Here is an easy way to upload pictures to Image Shack(a free image sharing
site, if you don't know already) right from your desktop.

1) Install the package "python-pycurl".

2) Install PyShare Nautilus script form here-
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/pyshare

3) Extract it and copy the folder contents to .gnome2/nautilus scripts
folder in /home.

4) After that, when you right click on an image, there is an option to
upload to ImageShack(Scripts--->
SendFiles). It will also give the link after uploading.

It is happening because, when sending invitations in social networking

uncheck this address "ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com" while sending bulk
invitations. Another possible way to stop this is signing up for a new mail

Anyway, we, members will take care to keep the list un-cluttered & make it a

[ubuntu-in] My webcam 041e:0405f does not work in Hardy

[Mohan Dasaratha Rao]

Hi Onkar,
'I am sorry that I did not give more information. I thought that my device
number 041e:0405f would be sufficient. It is a Creative Live Webcam. I had
to download driver file os511 from a dedicated website for this purpose in
Fiesty version.
http://www.rastageeks.org/ov51x-jpeg/index.php/Main_Page
Now, this site has an upgraded driver version for Hardy.  So, I tried this
new driver without any success.

I have Nvidia Gefore4 MK440 AGP card. My earlier version Ubuntu was using
restricted driver and I assume that Hardy is also using the same.

As I suggested by you, I typed the commands and the results are pasted for
your information.

[ubuntu-in] My webcam 041e:0405f does not work in Hardy

[Mohan Dasaratha Rao]

Hi All!
After I upgraded to Hardy Heron, I had two problems, one is wi-fi
connectivity and the other is my webcam. My wi-fi connectivity problem got
resolved with the help of one of the members in this forum. My webcam is not
working still, though it worked with Gutsy. I searched th e net and got a
driver package ov51x-jpeg and installed through package manager. It still
did not solve my problem. Probably, I may have to configure manually. I am
not sure on this. My device is listed under usb list. Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

[ubuntu-in] Bombay is shown with Pakistan Standard Time

[Mohan Dasaratha Rao]

Hi All!
I am slowly catching up with Linux/Ubuntu OS. Currently, I am using Hardy
Heron. Few problems, but solving them with the help of friends like you. I
liked the addition of local information in the date/time stamp in desktop. I
added Bombay as one of my locations. Alas! the time shown is Pakistan
Standard Time and not IST. The names of locations also require changes.
Madras should be changed to Chennai and Bombay to Mumbai. Can anyone
report/fix these bugs please? Thanks.

[ubuntu-in] NetGear WG311V3 wireless adapter does not work in Hardy Heron

[Mohan Dasaratha Rao]

Hi VK,

Thank you for your suggestions. My Ubuntu did not recognize dhcp command. I
configured wireless connection manually and it is working. I had to change
my router security from "none" to "WPA". Thanks a lot for your advise. The
things I miss now is automatic connection, the icon animation which tells me
whether connected or connecting. I also miss the speed information with
mouse over the icon. I also notice that I had to configure wireless
connection next time I booted Ubuntu. I do not know whether it would be a
routine everytime I boot. I am ectremely thankful to your advise. Best
Regards.

When I first used Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn, I had problem making my NetGear
WG311v3 to work on my PC. I searched in the net and got a good documentation
in Ubuntu forums. The problem got fixed once I followed the documentation. I
was happy surfing!
When I upgraded Ubuntu from Fiesty Fawn to Gutsy Gibbon, the upgrade was
smooth and my wireless connectivity was in tact. After some months of use of
Gutsy Gibbon, I was curious to upgrade Ubuntu to Hardy Heron.
When I upgraded to Hardy Heron, the wireless connection was still working.
After a few days, I got an automatic update, and then on my wireless
connection does not work.
I checked up ndiswrapper package. It is still active. I am giving below my
wi-fi connection setting details. I tried to manually change the settings,
but failed. I need help from someone who can fix this problem.

[ubuntu-in] Loaded Ubuntu 7.10 in my desktop

[Mohan Dasaratha Rao]

Hi all!

I just started using Ubuntu 7.04 in my desktop a few weeks back and I was
lucky to see an upgrade within a short period. Immediately, I tried
upgrading it. After a few tries, I could accomplish it. The upgrade download
was direct and not through bit torrent. Sometimes, the download speed became
slow and had to abort the download. It took nearly 8 hours to complete the
download and installation excluding my aborted attempts. 1068 files were
downloaded for the upgrade. The installation was smooth.

One positive thing that happened was on Google Earth. IN Ubuntu 7.04, it was
not working. When I installed Google Earth, I did not press "Quit" and
instead pressed "OK" in the installation dialog window. The Ubuntu support
document specifically said "not to do this". In a hurry, I did this mistake.
I was logged out every time, I launched Google Earth in Ubuntu 7.04. I
wanted to uninstall and was looking in the net for a neat uninstall
procedure. In the mean time, I upgraded Ubuntu to 7.10. To my surprise,
Google Earth started working automatically under Ubuntu 7.10.

I find a lot of applications added in 7.10 repository. I had Automatix2
repository in my earlier version of Ubuntu. This did not work after upgrade.
I had to uninstall it and install the one suitable for Ubuntu 7.10. This
also works now.

Ubuntu 7.10 seems to be faster than 7.04. I can not be sure of it, since it
is not based on any verifiable data. Installation and usage of 7.10 was
smooth so far. All my loaded applications and configurations were intact,
excepting Automatix, of course.

Regards

[ubuntu-in] I am part of this community now

[Mohan Dasaratha Rao]

Hello everybody,
I started seeing threads to my posting and feeling  excited and involved. I
thank Mr. Rajesh for his kind words. I also see the posting of nan budh It
is really a mistake. Yes. It is can not be 27 years. My calculation was
wrong. I started exploring PC from 1985 itself with dos. I had exclusive PC
with windows from 1992. There were few versions earlier to windows 95.
Windows 95 upgrade was a major one in those days. If I remember correct, the
version of windows was 6.0, which I explored first. The installation files
were more than 40 nos in floppies. Thanks for indicating my error.

My Ubuntu is healthy. My first impression is that it is stable than windows.
Some of my applications I use in Windows do not have linux versions. Some
applications loaded in Ubuntu are not fully functional. These are early
times for me and I may be doing something wrong. After some exploration and
experimentation, I can come to a final conclusion.

The first major issue I have, at present, is WLAN setting. When I connect my
PC to wireless router (Airtel supplied Beetel 440 TXI ADSL modem + wireless
router) through cable, Ubuntu connects to the net. When I try to connect
through wireless PCI adapter (Netgear WG311GE v3), Ubutu does not work. I am
searching the net for a possible solution.

It is good that I joined this community. I would definitely be more
enlightened. Thank you all.

I am new Linux and Ubuntu. I have been using MS windows for nearly 27 years
and was yearning to change to open source software. Ubuntu has given me an
opportunity to try now. My PC has a dual boot arrangement with Windows XP
and Ubuntu 7.04. I am writing this e-mail after booting my PC with Ubuntu
OS. I am a retired mechanical engineer and looking to explore the new
technologies and frontiers. I am pleased to join the mailing list to know
more about Ubuntu, tweak it and experiment with it. Though I am not a coder,
I am preparing myself to become one. Greetings to everyone.

Were you able to solve this issue? I am getting horrible data rates on

This renaming is because of the PATA drivers in the linux kernel (2.6.20+ ?)

You could try the htop/top tool to see which process is taking up the CPU.

Subsequent indexing of files will be a lot faster if you have inotify 
compiled into the kernel. This is compiled in as part of the stock 
kernel in Ubuntu.

The .gnupg directory should preferably have 700 permissions.

[ubuntu-in] unable to connect to net when booting on Xen enabled kernel

[Prashanth Mohan]

Hello,

I installed the Xen hypervisor kernel
(xen-image-xen0-2.6.17-6-generic-xen0) from the Ubuntu repositories. I
am using edgy on my PC. Some of my hardware setting are here:
http://pastebin.ca/244948

I am able to work fine from the stock kernel. However, when I boot into
the Xen enabled kernel, I am unable to ping any website. Any one know
any reasons?

Thanks,

[ubuntu-in] Compilation of Custom kernel in Edgy

[Prashanth Mohan]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

Has someone managed to compile a custom kernel in Edgy Eft?

I tried to compile the 2.6.17 kernel with the beyond patchset applied.
And i get the following error. I get the same error on the vanilla
kernel too.

  CC  init/version.o

Is someone facing the same problem? Does someone know a work around?

Thanks,

And if you have a working net connection setup on your Ubuntu
Installation, you can install the GCC by:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential

and for Sun Java:
sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk sun-java5-jre

Also make sure that all the repositories are uncommented in the
/etc/apt/sources.list file.

[ubuntu-in] Inittab ttys

[Prashanth Mohan]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I have commented out all except 2 terminals for my system (in my inittab
file):
# Note that on most Debian systems tty7 is used by the X Window System,
# so if you want to add more getty's go ahead but skip tty7 if you run X.
#
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
#3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
#4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
#5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
#6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6


However, when I start the system, all I get all 6 terminals active. I am
on Ubuntu Edgy Eft, which uses the upstart initialising system instead
of sysvinit. Could it be because of that?

How do I ensure that only 2 getty terminals are started?

Regards,

Hello,

I am not able to compile any kernel sources on my machine (Ubuntu Edgy

with some patch sets). I get the following error:

My .config is pasted at http://pastebin.ca/203484 (I am using a very
basic .config file for now -- the one that comes default with the
kernels of the Ubuntu repo). I try to create the image using the
following command -- `make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers'

What could be the reason?

P.S mbuf from ILUGC gave me some links:

I have still not been able to solve the issue. Has anyone compiled a
custom kernel successfully on Edgy?

I don't have spare ubuntu cds myself at the moment. I have forwarded the

Hey Sudharshan!

Dapper is very stable for me! Replace your sources.list file with
'http://prash.be/files/sources.list' and then run an `apt-get update &&
apt-get dist-upgrade`. This should do fine :-)
