Dear qgis-user list, I don't remember how I got the idea to subscribe to this user list...but it was a good idea, because a lot of interesting things worth knowing are discussed. But very often I ask myself, why problems and questions about the program and the plugins are not discussed in the forum. This would have several advantages: 1. solved problems, hints and advises can be found via search engine in the internet 2. it is a lot easier to follow the threads and 3. it is preserved better for the future. Often I find things interesting, but have no direct use for it. And then, when I remember it and want to read it again, it is a lot harder to search all the mails in my mail folder than to just remember the thread in the forum or search for it...
So my suggestion is, to discuss more in the forum! This would help me and also a lot of other users, when they try to figure out their problems searching in the internet. And now, as a second thing, very selfish, I will also ask for help in this list: To all the people who use (k)ubuntu! Dos your Qgis run well and do you have the "backports repositories" in your sources.list? I described my problem already in the forum: http://forum.qgis.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=798 but unfortunately I did not get any answer yet. Now I have the idea, that this might be related to package-dependencies which were caused by getting the "backports" updates. Especially I suspect something with the Qt4 libraries. Does anybody know about a problem like this and how to find out to solve it? Thank you very much for your attention!! micha _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
