Well, if the disk isn't connected, obviously the update-grub script can't find it and add it to the menu. I think you should first connect the disk before you proceed. > it was showing with my dual booted xp pro sp3 and k10.10 in grub 1.98 > address as windows NT/2000/XP (on /dev/sdb5), so how can I create a > grub showing my 2 disk with xp pro like in the grub 1.98, or can I > create grub 1.98? What do you mean with "create grub 1.98"? Anyway, like I wrote already, it might work if you append these lines to the file "/etc/grub.d/40_custom": menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP (on /dev/sdb5)" { set root=(hd1,5) chainloader +1 } Then, with the disk sdb connected, run the command sudo update-grub and reboot. If that doesn't work as expected, please let us know what happens.

That isn't an obvious way to configure it except as an override the default, somewhat of a back door. So, under kmail>config>composer/header, click on new, click on the line to get focus and type 'User-Agent' without the quotes, and click apply, then close. That header line, because it has no content then apparently overrides the default, causing that line to be removed as you can verify by hitting 'v' while reading this message in your copy of kmail.

But since this is the Kubuntu mailing list, go ahead and remove all of Gnome anyway. :p On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 6:02 AM, Peter Hillier-Brook wrote: > Just for information.

I went from 11.04 to 11.10 to 12.04. In the middle I only booted long enough to start the upgrade--I didn't test to see if everything worked. It seems to have gone fairly smoothly, except for kmail. kmail wouldn't start, and would tell me to run the upgrader interactively, but when I ran it it would say it had already run. I deleted ~/.kde4/share/config/kmail-migratorrc and it ran, supposedly successfully, but then kmail would not run. Following some internet sleuthing, I deleted ~/.kde/share/apps/akonadi and ~/.config/akonadi and my .kmail2rc and it finally ran, and even figured out some of my email accounts. But all my mail is missing! There is a File->Import Messages menu item that looks promising. Maybe I can import all my emails and then I will be able to read them. There is a likely sounding "Import KMail Maildirs and Folder Structure" item in a drop-down. Of course, it warns me not to import ~/Mail, which is where my mail is, but I think it is just confused. Why should it worry about infinitely looping on importing mail when kmail now stores my mail in a mysql database? There is a funny warning that I don't really understand: "Since it is possible to recreate the folder structure, the folders will be stored under: "KMail-Import" in your local folder." Should that be "Since it is impossible..."? I still don't understand, but oh well. I'll try it. So I click the button below "Please select the folder to import to" and choose to import to a subfolder in my local email. The next part is a disaster. I have hundreds of email folders, and the dialog makes me start over for each one. So I have to pick where to import to, then navigate to a folder and select it. Ultimately I find that I can multi-select all my mbox folders at once and do a big import. They get imported into folders named MBOX-oldname. Why they developer thinks I care that they used to be in mbox format I can't imagine. Now I have to go rename them all, but at least they loaded quickly. Now I still have lots of slightly newer maildir folders to import. It takes me a long time to realize that if never actually lets me select a maildir folder and say okay. If I select a folder the dialog enters that folder showing the sub-folders. Finally, I just give up and I click "okay" when I've entered the folder in question with nothing inside selected. Wow, it actually starts importing all my folders. Moronically, it is putting every folder into a KMail-import folder, but I guess I was warned. I still don't understand why it would do that. So, I guess the upshot is that it worked, mostly. I still get the heebie-jeebies at the thought of keeping all my mail in mysql instead of easily to read mbox and maildir folders, and I have all my folders named stupidly, but it looks like I haven't lost my mail. That's good. This has probably been the worst upgrade experience I've had in my almost 20 years of running Linux. I can't believe that anyone thought this was a good idea, or that it was ready to use. Since I got past the kmail crashing instantly it has only crashed twice--but I've only been running it a couple of hours. Let's hope that no more big changes are coming.

I tried "migrate" at least twice and then gave up. Moved my mails away, created fresh KMail and imported mails. Worked way better though I also had to move all folders from "KMail-imported" to where I wanted them in "Local Folders". And yes, though 4.9 is the best KMail2 this far it still unstable if you ask me. Accidentally moved a folder with subfolders to another folder (hate clickpads, give me touchpad with clickbuttons any day) and moving it back caused some sort of database total hickup. I eventually sorted it, though it took me literally hours and CPU nearly burnt out. But this is why my wife use Thunderbird and not KMail - she would just have sat there and "where the h..l did all the mails disappear to"? Note I love KMail, it is the whole chain of Nepomuk-Akonadi-MySql that is at least for now too unstable for "average Joe" use.

If you use one of the other provided preset settings or if you use your own customized settings, they will be correctly applied to your KDE/Qt applications, but all GTK applications will continue with the default oxygen-like appearance. GTK applications look completely alien in my KDE desktop after the update. I don't know if this is a bug somewhere in KDE or in qtcurve or in gtk2-engines-qtcurve, because all of them were updated at the same time. Probably gtk2-engines-qtcurve. 2) KMail filtering got worse. In 4.9, at least my simple filters (filters with only one rule and one action) were working ok. After the update, none of my filters work automatically anymore. I have to manually select all messages in my inbox and use CTRL+J to filter them. Other than that, 4.9.1 is great.

That would be your user account name. Ordinarily you'd see this on the LightDM or KDM login screen.

Doesn't the OS detect the printer when it is connected or is it a driver problem? Does any thing show up on your screen if you are monitoring your system logs at the time you connect the printer? Try the following: tail -f /var/log/kern.log And then plug in the printer. Does anything show up in the log? What? If the printer is detected when it is connected and still does not work, maybe it is a driver problem. Samsung usually provides good Linux drivers for their printers at their website. Have you tried them?

I consider KMail far better but at times wonder why the ... the decision to migrate to Akonadi was made when the app clearly was not, and in some ways still is not, ready for that move. The other part to complain about is that the whole chain of Nepomuk-Akonadi-MySQL and the connection to physical mailfolders is, put mildly, poorly documented so if (when) the shit hits the fan you are in the dark. I use Thunderbird for mailing lists and some other stuff but I am considering migrating almost all of that to KMail actually.. not the other way around. Now what you can do is to create new subfolders in mbox format, move your mails to these and then you are ready to import these to Thunderbird no problems.

However, at a certain moment, the printer did not print any more. At CUPS something like this was being said: "Waiting for the printer to become available". That's why, I removed the printer from CUPS with a view to reinstalling it after a reboot. This worked well one or a few times, until the same "Waiting for the printer..." problem came back. > Doesn't the OS detect the printer when it is connected or is it a driver > problem? A few times, the system did immediately recognise the printer - even without me installing the Linux drivers from Samsung. After such a moment, I could go on printing without problems. But a few hours or days later, the "Waiting for the printer .." problem came back. That's why I have again manually installed those drivers along the lines of the following instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1591873 This method worked well for some years, but now it does not succeed more. That's one on reasons I soon will carry out a fresh install of Kubuntu 12.04 with KDE 9.4.1. at both of my laptops. > Does any thing show up on your screen if you are monitoring your system logs > at the time you connect the printer? Try the following: > tail -f /var/log/kern.log > And then plug in the printer. Does anything show up in the log? What?

Nothing happens after doing so. So, I quit the terminal and reopen it. I give in the same command: bas at Viaconsensus-travel:~$ tail -f /var/log/kern.log The results are exactly the same - nothing change in relation to the printer or anything else. So, I do another experiment - with the printer still connected to the laptop, but no other USB device. bas at Viaconsensus-travel:~$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 064e:d217 Suyin Corp.

Exactly the same outcome. > If the printer is detected when it is connected and still does not work, maybe > it is a driver problem. Perfectly legitimate suggestion. But as I said, I did install the right driver in a way it used to be effective. So, the problem may be somewhere else. > Samsung usually provides good Linux drivers for their printers at their website. I wholeheartedly agree. > Have you tried them? Yes, absolutely. I have worked with them during probably 2 years - successfully until recently. > I have a Samsung ML-1640 and it works great! The same applies for me - at least, till recently. > How did yo switch to 12.04? Upgrade? Fresh install? At both of my laptops, I did a fresh install - in May, so nearly half a year ago.. In fact, I always do a fresh install as soon as possible after upgrading and making a list of "installed packages". For details about this, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366&page=12 > I did a fresh install and it popped up as soon as I connected it and turned it on... After my fresh install, exactly the same happened. I even did not need to manually install the drivers from Samsung - they came themselves immediately after connecting the printer. So, everything seemed to work flawlessly, until that bizarre "Printer waiting..." problem popped up. > If you've upgraded, it might be a configuration conflict for CUPS. Try re-configuring CUPS. This is bizarre. The first time the problem became manifest, was in June - about one month after the fresh install of 12.04 at both machines. Via CUPS, I removed a few times the driver of SAMSUNG ML-1640 - with a view to reinstall it after a reboot - a few times, this strategy seemed to work, until some moment in July. After coming back from holiday, I again tried to reconfigure CUPS - no luck any more. > Same here - I used Samsung "Unified driver" on a 10.04, but on a fresh > install of 12.04 ML-1660 worked just after plugging in, without > additional software. As I said before: this happened in my case also. But about one month later, the problems became manifest. > Perphaps removing all files installed during > process and trying again should help. This is exactly what I tried a few times: successfully until some moment, no luck any more ever since. Apart from the printer problem, the system is behaving weird. That's why, I will carry out another fresh install at both machines as soon as I can. After doing so, I will tell you at this forum whether I manage to get started again with the printer.

I give in the same command: > bas at Viaconsensus-travel:~$ tail -f /var/log/kern.log > The results are exactly the same - nothing change in relation to the > printer or anything else. The tail -f command shows the new lines added to kern.log as they are added, no need to quit reopen the terminal. New lines should show up there when you plug any USB device. Run the tail -f command and plug in an usb stick to see how it looks like. If no new lines show up in the log when you plug the USB cable of your printer to the computer (with the printer turned on, of course), then it seems to be a hardware problem. You may want to try a new USB cable, or plug it to another USB port on your computer, or test the printer with another computer to see what happens.

If you want to spend time then you can squeeze that 12.04 kubuntu onto a 700MB CD or you can get a non-standard size CD and use that. But the simplest way is to burn it to a 4.7GB DVD.

With standard settings it would not burn the 703 MB image. When overburning was allowed it accepted that size and produced a good CD. The CD brand was a cheap genetic "no name ". I did have difficulty booting the disk on my old machines, most over 5 years old, fully functional but cantankerous. My newest, a 3 year old HP, just finished the installation and it works. (My 2 tablets are my newest computers, Xoom from spring 2011 and Google Nexus 7 from July 2012). For those who have to burn their disks on other operating systems please look for an overburning option. Most have it well hidden. If using ancient "steam powered" computers, like me, it may be time to look for a good newer refurbished model.

Your problem, I never heard of it happening. As other people do not have this problem, I wonder what makes your distribution stand out? Why does it only happen to you? Ask your self what the last change on the system was before this started happening. Could it be that a fresh install (not an update or upgrade) would solve your issues? Easy to say, I know ......

Message-ID: <14664164.8EHQ1nNSML@viaconsensus-travel> Dear Everybody, at present I am having a weird experience with WIFI. I have two "netbooks" with each a fully updated "fresh" install of Kubuntu 12.04, along with KDE 4.9.1. At one netbook, a Eee PC 1001 HA, KNetworkmanager functions in a excellent way, also when using WIFI. The other netbook is a HP Pavilion dm 1. Though I have there exactly the same OS-GUI combination, I cannot really rely on WIFI: not via KNetworkmanager, also not via "WICD". The networkmanager keeps stuck in the "configuring interface" stage and prompts for the password every five minutes. The only "workaround" I have found so far, is restarting the system, until it catches the WIFI signal - a sometimes time consuming procedure. A weird detail is the behaviour of the networkmanager when the system is connected to internet via a wired connection. Even in such a situation, the networkmanager keeps trying to establish also a wireless connection - each 5 minutes it prompts for the password, while the "interface" is being "configured". My question is now: is there a way to get a more reliable WIFI connection for the HP Pavilion dm 1? -- =============== Bas G.

If you don't do that, both nm and wicd would fight each other configuring the wifi interface. In the end none of them wins and there is only intermittent connection. OTOH, if you made sure that only one of nm or wicd wass installed at a time, I would assume that the reason is the kernel driver for your hardware. You can find out which hardware is installed in your machine with the command sudo lshw -C network in a terminal. If you tell us which hardware is in use, it may be easier to determine what could be done to achieve a reliable wifi connection.

In one attachment you will find the terminal output of the netbook in question: the HP Pavilion: both with and without the WIFI connection switched on. While writing this reply message, I found a 2nd "workaround": UNchecking the box "enable wireless", and checking it again. After doing so, the WIFI connection seemingly goes on without further interruption. In a 2nd attachment, you will find the terminal output of the Eee PC 1001 HA - the one with the correctly working WIFI connection. > If you tell us which hardware is in use, it may be easier > to determine what could be done to achieve a reliable wifi connection.

The hardware is using the same driver (ath9k) on both machines which makes it a bit strange. But there is a difference between the machines. On the HP the chip is AR9485 and on the other machine it is the AR9285. I don't know the difference between the chips but maybe the driver has a bug for the AR9485 chip. You could try to install a new version of the driver. There is a package "linux-backports-modules-cw-3.4-precise-*" for 12.04 where the "*" should be replaced according to your kernel (usually generic or generic-pae). > While writing this reply message, I found a 2nd "workaround": > UNchecking the box "enable wireless", and checking it again.

Of course it would be better if this extra action wouldn't be necessary.

I am surprised about nautilus, because it works fine here, much better than dolphin (maybe it's a matter of habit ?). I liked thunderbird because with hotmail and gmail it configures automaticaly. I prefer kde4 themes and specially qtcurve aqua but as it works fine with gtk2 I am very happy (not yet working with gtk-3. I find gnome3 themes to dark that's horrible. But as I don't know how to do it I keep to it. I use fakeosx but now in gnome3 it's not too nice. kde4 has wonderfull themes. salut -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
