The package downloaded from the ubuntu repositories we are all reporting as stating itself in the code and file names to be from 2012.02.27. And finally, the file being executed is python code, not compiled. Sounds like you are running something later which is compiled python which has not been accepted to the repositories yet. Though it may be what you get from whatever package you get/compile from git.

Re: youtube-dl
from the NEW item in the package:
youtube-dl (2010.07.22-1) unstable; urgency=medium
The upstream author has removed support for the -b ("best format") and
the -d ("high def") command line options.
The behavior now is to download the best quality for each video.
If you experience a problem with youtube-dl downloading videos that are
too large, you should consider using the --max-quality option to limit
which format to use.
The list of formats (in decreasing quality) can be found with:
grep "available_formats =" /usr/bin/youtube-dl
-- Rogério Brito Thu, 22 Jul 2010 19:07:03 -0300
(END)
so the error MAY be from too large a file for the coded transfer
protocol. I tried using that option to download as WebM and got the same
result.

Re: youtube-dl
Mine shows the same copyright test although the package I got this am from the ubuntu software center installed /var/cache/apt/archives/youtube-dl_2012.02.27-1_all.deb. I get the same result as Michael although I can certainly play the video directly from the link included in the command line. Mike, most programs have an option to display the version. According to the youtube-dl man page it should be -v but it does not work. It reacts as if you have provided wrong or insufficient parameters. I would say maybe look for a different package to download youtube videos which have better or more uptodate maintenance. Another option is to volunteer to help with the maintenance and/or documentation. On Wed, Nov 14, 2012 at 9:48 AM, Michael Havens wrote: > i just tried apt-get and it says my version is current.

Re: HP locking up
Open the box again and check the cpu heat sink. If it is not getting very warm, it could be loose or poorly sealed with thermal material. That could make for intermittent heating problems. You might have to remove and remount the heat sink.

Re: Question about linux and AMD based chipsets/onboard raid
You said you were installing ubuntu to the independent drive (and one of the messages indicates sdb), but where is it putting GRUB? You may need to use the advanced option to place GRUB on that same drive. Sorry, I don't know what screen the option is on during install but it used to be in the lower right corner. Seems like it would be on the screen where you accept all the changes before actually proceeding with the install.

Re: ufw rules
Thanks Lisa, having the commands to add and the rules to add is very helpful. A couple of clarifications will help me as well. sudo ufw deny from 192.168.0.1 to any port 22 ## assuming 192.168.0.1 was my router/gateway, the above rule would block any access for outside the LAN, yes? sudo ufw deny from 192.168.0.7 to any port 22 ## I believe you added this as just an example of blocking a single address on the LAN sudo ufw allow from 192.168.0.0/24 to any port 22 ## Clear but I have always wondered if the 0/24 just means the first 24 bits must match and the last 8 can be anything? Also: 1) If I normally plugged this machine into192.168.1.x, 192.168.2.x and 198.162.3.x LANs would I just repeat the 3 rules with changed numbers? Or is there an easier way? 2) Does UFW allow environment variable substitution in its rules?

ssh -Y question
I used to regularly do ssh -X user@machine or ssh -Y user@machine so I could run a graphical program on the remote machine and have the display on the machine I was sitting at. In fact, I used to do this at installfests from my laptop (lapdog2) to the headless PXE server (fogtest) right next to me.

Re: How to reprogram the M$ key?
Joe, please always remind us what Operating System and version you are using when you ask these kinds of questions. You should not get nearly so many answers that are across the board and not aimed at your environment. For example, if you are running Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity, the Super key (windows key) should bring up the Dash but that is not what would happen if you had installed Cinnamon or if you were running Fedora for example.

Re: wireless question
Have you recently placed any new electronics near the computer whose wireless is slow? Something like a wireless phone or remote temp sensor or whatever that might be interfering with the signal. Also check the antenna has not loosened or moved in a way that makes it less effective.

Re: OT: wireless problem
Go into network connections and remove the one for your neighbors SSID. Once your system has shown a preference for it (and maybe got an unsecured connection in the past), it will keep going back there. Also delete the one for your own SSID. That way the card will see both signals but not show a preference for either. Then you should be able to select your SSID and enter the :[new] pass phrase instead of relying on whatever XP has in storage for your network. What kind of wireless security are you using on upquick (WEP, WPA. WPA2..._? On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 11:40 PM, wrote: > > > Are you connected to the right wireless ssid?

Re: Helping a Japanese Ftiend
Thanks Matt, Sorry for the delay, yesterday was nuts. I was able to "dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/dev/null bs=1M count=5" as you suggested so I did the whole thing with of=japanese.iso and tried mounting that with Archive Mounter with no success and the with Archive Manager which gave me an error that it was not an iso0660 format. Lastly I used hd some of it to a file (attached) if anyone wants to see it. I'm going to have her try to get some details from her brother about how he made it. I doubt that she will be able to.

Thanks for the replies folks! Derek, this DVD has been tried in 5 players and on 2 computers. The only on that will play it is a 5 year old all region player belonging to the lady's friend somewhere across town.

Re: How to print to Canon wireless printer on my Linux network.
You still have to actually ADD a new printer. I am assuming Ubuntu here but I would bet it is nearly the same for every Linux Desktop. When you do, select network printer and the printing setup will probably find it. If not you might have to doing it manually from the IP. I've never had to do it that way though.

Re: Video Editing software ideas?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_editing_software is no help for deciding anything but it does give a clue about the variety that is available. I have been partial to OpenShot and have given a presentation on it several times. Historically, I tried 5 different ones for Linux before settling on OpenShot about two years ago. Brian gave a presentation Tuesday night on Kdenlive. I have to say I am impressed with what it has to offer. Apparently Kdenlive is also available for BSD and MacOS. I am afraid you need to be conscientious about regularly saving you project in either product to prevent loss of your work. I have heard some people like Cinnelara though I was not happy with it two years ago. There are a couple of others but I do not recall their names. I also heard that a commercial editor is coming to Linux as Freeware or maybe even FOSS, but have not heard anything for some months. That might have been Lightworks but I am not sure.

Re: Resize partition solution -and- problem.
Joe, I do not know that partitioning tool so I do not know for sure it can
be trusted to safely shrink the ntfs partition on which your XP was
running. What should have happened if it did the right things is that when
you next booted XP, the XP bootloader would note the change in the
partition size and run chkdsk to check it out and then XP would load.
So here are a couple of questions:
1 - Did you reboot XP after resizing the partition but before installing
kubuntu (not requiredm but tell us so we know)
2 - When you say the 5th GRUB menu item (XP) does not work, what do you
mean. In other words, what does and does not happen. Is there any output
such as error messages. or ...?

Re: Looking for Router Suggestions
Be sure to look at the fine print. They are setting that router to work with a specific provider of what I think is dynamic DNS and offer special encryption at fee that can come to about $10/month.

Re: Opinions on Zorin OS (and a side order of Mint)
howtogeek.com has a number of articles about adding different desktops to Ubuntu and ubuntu supports you having as many as you want. Once you have selected one at the login screen, it will use that one until you change it. I did a demo for SLUG where I installed 10 or 12 desktops during the meeting and simply had to log out and back in the change between any of them (including MATE BTW). The only one that caused me any grief was XFCE and the only problem was that it changed the splash screen forever.

Re: OT: Is it possible to make a printer wireless?
Fry's has recently has both Samsung and Brother Network Laser printers for $70. I happen to know that only some of those have had built in wireless but some have. Personally I prefer Brother but that is because I have one and it has been a workhorse. Brother also has higher capacity toner cartridges. If you don't find one with wireless, get a cheap used wireless router for $20, configure it as a repeater or whatever to be the wireless client and plug the printer into one of the switch ports.

One other thing occurs. I have a server which usually runs headless. I occasionally see the server appear to lock up for a few minutes. It is also running Apache.

Re: OT Verizon Smart Phones
Actually, I rarely reboot my Android phone, have NEVER pulled my battery and have had better voice quality with both my Androids than with cell phones of the past. I had an HTC Incredible for two years and got a Motorola Droid Razr in February to go with 4G. The speakerphone on the Motorola is better, but I liked the software on the HTC better. My battery generally lasts 30-40 hours but I spend very little time actually talking on it. On Fri, Jun 22, 2012 at 9:08 AM, Eric Cope wrote: > I've been very happy with my iPhone 4.

Welcome. It sounds like you are well on your way. You would be welcome at our installfests and it sounds like you might enjoy them. I run them on the 1st and 3rd Saturday each month from 10am to 4pm and the University of Advance Technologies (about 3 blocks west of I-10 on Baseline Toad). FYI, there is a Free Software Stamtische (social event for Linux folk) Tuesday at 7pm at Iguana Macks down in Chandler. There is also an Ubuntu Hour coming up on 6/28 at 7pm at the Extream Bean in Tempe (SW corner of McClintock and Southern). For books, I am partial to Keir Thomas's works. For the rest (schools, certs, and career) I leave you in the hands of our professionals.

Re: small computer overview
I don't really have a use for any of them though I have a raspberry on order. That mostly because it is a cheap toy. That said I kind of have 3 favorites: - Raspberry Pi: a cheap toy that can be a great demo/eye catcher as well as be useful to some, a good learning experience for others, and a cheap gift for the right person. - Cotton Candy: Seems much more capable but at too high a price point to really peak my interest. Ignoring price, I would love to play with one. - Norhtec Gecko: Easily the most generic and capable at a reasonable price. One might think it too big since it is built in to a reasonable sized keyboard, but one would often carry a keybored for the others too. I suppose that if I had a need for something, this might well be my choice.

Re: Android file creation permissions
While I am totally unable to answer your question, there is an obvious question to ask you. Have you tried any OTHER text editor to see if it have the same problem or if the problem is isolated to Jotta (actually Jota I think)?

Re: ubuntu 12.04
Betty, Start by telling us about this computer (Brand, Model, CPU, memory, and video card or chip). It might also help to know HOW you tried to install 12.04. For example, did you use a LiveCD and if so, did it boot and work Live? Or did you maybe select Install from the opening menu thereby bypassing running it in Live mode. If you did manage to get to a command prompt, try lshw -short to get some of that information. Based on that kind of information, we have a better chance of helping. For example, if it is a Toshiba laptop, it is likely that using apci=off, noacpi, or nomodeset on the boot line will help On Sat, May 12, 2012 at 9:39 AM, betty wrote: > I tried to install 12.04lts on one of my computers and I can get the sign > in at the beginning, but after i sign in the screen goes to black, if i > click the mouse it goesto a reddish color then back to black.

Re: wireless stoped working
Its not a matter of time but of file size. Apparently gzip has (or had) some limitation it needed to honer before the file got to the limit.

Re: laptop battery cycling
Interestingly, I have access to a number of laptops. 3 of those are Lenovo G570 systems which came with Windows 7. There have a charger mode that turns of the charger at 80% (I think it is) and then turns it on when the battery gets down to ~40%. Unfortunately Ubuntu does not have such an option. And my Lenovo x220 does not seem to either, but it does shut off the charger when the battery reaches 100% whether the machine is on or not. As a general rule, I only plug in laptop chargers when needed or when I will have it on for a long period of time or don't want the hassle of constant screen dimming.

Re: wayland update
Very promising. X has ALWAYS been a resource pig although I have only disappointed in performance occasionally. My big aversion has been the lack of remote usage which has been in X forever. It looks like they are addressing that so I am happy even though it seems like a lot of work remains. I wonder if there are any plans for Wayland to support multiple displays like X (i.e. :0-3) or if that will be part of the mechanism to handle multiple monitors.

Re: Ubuntu 12.04 and unity.
MichaelB, what release are you running? I've installed something like 8 Desktop Managers (DMs) on my ubuntu 11.10. I did this for a presentation I did on installing additional DMs. The problems I've seen are a few extra programs installed for the lightweight DMs, I now get the xubuntu splash at some time in startup and shutdown regardless of which DM I actually use, and some of the DMs don't play well with older projectors. Cinnamon works great. This thread is really about 12.04 and I have not tried these things on 12.04.

Cool! I am glad it worked for you. I know I have done it in the past and I was pretty sure I used gparted to do it.

Re: gparted - how to move a partition?
- Select /dev/sda2 (the extended partition) and either maximize its size (it can only grow to the left) or move it to the left and then grow it to its maximum size (whichever gparted will let you do) - select /dev/sda5 and move it to the left - select /dev/sda6 and move it to the left - select /dev/sda7 and either maximize its size (it can only grow to the left) or move it to the left and then grow it to its maximum size By the way, I would Apply Changes after each step as a precaution. I've had much more success that way. On Sat, Mar 10, 2012 at 4:29 PM, wrote: > > Thanks for your response ... but I still don't understand > how to proceed.

Re: gparted - how to move a partition?
Hard to say exactly with the screenshot so fuzzy, but it appears you have selected the first partition INSIDE the extended/logical partition area. You can't move it to the left without first resizing the logical partition (presumably back to right after the exd of the only primatry position). Then you should be able to move the first partition in the extended space.

Re: Seeking a concise Linux installation checklist
Joe, Virtually all distros want a separate and specific partition for swap formatted as swap. Virtually all distros allow you to put everything else in a single partition although there are reasons why you might want to break that up into 2 or more partitions (and lots of people will give you differing advice. Personally, I choose to use one partition for / and the bulk of available space for /home. The above assumes you want to do your partitioning manually. While you could do that prior to installation, you can also do it during installation. If you do it prior to installation, please note that you will still need to specify how you are using the partitions (mount points) during the installation If you want to let the distro automatically do the partitioning, then you should not create any partitions prior to installation.

Re: New UPS
Yep, that is my experience as well. Back in the day, one needed to install
software on the OS to process those notifications. I believe [hope] some
of those are built-ins based on standards.
I know for sure that Ubuntu still has apcupsd in the repositories (and
still installed from my previous UPS) to support some? APC UPS devices and
powstatd for some Cyberpower units, one TrippLite model and "various older
APC units". There is also nut ("Network UPS Tools (NUT) is a client/server
monitoring system that allows computers to share uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) and power distribution unit (PDU) hardware. ").

Re: New UPS
The manufacturer states rather strongly that unplugging the UPS is a BAD way to test it since that also removes the ground circuit. So far, my best idea is to go out to the electrical box and flip the relevant circuit breaker off. The point though, is even that only tests the UPS. I would need to leave it off long enough for the UPS to request (via that USB cable) that the computer do an orderly shutdown which could take 30 minutes or more. And worse, I would not know if a non-event meant a failure on the part of the UPS signaling system or the Linux side not making use of the signal event since I still have no idea what to check for. I bring all this up because my last UPS failed to protect the computer so now I am paranoid about it.

New UPS
I just put in a replacement UPS (Tripp-Lite G1010USB) and connected the USB cable. I see that Ubuntu 10.04 does see it but I have no idea how to tell if it will actually pay attention if the UPS ever tells it to shut down. Short of a power failure, how can one know?

Re: remotely controlling your computer
Why do you always do things the hard way. No need to compile from source. In Linux one of the forms will be in your repository. For Windows, download the installer. But yes, the source will be quite small to download if you really want it. I would have no idea where to find the makefile and such as I have never had any reason to be concerned about the source.

Re: remotely controlling your computer
VNC is pretty handy for such things though you may need to set up VPN and SSH to do it securely from the internet (read the tutorials). It also has the benefit of being cross platform and the [dis-]advantage (depending on who you ask) of being primarily GUI based. There are several flavors of VNC: http://www.realvnc.com/ http://www.tightvnc.com/ http://www.uvnc.com/ At SLUG, we mostly use TightVNC but we are also using it within a LAN most of the time.

Re: What is the big deal with 64 bit processing?
It is very unlikely you would notice the difference resulting from the difference between 32 and 64 bit. At the same time, one could reasonably expect the 64 bit OS to be slightly slower except for tasks that need large amounts of data. There is also no real advantage in using a 64 bit OS on a machine that does not have 4 GB or more of memory.
