option "DPMS" # 1400x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 122.61 MHz Modeline "1400x1050_60.00" 122.61 1400 1488 1640 1880 1050 1051 1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync HorizSync 28-70 VertRefresh 43-60 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device" Monitor "Laptop Monitor" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1400x1050_60" "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection Any ideas are appreciated. The 915resolution came up because I read "somewhere" that this is the only way to make this card/screen work in intended resolution.

So that should, first, give you a valid modeline for 1400x1050. The HorizSync & VertRefresh values include the hsync & refresh (65.22 & 60) for the mode, so that's good. > Section "Screen" > Identifier "Default Screen" > Device "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics > Device" > Monitor "Laptop Monitor" > DefaultDepth 16 > SubSection "Display" > Depth 24 > Modes "1400x1050_60" "1024x768" > EndSubSection > EndSection See, if you're getting 1280x1024 - it's not specified there. I _still_ think the DefaultDepth is flakey. Set it to 24. I think you're defaulting to a depth of 16 bits per pixel, and then using an entirely default set of modes - which includes 1280x1024 but not 1400x1050. > Any ideas are appreciated. The 915resolution came up because I read > "somewhere" that this is the only way to make this card/screen work in > intended resolution. You're reading that because there's any number of users out there who say it's so. I'm here to tell you that the same card on a different Dell model doesn't need it, and I have serious doubts that those who say it does have every really tried to solve their problems without it. In the end, my observation is that most of the people who are running it didn't solve their problem with 915resolution _anyway_, it was just one of the steps they took and they left it in because it did no obvious harm. -- derek From kubuntu at kitterman.com Tue Sep 19 14:37:00 2006 From: kubuntu at kitterman.com (Scott Kitterman) Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2006 10:37 -0400 Subject: Top/Bottom Posting - was Re: 915resolution Message-ID: <20060919143820.E35591500F8@mailout02.controlledmail.com> On Tue, 19 Sep 2006 07:22:20 -0600 Ron Morse wrote: >I find bottom posting makes communication tedious. > >Perhaps we should all do what works best for us and make >necessary accommodations rather than try to impose our >personal preferences on everybody else. > I'd put it a different way... People asking questions on lists like this are asking other to volunteer their time to help them. Those asking questions ought to be responsive to the preferences of those who've volunteered to help them out. (Note: This says nothing about which way to do it.) Some other points: - Please be consistent. A mix of top and bottom posts is worst of all to read. If you change in mid-stream, please edit the entire message so it can be followed. - Please adjust the subject line as the topic drifts. - Please trim the previously replies to reduce clutter but maintain context. Many (most) read this as a mailing list and we don't all keep all the old messages. Each message should make sense on its own without pages of old information that is no longer needed. - Please don't complain about the free answer you just got. You got more than you paid for already. Ask more questions as necessary, but don't complain. - It helps get a good answer if you let people know what you've already tried. It shows you've invested something in the question and avoid having people tell you what you already know.

That's fine. But if you were asking me questions, and insisted on top-posting, I'd refuse to respond any further. I'm taking my own time to help here, and it is in the poster's interest to make things easy. To put it another way, _not_ top posting is a "necessary accommodation". And I didn't ask for bottom posting either. Posts should be trimmed to the minimum needed for context and responses should be included inline as required. I won't impose that "preference" (sorry, it's not "personal", it's been an issue of netiquette since the beginning of Usenet) on anybody, I just retain the right to communicate only with people who behave. -- derek From billy at silverbaseball.com Tue Sep 19 15:21:49 2006 From: billy at silverbaseball.com (Billy Pollifrone) Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2006 11:21:49 -0400 Subject: Kimdaba and USB mass storage In-Reply-To: <91d218430609190404p61952b00n9c40d687b1fe6efd@mail.gmail.com> References: <91d218430609180713s10bb043cy95740255145114a@mail.gmail.com> <200609181926.54015.lists@wordit.com> <91d218430609190404p61952b00n9c40d687b1fe6efd@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <6c889d120609190821n3b9c2f28vd440c5aeb7906187@mail.gmail.com> On 9/19/06, Jose Gomez-Dans wrote: > The camera works fine as an USB storage.

You have to run xhost as the user currently logged in X (not even root has access to it). But you should specify the host being permitted, as xhost offers some protection for X in a networked environment, by automatically blocking untrusted connections. Try xhost + localhost, or xhost + timmy, or the correct hostname and stick with Note that this is all obsolete when you are running gui programs in a remote host, because SSH can automatically forward the X connection, taking care of everything, but it appears not to be your case. regards FF From o.sinclair at gmail.com Wed Sep 20 05:05:27 2006 From: o.sinclair at gmail.com (O.

OK I changed DefaultDepth to 24 and what do I get on startup.. 1024*768! As maximum resolution. I then changed the "Modes" line in this section to read; > Modes "1400x1050_60" "1400X1050" and am now back to... 1280 * 1024. So am afraid it did not help at all. > Any ideas are appreciated.

Well Derek , if you google around for Dell Inspiron 500m and Linux it won't take you long to find 915resolution mentioned as the working way to get native resolution working on this screen so not very surprising. And if anyone knows how to get it working I am willing to listen. Any ideas from you Derek I am willing to try however. I will now be off internet until Friday evening or Saturday morning though so you won't hear from me for a while. cheers, Sinclair -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But you must return ASAP to a more secure configuration.

I do not know where gconf saves this data, but with the program "gnome-keyboard-properties" (hit ALT+F2 then enter gnome-keyboard-properties) on the tap Layout options, there you can define the key mapped to compose easily. e.g. i have mapped my compose key to caps lock which i usually never use.

That's easy to do in KDE too (and this is, after all, a KDE reflector :-) ). There's an item in the Keyboard Layout configuration dialogue under Regional and Accessibility that sllows you to set the Compose key to be things like right-ctrl (which is what I use). A quite lengthy search to discover where the compose key mappings are held, however, has come up empty. Considering that it's such a useful and powerful capability, its documentation seems to be remarkably obscure.

My firewall box, which has an older cups, has a client.conf file, but I note the kubuntu version doesn't.

Since it's a broken package rather than a missing one then the above commands don't really address the problem. sudo apt-get install -f might fix it. However it looks like until the fixed package is release you might have to remove it. ie sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree. You could try installing the tar.gz from the adobe website instead though.

There seems to be a lot of forums but not many newsgroups for Ubuntu and its variations (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.). I am hoping to get some assistance in fixing the problems I have been having with my mp3 player - Rio Cali. So far I have gotten my system to recognize my Rio as a usb device and have been able to mount it without any problems. I can read from it but I cannot write to it. A basic web search led me to believe that I don't have the right permissions for my drive. But unfortunately, I am very new to Linux (and Ubuntu) and cant make any sense out of the instructions on some of the websites. I would like to be able to write to my Rio as a user (without requiring to be the root user every time). I would greatly appreciate a response which contains step-by-step instructions on the fix. My operating system is Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) and I am using KDE as my desktop. Thanks in advance. Funkid PS: My eventual goal is to be able to connect to my Rio using amaroK and sync up my songs just like I used to do with my Rio and windows media player (WMP). At the moment I am unable to and I suspect it is because I do no have the right permissions (as a user) to access the Rio from amaroK.

Dose a window pop-up asking you what to do with it, or do you mount it from the command line. If you want to mount it so you can write to it you can use the command "pmount", e.g. user at ubuntu:~$ pmount /dev/sdaN rio "/dev/sdaN" is the name linux gives the device and the partition numbr, the "rio" is what you want the label you want to give it. You can look at the output of "dmesg|tail" after you insert the device to see the name.

I decided to do a upgrade for KDE, i used sudo apt-get dist-update After rebooting, i whas running KDE 3.5.4 However, seems i can no longer access my external hard disk. This disk is 200GB and NTFS formatted. Under Ubuntu and Kubuntu (with KDE 3.5.2) i could perfectly read and copie files from this HDD. After upgrading to KDE 3.5.4 the disks shows a lock, and i can't read from it. Any idea whats wrong here?

I use showimg which is in the repository. It is more or less like fspot, but can handle movies as well as pictures. It has tagging features like you want, though I've never used them.

Anatomy of a kernel: linux-image-2.6.15-27-amd64-k8 linux-image == linux kernel 2.6.15 == major, minor, minor version -27 == build -amd64 == architecture (for mine, amd64) -k8 == processor (AMD K8, which is Athlon64, Athlon64 FX) You'll want one which has the smp option, which is for multiple processors or multiple cores. If you can't find a amd64-k8 smp, then go for a generic i386 with smp support. -- http://lordsauronthegreat.googlepages.com/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

This would/should work though you will have all the gnome stuff installed too. Make sure you use sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop though won't you. The other thing to try first is doing a server install, this will not install any xserver stuff but the above command once running will do that for you. I'd sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade after enabling the universe and multiverse repos as well and the backports ones.

I am currently DLing the ¨alternate¨. I´m going to attempt a dual-boot with my current FC5 installation.

There's one problem in sharing a home directory between fedora and kubuntu - fedora start the userid and groupid numbering at 500, whereas kubuntu starts at 1000. Provided you have your home directory on a seperate partition you can solve this by creating another user during kubuntu install. Example: Fedora user tony Kubuntu install user tony-install This will create a /home/tony-install directory in addition to the existing /home/tony. Login to your new kubuntu installation as tony-install and create a new user "tony" in System Settings/System Administration/Users & Groups. Remember to create this user with the userid and groupid from fedora, usually 501. "ls -l" shows the user/group id. Finally either run the command "usermod -G admin tony" or add tony to the /etc/sudoers file. Now you can login as tony and start enjoying the kubuntu goodnes.... :) Hope this helps, otherwise let us know.

I was tired of the lock file problem. I've used Synaptic to do a package update and installed about 20 packages but Synaptic is crashing when trying to install ddclient 3.6.2-6ubuntu1. Every other install has gone smoothly. Synaptic stalls completely at the Applying Changes - Installing Software window and the process has to be killed - the window does not respond in any way. After the first crash while installing a bunch of packages, I restarted Synaptic and started installing the packages one at a time. It crashes every time I try to install ddclient. My source.list file is basically the plain vanilla file without multiverse. Any idea why this is happening? Could someone try to install ddclient and see if _theirs_ crashes also? Thank you.

The livecd should start. When running the livecd, on the KDE desktop you will find a 'Install' icon in the upper left corner.

Anyone has any experience with that? [cut] That makes sense.They should coexist just fine. Your menus (kmenu and gnome programs menu) will probably be a bit messy since most applications from both Kubuntu and Ubuntu will be there. Apart from that, it should work just fine. In synaptic search for and install the 'kubuntu-desktop' package. That package will install everything you need to get a full Kubuntu desktop system. NOTE: During install you will be asked if you want GDM or KDM to be your default login manager. It doesn't really matter what you choose, you can login to KDE from GDM and Gnome from KDM and vice versa. It's just a matter of taste. Now you will be able to select what session to login to, from the login manager menu. - Frode From hichamlinux at gmail.com Sun Sep 24 09:45:55 2006 From: hichamlinux at gmail.com (hicham) Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2006 09:45:55 +0000 Subject: kubuntu dapper live cd install In-Reply-To: References: <309547d30609230810u4e31d847icb5131170d1e779a@mail.gmail.com> <309547d30609240019l988c5dciabcbb80f316d0331@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <309547d30609240245j45affa00nf3eaeb222e74197b@mail.gmail.com> the kubuntu i've burned is a "kubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-amd64.iso" may be it's the X server that doesn't get started to show me the "install icon". getting another iso will take me days : ( thanks anyway From gabpaul at melbpc.org.au Sun Sep 24 11:07:02 2006 From: gabpaul at melbpc.org.au (gabrielle harrison and Paul van den Bergen) Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2006 21:07:02 +1000 Subject: Opera - unmet dependancies Message-ID: Hi all, so, this is what I get... # apt-get -f install opera Reading package lists...

That's the beauty of Linux, and especially Debian based distros. The apt package manager will find and download the dependencies for you. Also if you want KDE 3.5.4 add this to your sources.list file (under /etc/apt) either through editing the file directly or using adept / synaptic: # This will get you the things you need to play dvds: deb http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/ dapper free non-free deb-src http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/ dapper free non-free # This will get you the latest version of KDE: deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest/ dapper main deb-src http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest/ dapper main # NOTE: replace the /kde-latest/ with /kde-354/ if you want to make sure you # don't get an updated version before you wanted it. # This will get you the latest version of amarok: deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/amarok-latest/ dapper main Save the file, and do a "sudo apt-get update" and it'll point you to the new stuff. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! http://risenbooks.com Christian bookstore From funkid_20910 at hotpop.com Sun Sep 24 13:08:23 2006 From: funkid_20910 at hotpop.com (Fun Kid) Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2006 09:08:23 -0400 Subject: gnome or kde?

I had some experience working with the KDE desktop environment, so I installed KDE-desktop using Synaptic Package Manager. Currently, I have both desktop environments (Xfce and KDE) on my ubuntu (Draper Drake) and everything seems to be working fine. At startup I get the option of choosing the environment and I pick KDE. It seems like the Synaptic Package Manager took care of everything that needed to be installed for using the KDE desktop environment. Command line installation may or may not require additional steps. Hope this helps.

I suggest to: $ sudo aptitude purge opera $ sudo aptitude install libqt3-mt opera This should tell you, that it´s going to remove "libqt3c102-mt".

Anyone has any experience with that? I'm running Kubuntu, and I agree with you about the flexibility of KDE versus Gnome (it's why I switched from Fedora Core to Kubuntu; KDE support in Fedora Core was grudging at best). Having said that, there are some Gnome applications that I prefer to use over their KDE counterparts; the GIMP is easier for me to use than Krita, for example, and I use GRAMPS for genealogy work, and I believe that both Firefox and OpenOffice.org are built with Gnome components rather than KDE components. I've found that as long as the Gnome libraries are installed (such as GTK), then the programs run fine within KDE. And, of course, with Adept or apt-get, if you choose to install a Gnome package within KDE, all of the dependencies which are required will be downloaded and installed at the same time. I don't have the gnome desktop installed, but I've had systems in the past which had both installed, and never encountered any problems. Hope that helps. -- Richard S.

Is the one i found a 32 bit kernel (i386)? It most likely is. However, if you're using a Athlon64, you'll be wanting the k8 kernel. The k7 is for the Athlon XP processors, though I'm not sure about that. I know that the k6 is for Athlon1400's and Durons like my server, but I could be wrong. You'll most likely need to install a generic kernel, since installing a 64-bit kernel with everything else 32 bit can cause problems. -- http://lordsauronthegreat.googlepages.com/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I am trying to make a dual boot with FC5 and Kubunut 6.06.1 I installed FC 5 first on hda1, and it was good. then installed Kubunut on hda2, booted into kubu, and all seemed good, too. But then, attempt to reboot did not give me access to Fedora. So I edited /grug/menu.lst, and attempted to reboot, found the fedora entry and tried to boot it, and got a kernel panic. So I reinstalled the FC5, and, looked good, again (oddly, it seems to have just repaired the previous install, because what little data I had on the drive, and settings like wallpaper, were still in place) ...But now I can´t boot kubuntu... Grub only has an empty entry for Kubu (no kernel and init paramanters, etc). So I mounted the kubu partition, cd-ed to /boot therein, and find nothing in there. It appears that when installing Fedora, it hosed the /boot of the kubu install when I told grub to include kubu. What do I have to do to get these two to play nice? tony -- http://www.baldwinlinguas.com Translating & Interpreting English, Français, Português & Español From binary_y2k2 at blueyonder.co.uk Sun Sep 24 20:46:03 2006 From: binary_y2k2 at blueyonder.co.uk (Tez) Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2006 21:46:03 +0100 Subject: unable to write to usb mp3 player - how to change permissions for a device In-Reply-To: References: <4513C507.8040801@blueyonder.co.uk> Message-ID: <4516EE8B.9000301@blueyonder.co.uk> Fun Kid wrote: > Tez, > > Thank you for the quick response.

As you would guess I'm fairly new to linux in general, but I have been playing around with Knoppix and Kubuntu for about a year. I've got Kubuntu installed on an old G3 Powerbook, and it works great apart from the fact that I never could get Flash to work in Firefox. On the big machine, AMD64 processor, I had Kubuntu 64 running for a while but also found too many problems with software and drivers etc. so that I resorted to Ubuntu gnome just out of interest. It certainly seems to be targeted to Windows converts and for them it's fantastic. But I enjoyed customising every desktop individually on KDE and also like lots of the KDE applications. But gnome has a few very nice features as well and I'm torn apart on what to use in the future ..grinn ... I'll probably stick to Kubuntu on the laptop and Ubuntu on the big one. But it's nice to know that it's no big deal to run both there as well. So thanks again all. By the way, this list is amazing !!!!!!

More likely a permissions issue. I had similar trouble with a FAT32 drive. Change your /etc/fstab to something like: /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 auto rw,user,uid=1000 0 0 This should mount the drive with you as owner and the plugdev group on Kubuntu.

FWIW, AMD make dual core AMD64 CPUs not "Core" or "Core2" CPUs. The latter being an Intel trade mark for their new line of processors to replace the Pentium/Centrino & Xeon processors. Whilst Intel's departing processor line share a lot of compatibility with their new Core/Core2 architecture, the new processors support a whole bunch of new stuff and consume a lot less power. Not trying to nit-pick, just trying to clarify so confusion doesn't invade with people wondering what the hell kinda system you're running :) > Would it be a good idea to install the 2.6.18 version to solve my > wireless connection problems caused by that thing called bcm4318? > Can i trust in the official ubuntu wikis, helps...to compile and > install > the proper kernel? bcm4318 you say? That's a Broadcom right? I think you'll get better mileage from stock kernel with ndis wrapper. Broadcom chipsets are very poorly supported under Linux (Broadcom wont release the necessary details to write open-source drivers, and don't release a Linux binary driver). That's why whenever friends are buying laptops and want wireless under Linux, I typically recommend either the Intel ProWireless cards or an Atheros chipset - both are very well supported under Linux. If your laptop uses a mini-PCI slot for wireless, you can probably swap out the Broadcom for an Intel. The Intel ProWireless 2200BG cards go for around USD$30-50 on eBay. The ProWireless 3195ABG is a good option if you need tri-band support. > Any comment is welcomed.

However, as nothing seemed to work I "gave up" and downloaded 915resolution, under Dapper that is an official package actually. With the help of a guide at Ubuntu Forums I managed to get my desired resolution of 1400 * 1050. Once again, thanks for time and efforts, Sinclair On 19/09/06, Derek Broughton wrote: > > O.

However, I now have made a small amount of progress. It seems the default kubuntu install does not install a /etc/cups/client.conf file, which needs only to specify ServerName. I've now generated that file, and an 'lpstat -d -p' now returns: ========== root at shop:~# lpstat -d -p system default destination: lp2 printer lp0 is idle. enabled since Wed 31 Dec 1969 07:00:00 PM EST printer lp1 is idle. enabled since Wed 31 Dec 1969 07:00:00 PM EST printer lp2 is idle. enabled since Wed 31 Dec 1969 07:00:00 PM EST Sending print file, 302093 bytes... printer lp3 is idle. enabled since Wed 31 Dec 1969 07:00:00 PM EST ========== However, they are not visible or usable to cups and friends. Having tried to add a printer, cups does seem to be accessing the named server, but as it logs the scanning of its available ppd's, the log suddenly stops before reaching the desired ppd file, like this: D [25/Sep/2006:08:05:58 -0400] [CGI] Skip first part...

You should then be able to connect. Note that if "noauth" is uncommented, a setting of "noauth" in /etc/ppp/options will conflict with KPPP. Note also that uncommenting "noauth" opens the possibility that other malicious members of the "dip" group might potentially abuse the ppp daemon. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Have you already tried doing this? - Urtzi - -- Urtzi Jauregi Fakulteta za Matematiko in Fiziko, Univerza v Ljubljani Jadranska 19, Si-1000 Ljubljana Slovenija Tel: ++386 01 540 13 53 e-mail: urtzi at fmf.uni-lj.si From werner at hoernerfranzracing.de Mon Sep 25 13:30:11 2006 From: werner at hoernerfranzracing.de (Werner Joss) Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 15:30:11 +0200 Subject: smartlink modem returns...

That's a Broadcom right? I think you'll get better mileage from stock kernel with ndis wrapper. Broadcom chipsets are very poorly supported under Linux (Broadcom wont release the necessary details to write open-source drivers, and don't release a Linux binary driver). That's why whenever friends are buying laptops and want wireless under Linux, I typically recommend either the Intel ProWireless cards or an Atheros chipset - both are very well supported under Linux. If your laptop uses a mini-PCI slot for wireless, you can probably swap out the Broadcom for an Intel. The Intel ProWireless 2200BG cards go for around USD$30-50 on eBay. The ProWireless 3195ABG is a good option if you need tri-band support. Hope it helps.

As for the "AMD Core2" piece of text of the subject, well i wanted to stress the main point of my message: how to get the two cores run in a 32 bit installation. That is why i didn't type it in the subject, but did it in the message. For more information, actually i have a AMD Turion 64x2, but as i read that linux kernels for Athlon can be used for Turion because AMD did not change so many things with Turion..., i thought i could avoid even mentioning it. Following Lord Sauron's, i installed in one hard drive partition linux-image-2.6.15-27-k7 of kubuntu dapper, so if i am not wrong i have the 32 bit version for amd dual core of the distribution. And it is working fine. Nevertheless I am working usually with statistical packages and i would like to test the speed of the 64 bit processor. I would like to do this without entering the world of 64 bit (chroot, linux32 things), so i suppose i can install the 64 bit version of kubuntu dapper in another partition. The point if that i don't know which one is better -linux-image-2.6.15-27-amd64-generic -linux-image-2.6.15-27-amd64-k8 (finally today i could find this one, the k8, in the kubuntu repository) From tilleyrw at cfl.rr.com Mon Sep 25 15:06:21 2006 From: tilleyrw at cfl.rr.com (Robert Tilley) Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 11:06:21 -0400 Subject: Memory stick won't mount -- Kubuntu 6.06.1 Message-ID: <200609251106.22376.tilleyrw@cfl.rr.com> After plugging my memory stick into a USB port on a Kubuntu 6.06.1 box, the drive appears on the desktop.

That way it will be handled as a removable device and the user mounting it will get read and write permissions. If you really want to use fstab entries this is my suggestion: You have multiple removable USB devices and want them mounted to separate mount-points in /media. You can use the symlinks generated by udev, in /dev/disk/by-id/ instead of for example. /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 and so on.

The thread is related to buying a card, not polling info from a card you have. I'm sure I wrote this, but if I was not clear about it, the problem is finding a card on the market with a supported chipset (Atheros, Intel, Prism...). Manufacturers do not usually publish the info, neither do vendors. Often people may recommend a model, which is no longer on the market or not in the region you live. So by chipset is really the only way to go in finding a Wifi card.

How are you accessing it if from a runbox ie alt-F2 or the run command from the menu then you need to put kdesu adept. If you are running it from the menu then check that the command is as above and that the run as different user box is ticked.

Thanks for helping me figure this out. > Fun Kid > > "chmod: changing permissions of `/media/rio/': Read-only file system" This tells me something, it seems that the file system is mounted as read-only for some reason, no wonder you can't write to it. Unmount the device with "pumount [device]" and try remounting it with the "-w" flag to pmount: "pmount -w /dev/sda1 rio" and then check that it's mounted read/write with "mount|grep rio" you should see something like "/dev/sda1 on /media/rio type vfat (rw)" as long as you see "rw" somewhere then you should be able to write to it. As a last resort you can try mounting it like: "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/rio -o uid=user,gid=user" change uid=user and gid=user to match your username, you should then be able to write to it.

I'd like to support those manufacturers who support Open Source drivers. I think voting with our feet, or wallets, is a viable option to get more manufacturers to support Linux. Here's what I did: 1) First attempt: I found some Trendware cards locally then phoned their support hotline about the chipsets, which is also open 24/7 from Europe. They had all the answers prepared, so I was impressed, even had some unsupported Linux info ready for me. However, I could not find the PCMCIA card with the Atheros chipset to purchase. The only option was a Wifi USB stick with Atheros. I'm not too sure about USB Wifi working? Their Broadcom card they said had been reported to work under Linux, but I smelled ndiswrapper when hearing Broadcom, not sure if that is still correct? 2) Next I searched ebay for "Atheros", and that oddly led to success. Found a vendor selling Atheros cards by TP-Link for under 18 Euros (~$22). Then Googled to check and an Ubuntu forum revealed that the card works with Ubuntu and supports WPA encryption. The various Atheros cards reported to work under Linux are listed here: http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility I hope this helps somebody on their quest for a Linux Wifi card.

Nothing seemed to work for me until I found a website which gave step-by-step instructions for partitioning and formatting usb flash drives. http://linuxactivist.blogspot.com/2006/08/linux-tip-resurrecting-broken-usb.html Partitioning and formatting worked for me. My only concern is that I had to format my usb drive in FAT16. I couldn't format it in FAT 32 and I don't know if I can use this usb drive with my windows machine anymore. If not, it is not a big deal for me because all my music is in the linux machine anyways. Thanks again.

I take it that this is the problem. How would the friends see the printers? Through samba, possibly? In that case, you would need to configure samba to share the printers and allow them to be visible and usable to others. And you are saying that these printers are not visible to cups???? Have you configured cups to use them? You can't use localhost:631 to configure them, as Ubuntu still hasn't figured out how to configure the cups interface to deal with the curveball of no root user. You can, however, use the printer GUI that Ubuntu or KDE comes with. Check out System Settings/Printers, and set the administrator mode at the bottom of the interface (Its off my non-LCD screen at the bottom right). If that does not answer, or partially answer your questions, then give us more detail about what you are doing.

Windows should still be able to read FAT16, it's one of the only file systems that windows can read (FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS), so I don't see a problem there. I'm glad you got everything working now.

No samba involved I hope, it has a habit of breaking things vis-a-vis printers. I do have samba shares setup, but not for any printers. The lpstat output you saw, came from a cups supplied cli utility, its part of the base 'cupsys' install AFAIK. >And you are saying that these printers are not visible to cups???? No, apparently they are, but not to the web page at localhost:631. But that doesn't make sense either, as I can ssh into it as gene, that same user who's running x, and an lpstat -d -p returns: gene at shop:~$ lpstat -d -p system default destination: lp2 printer lp0 is idle. enabled since Wed 31 Dec 1969 07:00:00 PM EST printer lp1 is idle. enabled since Wed 31 Dec 1969 07:00:00 PM EST printer lp2 is idle. enabled since Wed 31 Dec 1969 07:00:00 PM EST Sending print file, 309206 bytes... printer lp3 is idle. enabled since Wed 31 Dec 1969 07:00:00 PM EST gene at shop:~$ firefox which starts and runs, but still cannot see the printers at the localhost address. There is also a rather humongous amount of failure messages spit out to the cli, probably related to exporting x, but firefox itself seems to run ok. >Have you configured cups to use them? You can't use localhost:631 to > configure them, as Ubuntu still hasn't figured out how to configure the > cups interface to deal with the curveball of no root user. Thats a no brainer, just set a password for root and use it. (sudo passwd) Or is that the reason it doesn't work even when I run firefox or mozilla as root?, the x environment running is as a normal user and being exported to me isn't a root environment even though I am ssh'd into the box as root? >You can, however, use the printer GUI that Ubuntu or KDE comes with. > Check out System Settings/Printers, and set the administrator mode at > the bottom of the interface (Its off my non-LCD screen at the bottom > right). Humm, I'd have to go out to the machine to do that, and X isn't running as root on that machine. Although I could quit it, become root and restart it I guess. Also, its well known that at least the fedora version of system-config-printer is broken beyond all hope of salvage, so we tell folks on that list to please use the web interface instead. >If that does not answer, or partially answer your questions, then give us > more detail about what you are doing. I'm trying to run mozilla or firefox from a remote shell (ssh) as root, and configure this. And it turns out that root at least, can print across the network. And I'd assume a normal user can print too, see the lpstat output above when ssh'd in as gene. So I'd assume gene can print too. >Rob > >-- >Mountlake Terrace, WA -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Correct. However, you don't run wine like you normally would to run Picasa. You don't have to envoke wine at all as the linux Picasa is built with wine support by default. Much different than actually running wine to run a program, specifically Picasa. Gwenview is not near Picasa (no offense meant) and when I try to figure > digikam out (without downloading that is) I can't figure out it's > features. I don't use either app, only know about them so I don't know what features one has over the other to be honest.

While I have some success, its very buggy, plays some and wont play some that it once did. Also have to change configuration from the mplayerplug-in window back and forth from "use HTTP instead of RTSP" and "connect to RTSP using TCP" to get AP, ABC(plays sometimes), Today, Reuters, MarketWatch to play but now even that doesn't work since upgrading once which took out one file needed to compile mplayerplug-in(which I reinstalled with no effect). You can essentially say that mplayerplug-in-3.31 is broke and not playing embedded videos. I filed a bug report against mozilla-mplayer-3.17 and today got an email from caroline.ford.work at googlemail.com saying it was a duplicate and that there was a fix-- 3.17 is an old version. Only there was not reference to the fix. I now have mozilla-mplayer-3.25 in my apt cache and I suppose she may be refering to this version. My questions are: Has anyone used mozilla-mplayer-3.25 to successfully play embedded news videos on yahoo linked to AP, ABC, Today, Reuters, MarketWatch news videos. If the 3.25 version is a solution, how do I remove mplayerplug-in-3.31(compiled) which doesn't show up in aptitude show . This was my first compile and Rune Baggetun from mplayerplug-in-devel user list held my hand while compiling and got me through the errors encountered. This is a long standing and very frustrating issue with me. Would appreciate any reports of success using mozilla-mplayer-3.25 to play the above videos and any configuration tricks used.

I can't imagine a case where "hibernate" _should_ invoke "shutdown" scripts (and "echo 1 > /sys..." implies _sleep_, not hibernate, which imo should be doing very little at all), but if you mean that there are scripts that you want to have run before and after hibernation, you can do that. See /etc/powersave/sleep and SERVICES_TO_RESTART. I've found no real use for that either - what I do frequently need is for a service like samba to restart because my network's on another interface after resume, but that should be handled from your networking scripts (and is), not powersave. -- derek From lists at wordit.com Wed Sep 27 18:50:02 2006 From: lists at wordit.com (marcus) Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 20:50:02 +0200 Subject: Klaptop or Kpowersave In-Reply-To: <00nqu3-53c.ln1@news.pointerstop.ca> References: <200609271635.47447.joantur@cancullet.org> <00nqu3-53c.ln1@news.pointerstop.ca> Message-ID: <200609272050.02933.lists@wordit.com> Can anyone help with suspend/hibernate on an old T-series Thinkpad?

Well, AFAIK Ubuntu handles the suspend, resume, etc behaviours through /etc/default/acpi-support, and there's where I've set what services to stop, then restart, what modules to unload prior to suspend... what I meant is that Ubuntu could/should modify kpowersave to "read" the settings from that file instead of having to manually reconfigure that again.

Actually, you /can/ use it, but it requires some non-standard settings. The quick-start guide is: ] sudo adduser cupsys shadow ] sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys stop ] sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys start Now, go for your life with the local HTML administrative tools. Use a local user login that is a member of lpadmin, of course. You should also be aware that you just gave the cupsys code the rights to check passwords for everyone, which in turn means that it is a potentially remotely exploitable path to guessing your passwords. > Why the Ubuntu folks have decided to break some of the better things > about certain linux programs, I have no idea.

Security, in this case, in that it radically reduces the number of pieces of software that handle data from arbitrary local (or remote) users, and which have access to the password database. Also, convenience, because the HTML interface isn't a nice way to administer the CUPS system compared to the GUI tools, for most users.

All printers are visible. But an su gene fails to run kcontrol, so I log out, and have to kill the shell as the exit suddenly isn't clean, start a new shell and ssh in as gene, and then I have to add them one at a time using kcontrol. And the last one, lp3 which is the gold standard settings at 1440x for this printer, ahh, after about 3 minutes it fires up. This is slow, but then so is this mode at about 10 minutes per page, or more, depending on the busyness of the pix. The test pages aren't so busy as to be just normal for that resolution. It seems to me that doing it this way was the long way around the bush and I should have brought lunch. There should have been (IMO) a single set the server screen which when set, automaticly finds the printers at that server. The root user, because I had already setup an /etc/cups/client.conf, found them with no problem at all. Humm, does this mean I should have setup a client.conf someplace in /home/gene/Desktop/.cups?

Which is fine with me, its *all* behind a firewall thats behind a router, and 3 attempts have made it as far as the log on the firewall box as portsentry shut them down dead in the last 3.5 years. 2 got in that far because they were known addresses as they were the vz assigned dns servers I use. A nastygram to vz once I'd figured out why I didn't have a dns caused a 4 hour shutdown while they re-imaged their *&% windows boxes each time. The last time was some jerk in hangchow.

I'll mildly disagree with that, having been using it for several years on redhatish systems. I could have done that with the web server in 1/4 to 1/2 the time it took kcontrol. And when its importing lp2 (etc) from a server on the network, it should assume the drivers are properly configured on the server, and automaticly just ship the raw file over the cat5. I wasted some time on that too... But the bottom line is that its working & thats the important thing.

Could it be that you the mount-point is within the space you copy with cp -a? If so this would result in copying also everything within this mount-point - not ending (because you are filling this mount point constantly) - unless the space is totally filled. This happened to me too some time ago. If you have the mount-point outside the area you are copying to this point, there should be no problem.

Bug #48395: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15/+bug/48395 I've had this problem on my Inspiron 6400, with the same card. When this does happen, which is rarely (thrice now in a 5 month period), I either kill the process or restart in order to regain a workable wireless capability. The bug is yet unconfirmed though. :( -Pascal -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I tend to agree, but unfortunately the powersave people know nothing about the acpi-support or hibernate packages (they're really SuSE folks, iirc), so I've completely removed that package and made changes in /etc/powersave/ to match the changes I previously had in /etc/acpi.

Please pardon me for not responding to this in you original post. However, it was done with the rpm to deb install of mozilla-mplayer-3.30 but no joy. The rpm to deb conversion via wajig didn't even call up the mplayerplug-ins, only a blank screen. I have since purged it and installed the cvs version of mplayerplug-in-3.31 with some small success. The adds play but not the selected videos. Although, at one point it looked like they would play but it was shortlived and the only thing that I did was to do an upgrade. See my latest post on the subject: Mozilla-Mplayer-3.25 Question, for the latest on the issue.

Fish is not ftp. It starts a distant session via ssh on the machine. It is not useful for file transfer only, because sftp (secure ftp) uses ssh aswell, but is faster since it doesn't start a whole ssh session on the distant machine. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raphaël Pinson - raphink at ichthux.com http://www.raphink.info Ichthux - http://www.ichthux.com - Linux for Christians -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Absolutely - but that's the point. Why use an FTP client when you can use konqueror and get all sorts of other remote file browsers. smb:// is an option, too.

SFTP works on Ubuntu servers if you install SSH. FTP sends passwords in the clear. Fish drops a little PERL script on the distant end to aacomplish file transfers. It will try to transfer files in parallel rather than in series when transferring multiple files. This can be very inefficient. It also creates a fork for each file. Before I understood all this I once DOSed myself by inadvertently created a fork bomb by trying to copy a big maildir folder. Konq is very good for all these, but use SFTP if you can.

Do you have a firewall installed somewhere? If you do, and you control the firewall, you may need to allow connections on port 6667 for TCP. (Some firewall user interfaces require that you also specify the application). If you haven't installed a firewall youself, the port may be blocked by your ISP, or you may have a router which does not forward the 6667 port to your computer.

I would also try different ports and different servers. chat.freenode.netyou should use port 8001 and the rest you could try using 6667, 6668, 6669, 7000 and see if you can get in that way. -- 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...

Not definitive answer, but for what I know the main difference for backward compatibility is that 2.0 ports usually give higher power levels (the hard drive needs external power on some 1.1 ports, not all of them).

While I have some success, its very buggy, plays some and wont play some that it once did. Also have to change configuration from the mplayerplug-in window back and forth from "use HTTP instead of RTSP" and "connect to RTSP using TCP" to get AP, ABC(plays sometimes), Today, Reuters, MarketWatch to play but now even that doesn't work since upgrading once which took out one file needed to compile mplayerplug-in(which I reinstalled with no effect). You can essentially say that mplayerplug-in-3.31 is broke and not playing embedded videos. I filed a bug report against mozilla-mplayer-3.17 and today got an email from caroline.ford.work at googlemail.com saying it was a duplicate and that there was a fix-- 3.17 is an old version. Only there was not reference to the fix. I now have mozilla-mplayer-3.25 in my apt cache and I suppose she may be refering to this version. My questions are: Has anyone used mozilla-mplayer-3.25 to successfully play embedded news videos on yahoo linked to AP, ABC, Today, Reuters, MarketWatch news videos. If the 3.25 version is a solution, how do I remove mplayerplug-in-3.31(compiled) which doesn't show up in aptitude show . This was my first compile and Rune Baggetun from mplayerplug-in-devel user list held my hand while compiling and got me through the errors encountered. This is a long standing and very frustrating issue with me. Would appreciate any reports of success using mozilla-mplayer-3.25 to play the above videos and any configuration tricks used.

It's also not UFT-8 compliant, so it's pretty useless in my opinion. I usea and recommend F-spot: http://f-spot.org/ It's a GTK app, but it really can't be beat for tagging, makeing photo albums, etc. As far as editing goes, however, it's still pretty green.

Even more automatic is to filter the mail from the different accounts into separate folders and then in each folder you can set the folder properties to use the correct identity when replying. It's completely automatic then.

This is a quote from: http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/FAQs/ext3-faq.html [quote] Q: How can I recover (undelete) deleted files from my ext3 partition? Actually, you can't! This is what one of the developers, Andreas Dilger, said about it: In order to ensure that ext3 can safely resume an unlink after a crash, it actually zeros out the block pointers in the inode, whereas ext2 just marks these blocks as unused in the block bitmaps and marks the inode as "deleted" and leaves the block pointers alone. Your only hope is to "grep" for parts of your files that have been deleted and hope for the best.

My workaround is to boot using rescue mode, run "startx" as root, log out of X, then press Ctrl-D and continue booting as normal into X as my user. What is startx (*not* startkde), run as root, doing to rectify the problem? Note, the actual xorg file remains unchanged. So I'm baffled, and it's totally annoying.

Gwenview is a great photo browser, and if you also install kipi-plugins, it can do some editing, rotating, and album exporting (html, upload to flikr, etc) digikam, and digikam plugins is another good Photo management tool. If you have a supported camera,downloading your pictures to is an option that is displayed when you plug the camera in. It is very mature and has a ton o features. I use gwenview mostly as i don't make albums often, and prefer its browsing capabilities,as that is its strongest suit. -- Clay Weber http://claydoh.com http://emacdogsports.com From claydoh at claydoh.com Sat Sep 30 17:09:49 2006 From: claydoh at claydoh.com (claydoh) Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2006 13:09:49 -0400 Subject: Recovering deleted files In-Reply-To: <880dece00609300920i4fa2850ma8f3d365c419a54d@mail.gmail.com> References: <880dece00609300920i4fa2850ma8f3d365c419a54d@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <200609301309.49697.claydoh@claydoh.com> On Saturday 30 September 2006 12:20 pm, Dotan Cohen wrote: > I'm not sure what I did, but all the files in my > /home/dotancohen/Photos directory are gone.

BUT I have had some success once using a set of tools called testdisk to recover *some* images from a hard drive: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/admin/testdisk It contains a tool called photorec that is used specifically to recover image files.

Well, it _did_ do the job, and then ten minutes later the photos were gone again. I rebooted and ran the program again- it says that it finds ~4000 files (that's about right), and when I exit and open Konqi they are not there. I don't know why, but I got a stupid idea to remount the partition to another mount point- and it worked... The pictures show up in the new mount point. I don't know why I thought of that, and I don't know why it worked. I just backed everything up, but I'd still like to know what could be the cause of the files disappearing. I'm a little uneasy with things now, lest I should lose more data.

A google later and I found that same quote, AHH. I was able to find 1 piece of software that says it can recover deleted files in Ext3 [1] but it only runs on windows (WTF, i know). So I have a PC with XP on it, that the not so smart people in my family use, so I installed the software on that. I took the HDD out of my linux PC and put it in to the windows one and it found some deleted files (150,368,562 to be exact), after a good 6 hour scan, but didn't show names, only inode numbers. I tryed to recover some, but I couldn't find the one I was after. I finally gave up, partly because it was looking less and less likely that I was going to find the file, but mostly because I was getting so sick of working on windows I was about to go for a sledge-hammer. If you do decide to try the software there are some things you need to know, 1. It's not free, it costs $79 2. It only runs on windows, and it has to be windows not wine 3. It's going to take hours; it took 6 on my 170GB HDD 4. There is no guaranty that you will recover all, if any, of the data. [1] http://www.stellarinfo.com/linux-data-recovery.htm Tez
