Ubuntu-AU Brisbane Release Party - with photos!

2011-05-01 Thread Jared Norris
Good morning/afternoon/evening Ubuntu-AU'ers,

After pestering everyone else to let us know how their release party went I
thought I'd write you all a quick note to let you know how the Brisbane
release party went on Saturday afternoon.

Thanks to everyone who came along and enjoyed the pancakes (or just the
company), it was good to see some real people instead of names on emails or
IRC nicknames on screens. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say the food
was delicious. The Macadamia pancakes adorned with cream, ice cream and
maple syrup was not so great for my diet but still worth it all the same. We
were able to talk about all things Ubuntu, all things computers and play
around with all our different android and Ubuntu devices. It was great to
see a good mix of people from all different backgrounds able to enjoy
socialising over Ubuntu. Thanks to Christian for taking some photos (I had
my camera there but I'm a poor shot so as soon as someone else started
snapping I was breathing a little easier) and with his permission I have
uploaded them to flickr and added them to the Ubuntu-AU group available at
[1]. I've put a note on my mug but I didn't want to do this for everyone
without their permission so feel free to add a note for yourself so we can
see who everyone is.

I look forward to hearing how everyone else's release parties went.

Re: Sincere apologies - Perth release party

 To Jared and everyone who may have turned up for the Perth release party
 I'd like to offer my sincere apology. I was working today and my work
 vehicle chose to follow Murphys law and pick the worst possible time to not
 start. I was packing up and about to head back to base then to the cafe at
 3pm when I turned the key and heard nothing. The battery was stone dead and
 I wasn't going anywhere. Finally 3 hours later at 6pm the boss finally came
 out to where I was with a new battery and got me going again.

 If anyone in Perth would like a cd with Ubuntu 11.04 desktop i386 burnt to
 it mailed to them contact me and I'll drop it in the post for you. I have 6
 discs that I burnt for the release party that may as well go to a good home.

These things always happen at the worst times don't they. Did anyone else
make it to the cafe for the party (I'm in Brisbane so went to the Brisbane
one)?

RE: Evolution E-Mail

2011-05-01 Thread Peter Goggin
I followed the instructions and restarted evolution.. In the bottom bar
of the screen it says 
writing State.ini
Does this give any clue ?
 
The program sits there with this message and nothing else happens.

Peter,
 
Apologies for not getting back to you sooner, has been a pretty busy
weekend :)
 
Looks like you may have some left over files from an old Evolution data
migration.
 
Let's start by scrapping the old stuff (the files in ~/.evolution) and
seeing what happens (don't worry, we'll keep a back up of them til we
work it out).
 
So, from the terminal:
 
mkdir ~/evobackup
mv ~/.evolution ~/evobackup
 
Start evolution again and see what happens..  If it starts, check to see
if all your expected data is there..  If it's not.  We'll take the next
step.
 
Jared

Cool, ordered.

That should save me 700Mb of bandwidth for this month

I've been downloading betas and other distros  :-(
