Hi,

I run a Huawei E160 on t-mobile fine with Ubuntu 8.04 and up using
wader. Can't say about Network-Manager as I run WICD.

The ones Aria have are NB100-12R, I presume they're the Windows versions 
and being sold off due to the NB200 coming out.

No the NB100-11R models which were the Ubuntu ones are now discontinued, the 
NB200 series are Windows only and I don't think Ubuntu will run on them yet.

Yes, it does - I've had it running on a Tosh NB100 running 9.10a6 though - 
I've also had success with O2's stick too after changing the connection 
details.

Doesn't look like there's many of the original NB100s around as I've had to 
buy a reconditioned one from Comet as my local store had one left on display 
sans battery.

This won't sit in the top but will keep a track of usage and enables SMS

Not the right question. It's the dongle, not the network that usually 
causes the problems. I have an Option 225 3G Dongle which I got with an 
Orange UK contract, this works fine in Jaunty and usually in Karmic.

I use Amarok for my ipod, though admittedly have not tried podcasts or
video with it, though I believe it is supposed to work.
The iphone however i believe does not work with linux at all - so you
will need itunes for that.

What version are you trying to install?

Itunes v 8.0 is the most likely one to install and work well in wine. I
definitely had it working in the past on Ibex, not tried on jaunty, but
can't see why it wouldn't still work.

WRT Magnatune I highly recommend the download membership for $10 a
month. Not only do you get to stream in high-quality mp3 or ogg with
no adverts (or preview notices) but you can download however many
albums you want in whatever format you want (inc. FLAC, WAV) (though
obviously if you buy an album you can do this too).

Jamendo is also worth a look.

[ubuntu-uk] Fwd: New LoCo Council Members sought..

2009-09-23 Thread Alan Pope
FYI: Please read.


-- Forwarded message --
From: Alan Pope 
Date: 2009/9/23
Subject: New LoCo Council Members sought..
To: "Ubuntu local community team (LoCo) contacts"



Hi LoCo teams!

A little while ago Nick Ali stepped down from the LoCo Council. We
were of course very sad to see this happen, and would like to thank
Nick for his great work on the Council. However, we are now down one
person, and need to find a new member. I'm writing this mail to ask
for volunteers to step forward and nominate themselves or another
willing person for this position. There is only one position
available, so if more than one person steps forward, there will be a
vote to decide on the successful candidate.

The LoCo Council is defined on the wiki [0]. We meet up once a month
over IRC to go through items on the team agenda [1]. This typically
involves approving new LoCo teams, resolving issues within teams,
approving LoCo team mailing list requests, and anything else that
comes along.

The process by which a new member of the Council is selected is
defined by the Community Council is outlined on the wiki [2].

The first stage is for people to nominate themselves, or be nominated
by someone else. We will confirm with each person whether they
actually want to be put forward or not. We will give ~2 weeks for this
process. Please pass this mail back to your own LoCo team so everyone
is aware of the process. We welcome nominations from anywhere in the
world, and from any LoCo team. Nominees do not need to be a LoCo Team
Leader to be nominated for this post. We are however looking for
people who are active in their LoCo Team.

** Please send nominations to loco-coun...@lists.ubuntu.com which is a
private mailing list only for the LoCo Council members. **

The above mailin list is moderated, however all nomination mails will
be approved before the end of the nomination period

If you'd like to ask any of the LoCo Council members questions
privately then you contact us individually [3] or use the above
mailing list address.

** The nomination process starts now, and ends at 00:01 UTC on 7th
October 2009. **

Once this period is over the LoCo Council will collate the nominations
and double check that each person nominated is still happy to stand.
We will then pass this list to the CC as per the process outlined at
[2].

Many thanks,
Ubuntu LoCo Council.

Magnatunes has some great music on for unknown bands.  The only issue
there is they don't accept debit card and it takes a while to find a
group with music that you like, however when you do the music is amasing
I thoroughly recommend this :)  8 dollars for an entire digital album

It's not just about music downloads though is it. I use iTunes on a
Mac with two iPods and there's other stuff that iTunes sadly does over
and above music downloads.

* Podcast management is better than any other combined download and
syncing tool on Ubuntu (IMO)
* Firmware updates to the player can only be done via iTunes (as far
as I can tell).
* Syncing everything to the right categories so the menus make sense
on the player.

Don't get me wrong, I hate iTunes, but sadly it works.

Cheers,
Al.

Not really an answer but I went through this recently and I've ditched 
iTunes completely, even on Windows. There are so many other legal music 
download sites now that do not have the restrictions and DRM of iTunes 
and some are considerably cheaper.
My son-in-law told me of a site www.legalsounds.com where an MP3

Yep - I went through the same discovery a few months ago.

Songbird is about as close as you can get todate and is getting better 
rapidly, but it is not quite there yet. I reckon a few more months and 
it will be *very* close...

For now though, bite the bullet and either dual-boot or run a Virtual

[ubuntu-uk] Installing itunes on Wine.

2009-09-23 Thread Rik Boland
