That was from last year.  Dell has stores in China that sell Ubuntu
directly, where you can't get a retail Dell machine in the US today that
has Ubuntu on it.[1]

The MS representatives believe that the reason Ubuntu is big in China is
because people are buying machines to pirate Windows.  Unfortunately
it's hard to prove that isn't the case (which is one of the reasons they
argue it).  So, in general, it's hard to say how big in this case, but
definitely from a visibility perspective it's much larger than in the
US.

Re: Linux in China?

2012-11-15 Thread Derek Trotter
It seems like someone in Redmond is grasping at straws.  WIndows boxes 
can copy M$ software, post it to usenet, download it from Usenet and 
burn it to disc.  It can also be shared using your favorite p2p software.

That was from last year.  Dell has stores in China that sell Ubuntu
directly, where you can't get a retail Dell machine in the US today that
has Ubuntu on it.[1]

The MS representatives believe that the reason Ubuntu is big in China is
because people are buying machines to pirate Windows.  Unfortunately
it's hard to prove that isn't the case (which is one of the reasons they
argue it).  So, in general, it's hard to say how big in this case, but
definitely from a visibility perspective it's much larger than in the
US.

What is different is all 50 states want to go their separate way.  Who will 
fight against it?  The President, his cabinet, the House, Senate, and the 
Supremes? 

This is different.  This is all the states against the federal government.  The 
federal government gets it's power from the people.  If the people withdraw, 
then there is not federal government.

The states created the federal government.  If all 50 states walk there is not 
federal government to fight to keep the 50 states together.

Re: Linux in China?

2012-11-15 Thread Lisa Kachold
There are a few problems with trying to get accurate Linux numbers:

1. Many Linux users dual-boot with Windows, so do they count as 1/2 a Linux
user? Or do they get counted twice (once for Linux, once for Windows)?

2. Linux doesn't have any sales figures for home users (and even for many
servers), unlike Mac OS X and Windows.

3. Many Linux users choose to mask or hide their online identities, either
for anonymity or to get proper functionality from certain Internet
Explorer-only websites.

4. Many Linux users have multiple computers (so does each computer owned
count as a Linux user or is that one person a Linux user?).

Perhaps we should create a massive [Chinese] spam campaign that installs a
bot-net to infect with http://sourceforge.net/projects/statix/ and track
Linux desktops?

Our concept of the culture of China and linux use is based entirely upon
our American consideration that every family (and individual) has a
personal computer.  In China, it's more common for only a small
percentage of the upper middle class families to have ONE  personal
phone, smartphone or tablet.

Computer *ownership* is now at about 4-5% of the worlds population. However
with many social projects putting computers in villages in developing
countries between 12-14% of the worlds population have access to a
computer. Approx 3-5 % of the worlds population have internet access.   To
put this into context only about 25% of the worlds population sleep in
their own bed at night and only about 30% of the worlds population are rich
enough to have a bank account!

 China's Internet population is touted to be 415.6 million. This figure
includes people who access the Web through Internet cafes or public
computers and smartphones.

Scientific and development based internet use (therefore much of Linux) is
strictly controlled in China.

W3Counter http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php has linux use as 1.8 %,
of course that's not China.

No, they're trying to discredit Ubuntu adoption in China by saying it
doesn't exist.  This makes it hard to go to people like ISVs and argue
there's a market for their software if they port it.  That, in turn,
reduces the number of people that can use Ubuntu because it doesn't
support the software that they need.  So, it is unfortunate, but yes I
don't think there is a reasonable way to count the number of users of
truly free software.

2012-11-15 Thread keith smith

Ok,  maybe I was not completely clear.  To stay on point, my statement was not 
about whether it was valid or about who was doing what.  

My point was IF all 50 states decided to secede then who will stop them and I 
was drawing a contrast between the Civil War and what potentially is going on 
today.

The Civil War was possible because there were states who seceded and there were 
states that stood with the Federal Government.  This is a much different 
situation.  IF and I say IF all 50 stated really decided to secede who can stop 
them?  That was my point.

I agree most people, to include myself, do not want to secede, however you must 
read between the lines.  This is a warning to the Federal Government to get 
inline with the Constitution or further action will be taken.

I call that statement bull crap.
Just because someone created a petition does not mean that all/most of the 
residents want to give up. 
Personally for a joke I could create a petition for those states that I don't 
like and then watch the fear-mongers start clicking yes.

This is different.  This is all the states against the federal government.  The 
federal government gets it's power from the people.  If the people withdraw, 
then there is not federal government.

The states created the federal government.  If all 50 states walk there is not 
federal government to fight to keep the 50 states together.  


Very different.

I'll second that. :)  Take away my motivation/reward to do more than I need
to and guess what... I'll stop.   Health care is expensive mostly because
of governmental regulations/bureaucracy.  If I created a medical device
that would magically cure cancer guess what my odds would be of getting it
in the hands of a Doctor legally?  Almost zero unless I had enough money to
grease the way.  If they wanted to make healthcare affordable they'd band
all of the governmental agencies in the world that act as gatekeepers into
one partnership and once a drug/device is in it's in for everywhere *and
vice versa.*
Our federal government somehow took the power that was supposed to reside
in the states and the people using the commerce clause (and because they
got away with it enough to make it 'normal').  They take money from one
state and give it to another with strings attached to maintain their
power... then of course if you look at our money itself it's not based on
anything tangible and the Federal Govt can have the Federal reserve print
money whenever they need more.  I'd rather pay ALL of my taxes to AZ and
let AZ decide how much it can give to the Federal Govt. Not that it'll ever
happen.

Using antivirus software is recommended, however many desktop users will be
surprised to learn that they are actually part of a botnet transmitting
virus or other information.  A good check would include all packet traffic

2012-11-14 Thread Dazed_75
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.

  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 rbr...@ime.usp.br  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.

 Mike, most programs have an option to display the version.  According to

 look for a different package to download youtube videos which have better

First, unless you update your packages list (if using synaptic its 'reload db' 
or something) you will NEVER know if a newer package is out there.

 

Second, I use those firefox (and mumble mumble (seamonkey? And other)) browser 
plugins.  DTA (down them all), ant, and something else.  They've worked fine

Third, 2006 seems REALLY old for something like this.  Indeed, if you go to

Don't understand the 2006 reference other than as un un-updated reference
in a text file.  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.  And, yes, that may well be the
real answer to the different experiences here.

Re: OT: Time for substantive change.

2012-11-14 Thread keith smith


I've been watching this and a number of other issues unfold over that last 4 or 
5 days.  We definitely live in interesting times.  

I whole heatedly agree we need to fix our relationship with the federal 
government, and believe me I would love to secede, however I think it might be 
destructive in the end.

My main concern is the US may be what is keeping the world from self 
destructing.  If we break into 50 different countries, we lose that strength.  
For instance what happens to all the nukes we have all over the planet?  What 
about our navy what happens to it?

I propose the 50 states create an alliance to nullify anything the federal 
government does that is not constitutional.  This is lawful and we have the 
right under the 10th Amendment.  

We can start by requiring all taxes sent to the federal government go through 
the states.  The states should hold back 80% of it.

I would guess everyone thinks the federal government is out of control.  If we 
stand together we can do this.  Remember the states created the federal 
government not the other way around.    

The 10th Amendment:  The powers not delegated to the United States by the 
Constitution, nor 
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively,
 or to the people.

I agree about this not being a place to discuss politics.  Correct me if

discussion of issues dealing with linux.


Also no matter who you vote for, you'll end up with a collection of 
crooked politicians.


Lists dedicated to discussing politics can easily be turned into a 
collection of flame wars.


If you want to talk about politics, call Barry Young in the morning or 
Mike Broomhead in the afternoon.  That's what they're paid for.

Re: Hard Drive Recovery

2012-11-13 Thread kitepi...@kitepilot.com

This is what I've done in the past:
Seal the HD inside a plastic bag in the driest environment you can find.
Leave it overnite in the freezer (there are other opinions, I'm just stating 
what/how has worked for me)
Have a puter ready and much better if you can hot-plug the thing. 

Have enough space for the FULL drive and get ddrescue or dd-rescue (they 
*ARE* different, and I have to research it every time). 

Lite candles, do your prayers, find you a goat to sacrifice, pull the HD out 
of the plastic bag, wrap it in paper towel in case you get some condensation 
and go for it.  Sometimes I keep it super-cool wrapped around some of those 
freezing gels.  I have never used dry ice but I have thought about it.  The 
explanation has to do with some internal tolerances being reduced to the 
point that it temporarily functions.  I try to disturb the drive as little 
as possible during the copy.  All this may be just VooDoo and sorcery, but 
again, it has worked for me.

YMMV...

If spam is the problem, a better mail server can be the solution. 
Running your own mail server isn't nearly as complicated as it used to be.


QmailToaster (http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com) with spamdyke is a very good 
combination. Spamdyke rejects 90+% of spam without even receiving (or 
scanning) the message. The sanesecurity extensions to clamav catch the 
lion's share of phishing attempts. With this setup, I get 1 spam per day.

Known spammers got some huge delay (I think I finally ended up with 24

seconds (or maybe I made it zero, I don't remember).

So non spammers got either zero or minimal delay.

If I can remember, I'll see if I still have that config file somewhere,
cause now you got me curious!

I should mention that there IS one 'small' downside - if you get ALL
your internet sockets tied up with spammers then you cannot receive (or
send) email (or do anything else network-related until one of the
sockets frees up).  I don't think I ever hit that limit, but then I only

Re: Cannot remove a widget

2012-11-13 Thread Brian Cluff
Thats too inefficient and will give a lot more output than you want. 
Since we already know the name of the package it came in, we can narrow 
down what files to look at greatly by doing:

dpkg -L plasma-widgets-addons | grep -i timer

That will simply list just the files in the package and then grep out 
anything that matched timer (case insensitive, just to cover our butts).

Re: Cannot remove a widget

2012-11-13 Thread Brian Cluff
For packaged items that you really want to make it go away and not come 
back you can do this:
dpkg-divert --rename --add 
/usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-timer.desktop

dpkg-divert --rename --add /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_timer.so

For widgets, they will immediately disappear from the system, there is 
not need to reboot, or even so much as log out.
That will add a diversion to the package system so that it moves the 
offending files out of the way that timer needs to run.  The diversion 
will persist till you tell it to stop diverting the files, so new 
versions of the package will also have the timer files moved out of the 
way automagically and will not make the timer widget come back.


To stop the diversion just run:
dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_timer.so
dpkg-divert --rename --remove 
/usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-timer.desktop


And everything will be as it was.

If it is working, it is a derivative of this or another bug.  I would

If I go to tools/preferences/audio/output module and change it
from to default to alsa or pluseaudio, audio will be distorted. 
However the audio does resume after I pause playback.  I can try

different settings and the audio always starts distorted, but
sometimes clears up after a few seconds.  When I get the

If I go to tools/preferences/audio/output module and change it
from to default to alsa or pluseaudio, audio will be distorted. 
However the audio does resume after I pause playback.  I can try

different settings and the audio always starts distorted, but
sometimes clears up after a few seconds.  When I get the
distorted audio there seems to be a delay after pressing pause
and before the audio stops.   Sometimes I notice an echo in
addition to the distortion.

Re: Cannot remove a widget

What is the widget name and installation instructions?

For instance, this widget is installed with an apt-get command and some
custom editing, therefore an apt-get remove will uninstall it?

Re: Cannot remove a widget

2012-11-12 Thread Brian Cluff

Are you sure you are looking at the correct plasmoid?

I just installed a widget and the one I installed shows an uninstall 
button when I hover the mouse over it.


You can also do cashew - addwidgets - get new widgets - download 
new widgets
Then under oder by select Installed.  Everything you have installed 
should how up there with a coresponding uninstall button.


While looking in the widgets list I noticed that I also have timer by
Davide Bettio.  But mine was installed via normal packages.  I suspect 
you got yours the same way, so it's most likely another widget that you 
are trying to get rid of.


If you really want to get rid of it you can uninstall the package 
kdeplasma-addons

But be warned that it will also remove the following widgets:

Binary Clock
Black Board
Bookmarks
Bouncy Ball
Bubblemon
Calculator
Character Selector
Color Picker
Comic Strip
Dictionary
Eyes
Fifteen Puzzle
File Watcher
Fuzzy Clock

Hmm,  Yes it is the right one.  But If read you correctly, you're saying 
it is a standard widget included on everyone's install. Correct?  I 
added so many I may have confused it with one (I) added.




THANKS!   Explains why there's no un-install

Lisa, I think I'm dealing with a different bug.  When I resume play of a 
paused video, the  video plays, but I get no audio.  If I resume play of 
an audio file, the slider moves, and the counter starts counting, but I 
get no sound.


If I go to tools/preferences/audio/output module and change it from to 
default to alsa or pluseaudio, audio will be distorted. However the 
audio does resume after I pause playback.  I can try different settings 
and the audio always starts distorted, but sometimes clears up after a 
few seconds.  When I get the distorted audio there seems to be a delay 
after pressing pause and before the audio stops.   Sometimes I notice an 
echo in addition to the distortion.

Re: OT: How to attach an image as a link?

2012-11-10 Thread Ed
Joe - you want to sent HTML email - embed (not attach) the image like
any website and then add the link - make sure to add some javascript
just for fun too (just kidding)

make sure your email works in a text only world too - many, including
myself consider HTML email an abomination/security problem and
routinely have email servers strip that crap off at the front door -
others dump the whole email into the spam box.

it would be a shame to spend all this time designing the email, just
to make it undeliverable - you might consider attaching your card as a
vCard, that would be more useful.

Re: OT: How to attach an image -- Thanks

2012-11-10 Thread joe

Thanks, Ed.  I agree with your assessment of html email
and I use text email almost exclusively; but I was just
hoping to find a way to do what I described.

So, what is a vcard and how could I use it to achieve
the described objective?

 Joe - you want to sent HTML email - embed (not attach) the image like
 any website and then add the link - make sure to add some javascript
 just for fun too (just kidding)

 make sure your email works in a text only world too - many, including
 myself consider HTML email an abomination/security problem and
 routinely have email servers strip that crap off at the front door -
 others dump the whole email into the spam box.

 it would be a shame to spend all this time designing the email, just
 to make it undeliverable - you might consider attaching your card as a
 vCard, that would be more useful.

 argh! I can't believe I'm enabling this just attach a vCard, that
 would actually be useful

vCard is the abbreviation for Virtual Business Card (.vcf file), the
standard for creating and sharing contact information over the Internet.
you can send a contact to another person by forwarding it in vCard format.
A recipient who uses an email and personal information manager program that
supports vCards, such as Entourage, can open the vCard and add the contact
to his or her address book.

exactly, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard

or, go to your contact manager (like evolution) in the address book
select your own entry - right click and Save as vCard. Other apps may
do same thing by way of export - before you attach it to your
signature, look at it in a regular editor (vi gedit etc) and you will
see that it is the kind of file that could be hand edited. at least
for the first couple dozen once attached to your signature, or
individual email, those getting your email will be able to easily save
your contact information into their addressbook

on a web page you would use a microformat called hCard to achieve the
same level of automation - or better make your own FOAF entry
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HCard

vCards can also be expressed as QRcodes and many smart phones will do
the smart thing with them. or look for ZBar to read them from your PC

that reminds me - I should visit vistaprint soon - thx Ed

Re: HP locking up

2012-11-09 Thread Dazed_75
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.

 I don't see anything to give me any definite clues.  But here are a couple
 of questions that might yield a clue:

1. Has this machine sat unused and not plugged in for any length of
time (could be the CMOS battery is dead/dieing)?

  I bought it in January and used it every day since then.  When it was a
 windows box, I would have it running for several days at a time doing my
 usenet harvesting.




1. When the machine is locked up, can you do Ctrl-Alt-F2 and get a
console (Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back to the GUI)?

  I can't do anything with it.  I can't get to a console.  I can ping it
 when it's working normally, but when it locks up it doesn't respond to
 pings or anything else.  When it locks up it stops everything.  If I'm
 watching a movie on it when it locks up, the audio stops and the last frame
 is on the screen until I push the power button long enough for the machine
 to turn it off.   I have it and the other box plugged into a netgear
 router.  There's a light on the front of it for each computer that's
 plugged into it.  When I download using this machine, it's light on the
 router blinks.  When the machine locks up, it's light stops blinking.

 Also I opened it up and checked for dust bunnies.  There was a little
 dust, but not enough to cause any problems.  Today I opened a terminal and
 sensors -f.  I get results that vary between 40 and 60F.  I do believe I'm
 not getting an accurate reading because it's not that old in here.  Also I
 shut the machine down and checked the heat sink for the processor.  It
 wasn't even warm.



1. What, exactly, do you mean by locking up?  More specifically, can
you be sure that the machine is locked up or could it just be the display?
One way to test that theory is to ssh into the machine from another machine
and run some application that does updates like top or htop, or a looping
script displaying the time every few seconds.  If the machine seems to lock
up but the remote machine still shows ongoing changes, then it is not the
whole machine locking up.

 knew when it would lock up.  Sometimes it would run all night without any
 problems.  Other times it would lock up a few minutes after I rebooted it
 the last time it locked up.  Sometimes the image on the monitor would just
 freeze.  Other times the monitor would go to a background of either blue or
 gray with thin vertical lilnes.  I upgraded to Kubuntu 12.10 64 bit and it
 was a little more reliable.  Once it locked up and when I rebooted it, the
 sound card no longer worked.

 Is there some bug with this machine? Is there some problem with ubuntu?
  I'm wondering because last year my other computer behaved similarly. I
 posted the problem to this list and someone told me my problem was a
 defective nvidia card.  They made a bunch of chips that didn't get along

 believe 8.04.

 Any help will be apreciated.

I just got the beast rebooted after doing so.  The progress indicator 
got to 44% when the bottom  of the screen turned red and numbers started 
scrolling so fast they were a blur.  So I'm guessing the several million 
errors it found before I rebooted it just might have something to do 
with it.  So I'll send off for another stick of RAM.  Then I'll use the 
old one as something to put on the keyring.


Thanks for the suggestions folks.

Spam control? (was RE: virus)

2012-11-09 Thread Carruth, Rusty
Some time back I thought the best solution would be to form a co-op.  Members 
of the co-op would run some sort of program to detect spammers, and then join 
together in a DOS attack on the spammer's MTA.  Detection should be pretty 
easy, I'd think, with minimal false positives.

When I thought of that, it wasn't illegal.  It is now, so I've dropped thinking 
about it, but it would have reduced the spam.  Of course, the collateral damage 
(to clueless users whose machines had been 0wn3d, as a minimum) would have been 
pretty high, and I'm not sure they would have been able to figure out why their 
systems broke down.  Probably would have required a pretty big education 
program, as it were, to get people to either (1) stop using the primary virus 
propagator of the universe (I am, of course, referring to a certain operating 
system); (2) get off the internet; or, (3) keep their virus scanners up to 
date.  Assuming, of course, that most spam comes from 0wn3d machines.  Not sure 
that's a valid assumption.

I've tried running that thing that keeps spammers busy trying to deliver the 
email (tarpit?  I cannot remember - the idea is you keep telling unknown MTAs 
'hold on a moment' for a while - say an hour or more, thus keeping their 
delivery rate low.  I should mention that at home I run my own MTA, so it was 
an option for me.  Anybody using their ISP's MTA (or gmail, or...) cannot do 
this).  The problem is that you need a LOT of people running that for it to do 
much good in spam reduction overall, and I don't' know if it reduced mine (but 
it was satisfying to look at the headers and see that couple of hour delay).  

I finally gave up and just kept changing my email address (and I also used the 
spam detector in my email program).

RE: Spam control? (was RE: virus)

2012-11-09 Thread Carruth, Rusty
As I remember (but remember whose memory we are talking about :-) -

I had 3 lists - those known to be spammers, those known to be ok, and
anybody else.  (Ok, so the 'anybody else' wasn't actually a LIST, it was
anybody not in the first 2 lists)

Known spammers got some huge delay (I think I finally ended up with 24
hours!), known safe senders got zero delay, and unknown got a few
seconds (or maybe I made it zero, I don't remember).

So non spammers got either zero or minimal delay.

If I can remember, I'll see if I still have that config file somewhere,
cause now you got me curious!

I should mention that there IS one 'small' downside - if you get ALL
your internet sockets tied up with spammers then you cannot receive (or
send) email (or do anything else network-related until one of the
sockets frees up).  I don't think I ever hit that limit, but then I only
do email for my family...

I too read frustration and sarcasm in his post

It did remind me of one linux operator that got tired of rogue machines 
probing his linux box trying to infect it with windows exploits. One in 
particular, that I can't remember now.


He wrote a script that targeted that particular exploit and would infect 
the machine attacking him and actually clean the exploit off the 
infected machine and then remove itself.


Even so, it was illegal for him to do that, but I do wish someone would 
allow this kind of script to clean up all the infected machines.

Hello All!

  I too read frustration and sarcasm in his post

 It did remind me of one linux operator that got tired of rogue machines
 probing his linux box trying to infect it with windows exploits. One in
 particular, that I can't remember now.

 He wrote a script that targeted that particular exploit and would infect
 the machine attacking him and actually clean the exploit off the infected
 machine and then remove itself.

 Even so, it was illegal for him to do that, but I do wish someone would
 allow this kind of script to clean up all the infected machines.


That's an interesting response, however fraught with consequences.

First year computer science students are often asked, as flow charting
exercise, to model ethics in society.  Golden Rule, Turn the Other Cheek,
Hit Back with a Bigger Hammer, are all modeled into a virtual society.
 Interestingly in this exercise, which do you think was found to be most
successful?

Yes, it is Hit Back with a Bigger Hammer

Of course, the only part that was not modeled was the consequences of the
law, assuming that if there was no law available to resolve the problem,
there would be no consequences.

There are things that can be done with regards to various types of scammers:

1) These scams can be reported to various authorities:

2) Tracking via cookies

Setting tracking cookies in response email can provide additional
information related to the end source.   Many people will be surprised to
learn they are actually originating in the US but hopscotching to other
countries to reduce the chances of their arrest.

3) Depending on the scam, scam the scammers (aka scambaiting):

There are various discussions of how to straddle that thin grey line
between joining the criminal and staying in the solution.

 Not a prudent approach. What goes around comes around.
