So think of it as a stop-gap arrangement, and here's hoping not for the rest of my life, as 7 years is already too much in a computing life. That is because what you are looking for is not a priority for any of the devs in Linux world. Given the closed spec, patent infiltrated field of media industry, unhelpful professional, Linux is never expected to catch up. It is a glass ceiling created by media industry to prevent the spread of free software... Before others helpfully pitch in. LMMS, audacity, ardour, ubuntustudio etc etc ain't garageband, much less Logic pro. And ffmpeg, gstreamer, and other valiant attempts aren't quite there either. The problem is people stand up and speak how crappy are open source alternatives, but no one is willing to write down what is not working. No professional will bother to file a bug report for the specific problems being faced with the software. Bug filing is and requirement specification, is the only price you have to pay for using free software. Go ahead and file 1 bugs and if those bugs dont get fixed over a period of time, then say things are not catching up... The developer never has full deep understanding of user actions. But when someone pays $$$ for buying a software, they will shout at the top of the pitch to get a feature added or bug fixed. But when it is free software, the same person will use the software once and then rant for rest of his life... For those who have specific cases of things not working, do you have a publicly available list of things which are missing ? Plus that hardware engineering that cuts out electrical noise, or even gives me zero sound for Mic recordings, that's priceless. No fiddling around to get things working.

In such a situation, the user has no mistake (accept for giving away access to his email account first time), infact yaari.com has no setting to disable repeated mailing and any attempt to communicate with the webmaster/PR/manager was directed to /dev/null.

If everyone started to think like this then only 1 distro would be maintained (*patched*), the rest would should be discarded. Infact if that was the case then ubuntu itself should not have started (after all debian was already available and ubuntu is its derivative). They all exist because they package things differently.

By local repository you mean having a local mirror or your own repository + ubuntu ? would like to have my ubuntu repository resident on either my hard disk or an external usb conected hard disk. Its a pain to keep searching for the dvd etc to install when i would like to have it always on can apt-mirror be used Yes, How i look at is there are two joints to the problem first - how do i copy the cd /dvd to the hard disk - should it be an ISO image or what second - how do i point my apt-get sources to the specified location. To copy a dvd/cd tdo the following 1) Create a directory, preferably called 'ubuntu'. 2) Copy 'pool' and 'dists' directory from cd/dvd to ubuntu directory 3) modify the sources.list file and add the following deb file:///full path to directory/ubuntu main any other tree you have 4) do apt-get update For more specific instruction let us know exactly how you want to use the local repository. regards VK -- The hidden harmony is better than the obvious!! -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

I personally would prefer a drupal based solution than a wiki based solution for a simple reason, my experience says if you apply patches to drupal site and adhere to drupal.org warning maintaining a drupal powered site is a breeze. Where as wiki has more cleanup work required because there is little control you can excercise over content going into wiki.

[ubuntu-in] ubuntu India website redesign
Hi! all, Pratul and I had a long Discussion on IRC this Sunday regarding the need for redesign of ubuntu India website. I was initially working on design of newly formed Ubuntu India Forums but thanks to crashing Inkscape I could not finish the task. In the meantime Pratul suggested that we need a complete overhaul of the ubuntu India website. We have discovered that B.Ghose has created a project under Projects section which exclusively talks about Ubuntu india website redesign. So, I am inviting the members of the mailing list and Ubuntu India community to come forward and suggest us what they would like to see in the new ubuntu India website. We are looking for suggestions in terms of navigational ideas, examples from other ubuntu loco or any other distro website. Also, let us know if you would like to see any new section in the ubuntu India website. We will try our best to accommodate as many suggestion sas possible in the new design. Since we need time to implement the new design, i am setting 26th October as the cutoff date for accepting suggestions. My target is to release the new Ubuntu India website on the auspicious day of Diwali. So guys, please visit other distros websites and see the cool new and usable features we need to have on ubuntu India website.

A non-wiki for not so volatile sections like Documents, event posting etc. and a wiki for sections like tutorials, projects etc. Yes the wiki and non-wiki need to have single sign on and Pratul can help us in having a single sign on with the forums too.

The best way to keep track of all the softwares installed from source is to install them in one parent directory such as /opt.
