All these old kernels...
Hi folks. I have a whole bunch of old and obsolete kernels on my hard drive and every time there comes a new kernel my /boot/grub/menus.lst gets updated and ofcourse then includes all my old and obsolete kernels, so i have to go in and trim down the menu.lst file by hand so that i can use my dual boot with not so much down arrowing. What i would like to know is, is there a way in Ubuntu to delete the old kernels that i no longer need so that only new kernels get used and so that the menu.lst doesn't get updated and gets longer and longer? If i could start gnome, which i can't due to a mistake from me, i could probably hand-delete the kernels or something like that but i wonder if there are other more safe methods to remove old kernels.

Weird upgrading problem
Hey all, I was trying to upgrade my Feisty to the latest version this morning when to my surprice i encountered a strange little problem. I noticed that the upgrading procedure, (made with the command aptitude dist-upgrade) had stopped so i went to check the screen and there was a dialog that said: Configuring X11Common Incorrect nice value Please enter an integer between -20 and 19. Well, here comes the strange part because there was no edit box to fill in the value in, and typing numbers on the keyboard didn't give any result, the only keys that worked were spacebar and enter key and they only produced the same dialog. Fortunately this is Linux, so there must be a text file that can be altered in some way. What file has the config settings for X11-common and if there isn't a text file after all, what if anything can i do in order for things to install as normal and do you want me to provide any other info?

Mounting Windows partitions/discs from Gnome in Feisty?
Hi, I'm almost embarrased to ask this, because i think it was discussed a couple weeks ago, but i have just recently gotten Feisty to work so i ask this question now. I can see .desktop files in the Computer folder in Gnome that point to my windows partitions, one with VFat and the other with Ntfs on them, however when i try to open them nothing happens and when i try mounting them the same result occurr. I open them as user, not root. What am i missing and if there's a setting, where could i adjust it? I managed to open the windows disk once, that is that's what i thought i did, but i landed in my Linux file system.

Re: getting updates need info
Hi Mike and others. I don't have any answer to the first question, however i think i know why users groups no longer work. It seems as when you want to add/manipulate users and groups in Feisty, you now need to be root to do this, and the speech following while switching users still doesn't seem to work. In Edgy there was a workaround for that, you could simply get out in a text terminal and killall -9 orca, however in Feisty when you try doing this you're logged out of Gnome and are back on the login prompt. This is also true when a bug buddy appears that you can't see and you try restarting at-spi registryd and orca to get at the dialog. To the developers or other gurus, is this a known problem, should one file a bug against something on this? Has this already been done? /Krister mike coulombe wrote: Hi, I am using feisty.

Can't start gnome in Feisty - the saga continues
Hi folks. Well, i will try to describe the problem i'm having as far as i can remember. I have a horrible memory for syntax, error messages in detail and other geek and non-geek jargon but i'll try as best as i can. When i'm at the login prompt of Ubuntu Feisty and have typed my username and password, the system obviously tries to start because my hard drive snorts but after a little while it stops and nothing further happens. When pressing enter i got back to the login prompt. I had a sighted friend look at the screen but the only thing he saw were a couple of empty windows. I thought it wasn't the at-spi bug mentioned here on the list, but further investigations showed that it had something to do with the accessibility structure because it complained that at-spi-registryd wasn't started at the start of the session. Ok, i thought, so let's try the older At-spi thingy then. I did so, but the problem still was there. The only exeption is that now i don't return to the login prompt after pressing Enter anymore. When turning off all accessibility flags, everything seems to work as normal and Gnome starts up as it should. Anyone has any suggestions as to what to do? Is there some package one should look for? I'm thankful for any help. Oh, btw, i should perhaps mention that the error occurred after dist-upgrading from Edgy to Feisty. /Krister -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

The eSpeak maintainer says that he is happy to create new basic language sets, but needs help from native speakers to improve them and actually make them usable. Most of this work does not involve programming or audio mixing, but merely altering language definition files. So if you speak one of the languages listed in the wiki, please test the quality of the voice and give some feedback on what might be improved. As we go we can help each other figure out the workings of the eSpeak language definition files. This project is important for several reasons: - First of all we should strive to provide local language support in spoken form to as many people as possible. Universal Access is both about infrastructure and tools as well as language. - The live CD currently ships with some of worlds most spoken languages by default in the form of localised desktop and application interfaces. It would be great if we had the corresponding voices available as well. - This represents a fairly simple non-coding way of contributing to Ubuntu Accessibility So if you can spare some time but don't do programming this is a great way to contribute! - Local promotion -- It would be much easier to promote Ubuntu and Free Software to local visual impairment communities if we had native speech support. In places where commercial offerings are poor it's a killer feature!

You are right, Will, it seems to be Gnome-panel that acts up. The problem got solved when i installed the regular, not the cvs version of Orca. Too bad, because i really loved the way the users and groups bug was solved. The only thing that didn't work, was that Orca didn't anounce the changed status of the check box when pressing the space bar, otherwise it worked fine, but i can't use it, since something goes wrong between orca and gnome-panel. /Krister Willie Walker wrote: Hi Krister: I'm going to guess this is gnome-panel crashing.

Re: idea for the installer
Hi folks, I don't think the problem is the installer being accessible or not, at least in Ubuntu, the graphical installer works very well, at least if you have a hard drive dedicated to Linux. The thing that can be tricky, or rather that is tricky is that speecha and braille don't follow when you switch to being a root user from a regular user. You'll have to kill Orca as a regular user and then start it again as root, and this can sometimes cause problems. What would be good was if there was a way to smoothly switch speech with the user so that one could switch users without losing assistive technology and i think this is being worked on. Please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. /Krister On Wed, 2006-09-27 at 09:38 +0300, Veli-Pekka Tätilä wrote: mike coulombe wrote: but if there is a real problem getting orca to work with the install program. How about a automatic installer. snip I think that's a great idea especially for newbies who do want to go with the defaults. About the only setting I changed myself was the locale FInland that is. Based on that a smart installer should be able to figure out my time zone and keyboard, although there might not be a 1to1 mapping for all the other countries. I've heard there might already be an automated deployment system for Debian, which is called I believe automated install (kickstart in Redhat). I've never used the thing, though. It would be even better if the user could customize the setup. HACking some well commented config file to do that might be an acceptable alternative similarly to apps like doxygen for C plus plus programmers or the HTML Tidy manual and config file for Web authors. Personally, you guessed it, I would rather do this via some GUI preferably mirroring that of the installer as much as is practical. The only OS in which I've done that myself and really liked it was Win98, though. For Windows users, and I guess most people are switching from windows due to the dominance and long-term development of apps like Jaws, Eloquence and Zoom Text, there's another catch. That is you cannot generally make a good accessible Windows GUI with Linux GUis like TK or GTK, or at least I've never seen any. Maybe a cross platform solution with ports to various OSes and GUI libs, if the users would like to do this customization before they boot to the OS. Or some console affair written with a GUI screen readre friendly text mode and ANSI C. AS to what's GUI reader friendly, little or no ASCII graphics and using the standard cursor or something that's at least shaped like a vertical bar for easy tracking. Or if the live CD approach is prevalent, one could do this customization in some specialty distro. Maybe it would fit on most USB sticks and you could at the very least easily write out the changes on some removable media. On the other hand, if the live CD could be made to speak the installer, most people who don't have to deploy Linux on multiple machines, could just as well use the speaking installer directly. Regarding the defaults, if this is specific to folks needing accessibility, I think the settings should reflect that. For ages I've been wishing for a LInux distro that just worked in terms of accessibility. SOmething with as many CLI and GUI readers, multi-lingual speech synths and accessible versions (GTK2 or self-voicing) as is practical. Too bad the Oralux project hasn't advanced all that much. I think it would be great if Gnome had the assistive technology support enabled by default. I cannot see why it already doesn't, in fact, unless accessibility is a major performance or stability hit. OS X has the right attitude in this, in that a user can just start using Voice Over, and when he or she does that, speech, full keyboard access and the accessibility API just works. In other words, no need to configure anything. Besides, configuring is difficult for many if you don't have speech or at least good full-screen magnification preferrably with font smoothing (for truetype stuff). -- With kind regards Veli-Pekka Tätilä ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Accessibility, game music, synthesizers and programming: http://www.student.oulu.fi/~vtatila/ -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
