Re: [ubuntu-in] Request for ubuntu Goodies

I would not recommend Free Media. Charge them a nominal rate e.g. Rs 10 for Media or sell it at a no-profit, no-loss basis else they would end up being used at teacup-base.

Rohit Gupta wrote: but by goodies we also mean stikers, badges, cups, t-shirt or just anything with ubuntu flavour in it. These goodies will be given to participants in our event. We request you to help us with anything. These goodies are a source of inspiration for GNU/Linux. I can understand this, but we too have a LUG in our college and we had to finally publicize that we are here for people hunting for knowledge and not for people who come for materialistic gains. We even frowned upon the certificates distribution since it hardly carries any weight. As I told in the above paragraph, we were also skeptical that people won't like the events without goodies. If you want to give them an inspiration, then better help them out personally. I mean going to them, discussing about their experiences, their problems, the future plans. That's counts more and gives a personal touch. All the above lines I stated above is all from my personal experiences, you can try them out. Success/Failure depends on the type of public that attends the meet. I have personally used ubuntu (7.1,8.1) and am using ubuntu studio now and I would say ubuntu has done great job in spreading GNU/Linux to beginners.

Create the iso, keep it on a flash drive + the deb installer of aptoncd from /var/cache/apt/archives Now install Ubuntu Studio again. Goto you flash drive, install aptoncd.deb manually by double clicking on the deb file. Now when aptoncd is installed, goto SystemAdministrationAptoncd and then click on Restore button. Select the iso from the location where you stored it. Click on restore and its back to the repository.

निशांत / Nishant wrote: None till date, but that is no guarantee that it can't happen in future. If you are in a situation that you need to rebuild tree, its the most scariest. Yeah! Heard about it. Am safe since I run Ubuntu on laptop which has a power-backup from battery. Still X-crash and many other unusual freezes do make me do a hard-reboot(sometimes). Best thing is fastest recovery from unclean shutdowns, journal replays are really fast on reiserfs. You can experience the speed from the moment you issue mkreiserfs on an 100GB partition, its over within a few seconds. Another awesome thing is the speed of file operations. I took me 2 secs just to delete a 700MB file. I had a valve folder which contains CS, which it deleted instantly.

Speed is also required. Which FS do you use presently? I have used JFS once and didn't find it so tempting to stick forever. Apart from JFS, ext3 and reiserfs are the two others which I have used. Reiserfs: Extremely fast, the fastest I have ever seen, just that there are lots of criticisms about its data corruption. It is said that once the filesystem becomes corrupt and internal tree is unstable, then trying to improve it ever damages it furthur. Well, I havn't come across such a situation. Reiserfs also faces some criticism that due to some delayed write phenomenon, data corruption occours. i don't know much about the exact technical terminology relating to it. As of now, I wont shift to any other filesystem. I could never have thought that deleting a file of size 650MB can take only 2-3 secs. When it comes to data corruption, I never faced it till now. It happened only once, that too in JFS ( whole filesystem became unusable, probably due to my mistake ) -- Manish Sinha Blog [ http://blog.manishsinha.net/ ] Tech Blog [ http://manishtech.wordpress.com/ ] Twitter [ http://twitter.com/ManishSinha ] -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

All OS have their own share of problems. Creating an Operating System is a very daunting task. It's actually a Rocket Science of computers. I also tried to set-up bluetooth .but failed. Can you highlight for what you are trying to use Bluetooth? Bluetooth Dongle? or File Transfer from Phone? If its latter (file transfer) then install *obexpushd* package and open ApplicationsAccessoriesBluetooth File Transfer and then try transferring the files. Can it be possible i can cancel all apps installation of certain period . windows user shifted to linux All applications installed of certain period? Can you be more specific.

I also know people using it, but they are still outnumbered by people who prefer other players. No offence meant, but its not at par with Banshee, or Amarok. Again its personal taste. Can you explain why people move away from it to other players? Atleast I can, since other players are far better than Rythmbox. Ambika, I suggest you to get a good music player for your needs. This may sound harsh, but this is the fact. Rythmbox is in the same state as Windows Media Player of Windows 98. Can you back up your statement with a fact/proof? The last release I see was made during July 2008. What do you mean by in the same state of? Fact/Proof? It's my personal experiences. I never found anything so great in it.
