Re: Mounting Floppies
Just check to see if you have the following, ls /media cdrom cdrom0 floppy floppy0 The following are symlinks, cdrom floppy, they just point to the directories ending in 0. If there isn't a floppy/floppy0 just create them (as superuser) then see if you can mount the floppy. My desktop is floppy(less!) So I'm not 100% sure if this will fix the problem. My server was installed using ubuntu server edition (8.10) and these directories/symlink were created on install. sent from my Telstra NEXTG™ handset -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

I have a HP c4480, I believe this is the model above from the one you have (or its replacement) I have no issues using any of the functions. Can you try 2 things... 1. open your web browser and type in 'localhost:631' this is the CUPS interface and see if your printer is listed there and that its on line etc... 2. if their are multiple entries for the printer remove them all and then plug it in again to see if that may remedy the situation.

Who knows? It seems to be ok when it was built via Nero. I guess my questions to you are: Do I have to partition drives? If I do can I use any drive or must it be the c drive? presents problems if this is the case as I have a ton of spare space another drives but not so much on my c drive. I have looked at the log of the load (wubi .log) and I see no errors on the 64 machine but I do so errors on the 32 bit machine. So to keep it simple can we just deal with the easiest one for now.

Can we just back track a little... When the Eee PC is powered up is the blue LED active? if not then the wireless card has been disabled with the FN + F2 key combination. Also as previously mentioned, double check the BIOS to ensure that the wireless is enabled (default is not enabled) As for the make of the chip for the wireless is an Atheros type. I have 2 Eee 701SD here, both using Lucid netbook edition and the wireless is working just fine!

So I'm hoping that when you did your backup, you included this directory! So if you did, then once you have Gramps installed you can then copy that hidden directory into your home directory.

I've been thinking about the applicability of state-based LoCos as well. Assuming even population spread between states, and an identical per-capita take-up of Ubuntu between .au and .us (both highly flawed assumptions), .us has 309 million persons (very rough figure from Wikipedia) in 50 states, or approximately one LoCo per 6,180,000 persons. A per-state LoCo would give .au (22 million persons in 8 states - we'll count ACT NT as states), or approximately one LoCo per 2,750,000 persons. This is not really that different, and i wonder whether it wouldn't be more practical in terms of co-ordination and the like. Paul It's a bit of a catch 22 either way, I had thought along similar lines but I think there would be a bit of a struggle to get sufficient numbers to make it work and remain working beyond initial set up However I still believe that there should be a structure of sorts, but the pros cons for me presently have me a bit muffed at it all and so while I'm thinking like this I'll most likely be a fence sitter (no helpful I know!)

Lets revise and regroup
Ok as most of you would be aware the current status of the ubuntu-au loco. As a result of this news there has been some pointers on how to path the way forward to regain the loco status. This gives us the opportunity to review the current plan of how the loco was being run to now how it will be run in the future. At this point I ask for all ego's and anger to be left at the door, if you feel that you can't do this then maybe you need to review your status within the loco group as a whole, after all we all need to get along to move forward. The last round of debate about how a potential structure could be implemented ended in a way that simply proved (to me) that the current people in charge of the loco were not up for new suggestions or change. This is the first failing of the loco, we have to evolve as the time changes or you end up with a stale non-motivated group. So where to go from here ? Clearly there has been little change in the organisational structure since the loco was first approved. This needs to change and I believe that all rolls should be on a rotational basis, meaning that there should be equal opportunity for all to have a turn. So what are the current rolls that people have assigned to them? how active are they in this roll?/how long have they had this roll? I should state at this point I believe that all positions should be declared open! The rotational system that I'm suggesting should last for a period of 1 year (can be reviewed if this doesn't work) and that all that have singed the ubuntu CoC are entitled to participate. Should one person not have ubuntu membership (will be required for the loco contact) then as a group we should work together to help that person gain it. Essentially we need to work as a team not as individuals... So can we expand on this plan and see where it can take us? all debate is welcome ;-) Scott Evans VK7HSE Phone: +61362291658 Mobile: +61417586157 Skype: vk7hse sc...@vk7hse.hobby-site.org http://www.vk7hse.hobby-site.org PGP/GPG Key ID 2B8CA152 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Re: Lets revise and regroup
I believe you are flogging a dead horse. Well yes I may be, but I still wish to try... A while ago now, I first heard the phrase the vocal minority, I thought it was pretty clever at the time. Now it gets used whenever a groups leadership is challenged. You see, apparently ubuntu-au locos downfall wasn't the responsibility of the leadership, but the fault of the vocal minority. But you won't find that said anywhere logged. Well this is possible however I feel that the for a group to exist there needs to be healthy discussion, this has been lacking within the -au team for some time. As was clearly the case with Andrews proposal, some were very quick to criticise but not put up an alternative to discuss, instead chose to simply attempt to make the whole debate a slanging match. This is why I believe the whole process broke down. If you speak up, you are labeled a vocal minority, a trouble maker, someone to watch out for, a kook. Well I have been called a lot worse over the years! ;-) It's coded, been down for years, let it rest in peace. No lets attempt to make something worthy of it so the previous work has essentially not all been for nothing.

Well IMHO all this could be much easier sorted if the default behaviour of the mailing list was set-up to reply to the list instead of the individual. This is why most simply use reply-to-all option because the action of reply goes direct to the poster thus then whatever one has to say is only seen by the originator of a thread.

Re: Governance Structure Proposal for Ubuntu-AU
I think that those that are showing any interest in this discussion should be automatically flagged as having a vested interest in the future of ubuntu-au loco. We can go around in circles forever and a day saying that person X isn't right or person Y has got it all wrong... @Melissa you have done a good job for your time in the position, but have you considered that the ubuntu-au loco may have become stale and in need of a facelift/change of guard? For me, if there is enough people that believe that I am capable then yes, I'll certainly put my hand up. However should it be deemed that I'm not all I ask is for a reasonable explanation as to why, so that when this comes up again (and I still have a interest) I know were to target myself for improvement. For those that may remember I posted a blog about the state of ubuntu-au http://www.vk7hse.hobby-site.org/blog/2009/09/ubuntu-au-obsolete-or-needing-a-revamp/ So seriously, there does need to be an overall outline that can be achieved by all of us! what ever contribution you do weather it be in your business/private life then this needs to be considered as well. Not all of us can or want to hold a some type of position, they will just contribute in their own way as they see fit. As I see it over the last few years the ubuntu-au loco has stagnated and hasn't made much of an attempt to do more than to simply exist on the official list (ubuntu) really if you were to compare us to some other small loco teams one would have to seriously think about where we stand from that view point. So what is it we want to achieve? who are we and what do we stand for?

Re: Governance Structure Proposal for Ubuntu-AU
Hi Michael... Your input is valuable because from what you see currently (most likely) without any prior knowledge of any disagreements (wrong word but it all that I could think of!) between person A to person B. This is the information needed, because for those that have been involved with ubuntu-au from its inception may not necessarily see how its public appearance is (healthy/unhealthy) I have to admit there really should be more information being posted regularly to the front page with respect to current happenings within the ubuntu community. Also for those that are into blogs have an RSS feed syndicated into the http://planet.ubuntu-au.org/ and there you can share information there and attempt to get more interest in this field. I think the strongest way that we can all contribute is to simply make well crafted noise on the internetzs! and lets just see what we all can achieve! -- Scott Evans VK7HSE Phone: +61362291658 Mobile: +61417586157 Skype: vk7hse sc...@vk7hse.hobby-site.org http://www.vk7hse.hobby-site.org PGP/GPG Key ID 437E00F9 -- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Re: Reapproval time
Hey lets not forget that Melissa is but one person! and sadly most things end up getting thrown back at her... This is a chance to regroup and set out new goals and to work towards a common goal. Also with respect to the ubuntu website, its hard when the ubuntu-au loco team doesn't have direct access/control of that resource. As individuals we will achieve little, as a group we have a better chance! Also if the requirement to be a position holder within ubuntu-au requires ubuntu membership then that in its self is going to be an issue for most that don't have it! Also of course there are people in the ubuntu-au/au-chat IRC that simply are not inclined to want to be more involved than what they currently do (this is fine!)

Whilst Microsoft spends millions on advertising/vendor incentives then it will always be an uphill battle! to add that with no official funding as such to even compete (and it would be pointless to even bother!) then word of mouth is our best weapon against the giant! and certainly targeting local on-line access centres, adult-Ed etc... would be by far more eventful than a full page spread in a daily rag! my 2 cents worth! :-) -- Scott Evans VK7HSE Phone: +61362291658 Mobile: +61417586157 Skype: vk7hse sc...@vk7hse.hobby-site.org http://www.vk7hse.hobby-site.org PGP/GPG Key ID 437E00F9 attachment: UbuntuStrapLogo.pngattachment: face-smile.png signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

I realise that Empathy will mature, and maybe even surprise us all to the point of hey why didn't we use this earlier! but sadly for me I find it irritating for IRC and have since completely removed it and reverted back to Pidgin!

I did have some small issues with sound, but this was soon solved by playing with what was available (meaning what works!) and due to having a 7.1 surround sound device after selecting it ... well hey its all good! As for the usplash, defiantly some work needed there a plain white ubuntu logo I think looks bloody awful after having colour for so long! (again just my opinion!) I've since to found a nifty way to set whatever desktop image you have to then become the default after that ugly B/W ubuntu logo!

Re: My experience with Ubuntu...not great
We must also remember that everyone's experience levels are different, Ubutnu has been striving to make the transition to Linux smooth, but their approach is not going to suite everyone! the concept of repositories for software for some is WTF! but for those of us that have been using Linux (of any flavour) for some time, just think back to the very first distro you ever played with, was it smooth running for you? I certainly recall back in 1998 attempting to install Red Hat 5.2 on the PC of the day and I had nothing but trouble! mind you Linux certainly has progressed a lot since then! There is a lot of information on Ubuntu forums, but there is also a lot of mis-guided information there as well, so in some sense you will be told hey do it this way then to be told no don't do that... this is how! etc... etc... again let recall your first experiences with Linux!

As a guess, I'd say that when you have installed the packages,when it would have asked you to create a root password for MySQL you either just hit enter (thus having no password!) or MySQL is only half configured. As you don't have any data in your MySQL, if you open a terminal and type... sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server ... then just follow the prompts. Another useful package to use when starting out with MySQL is PHPmyadmin, this is a PHP based web interface that you can setup on the PC hosting the MySQL... then if this is on your PC the you access that at http://localhost/phpmyadmin login= root password= what ever you set it to!

Ubuntu-au Obsolete? or needing a revamp?
Is it still fair to say that Australia still has an active ubuntu team? It seems that the proposed monthly meeting have failed, if a call for help goes out on #ubuntu-au it generally goes unanswered as the person doing the asking is in need of a quick answer and possibly leaves assuming no-one wants to help them. Is ubuntu-au still a current valid loco team if it's essentially inactive? What I'm hoping to achieve here is constructive comments/criticism of the current state of ubuntu-au and hopefully get some activity happening again... (may just be banging my head against a brick wall!) Now I have abandoned any future applications (already tried twice only to be rejected) to become an ubuntu member due to the narrow minded ways of the force! but I'm keen to make a go of making something of ubuntu-au. Currently the ubuntu-au mailing list averages about 25-75 spam emails a day! and it's rare to see a valid request (from mirrored sources of this list) also they are generally requests for help. I realise that not everyone is at their PC 24/7 or active on IRC but if I was asked as to the current involvement of ubuntu-au I'd be hard pressed to give an truthful answer to it meaning as currently it achieves very little (IMHO) So please bring forth a plethora of suggestion/ideas comments...

Re: Entry Level Network Printer
I agree with Paul, in that the cost of the entry level HP LaserJet series is not too expensive! in fact you will spend way more on the first toner refill but that's just the way of things. But I too am a fan of HP because nearly all there printers just work in Linux! But if you have the absolute need to use a true network printer then I would still recommend a HP! but really you would do better hooking it up to a PC that is on mostly all the time then just share it though CUPS, then your other PC's on the network just connect to it using IPP... Simple!

Re: HP LaserJet P1005 on/off problem
As a guess, what version of HPLIP are you using? it may be that you need to update it to a newer version as there could be something specific that needs to be sent to the printer to wake it up (not sure) But I have a all in one unit here HP-4400 and this looses the plot! if not printed or used as a scanner, to resolve this, it just needs the power to be cycled.

Re: HP LaserJet P1005 on/off problem
Hi Dave, Well CTRL+ALT+Backspace is only for restarting your X server! (except in Jaunty requires dontzap to be installed to re-enable) I'm not 100% familiar with the model printer that you have, but I'm assuming its a entry level laser-jet. Do you connect this by USB? if so, you may find that by removing the USB cable from it for 5-10 seconds then plugging it back in that it may resume as it should. although I have just searched the Ubuntu forums and there seems to be quite a lot of mention about this model printer and the confusion between HP-1005 HP-P1005. There is this link http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/ but if you are not comfortable with any of this then DON'T attempt this! I normally wouldn't suggest this type of fix as it could leave you with a broken Ubuntu, hence it is usually best for you to stick with what's in the Ubuntu repositories as they are known to work! (but not always!) and you have a lesser chance of complete system failure. Another thing to try, to confirm that your printer is picked up would be to start the PC without the printer attached, then once booted logged in, plug the printer in and in a terminal type lsusb (without quotes!) and see if the printer is in the listing (similar to below) Bus 001 Device 011: ID 03f0:6c11 Hewlett-Packard Bus 001 Device 007: ID 03f0:3404 Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 6122 This way you will know if the printer is being detected and would lead to an issue with either HPLIP or CUPS.

Re: Hardware companies, Microsoft, Competition and Consumer Choice
Thank you Sean, you have given a good balanced reply! I was generalising instead of forcing my POV! But you have raised some good points, I myself am a GNOME user but it wasn't always that way, quite a few years back when I was tinkering with Red Hat (8) I was a KDE die hard (um if you called someone that insisted on dual booting a die hard!) anyway... I only started using GNOME once I started to use Ubuntu, although I have had KDE 4.x installed at some points, I've tended to always gravitate back to GNOME. Again this is the advantage of that Freedom we have a Linux users! I suppose to that for the developers of a given desktop environment it's really a case of maintaining some Identity after all this is what makes each of them unique. I suppose where I was attempting to come from when I mentioned too much choice I was thinking more of the Marketing aspect, that is if you had to select say the 10 best things about Linux some of us wouldn't hesitate to answer! but this really does come back to what you use your Linux for, some would only want to use it because they can! but then you also have it where some of us use Linux because we choose to! there is a big difference in those two cases. As to Big question. How could this 'merge' happen? Hmm... that I think is going to be difficult although there is a fair amount of cross compatibility between GNOME KDE but its not to the level that you have mentioned though.

RE: Hardware companies, Microsoft, Competition and Consumer Choice
Hi to all... One of the biggest things that I feel is that makes Linux an unattractive alternate, there is too much choice! yes you have main stream distributions that most tend to stick with, but then you also have a lot of not so main stream as well. Now, don't get me wrong here, but the issue is that to the unaware consumer just what is Linux? something that a geek uses! and it is with this, image of Linux it will not be taken on as a majority OS. I actually appreciate that as an individual you have a choice! :) Now when I recently purchased 2 Eee PC's (701SD) they came bundled with Xandros pre-installed, I gave Xandros a run for about 2 hours then I was installing Easy Peasy (remix of Ubuntu Intrepid) But what made me go down this path was that although the Xandros OS was functional, upon the first update out of the 3 repo's only one was still available (the other 2 returned 404's) so ASUS or Xandros (what ever the arrangement is) has not maintained the repository server a mere 2 years out from the 701 initial release. For me this was simple replace Xandros with Ubuntu! but my point being, is that even though Linux made its appearance on the Netbook scene, its support has not been followed up (no doubt due to lack of sales) I'm sure to that those with enough knowledge have either replaced the default Xandros with Windows and save themselves a few dollars in doing so. So what is the answer to this? and how can it be changed? Well in the short term, I don't think there is anything one can really do to make a significant change to the status quo... However, as a unified community I believe we can! So back to the issue, I'm not a lawyer! but there has to be something tucked away in the murky depths of consumer law that permits the consumer to be able to have a choice in what they want...
