 Hi, me again,

 I was just curious, is the Ubuntu Artwork team responsible for start-up and
 shut-down sounds? If not, who is?

Yes, in the past we have also taken care of the sounds.

I would imagine not, since usplash loads before the ALSA kernel modules.

Since I'm writing my thesis now, my time to develop the icon theme is

got it mixed up from various old ones :-)

Still, my categories-icons are not all showing up correctly, since I
don't know how to rename or symlink them. Would be great, if somebody

And I would also want to change the bookmarks-icon which appears in
the places-menu, when you've got more than five bookmarks in there. The
existing one is ugly as hell. Don't know where to copy that, too.


For converting a bunch of svgs to pngs I used the following script I
found on the net (the number after -w is the width of the pngs):

for i in *.svg; do inkscape -f $i -e ${i%%.svg*}.png -w 22; done

Probably this can be tuned to create folders and move the files
automatically or you can look for the one from Kenneth.

 Emo Philips  - I was the kid next door's imaginary friend.


I'm studying computer engineering and for my bachelor-thesis I am
designing a bus-interface for the LIN-Bus (a low-cost car communication
network) in VHDL (hardware description language) on an FPGA
(programmable hardware).

The bus node consists of my interface communicating with an application
specific processor designed by an indian guy. Actually I've done
implementation and testing already, but now I have to write a
documentation about my work, which is the most annoying part ;-)

It's a little bit like documenting source code: nobody likes to do
it :-)

 At a guess you're running Xubuntu Gutsy (7.10), and the instructions
 that you probably followed are on this page:-

 http://blueman.tuxfamily.org/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=51Itemid=56

 Are for Hardy (8.04). As such blueman in that repo needs newer versions
 of packages than you have on Gutsy.

 You could do one of the following - in order of preference, best to
 worst.

 1. Ask the people who make it if they have a deb package for Gutsy.
 2. Learn how to package, and make the package for Gutsy yourself from
 the source on that site.
 3. Upgrade to hardy, then try installing blueman
 4. Install the package from source (unlikely to work as you'll probably
 still need the dependencies.
 5. Ask someone else to package it for you for gutsy.

 If I were you I'd go for 1 then 3, as that's the easiest to do. If it
 were my system, I'd go for 1 then 2.

 Good luck!

 (this is all of course assuming I'm right, and that you are indeed
 running Gutsy).

 Cheers,
 Al.

[ubuntu-uk] Jing: GUI admin solution? Useful tool or not?

2008-06-09 Thread Eddie Armstrong

Saw this: Jing http://www.jingproject.com/  at the end of the Firefox 
3 video.
and thought an open source version would be great for solving the GUI 
admin problem whereby one has to explain all the various buttons and 
menus to be traversed in order to resolve a problem rather than input a 
CLI line.
Looks like a potential gold mine for TechSmith.
Unfortunately they don't do a Linux version.
Now if only some open source geniuses would make a FOSS version and 
Canonical hosted a free site  ...

Does anyone else think it a good idea for Ubuntu?

Note at 2 mins 20s in they introduce the malware protection:-

..and this protects you from sites that are trying to attack you,
they're trying to exploit a vulnerability in one of your add-ons or

As if Firefox itself couldn't _possibly_ have any vulnerabilities!

a .flv video which plays in a browser flash based plugin (yes yes, I
know flash is evil). An alternative might be the java based ogg player,

Works for you, but wont work for the other 95% of desktops running
Windows or OSX. 

Flash is useful because it is installed on so many computers, Java is
close behind in terms of usefulness, but less installed machines, Ogg
codecs is waaay down on those two.

I'd rather it just worked and people didn't have to install extra
stuff. I appreciate that flash is an install, but it's an install that
_many_ people have.

Also the site I am working on isn't specifically for screencasts.

And also in addition as well too - back to Jing - I really think an

Well we have most of the major components to make that work. We have
decent screencast tools such as recordmydesktop. We can easily do video
conversion (ffmpeg/mencoder etc) and hosting is the other bit we have.
It's really just a case of tying all those together.

 Hi guys,

 8 mkisofs will NOT make DVD Video ISO filesystems correctly in Hardy. 
 If you have a dig around, you'll find that mkisofs has been replaced by 
 genisoimage in Hardy, and the cdrkit libraries are at fault. A later 
 version of the cdrkit libraries is supposed to fix the problem, but I 
 haven't been able to verify this yet as the cdrkit sources failed to

 In the meantime, I've been creating the DVD Video directory structure in

Have you though about using a tool such as devede.  It is excellent at
creating basic dvd structure with menus.  If you become a good user I
understand it is possible to do all sorts with it.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] DVD filesystems problem

2008-06-09 Thread norman

 snip 

  8 mkisofs will NOT make DVD Video ISO filesystems correctly in Hardy. 
  If you have a dig around, you'll find that mkisofs has been replaced by 
  genisoimage in Hardy, and the cdrkit libraries are at fault. A later 
  version of the cdrkit libraries is supposed to fix the problem, but I 
  haven't been able to verify this yet as the cdrkit sources failed to 
  compile on my Hardy box.

 snip ?

From time to time I have used Devede quite successfully. It is slow but
reliable.

Re: grub beep control-g

2008-06-09 Thread Sérgio Neves

Hi,
How are you able to navigate ithrough a document with down arrow? When I am 
on plain text view, orca doesn't only read the plain text portion, but also 
some hexadecimal portion, so it's difficult to locate certain line. Or do 
you use the search facility?

Thanks

Best regards

Asunto: grub beep control-g

Good evening,

Hi

I am blind and running a dual-boot of Ubuntu and Windows.  I would like to
find a way to make the grub menu beep when it is loaded.  I understand that
this can be done by adding control-g at the beginning of one of the menu
titles.

However, I can't seem to produce the control-g code in either vi or vim
through gnome-terminal.  Any suggestions?

You have to add the hexadecimal character 07 using a hexadecimal editor.
You can use hexedit in Ubuntu:

$ sudo aptitude install hexedit

Hexedit is an easy editor with 2 views. First view is for plain text. The
second one is for hexadecimal version.
You can jump between views using tab key.

You have to set the cursor on a space character in a line with the command
Title. For example:

Title Microsoft Windows XP

You can set the cursor between Windows and XP.

Next, press tab key to jump to hexadecimal view and type 07. Note, you have
to type 0, right arrow and 7 because insert text mode is deactivated by
default.

When you had made the changes. Save the file pressing control+X



Regards
Jonathan Chacón

Yes, but you will have to start it by typing a particular command at the CD 
boot prompt. Unlike the i386/amd64 discs, I don't think this prompt has a 
timeout, so you should safely be able to wait till the CD spins down before you 
type the following command: live access=v3 where v3 is the accessibility 
profile for speech with the GNOME desktop.

Since PowerPC is no longer an officially supported architecture, no work went 
into improving this, and therefore there is no garentee that Orca will load and 
speak, however it should work fine.

Re: Data Recovery: professionals familiar with ext3

Just in a similar vein to Erland's problem:

I've got reiserfs set up on my buntu box, and wanted to know what options
there are for rescuing deleted data.
The Internet recommends rebuilding the fs nodes from an emergency boot [not
an option]. I was wondering what else fellow ubuntu'ers had in mind?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

  It's a free Computer Forensic Tool.  If you know what you are after ie

 scalpel or foremost maybe what you need.
 
  You will need another medium to carve the files out to though.

Re: trouble with kino, kdenlive, cinelerra dor video editing in hardy studio

I confirm these problems on my Ubuntu Studio 8.04.

 Hi everyone,
 
 I've tested kino under hardy i386 studio.
 
 I've tried to open a flv file, kino as usual detected it as a none DV 
 file, I've accepted to convert it into a DV one.
 
 the script used by kino is using mencoder/ffmpeg, the first video was
 4s long, but after 10 minutes, nothing to see, the progress bar was
 moving alone.
 
 Under Gutsy studio i386, there wasn't this trouble.
 
 I'm not sure, but i think the trouble is coming from ffmpeg or
 mencoder, because, i've tried to do the same thing with kdenlive, and
 after rendering in DV PAL, the file was created without error, but,
 with vlc, mplayer it was possible to read it, but no image, and no
 sound, only a grey fix image.
 
 Also, we met a strange trouble with our deb package of cinelerra for 
 hardy release,
 
 under hardy normal, the i386 or amd64 package is working fine, under 
 hardy studio, the i386 package is unsuable in simple user, the
 software launch normally, but none of the menus are avaibable by left
 clic.
 
 we found a bad solution, launch the program with sudo cinelerra,
 and it works...
 
 We have no information at this time about the amd64 package under
 hardy studio.
 
 So, at this time, gutsy studio's still better than Hardy's one for
 video editing...
 
 Bye,
 
 Laurent

 I installed the AMD64 version and jack works perfectly well. When starting

 No answers expected but I just wanted to say that I'm happy now ;)
 
 
Quite interesting - I also switched to 64Studio to work with my Presonus

Is there anybody out there, that uses a FW-interface pefectly well in

I'm glad you received the information you wanted, but there is something I'd
like to add.  Ubuntu Studio packages can easily be added to other Ubuntu
versions, in case you might like the education features of Edubuntu.  I
presume it works the other way around: If you install Ubuntu Studio, you
could add, for example, the grading or test-making software from Edubuntu.
I say this because you mentioned you are a teacher.

Re: [Ubuntu-BR] Problema (complicado!) GRUB

Alguém saberia o que está ocorrendo?


2008/6/8 Marcus Vinícius Moreira [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Não chega nem a carregar o GRUB... quando não trava, fica reiniciando.
 Não tem acesso ao menu, portanto não posso carregar nada. Restauro o GRUB
 na MBR
 via live cd.

 Acredito não ser o menu.lst pois quando restauro, mantenho-o e funciona
 normal.
 Trava na primeira tela do GRUB. Salvo engano, aparece GRUB Stage 2 e fica
 nisso... como
 disse antes, quando isso não ocorre, chega aí e reinicia.

 Valeu
