not sure if there is an equivalent project for j2me or other that would run
on that phone.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Blue tooth

[A J Binnie]

My Sony Ericsson K800i has a remote control facility and it works with
Karmic for controlling audio and moving the mouse about the screen. I've had
a quick squint at the user guide for the Nokia 6301 and it does seem to have
a remote control facility. Try pairing it up with your computer and see what
happens - mine phone automatically asks me if I want to use it as a remote.

On a slightly similar topic, I've been unable to sync my contacts between my
laptop and the same phone. I can send files from the phone to the laptop.
I've been trying to use Multisync. Any ideas, folks?

Um. How would a phone work as a mouse? What do you have in mind? Do
you want to use the up/down/left/right buttons on the phone to move
the PC's mouse pointer? If so, no, I don't think so.

I have heard of a project to make a phone's camera work as an optical
mouse, so you put your phone on the desk & slid it around. It's
clumsy, inaccurate, kills your phone battery & scratches & dirties up
the back of the phone and its camera's lens, though. Can't see why
anyone would want to do it, myself.

Sounds to me like an appearance/gnome-settings-daemon thing. There are
a number of things to try.

1) Restart
2) Change your window control theme
3) Change your colour scheme
4) Delete or move ~/.openoffice.org/ and start with a plain profile.

[ubuntu-uk] Open Office 3.2 problem on 9.10

[Gordon Burgess-Parker]

I installed 3.2 0n 9.10 using the instructions on this web site:
http://techie-buzz.com/foss/how-to-install-openoffice-3-2-in-ubuntu-9-10.html

The install went OK apart from a mysterious message about the registry 
(I didn't know Linux HAD a "registry!) and all seems to be working OK 
apart from the fact that the File-Edit-View etc bar is black in all 
modules and the options can't be seen until they are clicked on.
Anyone come across this, and is there a way of fixing it?

I'm interested in getting involved in the install party. Our group is
just starting up a community cloud project and I'm happy to talk about
some Ubuntu/LTSP pilots we're currently running with NGOs.

If the venue is small, I think it might work to do two separate events -
one oriented towards business/NGOs and the other a more informal 'do'
for people in general who might like to experiment with Ubuntu.

Either date is fine for me, but I think it's best not to clash with
other events that people will want to go to?

I dunno about £25 - I think it might discourage quite a few people.
Surely there must be some sponsorship to be got?  Anyone got any ideas
about who to approach? I'll give it some thought . . .

 I'm working with cloud stuff at the moment, some of them involving
 Ubuntu so I'm happy to help on that topic. Between us, we should be able
 to come up with something that makes sense. If we want to demo it, we
 will need a couple of servers though.

Hi John,

There is a Plasma in one room and a projector in the other.
Last time I hosted the bugjam we had good attendance on Saturday and
Sunday...

Cheers.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] London Ubuntu install party?

[James Thomas]

If we want to do a week day event aimed more towards, but not exclusively
towards businesses then I can probably get a good sized venue at no cost
(with some arm twisting).
But the prerequisite will be that refreshments be purchased on premises...

Obviously, if I can say that we would be expecting 'X' attendees, the larger
the 'X' the easier the arm twisting...

Re: [ubuntu-uk] London Ubuntu install party?

[John Stevenson]

Hello James,
Thanks for getting back to me on the size of your venue.  I feel it is still
a good option and would just put a limit on how many people can come.

I like the idea of using different weekends, perhaps two consecutive
Saturdays.  People would need to be very intererested to turn up on a Sunday
I think.

Do you have projectors in both rooms?

I should have some more information about my options this week, so will keep
you posted.

Thank you

Re: [ubuntu-uk] London Ubuntu install party?

[pa...@fossbox.org.uk]

I'm interested in getting involved in the install party. Our group is
just starting up a community cloud project and I'm happy to talk about
some Ubuntu/LTSP pilots we're currently running with NGOs.

If the venue is small, I think it might work to do two separate events -
one oriented towards business/NGOs and the other a more informal 'do'
for people in general who might like to experiment with Ubuntu.

Either date is fine for me, but I think it's best not to clash with
other events that people will want to go to?

I dunno about £25 - I think it might discourage quite a few people.
Surely there must be some sponsorship to be got?  Anyone got any ideas
about who to approach? I'll give it some thought . . .

Re: [ubuntu-uk] London Ubuntu install party?

[James Thomas]

Hi there,

Unfortunately the venue will only accommodate 20 people comfortably across
two meeting rooms.
12 in one and 8 in the other. More people can be seated, but desk space is
at a premium.

I would be happy to run events over the weekend. Special dispensation would
have to be garnered for a weekday as the rooms are in constant use.

Now we could run the same material Saturday/Sunday so that more people can
take part or hold a two day event over different weekends. Also I am quite
happy to make it a regular thing. Once/Twice a month type thing but would
need to see how it grows.
If it gets too large, I may be able to source another venue for free but
they would expect some money to go across the bar...

Alan Lord, I may be able to get this venue during the day, Friday, if you
want to do a Business Focused event.

Let me know your thoughts.

Cheers

James Thomas
