 Hi list,

 I am looking to buy Arduino board from reseller here in Australia that
 accept direct debits. I've found only Littlebird electronics which does not
 accept dd :( Any idea/s?

I think this would be offtopic for this list. : 
Right?

If someone does know any other shop besides LB electronics, please let me 
know. Thinking of starting to play around it a bit in my spare time. :)

cheers

KDE Help Center does not open -- gives error

2008-07-22 Thread Peter Williams
Hi Fellow Ubuntu ppl, *SMILE*

I have noticed that 2 different applications which use the KDE Help Center
when I attempt to open the Help Handbook (e.g. open the Help / Handbook
pull-down menu) I get a error message in a window with an OK button {which
closes the message window}

I have used the Synaptic Package Manager and re-installed the KDE Help
Center -- but the error still occurs.

Error message window:

Could not launch the KDE Help Center:

Could not find service 'khelpcenter'

[OK] {button}

What is the best way for me to go about getting the KDE Help Center to work
again. Note that in the past it HAS worked, but something has broken it
:-(((

z600 driver for a Lexmark printer.

2008-07-22 Thread The Wassermans
I have loaded and installed z600 driver which variuos sources assure me
will drive my Lexmark x1195 printer.

http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-X1195 says
it will work perfectly.

SystemAdministrationprinters Sees both the printer and the z600
driver.  I have configured and re-configured the printer carefully
following the prompts.

But when it comes to actually printing . . nothing happens.

Is there anyone out there who has a working Lexmark of similar specs?

This is my last option.  After that I will have to go out and buy an HP
or Epsom and finished.

Utilities wanted please

2008-07-22 Thread The Wassermans
I am a new Ubuntu user still trying to ditch the vestiges of my
dependence on Windows.

There are a few very useful utilities that I will miss very dearly if I
can't replace them with a Linux equivalent:-

*A keyboard generated macro which is very useful for inputting certain
strings of text. This utility allows me to input repetitive information
such as Credit Card numbers, Email addresses on the fly. (AutoHotkey is
only for Windows but it's exactly what I need)

*A utility that allows me to monitor CPU temperature and CPU fan speed.

*A utility that lists installed Hardware information by make and model.
