Re: [ubuntu-uk] Private Directory in home
2009/2/22 Jai Harrison j...@jaiharrison.com: I've been using the Private directory inside my home folder. Unfortunately when I changed my password (using passwd) it prevented my directory from mounting again. Can anyone tell me how can I go about fixing it so it mounts with my new password? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory Do the sections Recovering Your Data Manually and Recovering Your Mount Passphrase help?

[ubuntu-uk] A relatively quick £100 for anyone i n London who can do this
As I have explained, I have a brand new machine with ubuntu pre-installed, which was assembled in the USA. A kernel update caused the driver to become inoperable because it is not the default driver expected by the update. I am trying to find someone in London who for a fee of say £100 will undertake to recompile the driver, and also to install the utility called DKMS, which is apparently able to monitor and control these conflicts. Anyone in London who wants to earn a relatively quick £100 is invited to contact me via this thread or by email: rowan.berke...@gmail.com mailto:rowan.berke...@gmail.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Open Terminal Command on Secondary Monitor
Does anyone know of any tool that allows for a command (I want to use xfce4-terminal with some options) to be opened on a secondary monitor from a terminal on the first?

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Sound unlistenably quiet on Macbook 3, 1 with Intrepid
Cheers for that -- yeah, it's both quiet *and* tinny. I guess maybe I need to hunt around some settings, but all the ones I've checked so far are at 100%. Incidentally, for the bug report, what happens with that? I'm a bit of a noob -- do I register an interest in it get informed when there are fixes or updates or whatever? thanks for your response, Doug. 2009/2/22 Chris Weaver ch...@resonancefm.com Quiet or tinny? There is a bug that does't regonise the To quote from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook3-1/Intrepid The sound card should be automatically detected, and you will get sound in the internal speaker. However, the driver doesn't know about the MacBooks third speaker that handle the mid range, and the sound will sound very tinny. The sound in the headphone socket will sound fine.

Chris Weaver 2009/2/21 doug livesey biot...@gmail.com Hi -- I'm running Ubuntu on my Macbook (3,1), and the sound is incredibly quiet.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Open Terminal Command on Secondary Monitor
Thanks, I'll take a look at Place Windows. I don't usually have Compiz running, but have it installed, so I can run it if necessary. It would be good if the command did always run on the second monitor, as I'll probably set it to run as a startup script.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Open Terminal Command on Secondary Monitor
On Sun, 22 Feb 2009, Harry Rickards wrote: command to be opened on a secondary monitor from a terminal X applications (all of them) historically supported the -display and -geometry options on the command line: xterm -geometry 80x25+1024+0 Which if you secondary monitor is 1024 pixels to the right should place it on that monitor. A '-' instead of the '+' causes right-alignment instead. Originally you used to have to run a separate X server for each monitor, and that is what '-display :1' is for (you might also come across it for X forwarding, or ssh and other special cases), but now there is Xinerama. Sadly, I tested -geometry with gnome-terminal and it doesn't understand the traditionally-understood options. These is probably some way to put this options in a Window Manager configuration file too; but my memory blurs back to fvwm2 and that's maybe not relevant any more...

[ubuntu-uk] Setting JDK 6 as default Java alternative on Ubuntu
Hi -- as part of trying to get OpenLaszlo to work on my Ubuntu machine, I need to set it up so that the default version of Java it is running is a JDK (preferably 6). I've found tuts that tell me how to select from the java alternatives on my machine, but I've no idea how to add the JDKs I've installed through Synaptic to this list of alternatives. I'll also need the JDK to install the latest version of Freemind other Java apps from source. Can anyone advise me on how this is done?
