Re: [ubuntu-uk] Windows Vista Ultimate Edition
Buy ubuntu get windows free? 2008/11/17 Jai Harrison [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey guys, So I just won a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition in a prize draw and figured that it's no use to me as an Ubuntu user. I'm pretty sure that it's the retail version (not OEM) and was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how a FOSS user could get some value from it (e.g. sell it on and how I'd go about doing that or other ways of getting something from it).

[ubuntu-uk] Conversion from .oma to mp3
Does anyone know if any of the open source programs like winff can decode from Sony's .oma format. To those who dont know Sony's sonicstage wraps mp3 files in .oma and then puts it on the player. I dont have access to a windows pc anymore so i would ideally like to carry on using something opensource but not lose all my music as well.

Regards Javad Okay it's a bit more involved than just suggesting a card. I presume you want a digital card rather than an analogue card? There are various types you can get depending on how you want to receive the digital signal. Chances are it'll either be via Freeview (using a standard TV aerial) or FreeSat (using a Satellite dish pointed to 28.2 degrees east - same as what Sky Digital points to). This should help you find a supported Freeview (DVB-T) card: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_Devices This should help you find a supported Freesat (DVB-S) card: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S_Devices and this should help you find a supported Freesat High Definition (DVB-S2) card: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S2_Devices I would have thought _most_ Freeview TV adaptors (either USB or PCI) would be supported. Some require a firmware file although I believe a few are included with Ubuntu by default. I can't say about Satellite cards as I don't currently have one. Hope this helps. When you get a card you've got the exciting task of tuning it in. :-) Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Suggest a ubuntu compatible TV-CARD
I only want to view the channels on my virgin subscription. Not really planning on recording anything. I just wana get rid of the tv because its taking up space. Im planning on geting a bigger monitor soon so id just the monitor as my primary tv viewing method. 2008/10/15 Rob Beard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Javad Ayaz wrote: now that you understand my setup...would an analogue tv card be better than a digital one or vice versa? Well it depends exactly what you want to do. To give you an idea... I have put a TV card in my kids PC after their TV blew up. The original idea was to install MythTV and use a Freeview TV card so they could record their favourite programmes. However the actual Freeview card would only pick up a handful of channels. So in the end I just put in an analogue TV card (Pinnacle PCI PC TV Card) and plugged in a Freeview box. I decided to just use TV Time to view the output from the Freeview box and their games consoles on the monitor. So I'd say if you want to just watch TV on the PC, a basic analogue card will probably do the job. Just get a SCART to Phono cable so you can plug the Virgin box into the PC. You'll also probably need something for audio (some boxes have stereo photo outputs on the back, others don't so you'll need a 3.5mm to 2 x Photo cable and optionally a dual phono to phono coupler if you don't have audio output on the box, so you can connect the audio from the phonos on the SCART cable to the line in on your PC sound card). I haven't had a Virgin Media box in a while so I can't remember what outputs it has. Another alternative if your box supports it is to use an S-Video cable from the Virgin box to the PC. That'll give a better quality picture. Or you could get a Freeview card and use MythTV. That way MythTV will be able to record the Freeview channels to your hard drive. With multiple Freeview sticks/cards you'll be able to record more than one channel, or watch one channel while recording another but you'll need an aerial connection as a minimum, and possibly depending on your setup, a Freeview aerial on the roof (you may be lucky and get away without this).

I know ubuntu mobile exists but i dont think theres any easy way of installing it. I have not seen Ubuntu Mobile run on any mobile phones. As I understand it, Ubuntu Mobile is designed for mobile internet devices such as the Samsung Q1, Nokia N800 or ASUS EEE PC (maybe not those specific devices, but devices of their ilk), not for mobile phones. Whilst it's possible to run something like Debian (and perhaps Ubuntu) on the Neo Freerunner, I suspect that most of that is due to the device being designed as Linux compatibile from the get-go. Other phones will be less Linux friendly. Eagerly awaiting your response on this Don't hold your breath. I dont anticipate Ubuntu Mobile running (and working) on _any_ phone (with the possible exception of the freerunner) in the next few months.

The common recurring theme refers to ease of use and reliability and, after all this time, there are still most annoying defects rearing their ugly heads. Yesterday I decided to update my granddaughters computer from Edubuntu 7.10 to Edubuntu 8.04. No problem, I hear you say, just start Update Manager and take it from there. The process started telling me what was to happen and indicated that it would take about 2 1/2 hours. Great, files were downloaded and the installation process got underway until there were about 4 minutes to go then, everything ground to a halt. I am not very computerate and know very little about the ins and outs of Linux so what should I do? The first thought is to start again but I am not sure how to do that and, in any case, it would mean another 2 1/2 hours with no guarantee of success, the second thought is to scrap Edubuntu and return to Windows. However, I am an obstinate sort of person so I posed the question on the Ubuntu-users list. Within a very short time there was a response by someone giving the following reference:- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/249340 There you have it - a very, very important procedure had a bug which prevented the final stages of the upgrade process and which has been known for some time. Is this way to gain confidence and attract new users? I was able to follow the various suggestions without which my granddaughter would be using Windows XP Pro today. OK, I have sounded off but this sort of thing should not be allowed to happen and I would be grateful if someone, who knows their way around the Canonical set up, could bring this to the attention of someone who cares about the future of Ubuntu.

I certainly take Popey's point about a phone that works and works well, but just how much work/grief can one expect with the Freerunner? The two biggest drawbacks for me are the lack of a built-in camera and the massive start-up time, though I have to admit I don't expect to have to cold boot it that often. I've read numerous reviews, tech articles and so on and I'm still not really sure how close to end-user ready it is -- I've read some somewhat worrying stuff. I quite like it. It's an awesome piece of kit. The hardware is really god in my opinion though I take your point in reference to camera. The startup time shouldn't affect you really. It depends what you are wanting to use it for... if you want to use it as a phone(!) everything works fine. Rumours about stuff crashing on incoming calls etc seem to be a thing of the past, no more command line calls(!), the gui works fine and seems stable. Regarding SMS they are easy to send recieve.. no stability problems etc. Contacts and are automatically imported from your SIM if you have them there and more contacts can be imported in vcard format. I was extremely surprised at how polished the GPS stuff was Tango gps - http://www.tangogps.org is an awesome program a *bit* like the google maps bit of the iphone (i think). Anyway it does stuff like overlays your position on maps and allows you to record your track and stuff. The wifi stack is stable and functional, currently two beta GUIs exist for it, but development is so fast that 5 days ago, neither existed in their current form. By the time anything has been shipped to you, you will be wondering why i am mentioning anything there. GPRS is a bit ugly at the moment (functional but impractical) but I'm going to investigate that in more detail in the next few days with a view to making it awesome. There are 2 webrowsers, (the minifirefox one is best imho) an image gallery and file manager, pidgin IM client, and a media player. I would really recommend it, in places it is rough around the edges, but i can not give comparison at the speed development is going - if you think how the gnu/linux desktop changes in a year then you will probably be able to imagine how much the gnu/linux phone changes in a month...

I think that as far as windows compatibility goes, wine is still the
best. And they have just released version 1.0 (http://www.winehq.org/)
so I imagine that will be in Intrepid.
In any case, the version in Hardy is pretty stable, and runs WoW!
If you actually poke around, you will find that the ReactOS team are
working quite closely with the Wine team, as they are basing much of
their code on that.

If the firmware is replaceable then it is possible to put in a different image; you can't just pick any old image though. It would have to be one designed for the device you have (the hardware in embedded systems like mp3 players is incredibly varied so the software is rarely interchangeable).

As such blueman in that repo needs newer versions of packages than you have on Gutsy. You could do one of the following - in order of preference, best to worst. 1. Ask the people who make it if they have a deb package for Gutsy. 2. Learn how to package, and make the package for Gutsy yourself from the source on that site. 3. Upgrade to hardy, then try installing blueman 4. Install the package from source (unlikely to work as you'll probably still need the dependencies. 5. Ask someone else to package it for you for gutsy. If I were you I'd go for 1 then 3, as that's the easiest to do. If it were my system, I'd go for 1 then 2. Good luck!

So where do we start?and how can i help you in this? 2008/5/28 Robert McWilliam [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 02:53:29PM +0100, Javad Ayaz wrote: Are there any Rss readers that will beam info to a bluetooth phone !!! knewsticker / akregator / other KDE application I don't know of any apps that do this already (which doesn't mean much since I've never looked for it), but it shouldn't be hard to write the functionality yourself. Writing a script to copy the files from where ever your pod-catcher puts them to the phone is fairly easy: if you can mount the phone's filesystem (obexfs does this via FUSE but I haven't used it so have no idea how well it works) one rsync command will do, if not then you'd need a bit more logic to decide which files to send and then send them (off the top of my head I'd think this would be by getting a list of files on the phone already or if that was too much hassle looking at which ones are newer than the last time they were synced to the phone.). The next issue would be how to trigger the script: easiest is running it manually but there is scope for automating it either when the pod-catcher downloads new files or when your phone comes into range of the computer. In both cases you'd have to find some hook in the podcatcher or something that detects the phone being within range (blueproximity does this - intended for locking/unlocking the computer but it allows you to specify the commands to run for each so there is no reason it couldn't trigger the sync). I'm happy to help you through writing and hooking up such a script off list (save annoying anyone with a long thread) if you want. Once it's working it could go in your howto for anyone else wanting to the same thing.

REgards javad Javad, What is the exact problem? Bluetooth is a slightly more complicated protocol that needs you to manually pair devices before you can send anything. If your phone can see the PC, can you pair the devices? Have you authorised your phone to pair with the PC / vice versa? I believe once the pairing is done there should be no problem with file transfer.
