I've recently upgraded to Hardy, then had an update which replaced the
kernel, modules etc. What I didn't realise was that the upgrades leave
earlier kernels, modules etc around. As a result my / partition has got
rather full. This became obvious when gcc said that a temporary file
hit the 'no space on device' error. I have since cleared out the older
stuff, and there's a reasonable amount of space on /, but df reports
that /tmp is now mounted on 'overflow' whatever that is. This appears
to be a 1meg filesystem, presumably in ram. Gcc still reports no
space on device. Any way out, other than rebooting?

Hello
During the last 4 years I have worked with 3ds max (on windows). But I want to
use OS Linux (Ubuntu). However I can't do it. Becous 3ds max is
incompatible with Linux. I have a lot of friends who work with 3ds max and want
also to work in Linux.

May be new Ubuntu 8.04 and 3ds max compatible now? Or when you project this?
And do you project it generally?
Or please give me a note to read about it.

Best
Alexander

Hi there,
I want to use xrandr to switch one of the two connected monitors off as
soon as kdm has started, before someone logged in. (I couldn't manage it
   with some options in xorg.conf)

If I execute "xrandr -display :0.0" in a boot script, I always get:
No protocol specified
Can't open display :0.0

I think that's because, another user than root owns the display. But I
don't know who.
If I execute xrandr, after a user logged in, as this user, it works.

Before someone logged in "who -a" gives:
             system boot  2008-05-28 20:40
             Runlevel 2   2008-05-28 20:40                   last=

             :0           2008-05-28 22:18                 0 id=:%K
term=0 exit=0
LOGIN      tty2         2008-05-28 21:24             10534 id=2

So it doesn't show any user who owns display :0

So how can I execute xrandr before someone logged in?

Thanks for any help
Cheers
Kilian

the kernel following some instructions that i found on ubuntuforums to 
get the effects and to improve my pc ... But now i can't find my problem 
solution over the internet... so... does anybody has an idea??

Hi,

It seems that eclipse crashes with the sun 1.6 vm. I am not sure it is a
problem created by the vm or eclipse, but the message was clear: vm
terminated. exit code=1. Please help to solve this problem.

Thanks!

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 TLS (Schaweeet!)

Anyway, I am having a problem with nant.  When I attempt to execute the
unzip task I get the following stack trace:

System.NotSupportedException: CodePage 437 not supported
  at System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding (Int32 codePage) [0x00000]
  at NAnt.Compression.Tasks.UnZipTask.get_Encoding () [0x00000]
  at NAnt.Compression.Tasks.UnZipTask.ExecuteTask () [0x00000]
  at NAnt.Core.Task.Execute () [0x00000]

Please send bug report to nant-developers at lists.sourceforge.net.

I can unzip the file using unzip from the command-line.  I haven't tried
building nant from scratch yet, but it looks like that is what I am going to
have to do to track down the problem....Unless someone out here has already
solved this issue :)

Regards

What do you get from the command 
    apt-cache policy epiphany-browser epiphany-webkit epiphany-gecko


That should find epiphany-gecko as well as epiphany-browser if your
repositories are OK:
$ apt-cache policy epiphany-browser epiphany-webkit epiphany-gecko
epiphany-browser:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.22.1.1-0ubuntu2~8.04.1
  Version table:
     2.22.1.1-0ubuntu2~8.04.1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-proposed/main Packages
     2.22.1.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
epiphany-webkit:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:
epiphany-gecko:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.22.1.1-0ubuntu2~8.04.1
  Version table:
     2.22.1.1-0ubuntu2~8.04.1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-proposed/main Packages
     2.22.1.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages


NOTE:
the above shows the main repository, but it is likely that a local
repository (eg us.archive.ubuntu.com or nz2.archive.ubuntu.com) is in
use instead.

Also, it shows that Ubuntu don't package epiphany-webkit in the standard
repositories.

Hi,

Autodesk will answer you more clearly than Ubuntu team. 3dsmax is not 
built on Linux. You will find some threads speaking about this, and 
about Maya, and comparing Blender to 3dsmax.

http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=738318


I wish you good luck but to answer shortly : no 3dsmax on Ubuntu 8.04. 
Maybe you should look around 3dsmax / Virtualbox/ Linux.
