[Bug 1616912] [NEW] Can't drag & dropping files from HDD to USB key: Nautilus claims the key is read-only
Public bug reported: When dragging and dropping files from my local disk to a connected USB key, Nautilus claims that the key is read-only. Copying the same files via the command line works.

Let's call that leading by example at the ground level. That's great! That said IT Help Desk does not officially support Linux. I've also noticed that when I attempt to install Ubuntu on top of Virtual Box in my corporate laptop, some of the default config settings change and I am not able to connect to the corporate network. That may be an issue with your corporate network that blocks some type of connections. It normally works out of the box in a VM. That said, what version did you try to install? To keep things simple, I have decided to get a personal laptop where I can run Ubuntu in the cloud and explore the apt-get ecosystem of productivity apps :-). Is that feasible? Thanks for any guiding pointers. It is definitely possible to run Ubuntu on a laptop. I'm not sure what you mean by 'in the cloud'. A lot of people on this list have been using Ubuntu on personal or work laptops for years. I would suggest a Lenovo ThinkPad as it's one of the best ranges supported on Linux. My personal experience is that every ThinkPad I've ever tried to install Ubuntu on has always had every thing work out of the box. Others may have had different experience so make sure you wait a couple of comments before making a choice. The underlying question that prompted me to reach out to the collective wisdom of this forum: * How does one begin to love Linux where there was officially no love in the past within the organization due to market forces? Crossing the chasm to achieve critical mass of I love Linux adopters requires persistence and goes beyond a press release. I'd say you're going about it the right way: install it, use it every day and show others that you're using it.

Hope so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3PUYoa1c9M For those that can't or won't watch it the video, what's shown is Ubuntu Touch based on Unity 8 and Mir on an x86 based tablet. Will demonstrated a few standard things like browsing and video playback, then switched to 'desktop' mode by attaching a bluetooth mouse. At that point the user interface adapts with applications splitting off into windowed mode assuming you want to work with it as a laptop. When the mouse is detached or switched off it reverts back to touch mode. It's quite a nice demo as it finally shows off an early version of what we're aiming for. I have only one word: wow!

We've had a tendency in the past to do stuff in London because that's where several of us are but we should make an effort to include the rest of the UK. In my mind I'd like to see us doing more in the way of advocacy, event organising/attending, code jams, support and so on. We could all do this individually or we could do it co-ordinated as a team. I'd prefer the latter. I agree, it would be better to coordinate as a team. That said, it should also be possible for someone to do something on their own in their local community, while relying on the whole team for support. One aspect of this would be to document what we do in a wiki so for example, including what worked and what didn't so if we do something successful in London for instance, someone in Manchester could just go to the wiki to get ideas and learn about the pitfalls to avoid.

The next big problem is that the most important data appears as gibberish. I think I will need to experiment with several data files and look for similarities and differences. I'm getting there though. Numerical values will likely be stored as their internal binary representations over several bytes. You may even have more complex structures encoded in there. The Perl unpack method can probably help [2]. As you suggest, what you can do is experiment with multiple files. Change one value at a time in the file and see where the difference is. Once you've found the bytes that change, try to read those bytes in a way that returns the value you expect. You will gradually start to see patterns emerge in the file.

I have worked with text based files, CSV etc but never something which does not load in a text editor. Load it in a hex editor like Bless Hex Editor, available in the software centre. By doing that, you will realise that some of the data is actually readable and that it's probably a fairly simple record format. Then it's a case of searching for patterns of known data in the file, bearing in mind that numeric value will be encoded in binary, as well as control characters and suchlike.

Thinkpads are one of the safest choices to run Ubuntu (or any Linux distro): it generally just works. Other things I like about Thinkpads that may be of interest: - They are designed to withstand the bashing received by being constantly carried around on the road in bags that are not always perfectly padded (the most efficient way to kill them is to pour hot coffee on the keyboard but otherwise you need to apply a lot of force to do any damage: no cheap plastic on those), - Their keyboards are very good. Even the new Lenovo ones that have a chiclet keyboard rather than the old IBM keyboard are very comfortable to use. - You can usually find maintenance sheets online that tell you everything you need to know in order to service them and it's usually a case of removing a small number of standard screws to get to the innards. In particular, replacing the HDD/SSD, RAM, keyboard or individual keys is considered standard maintenance that anybody can do as long as they have a Phillips screw driver and are not afraid to use it.

Colin I have taken a quick peek and it says git-hub is free for public, open source projects. I of course require private hosting as I wouldn't want people to peek behind my site. So is there a free option for doing this? I really don't have a budget for doing this sort of thing. Gitlab [1] is an open source alternative to Github and has unlimited free private repositories. It is not as full featured as Github especially in the team collaboration area but is more than enough for your use case. It takes 5 minutes to create a repo and the only gotcha is how to generate an SSH key to let git interact with it, which is explained in their help pages [2]. If you need more help with git, the git book [3] is available online for free. Using a VCS like git takes a bit of practice but once you're used to it, it is very liberating to know that you always have a golden master and that you can roll back any changes should you need to.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Automating find and replace
Assuming the offending line is always the same, here's what I would do: Create a file called evil-hack where you copy the offending line, then run a script like this: find . -name *.php -print | while read f; do cp $f $f.hacked grep -f evil-hack -F -v $f.hacked $f done So to unpack those few lines: find . -name *.php -print = will find all the *.php file in the folder tree from current location | while read f; do = will execute the code between do and done for each file, using f as the variable that contains the name of the file cp $f $f.hacked = copy the *.php file to *.php.hacked grep -f evil-hack -F -v $f.hacked $f = here the meat of it that applies grep to *.php.hacked and redirects the output to *.php (in effect replacing the original file); the different options to grep mean: -f evil-hack: the pattern to search for is in the file evil-hack -F: interpret the pattern as a fixed string, don't attempt to use any regexp -v: reverse the search so in effect give me all the lines that don't match the pattern rather than the ones that do Once you've done that, you can verify that everything is clean by doing: find . -name *.php -print | while read f; do grep -H -f evil-hack -F $f done and this should come out empty (the -H option in grep will print the file name where it found a match so that you know where to look if some of it wasn't cleaned properly). And the final step, to delete all the hacked files: find . -name *.php.hacked -delete As ever, make a backup of all the code before you do this, just in case there's a typo somewhere. And as others have suggested, you need to find how you got hacked so that you can close that loophole.

What's even stranger is that I know for a fact that Chrome is one of the browsers the Lloyds digital team explicitly test against. The only event that I can see could be correlated to the date when problem started is the fact that August 2012 is roughly when they started divesting the customers that would later become the TSB customers. From a technical perspective it meant some changes to the load-balancing configuration: the LBG stack is basically a big n-tier architecture with firewalls, web servers, app servers, ESB servers, DB servers in a stack, each brand of the group is given a vertical slice in the stack with a number of servers roughly proportional to the number of customers in the brand. So divesting the TSB customers meant creating a new vertical slice and allocating some servers to that slice (I can't remember if it meant re-jigging existing servers or adding new ones). In order to do that, the load balancers at the front will identify what brand you are going to and direct you to one server in that brand's slice. Could there be a slight configuration glitch in the TSB slice that only affects Chrome in a weird intermittent way? Not impossible.

So I believe that to find all links to ubuntuone.com on ubuntu.com, you'd put this into Google: link:ubuntuone.com site:ubuntu.com More details here: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/136861 Bruno On 29 April 2014 01:50, Alan Pope a...@popey.com wrote: Hi Mike, On 29 April 2014 01:21, Mike Hingley computa_m...@hotmail.com wrote: I was thinking about the U1 close down, and I got to thinking about Iain Farrell's post on design.canonical.com : http://design.canonical.com/2011/10/so-youve-decided-to-make-an-ubuntu-promotional-video/ in this post Iain provides some resources - unfortunately these are sitting on Ubuntu One storage, and will ultimately disappear.

Very disappointed. Also I cannot change screen brightness in 14.04 so battery life is poor. Interesting. It's very fast on my machine (faster than on 13.04) and the brightness works absolutely fine.

All of it avoiding SAAS and using free libre open source software (floss). How would you go about it? Use something like digikam in combination with scribus? Scribus on its own will produce print ready output. I've made photo calendars and labels with it, and most small print shops will accept PDFs. I use Shotwell for photo management and GIMP for editing but might have a look at Digikam in future. I've done it the python way for our business cards: I have a python script that picks up employee details from a JSON file, uses those details to populate an SVG template using jinja2 and then calls rsvg-convert to transform them into PDF. The script is 40 lines of code and produces print ready output. The benefit of the script route is that you can customise the source and content so for example, you can make the script pick up all the photos that are within a date range and automatically generate your photo album based on that which means you could do a my year in pictures album every Christmas. Or you can generate album and labels using the same source of data by just using a different template. Of course, if it's for a one-off, Scribus is the right tool for this. On the other had, why spend 5 minutes doing something when you can spend 5 hours automating it? ;-) Cheers, Bruno -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Python / django dev for REST API prototype
Hi all, This is slightly off-topic but I thought people on this list would be the right audience. My company, EnergyDeck [1], just got granted an innovation voucher from the TSB [2] which means I have a small budget to do something innovative under the following conditions: - I need to do this through a UK based SME with whom we've never worked before, - Said SME needs to produce a short (1 page) report at the end of it. What I need doing is a prototype for a REST API that would sit on top of our platform, written using python + django + a REST API django plugin. The scope of the prototype is flexible but needs at the very least to do this: - Include basic support for developer API keys that we would issue, - Authentication via OAuth, - Performance testing for some of the queries that may return a large amount of data. The deadline is flexible but I would like to at least start this side of Christmas. If you are interested in doing this for us, please contact me off list and we can discuss the details.

This issue is a hardy perennial. There seem to be two worlds: one that maintains the original and ancient traditions of the early internet, and puts replies (preferably only plain text) below the original post; and one - containing the majority of the commercial, business and government world - that follows conventions introduced by Microsoft, and replies in HTML above the original. Here, we are hard-core traditionalists: plain text replies below original. We sometimes have to remind people to do it. I see it more as a case of using the right approach for the context you're in. I exchange email every day with a mix of people who all have different preferences in that respect. So when I reply, I take two factors into account: What is my reply about? Am I replying to individual point in the original email or is it a general reply to the overall content? Who am I replying to and what is the context of the conversation? Is it a conversation between me and a small group of people or is it a conversation with a large group of people some of whom I don't know? Based on the answers to both questions, here's what I do: - If I reply to individual points in the email, I always post inline and delete the parts of the email I am not replying to. If my recipients are used to top-posting, I will prefix the whole thing with see reply inline below or words to that effect. - If I reply to the whole email in a conversation with a small number of people I know (like my own team), I will top-post because I assume they've followed the discussion so far and don't need to refer to the original email to understand my reply: therefore top-posting mean that they get the information they need at the top of the message. - If I reply to a mailing list or any conversation with a large number of people, I will post inline to ensure that the people who haven't followed the conversation know the context. That's the basics. After that, I may sometimes adapt what I do to other factors. For example, when replying to an old conversation in a situation where I would normally top-post, I may post inline instead to ensure that the recipients are reminded of the subject. Or to summarise: there is not one true way to do it, just do what you think is right based on context, taking into account both what you are replying to and who you are replying to. Thoughts anyone?

Does anyone have a recommendation? I used to have BT, and they were mostly useless. There is a bit of bittorent going on, so I'm looking for an uncapped adsl2 service. Virgin Media is not available in my area. Kind regards, Travis I was also with O2 (Be) and also was motivated to jump ship for the very same reason. The good news was that BT fibre was already becoming established in my area - it was frustrating to see all the cabinets go in and not have a fibre related connection myself - and also that BT had then recently changed policy to make their 'unlimited' options truly unlimited - removing the restrictions on P2P activity and uploads, for example. I had been resisting choosing a fibre connection partly on principle because I think P2P is so important for the internet. The connection activity went well (sigh of relief). And it continues to be good :-) That's one thing I like about Zen: they piggy back on the BT infrastructure so as soon as Fibre was available in my area, they were offering it. The bad news is that I am now dealing with a massive org which occasionally morphs into a dozy giant. The installer guy was well informed technically, but on contract, so he reacted like an outsider, not relating to BT in company knowledge or attitude, confirming the idea that - somewhere - I was dealing with an amorphous unknown lumbering org. I had gladly accepted a cashback (well, voucher back) deal for Sainsburys vouchers (50 pounds) and the claim registration web page had an incorrect date which would invalidate my own claim, which caused me anxiety. I got some reassurance from the live chat help - I noticed this at pre sales time - but verbal reassurance was only partially comforting. Ultimately I did receive the promised vouchers, but the claim web page was STILL indicating invalid dates. That's the other thing I like about Zen: small company and support know what they're talking about. Email accounts have been a pita. BT makes use of Yahoo mail, and I found that to use (BTYahoo) as SMPT server for my various outgoings I had to configure my BTYahoo settings to accept each email ID separately. I have a number of email IDs. Presumably because Yahoo see my mail initially, as alien. It does work, though, albeit an inconvenient hassle. The other day, I got an email from BT about the possible closure of my BTYahoo mail account. This was an offer that I could hardly ignore, nor even refuse. But unfortunately I did not even understand it. My contact to them yielded an explanation which I also did not fully understand. My BT fibre connection username is allocated to be the same as my BTYahoo email address, so I was confused that if I was one of those who chose to allow closure from non use of the BTYahoo email account, then I wondered what would happen to my connection username. I have since concluded for myself that in such a case, the username continues as an ID but even though it appears to be a real email address, it of course will not be. Such is the disconnect in an ISP which puts its email facility out to others. In my case because I make frequent use of the BTYahoo account to route my outgoing mail, I conclude I will not be seen as a non user of the BTYahoo account... Incidentally, I was connected with two boxes, not just one. A BT modem, presumably related to fibre, and a wireless router (BT Home Hub), whereas previously with adsl I had a single combined, modem router. Yes, I have the same: the router is the old one I had with ADSL, they just added a fibre modem (white box) in front of it and connected the router using PPPoE via the modem rather than PPPoA direct to the phone line. Actually, that's yet another thing I like about Zen: when I ordered my ADSL with them 2 years ago, they suggested a few models of routers I could use other than the one they supply and explained what features I needed to look for in order to be able to upgrade to fibre later without changing the router. And when upgrade time came, they asked what model I had, pulled out the spec sheet for that model and guided me through the re-configuration (which wasn't hard to be honest). For some reason, not sure what, I find that the BT router does not easily connect to new wireless devices (Android tablet, phones) although ok eventually. So far I have found that a router restart (has a button) does help. Oh, yes, as a Post Script: I registered with the BT forums support community - to try to better undertsand the promise of email account closure from 'non use'. I had some ROFL because - I used my real name (alan cocks), it was impossible because my surname got the response 'Bad word, please clean this up
Re: Number of bugs in Ubuntu 13.04
Hi Gabor, Funnily enough I stumbled across a blog post yesterday that may have the answer about that: http://web.dodds.net/~vorlon/wiki/blog/Plymouth_is_not_a_bootsplash/ Considering Plymouth is the boot time I/O multiplexer, I understand it is the package that is responsible for scheduling the different events that happen at startup and shutdown so I would file your bugs #2 and #3 under plymouth.

Their phone support is not 24x7 but they are very knowledgeable and the few issues I've had have always been sorted efficiently. They are very happy to provide you with a router if you wish or to let you use your own if you have one and know what you're doing. Their standard broadband contract is a monthly rolling one so if you don't like it, you can cancel with no hassle. I recently upgraded to their fibre offering and it works a treat.

[Bug 1174259] [NEW] Network Manager sometimes fails to reconnect to WPA protected wi-fi network
Public bug reported: I regularly connect to two different wi-fi networks that use WPA/WPA2 Personal security. When the laptop accidentally loses connection to the network, it sometimes fails to re-establish the connection and asks for the password repeatedly. The only solution to fix that is to reboot. Steps to reproduce: 1. Connect to a wi-fi network with WPA/WPA2 Personal security, 2. Accidentally lose connection (by moving around with the laptop for example), 3. Network Manager attempts to reconnects, fails and asks for the network's password again, 4. Enter the password and click Connect, 5. Network Manager fails to connect and goes back to step 3. Expected behaviour: NM should reconnect without any issue. Note that this would never happen with 12.10 on the same machine so it looks like a regression.

[Bug 1170346] [NEW] Desktop freeze during update followed by boot problem and xorg crash
Public bug reported: I'm not sure this is the correct package nor whether it's a single bug but I'm happy to analyse further if someone can help me do so. I just did an apt-get dist-upgrade on my machine and here's what happened: 1. Ran sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; 2. At the point of setting up man DB, fans starts spinning up, unity locks up (apart from the mouse pointer); this seems to have been happening recently as a result of GPU lock ups; 3. CTRL+ATL+F2, logged in via console to force a reboot; 4. Laptop attempted to close processes but never managed to do so (while fan stayed on full speed); 5. Forcefully shut down the laptop; 6. On restart, I get a screen displayed saying that the system is on low graphics mode; 7. CTRL+ALT+F2 again to reboot; 8. Reboot happens as expected and I can log in to Unity; 9. A few seconds after login, apport fires up reporting an XOrg crash.

[Bug 1170356] [NEW] External screen on mini-DisplayPort no longer detected
Public bug reported: My laptop has a mini-DisplayPort and an HDMI port to which I can connect external monitors. When I plug it in into the HDMI port, it is properly recognised but when I plug it into the mini-DisplayPort, Unity fails to recognise the display. This used to work in 12.10. Steps to reproduce: 1. Plug in the external display to the HDMI port via an HDMI adapter: the Unity display extends to the second monitor 2. Plug the same display to the mini-DisplayPort adapter: the screen stay blank 3. Open System Settings - Displays: the external monitor is no detected.

[ubuntu-uk] Extended Validation SSL cert provider
Hi all, I know it's a bit off-topic but I'm sure some of you have gone through this. I am looking at buying an Extended Validation SSL certificate and wondered if anybody had a CA and reseller that they would recommend. From a CA perspective I was considering GeoTrust as they are a lot cheaper than the competition but I'm wondering whether there are any gotchas with a cheap certificate. From a reseller perspective, I would also like a UK or European reseller to make things simpler. Thanks for any suggestion. Cheers, Bruno -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

It's like all journalism today: link bait, sensationalist, context-free. Most things aren't as bad (or as good) as people make out. Having said that, I've used Unity a lot and have tried living with gnome-shell, Classic, Fallback, KDE, Cinnamon, MATE... but have settled on XFCE+Synapse. XFCE stays out of the way (I have a window list/system tray at the top and an autohide dock on the left), and Synapse gives me quick access to everything. I wouldn't slate Unity though. J I use unity because it's what people will end up using if I recommend Ubuntu to them. It makes sense for me to be familiar with it. I've never had cause to complain though. I completely agree with you Gareth. I've been using Unity since it became the default and I could never go back to GNOME 2. I also find that Unity gets completely out of the way in normal use, especially if you have the launcher on auto-hide. The keyboard shortcuts also make it very keyboard friendly. Regarding the Compiz crash, I've been on 13.04 for a couple of weeks and I do get Compiz crashes occasionally, usually when using Nautilus but when that happens, Compiz just restarts and everything is back to normal.

Re: Online Accounts, QtWebKit and Mir
On 19/03/13 12:51, Alberto Mardegan wrote: [...] As far as I can see it, these are the possibilities: 1) Implement the per-view cookie jar in WebKit2. This is the best end result, but the hardest to achieve -- at least for a non WekBit expert like me: it involves digging deep into WebKit code and, given all the big stakeholders involved, passing through the code reviews could take ages. 2) Same as above, but while the reviews are in progress, apply the patch to QtWebKit's Ubuntu packages. The longer the review process takes, the more painful this solution will be. 3) Implement QtQuick 2.0 bindings for WebKit*1*, and keep them as a separate module. I did this already, and it's more or less working [1]. This can link against an unmodified libQt5WebKit.so, but in order to build the module we need to use some private QtWebKit headers -- and since these headers are generated during the build, it practically means that we need to have the QtWebKit source tree available in order to build this. 4) Like #3, but move the module as an Ubuntu patch for QtWebKit. This is far less dangerous than #2, because we are not modifying the QtWebKit build, just adding a very small extra .so (which we might drop in the future). 5) Like #4, but submit the code upstream. As you can read from the links above, the QtWebKit developers are not very fond of receiving more WebKit1-based code. Still, it might be possible to move both the QtQuick 2.0 module and the QtWebKitWidgets modules out of the tree by working on a common interface, so maybe this approach might be well received. It looks like #1 is your strategic option, #2 is the strategic option with a provision for decoupling from the review process, #3, #4 and #5 are variations on the tactical option. I'd say #1 is the one to aim for but you need to remove the dependency on the review process. #2 is not a good way to do this because of the potential pain involved. You can de-couple the dependency by having one of the tactical options as a fallback. Out of the tactical options, #4 seems the best one as it is safer than #3 and won't meet the same (justified) resistance from upstream as #5. So what I would do is: - Implement #4 as your solution that works today, - Then implement #1 and try to land it in time. If it can't land in time, aim to deliver it in the next cycle as a replacement for #4. As long as you communicate clearly that #4 is tactical, only there to get you sorted for now and that your aim is #1, that should be a solution that satisfies upstream too.

The article is far too vague (and was factually incorrect but was corrected) to really say anything concrete about the phenomenon but the screenshot indicates that they were having issues with some Blizzard games, so it's probably a DRM issue with game clients rather than browsers. That's what I was thinking it is a vague article. I just wondered what kind of information our browsers gave up about us when running Linux It's device fingerprinting [1] in action. A large UK bank I work for uses this as one attribute that is fed to their fraud engine. It's a combination of server-side and client-side code (the client side being JavaScript) that is run every time one of their customers connect to their internet banking site. The fingerprint doesn't actually identify a unique device but it gives enough information to (1) identify when the user starts connecting to the bank with a new device and (2) compare the fingerprint with a database of known dodgy fingerprints. After that, the fraud engine's rules come into play and will use the fingerprinting results to calculate a final score that will be an indication of how likely the transaction is to be fraudulent. This is combined with other parameters, such as geographic info based on IP address. So for example, you could have rules that say: - new device but same location as last time: no problem - new device, new location but still in UK: let the transaction go through but contact the customer - new device from abroad: block the transaction It's the same sort of rules that are applied when you take cash out of an ATM: if you've always taken cash out in the UK and you suddenly take cash out in a country that is a fraud risk (e.g. Russia), it raises alarms and they may block the card. On the other hand, if you travel regularly and you often take cash out abroad, they may let it go through but contact you.

From a service point of view it's very frustrating for a bank to freeze an account without some kind of notification - my bank have frozen my account after a detecting a fraudulent transaction in the past, but they do have the courtesy of phoning to tell me that they're going to do it. Well, yes. When their fraud engine is properly configured, they should only block your card when there is a very serious fraud risk. Any other situation, they should notify you of the dodgy transactions and let you confirm whether they are legit or not. It would be interesting to know if this system is able to extract something from Firefox, Chrome and other browsers available to Ubuntu. Most if not all online banking services now work on Linux-based systems although we're still the poor cousin in terms of support. Not quite. All banks I've worked with run on UNIX, typically AIX or Solaris. Some are considering Linux and in particular RHEL but purely as an exercise to reduce costs and benefit from commodity x86 hardware (as opposed to IBM PPC or Oracle SPARC). Similarly, banks are very benefits focused in terms of what they support and as long as the Linux share of their web server stats is low, they won't (explicitly) support it. If I take the example of the one I work with, their logic is very simple: any browser + OS combination that shows more than 1% share will be explicitly supported. Interestingly, the result of this is that the recent rapid version changes in Firefox have meant that the reported share of FF has dropped because the logs have shown a fragmentation between different versions. Add to this that you have many different browsers on Linux and there is absolutely no chance that any given combination would reach 1% for the time being. On the other hand, such simple rules have meant that we've recently been able to drop explicit support for IE6! With regards to what device fingerprinting is able to extract, this depends on the browser but there are things that all of them expose. Panopticlick [1] is a good way to get an idea of the sort of information that this technique can extract. To come back to the original BBC article, something as simple as screen size and colour depth could have changed as a result of changing the motherboard.

For example, a combination of cron, unity and dash. Could one of the following be features.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Screencast a presentation with Impress and webcam
On 22/01/13 17:17, James Morrissey wrote: Hi, I am trying to put together a presentation for a conference. The conference is in Australia and rather than flying there i am trying to make a video of my presentation, following which i will skype into the QA plenary. I had thought of simply reading the paper, but worry this might get a little boring for the audience. So now i am thinking of including some impress slides into the presentation. With that in mind i also don't want to simply have my voice running over an impress slide. So i have thought of trying to make a screencast with an image from my webcam running in one of the corners. This seems easy enough, just set cheese (or some equivalent) running and record my desktop. The problem though is that i'd ideally like to be able to run impress in full screen mode. Doing so, however, covers up cheese - even if i set it to 'always on top'. In a perfect world i'd also be able to resize the video of myself, during the video, so that when the slide is more relevant to what i am saying it dominates the picture and when what i am saying is most relevant, my face does. The solution i thought of was to run cheese on one workspace and recordmydesktop on another, where Impress is running in full screen mode. I'd then give the talk, clicking through impress, with both recordings running. Following that i'd open one instance of Totem and another of VLC, one showing the cheese video of me and the other the screencast of Impress. I'd then record that desktop, resizing the cheese video, of myself, at the different parts of the talk. Unfortunately it seems that running recordmydestop means that cheese can't record from my webcam - it can show the image, but crashed when i hit record and now can't find my webcam. The same thing has happened with Kamoso which also now can't find the webcam. I was thus thinking that i could try and use a cam corder, and take a video of me giving the talk before taking a screen cast of the impress presentation, using the audio from the talk as my cue for clicking through the slides. I'd then stick the two of them together, as described above, recording the two videos playing on top of one another. Rather than do that, what about recording yourself with Cheese first and save the video to a file? No need for a camcorder. Then re-run the audio and click through the slides. Then save the screencast of the slides to another video file. Finally combine both videos using gstreamer picture-in-picture compositing abilities, as explained here: http://www.oz9aec.net/index.php/gstreamer/347-more-gstreamer-tips-picture-in-picture-compositing You could probably use a video editor to do this as well.

That particular one is a bit pricey for my target audience of potential new Ubuntu users. That may be part of the problem. I suspect that, as usual, business class machines like the ThinkPads will likely be properly implemented while consumer class machines probably less so. I look forward to a machine which is available in UK and also available without a Windows OS preinstalled. System 76 ship everywhere in Europe now, including the UK, have a International UK Keyboard Layout option and come pre-loaded with Ubuntu. It is interesting to speculate about just how I will be able to confirm that a chosen machine is, in the event, 'properly implemented' Even with machines with bios, it has been onerous to determine in advance, before purchase, which hardware, particularly laptops, would work well out of the box (with Ubuntu). Fortunately, Ubuntu has achieved really good compatibility with many machines, and improving. It will be important to encourage that trend. Yes. Maybe a wiki page with a rating (from Completely useless, avoid at all cost to Perfect) that we could all contribute to? So at least if any of us identifies how a particular model behaves, we can share the info.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Upgrade from 6.06LTS!

Clearly I have two options, either upgrade or reinstall. Reinstall seems safer, bar the fact that there is some software that I would need to disect the configuration of to reinstate (a backup using BoxBackup to be precise); that points towards a step by step upgrade path (8.04, 10.04 and 12.04), but I'm somewhat nervous of the number of possible gotchas present in this. Has anyone done this and could comment? Did it go smoothly?! The way I'd do this would be to back up your current server, including all the BoxBackup configuration. Then install 12.04 fresh and restore configuration from the backup. Also bear in mind that most software will have changed versions between 6.06 and 12.04 so you may need to re-do configuration from scratch anyway. So I'd say you need a plan: * List all the essential software on your server and their versions; * Document as much as possible about the configuration of all the software for which you explicitly changed the config (at least where the config files are); * Do a backup of everything on an external HDD or another machine; * Install from fresh; * Install all the additional packages you need; * Everything that you didn't need to configure last time round, leave alone, the config on the new version should work; * Everything that you needed to configure manually last time round, check version numbers on 12.04: if it's the same than 6.06, you should be able to restore config from your backup; if it's not the same, you will need to understand the differences before you use the old config; * Finally, 12.04 uses AppArmor, which 6.06 didn't use (or not to the same extent) so you may find that configurations that used to work in the past now fall foul of AppArmor, in which case you will have to tweak some policies: so every time you have an old config that used to work and is now failing due to user permissions, double check that it's not AppArmor being too restrictive rather than lose the will to live by trying umpteen variations with chmod and chown.

Quantal seems still to have the problem though.Barry. What's probably happened is that Raring is using a more recent version of CUPS than Quantal and the bug is fixed in the more recent version. Check what versions you have on both. If this is the case, they will not upgrade the version on the stable release (Quantal) because it would require quite a lot of regression testing (you never know what *else* the upgrade might break!). However, you can always mention in the bug report that the bug is fixed in Raring but still present in Quantal and ask whether there is any possibility the fix could be backported.

I'd use Android (well personally I'd use iOS on an Apple tablet) until there's an actual usable Ubuntu tablet. I installed Ubuntu on my Nexus 7 and I fully agree with Popey: the current version is meant for development in order to understand what works and what doesn't so that it can be fixed for 13.04. Only install it if you are a developer / tester who intends to contribute to bug reports and fixes. For general usage, it's currently at the barely usable on a good day and if the planets align properly stage, even more so if you have sausage fingers like me (mainly because the UI is very dependant on mouse / keyboard interaction, nothing that can't be fixed). Note that the installation notes also tell you how to flash back the Android image. Also bear in mind that the current install will wipe your device. If you actually have a use for a tablet now, by all means buy the Nexus 7, it's a nice device but keep Android on it for the time being. If you are not interested in Android and really want Ubuntu on a tablet, wait until 13.04 beta is out so that you have something that starts to work properly.

Hello All The icon is a magnifying glass, at least in the Gnome Ubuntu Remix 12.10 which I'm using at the moment out of curiosity. I've got it pinned to the favourites. Very useful.
