Prestashop is not bad from what I hear and according to the website is Free Software: http://www.prestashop.com/en/osl-license . And yes, Magento is Open Core, like Sugar CRM. The basic stuff is Free Software but many of the interesting features are not; which renders the entire solution proprietary in my opinion... I'm mainly aware of it because of extensions that integrate it into OpenERP...

It was already up and running when I started in my current position. I find the admin interface and front-end somewhat clunky, but the back-end is fairly tidy and easy to hack.

[ubuntu-uk] No new mail notifications from Thunderbird in 13.04
Hi, I'm not seeing the two useful notifications that I usually had in 12.10 and 12.04. I'm not talking about the optional balloon notification, I'm talking about: (a) the horizontal bar that should appear across the Thunderbird launcher icon, with the number of new emails in it, similar to the one that appears across the Software Updater launcher icon when new updates are ready for installation; (b) the envelope icon in the Menu Bar should turn blue when new mail arrives. I expect these widgets are still there in Thunderbird, but the links to the desktop manager are broken in the 13.04 Desktop Manager. Otherwise 13.04 seems almost identical in behaviour to 13.10. The Files launcher and the Software Updater icon have a new appearance, but everything else is basically unchanged. These assessments apply to all three machines I've upgraded to 13.04 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] No new mail notifications from Thunderbird in 13.04
Yup, I have that installed by default, as you say. I was wrong about the envelope icon in the Menu Bar not turning blue: I just saw it do so. I have an impression it reverts to white after a short interval, even if the email is not read. But anyway, it's only the horizontal bar across the launcher icon which isn't working. And that is certainly the more noticeable of the two. I've sometimes seen this happen after upgrades before, because the link involved is obviously hard to integrate, involving two completely different packages contributed by different teams, Thunderbird and the Unity Desktop people.

[ubuntu-uk] 12.10 without updates works
Hi. Regret if this is a little vague (I have ME). I would be grateful for some (idiot guide level) advice but am prepared to put in some real effort! Background see question 225170 also I started on Ubuntu 11.04 added all updates and upgraded to 11.10 ditto to 12.04 ditto to 12.10 which I found rather slow so reverted to 12.04. About 19th March I received updates which I noticed included a kernel update (although this may be a red herring) - result random system fail messages, references to precise and diagonal coloured bars on screen all resulting in total lockup apart from the mouse. I could not see any way to get any sensible bug type evidence so raised the question. Having become complacent and not having done an immediately preceding backup I panicked and may have altered some basic settuings So to try a clean start I obtained the 12.04 and 12.10 discs. I have trialled various combinations and have found the only successful system is to erase the HD and reinstall 12.10 with no updates. I have not lost any vital data and am relaxed with the 12.10 at present, but am concerned that I am repidly getting out of date. I would also like to try to make some real contribution to the 'community'. Any advice re finding the cause, reporting a real bug, etc would be gratefully received. Be blunt I can stand it!

As we are now on 13.04 with a couple of updates, and as 13.04 seems slightly slicker and more stable already than was 12.10, I'm surprised you have not yet tried the current distro!

Others may disagree, but personally, I work on two hard-drives, one with the current distro and one with the next (testing) version. During the next few days, I will install 13.10 Saucy Salamander from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and start using it as dual boot with Raring Ringtail as the second option.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] 12.10 without updates works
Thanks for reply Barry, as soon as it was available I made three different attempts to get the 13.04 ISO on to my pendrive and have failed so far - regret I did not document these. It was an option I was keen to persue, but time is a challenge at present so I will recheck methods and try again. Any tips? The dual HD is also an option for the future as I have a dud m/c which I can raid.

[ubuntu-uk] USB Scanner Issue
Hi I'm running 12.04 and use an HP 3070 printer/scanner connected by USB. If I boot with the device already connected and powered up, my scanner software always detects the device but returns an I/O error when I try to perform a document scan. If I boot with the device powered up but NOT connected, then subsequently plug in the USB cable, everything works fine. If I get the I/O error, unplugging the USB cable then plugging it back in does not solve the problem. I have to logout + logon. I've used Simple Scan, HPLIP and gscan2pdf - it makes no difference. The printer function works correctly under all connection scenarios. Something about introducing a new USB device with Ubuntu already running seems to make all the difference. It's hardly a showstopper but it's still annoying. Any ideas? Thanks Nige -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
