Hi Matthew, I live and work in London and am part of Bug Squad. I can usually free an hour during the day quite easily and I'd be happy to take part in some user testing.

[ubuntu-uk] Meeting Minutes from last Wednesday and details of the next one
Hi all, The minutes from the meeting held on 03/03/2010 are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/MeetingNotes/20100303 and you can always find the minutes of the most recent meeting at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/LastMeeting. On the 17th of April we have the visit to the Science Museum in London, if you can make it please edit the page here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ScienceMuseumVisit and add your name and number of guests (not that anyone will do anything with the information, but it would be nice to know who is expected along.) The next meeting will be on 7th April at 8pm in the #ubuntu-uk-meeting IRC channel on Freenode. If you haven't used IRC before please have a go at joining the main channel #ubuntu-uk and say hi to everyone. Information on IRC is available at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat or feel free to email the list and ask for help. One of the proposals from the last meeting was to fix the meeting date to a regular first Wednesday of each month at 8PM. If you think this is a great idea, or the most inconvenient time in the world please make your feelings felt now by email to the list. We will discuss the pros and cons and vote on whether or not to go ahead with regular meetings at the next meeting. As the next meeting is being held on the first Wednesday of the month at 8PM this would make it a bit unfair on anyone objecting to that time, thus if you want to vote by proxy (for or against) then please email me off list, I will be chair of the next meeting and will cast the proxy votes.

I was going to comment on that: Wednesday is the worst day of the week for me and I'd really like to get more involved. So if there could be the occasional Tuesday or Thursday, that would be great.

[ubuntu-uk] Rdesktop working when Tsclient does not
This is a little odd. I have a Windows 2008 Server (r1, 32-bit, SP2) box sitting here, right next to on the same subnet as my Ubuntu 9.10 (64-bit) desktop PC. Both are patched fully up-to-date. I would like to use the Ubuntu machine to access the remote desktop on the Windows server. I normally use the Terminal Services client to do this, but it will not connect. It will from my XP laptop, it will from my Macs, but not from Ubuntu. Googling for info on this problem, eventually I found this: http://gerardmcgarry.com/blog/how-remotely-connect-ubuntu-a-windows-machine ... which told me about the rdesktop command. I tried it to my surprise it worked instantly. The snag is, I'd prefer the resizable window and so on of tsclient to rdesktop. Any ideas why tsclient won't connect when rdesktop will? It's not a firewall issue - neither machine has one on. It's not a routing issue - there is no routing, they're on the same hub. Not switch, hub. Direct circuit. Does not matter if I pick RDP or RDPv5 in tsclient - it eventually times out (very slowly - after about 2min) . It's not a user account issue. There are only 2 accounts on the server both work. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: lpro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AOL/AIM/iChat/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • LiveJournal/Twitter: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • ICQ: 73187508 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
