The thing about addon is that all domains (Main and addons) share the HD space and bandwidth. If those are not an issue for you then I would just use addons. Cheers!

That works fine except when the line spacing differences between MS Word and Open Office Writer cause a one page document to slop over to a second page. To overcome this problem I've downloaded and installed Microsoft's WordView to display .doc and .docx files using Wine. To convert them to .pdf files, I downloaded and installed cups-pdf so I can "print" .pdf files. "PDF" now appears as a printer in WordView running under Wine, but when I "print" to it, nothing shows up in Print Status. "PDF" also shows up in my other Windows apps and doesn't work either.

Since WinXP is already installed on it I'm thinking I could just have grub point to sdb1 to boot it.

In my case, I had an older drive, and after having to thoroughly wipe it--no partitions, no format, no nothing-- I installed XP. This was with that as an _only_ drive, set as master. (I had disconnected my Linux drive altogether.) XP worked perfectly, as I would have expected. Then I set the drive to slave, and put back my Linux drive, sda1. The XP drive would be sdb1. I booted into my Linux system, PCLINUXOS, and then edited /boot/grub/menu.lst (using sudo and the editor) to add the following after the Pclos boot stuff: title Windows XP Professional root (hd1,0) map (0x81) (0x80) map (0x80) (0x81) makeactive chainloader +1 save the file and reboot, and now the grub introductory screen comes up with the option to boot PCLINUXOS or Windows XP Professional, and if you select XP, that's what you get. (I just copied this off the file, so I know it's right.) Note: There is no space between the items in parentheses, lines 3 and 4. Since you're running Kubuntu, and presumably using KDE, just as Pclos is, I would expect this to work for you just as it does for me. PS: I had some help getting that going from a kind soul on the Pclos Forum. Whoever you were--I forget now--if you're reading this, thank you once again. BTW: If you want to add another Linux distro after XP, you can use GParted to make other partitions after XP, and then add whatever you like. The Grub gadget in Pclos, and probably in any other distro, will find the new Linux and add it after the XP entry--you don't have to do that by hand. (I decided to look at Zorin_4.) But just to be on the safe side, I would copy the file first as a backup. Hope that helps--doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A. M.

Can you explain a bit more what happens after entering the login password? Does the machine complain about a wrong password or does it start to login but then returns to the login screen? In the first case I would suggest to change the password from the command line [1] to something different and if you can then login, change it back to what you want it to be. However if the login screen simply returns without complaining about a wrong password, I would expect that the update went wrong for some reason. Then I would suggest that you select the rescue mode from the boot prompt and select the root shell option. Then issue these commands: dpkg --configure -a apt-get install -f If that doesn't help, please let us know about the result of the commands and possible error messages.

I have come to understand that it has been "replaced" but do not quite get why, once started, kded and klauncher is attached to it. I was looking for a way to logout of KDE from command line as the logout function has gone wacko on my new laptop... in short it does not work. Shutdown and reboot works (almost always) logout does not.

I just installed gparted and it seems it uses "gksu" to launch itself. Basically, that means it asks you for root's password, not your own. Since root doesn't have a password on a default install, nothing you enter will ever be accepted. Long story short, you either need to find out how to make gksu behave like sudo or just launch gparted from a command line ,have you any ideas? ray PS what mean change the login theme?

Mobile wireless broadband is not the same as wireless (although technically it is of course wireless). Wireless is used for WLAN connections but you are looking for the "Mobile Broadband" tab which shouldn't be greyed out if your adapter is found by the system.

I Cured the problem by removing knetworkmanager and installing WICD. This has happened at least ten times; now I automatically remove knetworkmanager and now everyone is as happy as a pig in slop. This has happened with Kubuntu 7.04, 7.10, 8.04, 9.10, 10.04 (I have been so happy with 10.04 I haven't bothered with anything beyond. They need ash can knetworkmanager in my opinion. Be sure you remove knetworkmanager because it doesn't get along with WICD - if fact it doesn't get along with itself. Here is how to do it - the easy way: 1. open a terminal, type: sudo apt-get install synaptic (it is a package manager - the best for all of the *buntu in my opinion 2. search for knetworkmanager (knm-runtime) and mark it for complete removal 3. search for WICD and mark it for installation 4. click "apply" 5. when it is finished doing its thing -- re-start 6. set up you wireless security WPA, WEP, etc. and you are good to go wired ethernet or wireless. I rarely work with wireless, but I can unplug my cat5 and walk 25 feet the wireless is working and the icon is changed for wired to wireless. Have fun with *buntu!

Is it listed in the settings for your systray as I mentioned earlier? If so, then simply check the box next to it. If not then you will need to do as Gil says and install plasma-widget-networkmanagement to get it back, and then go back and make sure the box is checked once it is there again. clay > regards > Paul > PS some users have suggested using wicd instead but I think I would prefer > to try and restore the kde way of doing things if possible. > I caused this but I can't figure out how. > > On Monday 14 Mar 2011 23:29:27 claydoh at claydoh.com wrote: > > >> On Monday, March 14, 2011 11:39:52 Paul Stear wrote: > > >>> Hi all, > > >>> I don't know what I have done to cause this but every time I boot the > > >>> system starts without connecting to the network. > > >>> If I run knetworkmanager in a konsole it starts as normal and I can > > >>> check > > >>> mail etc.. > > >>> How do I get the network to start automatically on boot up? > > >>> Thanks for any replies, > > >>> Paul > > > > First thing to check is to see if the network-management widget is just > > missing from the systray: > > > > right-click in the little arrow on the right side of your systray and go > > to the settings dialog, and make sure that Network Management is checked. > > > > It should look similar to this in layout: > > http://genek.net/LinuxAdventures/reviews/kdepics/kde3 > > > > Since it was running fine before, My best guess is that it is missing > > from the systray, therefore it isn't running (or rather the gui to use > > it isn't > > > > clay From linux at appjaws.plus.com Tue Mar 15 13:33:27 2011 From: linux at appjaws.plus.com (Paul Stear) Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2011 13:33:27 +0000 Subject: starting knetworkmanager In-Reply-To: <201103150751.49063.claydoh@claydoh.com> References: <201103140939.52268.linux@appjaws.plus.com> <201103151029.16098.linux@appjaws.plus.com> <201103150751.49063.claydoh@claydoh.com> Message-ID: <201103151333.27902.linux@appjaws.plus.com> Thanks to clay, Gil, o,Georgi, Jon and anybody else who replied, Well I now have everything working again, I had to install plasma-widget- networkmanagement to get it back, and then go make sure the box is checked in the systray. regards Paul -- This email has been sent using kmail on kubuntu From christer_wickman at telia.com Tue Mar 15 13:50:30 2011 From: christer_wickman at telia.com (christer_wickman at telia.com) Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2011 14:50:30 +0100 Subject: Problem when my KUbuntu computer starts Message-ID: <9ttkkapq8rqb1r4kimp8kyya.1300185384656@email.android.com> Hello Everybody I have a small problem when I start my computer.

I am using 10.10. I have been using both network-manager and wicd when I had problems. It seems to me, that now network-manager is working well. I have installed: network-manager, network-manager-gnome, network-manager-pptp all installed by itself during new installation. I have just been on a trip abroad, and everywhere my laptop connected well with various wireless routers.

Always tell us what version of Kubuntu and KDE you are using. This might be a bug that is fixed in a more recent version than the one you are using. You can disable Nepomuk and Strigi in 'System Settings -> Desktop Search'. Nepomuk is considered stable, but in reality it still causes a lot of crashes.

I cannot get a keyboard shortcut to work on 10.04 that I have used on previous Kubuntu installs. I'm trying to set the Pause key to open konsole.

I got this to work just fine in 10.10 so, I'm not 100% if it will work in 10.04 but give it a shot. Open the system settings and go to 'Shortcuts and Gestures'. Click on Custom Shorcuts Click KMenuEdit Go down to Edit and click new -> Global Shortcut -> KMenu Entry Set the name of the New Action Select the New Action Under the tab trigger you can set the keyboard shortcut Under the Action tab you can set the application to open. This works in 10.10 using the pause button to open Konsole. Cheers!

At installation of OS itself - when you manually select partition where to install OS to, there is an 'advanced' button - and you can select where grub is to be set. Note however, if you select /dev/sdaX instead of just /dev/sda, you may be unable to boot up to Kubuntu OS unless you have other means, like a bootcd, or another boot process from another installed OS etc; so be very careful if you do this. To burn to grub bootcd, as per my previous post, grub-mkrescue --output=anything.iso grub-mkrescue --output=grubo.iso /media/LABEL/boot/grub/grub.cfg Considering what you're trying to do, suggest you just make a plain grub boot cd first from your desktop, just to boot up your new kubuntu installation at your laptop. Then when your laptop is installed (with grub set to /dev/sdaX), then boot to laptop Kubuntu and make another grub boot cd with grub.cfg from that new installation. We can of course, just make one straight from the desktop, but I think it is preferable to have the grub.cfg include the uuid number as well as the windows of the laptop, and these will only be generated at the point of installation. Regards - Goh Lip Notes: [1] grub-mkrescue --output=grubo.iso /media/LABEL/boot/grub/grub.cfg can just be grub-mkrescue --output=grubo.iso /boot/grub/grub.cfg if the grub is at existing OS [2] If you like to do this, I'll provide a very simple grub.cfg and you can copy to your grub cd boot. of course amend the x's or delete the uuid part and replace with either label or /dev/sdax + (hd0,x) if you prefer. ### SETUP ### set root=(hd0,x) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx set default=0 set timeout=10 set menu_color_normal=white/blue set menu_color_highlight=yellow/blue menuentry "only ONE linux installed " { insmod ext2 search --set -f /boot/vmlinuz linux /vmlinuz root=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ro initrd /initrd.img } menuentry "Windows - sda1" { insmod ntfs set root='(hd0,1)' drivemap -s (hd0) ${root} chainloader +1 } ######## END ######## [3] you can boot grub using usb drives too, but need to be more careful with /dev/sda reversing with /dev/sdb or (hd0,x) with (hd1,x) -- Life is a sexually transmitted disease with a 100% mortality rate.

I use this method to boot PCLinuxOS on a laptop that has 64 bit Win7. Unplug the memory stick and Windows boots, with the memory stick in you Linux system will boot.

It seems like only the / partition is checked if the file /forcefsck is found at boot time. To fsck your /home partition you could reboot in recovery mode (from the grub menu) and select the root shell option. Then determine which device is your /home partition with the command mount | grep /home The output should be something like /dev/sda3 on /home type ext3 (rw) where /dev/sda3 is the device name. Now umount it with the command umount /dev/sda3 then run the fsck with the command e2fsck -f -C0 /dev/sda3 and afterwards mount it again with this command: mount -a Of course you would replace the /dev/sda3 in the commands above with the actual device name of your home partition. Actually you _could_ do it without rebooting but that would be a bit more complicated to explain and I would probably miss some possible problems.

Somehow I didn't see the attachment with the log. However it would have been helpful if you described what you did instead of attaching a log without comments. In that log I don't see an error message from fdisk as I would expect from your subject, only this one from the mount command: | 8 / 9: Populating rootfs Partition | Be patient, this may take a few minutes | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd2, | missing codepage or helper program, or other error | In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try | dmesg | tail or so I'm not sure what the script does here because I don't know the script. But after the error message there is this hint: | Unable to mount /dev/sdd2 at /tmp/tmp.GvquWTpaLd/disk to complete | populating rootfs Partition | Please retry running the script, sometimes rebooting your system | helps. From the log I don't know if you tried this - well I don't think that rebooting would be necessary but maybe it would be useful to replug the card and then run the script again.

I originally built the same on the same cards. It booted fine but problems only appeared after I added a number of packages. Some way through I got a message that it couldn't write to the filesystem. Since then I ran into the problem. Even deleting the partitions and running the script again I hit the problem where the SD has the errors seen in the post.

Yes, the reader might be faulty, especially if both cards have the same error. OTOH, maybe there is a problem with Natty. Can you give some instructions how I could try to reproduce the situation? I have a test partition for cases like this on a harddisk and I could try it on a SD card as well. Another option might be to fill (one of) the cards with zeros (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX) and then retry the script. But make sure there are no valuable data on the card because the zeros will of course erase everything. > On 21/03/11 12:17, Sid Boyce wrote: > > 11.04 natty and all kernels up to 2.6.38-7-generic. > > I added an attachment to the original post which didn't get > > through, so here goes with cut and paste.

More elegant would be to automatically create the filter and the folder if a message of an new mailing list is received where you have been registered so that further messages of this list are recognized as message of that list. The header of messages of that mailing list contain the mailing list ID which classifies the message as a mailing list message. Filter and folder have to be created AUTOMATICALLY! How can I do that?

Really not my problem but how many mailing lists are You subscribed to or are You planning to being subscribed to? And do You really think to spend hours (and perhaps even more hours ...?) with this automation question seems to be more "time-efficient" than to create the filters by hand for each new mailing-list by hand _in_just_a_few_seconds?

Now you can create a new, custom filter. First you create a filter header called List-Id from the drop down menu and then fill in the rest. -- Isak *** Powered by Ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com From gkourtev at gmail.com Tue Mar 22 08:35:41 2011 From: gkourtev at gmail.com (Georgi Kourtev) Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 10:35:41 +0200 Subject: Desktop effects slow monitor performance Message-ID: <201103221035.41950.gkourtev@gmail.com> Hi all, I post few times here with issue related to enabled effects and the refresh rate of the screen (the latter being really bad while th effects are on).

The way I understand it, Xrender isn't utilizing your hardware to draw the effects - it's "software accelerated". Have you tried another window manager e.g. Compiz? I've had problems myself with Kwin + Radeon X600 + Kubuntu, but switching to Compiz gave me a little performance boost. Funnily enough things are working much better with other distros, it seems to be the *buntu base that have problems.

That graphics card doesn't support proper hardware acceleration, and the driver even less. I'm using XRender with relatively few artifacts/glitches and can only suggest you do the same - OGL seems to be broken badly, probably due to the driver's low quality. There may be some corrupt graphics after a suspend-to-RAM. I haven't found a way to get rid of them except a reboot.

No problems at all with kwin here, the D630 is running Natty most of the time, in 10.10 I do not recall any issues either, and me loves me Blur effect, thats for sure :). I don't know the refresh rate issue could be, aren't lcd screens pretty much locked to one value? imo, intalling compiz is just adding one extra layer of complexity as you have to install, set up, and then (hopefully) it runs :) A perhaps better thing to try is to try delting your ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc from *outside* of KDE, to try and regererate a fresh clean copy. Or create a new user account to see if the problem is systemwide or user-specific (hence the deletion of the kwinrc file) Another option to try is to install updated intel video drivers from Ubuntu Xorg team's ppa for stable upstream drver releases: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates You can see if that works, but if not , reverting is fairly easy: install the package ppa-purge, then in a terminal enter: sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates and you will go back to 'stock'. -- Clay Weber http://kubuntuforums.net http://ubuntumaine.org http://emacdogsports.com From claydoh at claydoh.com Tue Mar 22 13:58:42 2011 From: claydoh at claydoh.com (Clay Weber) Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 09:58:42 -0400 Subject: Filtering messages that belong to mailing lists In-Reply-To: References: <4D87F51E.70809@gmx.net> Message-ID: <201103220958.42740.claydoh@claydoh.com> On Tuesday, March 22, 2011 05:57:17 AM Mario Andes wrote: > Hi J.L., > > sure I can do it by hand.

IMHO this list is OK. After all it looks like a support question to me. However if there actually is a feature missing in the (K)Ubuntu version of FF, you should file a bug at .

Sorry, I don't use FF frequently and I'm not familiar with debugging in FF. Hopefully giovanni_re can answer that question because he seems to use that option. Anyway, I would expect that you would first of all install the package "firefox-dbg" from the repository. Maybe that is already enough or perhaps you would have to enable it with some config option but I couldn't find one and I don't know a page that crashes FF to test it.

I think you should run the program pavucontrol from the package with the same name if you have problems with pulse audio.

And also makes use of KDE's gtk theme integration with a theme that makes it 'fit in'.

Nils Thanks for all your answers, but, as I said, perhaps not very clearly 1. Kmix>capture is blank, settings>configure channels>available channels is blank 2. Pavucontrol>input devices has the greyed out message 'no input devices available' 3. system settings>multimedia>phonon>audio capture>communication - 'internal audio analog stereo' is greyed out. I think this must be because the system has failed to notice the microphone on boot-up and so failed to install a driver for it, I might add that the whole thing worked when I last used it less than a week ago. I'm using an amd64 processor and Kubuntu 10.10 with an nVidia chipset and am using the latest (recommended) driver for it from the repos. brian From magick.crow at gmail.com Tue Mar 29 19:34:36 2011 From: magick.crow at gmail.com (Knapp) Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 21:34:36 +0200 Subject: Apache hell, setting up a web site Message-ID: OK I have been trying all day to get a website to work.

On the other hand, telnet journeytothestars.webhop.net 80 results in a connection but GET does nothing. How exactly do you propose that I change default? Why would that be better than changing journeytothestars? Both are read in as far as I can tell. The setting say to read all the files in that dir and each one is a virtualhost. -- Douglas E Knapp Creative Commons Film Group, Helping people make open source movies with open source software! http://douglas.bespin.org/CommonsFilmGroup/phpBB3/index.php Massage in Gelsenkirchen-Buer: http://douglas.bespin.org/tcm/ztab1.htm Please link to me and trade links with me!

Message-ID: Hello everybody Today, the KDE workspace crashed several times when starting up. That's why I I renamed /.kde to "kde-old" with a view to replacing the workspace. By doing so, I did manage to get back a functional workspace. However, one major problem remains: the total KDE "Kontact" P.I.M. simply does not function any more. When clicking at the "Kontact" icon at the panel or via "K-menu", the package stops functioning even before it starts. When clicking at it second time, I get a feedback that Kontact is already running, although nothing from the PIM is functional at this moment. I have tried to fix the problem by "reinstalling" Kontact. As a matter of result, I lost all my calandar data, for which I did not yet find a method to safely and effectively backup and sync it. My contacts I have backuped: locally at my laptop and phone, online via the contact section of GMAIL. However it may be, I really urgently need your help to get Kontact functional again as well as to backup plus sync the calendar.

Also, do you remember what updates and/or programs you have installed lately? Any third party repos? Regarding backing up and syncing your calendar, I'd recommend using Dropbox. You could then export the calendar to your Dropbox folder and that way always have it backed up as long as you're online. -- Isak ~~~ Powered by CrunchBang Linux http://crunchbanglinux.org/ From mikemcginn at mcginnweb.net Wed Mar 30 16:47:25 2011 From: mikemcginn at mcginnweb.net (Mike McGinn) Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 12:47:25 -0400 Subject: Urgently help needed to get back "Kontact".

In your renamed kde-old directory under the "share/apps" directory kmailare directories named "kmail", "korganizer", "kaddressbook" and "kabc". I bet copying these into your new ".kde/share/apps" fixes your problem. -- Mike McGinn FACOCM You won't look forward to the trip!

So far, I do manage to completely recover both the address book and (IMAP) e-mail functions: by copying them from kde-old (which I do keep so far) into the "apps" directory from the new .kde. But still I do not manage to recover somehow the old calendar. Nor do I manage to sync some calendar at this laptop with the ones in GMAIL or any other remote server which I could use in it's turn to sync it with my smartphone, a Nokia N900. I would really appreciate your input on the questions specified here. Thanks in advance.Respectfully yours, Bas. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

B*y *opening in my case "std.ics" with K-Organiser, I manage to recover all old calendar data (to-do's, events, journals) as well as to "merge" them with any other "new" calendar. A big, big relief!* I* have immediately made calendar back-ups in two formats: .ics and .vcs.* *Now, the next question is: is it possible to effectively "upload" all the calendar data to "Google calendar" by means of "synchronisation"? Or to sync it with any other online calendar backup service - via Akonadi "DAV" group ware, Funambol or whatever? I need some online possibility with which I can effectively sync both: * - *my laptop (Kubuntu 10.10, KDE 4.5.1, KOrganiser) and ...* - *smartphone, a Nokia N900 with the Linux distro "Maemo". * I do manage to sync the address books at the phone and laptop via not very open sourced "Mail for exchange" at the smartphone, the package "akonadi-googledata" in combination with KOrganiser at the laptop. and the GMAIL address book as online intermediary. But calendar synchronisation seems to be a tougher issue. So far, I have been trying two methods to sync both machines via Google as intermediary online station: - via "akonadi-kde-resource-googledata", cf. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user.kde/25211 - via "DAV" groupware, cf. amongst others http://davmail.sourceforge.net/and http://alin.elenaworld.net/?p=697 But every attempt ends up so far in a (apparent?) failure to upload my calendar to Google.
