Hi Tony and Rob. Thanks for the prompt response to my plight. Let me first explain how I created the edubutu CD. A. How I created the DVD/CD 1. I down loaded the software. 2. When the downloading was completed, the following files appeared Edubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386 (with a dvd sign at the beginning) The second file is edubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386.iso.part I inserted a black DVD and highlighted the two file and instructed it to burn Please note that I tried to right click as per instructions given in the burning Iso instruction but there was no burning function. A window appeared asking me how I want to use the disc Disc Title: edubuntu Like a USB flash drive Or With a CD/DVD player (selected this option Went to next… Files ready to be written to the disc (2) edubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386 (under type NTI iso file, size 0KB) edubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386.iso.part under type PART file, size 222,322KB Please note that both files had down arrows at the beginning of the file names I clicked the burn function, another window appeared with the disc title (edubuntu) Recording speed, reduced it to 10x. Clicked burn A message appeared saying you have successfully burned your files then it ejected the CD before I clicked finish. This is basically the process I used to create the DVD/CD B. Booting from the BIOS I tried to follow the instructions which Rob sent me and this is my experience. i) I switched off the laptop and switched it on. ii) During the process of booting, I pressed F2 and it took me inside setup utility with the menu bar having, Information, Main, Security, Boot and exit. iii) Selected boot and it gave the boot priority order IDEO: WDC WD5000BE VT-22AORTO IDEI: Optiarc DVD RW AD-75805 USB FDD Network Boot: Legacy PCI USB HDD Device USB CDROM iv I tried second and last option but did not respond.

Clicked burn A message appeared saying you have successfully burned your files then it ejected the CD before I clicked finish. This is basically the process I used to create the DVD/CD Okay the edubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386.iso.part is a file that appears when you download the iso image (basically it downloads into the .part file and then when it's downloaded it is renamed to the proper filename). I suspect the ISO didn't download correctly to start with. You also need to burn the ISO image as a disk image rather than just burn the file on to the disc. That is your DVD writer software should read the ISO file and burn it's contents to the DVD. If you're running on Windows I'd suggest you install ImgBurn from http://www.imgburn.com/ When installed, you should be able to double click on the ISO file (it might come up as edubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386 with an icon which looks a bit like a CD on top of a piece of paper). ImgBurn should then automatically start up and open the disk image. Then you insert a blank DVD and click the burn button (it will be a big icon of a CD on top of a piece of paper with an arrow pointing to a CD). Once it's burnt the DVD it should verify the disc to make sure it's burnt okay. If you then look at the contents of the disc on Windows you should see a list of files and folders which look a bit like this... autorun.inf casper dists install isolinux md5sum.txt pics pool preseed README.diskdefines ubuntu wubi.exe (This is a listing of the Ubuntu 10.04.1 Desktop CD but it gives you an example of the sort of thing you will see). If you see just one file, edubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386 then you have burnt the DVD incorrectly. B. Booting from the BIOS I tried to follow the instructions which Rob sent me and this is my experience. i) I switched off the laptop and switched it on. ii) During the process of booting, I pressed F2 and it took me inside setup utility with the menu bar having, Information, Main, Security, Boot and exit. iii) Selected boot and it gave the boot priority order IDEO: WDC WD5000BE VT-22AORTO IDEI: Optiarc DVD RW AD-75805 USB FDD Network Boot: Legacy PCI USB HDD Device USB CDROM iv I tried second and last option but did not respond. You need to make sure the IDE1: Optiarc DVD RW AD-75805 is the first option, it will then look at the DVD drive first for a bootable disc, if it fails to find it then it will check the hard drive and so on. Otherwise you may find that you can press the F12 (or maybe F10) key at startup to temporary select another boot device. You may find when you turn the laptop on it pops up with a message saying something like Press F12 to change boot order or something like that. Anyway, hope this helps. I'd also suggest that you make a backup of any important data on your laptop before trying to install. Chances are everything will be fine (I've not personally had any issues dual booting myself) but it's always a good idea to have a backup just in case.

The DVD is not in a bootable format. Please describe the process you used to create the edubuntu DVD. 2. Your computer is not set to boot automatically from DVD. The default boot sequence is set in the computer BIOS. You should enter the set-up options and change the boot sequence to put the DVD above the HDD. Alternatively, some computers have the facility to call up a list of all bootable devices that you can select the DVD from.

(Basically when the machine boots you may have to press a key to get into the BIOS, this might be the delete company, or F1, F2 maybe). There should be an option in there to select the startup sequence. On some machines you can also select a temporary boot device (on my machine for instance if I press F12 at boot up I can select to boot from CD/DVD, USB hard drive etc. It might also help if you can tell us what you see in Windows when you put the DVD in.

We hand these out free at events but charge for mail-order CDs and always for USB sticks as these are seriously too expensive to give away. To hand out a few dozen CDs at an event means that a couple of volunteers have to spend an afternoon feeding CDs into a row of laptops (we can't afford a pro burner - one of the Councils for Voluntary Service offered to buy Fossbox one but the cuts kiboshed that), plus the cost of the CDs, covers and labelling. We're a small non-profit, I can't really cost per CD accurately, so we charge three quid per CD send out in an SAE - people are happy to pay it because they don't trust their own ability to get the right stuff by going online. We don't make a profit on it, any money we make just goes towards keeping the non-profit organisation going - if it were a purely commercial decision, I wouldn't bother, not worth it. There's no restriction on charging for CDs, and we've talked about asking for people to contribute to refreshments at our free sessions too - same thing, in my view.

Some people are totally happy to pay for an item. In fact, the more it costs may add to more interest in perceived value. I used to be a long time Windows user. My first venture into Linux happened to be with Suse. I was perfectly aware that it could be downloaded, but had never actually done this. My Windows world experience had taught me many things, including that personal downloads were somehow *tainted*. I very happily purchased a retail pack of Suse 9.0 for around 60 UK pounds from Amazon. I knew this included two paperback manuals, dvd of source code, and I think both live and install CDs. It *also* included 6 months telephone support. In the event very little of any of that was needed by me. I did call the phone line once or twice but the support on the forums was equal and excellent.

You could sync all of them to your Google Calendar?

First of all add the Lightning plugin to Thunderbird, then there is another plugin (can't remember the name of it off the top of my head) which will allow Lightning to syncronise with Google Calendar. Then setup Evolution to use the Google Calendar (you should be able to do it without running the wizard, IIRC you don't have to setup an e-mail account). Then you should get notifications in both Lightning and on the notifications app. I do this, well I have got Lightning on the wife's PC syncing with my Google calendar and I've got my laptop running Ubuntu syncing with my Google calendar, and my Nokia phone too so I've got no excuse to miss appointments now.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] (no subject)
The only way I found to integrate Google Calendar into the top-right Calendar in Gnome was to use Evolution. You have to install a Google Calendar plugin to Evolution[1] and sync you calendar. Then it appears auto-magically in the top right. This runs in the background all the time (ie you don't have to open Evolution for it to sync events). I found it easier to edit it through the browser than through the plugin but both worked.

Trouble started the following day when after an update the printer decided it didn't want to work. It sits there after receiving the document cycling through it's start up cycle and then stops, it doesn't print anything. I've tried removing the printer from Ubuntu and reinstalling it, this seems to work until Ubuntu is restarted, then back to the same problem. I know I'm doing something wrong, I just don't know what!

Re: [ubuntu-uk] (no subject)
Once you know the name of the program using the method Dianne suggested and are able to run it in a terminal suggested by Neil you can add it to the applications menu by right clicking on where it says Applications on the menu bar then click on Edit Menus. A window will open, on the left find the category that you think best describes the program. On the right click New Item. Keep the type as application, choose what you like for the name but its probably best to use the name of the application (obviously). In the command box enter the command found using Dianne's method. Fill in a comment. You can click the picture of a spring with something on top of it to browse for an icon. After all that is done, click ok. The application will now be in the menu which is useful if you do not wish to open a terminal everytime to run it and use it frequently, you can also add it to the panel shortcuts.

Then type the name you found from Dianne's suggestion. HTH, and hope I'm not sounding patronising.

~s Re: [ubuntu-uk] memory lane, was: Please can someone look at this and try to help Hi, lots of interesting stuff on this subject but I have to disagree with Norman (I think) the best terminal EVER was the DEC VT100 closely followed by the wonderful VT220. DEC lost it after that :-( Best ever printer was the DECWriter III. I've seen cars with smaller starter motors than that printer's head motor :-) I currently have (though not used for a couple of years) an HP 2563A line printer, another good piece of kit but not with the same cachet as the DECWriter :-( I think it was Alan that mentioned solder bridges etc. I realised a couple of years ago that that was why computers are not as much fun as they used to be. When I started you had to know how to use a soldering iron, you had to know that a paperclip was the perfect tool for testing that a dumb terminal's RS232 port was working properly, you had to be able to solder RS232 cables and later centronics cables if they broke. We have lost something over the years because of this lack of understanding - I too remember having to use the CP/M debugger to read the wordstar binary in and edit the binary by hand and then save it back to another floppy just to get the thing to do stuff like print underscores and bold on a printer that wasn't known. Now, you can't even have a soldering iron without a qualification from the safety inspector and lead in solder - whoa there - toxic material - can't have that - you'll need hard hat, eye protection, fume protection, gloves and a leather apron before you can touch it. We were so poor we couldn't afford evo-stik - we got our highs breathing in resin cored solder fumes :-) TTFN D ubuntu/uk-2007-11-13.txubuntu-uk ~! ~/.sig -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

I did have a dummy plug with pins 2-3 and 6-20 connected inside at one stage, I recall... never quite figured out why people paid out money for test plugs when it was simple enough to make them yourself... guess it's the grated cheese syndrome...

Not if you use IMAP rather than POP. When you use IMAP, it downloads the headers of the email to your machine, then downloads the message only when you want to read it. It keeps the message on the server though, so whether you read it using a webmail client or IMAP through your email client.

CALLING ALL USERS - CALLING ALL USERS - Anybody out there using HOTMAIL
REPEAT Anybody out there using HOTMAIL ?
If there is can they send a message to the list and see if we can
duplicate Javad's problem ?
If we can't solve this there is little hope for civilisation...
Javad, can you look to see if there is an option to send 'ASCII'
or RFC-822 compliant mail, or Don't send HTML encoded messages.
It will be something like that. I know the messages you send have an
attachment (HTML version of the mail you send) so if you can turn that
off it may help.
It may be useful to create a new message asking for help and DO NOT
reference this message thread in it - it may be that this one email has
a problem that is being propogated throughout subsequent mailings.
I've done a bit of editing with the whole email (line breaks, line
prefixes !}fmt etc to move it to historically acceptable format and if
this gets mangled, I'll tear your hair out :-)

Hi all, Have just installed Kubuntu 7.10 gutsy. New to kubuntu and not an expert but have done linux instally before. I want to use cshell, it's what I am used to and the scientific community in which I work always give instructions for cshrc scripts. I've installed all relevant libraries as far as I can see (details below) but when I change shell from bash to csh konsole window text is just white on black, ie no colour text. More annoyingly up arrow function to recall previously typed text no longer works either, same story with tcsh. I should say all above is just fine with bash, different colours for dir, files etc, and up arrow binding is as expected. I'm not a programmer guys I don't want to have to learn bash syntax! Ok some details this is a 64bit tin but am currently running i386 version of gutsy (many progs I use don't work in 64bit) I have csh version 20060813-1 and tcsh 6.14.00-7 I looked on the ubuntu web pages and installed any needed or even suggested libraries libc6 2.6.1-1ubuntu9 libgcc1 1:4.2.1ubuntu4 gcc-4.2.1-5ubuntu4 And some I've some locales, though am not sure what they do exactly so not sure what I really need. belocs-locales-bin 2.4-2.2ubuntu5 locales 2.6.1-1 util-linux-locales 2.13-8ubuntu1 xterm 229-1 Any help appreciated this is driving me up the pole!

Short answer, no. Data needs to go through the Network interface,RAM,CPU etc which wont work when powered down...
