 LOL... are you seriously checking out this mailing list on other posts
 here ? There were a lot of mails about Project Day, Debian-In and
 Ubuntu-In joining and something called as Call For Participation.
 Even if you missed it here, checking out foss.in 2007 web site should
 have given you a clue that there is a formal process of applying a
 talk for the PD too and the decision is not fully in our hands. It is
 not like we are given a hall for the entire day to do whatever we want
 on our own, in which case we can accommodate any one wishing to talk
 related to Debian or Ubuntu.

 But (un?)fortunately, there had to be formal process through CfPs, we
 were given a list of talks and asked to return our preferred list,
 from which they announced a final list. This was done a bit openly on
 the irc channel with many members asked to vote their preferences and
 talks selected. So we are in a position where we can not do anything
 in this regard, better luck next time and keep your eyes a bit wide
 open to know what's happening around.

 And yes, you can probably try for a talk/session during BCB5. Even if
 not able to get a hall, you can still go in with a corridor session
 which is a very hit in BCBs. :)

There is no need to be so aggressive. Bhavani seems to be misguided

 Well I am not aggressive. I have suggested having a discussion on

Hi Team Mates,

Please keep your heads cool. We know these things have been disturbing
us for some time, but we will sit and sort it out. No use in
aggression through mails as our more polite earlier mails have failed
to appeal to him. This is all due to over enthusiasm to contribute and
take bigger responsibilities without much prior experience and exposure.

I request Bhavani Shankar to turn up at #ubuntu-in @ irc.freenode.net
sometime during the day and sort it out with us. You are always
welcome to approach us, have a discussion|debate and sort out your
problems|difference-of-opinions|inconveniences with us :)

 as a linux india community... Which i presume is already there..:)
 My PoV is that to get existing contributors of the team together which
 will have its own special recognition and there by encouraging other members
 of the community to contribute to our Team(/me noticing influx of newbies
 into our team is on the rise) Thereby infusing interest among the people and
 hence publicising our community which thereby helps spread ubuntu faster...

 Secondly where is our loco team head and who is taking care of the team

Re: [ubuntu-in] This is about Ubuntu Indian Members..

OK... Done I quit from every thing... But please do answer my question(s)
Out of 600 odd members of our loco team are all of them contributing
substantially (towards ubuntu only)? Because This IS AN UBUNTU INDIAN LOCAL
COMMUNITY.. If your answer is in the negetive then  this would be better of
as a linux india community... Which i presume is already there..:)
My PoV is that to get existing contributors of the team together which will
have its own special recognition and there by encouraging other members of
the community to contribute to our Team(/me noticing influx of newbies into
our team is on the rise) Thereby infusing interest among the people and
hence publicising our community which thereby helps spread ubuntu faster...
Secondly where is our loco team head and who is taking care of the team
presently? This question is legally valid and a right question under Indian
Constitution Right To Information (RTI) act 2005.

Bhavani Shankar

[ubuntu-uk] Cisco VPN Client

2007-10-29 Thread Josh Blacker

Hi all,

Preamble: so I'm sitting in uni trying to sort this instead of reading
Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis for a seminar at 2. Not helpful! I've
emailed the support desk about it, but was wondering if anyone else
has any insights.

College provide 3 different versions of the vpn client for linux: two
4.6. and 4.8.. I've tried the two highest versions, but when
running the install script for each it gets past a copyright warning
and then hits a problem: vpnclient: 47: ( unexpected or something
like that (am in Windows now, obviously and unfortunately, so can't
remember exactly!).

I've previously found a patch for this via popey's site, but that
applies to version 4.7, which, as you might have noticed, college
doesn't provide! So, anyone got any clues? (Don't worry if not, I just
like to let off steam about my problems really!)

 No, that's a misconception... nobody would buy an Apple Mac and then 
 expect every piece of windows hardware to work with it... why is 
 this?  Why should they go for Linux and expect anything different?

 It's because Linux has traditionally been a buy a windows machine and 
 install Linux on it scenario rather than buy Linux from the shop 
 intact.  Once shops are selling pre-installed Linux they'll also, 
 presumably, give advice on which wireless cards to buy etc. etc...

 We're getting there.  Let's not all dwell on historic negatives that 
 don't actually really exist to the same extent any more.

I think it's the fanboism (I like that new word) that helps apple.

You're right though - it's becoming a historic negative.  It doesn't

(although the room is loads bigger, and the elephant a lot smaller).

[ubuntu-uk] Promoting Ubuntu

2007-10-29 Thread Michael Holloway

Hi Guys

We're always trying to think of ideas and ways to promote
Ubuntu/Linux... why not stick to the basics??

Canonical sends out CD's for free upon request... i don't know how many,
and what they would think of this, but:

We gets tons of CD's in boxes, we get an Ubuntu jacket with big writing
saying something like:

Ubuntu Linux
Free OS
Free Office

... and then some of us volunteer to stand in city centres on the
weekend (maybe two or three in a group so we can answer questions etc)
and hand them out like flyers. We include a little slip that explains
how they can try it (live) and install it etc.

Probably some of them will get thrown away, and many will remain unused,
but surely the relatively low-cost of this type of promotion will prove
effective??? Even if its just the oh yes i've heard of that type.

What do you think?

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu Profile

2007-10-29 Thread Renjith Nair

I believe the argument is not whether windows is easier than linux or vice
versa. That is common man's opinion about linux since he/she expects
everything to behave like windows.  Everything which behaves differently
from Windows is considered to be 'difficult' because they are only used to
using windows.

Let us face the reality. We all know that the incompatibility of drivers in
linux is due to the manufacturers not providing drivers and that is the sad
fact. I agree that if linux-box distribution like Tesco's is going to be
adopted, there won't be much of a driver Issue. But things haven't reached
that level yet.. How many computers do you find in the stores with
pre-installed linux? Tesco's computers are just the first step. So is the
Dell distribution. Till we start influencing the market, the manufacturers
won't release linux drivers.  So how this can be done? It is actually by
increasing the use of linux in the community. I guess we don't have
different opinions regarding this.

So basically it boils down to a point, how we can make more people use
linux? Getting pre installed linux box  hasn't been widely happening. Till
this happens, we need to support these cards, irrespective of manufacturers
attitude towards linux.  Atleast we support  hardware from the common
manufacturers. Gutsy is the right step in doing that. But we still are far
from solving the problems.

Most of the times, solving any of these driver issues need technical
knowledge. This is not what we can expect from average users. Why don't we
release patches/scripts for solving atleast some of these problems ?  Let me
put it this way, users will be happy to download and execute a patch/ driver
file rather than tinkering with the configurations. don't you think so?
Patches won't be an answer for all problems, but still it will make life
better for average users. Remember that normal user is not technically
capable like us. They need simpler solutions.  We have forums to help in
solving these issues.. But most of the time, it is very technical and so
common people won't understand.

I would be happy to help people in solving some of these issues. But i am
not expert in every issue. If we ( ubuntu community of UK) can put in some
resources in terms of manpower (some free time) and knowledge, i am sure
than we can influence at least few people in adopting linux. May be i will
quote Tesco's slogan for this  Every little helps

:-)

renjith

 It makes me think that if Windows users actually had to occasionally

 easy... it's only easy because the norm is to buy a pre-installed PC !

Not a bad idea, worth a try anyway.

I was looking into some sort of giveaway to schools in the area where  
I live.  I was actually thinking of giving away a customised version  
of The Open Disc with details of Ubuntu on the disc, although the  
problem I'm finding is getting funding to get a few thousand CDs  
duplicated and distributed.  For this I'm looking at trying my local  
radio station (whom I work for) to see if they can sponsor the disc  
and promote it.

At least if you do get a load of discs and don't use them you could  
maybe take some into independent computer shops and places like  
Cartridge World and ask them to give them away.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu Profile

2007-10-29 Thread Matthew Larsen

It might be good to have a feature in ubuntu, where if something isnt
supported you get a little popup (like the update manager) saying that
your piece of hardware isnt supported / no drivers etc, and to maybe
link to some help or something like that. Maybe refer you to launchpad
bugs?

I can see why it gets annoying when it just 'doesn't work'. As
mentioned this is the hardware vendors fault really for not
distributing drivers / releasing the specs. However this isn't the
user's fault so we should try and make it as easy as possible for the
users to get around this.

My 2 cents...

[ubuntu-uk] Setting up a Dell Latitude D420

I have a Dell Latitude D420 laptop along with some Dell Optiplex GX620,
which I use for the charity that I work for, I would love to be able to have
these properly set up for Ubuntu, but I am NOT compentent enough to be able
to do it. I am in Croydon, and wonder if there was anyone who could help
sort them out. Unfortunately, at present they are on the other operating
system!

Sadly the charity I work for does not pay me a wage, and I could not offer
any renumeration, but we do have a small CD/DVD copier and could make copies
of CDs or DVDs if that was any help.

Most people aren't interested in arguments about whether Windows has 
similar problems.

Most people aren't interested in upgrading Operating Systems.

Most people encounter Vista when buying a new PC.

Most people encounter Ubuntu when installing a new O/S onto an existing PC.


Solution 1: Get more people to make, sell and support PCs with Ubuntu 
pre-installed. (Including voting with our wallets and making the likes 
of Dell and Tesco take notice that we WILL purchase such things.)

Solution 2: Continually improve Ubuntu so that it just works more of 
the time.


Ubuntu, is, in my experience, #1 in the world at the moment for just 
working... but it will only stay there if the mind-set is great, we're 
#1, now how can we make it even better, rather than OK, now we're #1, 
no need to improve.

You can try running the script directly with bash or removing /bin/sh

Seconded. Driver problems are frequently be found with Windows XP (as 
they were with Win 98 etc), and the situation with wireless is 
particularly bad, as often you end up with two apps (XP SP2 inbuilt 
wireless functions and the driver package from the maker) running at the 
same time, sometimes conflicting, at best just confusing the user.

   One room with ten computers (running Win2k) and network hardware 
installed.
   Internet connection running through a old Netpilot proxy box.
   Users would log into a local desktop and would only be asked for a 
username and pwd for web connection when firefox started.

   Internet was cut off last week and is currently being reconnected.
   Have managed to sell the idea of Ubuntu to replace Win2k.

 What would be the best way of setting up access so each user could

LTSP may be a good idea, you need a server but everything gets booted 
off the server. Users homes and settings are the same on every machine.

Or you can mount /home on every machine on an NFS / SMB share. Much 
easier than it may sound. Then you get centralized management of each 
user, central store of users data transparently and one place to back 
stuff up. That would be my choice.

Theres lots of ways. For everything you will need a server but you will 
if you have a Windows network anyway.

So everyone would login as normal?

[ubuntu-uk] nfs share not mounting after upgrade to Gutsy

2007-10-29 Thread Mac

After upgrading my old laptop from Feisty to Gutsy, the cifs shares for 
my network drive are mounting fine, but an nfs share to a folder on 
another computer on the network isn't.

When I 'sudo mount -a', I get

mount.nfs:  serverIP:/sharefolder failed, reason given by server: 
Permission denied

Given that it worked fine before the upgrade, I'm a bit at a loss.  Any 
ideas about what I need to do about this?

 Hi all,

 As we've hit 12 people expressing interest in making an UbuCon UK
 happen, I want to take the discussion of an UbuCon in the UK onward.

 The fundamentals: When? Where? Who? What?

 When? Sometime in Spring 2008, meaning March to May. Gives us time to
 organise, we'll hopefully have some bearable weather, and could coincide
 with the release of Hardy Heron at the end of April.

 Where? I'll say London, maybe because I'm a Londoner. I can think of a
 number of venues that could host us. That said, it's an expensive place.
 Other options could be any city with decent transport links and people
 on the ground - Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh.
 There has to be a core team of people in place, who know the area and
 can donate brain and brawn, though.

 Who? You! We will need people to organise, help out on the day, run
 stalls, give talks. Plus, we need to reach out and get people to attend,
 whether they're already using Ubuntu or are curious as to what this
 linux lark is all about.

 What? The attractions. We can have stalls, films, talks from the likes
 of SABDFL, an Ubuntu-powered arcade, a laptop troubleshooting team
 fixing boxes brought in, space for spontaneous BOFs and meetings 
 add your idea here
 I'd also like to invite organisations and projects that aren't strictly
 Ubuntu but related (or at least have software that runs on Ubuntu), such
 as the Open Rights Group and OpenStreetMap, to broaden the horizons.

 So: add your ideas to this thread; post them to the wiki
 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/IdeasPool/UbuCon_UK
 An open meeting on irc, or similar, will be organised soonish (after the
 Boston Ubuntu Developer Summit is done).

We have conference facilities here at the University of Manchester. I
can make enquiries. It's run as a commercial venture so it will be close
to commercial prices.

On the location, my feeling is that if you run it in London people in
the far north of the country may miss out because of the travelling
time, so somewhere in the middle, I think would be better.

You could always try vpnc.  I used to use it daily with a Cisco VPN

NetworkManager (if you use that) via, funnily enough, network-manager-vpnc.

Location is always going to be a cause for debate, and won't satisfy 
everyone. Bear in mind that there's no reason only one ubucon will be 
held in the UK; if the first one works, well, it'll be the first of many 
   and can be rotated around the country.

Personally, I'd like it to be in London because, well, that's where I 
am. It also has Ubuntu HQ, good rail connections, and lots of people.

Also, every free software event this year has been outside the capital: 
aKademy (Glasgow), Debconf (Edinburgh), Lug Radio Live (Wolves), Open 
Street Map (Manchester), Gnome (Birmingham). C'mon, let the Cockneys 
have a go!

Seriously, the single most important factor is that wherever UbuCon UK 
is held, there is a team of people on the ground, who can do the 
neccessary legwork. So if you propose a place, please consider how many 
people live there, and if you can offer any sort of accomodation for 
out-of-town helpers.

I wouldn't say that it's the geographical centre but it is the easiest

I'm clearly far too much of a southerner here. I tend to find a that any
event north of London is as good as impossible to make. Then again I
detest visiting London on the whole. All that said, I do have other
factors that make anything that is more than a long day trip a challenge
to organise. LUG Radio Live I wanted to make, but couldn't organise, I
had organised the Linux Expo and then they went and postponed it the
rotten $*s.

If I can get my camper van back on the road (fun logistics of getting it
to a garage without starting it) something with a camp site near by
would aid the accomodation situation! Even better, something with a
nice mooring near by would allow me to sail there ;) Cowes, IoW anyone?

 Hi all,

 As we've hit 12 people expressing interest in making an UbuCon UK
 happen, I want to take the discussion of an UbuCon in the UK onward.

 The fundamentals: When? Where? Who? What?

 When? Sometime in Spring 2008, meaning March to May. Gives us time to
 organise, we'll hopefully have some bearable weather, and could coincide
 with the release of Hardy Heron at the end of April.

 Where? I'll say London, maybe because I'm a Londoner. I can think of a
 number of venues that could host us. That said, it's an expensive place.
 Other options could be any city with decent transport links and people
 on the ground - Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh.
 There has to be a core team of people in place, who know the area and
 can donate brain and brawn, though.

 Who? You! We will need people to organise, help out on the day, run
 stalls, give talks. Plus, we need to reach out and get people to attend,
 whether they're already using Ubuntu or are curious as to what this
 linux lark is all about.

 What? The attractions. We can have stalls, films, talks from the likes
 of SABDFL, an Ubuntu-powered arcade, a laptop troubleshooting team
 fixing boxes brought in, space for spontaneous BOFs and meetings 
 add your idea here
 I'd also like to invite organisations and projects that aren't strictly
 Ubuntu but related (or at least have software that runs on Ubuntu), such
 as the Open Rights Group and OpenStreetMap, to broaden the horizons.

 So: add your ideas to this thread; post them to the wiki
 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/IdeasPool/UbuCon_UK
 An open meeting on irc, or similar, will be organised soonish (after the
 Boston Ubuntu Developer Summit is done).

 John


I own the frapper map. I set it up a long while back and forgot about it.

I am from Glasgow and  I think that you are all talking alot of bollocks ;)
Scotland IS part of the UK and you should stop thinking that Ubuntu-UK stops
when it hits the border.

While I would personally favor a Scottish location, I would also add my +1
to Manchester. Is anybody involved with the University there? Could we
borrow university facilitates etc?

I am sure this could be an open debate [though probably never solved!] on
IRC. I suppose this is one of the first major milestones that we need to
overcome. :D

- The problem is then when multiple users use the same PC: who is allowed

in security issues, I don't think it's strange to find it in the
Administration menu.

you're right


- OTOH, maybe the Appearance panel could have a button to the login
screen settings that's only visible to people who are members of the
'admin' group.  (So it would still require root credentials.)

That suggestion seems to me very clever
And maybe that the same thing could be done for Sound panel which

[Ubuntu-BR] Apaguei partição, boot problem ático

2007-10-29 Thread Nelson Correa

Amigos,

Aí vai uma dúvida digna de prova para certificação.  :-)

Depois de experimentar algumas distros no passado, instalei em abril o
Ubuntu 7.04. Adorei, apesar de algumas apanhadas. Em dois meses, ele
passou a ser meu O.S. de trabalho. Experimentei tudo, brinquei com ele e
agora com o 7.10, resolvi partir de uma instalação limpa. Mantive 4MB
para o Windows, ainda compartilho edição de arquivos do Office
profissionalmente. Instalei o XP seco com MS-Office. Criei uma partição
para entrar o 7.10 e outra para o Home. Ficaram a partição do 7.06+Home
e a swap lá no finalzinho do disco. 

Continuei trabalhando com o 7.06 e instalei o 7.10. Fui afinando,
configurando, deixando com o jeito que eu queria. Quando dei o OK final,
estava show, do jeito que eu queria. Aí apaguei a partição onde estava o
7.06 e joguei todo esse espaço para a Home do 7.10.

Aí perdi o boot. Meu Ubuntu ficou tonto com a mudança das referências de
discos.

Pergunta:
Por onde começo o conserto para não ter que fazer uma nova instalação
depois de tudo prontinho?  ;-)

Abração,
Nelson Corrêa

 Amigos,

 Aí vai uma dúvida digna de prova para certificação.  :-)

 Depois de experimentar algumas distros no passado, instalei em abril o
 Ubuntu 7.04. Adorei, apesar de algumas apanhadas. Em dois meses, ele
 passou a ser meu O.S. de trabalho. Experimentei tudo, brinquei com ele e
 agora com o 7.10, resolvi partir de uma instalação limpa. Mantive 4MB
 para o Windows, ainda compartilho edição de arquivos do Office
 profissionalmente. Instalei o XP seco com MS-Office. Criei uma partição
 para entrar o 7.10 e outra para o Home. Ficaram a partição do 7.06+Home
 e a swap lá no finalzinho do disco.

 Continuei trabalhando com o 7.06 e instalei o 7.10. Fui afinando,
 configurando, deixando com o jeito que eu queria. Quando dei o OK final,
 estava show, do jeito que eu queria. Aí apaguei a partição onde estava o
 7.06 e joguei todo esse espaço para a Home do 7.10.

 Aí perdi o boot. Meu Ubuntu ficou tonto com a mudança das referências de
 discos.

 Pergunta:
 Por onde começo o conserto para não ter que fazer uma nova instalação
 depois de tudo prontinho?  ;-)

 Abração,
 Nelson Corrêa



Pelo que eu entendi você apagou a partição onde estava o 7.04 (que
você confundiu a todos falando 7.06 várias vezes) e por isso perdeu o
Grub. Se for realmente esse caso, basta seguir esses passos:

http://wiki.ubuntubrasil.org/Grub#head-5b5c7621cb033fd81dbb22bb32d08e041867a005

Isso vai reinstalar o Grub na partição onde esta instalado seu sistema
final, 7.10. Depois basta editar o menu do Grub e adicionar a entrada
para o Windows nele.

Abraço,

 Apesar dos pesares, ótimo post :)
   
 
 Ótimo pq exatamente? Um cara com muito tempo livre pega um livrinho do 
 MS Get the Facts e envia uma massaroca de meias-verdades com uma 
 profusão de links e o post fica sendo ótimo? Qtos pararam para checar 
 os links? Qtos foram lá ler o texto completo do q ele colocou? Fala 
 sério... O cara é um MS Certified Pro e precisa fazer esse tipo de coisa 
 pra se promover (vide o site dele mesmo), justificando o tempo q ele 
 deve ter gasto na tarefa, mas o resto do mundo precisa trabalhar pra 
 viver e não dá pra parar e rebater ponto a ponto um FUD q já foi 
 rebatido inúmeras vezes.
   
 *1) Que governos tem direito de acesso ao código fonte do Windows para
 garantir sua soberania nacional? *
   
 
 Vc pode ver, MAS vc não pode tocar... Como vc vai garantir q o código 
 auditado é o mesmo utilizado no build q roda no micro da secretária do 
 Diretor de uma agência governamental, por explo? Não vai, pois o código 
 é fechado e vc não pode fazer o build dele e gerar sua própria 
 distribuição.

 Enquanto isso, user kernel Linux ou algo da família BSD e seja feliz, 
 pois, além de auditar o código, vc pode controlar o build e a 
 distribuição de ponta a ponta. Isso é ser soberano.

   
 *2) Que empresas particulares podem ter o direito de acesso ao código fonte
 do windows na forma de consulta para o desenvolvimento de drivers e outros
 recursos que necessitem de alta integração com o sistema, em alguns casos de
 forma paga, em outros de forma totalmente gratuita?*
   
 
 Sim, mas a q partes? O código do Windows soma algumas dezenas de milhões 
 de linhas de código. Ter acesso a um pedacinho sob um Non Disclousure 
 Agreement não significa nada, já q na hora em q a MS soltar um Service 
 Pack q altera as interfaces vc tem de pedir o acesso, pagar e se 
 submeter ao processo tudo de novo... Pense na rapidez com q isso acontece...

 Agora, se vc tem um código livre em mãos, pode acompanhar o 
 desenvolvimento pelos snapshots diários e se preparar para o q virá. 
 Simples assim.

   
 *3) Que o código fonte do kernel do Windows não apenas está disponível para
 uso em sala de aula, mas foi organizado de forma didática para a realização
 de experiências?*
   
 
 Pois é... Q pena q vc não pode gerar um build, alterar e redistribuir a 
 gosto. Sem falar q o tamanho do código torna a empreitada muito pouco 
 didática.

 Sistemas operacionais montados pra fins didáticos eu conheço desde a 
 época do Minix, cujo tamanho permite q vc escreva o kernel literalmente 
 from scratch. O q exatamente eu ganho olhando porções limitadas do 
 código do Windows?
   
 *4) Que o Windows CE não é apenas um Windows para dispositivos móveis, mas
 possui uma ferramenta (Platform Builder) que permite que se monte um novo
 sistema operacional a partir da escolha de milhares de peças que formam o
 Windows CE, desta forma criando sistemas operacionais específicos para
 determinados hardwares (sistemas embarcados) sem o excesso de
 funcionalidades? Além disso o custo de licença da unidade do sistema
 operacional é
 adaptado a partir das partes escolhidas pelo desenvolvedor, podendo ficar um
 valor a partir de aproximadamente US$ 10,00 a unidade?*
   
 
 Legal para os clientes da MS. Mas, e daí?

 Vc sabia q o kernel linux embarcado pode ser alterado ao gosto do 
 freguês? Hoje temos kernel embarcado linux rodando de celulares a DVRs.
   
 *5) Que as urnas eletrônicas brasileiras foram criadas com base no Windows
 CE embarcado conforme a tecnologia citada no item 4?*
   
 
 Bom, isso aqui é simplesmente falso. Nos próprios comentários do baboo 
 bit alguém colocou as referências. Além disso, caso fosse verdade, não 
 seria mérito para a MS, mas sim DEmérito pras urnas. Ano passado foram 
 encontradas algumas urnas falsas aqui no DF. Em Alagoas rolou aquele 
 lance de urnas com dados corrompidos. Sem falar q nos países onde os 
 eleitores levam seu voto à sério esse tipo de solução não passou ainda 
 pq nenhum fabricante foi capaz de produzir algo considerado realmente 
 seguro. E a Diebold (fabricante das nossas urnas) vive apanhando dos 
 testes de segurança nos EUA. Referências? Vá ao Google e comprove pq 
 essa é fácil.
   
 15.000 urnas para as eleições de 2005 e 2006. A empresa Vesta, de São Paulo,
 deixou de vender softwares de compras públicas on-line para a Bolívia porque
 Lula, em seu primeiro ano no poder, resolveu oferecer ao país, de graça, um
 programa com a mesma função. O governo federal não só reinventou a roda com
 o software livre à custa do contribuinte, como prejudicou a competição no
 mercado de tecnologia, diz Paula Santos, sócia da Vesta. É a política do
 software livre contra o livre
 mercado. 
   
 
 Olha a MENTIRA aí... O q tem a ver o governo emprestar urnas ou 
 programas gratuitamente para outro país e software livre? Na época essa

Re: [Ubuntu-BR] Apaguei partição, boot problem ático

2007-10-29 Thread Nelson Correa

Oi Vinícius!

Não foi de propósito, mas às vezes, questão de prova tem pegadinha.  :-)

Eu vou ler o material que você sugeriu, mas eu recebo o menu com as
opções de S.O.s para escolher antes de carregar o 7.10, que é o default.
Ele deve ter ficado perdido, pois algum hdx não existe mais. Ou o nome
do hd que ficava o Home foi alterado depois que uma das partições foi
eliminada. Como eu fiz todo a reestruturação de partições fora do
Ubuntu, através do Gpart bootável, ele ficou perdido com as referências
que tinha antes de eu eliminar uma partição.

Mas valeu sua pronta resposta e a dica que estou indo agora ler. Depois
confirmo se funcionou ou não.

Abração,
Nelson Corrêa

Na verdade antes também não tava funcionado, é que eu reistalei ele esse

que não to conseguindo instala alguns pacotes e muito menos atualizar

Tava pensando se o apt não precisa que seja liberada uma porta

Re: [Ubuntu-BR] Problema autualização

faz o seguinte, edita seu sources.list e troca /br.archive/ pra /us.archive/
isso resolveu pra mim uma vez q o servidor estava fora do ar e eu 
precisa com urgencia de alguns pacotes

mas para atualizar pra versão 7.10, acho + jogo vc baixar a iso d uma 
vez, o download é um pouco maior, aí caso a atualização não ficar 
redonda vc ja faz uma instalação limpa de uma vez

 Na verdade antes também não tava funcionado, é que eu reistalei ele esse 
 final de semana e desde então ta acontecendo esse erros. O problema e 
 que não to conseguindo instala alguns pacotes e muito menos atualizar 
 para versão 7.10.

 Tava pensando se o apt não precisa que seja liberada uma porta

[Ubuntu-BR] [UBUNTU-BR] Problemas com o Virtual Box

2007-10-29 Thread Paulo Roberto Donatilio Rego

Olá pessoal. vejam só instalei o 7.10 do zero para isso fiz o backup do HD
de minha máquina virtual,
quando quis rodar o hd apareceu uma caixa de diálogo com o seguinte erro:

The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make
sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to
the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take
effect..
VBox status code: -1909 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE).

Código de Resultado:
0x80004005
Componente:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}

A pasta aonde está o hd é em uma partição ntfs e não na pasta do virtual
box... o problema de colocá-la aqui é o espaço...

se alguém puder me ajudar a interpretar esse erro... agradeço bastante...
grande abraço e fiquem todos com Deus!!

Valeu Fábio!

   Com o drive open-source consegui configurar a placa de vídeo :)
Agora o problema está intermitente, as vezes o 3d não funciona...
Estou verificando o que pode ser... Nestes casos, basta reiniciar o
computador para o 3d voltar a funcionar.

  Vc tem que usar o driver radeon ou ati, que são ambos open-source. O
 driver fglrx que tem no repositório oficial ainda não tem suporte a

Re: [Ubuntu-BR] Problemas com o Virtual Box

2007-10-29 Thread Khristian

Tu já postou a solução :P
É preciso adicionar os usuários que vão usar as máquinas virtuais ao
grupo vboxusers. No Gnome, é Menu Principal- Sistema -Usuários e
Grupos (precisa de acesso root). No KDE execute kcontrol, e procure a
parte de gerência de usuários.
Abra o grupo vboxusers, e adicione o seu usuário (e, possivelmente,
todos os interessados em usar máquinas virtuais no virtualbox).
