Empathy in Unity presents that pop-up at the top, in response to which you need to hunt down the appropriate Empathy window and type into it. Any attempt to interact with the notification causes it to become invisible. Gnome shell presents a pop-up from the bottom which you can respond to by clicking on and typing into. Alternatively, you can hunt down the Empathy window and type there if you prefer. -- Avi -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] OO error in 10.10
I have OO 3.2 on Ubuntu 10.10. Today I get the fatal error message The application cannot be started. Loading component library failed: file:///usr/lib/openoffice/program/../basis-link/program/libfwkli.so I've dug about on the OO and Ubuntu forums, only info I could find was that creating a new user profile would cure this, but it doesn't - I still get the same message. I can use a live CD to access and print the file I need, but I'd like a permanent cure!

So you cannot click them to get to the reply form for instance. -apw -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I'm puzzled. Unity does this already. The notifications are translucent boxes at top right of the screen. The daemon is called ayatana-notify, IIRC. -- Liam Proven • Info & profile: http://www.google.com/profiles/lproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: lpro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AIM/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • ICQ: 73187508 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Precise Pangolin ....
> Overally the release has been a much less rocky place even > prior to Alpha-1. It's looking pretty good from here. Thinkpad W520 with i5 processor and integrated graphics; apart from the aforementioned software centre everything works fine so far. The system seems rock solid. I had problems with USB3 devices not being recognised in 11.10 but have not had any in 12.04 alpha. Power consumption is comparable, with tweaks, although I haven't tested it in out of the box configuration. Keep up the good work, guys. :) jim -- Jim Cameron, Software Engineer, Bühler Sortex Limited Registered in England No. 434274 [apologies for the following corporate mandated stupidity] This e-mail (including any attachments) is confidential, may be legally privileged and is designated exclusively for the intended recipient.

[ubuntu-uk] Upcoming job opportunity
Hello! I have an upcoming job opening for someone to essentially do the technical support for a small company in Aldermaston. The technical support process at the moment is that the problem lands on my desk and I try and sort it out while doing other things. As the business has grown this has now become a very dumb way of doing things and it would be your job to take the problem away from me and design the processes for dealing with support problems as they arise, and documenting them when they do! You'll be part of a small team of developers where decisions can be made relatively quickly and help is just a nerf dart away. Support would be your main task, dealing with problems from resellers installing high performance NAS systems in video environments. Site visits will be required at times, mostly in the London area. 90% of the problems you deal with will be down to the end users network, so a knowledge of networking is a must. Internal training will be given where required. Most of the code we produce is written in python, parts of it using django, and you may be expected to write small patches to fix issues when they arise. A knowledge of python is essential, but training can be given when necessary. You wouldn't be expected to deal with the majority of problems on your own for the first couple of months, but learning quickly is pretty essential and documenting things as you learn them would help me immensely. Aside from the what the job entails, the company is a rapidly growing manufacturer of high speed storage devices for the video industry. We have developed custom solutions for several high profile clients, all using various forms of Linux. Internally we use a mixture of Mac and Linux systems (all the dev stuff is done on Linux, but the sales people seem to like their macs for some reason). If you would like any more information, feel free to drop me an email off list at matt at gblabs with co in the uk :) . This hasn't been 100% confirmed yet, but if we find the right person it will become confirmed very very quickly! -Matt Daubney -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
