[ubuntu-uk] Dbus problems
apologies for my absence (and for my email address link), I thought I'd worked around this problem by using 'dbus-launch hp-toolbox' to install a printer, but no joy - now ( a few days later) I'm back to square one, but without the ability to get it working again. I'm interested to know (but can't understand at all really) not only if this bug fix can be applied to ubuntu, but also how to apply it :/, I'm not quite sure I can make sense of what they're saying. http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10929 same applies really to this one: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=9944&action=edit it all seems a bit involved, but gives no details other than that it is there. My info started coming from here because it's the only thing I could find that related to dbus. My details of what's going on for me are here (as a launchpad bug). I had no replies (not sure if I upset them - maybe too much info :(. Still - the problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/277295 I'm struggling with this, so hope someone can help. Thanks for your time already if you've read this far, and hope this isn't too wordy to be useful, Martin -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] hplip sudden failure in printing
Hi, I'm having issues with a fairly new install of hardy. my hp P1005 just stopped printing. it seems to be something to do with dbus & possibly glade, but I'm now at a loss. I posted a bug report (it has the output of various commands for perusal, but no joy yet can anybody help me? it would be good if i could have a direction to head in - whre else to look etc. http://mail.google.com/mail/?account_id=marshcast%40googlemail.com#inbox/11cbf86056827c60 Along with this problem, the machine also finds it hard to get site names (& therefore web pages), it appears this is down to it not being able to resolve hostnames intermittantly. other systems on the same network are fine. Hopeful, Martin. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Open Officce
instead of moving them, drink the pints. the problem with the points will then be much easier to deal with.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu cube graphics
you need a good card, you are lookinig for Beryl ( http://www.beryl-project.org/ ). it's a lot better than the cube, it's rammed with bits and peices that look fantastic ;) does have a few issues though - but that's the fun of it - you can get involved in developing it - like all linux stuff - no matter what level you are... from the wishlist to giving offerings... you're the navigator (or at least 'a' navigator(!) good luck!

Hmmm agreed. Isn't it a shame they have to open up the other repo's to get their mp3's to play etc and therefore be introduces to it at startup! -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

If I ran an environmentally friendly car i would be charged the same. I want to see environmental taxes, like the rest, but this isn't. and i'll put money down it'll see your bus fares go up too, even if not at first, the'll go up fast as soon as people start having to use them.. ;) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] Completely off topic
but - as this is a uk group & this is very important (at least to me and I expect a few of you) I apologise to those it doesn't effect, but there are massive road tax increases due. petition at: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/sign why?? well... this is a paste from the mail sent to me: UK ROAD TAX Dear all, Have done this, it's very easy. We have nothing to lose by trying - if you don't want Tony Gordon to have all our money because we drive a car or bike, then please at least sign up - This is the official #10 petition site. The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to use it. The tracking device will cost about £200 and in a recent study by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was £28 for a rural florist and £194 for a delivery driver. A non working Mum who used the car to take the kids to school paid £86 in one month. On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit* you can expect and additional fine with your monthly bill. If you care about this please sign the petition on No 10's new website: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/ Please pass this on to anyone who owns a car/motorcycle. It affects them. This is not limited to speeding. They also know where parking restrictions etc are located. And you! There are over 30million vehicles and drivers in this country. Just to register 3% of those against this proposal there needs to be 900k signed up! and the closing date is 20/02/07. Did you know about this? I didnt. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
