Re: [Hampshire] [ADMIN] AGM supplementary
As was mentioned in Adam's other mail, I stood in case there weren't enough candidates - and it seems I got elected. Ah but Vic, that was for the Hostmaster position, where there was an other candidate and so you were marked as withdrawn. Whereas you were elected separately fo0r the GO post. Now we just have to figure out what the GOs should do... :) -- best regards, Victor Churchill, Bournemouth -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

Re: [Hampshire] Ubuntu Unity
My struggle with Unity continues :-/ Can anyone tell me how to get a samba drive on my server mounted on my new PC with Unity, such that I can write to it and so it mounts automatically? Searches in the Dash for Samba, smb, map, mount, drive, window, even nfs all come up with usually nothing, occasionally nothing useful. I can browse and mount via the home folder, but the mount is always not-writeable and it always disappears at logout or shutdown. I can do it from Gnome-fallback, so the tools are there. I think I've asked before, but can't find a useful answer .. is it feasible to get the menus from the top-bat back onto the individual windows? Maybe when I get to the point of doing real work I'll adapt to the Alt-Menu operation, but presently that seems very unreliable and whilst I'm trying to set things up, I'm mostly using the mouse. Sometimes it's a long, long, way from window to the far top-left and back. How can I get to some different themes? The default four is all I can presently find and I really want something that shows better where the focus is, and ideally that puts the minimise/normal/maximise/exit button row top right, rather than top-left. Again I search on Dash and Ubuntu Software Centre, but can find nothing appropriate. Thanks, Gordon. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

I don't know that this is a Unity question, as I've found this a pain in the last half-dozen releases of Ubuntu, and in Mint et al... but... In Unity, I open the home folder, click file | connect to server, then enter my authentication details. Once done, and the share (or whatever sub-folder I want to have quick access to) is shown, I press crtl-d to bookmark it, and then next time I can skip the whole connect to server stage and go straight to it in my bookmarks. Kindof like a much more sensible map network drive approach. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

Um, OK, though as I say, it's there and working on gnome-fallback. Michael's method of using the File menu appears to pop up the tool that Gnome uses, so I'll likely try that. To me It seems telling that I'm not sure I'd even realised there _were_ menus as they're hidden until I hover on that screen-top bar. That still seems horribly counter-intuitive to me. Why move it away from where they're used, why hide them until hover? My eyes are much faster then waving a mouse over the top-bar to see if there's something helpful there. Alt-Menus again may be better when they work properly with focus-follows-mouse.

I'd completely forgotten and become used to the newer way. I'm comfortable with modifying fstab, if somewhat surprised. How is a newbie to Linux now recommended to find that out? I guess I'll search around there for theme and top-bar solutions?
