From rjlapham at gmail.com Sat Oct 1 20:41:00 2011 From: rjlapham at gmail.com (Jerry Lapham) Date: Sat, 1 Oct 2011 16:41:00 -0400 Subject: NRO slideshows Message-ID: <201110011641.00825.rjlapham@gmail.com> I'm running 64bit Kubuntu 11.04 with Firefox updated to 7.01. With Firefox, when I go to http://www.nationalreview.com and scroll down to one of their "Slideshows" there is no way to see more than the first slide. The caption says to "Scroll forward for a selection..." but there is nothing to scroll. When I do the same thing in Konqueror, there is a bar across the bottom of the slide with a left arrow and a right arrow on the ends. Clicking on either arrow does nothing. When I do the same thing in Rekonq, there is a bar across the bottom of the slide with a left arrow and a right arrow on the ends. Clicking on the right arrow advances to the next slide and clicking on the left arrow backs up to the previous slide. If I go to my 32bit laptop running Windows Vista and Firefox 7.01, the scrolling works. Anyone know why the difference? -Jerry ============================================= Jerry Lapham Monroe, OH 45050 rjlapham at gmail.com ============================================= "Too many people -- some of them judges -- seem to think that freedom of speech means freedom from consequences for what you have said.

Has the md5sum changed? It's possible that the file has changed on the server, though unlikely. You can also look at how many bytes get transfered. "ifconfig eth0" tells you how many bytes have been transmitted and received. If you run it before and after, while doing nothing else, you should get a rough count of home many bytes really were received. If this is less than the file size the it didn't really download the file. Michael -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have no idea when Amarok will change the time stamps, it's not the same time every day, and there's a lot of network use other than Amarok.

We are asking you for some help from the Open Source communities. As researchers at the University of Tennessee we are interested in discovering more about learning and interactions of members of the open source forums. This research is conducted through the University of Tennessee and is in no way associated with any forum organization. To further our research we would like input from forum members. The responses are very important to us so we can better understand what tools help forum members learn and have a productive experience in participation. There are two ways you can help: 1. Take a survey about the tools you use in the forum. We are requesting approximately 15 minutes of your time to participate in our survey. Survey link: http://survey.utk.edu/mrIWeb/mrIWeb.dll?I.Project=FORUMLEARN *As a thank you, upon exiting the survey you will be given an opportunity to submit information to be entered in a drawing for a tablet computer (iPad). * 2. Have a one on one interview talking about the forums, how you learn, and tools used. *As a thank you for your interview you will be sent a $25.00 gift card. * Email lholt at utk.edu for more information. You may do either or both of the above. Please be assured that your answers will be confidential. No individual’s answers will ever be identified in any report. Should you have any questions about the project or our interest in using the results, we encourage you to contact Lila Holt, at lholt at utk.edu) or Vandana Singh at vandana at utk.edu.

I'm sorry I took so long to read the responses. Yes, I had the backports PPA for getting the latest KDE. I think it must have been this that kept me from upgrading. I was never able to get a gui tool to work. Ultimately, I used the commandline using do-release-upgrade. This ended up removing all my KDE packages. When I was done, my system would have been pretty unusable, but fortunately I was clever enough to install kubuntu-desktop before I rebooted. That reinstalled almost everything and my desktop came up fine. It looks like Mark's advice was good. If I had known about ppa-purge it probably would have solved my problem. I'm having the same trouble on my kids laptops--I'll try it there.

Roufs) Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2011 15:00:26 +0200 Subject: Request for advise and feedback before upgrading to Kubuntu 11.10 Message-ID: <201110141500.27259.BasRoufs@gmail.com> Hello everybody With interest, I am following the news about Kubuntu 11.10 Oneiric. At the Kubuntu website, a lot of very useful bug fixes and general improvements have been mentioned. Hereby, I thank all those who have been working on them. Before upgrading to 11.10, I would appreciate a bit of advise. In the thread "Kubuntu 11.10 is out", I read the following: > Upgraders should be aware of the transition to KMail 2 which does not > correctly import your mail, instructions on how to do this manually are at > https://wiki.kubuntu.org/OneiricOcelot/Final/Kubuntu/Kmail2 The instructions at that wiki page sound a bit complicated to me. I am wondering whether a more simple approach is possible: for the upgrade as well as for the import of mail and agenda afterwords. With respect to the upgrade: I always do backup all my data at external devices. That's why, I am considering to simply install "from scratch" 11.10 at the Linux partition of my laptop.I do like the improvements coming with KMail2, but I fear the complications that could come with an upgrade to a new Kontact configuration if I would do so via an upgrade from Kubuntu 11.04. In general, recent installation sessions "from scratch" do result in a more stable configuration compared to the results of recent "upgrades". With respect to e-mail: my correspondence is also available online, in my GMAIL account. In 11.04 as well as in a few preceding versions, I have imported this e-mail as "disconnected IMAP", which I like very much. Is "disconnected IMAP" also available in Kubuntu 11.10? With respect to the agenda and tasks in Kontact: so far, I have been backing up them by means of export to ".ics" files: via AGENDA > file > export > iCalendar. After each upgrade, I simply imported such a ".ics" file, after wich all the agenda items and tasks became visible again. Is a similar approach possible after the installation of 11.10? Or is it better to make a 2nd backup in "Google Calendar" and to import from there after installing 11.10? Finally, I need some advise with respect to the system language. I would appreciate possibilities to flexibly change between languages: * at the level of single applications, like Kontact, Libre Office, etc.; * at the level of the whole system. I need this language change possibility with a view to effectively communicating on technical questions at forums like this one. Changing a language of a single application is no problem any more thanks to some improvements that have come with Kubuntu 11.04. But changing the system langues is still complicated -though it is easy to adapt the system language "under the hood", various buttons of the K-Menu keep showing their names in the language of the original installation - even after changing the system language. Is it possible to change the language of buttons like "system settings", "account details", etc. when changing the overall system language? Or is it better to keep the system language - in my case- British English, while adapting the language of a single application when needed? Thanks for your advise!

The backed-up folders have the info that you would be importing back into your fresh setup, so you don't have to take the extra steps to export things first.. Some have reported problems syncing with googledata. so that is why I suggested copying the folders that contain addressbook and calendar data files. My own experience here is that skipping the automatic kmail migration entirely and running it manually did work very well for me, but there are annoyances with my disconnected imap accounts spewing error messages at every sync or when applying filters manually - filters do not seem to work on all accounts, and the spam filtering does not work period. The annoying error popups were eliminated by deleting the disconnected-imap accounts, and re-adding them as normal imap ones. This may not be feasible f or all. I tested this numerous times using 1 pop account, 1 imap (gmail) and 2 d-imap (my web host's email server) accounts. My address books, both local and google based were imported just fine at first login, as were my contacts. clay From linux at appjaws.plus.com Sat Oct 15 15:00:58 2011 From: linux at appjaws.plus.com (Paul Stear) Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2011 16:00:58 +0100 Subject: 2 Problems after upgrade to 11.10 Message-ID: <1473022.u0LrbnMqaE@pc2> Hi all, I have carried out a new install of 11.10 and have a few problems:- 1.

I consider Kmail2/Akonadi an "half" disaster. My considerations follow: - I finally update my system to 11.10 - When I started Kmail, the Migrator started but failed. So I follow the procedure explained in the Kubuntu site and kmail started the migration. - I had to insert all account password again and to reload/refresh all the mail folders contained in my system. The process took almost one day, trapping my poor processor into a 100% busy state, for which I feared after that it would be surely dead. - I lost all my (few) filters and I'm trying to rebuild them. - My spam is not automatically transferred to my spam folder, I restart the spam configuration wizard. - Kmail2 seems, in its wholeness, slower and heavier than before. - I haven't lost any mail. My opinion is that this kind of upgrade is not suitable for production machines, nor for newbies, whom can be discouraged to use the KDE environment. As I have an old machine, I installed the kuuntu-low-fat-settings, but I haven't understood well: do the settings apply automatically, or do I have to search for them manually?

Everything seems to work quiet well exept booting and shut down. When the kernel booted and actually kdm has to start there is only a black screen. I have to switch to a virtual console (strg + alt + f1, no log in) and back to xserver (strg + alt + f7) so that kdm starts. The same happens while shutting down, so i see a black screen, nothing happens. But when switch to a console the computer continues the shutdown.

I remember it not working well in previous versions, but not sure how far back it worked for me, probably maverick or natty. Then you (I think - going on memory) have to look in System Settings >> personal Information >> KDE resources and add the google resource there, and then (I think) you go into Kontact and add a new calendar, the google resource you just added should be an available choice. But this is from memory, the exact location of the "kde resource" config area may be different. There are a lot of little differences from kde 4.4 and 4.6 in System Settings, plus changes in Akonadi itself. There is another more involved method to sync google calendar data, but I cannot remember the whats and hows.

I can open multiple files at once in Kate and it shows the list on the left hand side. When any file has been changed and not saved a the icon showing is a 3 1/2" diskette. So when I am ready to compile, I just look at all the files there and I can see instantly if all changes in all the files have been saved. There are some other features that are nice. Unlike an IDE, you can save changes, then compile and if you don't like what you did you can hit undo until all the changes are undone to the point you want. That is after you saved the changes for the compile. I don't know of any IDE that does that. See what else you can learn from it. There are many surprising features!

So how do I get the code to be on separate lines but just the text wrapped? eg.:
H5 Heading

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Integer suscipit tristique lorem. In tincidunt vestibulum purus. Nam vel orci at nibh scelerisque varius. Donec elit. Etiam at augue.

The following is in Bluefish (with word wrap turned on):

If I wanted that I guess I would put a newline in wherever I wanted it. Isn't 'H5 Heading' in your example also text? I haven't tried kate, but I'm surprised that it can distinguish between different sorts of tags and the text between them. I suppose you could define a snippet that would do

[newline] instead of just

If your pages are already written in another editor, I guess the only way is to process them either using snippets or an external program. - Richard. -- Richard Kimber Political Science Resources http://www.PoliticsResources.net/ From cbell44 at cfl.rr.com Thu Oct 20 19:24:39 2011 From: cbell44 at cfl.rr.com (Tom Bell) Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 15:24:39 -0400 Subject: Oneiric and old/new apps In-Reply-To: <4EA05A65.4040507@prayingforisrael.net> References: <4E9FC5B5.8060703@prayingforisrael.net> <20111020180300.5f0e517e@infinity.home> <4EA05A65.4040507@prayingforisrael.net> Message-ID: <4EA07577.50601@cfl.rr.com> On 10/20/2011 1:29 PM, Nigel Ridley wrote: > On 10/20/2011 07:03 PM, R Kimber wrote: >> On Thu, 20 Oct 2011 08:54:45 +0200 >> Nigel Ridley wrote: >> >>> I tried Bluefish but couldn't get it to wrap text lines without it >>> joining the html stuff all together - grrr. >> >> Bluefish works fine for me. > > So how do I get the code to be on separate lines but just the text > wrapped? eg.: > >

Look at your 'theme' in applications appearance and see which theme you are using. Then check to see you have what is needed.

I did however mess around with the Use KDE Fonts and changed it to something else. I have now gone back to the default and gftp looks fine but Google Earth still looks as if the fonts are not anti-aliased.

No problem here to create and login to a new user with Oneiric, but your description reminds me of a machine I was using until a few years ago. That machine had an insufficient cooling and sometimes such strange things happened. Another idea: Do you use a wireless keyboard + mouse? Then maybe there was some radio interference when your problem happened.

Then reboot - yes I know but this is how to get things working. Then download the google earth deb from the google earth website: [http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html] When it is downloaded, right click on the file and choose to install using qapt-deb-installer. This will tell you that some dependencies have to be downloaded and installed first. It does it but doesn't give any indication that it has finished. I had to wait and then close it, right click on the .deb file and then it installed google earth. Perhaps a better way if from a terminal: sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb DON'T install qt-config -- I'm certain messing around with its font settings messed up my system fonts to the point I had to reinstall Oneiric :-( Hope this helps somebody from having to reinstall due to messed up ugly fonts....

My System (very old with some updates): Pentium IV 2.8 Ghz / Ram: 1 GB / Video Card: ATI 512 MB History: I was coming from Natty 11.04 and Kmail-1. Everything was going smooth. Not so fast, obviously. but I could also keep enabled the desktop effects without problems. Swap (3 GB in total), when necessary, increased up to 4/5% on total (I used to keep open Kmail, Amarok, rekonq or FF, Lokalize at the same time). RAM on startup at abt 45/50% My mail: 4 accounts (POP3) with a total of abt 40,000 mails (I deleted the unneeded ones) My system after the update started the migration to the new Kmail system: it failed, but I succeeded to run it manually. It started the migration and the SYNCHRONIZATION. From this moment on, my system has been poorly overloaded, with no way to stop this hell (for me) "machine" which is Akonadi and its agents: (my poor and old) CPU the most of time at 100% of load, not for few hours but for DAYS, swap increased up to 50% (!); RAM always at 80/90%; activities and actions extremely slowed down. Ok, I've been wrong in something. So I deleted my accounts, setup them again, trying to "clean" the system (luckily, mail servers I use don't delete mail by default). Now I tried to setup Gmail as Imap: worst than ever. Kmail couldn't afford folders/labels of this size (thousands of mails). I deleted the Imap account and re-setup the POP3 one. No way to solve the huge workload. And what about opening a mail folder? No way to do that, unless after few hours. Akonadi and mysql daemon seemed to be allied against my system. As I cannot stay without my (previous) good system, because I collaborate with various localization communities (specifically, KDE, Kubuntu, LibreOffice, OmegaT, amongst them), I decided to DELETE my accounts and ALL Akonadi resources in the system and to quickly setup Thunderbird: Imap for Gmail (more than 100,000 mails in the server) and POP3 for another account (with 8,000 mails in the server). It obviously took some time to do that (but no more than half an hour for download and synchronization), but everything went smooth (even if TB integration in KDE is poor). My system now: at startup RAM 50% / Swap 10% / CPU normal work (presently fans resting and reading a book... :) I had to "kill" manually this morning some akonadi activity and, again, mysqld, but everything seems to go better now. So, my wish is: not all systems are new and fast. In many countries maybe many people still use old systems. In net-books this kind of behavior is deprecated: nobody will use KDE 4.7.2 with Kmail2 and Akonadi. I'm obviously not changing system, because I really like KDE and Kubuntu, I WANT to use them and I managed to tune them for my needs even if with some loss). But I always wonder what would happen if an average user (as I am), the day after upgrade, found a situation as described above. He/she would change immediately system or call ?@!$&?@ the friend who suggested and installed it. I'm waiting for good news in this spaces...

I did try KMail/Kontact2 but had to revert to v1 - and if the Kubuntu crew are clever enough to tell you "don't migrate but do this instead" something is clearly not right. As for nepomuk/virtuoso - I now have to start my sessions by killing nepomukindexer that chews 25% of my cpu. Then wait patiently for virtuoso or strigi or whatever to again reindex the music files I have not even played or touched for a long time. Something is clearly wrong in the long chain of indexing and searching and storage, be it Kubuntu or KDE. And try to find a webpage that explains to you how they fit together, how you look for and fix problems etc. If you do, please report it here as I had no such luck.

No, I didn't know that I had to. But, yes I have now. It asked a few questions, all except the to last I answered in the affirmative and then let it write to /etc/modules and restart some module (can't remember the name now) which didn't restart it just ended with stop/waiting and returned me to a prompt. I waited a bit and then rebooted. I now have my temperature options in gkrellm - thank you! Not sure why I had to do all of that as I never had to in all of my fresh installs plus the Bubblemon plasmoid was able to show temperatures before I installed and ran lm-sensors.

Just as a side note: the plasmoid (widget) Bubblemon did display temperatures before I installed lm-sensors but I much prefer gkrellm as it give loads of information in a narrow (if you so desire) window that doesn't take up much realestate.

Recently I tried Mint which I have quite liked. Now that the new version of Kubuntu is out I have installed it in VBox. I am trying it out because Mint is moving its KDE version to link with Debian and also it is going to be a rolling release. That is not for me, purely personal. So I am looking at this new version of Kubuntu which I like a lot. However there is one area where I seem to be stuck and that is the add-ons for Firefox. The only add-on that turned up after installation was Flash. When I looked to add Java run time I just could not find it. On Mint it was there automatically after installation. (And there is a stack of other add-ons set up for me automatically.) Can anyone point me in the right direction please? I must be missing something somewhere. I would like to go back to Kubuntu, but not if there will be problems with add-ons for FF. Luckily I am just looking at it in VBox, so no harm done to my copy of Mint.

When I look at the add-ons list in Mint it includes Java Plugin 1.6.0_26. When I try to add a similar plug-in for Kubuntu 11.10 (in VBox) I can't find anything matching that layout. As I said, when I installed Mint 10 KDE the Firefox plug-in was already set up automatically. And there are lots of others in Mint, eg Adobe Reader, Quick Time, mplayer etc. I did not have to manually install any of them. So I must have missed a trick somewhere!!

I had to mess around like that in the early days of Linux. Now I expect to find Java working properly when I install a new distro/version. What I should have said is that in future, if I want to have Sun Java working, I will have to go back to the days of such messing around. So I will stay where I am for as long as possible. Sun have really let us down in my opinion.

Message-ID: <4EAABEB9.8060304@gmail.com> Following the upgrade to oneiric yesterday, almost everything looks reasonable. The one obvious exception is one of the three digital clocks in one of my panels. Two of the clocks look fine, but the font in the third one is annoyingly large. How can I change the size of this font? I can't find a setting anywhere that controls this. But there must be one somewhere, because the other two clocks are fine. Everything in the "appearance" setup dialogue looks the same in all three clocks, so it's a mystery to me why one has a larger version of the font than the others. (I'm guessing that there's a configuration file somewhere that I need to edit to fix this.) Doc PS I tried adding a new clock to the panel in the hope that it would have the correct font size, but the font of the additional clock is the too-large version so I deleted it again. -- Web: http://www.sff.net/people/N7DR -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I have a system with 3 SATA drives that I use to keep operating systems isolated as follows: /dev/sda is given over to Ubuntu 11.10, upgraded from 11.04 /dev/sdb is a redundant (almost) Windows 7 installation /dev/sdc is for Kubuntu 11.10, also upgraded from 11.04. This is my primary choice for day to day operations and the disk in which the "working" version of grub is installed in the MBR and which is the chosen boot disk in the BIOS. Until the upgrade of Ubuntu to 11.10, which I performed AFTER I upgraded Kubuntu, all was well in the grub world, with the installation in /dev/sdc and osprober sorting out grub.cfg for all installed systems on all 3 disks. After the upgrade, the MBR on /dev/sdc (or possibly another grub component, I'm not sufficiently au fait with the grub code) is now pointing to a historically installed version of grub on /dev/sda, picking up entirely the wrong version of grub.cfg. I've no idea which element of the upgrade process caused this corruption of the MBR, but I thought I ought to warn others in a similar situation.

Hey Pascal. I have discovered a very nice DJ program. Easy to use, nice effects, a lot of online information, and it is GPL. It is called Mixxx (www.mixxx.org) and can be found in the kubuntu repositories (universe). They have versions for Windows and MacOSX too. You can drag and drop from Dolphin/Konqueror and from amarok (music player). And of course, you can use a headphone to pre-listen the tracks before you decide to play them. -- Namasté, Ulrich ¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø " Can't talk to you without talking to me; we're guilty of the same old thing.         Thinking a lot about less and less, and forgetting the Love we bring "                                      [Grateful Dead, in: 'Althea'] ¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø http://afamiliajuramidam.org/english/     OS: Kubuntu 11.04 & Debian 4 (Linux) From kubuntu-users at whamra.com Fri Oct 28 19:02:35 2011 From: kubuntu-users at whamra.com (Waleed Hamra) Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2011 22:02:35 +0300 Subject: howto change size of font in digital clock in panel?

The panel size is the same as it has been since KDE4 was released, and two of the clocks have the correct font size (i.e., the size they had in natty). The third doesn't. I definitely don't want to change the size of the fonts in the case of the two clocks that are right, nor do I want to decrease the height of the panel. So I need some way to change the size of ONE clock, because just one of the clocks currently has the wrong size of font.

Did you try bringing up a terminal, or using the F2 run command, to restart the desktop with 'plasma-desktop' ? Although backing up the entire .kde directory is good, I do that regularly before upgrades to make recovery easier.
