Bonjour Francine,
1er: ne jamais publier de mot de passe personnel, c'est dangereux

Je comprends que vous avez Windows d'inclus dans votre machine, si vous n'en 
voulez pas, il ne faut pas chercher dans le magasin Microsoft.

Pour télécharger Ubuntu:
https://ubuntu.com/#download
ou celle que je préfère, la variante Unity:
https://ubuntuunity.org

Prenez préférablement une version LTS (support à long terme, nouvelle version 
aux 2 ans)

de là, il faudra passer l'image du fichier télécharger vers un DVD ou une CLÉ 
USB (préférable).

sous Windows, il vous faudra un utilitaire afin d'y arriver, voir:
https://rufus.ie/fr/
ou
https://unetbootin.github.io/

une fois que cela sera fait, il faudra s'assurer d'apporter quelques petites 
modifications au BIOS (la partie de l'ordinateur qui défini le comportement des 
différentes composantes), le BIOS est spécifique à la machine, n'ayant pas de 
DELL, je ne peux pas être précis, quelqu'un d'autre pourra probablement aider. 
Il faudra désactiver le mode "SECURE BOOT" et mettre en mode "LEGACY", ensuite 
trouver la façon de démarrer depuis la clé USB.
Lorsqu'il aura été possible de démarrer depuis la CLÉ USB, s'assurer d'essayer 
le système afin de vérifier l'entière compatibilité des composantes tel 
l'audio/vidéo, le réseau et WIFI, la caméra, etc.

Vous ne souhaitez vraiment pas conserver Windows, donc pas besoin de conserver 
une copie de sécurité du disque, mais si vous le souhaitez, il faudra agir 
avant d'installer Ubuntu car il va disparaître définitivement. ;)

Une fois les composantes testées, il restera à cliquer sur l'icône 
d'installation d'Ubuntu situé en haut à gauche et suivre les étapes à l'écran, 
les options par défaut sont très simples et ça ne va prendre que quelques 
minutes, ensuite un redémarrage et le tour est joué.

c'est une réponse rapide, n'oubliez pas d'explorer, mais très important, il 
faut cesser de penser Windows, Ubuntu possède une logithèque où se retrouvent 
des milliers d'applications, à vous de trouver ce qui vous plaît.

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

If you look at the minimum suggested requirements for Ubuntu Desktop
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements),
you'll note the recommended minimum is

"25 GB of hard-drive space (or USB stick, memory card or external drive
but see LiveCD for an alternative approach)"

You mention 6GB, which is a fair bit below the 25GB recommended minimum.

Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing
future users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg.
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your
problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community
http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or
https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

I've marked this incomplete, as it seems to be user/operator error.
Further you seem to be seeking support (this can be changed into a
question which will be about support).

If you believe I've missed something, or have made an error, please
leave a comment with the details and you may change the status back to
"New".

Re: [ubuntu-uk] help on debugging desktop issue?

[Alan Lord]

Just as a follow up on this one. I gave up trying to fix my existing 
user - I couldn't really find much online as to what the issue might 
have been, and not much on the logs either.


So I just created a new user, and then moved all the data I needed 
across to that one. It was a PITA and took ages but at least it works 
now. One bonus is I now have a clean desktop again ;-)

This is with GNOME, I presume?

I'd guess that you have some extensions or something to customise your
GNOME setup? I cannot get on with GNOME 3 at all, and one of the
issues is that if I add a ton of extensions, I can turn it into
something more like Unity or Windows or something -- but then the next
GNOME version upgrade inevitably horribly breaks the whole thing, and
I have to completely nuke my GNOME config and start over. (And each
time it's extra work, because some extensions are incompatible with
the new version, or have gone out of support, or have changed name or
been forked, etc.)

So I stopped using GNOME altogether. I am currently trialling the
Unity remix, but it's a bit bloated and still has a ton of GNOME
accessories with the by silly "client side decorations" etc. Not
ideal. My other alternative, and my default on other distros, is Xfce.

My suggestions would be:
[1] to do some investigation of how you can selectively delete your
GNOME customisations and leave your email settings or whatever you
need intact.
[2] seriously consider switching desktops. There are other projects
out there which listen to their users.
[3] I'd suggest trying to get the GNOME team to address this, by
adding a GNOME safe mode, or a settings-sanitising tool, or something
like that, but trying to get the GNOME devs to accept that something
is less than perfect is what Douglas Adams would have called a
"recreational impossibility". The fact that they chose Javascript to
implement GNOME Shell tells you all you need to know about their
position towards reliability, stability, supportability etc.

[ubuntu-uk] help on debugging desktop issue?

[Alan Lord]

Hi all,

At the weekend I upgraded my desktop PC from 18.04 to 20.04. Every 
morning after power up when I log in, once the desktop loads, any icons 
on the desktop do not get drawn and all of the launcher buttons do not 
respond to mouse clicks (nor does the top bar) so I have to CTL+ALT+F5 
and login to a shell and reboot. If I move my ~/.config directory out of 
the way, before I log in, then the desktop works OK for the rest of that 
day. I can copy directories from the moved ~/.config (for things like 
Chrome history, nautilus bookmarks, etc...)


But the following day, after being powered down I have the same problem 
when I login in the morning. It's a PITA.


I've also tried removing the ~/.cache dir and that doesn't seem to help 
at all. I am loathe to move ~./local as this has over 70 sub directories 
in it with years of useful metadata in it I guess. It would take ages to 
work out which dir (if there is one) is the cause...



How do I go about debugging this? What log files are likely to be 
relevant? Anyone seen anything similar?



Just FYI, I'm not at home today so no rush  Am on my laptop which I 
upgraded to 20.04 a while ago with no problems at all ;-)



Cheers

Al

Hi Tony,

I have been talking with the dev guys on IRC and they confirmed that I

in the upstream channel and will be included in the stable channel in

Go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Avengers  This is the staring point for
filing Touch bugs.

I think the appropriate place to file a bug is 'System Settings' under Apps
or maybe 'Network Indicator' under Indicators.  Network Manager package is
for the desktop.

One thing that you might be getting is what I have had problems with when
trying to connect to my brother's WiFi this week.  Here I found that if you
do not put the password in quickly enough, then it does not connect.  The
way I got round it was to write the password in Notes, then copy it and
paste it quickly into the password field.

[ubuntu-uk] Help required filing a bug against Ubuntu Touch

[Barry Titterton]

Hi All,

I think that I have found a bug on Ubuntu Touch to do with accessing
wifi networks, and need advice on which package to file it against.

Yesterday (Saturday 27th) I installed UT onto a Nexus 4 16Gb phone. I
found that I could not connect to my home wifi if I selected the SSID
off the list of available networks, but it would connect if I used the
'Hidden Networks' option and typed in both the SSID and the password.

Should I file this bug against Network Manager package?

[Seth Arnold]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

That should be exactly what you ought to be seeing.  It possibly could 
have been effected by the failed first attempt at installing, but I 
doubt it.  You said When I start the computer up, I do not get a GRUB 
menu.  I can only start Ubuntu from the computer's F12 boot menu.  It 
will then show a GRUB menu, which includes Windows Boot loader.


I've never see anything like this!  When you start the boot menu, what 
exactly do you see?  I imagine either the re-installed, or the original 
install was told to install to a partition.  I think that would have 
caused the problem.  From memory, I think if the advanced options were 
used (the 'something else' item in the installer), and you installed to 
a partition instead of to a disk, then grub doesn't get put on as a 
disk-boot installation.



Also, which package should I report the bug under?
Why should I report it from the Live USB?


The problem occurred while running the installer.  The installer is 
called 'ubiquity', and that doesn't exist on your installation, only on 
the disk.  However, if you are seeing a grub screen with both Ubuntu and 
Windows on the boot menu, then that is where the problem lies, and it is 
not a bug.  Some screenshots would help, you would need to use a camera 
though.  A screenshot of the menu that comes up when you press f12, and 
one of the grub screen you get to from there, if that is what you are 
seeing.


If I've misunderstood, please describe exactly how you get into Ubuntu.

Regards,Barry

 I think we are back to the problem I said you would get if the installer
 installed from the normal boot menu and not from the grub screen which only
 appears when you boot the disk in EFI mode.  Look at the EFI boot partition
 - it is a small partition at the beginning of the drive.  It is only about
 240 MB in size.  In it, there will be Windows boot instructions in one
 directory, and if it has installed correctly, there ought to be an Ubuntu
 directory in the same partition with Ubuntu instructions.  If it is not
 there, the installer has installed in BIOS mode - and strictly, the two
 systems shouldn't be mixed.

Ubuntu is EFI as well. This is according to tests in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI under Identifying if the computer

Ubuntu DVD in UEFI mode

There is a partition called LRS_ESP (520MB, msdos) which has folders EFI
and onekey.  The EFI folder only contains a folder Microsoft

If the Ubuntu directory is there, then there is a bug in the installer, you
 should report it.  In your case, it ought to be fixable by re-installing
 grub and doing an update.  That should (hopefully) not stop the ability to
 boot Windows, but only from the new grub screen.  No guarantees!  If you do
 report it as a bug, let me know - I can probably confirm it after a couple
 of tests.


I don't want to do anything that will risk not being able to boot Windows.
I'm unlikely to use it much but there are some circumstances that may arise
where I need it.


 If it has been installed in BIOS mode, you may get away with it if you do
 an 'install-grub' followed by an 'update-grub', but this process WILL
 destroy the ability to boot directly into Windows as you can now do.
 Hopefully, update-grub will find both systems and allow proper booting of
 both OSs from the new grub screen that will appear.  I can't guarantee it
 though, hence the BIG note of caution.  Be prepared to re-install Windows.

 In the latter case, the safer option would be to re-install Ubuntu from a
 disk booting in EFI mode and to use the disk boot grub screen.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Help! - problem installing Ubuntu

[Tony Pursell]

I found that 'ubuntu' was listed in the computer's boot menu, so I tried
that and it booted Ubuntu to the log in screen.  However, I could not get
past the log in, so something was missing from the install.

So I did a re-install from the USB stick using the complete re-install
option in the installer and it worked fine, completing OK this time.  I
must say, I am impressed by the way the installer works these days.  My
last full install was with 12.04.

I do, however, have a residual problem.  When I start the computer up, I do
not get a GRUB menu.  I can only start Ubuntu from the computer's F12 boot
menu.  It will then show a GRUB menu, which includes Windows Boot loader.
Is there a way to go straight to the GRUB menu?  I have followed a lot of

 The Ubuntu partition will be all there.  No files will be missing.   The
 problem will occur if Ubuntu is not installing in EFI mode.  If it tries to
 install in BIOS mode, the installation of grub that it carries out will
 overwrite the BIOS boot sector on your HD.  You can't see any files on a
 BIOS boot sector.  All the files will be there, but if it did install with
 BIOS boot, it will mess up EFI boot.What I am saying is I don't know
 for certain what effect that will have.  Hopefully, grub will find Windows
 and make it bootable as dual boot.  I hope that will be the case, but make
 sure you have the potential to reinstall Windows just in case you have to.

[ubuntu-uk] Help! - problem installing Ubuntu

[Tony Pursell]

Hi All

I'm installing Ubuntu 15.04 on a new computer - a cheap and cheerful Lenovo
50 Pentium from Ebuyer.

I chose to install alongside Windows and resized the partition to give
about 50GB to Windows and 329GB to Ubuntu.

The install then seem to go well and got to the stage of removing unwanted
packages, but now it has been stuck on 'Completely removing xfsprogs
(amd64)' for over half an hour.

The little icon that replaces the pointer when something is working is not
going round and there is no response to moving the mouse.

I suspect there could be a message box under the Install window.

Is there anything I can do?  Should I just remove the USB and reboot?

 by grub   It messes the EFI partition up by installing grub into the
 boot sector.  Not quite sure what it will do then.  Make sure you can
 re-install Windows - you may have to.

I don't know for certain what effect that will have.  Hopefully, grub

be the case, but make sure you have the potential to reinstall Windows

[ubuntu-uk] Help with perl

[Gareth France]

I posted about choosing a new laptop recently and have settled on a 
machine, set it up and I'm just getting settled in. I use a perl script 
for work and have discovered it doesn't work any more. It is asking for 
the Text/CSV.pm module which I have installed. However it still produces 
the following error when run:


Can't locate Text/CSV.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Text::CSV 
module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl 
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.20.1 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20 /usr/share/perl5 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20 /usr/share/perl/5.20 
/usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at kt74 parse line 4.


I have located the file in question and copied it to every one of these 
locations however I've had no luck. Is there anyone out there who can 
point me in the direction of a solution? It's driving me mad now!

It's likely to be a component of Text::CSV that's missing. Best practise is
to install perl modules either with apt or with cpan, (seems to be
libtext-csv-perl for apt) so you get all the dependencies.

I used CPAN to install, however apt has sorted it.

Perfect, thanks.

[ubuntu-uk] Help required to confirm a problem

[Barry Titterton]

Hi,

Can someone on the list please help me by confirming a problem with 
Libreoffice?


I find that documents created using Libreoffice 4 (Ubuntu 14.04) do not 
always display the same when opened using LO 3 (Ubuntu 12.04).
I have created a test document. It is an A4 document, in landscape, with 
two columns. Only the left hand column contains text:-


 https://www.dropbox.com/s/s5spcaa19ob9d10/Test%20document.odt

- Open this in both LO 3 and LO 4, and it looks the same.

- Now change the font to FreeSans, save a copy and open it again in both 
LO 3 and LO 4. On my machines, when viewed using LO 4, it has text only 
in the left hand column, but when viewed using LO 3 the text has 
expanded in to the right hand column as well.


I would appreciate it if someone can confirm whether this behaviour is a 
Libreoffice bug, or is it just something strange about my set up.


Regards,

Barry T

Re: [ubuntu-in] help with BSNL Broadband Connection

Add that file. In /etc/resolv.conf add nameserver entries.

Ensure those name-servers are reachable! Do a ping 8.8.8.8 first.

Call up bsnl customer service (or visit their office ;)

[Bug 1271492] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 help section still has option What's new in Ubuntu 13.10?

[Doug Smythies]

Yes, we know.

The Ubuntu Desktop documentation is both a package and a project. The
documentation group works on the project, and in the project the what
new page has been changed. The package will not be updated until the end
of the cycle. The actual content of the whats new page, beyond the 14.04
part, also isn't updated until just before documentation string freeze,
because we don't know whats new yet.

Thanks for your bug report, but I'm setting it to invalid.

[Bug 973981] Re: Ubuntu 11.10 help page for kerberos and ldap uses deprecated commands

[John Kim]

Updated description with links to 13.04 serverguide.

** Tags added: serverguide

** Description changed:

+ https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/serverguide/kerberos.html
+ https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/serverguide/openldap-server.html
+ 
  In step 5 of the Ubuntu 11.10 help page for Kerberos and LDAP it tells
  the user to add the kerberos schema to the existing schema using the
  command:
  
  ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,cn=config -W -f /tmp/cn\=kerberos.ldif
  
  which no longer works as of openLDAP something or other.
  
  The new command can be found on the samba and ldap help page for 11.10
  which uses the proper syntax:
  
  sudo ldapadd -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f cn\=samba.ldif
  
  which modified for the Kerberos tutorial would be:
  
  sudo ldapadd -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f cn\=kerberos.ldif

I'm not sure if we will need it anymore, since I now have access to the 
abandoned source code. But I will see if it has a logo in use, and if it does, 
I will send it through the mailing list. 

No guidelines really, just update the original.

[ubuntu-art] Help for a png file

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Hi ubuntu art team!

I have a little bug in one program I maintain, and I think you can fix it :p

this can be trivial for you, but it isn't for me, I even don't know how to save 
a png file in gimp, I don't understand anything of graphic stuff (even if I 
find it interesting I'm not good at all).

the bug is this one
http://code.google.com/p/hedgewars/issues/detail?id=623

and the file is here

would be nice if somebody can increase the resolution, taking something from 
other images, don't know, you are the art team, I don't understand how to do... 
:)

I'm attaching you the hwengine.png, the other png could be found there...

https://code.google.com/p/hedgewars/source/browse/#hg%2Fshare%2Fhedgewars%2FData%2FGraphics

Can anybody please help us?

[ubuntu-art] Help for a PNG file

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Hi everybody I answer once for everyone!

First many thanks for your help I appreciate it a lot!

The file isn't really a png, but an ICO file, sorry as I said I make confusion 
because I just use it :-) I understand that for you can make a lot of 
difference :-)

Second no need to use gimp, this is a low res ico file, would be nice to 
increase the res (maybe by taking a hogs from the resource directory and add a 
gear don't know)

The file is this one, as you can see when you switch between applications you 
almost don't even understand which application belongs to.

http://hedgewars.googlecode.com/hg/hedgewars/hwengine.ico

I really don't know how to do this, any help is appreciated!

Many thanks

[Ubuntu-QC] Help - gel du portable

[jm_barrette63]

Bonjour,

Je possède depuis 6 mois, un portable de marque Acer - Aspire 5250-0665. J'ai 
téléchargé le système d'exploitation Ubuntu 12-04 et tout fonctionnait très 
bien jusqu'à tout récemment. Quand j'ouvre l'ordi, tout gèle presque tout de 
suite. Par ailleurs, à l'occasion, tout fonctionne bien mais c'est très rare. 
Il arrive que je puisse ouvrir un dossier par exemple mais à un moment donné et 
rapidement, l'ordi gèle. Comme j'ai conservé le système d'exploitation windows, 
j'ai ouvert avec ce système et tout fonctionne normalement. Pouvez-vous m'aider 
à régler ce problème?

Merci à l'avance.

Re: [Ubuntu-QC] Help - gel du portable

[Frédéric Côté]

Bonjour,

La première chose que je ferais c'est un test de mémoire (avec memtest). Si
vous avez un menu grub au démarrage (pour choisir entre Ubuntu et Windows),
il y a dans les choix memtest. Sinon, vous pouvez toujours utiliser un
LiveCD et choisir l'option memtest (au lieu de Installer ou Essayer)

Dans un deuxième temps, si l'ordinateur gèle une fois le système
completement démarré et à des moments aléatoire, je vérifirais la
température des différents composants (CPU, RAM, GPU, HDD) pour voir si il
n'y en a pas un qui chauffe (c'est souvent le cas dans des ordinateurs
portables).

Ensuite, ça sera la tournée des logs mais à ce point quelqu'un d'autre
devra prendre la relève car je suis null en ce qui concerne les logs.

Bonne journée,
Frédéric

[Tradutores-Ubuntu] Fwd: Help improving webapps' i18n support

[Miguel Bouzada]

From: David Planella david.plane...@ubuntu.com
Date: 2012/11/4
Subject: Help improving webapps' i18n support
To: Translators, Ubuntu ubuntu-translat...@lists.ubuntu.com


Hi translators,

A fix for webapps to display the Firefox prompts in the user's locale
has just been uploaded to the quantal-proposed repository.

In order for this fix to be shipped to all users, it needs to be
verified. I would like to ask you to help with testing and verifying
it's been fixed in as many languages as possible.

I should not take more than a few minutes to follow these steps:

1. Enable the quantal-proposed repository in Software Sources
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-common
4. Restart Firefox
5. Open a site with webapp support (e.g. Gmail)
6. Verify that the message on the quicklist for the Launcher icon
   is localized
7. Leave the feedback on the bug and change the verification-needed tag.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from
verification-needed to verification-done.  If it does not, change the
tag to verification-failed.

For more details, see the original bug report text below.

Thanks!

Cheers,
David.

enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from
verification-needed to verification-done.  If it does not, change the
tag to verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing
will help us make a better decision.

Bug description:
  [IMPACT]
  Language detection code will not work for some languages

  [TESTCASE]
  1. LC_ALL=zn_CN.UTF8 firefox
  2. open gmail
  action's name in launcher should be localized

  [Regression Potential]
   none

  Currently the code to detect the user's language preference to load
  the translations for webapps is the following (in common/utils.js):

  var lang = unsafeWindow.navigator.language; //TODO: came up with a
  better approach

  if (dict.hasOwnProperty(lang)  dict[lang].hasOwnProperty(strid)) {
  return dict[lang][strid];
  } else {
  return strid;
  }

  'dict' is a variable containing a JSON string that is populated at
  build time with the contents of the translations in .po files in the
  source tree. It includes the locale code as read from the .po (or
  LINGUAS) files, which is a gettext-style locale code.

  The problem is that the 'lang' variable as returned from the browser
  in some cases won't match the user's locale. This is mainly due to the
  fact that Firefox uses IETF-style language codes, whereas the system
  uses gettext-style language codes. That means for some languages there
  won't be a match, and thus translations won't be loaded. Here's an
  example for Simplified Chinese:

  - Gettext locale code: zh_CN
  - Firefox locale code: zh-cn

  So there must be a translation gettext - Firefox (and Chromium, if it
  returns locales in a different format) at build time, so that locale
  names from the system and from the browser can match and translations
  can be loaded.

  Also notice that in some cases either the country code in the locale
  code might be present in the system locale but not in the browser, and
  viceversa, so it might be an idea to ignore the country code apart
  from some exceptions (e.g. zh_CN and zh_TW, pt_BR, etc., to name a
  few)

[ubuntu-uk] Help required with a wi-fi networking problem

[Barry Titterton]

Hi,

There is an established bug for WPA Enterprise wi-fi networks:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpasupplicant/+bug/969343/+index?comments=all

In the past few days a fix to the wpasupplicant package has been 
proposed that requires the user to enable the precise-proposed 
repository (see comment #109 in the above bug report/discussion). My 
question is:-


If I follow the wiki instructions for enabling the precise-proposed 
repository, what happens to my computer when the fix is released as an 
official update? Will I need to disable the precise-proposed repository? 
The laptop runs ubuntu 12.04.


Background:-
My wife has just started as a mature(!?!) student at St Johns college in 
Durham university. The university network uses the aforementioned WPA 
Enterprise encryption system. All other students on her course use 
either Windows or Macs and they have, with a little struggle,  manged to 
connect to the university network. My wife's ubuntu laptop is the only 
machine that has, so far, failed to establish a connection. I will not 
be able to check if the fix has worked until I go into college tonight.


Are there any other Durham students on the mailing list, or students of 
other academic institutions, that have had this problem with their 
university's wi-fi network?


Cheers,

Barry T

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Help required with a wi-fi networking problem

If you've enabled precise-proposed (or precise-backports etc) then you
get access to some newer, developmental bugfix packages etc
If the fixed wpasupplicant package is then uploaded to the main
'precise' repository, which is enabled by default, then all's well. I
like to keep all the precise-* repos enabled because it gives you access
to fixes and new features that have trickled through from upstream,
without having to jump to the next release(s).

Short answer: i'd keep precise-proposed access enabled.

Happy to help get your wife's connection sorted. I'm at university
myself and new linux users often have to sink or swim with things like
this: take this life jacket ;)

Thanks for the quick reply, and the reassurance.

Have you had similar problems connecting to the wi-fi at your university?

Durham has close links with Microsoft, and the IT department only offers 
help for problems with Microsoft software products. Their support for 
Macs is minimal and grudging, there is no general help for linux except 
for specific help for the high performance computing facility. There is 
a little linux help if you are from another university and trying to 
access the Eduroam system. My request for help sent to the IT Help Desk 
has gone unanswered.
I had hoped to do some gentle linux evangelizing among the unbelievers 
but this rather public problem has got things off to a bad start. I 
shall have to be patient.

Well, i did have some problems at first trying to connect to the
wireless network on campus, but then i had a quick look and found
there's a certificate to use and after 5 minutes of messing around, i
figured it out and it works wonderfully.

I know - it's a bit of a mess, the current state of so called 'IT
expertise' - why, just this week my friend went to see the IT department
on campus about recovering some deleted files from linux and they didn't
have a clue. Problem solved after using 'photorec' and 'scalpel'
ourselves. It's seems like the prerequisite for being an 'IT
professional' is knowing how to click a few buttons on microsoft office
- everyone working on IT support should be familiar with at least 1
linux distro, really. The operating systems are free, and if you're
trying to help people for a living, there will be people who use this -
it costs nothing but time to learn a few commands.
They think everyone uses windows and the odd (rich) person uses a mac,
but the linux users are fringe rebels lol I would bet heavily that you
either don't get a reply, or it isn't any use when it arrives. They're
just not clued in: what you need is another linux user from the online
community or nearby.

I think UK universities (can't say what state other country's are in)
need to expand their knowledge on linux because often times the solution
is just 1 tiny command instead of a 2 page list of clicking instructions.

As far as your problem goes, a bug will come to light every now and then
when new code is added or old code is reviewed, and then it gets fixed.
I had a look at your link to the bug on launchpad and it seems to affect
the openssl package as well. Once the packages are in the repositories
and you've got those repos enabled, update and upgrade and try
connecting again. Keep us apprised of the details and we'll have it
sorted in no time - it's usually just a case of messing around with the
configurations (and it only ever gets complicated because IT departments
are NEVER specific enough about the details, whereas e.g. on your own
home network, you call the shots and you have access to specific settings.)

Try not to get discouraged because prevailing over these tiny obstacles
does pay off in the long run.

Hi Barry,

It looks like Durham uses eduroam. In which case, you may be able to 
follow the excellent (including Ubuntu specific!) instructions from 
Cambridge university: http://www.ucs.cam.ac.uk/wireless/eduroam/localusers


I think they should apply wherever you're based.

Kind regards,

Tim

Success! The fix from precise-proposed worked perfectly. My wife will 
give it a full road test next week.


I got a reply from the Durham uni' IT help desk. It said that they do 
not support linux and suggested using the Win7 settings as a clue. The 
irony being that the Win7 settings do not work for windows machines 
either, an IT savvy student managed to get the windows machines working 
despite the IT department. I shall have to offer my services to the IT 
help desk to write a linux guide for them. I have also made contact with 
the local LUG which should be a much better source for tech help.


I shall also have to put a comment on the bug discussion thread, if I 
can remember my log on details.

[ubuntu-in] Help with a database

[Ramnarayan.K]

Hi

Some time back  i was attempting to set up a drupa website. The site was
functional and had data on it along with some images and downloadable
files. (Am trying to differentiate between the text typed in through the
drupal interface and the content that was uploaded trhough the hosting
side).

Due to some problems - some mistake in configuring a module the site went
blank.

Of course we did not have a backup - does that sort of problem happen to
some one else :-)

We were able to get a mysql database file - which i assume has the text
contents and the links to the data uploaded on the hosting site. Atleast we
think that the mysql dump has the data.

The question is  - can i import this database into an offline software to
know what kind of data exists (if at all)

the file is named something like this eurofoo_drp2.sql (eurofoo_drp2.zip is
the compressed version)

thanks

OSTicket (http://osticket.com) is the best available open source 
ticketing system. We have been running it successfully at 
http://customercare.niamcomputech.com for lats 2 years without any problem.

[ubuntu-in] Help for Ticketing System

[0oo_Neo_oo0 I m W0T I m]

Dear all
I just plan to deploy ticketing system at are end where our co-ordinator will 
enter day to day calls on the system and end of the day team leader will get 
full details of calls and field engineers status.
For that I am searching opensource solution. At present I've tried with OTRS 
and VTIGER but there i need to change so many thing in front end.
Here I am talking about approx 60 users, 2 Zone, 4 Team, 4 team leaders, and 
other then that field engineers who get calls from office or Team leaders.
Thank you in advance  

Rgs.
