[ubuntu-uk] Removing Evolution
Hi All, I removed evolution a while ago using the software center, but I noticed today doing an upgrade that its still updating evolution-data-server-common what is this package and what is it used for? Synaptic describes it like this / The data server, called Evolution Data Server is responsible for managing calendar and addressbook information. This package contains the architecture independent files needed by the evolution-data-server package. /Can this be removed? If so why didnt the software center remove it? Thanks -Mark -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

For now I have just left it installed. -- John Stevenson Lean Agile Consultant / Coach jr0cket.com | leanagilemachine.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

It does what it says on the tin - provides address book and calendar services to the Gnome desktop, which are accessed through Evolution but are independent of it. It wouldn't be removed by Software Center as that is mostly used for desktop applications. Someone might be able to give a better view of where it sits in the Gnome architecture but I would be very careful about choosing to remove it as it's one of those things that has a lot of potential dependencies. s/ -- Save BBC 6 Music http://www.love6music.com My CV: http://bit.ly/sfgreenwood_cv Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/simonfgreenwood Twitter: @sfgreenwood -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

If so why didnt the software center remove it? You could try and remove it but other things (panel applets for example) depend on it, so they might be removed too. That's why Software Centre didn't remove it. Personally I'd leave it in. Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Speech Recognition
I had a look at that but it looked very complicated, and I don't think it has a frontend for recognition/training. If it had that, it might work well enough for end-users. :) Teej On Thu, 2010-07-01 at 06:55 +0100, Alan Bell wrote: this project seems quite active http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/ and has packages for Ubuntu 10.04 in a ppa I have not tried it yet, but it would be interesting to see how well it works for people.

[ubuntu-uk] Parital Dist-upgrade?
Hi all, Myself and a number of colleagues have performed a partial dist upgrade this morning, having been prompted to do so in Lucid. Unfortunately this appears to have broken quite a few things including some of the packages that we use (remmina is the key one and is business critical for us) Has anyone else had issues?

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Parital Dist-upgrade?
I recently uninstalled PulseAudio to get Skype working properly and the latest updates are trying to reinstall PulseAudio and some other bits, luckily I managed to notice PA in the list of updates and only install the recommended updates, not the partial distribution upgrade. *phew!* On 01/07/10 10:30, Matthew Macdonald-Wallace wrote: Hi all, Myself and a number of colleagues have performed a partial dist upgrade this morning, having been prompted to do so in Lucid.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu guest in Virtual Box lost networking
UPDATE: I was very busy and did not get round to viewing your online info, I will try to read it some time (thanks for posting). But, when I went into VirtualBox and ran the Ubuntu 10.04 virtual machine again, it worked with the normal wired ethernet connection and its 2 arrows logo showing again. When it was not working, it was showing what I presume to be the wifi logo, even though I have no wifi hardware on this PC. David Tyler J.
