Re: [ubuntu-uk] External USB with LUKS file system not recognized

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Sorry, I meant to say that I have not submitted the question to ASK ubuntu.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/813722/lvm2-pv-is-not-recognizable-file-system-how-can-i-recover-the-data

Hopefully the format of it is correct, I think I followed the guidance 
correctly.

# What I expected:

I have this USB drive with an encrypted partition. I have been using 
it flawlessly for more than a year. With my Ubuntu computer I believe 
at some point gnome-keyring saved the password and unlocks it 
automatically. So we where able to view the files with no problem (two 
separate users). I was able to do the same with a separate computer 
with an ubuntu derivative. It was "a done once forgot how I did it" 
scenario following these instructions: [1]


I am on ubuntu 14.01

# The problem:

The other day I tried the same but it does not recognize the drive. 
$dmesg give me the following:

# What I tried

Looking up a solution found this bug report [2] that seems to have 
been fixed? Several versions ago.


The mention using the blkid command but I am not sure what it does and 
it requires root.  Man page says the command will tell me the file 
system but I am guessing gnome-diskutility does that for me?


Any more pointers would be great as I really want to get to the files.

Saw them on ebay for less that £20. Normally battery dies but you can buy an 
6-8hr one for £20 to £40 on amazon.

Only the BIOS is non free
https://h-node.org/ is good for. Checking if it depends only on proprietary

Thanks, a quick glance seems to be focused on ubuntu derivatives. Sugar On 
Toast seems to be it, but the other one I was trying is a fedora derivative.

I will keep it in mind for an easy migration from xp.

[ubuntu-uk] LiveUSB creation

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Dear all,
I have been trying to create a liveUSB for the sugarLabs distro (rpm distro) 
and trisquel-mini (lubuntu derivative). 

The process done via unetbutin and usbcreator without any error poping up. Two 
different usb where tried (4gb unkown make and 32gb kingston).

I have put it in 2 laptops (same model acer aspire one) that have been able to 
boot from usb before and I have at least been able to liveUSB with trisquel in 
the past. But does not boot now.

I am running ubuntu 14.10.

The message I get is:

Failed to Load com32 file menu.c32
Boot: 

In the case of unetbootin I found this:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2257815&p=13192459

tl;dr
It seems the boot: is actually some sort of prompt.

Type "unetbootindefault "

This seems to work for my trisquel-mini install. It seems trisquel supports 
sugarlabs so that is me problably covered.

But just in case someone runs into similar problem.

[ubuntu-uk] Youtube web-app freezes computer

[Andrés]

Hi all,
I run the youtube web app, I maximize it, and suddenly I can move the mouse and 
that is about it. Nothing is 'clickable' no rightclick menu, no alt+f4 or f2, 
dash does not show with super key and  taping power button once normally 
prompts shutdown menu but not now. I also left it to 'think' for more than 
30min just in case it did something. 

This happens with gnome3 admin and with unity user.

I solved it by uninstalling the app at the moment as all the help I could find 
in the web seem to relate to video freezing.

My question is as follows: the only thing I could do is cold reboot (desktop 
restart button or holding diwn the power button fo 3 seconds) is there anything 
else I could try? This would help to debug next time I have time to do so.

[ubuntu-uk] Adobe digital editions

[Andrés]

Hi all,

After reading this (0) I gave installing adobe digital editions a try with 
wine. This would enable reading ebooks purchased in waterstones with the likes 
of sony e-reader.

The adobe installer claims it needs .net (3.5 i believe) but as I try to 
install it the instalation fails.

A) has anybody managed to install it? If so, any pointers would be great.
B) is there another way around it? Calibre will not help because of DRM.

My view would be not to buy DRM e-books and have recommended that but the 
person I am doing support for still wants it anyway. And it would mean not 
needing the win xp instalation.

Hi all,

Which cross platform project management software would you recomend or
do you use? My investigations led me to ganttproject [1] as the best
option because of it's compatibility with microsoft project.

It needs to be able to sync with other project management software
users. 

Also Libreproject [2] seems to be a new kid in the block. Does anybody
use it? 

Something that is free software would be best, selling point being no

I was using U1 at the begining to sync my todolist (tomboy notes) across all my 
devices, even n900!  But they stopped supporting that. now i was just using it 
to share files publicly. Plus, dropbox was blocked at work for security 
reasons. 

owncloud seems like the best option or one of those unhosted or torrent 
options. Wasn't  own cloud a kde project? 

What is ubuntu going to use to sync phone and desktop? I feel it needs 
something by default to sync devices. to keep with the uniformity mentioned on 
the blog post.

Last time I had a problem with colour I changed from the recomended nvidia 
drivers to the noveau drivers. But this was related to video playback giving a

[ubuntu-uk] Fwd: Gluglug X60 Laptop now certified to Respect Your Freedom

christmas.

Asunto: Gluglug X60 Laptop now certified to Respect Your Freedom

"Finally there is a free software laptop that respects your freedom as
it comes from the store,"  Richard M. Stallman.

We don't usually send press release messages to this list, but this is
a big announcement!

If you want to see even more hardware certified in 2014, please help
us reach our $450k winter fundraising goal with a $20 donation at
<https://u.fsf.org/ryf2013>.

## Gluglug X60 Laptop now certified to Respect Your Freedom 

BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA -- Thursday, December 19, 2013 -- The Free
Software Foundation (FSF) today awarded Respects Your Freedom (RYF)
certification to Gluglug X60 laptops. The RYF certification mark means
that the product meets the FSF's standards in regard to users'
freedom, control over the product, and privacy. This is the first
laptop to receive RYF certification from the FSF.

It can be purchased from <http://shop.gluglug.org.uk>.

The FSF has had a call out for a laptop sold with a free OS and [free
boot system][1] since 2005. Today it announced that the call has been
met.

"Finally there is a free software laptop that respects your freedom as
it comes from the store," stated Richard M. Stallman, founder and
president of the FSF.

The boot programs (such as a BIOS) run when a computer is turned on
and their primary purpose is to initialize the hardware before loading
the operating system. Computer makers not only install nonfree boot
programs, but they also have made it notoriously difficult for free
software developers to have access to the necessary hardware
specifications and information needed to produce free software
replacements.

When a user purchases a product that bears the Respects Your Freedom
certification mark, they can be confident they are recieving a product
that comes with a free boot program and OS, as well as documentation
under free licenses, multimedia unencumbered by proprietary formats,
and the assurance it is not known to contain any backdoors and is not
designed to share users' information without their knowledge (e.g.
spyware).

"This announcement comes at a time when people have a heightened
concern over controlling their data and securing their communication.
Proprietary software is by nature fundamentally insecure, because it
uses both force of law and technological measures to prohibit a user
from controlling and securing her own computer. This new complete
system runs on free software and is backed by the FSF's commitment to
do our best at ensuring respect for your freedom and privacy," said
FSF executive director John Sullivan.

The Gluglug X60 laptops are refurbished models of Lenovo's
ThinkPad®* X60. Gluglug has updated the computer by adding
a modern wifi chipset, replacing the proprietary BIOS with a free
software boot system made by modifying Coreboot to remove all
proprietary microcode and proprietary blobs, and replacing the
proprietary Microsoft Windows OS with the FSF-endorsed, [Trisquel
GNU/Linux][2] OS.

"The Gluglug X60 laptop is a major victory for computer users and
supporters of the *Free BIOS* campaign. Not only has Gluglug produced
a 100% free version of Coreboot that carries freedom to each user, but
it has made it easy and fun to install updates, which in my
experience, make real and noticeable improvements to the operation of
the laptop. I also found that despite the hardware being a few years
old, the Gluglug X60 remains a durable machine that is more than
capable of running modern GNU/Linux distro," added Joshua Gay, the
licensing & compliance manager who heads-up the FSF's RYF
certification program.

Francis Rowe of Gluglug issued the following statement:

[ubuntu-uk] proxy settings with log in for package manager?

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

I am using kubuntu 12.04 but it should be a cross platform problem I think.

The problem I had was that the proxy was not letting me get online.
I changed the proxy settings via the network settings GUI and it was
all fine for rekonq web browser but muon (the package manager) did not
update .

Of course it did not tell me it was the proxy setting (I do not think
it could tell me) it just told me that I could not reach such and such
web pages.

I finally came up the solution: looking up in askubuntu [1] it seems I
need my username and password on a plain text file the

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/

Is this solution the best? is there a more elegant solution?
Also, it keeps asking me for my username and password to use the web
browser but does not do this for package manager. I much rather have
it ask me for username and password on both aplications. Rather than
having my username and password written in plain text.

Or is this the normal way things work and I should not be too fussed about it?

Also, when using apt-get it finds the packages fine now but it is
telling me that some of the files are not authentificated and that I
should not trust them. It is a fresh install and I have not set any
PPA. I was only installing gimp and gwyddion which normally do not
give me any problems.


Thanks for any pointers!

able to delete from there.

Hello,
Thanks for this conversation. I finally think I understood mail encryption
thanks to Cory Doctrows's ”little brother”

How about as a starting point we all sign are emails with the public key?
That will get people curious.
K-9 email client for android seems to have some support for it.

I seem to recall before the Snowden stuff someone in this mailing list did
this and made me think about it a bit.

I got in contact with the councillor that manages the libraries and asked
him who manages the IT for libraries and his answer is "good question, i
will find out".

Any other idea on how to find out? I asked at the local library and twitter
account for all libraries and their info was out of date.

Hi James,
Sounds like good news. Any clues on what is happening with libraries?
Check out @PeterBazalgette's Tweet:
https://twitter.com/PeterBazalgette/status/344422386008997889
He seems up for the change and there seems to be a void.
My local library is getting an 'uplift' and it would be great if it was not
completely windows.

Fair enough. But it is the common denominator accross the different offices.
all they need is for their normal software package to be used in gnu/linux:
and there is always an alternative or wine.

I seem to have a more positive view:

I did email my mp via the http://www.writetothem.com/ website. He is
enviormentally driven so I focused on the amount of computers that go to
skips. He forward my concerns to treasury.
Also contacted the head of arts and culture to see if gnu/linux could be
used in libraries. Via twitter. He said they are keeping an eye on it.

Bottom line if you feel strongly about it, tell your MP.
http://www.writetothem.com/

About training: At the end all most of what people use is a web browser.
http://www.xkcd.com/934/

If there is interest the economics of it changes: more support companies
will show their heads demonstrating with bigger and bigger companies making
tbe switch. E.g.
Munich claims it saved 10 million euros on the switch.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiMux
HP tried to say there was no savings or that there were loses but last I
knew they could not hold their claim.

Goverment has bigger contacts with huge service companies and those can
still be broken.

[ubuntu-uk] Virgin broadband from 20 to 60 megas

[Muñiz Piniella , Andrés]

Hello all,
The heaviest use of internet I do is for some video streaming at home. At
the moment youtube on mobile and tablet and lovefilm on the wii (still no
joy with ubuntu). Also video chat.

They take less then a minute to load and only ocasionally do they break
midway (normally removing hd mode makes things better).

Do you think I would notice a significant improvement from going from 20
megs to 60 megs?

Bonus question: the upgrade will come with virgins wireless router that
will be replacing my 7 year old router from netgear. Would that show a
significant improvement as well? Most of my gadgets are wireless.

I do not think bottom posting is old school. I think it makes sense. Sadly
I only heard about it here. Tried to configure outlook to do this at work

Maybe put something on the signature of the mailing list with a link to

[ubuntu-uk] Google Code sharing

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hi a policy question,

I just read this (1). It seems that some countries can not use the code from 
google code if it is encrypted software? If someone puts some GPL code, will 
this not be against it? Do others like launchpad, github have similar 
restrictions?

This prism business is really getting to me.

For those of you that feel that change is not happening please read this
twitter conversation:
https://mobile.twitter.com/PeterBazalgette/status/344422386008997889

When I am near a computer I would like to see the 'envisioning...'document
he refers to.

Peter is now the chair of the England arts council, the people in charge of
the people's network who manage, at least, the public facing end of
computers in libraries. I also contacted my local council and made a case
for using gnu/linux distros. A) I do not know about your local libraries
but mine are still on windowsxp. So they will have to replace it soon with
win8. And that has a steeper learning curve than any of the most common
distros. B) win8 will require new hardware. And most distros do not require
as much.

Appart from canonical who could provide the service? And why is windows
service cheaper than gnu/linux distros? I thought the reasoning was that
one gnu/linux admin was more expensive than a windows admin but a gnu/linux
admin could manage over more units, so turned out cheaper.

Frankly seems to me that there is a vacuum since 2011 and that if a company

[ubuntu-uk] Public library OS choice

[Muñiz Piniella , Andrés]

Hello all,
I was hoping some of you could help me clear this up.

My local library is one of the only libraries that is actually getting
bigger in the near future. One of the improvements is that they are going
to install some new computers. I asked if there was a chance of it being a
good chance of installing on those computers something other than windows.

The response I got was that the people's network was a government funded
initiative and that they where not given the option of installing anything
other windows.

This is richmond upon Thames council. Is it the same for you?

Anybody know about this?

I was referred to the council info email.

Thank you Barry this worked great! The problem is that with all the kde 
dependencies my root drive is now full. But that is my fault for having a small 
16Gb drive and insisting on partitioning with xps my home drive and not having 
enough space for all the stuff I randomly install.

Thanks Barry I will go through this first. Frankly I do not mind if it is

[ubuntu-uk] From spreadsheet to vcard

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hello all, I have been having this problem for some time now.

I am normally given a list of names with emails and other contact details in a 
spreadsheet format.

I then would like to import it to a csv format such that evolution or other 
mail clients can create a vcard out of.

When i do this no matter how i order or name my columns on the csv file 
evolution never finds the email. I cannot find it in any of the fields.

If i just do a column of emails it finally finds it but as the name of the 
contact not as the acual email field.

Thank you for your time!

[ubuntu-uk] advanced metering reader software (electricity)

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hello,

Do any of you know of a simple  (FLOSS) advanced metering software? I am 
particularly interested on one that can "catch" the wifi signal that is already 
being sent with my electricity consumption (kwh) to a stand alone device that 
sits at home. I would like to pick it up on my laptop.

I tried searching online and I only found that there seems to be some set of 
international standards [1], a crowd sourcing project that caught my eye [2] 
and a science paper [3].

The project [2] caught  my eye because it makes your home into a smart home. I 
was very interested by it because the central computer seemed to be gnu/linux. 
The rest of it is not open source: at the most they said that they might 
publish some API. This lost my interest because it seems to need acess to your 
home router and I felt a bit uneasy on this bit.

Andres

Just a note to say that as far as spreadsheets go the last literature I
checked (as in statistcal exactness and what not)  gnumeric was the best
one followed by excel then calc and lastly google docs. Which the authours
clearly recomended nit to be used for any serious caculation.

Makes sense since gnumeric works with R project. What I do not understand
why doesn't calc do it as well.

I can dig out references but basically look in scolarity papers for excel
an gnumeric.
While you are at it matlab and octave.

I am of the same opinion. Thanks. So the free ones, if needed, will be
installed automatically? I used to have to install the free one manually in
the past. ¿How would I know if I am missing it?

Thanks Alan!
The number partitions limit is problably what is getting in the way. But
will check the rest.

We did a bit of a check on the live cd for hardware. If the graphics card
needs an 3rd party software, I have seen in the past that it offers it in
the notification area. Is this only for nvidia?

[ubuntu-uk] if this then that

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hi all a bit of a conversation starter,

I just visited https://ifttt.com/ [1]and it seems like a concept that has 
exsisted in linux distros for some time in. Or so I think: cronjobs or autokey 
[2]. I have used autokey in the past and found it a bit difficult since I had 
to learn a bit before using it again (once in every blue moon).

My question is would it be useful to have this at an OS level? Something more 
basic and restricted than Cron but easier to use for us "drag and drop" types. 
For example, a combination of cron, unity and dash. Could one of the following 
be features.

When a photographer puts in his SD card with raw format pictures GIMP imports 
them and adds them a water mark of his design. with some added default 
adjustments and then sends it to backup. while the photographer goes to for a 
cuppa. 

Recieve an SMS or a particular alert when one person emails you or uses a 
particular subject.

Tweet when you turn on your PC so your employeer knows you are online. (You are 
a freelance). OK this one is really horrible. 

And so on. There are many tools that can each do  the tasks independantly 
really well. But not one tool to rule them.

[ubuntu-uk] updated to 12.04: fixes and questions

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

I updated fine but had the following problems. Some I have managed to fix
others where probably broken before the update.

I have a user account. the screen was slightly to the left. My normal
account was looking fine and centered. I fixed it by changing the aspect
ratio to another and back again. This was also affecting my login screen.

Smurf effect came back on youtube. Did not work with nvidia recomended
driver nor the developer driver. Good news is it did not afect youtube. I
solved this by uninstalling the both drivers.

Questions:
Why is there some youtube videos that totem cannot reproduce? I have the
third party drivers installed.

Why is the resolution on totem so bad compared to that of te web?

installed the wikipedia lens but does not seem to come up. I wrote lens and
dash on the dash and it does not find anything.

I cannot find the improvement from 11.10... maybe it's quicker?

I'm a fanboy anyway. Love the work done. Specially small details like the
transparencies changing with the desktop colour. Does not work in 2D
though.

first to say that this is the first i hear back after installing it 18
months ago. So thanks to the ubuntu 10.04 lts team.

My question is not technical as i still have to look at it.

Would you suggest sitting down with this person and go over the process of
backing up and introducing unity in preparation of 12.04. And set it up for
normal release rate?

Is it simply linking to images hosted externally?




Do not think so: because I have evolution configured to block web images
but these I can see them as part of the email.

I have now gone to google web mail and I can download all the images and I
see a preview. But hotmail (my mother inlaw uses that)  does not offer the
option to download all. In fact it does not offer the option to download at
all. I have to rightclick on each image as if it was a hosted externally.

No worries. I guess not many people have this problem so it might be
something I have missconfigured at my end. I'll try with thunderbird. if
web gmail can do it. then it must be some box i have miss ticked

[ubuntu-uk] downloading images from a mac email

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

A brother in-law sent me some pictures that are in some way embedded in the
email. With evolution i cannot seem to download them and with google web
mail I have only been able to rightclick save them one by one. They seem to
not even show as attachments.

I have tried googling for this but neither him or I know the name of what
mac does to attach the images.

Do you know of any mailclient that can offer the download all option of
these images? is there some other way to be able to efficiently download
the pictures?

It seems to be incredibly convenient for him since it seems to compress
very high resolution images.

[ubuntu-uk] shutdown during log in: is it a feature?

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hello,

It used to be the case, at least I seem to remember, that if I was in the
log in of ubuntu (now light dm I think) if I pressed the shutdown button
(on the hardware) it will give me 60 seconds to shutdown but would
eventually shutdown.

The reason for this is that some times I turn on the computer but then
realize I do not have time or am called elsewhere ( I do not even turn on
screen). I would like to shutdown without having to do the hold 5 seconds
button.

Maybe I should not worry about doing a "hard" shutdown during login? I can
spare 5 seconds normally.

[ubuntu-uk] FW: Partnering For Innovation: Smart Energy, Games and Design Ideas Lab - 16 January 2012 [NP]

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hi I thought this might be interesting for any game designers out there.




*From:* Anita Onwuegbuzie [mailto:an...@creativeindustriesktn.org]
*Sent:* 21 December 2011 18:55
*To:* Andres Muniz Piniella
*Subject:* Partnering For Innovation: Smart Energy, Games and Design Ideas
Lab - 16 January 2012



Opportunity for designers and games developers to explore challenges around
TSB Smart Power Distribution and Demand £2.4M competition.

How can designers and games developers help persuade people to manage and
reduce energy consumption? This is one of the challenges contained in a new
Technology Strategy Board competition on “Smart Power Distribution and
Demand”.

The Technology Strategy Board is offering funding for feasibility studies
as the exploratory phase of a four year programme to stimulate innovation
in power distribution and the management of demand.  The *competition
briefing 
paper*<http://www.innovateuk.org/_assets/comp_smartenergy_final.pdf>suggests
that there is a role for creative businesses in helping to develop
‘novel, demand side, consumer focused technologies’ in the field.  It cites
cognitive design and social gaming as relevant skillsets.

What would be the reality of building such a proposal? Is it feasible for
games developers or GUI designers to work effectively with smart meter
manufacturers, energy companies or other players in the power sector? What
form might a joint project or feasibility study take? A multi-platform app
on smart phones or tablets that talks to individual smart meters? A Sim
City style game featuring real time data? A vertical application for smart
meter data with gamers demonstrating real-world energy usage, related
carbon emissions and efficiency? How can consumers be persuaded to change
behaviour in ways that will make a real difference?

To explore the possibilities, Creative Industries KTN and the Pervasive
Media Studio are hosting a ‘Partnering for Innovation’ event at the *Watershed
Media Centre *in* Bristol* on *16 January 2012*. It will bring together
people from the games and design sectors with businesses and organisations
in the energy supply chain to:

   - Network with other organisations
   - Gain an understanding of developments in Smart Energy space
   - Explore the themes for the competition and the potential role of
   creative businesses
   - Make contacts and discuss potential collaborations

If this is a challenge that interests you and you would like to take part
in the event, please register your interest with
an...@creativeindustriesktn.org<http://creativeindustriesktn.org/beacons/pg/mailer/url/349856/h1>

[ubuntu-uk] costume launcher on unity?

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hello,

I was having problems to get my web cam working under skype.
Luckly I found

http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/video-is-not-working-on-Ubuntu-11-10/td-p/216792

I just need to run this in the comand line:
sh -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
/usr/bin/skype "$@"'
What ever that means and the video now works!

But I now need to set it up in a nice button for my wife to use it and to
get my sister an easy way in.
Previously I was able to setup a costume launcher but I am new to ubuntu
11.10 and I cannot find how to do it.

http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-desktop-launchers-in-ubuntu-11-10oneiric.html

I tried this. but the shortcut does not show on the desktop.

[ubuntu-uk] RIP: Keith Bartlett

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

In case it is of interest:
I am sad to report the death recently of Keith Bartlett, who worked at NPL
and was involved
in one of our most significant achievements – the development of packet
switching.
Keith Anthony Bartlett joined NPL in October 1962 to work in the Autonomics
Division as an Executive Officer
following a short period in the RAF. From this area Keith became one of the
founder members of Donald Davies'
Data Communications Group, whose initial purpose was to explore the
feasibility of the communications technique
that became known as 'packet switching' in 1966.
The Data Communication Group (originally a team of 3) developed the first
'straw man' design for a 'packet
switch', a mechanism for transferring data electronically. This work was
published in 1967 (ACM conference in
Gatlinburg, USA), with Keith as a co-author.
Keith’s knowledge and experience in electronic engineering made him a key
member of the small team that began
to explore how a cost-effective computer communications network could be
designed, based upon a combination
of electronic hardware and the small ('mini') computers of the time, acting
as network 'nodes' interconnected by
high speed (1.5 megabit) lines.
A hypothetical 18-node network, intended to cover most of the UK's major
cities, was used as a model to estimate
performance. Keith made significant contributions to the thinking that went
into this feasibility study and the
production of a seminal conference paper based upon it, in autumn 1967 (of
which he was a joint author), which
alerted the international academic community to the benefits of packet
switching. It was as a direct result of this
publication that the packet switching communications technique was adopted
by the US ARPA team that
developed the ARPANET which, in turn, led eventually to the creation of the
Internet. Packet switching is the
communications technology upon which the Internet, and everything that
builds upon it, is based.
During 1967-68, the development of a local network for the NPL campus was
explored to demonstrate the
practical application of packet switching. The development of a
national-scale network, though much to be
desired, was at that stage politically impossible. Keith played a major
role in the planning and design for what
became known as the 'NPL network', the UK's first network based on packet
switching principles. Keith was put in
charge of network hardware development and, with his colleagues, made
significant contributions to the design
and production of several novel components of the network.
The data communications network eventually covered all the buildings in the
78-acre NPL site, and was an
entirely digital system, the lines operating at the then enormous data-rate
of 1Mbit/s. This was probably the world's
first high-speed Local Area Network (LAN).
Keith left NPL in 1972, taking his knowledge to work on network
interconnection, the Post Office EPSS
(Experimental Packet Switching Service) and onto roles with the Department
for Trade and Industry (DTI). He
retired from Civil Service life in 1991.
In 2009, he and a number of other retired colleagues from NPL championed
for a permanent memorial of Donald
Davis's work. He was instrumental in helping set up a small exhibition on
this at the National Museum of
Computing, which includes a short video of Keith recalling working at NPL.

[ubuntu-uk] printing several A6 in an A4

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hello,

I've tried setting the printer (either to file or to a real printer) to
print several (2) A6 to an A4 with no result.

To go over what I do:
Created an A6 document (normally pdf with inkscape)
Set number of copies to 2
Set number of copies of page to 2
Ensure that I'm using A4 paper
Don't shrink
Rest of the settings seem fine by default (page order, centered, ...)

all I'm able to get is 1 copy of the A6 in the preview print sometimes
upside down and in the bottom of the page.

Can any of you manage this? What am i doing wrong?

Went a little farther on my investigations.
It seems relevant to the name. coventorware is looking for libgomp.so.1
and synaptic package manager says libgomp.so is installed.

I've been told that the number at the end is the version number and I'm
inclined
to believe that it might break as Martijn suggested. So what are my
alternatives?

either coventorware help me?
I switch to red Hat?

So any of you use canonical support? would this be the kind of thing that
they could

[ubuntu-uk] Missing libraries

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hi,

We are trying to install a software (coventorware) that  normally is
supported if installed in redhat 4 but "should work" on other linux distros
like ubuntu.

We managed to install everthing but there is one library that is
missing: libgomp.so.1.  And
we think it's called libgomp(something) in ubuntu (already installed).  it
seems they are spelt slightly differently. How would I get the coventorware
installer to find libgomp?


Thanks for any help!

[ubuntu-uk] 30 test drive of Ubuntu: PC world

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

I've been following up 7 days of this guy fighting a change to Ubuntu
from Windows7.

Sadly he is finding loads of contradictory messages, rants about
linux, rants about mint, rants about nvidia drivers...

But a very interesting read. Linux foundation is retweeting every
single blogpost.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] BBC Click

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Still haven't seen the BBC click video that started this but I like
where it is going!

I did give a slight thought as how to engage a class to learn a bit of
programming or open (free) software culture. I came up with a silly
idea but I'll just say it.

1) Get the kids to agree what they would like to do: image editor,
syncing tool, game ... make sure they all like there idea and it would
be best that they stick to one.
2) Search of an existing project that uses that idea or a similar one.
In the unlikely event that a project does not exist create it, but
this would be more difficult)
3) Get the kids to use the program and:
a) reading code if they like to program (add your stuff)
b) bug reporting
c) translating if programming is not of their interest (both code and
documentation)
d) doing documentation if the above is not good
e) doing artwork for the project if the above is not good
f) spreading the word with videos, flyers etc if the above is not good
(using the input from d)
g) prepare video tutorials (using the input from c)



The above sounds so exciting that I want to do it. If the program is
portable to android, meego or maemo it will get them to want to ditch
their blackberrys and iphones.

Well maybe it's too high hopes but that is the kind of thing I would
like my daughter to do in computer classes.

Count me in if you need someone from the Ham, Richmond council. I
can't say my programming skills or programming management are any good
but I can translate and do bug reports.

Hi,
It was the first thing I wanted to Rate. I couldn't so I went and
rated Inkscape and GIMP. I then tried again and it wouldn't rate. I
only rated about 3 apps tops.

Shutdown, let it rest for a day and tried again but still would not
let me rate.

Would you mind trying to rate it?

Please tell me how you get on with the 13hr battery life. The laptop
we have at home goes by 8hrs but only if the ASUS resource saving mode
is on. I seem to recall that things like video watching where affected
in this mode.

You can all relax, I am now dual booting Ubuntu 11.04 on my Eee PC
1015PEM, with Ubuntu as the default.

I cannot see myself booting into W7 very often - don't really know why I
kept it.

[ubuntu-uk] Rating software in software centre

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hello,

Do any of you use the rating system in the ubuntu software centre?

I was able to rate many apps but was unable to rate Gwyddion.

Is there any reason for this? Could you try it?

Would you go through the effort of saying it also affects you here:

PS: thanks for the ASUS ubuntu response. true, speed seems to be the
least of it's problems.

My wife has an asus bamboo Laptop and it has the gate thing developed

Re: [ubuntu-uk] back again at 64 bit

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

10.04 seems to have installed OK. I think it has to do more with the
pendrive linux thing. I could have sworn that it finished differently.
Is it worth reporting? where to?

running it off a USB but when trying to install the nvidia drivers but
said something about missing the address: no address assciated with
hostname? I guess this has to do with having to set up the proxy? I
had to change that with firefox to a certain gate ...

[ubuntu-uk] back again at 64 bit

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hello a work collegue has a 64 bit machine and tried running (live
usb) natty on it. and said it failed.

I tried at my work PC downloaded the 64bit version and used the web
guide to install it on a USB. Seemed to work fine but when I clicked
on "try ubuntu" busybox code came by and said the following:

cannot mount /dev/loop1 on /cow
(initramfs)

I'm now downloading the LTS 64 bit to see how that goes,
but in the mean time if he wants to do, for example, some video
editing at home would openshot, pititvi, ... take the advantage of the
64bit machine? or would it act as if it's a 32bit? If so it might be
worth just to install ubuntu32bit.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] gnumeric or librecalc? selecting cells

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Thanks Matt!

But was looking for something more practical.
In Gnumeric one of the developers (Andreas) indicated I could go to
format>sheet>R1C1 notation. I could then go and type in R256C256

This brings me to a new point. gnumeric seems to have a 256 column
limit while the wikipedia page suggests 8,192. Any of you have the
same limit?

512 is SR, you can calculate this two ways, the easy way is to just
put a run of numbers in the top row (put 1 in A1 then click the little
box in the corner of the cell and drag it along until you reach the
number you want) and just look up at the top of the column.
The fun way is to take your column number X and then do
First letters index (a=1,b=2...z=26) = the integer part of x/26
second letter index = the fractional part of x/26 * 26
so for 512...
512/26 = 19.6923076923 so first letter is letter 19, which is S
Second letter = 26*0.6923076923 = 18 Which is R

Personally... the first method is quicker when doing a lookup by hand
and I'm sure there's a better way of doing the second method.

[ubuntu-uk] keyboard shortcuts reset

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hello Again;

I started using 11.04 but I found that I had messed up the "official"
keyboard shortcuts for my liking and I would like to use the default
so that I can use other's computers.
Is there a dumbed down/gui way to reset these to default? If not,
would it be appropriate to file it as a bug?

I found suggestions on the forums but given it means going to hidden
folders just thought I might ask (if they are hidden I guess there is
a reason?)

quote [0]"
 I create a new user, went to ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals, copy
the directory keyboard and later paste it in my original user. it
works :)
"endquote
and [1] quote"
This might not work (and is sort off a 'last resort' approach) so
you'll want to backup your entire ~/.gconf folder before trying this.
Note that I haven't actually tried this myself.

If you want to reset the keyboard shortcuts remove the directories
global_keybindings, keybinding_commands, window_keybindings from the
directory ~/.gconf/apps/metacity and logout/login (not necessary
persé, but it sure is the easiest route).

[ubuntu-uk] gnumeric or librecalc? selecting cells

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hello all,

I'm about to ask questions about software that runs on ubuntu please
tell me if this is out of line (or simply ignore) and I'll go
subscribe myself to the appropriate list.
I was using gnumeric up to now but it  libreCalc looked very
attractive and i decided to switch. But now I'm a bit lost on the
commands:

For example:
With gnumeric I could select an area of cells (e.g. 256x256) type a
value (e.g. 0) and do ctrl+enter and I could populate the area with
that value. With libreCalc it didn't work but shift+ctrl+enter changed
it to an array ({=0}) (don't know what this is meant to be) and I
cannot change selected values back so it's not good (and it's
difficult to get rid of). I have found out that to do the same thing I
need to type ctrl+alt+enter after entering a value.

(hope this tip helped someone I couldn't find it in the libre office help menus)

Now my question:
When selecting an area gnumeric would tell me what row and column I'm
at with numbers. I've been looking for a while now and I have no way
of knowing where column 256 is. I managed to figure out it was IV (or
I think it is). But what if I want to select 512 columns?

[ubuntu-uk] Firefox vs the ubuntu page

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hello all,

Thanks for the previous answer on upgrading.

I just had a bit of an embarrassing moment with a work colleague. I
have firefox 4.0.1 without flash on my XP machine. I went to the
http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/whats-new page to show him cool things
with new ubuntu and I got an error saying to get HTML5 or adobe flash.
When I click on the HTML5 it sends me to safari.

Could you confirm or unconfirm this? Might be settings on my firefox?
I looked it up if it was a but and this poped up:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/772778
so I posted my stuff there.

BTW: you tube html 5 works for me. (except the ones with ads it seems)

[ubuntu-uk] updating from 10.04 to 11.04

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hello all,

I'm running 10.04 (lts) netbook edition. I'm really happy with it and
I'm tempted to stay until the next LTS (if it's not broke, don't fix
it) but so much talking about unity got me thinking.

I initially had started with 10.10 but I did it too soon and I was
getting too many problems with the original unity so I went back to
10.04 and stayed there.

If I upgrade: would it be best if I go first to 10.10 and then to
11.04? or do I go directly to 11.04. I would rather do the former
because I have a friend with 10.10 and is asking me if she should
update to 11.04 (same netbook)... I want to try it first to guide her
better.

Subject: [ubuntu-uk] Please help with research ...
Hi there ...  At last night's ubuntu-adverts meeting, I arranged an
experimental survey for research.  I hope some of you can consider
helping with it.

First, find one or more willing volunteers from among friends.
Volunteers  need to be 'Ubuntu Virgins'.  They are computer literate,
but have no  experience at all of any flavour of Linux.

Give them a Maverick 10.10  LiveCD and ask them to run it and
familiarise themselves with Ubuntu.   After a week to ten days, arrange
to interview them and make out a  report.

There are no specific questions; just ask them how things went, and
report back on their findings, what problems they found, and what they
would have liked to do but were unable to find a way of doing it.  Note
their overall impression and whether they would consider moving to
Ubuntu.  Please give reasons for or against.  The interview needs to be
conducted with great sensitivity and a good listening ear.  If all goes
well, you should hardly need to say anything; just listen!

I have placed an etherpad at: http://openetherpad.org/cZDc393hcW for
feedback and comments.  Please consider helping with this.  If you are
in contact with other locos/groups, you might care to forward this to
them.

Kind regards,   Barry.
