So far Plasma5 is one big struggle and that is with using stock Intel hardware Example: try change size of font in Thunderbird. Good Luck. Font size in GTK settings is all over the place.

I don't know how you intend to scan them in—it would take a while one-at-a-time. I have an Epson Perfection V300 Photo that can scan about 6 at a time, and is designed to do that, as well as conventional scanning. It's been around for quite a while so might be available cheap on eBay, but I haven't looked. There might be some device designed to scan slides in quantity, maybe from a tray, like a slide projector. Worth Googling! (Then you would surely need a compatible program, and it's probably only available for Windows, and my bet is a late version, not W98.) But it's still going to be quite a bit of work, and $107 + tax, if any, would appear like a cheap solution compared to the alternative. But you didn't mention what format(s) you desire the scanned images in—jpeg files, or paper prints, or what? If you want paper prints, then Walmart is obviously the way to go, but then you don't have any way to modify—touch up—the pictures, or to obtain multiple copies. (Of course, you can always bring selected slides back for copies.) OTOH, if Walmart provides jpeg or similar output files, then you have the same problem you had in the first instance—doing it yourself—how do you get output you can display and share around. Just a quick analysis.

If you do intend to ask how you can install windows 98, it would probably just be easier to install it on some USB disk. Other than that repartitioning your Linux drive or shrinking partitions is perhaps a more troublesome operation that you may not wish to do given the alternatives. Still, if that is your question, it would amount to reducing the size of Linux partitions and ensuring you can create a primary partition for Windows 98 to install on, that you will have to mark "bootable". The question is whether Windows 98 will install on and boot from a secondary partition like that (not the first primary partition, in that sense). It would probably work, or it may work. However personally I would ask what I want: do I want to use Windows 98 only for these slides, or do I want to give it a permanent presence? If the answer is the latter, you can go ahead and repartition (shrink one Linux partition if you have primary partitions available) but it's a bit complicated of course if you don't know how). Otherwise, if your Windows 98 doesn't need special hardware access, you can use VirtualBox just fine. If it's about some device drivers you have, a Windows 98 install on some USB stick should also suffice. Only in the end if none of that suffices would I install on your harddisk directly, but I have the feeling that this is what you want or wanted. Regards.

Message-ID: <57DE4A73.4010904@gmail.com> So finally, with a new laptop, decided to go "plasma5" or in other words Kubuntu 16.04.1 with all backports upgrades. Let us just call it a bumpy ride. This is a Lenovo "stock Intel" not latest laptop. Yet I get the already documented "screen flicker" thing. Changing from the now useless virtual desktops to "Activities" I can live with though I don't get why. And someone tell me why keyboard shortcuts as in say Meta+1 to activate an Activity simply does not work. Then we have KDEPIM. For what time I don't know I lost my Notes as in KNotes. Which is why I have swapped to Basket since some time as this seems to happen with every upgrade. KMail/KAkonadi tells me every morning I have thousands of unread mail. No I don't and yes I have gone akonadictl fsck and all that. Address book in Kmail is again basically useless as any search is dead. That also goes for searching for mail, btw. Gtk apps do or don't accept the settings for font size, a bit on an off so to speak. Thunderbird, that I am using for this mail, totally ignore any settings. Might be the app for sure. That goes for anything I run via WINE also btw. I have no idea who came up with the concept that any newly opened application should hop up to the upper left corner of the screen. Phew.

Usually that only works with the cooperation of your ISP, and to be honest, from what I heard, bonded adsl does not work that well. Most ISP's have dropped it. If what you want is intelligent use of mutliple ADSL connections then a load balancing router/modem might be more up your alley. Most also support intelligent failover, i.e switch connections to one line when the other fails. Draytek do a excellent number of them, though they are expensive and tricky to configure, but very powerful. They also support 4G LTE modems and sim cards. The T-link TL-R480T+ is cheap and pretty good, supports aggregating up to 4 WAN ports: http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/cat-4910_TL-R480T%2B.html Note:Its a router not a modem - you'll also need a modem for each line, which is then connected into the router. -- Lindsay Mathieson From kassube at gmx.net Sun Sep 18 09:03:52 2016 From: kassube at gmx.net (Nils Kassube) Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2016 11:03:52 +0200 Subject: Plasma5 ...

To me that misses the target totally KDE seems to suffer a lot from "elitism" -- create something different, even if it is dysfunctional. At least then you can say you are "not Windows" even if it is detrimental to the user experience. An example is the Windows Switchers. There is a small dozen of different switchers you can use and all of them are dysfunctional. There are Small Icons and there are Big Icons but the small icons are too small and the big icons are too big. Where are the middle icons? Of course, that would be too mundane, wouldn't it. So now you have to go into a file on /usr/share/something and edit the QML file for the big icons (they are called large on the filesystem). Then you can reduce the icon size to 80 or 64 or something and it will work. Then finally you have a functional window switcher.

I'm in the same situation, the best connectivity I can get is a bonded pair of DSL lines for a 10/2 connection I currently have a Zyxel VMG4325-B10A from my ISP, which was last updated in 2012 by the vendor and is a real pain to deal with compared to *WRT.

Seems that running an Ubuntu server in VMware has changed in the last few years and all of the information that comes up in a search is out of date. First thing is that vmware-tools is no longer used, open-vm-tools is automagically installed and takes care of all that. Second thing is auto-mounting your shared folders has changed. To automatically mount your shares add the following to your /etc/fstab .host:/ /mnt/hgfs fuse.vmhgfs-fuse uid=1000,gid=1000,defaults 0 0 That assumes that the folder /mnt/hgfs exists also you may not need the uid and gid but I like to explicitly define the owner on a server. Hope this helps someone. Alan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: From tsimonq2 at ubuntu.com Fri Sep 30 04:31:02 2016 From: tsimonq2 at ubuntu.com (Simon Quigley) Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2016 23:31:02 -0500 Subject: [ANN] CVE-2016-7787 Message-ID: <57EDEA86.4020000@ubuntu.com> Hello everyone, In case you don't know me, my name is Simon, and I'm a Kubuntu Ninja. About 5 hours ago, someone pasted a link to the CVE report for CVE-2016-7787 on the KDE website[1]. Here is the vulnerability: Overview ======== A maliciously crafted command line for kdesu can result in the user only seeing part of the commands that will actually get executed as super user. Impact ====== Users can unwillingly run commands as root. Workaround ========== Users should be careful when running kdesu with a command line they have not written themselves. Solution ======== kde-cli-tools 5.7.5, released as part of KDE Plasma does not allow the execution of commands with such characters. Alternatively, commit 5eda179a099ba68a20dc21dc0da63e85a565a171 in kde-cli-tools.git can be applied to previous releases. Thanks to Fabian Vogt for reporting this issue. Thanks to Martin Sandsmark for fixing this issue. Since, I've filed a bug[2] and worked with a member of the Ubuntu Security team to get the bug fixed and the aforementioned commit backported. This security vulnerability has been fixed in Xenial (and is in xenial-security now) and the Backports PPA (only for Xenial as Wily is not supported any more). We're waiting on kde-cli-tools to migrate from proposed in Yakkety, and that will happen within the next few days. You should update your computer as soon as possible to get this patch. Let me know if you have any questions.
