Whilst I've got no experience with Kino I suspect it uses ffmpeg or mencoder to do the actual video rendering. Both of these are able to utilise multiple cores and as such you'll notice a bigger difference using a slower quad core than a faster single or dual core processor. The motherboard in that bundle also has radeon 3000 integrated graphics, which, according to a previous reply, is supported by the proprietary drivers so performance should be decent.

At the most basic level it is like having a terminal session on the remote computer, you can use commands such as cd to change directory, ls to view the contents of your current directory (same as dir in dos) pwd to print your current working directory location. nano index.html to edit the file called index.html in the current directory. You can also pass other things over the secure tunnel. If you use sftp j...@remote.host.com instead of ssh j...@remote.host.com then you get a secure ftp-like session where you can put and get files to and from the server. You can also do this graphically in Ubuntu by going to the places menu then connect to server and select ssh from the dropdown.

Creative have not provided very much support for the x-fi series. Don't quote me on any of this but I believe they released a binary only, 64bit only OSS driver a couple of years ago, which is obviously not good due to the fact most people have 32bit installations and OSS has been deprecated in favour of ALSA. They refused to release any specifications for the x-fi cards and claimed they were working on support. There was an attempt to create an ALSA driver through reverse engineering but it didn't get very far. Fairly recently creative opened the source of their original driver gave a data sheet to developers. There is an ALSA driver in testing but it has not been officially released yet.I may be completely wrong about this but I think that's the current status of x-fi support. I think your best bet at this point is to get a cheap generic sound card to use under Ubuntu, even a cheap USB one from ebay should do the trick. There is probably more information lurking somewhere on alsa-project.org if you want to dig further.

However, 9.04 has removed the Logout/Shutdown options from the System menu in GNOME, meaning that I have no alternative now but to use the newish logout menu (that was introduced in 8.10, I think). I'd got into the habit of: alt-F1 [1], and then cursoring over to System - Shutdown ..in order to shutdown my computer, but as this menu item is no longer present, is it possible to activate the new logout menu from the keyboard? I presume it must be somehow, as it would probably be Very Bad from an accessibility perspective otherwise..

Rik I'm a linux gamer where possible, although I still have a windows partition around and, depending on which games you wish to play, I would suggest that this is the best solution. Having said that there are quite a few commercial games with linux ports, but they tend to be older games. All ID software games (except quake live, but that's supposedly coming) have been ported although the linux installers can be hard to find. Unreal tournament and UT2004 have native linux ports, the UT3 linux port has supposedly been held back due to some legal issues but is apparently still on the cards. On the open source front I'd recommend Battle for Wesnoth, a very nice turn based strategy game. There's also Openarena, warsow, nexuiz and numerous others for your FPS fix.

There can be some graphical issues or other problems however. I've not tried too many games under wine but I have had success with every blizzard game I've tried and portal ran well.

[Bug 335385] [NEW] openarena incompatible with compiz
Public bug reported: Openarena has compatibility issues with compiz, to begin with it renders fine, but if you move the mouse too fast you get a black screen with a few artefacts which make the game unusable. I can replicate this using both the intel and ati drivers, I haven't tested with fglrx and can't replicate this with nvidia. If there is no simple way to solve this then a workaround could be to modify the launch script to run metacity --replace on launching and then restore compiz on exit. ** Affects: openarena (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- openarena incompatible with compiz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335385 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Rob Beard wrote: Dale Clarke wrote: The Problem is that Tesco tried to get on the Acer Aspire One Linux bandwagon selling it at £170, but have had huge returns (see Acer Forum) as people have not liked the linux frontend. This in my opinion will leave a sour taste in Tesco's mind towards Linux and can be put squarely in Acer's backyard as they do not provide enough information about the product and have done it with a very beta type setup. /After writing the above I thought I would ring our local Tesco this morning to check and their response was that they have sold all theirs within 1 days last Monday and have had no returns, so maybe sold to Linux user's, but the person said that as like Argos they cannot provide software or hardware support so just do refunds, slightly different if you went to PC World etc.../ That's a bit disappointing. I can't help but think that some people buy these things because they're cheap and see having a laptop as being cool. I know a few people who have no use for a laptop and bought the cheapest laptop possible when they could have bought a much better spec desktop for the same money. Then there's also the problem that lots of people perceive computer = Windows. Microsoft were clever in not providing any CD based software due to the amount of people asking for refunds, as they did not want the Oem. Especially with early Vista users and customers returning to XP, now you cannot get a refund as you cannot prove you have not run the software. Yep, plus there's the fact that if a hard disk dies and the customer doesn't make a set of recovery discs they'd have to fork out for another Windows licence (or badger the manufacturer for discs). I know someone who's been caught out on this. There should be and always be a refund slip in every computer in which you can get a refund on the Oem if you do not require it, this way people would realise that they are paying for the software and that it does not come free with the computer, as it was found out in a survey in Computer magazine that people perceived. I could see this working as long as the customer was required to Activate Windows. By default Windows generally comes pre-activated when it's preinstalled. If however it wasn't activated and the customer had to do this, then the customer could maybe choose not to Activate Windows and request a refund. Otherwise what's stopping them asking for a refund and continuing to use Windows. I personally now run Ubuntu 8.10 on my One with adjustments and it is now a great package, especially with SSH now being a standard kernel addition. Cool. I'm really tempted to pickup an Aspire One. I'm in the market for a new laptop (my Thinkpad is just getting too old and slow now even with Ubuntu Lite). Not sure if I should stump up £170 for an Aspire One or pay the extra for a cheap Dual Core laptop. Rob If you're thinking of getting the aspire one I'd definitely save the extra for the normal HDD version. I'm all for solid state, even if it's only 8gb, but the ssd in my aspire one is painfully slow. Even doing fairly trivial things sometimes causes the ssd activity light to just stay on solidly and the laptop freezes for a few seconds (and it's not swapping. 0k swap used). Updates on it are a nightmare because they take so long and pretty much render it unusable until they're complete.

I wouldn't really be able to afford a bigger/quicker SSD, so I guess I'd have to go down the hard drive route afterall (or buy an additional hard drive to put in afterwards and turn the 8GB SSD into a big USB drive). Rob The SSD aspire one is slightly smaller than the HDD one and can't fit a 2.5hdd in it. You can replace the ssd with a 1.8 hdd providing it has the correct (pata zif) connector though. You can get 30gb 1.8 drives on ebay for around £30, but that defeats the point of buying the cheaper version.

The next thing is to check if a specific app is normally running when the machine freezes or give us as best description of what happens i.e. After a long time running, can you dump back to failsafe terminal out of X, is the mouse still working after freeze etc. Be descriptive! :-) Regards Phil Hello, I bought the system in october, so quite cheap from ebay, it's one of those home built machines, so think cheapest parts possible! :) it's a core2quad with 2 gigs of ram, nvidia 8800gt. The symptoms have changed since it first started. before it used to freeze, no mouse moving, no keyboard, sysrq doesnt work, but display showing last app running on X, and nothing in the logs,then I noticed that if I have some apps open when the crash happens (e.g. mythtv) i do get something in the logs, see attached file with different data from different days, logs dont always get written to, these messages keep repeating in the logs. I don't know if any1 can make anything of those things. but the freezes are completely random! they happen while i am working on the machine, or if i come back after leaving it for a few hours, no matter what apps are running. seriously frustrating. I had checked the temperatures at some point, dont remember what it was, but after googling i found it's normal for a stock fan (somewhere in the 50s), no dust on the fans, all hardware well attached. getting a new video card tomorrow, as the fan on the one i have is quite noisy, and that throws one of the suspects away! any helps would be appreciated. thanks, Seif A. I'd say it's probably the power supply. If, as you say, it's built from the cheapest possible parts then it's very likely that they've used a no-name high wattage power supply which are known for causing problems. A quad core processor and 8800gt gfx card aren't going to be low power either. Even if the new graphics card is lower power and the problem goes away I'd still replace the power supply as cheapo ones aren't known for their reliability and have been known to damage other components when they fail.

The Beastie Boys faught for your right to partaaay, so show some dignity and respect to these rights, and get out there and do it. So, what is the skinny, I hear you ask? Well, I think it is time for us to put our collective minds together and organise an incredible series of release parties all over the world. On our last release, we had over 60 parties, largely organised by our incredible worldwide LoCo community, and I would love to see us hit nearer to 100 parties for this release, particularly with a birthday to celebrate! Organising a party is pretty simple: Pick a date - I would recommend either Thu 30th October or the following weekend…Sat 1st Nov and Sun 2nd Nov. Pick a date when you can arrange for a bunch of Ubuntu enthusiasts to be in the same building. Pick a venue - this can be someone’s back yard, a pub, a university room, a school, a parking lot…wherever. They key thing is not the venue, it is the people. With a venue and date, you are all set to let the world know about it. Add your party to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseParties - this is the big list of Ubuntu release parties. :) Let the world know - blog about it, make up some fliers and put them in computers shops / libraries / cafes / educational establishments etc. Encourage a stack of people to come along to your party. :) We have a longer guide to organising a release party at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/RunningReleaseParty. You can also discuss organising your party on the ubuntu-event-planners mailing list (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-event-planners). When it comes to running your party, there are a bunch of things you can do on the day/evening itself: * Have a cake - it is a birthday, after all! If you can’t bake a cake, find someone who can. :) * Hang out with other Ubuntu people, meet new faces and get to know each other. * You may want to perform installfests. * You may also want to organise a few talks and speeches for the event itself. * Why not make some merchandise to give out? Maybe some badges, stickers or t-shirts? Enjoy, and do post here when you organise a party! Jono Will there be more cake? Count me in for the party. I expect someone on here will suggest the Pembury Tavern as the location but it's not the most accessible place as it's not near a tube station.

The Belkin (mmm) F5D7132UK (dabs quicklinx: 4287WS ) was looking fairly good to me until I saw the firmware upgrade is done via windows .exe or so it seems. However, this may be the same for all such bits of kit. Any useful votes please for linux friendly directions? tia I'm using a Belkin router and it's forever crashing. My Dad has a netgear router, which I believe is running Linux as it came with a copy of the gpl in the box :-) Most routers have a web interface so they can be configured under OSes other than Windows. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Then I rebooted but, I am sorry to say, I still get the following error on selecting capture:- WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/raw... Thanks for your help. so far, but I am puzzled. Norman if lsmod | grep raw1394 lists anything then the module is loaded and the permissions on /dev/raw are incorrect. sudo chmod 777 /dev/rawwill give you the necessary permissions, although you'll have to set this manually each time you restart your computer and wish to use your camcorder.

[Bug 58626] Re: pitivi failed to start
Pitivi fails here on Edgy with: The program 'pitivi' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 36 error_code 3 request_code 3 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Error highlighting would be useful, but not required because I can just run the PHP parser over it. Integrated debugger may be useful but is a really low priority, I normally put in echos when something goes wrong. Of course content highlighting is essential. Gedit does the highlighting but not much more. I have tried gphpedit, it does some auto complete, but not for my functions and feels a little basic, and when invoked from the command line it spews GTK warnings all over the console, which I would still like to use (for things like CVS). I have done quite a lot of Java programming and am a fan of Eclipse. I hear there is a couple of PHP extensions for it, has anyone used them and which is best? Of course its essential the program is Free and Open Source. And MUST run under Ubuntu, I intend to do quite a bit of PHP programming and I refuse to spend that much time in Windows.
