[ubuntu-uk] copying data from one PC to another PC
This is probably elementary but it is the first time I have ever needed to do this. A new machine has been set up with Evolution and I want to transfer those files containing the data to do with my emails such as old mail received and sent. Also, I would like to transfer the bookmarks and, I suppose, cookies for Firefox. Which files would I need to copy and what is the simplest way to do this, please. Thanks in advance.

[ubuntu-uk] Multiple soundcards
Morning all, Bit of an odd probably daft question... I use a program called mixxx as a DJ tool. The thing is I currently use USB headphones to listen to the music but would really like to use the same pair of headphones to monitor the 'other' track. Is it possible to trick Ubuntu into thinking it has two sound cards so I can use one for the main channel and one for the monitor channel but both would really be output on my USB headphones? Just trying to establish if it's physically possible before I head off to get an external 5.1 sound card and new headphones which I'm told will do the job - I'd rather not spend a fortune if there's an another solution. Thanks Dave -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Secure Boot doesn't prevent the installation of additional software. Everything it does happens before the operating system starts up. s/ -- Twitter: @sfgreenwood TBA are particularly glib Yes, UEFI ensures that only the 'correct' OS starts, but after that, as I understand it, the OS takes over responsibility for allowing only trusted software to be installed and run. I gather that Win8 will default to only allow apps from the Windows store, although this can be changed if you dig deep enough into the settings, but this will still only allow trusted digitally signed software. Plenty of opportunity to influence matters. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] copying data from one PC to another PC
Hello, I am quite interested on this question too... In a couple of weeks I am about to upgrade a 10.04 LTSP Server to an 12.04 LTSP... and I am going to backup home... Evolution Mail and all it's settings need to be transfer back for each user (Old Mail, Folders etc) and how do I go for creating the users again to replicate the old system. Thanks!

Re: [ubuntu-uk] from 10.04 to 12.04 (was HUD vs gnome do)
I hope to show off new OS some time this weekend in a cafe. I'm sure all will go well! I just have to manage not to drop coffee. I managed to impress but it was much too slow. Is it possible that 12.04 is a lot more resource hungry than 10.04? Highlights she had from 10.04 was wobbly windows and the 4 desktops. And tiding up windows with super+S. (It suprised me!). In 12.04 She liked the dash to find music files, and also liked it for running apps. The hud was slow to come up but thought it was intersting. Setting up ubuntu one was confusing for me and her, the window seemed to be loading/syncing but we hit next and seemed to be done. She accidently set to write documents on side by side arangement while on spread mode and I was unable to maximize minimize nor close because the top bar dissapeared. She will consider get more ram but it might be difficult to find because it is something older than ddr I think (dpci?). I said that if it was too slow there where still alternatives (xfce I was thinking). Over all I spent over two hours with her. But I think she really did not need any of it given that for 10.04 we did not even speak and it worked fine for her. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
