[ubuntu-uk] HTML coding
Thank you Alan Colin for your help. I had forgotten about W3 verifying software. I ran my code through it and it highlighted 80 faults, mainly due to protocol html (strict) that put some of the other coding out. I ran it through the corrector which has helped me avoid correcting too much and I can now concentrate on the major ones. Lucky it ran, Thanks for your help John -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] HTML images
Hi, I am a novice at web site design. I am designing a web site for my son's business. One page of index and 2 pages of photos. Portfolio pictures etc. I have done the first and second page, in Firefox they display perfectly but with explorer and chrome, some of the photos are missing. I have checked the naming conventions of the photos, some are initials I have made up and some are called DSCF3.jpg and some are csl1.jpg (example) I have used this convention and viewed it with various browsers, some with the capitals display and others do not , Can anyone explain what is wrong ?

[ubuntu-uk] Help please
Hi, I am sorry this is not Ubuntu related but could any offer some help for a novice web site builder ? I have made a web site with a main page, gallery page and an image folder. When working in Notepad++ I have no problem opening the pages in a browser but I am unsure of how to make sure they are all linked together and uploaded. When I have looked on local host sometimes the photos have been missing and I assume that file naming is to blame. My question is how to name the files, I assume opening page is index.html 2 nd page is gallery.htm and photos .images Can someone help me with this. Do I have to put all these files in a folder to upload. I have bought loads of books but none cover this bit ! Many thanks John -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Hi Chris,
Thanks for your input. I get the idea. I am just using my browser to view the files. I am trying to do a site for my son and he is going to get the hosting site, I just want to make sure he has everything in order and it will run when uploaded. Any further input welcome John -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Are we missing the point with an OS ?
I am an experienced Linux/Ubuntu user, I went to night school to learn it. I use Ubuntu and Windows 7 on a daily basis and think that the OS is just somewhere to store the programmes I need to work with. In Windows, it is the Apps that have to perform properly, like Office,Photoshop, email etc. It seems that with Ubuntu et al, effort is put into the OS but it does not seem the same with the applications, there developers seem to be left to their own devices. Without applications, the OS is useless. I think this is why cloud computing is becoming more popular, Or am I missing the point, John Davis -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Are we missing the point ?
Many thanks for your interesting responses to my question. I enjoy Ubuntu and have seen it grow from early beginnings to what it is now. Early on, I was bored and frustrated with Windows, Ubuntu was new, exciting and a challenge to learn. The free specialised software filled a gap that the commercials did not and I liked that. When Ubuntu first appeared, I imagined children in 3rd world countries using cheap computers with Ubuntu. Developers sitting in bedsits writing software, all for the common good. I am grateful for all who have donated their software to the cause. Canonical seems to have moved on and by necessity has had to become more commercial. I approve of that,just because something is free, does not make it better. I would pay for Ubuntu, if the money could be channelled into developing better applications that were more cross platform friendly. Perhaps we should concentrate less on the myriad of distros,which seem to detract from moving forward, Just a view !

[ubuntu-uk] Web server help please!
I would like to set up a small web server to host my own web site; I have followed the tutorials and installed Ubuntu server. This was quite easy to do, the hard part is what comes next. Can any one point me in the direction of a tutorial that shows me how to add my web pages, configure the ports,set up security and email addresses ? Most tuorials have very good pictorial setup info just for the installation procedure,my knowledge is scant for what to do next !

[ubuntu-uk] IDE to Sata

[ubuntu-uk] Ide to sata
This is not a linux question as such but I know someone will know the answer! My computers hard drive is full. I have finally persuaded the Missus to have a go at Ubuntu. I would like to buy a 500 gig SATA hard drive Partition it half for Wind**s and Ubuntu as the main. I know I have to get an IDE to SATA adapter. My question is; does my 2 dvd drives need to be connected to this adapter or do they connect to the motherboard as normal ? Can I also use one SATA hard drive with adapter and a normal IDE hard drive connected to the mother board ? In order to empty the hard drive already fitted by dragging and dropping? The pc is 6 years old and a Hewlett Packard. Any tips welcome John-- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Reply to my post
I would like to thank John Levin for his response to my post. The information given, was very helpful and I would like to post further, enclosing details of the pc,card and distro,(Gutsy Gibbon) My residence is France, I am from the UK. The French LUG's are very helpful, Ubuntu is mega here, the language always poses a difficulty at this level with support. I agree with Sean Miller, that it is the fault of the hardware manufacturers but having said that, Linux is trying to compete as an operating system and knows the pitfalls it faces. I am a semi retired engineer, who came to computing quite late on, I try to keep going with it, because I believe it is the way forward for me. It is just frustrating to not get anywhere, I expect the brain cells are the cause. Many thanks for letting me rant John Davis-- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
