[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu 9.10 Release Party - 30th October
This is the 'official' announcement. Please pass it on! It's back! Manchester will be celebrating the release of Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala with a release party. The event will be at the Pitcher & Piano on Deansgate Locks from 6pm until late on Friday 30th October. That's the day after the official release. The party is free to attend and no sign up is necessary. There will be free wifi and expect people to have ISOs of Ubuntu 9.10 (and Kubuntu, etc) available. The Pitcher & Piano is a public house, so unfortunately under 18s will not be admitted after 7pm and anyone fortunate enough to look under 25 should bring ID. The Ubuntu 9.04 release party attracted over 60 people. Lets make this one even better! -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] VIdeo recommendations
Afternoon All, I have a hitachi HDD video camera that can record in 4:3 or 16:9 ratios. I can attach the camera to my PC via USB and browse the files, they are .VRO file. I can copy these files to /home and they are essentially mpeg files, which is fine. When I record in 4:3 format, they come across fine, but there is a problem with 16:9 ones. The thumbnails in Nautilus are correct (i.e. widescreen) but all media players (and file properties) show the files as 4:3 ratio, which makes them look odd when being played. Any ideas on how a) I can transfer them across correctly (there is come windows-only software that comes with it - I can't get it to work in wine) and/or b) some way to convert them so they play in the correct ratio? I've tried ffmpeg with the -aspect flag set to 16:9, but it didn't make any difference.

Also the upgrader doesn't give you any option other than to upgrade to Jaunty. Seeing as it worked on two other computers, I can't see why it didn't on this one.

[ubuntu-uk] Changing account names in Empathy (Karmic)
Hi There, Tootling along nicely with the Karmic beta at the moment. I did a completely fresh install to get the full experience, and am trying my hardest to get used to using empathy instead of pidgin. Couple of things that I can't seem to work out: 1) How do I change the name of accounts (they show at the moment as New Jabber Account, or New Google Talk Account and it's winding me up!) 2) How do I bring up my buddy list? Pidgin has a notification icon I could click to bring it up, but empathy does not.
