[Ubuntu-QC] Script to cure - Espace disque saturé par les anciens noyaux
First, my apologies for writing in English only. I do read French but as a transplanted American write it rather poorly. But to the point, a great solution to the problem of too many old and no longer needed kernels is a script written by Kim Kulak, Fearless Founder of Ubuntu Vancouver. Kim has given me permission to share his script with Ubuntu users everywhere. Here is Kim's description of what his script does. "What the script does is make a list of all the kernels installed on your system. From that list it removes the kernels you want to keep, the last installed kernel, the previously installed kernel, and the currently running kernel. (Note that the presently running kernel is almost always the same as the last installed kernel.) The script will then print the list of kernels it will keep and a list of the kernels it will purge,and then prompt you for your password so that it can purge the unneeded kernels. You'll then see a lot of output as the kernels are purged and your grub menu is updated." Please do wait until the script finishes. It may take several minutes and works around for each kernel being removed. A little patience, eh? Were one (or more) of the technically advanced members of Ubuntu Quebec to request it I would gladly send Kim's "purge-kernel" script to them. It truly can be run by any user capable of opening a terminal and following two very simple steps. Or even by a couple of simple steps in Nautilus or Caja. From personal experience I know it works as described for my UnbuntuMate 14.04 LTS as well as for my wife's Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. For those using the script from Nautilus or Caja they must first set the properties of the script file to be executable in a terminal. For those using the script directly in a terminal here are the two simple commands (assuming one has saved the script to one's home folder.) N.B., the first command need only be run once as it sets the file properties. The two commands are: chmod +x purge-kernel ./purge-kernel N.B., Ubuntu Vancouver was begun in March 2009 and can be found in Meetup at http://www.meetup.com/ubuntuvancouver/ .

Re: [Ubuntu-QC] Vol 92, P4 - Logiciel pour nettoyer les noyaux
First, svp, pardon my responding in English but I am sitting on Canada's west coast wanting to share a script posted at our Ubuntu Vancouver LoCo's Meetup site. (N.B., I have the script's author's permission to share it with you.) I have been running Ubuntu on my now ten year old DELL PC for more than six years (now at 12.04 LTS) and have used Kim Kulak's purge-kernel script for the past few years with no problem and with the desired result of retaining the current kernel and one previous kernel. This provides a safety net should one later encounter problems with the current kernel. Is there someone to whom I could send a copy of Kim's script along with the his instructions for consideration and translation of the script's description and instructions for use? Else I could provide the script's location on the Ubuntu Vancouver LoCo Meetup site but access there would require at least a temporary (no-cost) Meetup membership. Whilst I do read French (and bear a truly French name) I do not want to put you through the pain of reading any French text I might write. Je vous remercie d'avoir lu mon message.

[Ubuntu-QC] Des contacts au Nouveau-Brunswick
Cette automne, nous déménageons de Vancouver, C-B, à Saint-Jean, Nouveau-Brunswick. En préparation j'ai essayé par Internet de trouver des groupes ou des gens, sois en français ou en anglais, au N-B qui sont intéressés par Ubuntu, Linux, LibreOffice ou autre logiciels libres, mais jusqu’à présent sans résultats. Donc, y-aurait-il des membres de cette liste qui sont au Nouveau-Brunswick ou qui ont des contacts dans les environs de Saint-Jean, N-B ? Merci d'avance pour votre aide.
