[ubuntu-uk] Hi
Hi, So I said things... but they were in the IRC channel. Just in case that is a bit quiet I thought I'd share them here also. * Now talking on #ubuntu-uk Hi, err... I'm new... so Hi (yes... I did just join the mailing list :P) (Also I'm a part of staffslug.org.uk) oh and yup also I've joined the ubuntu-uk team in Launchpad Happy to do... stuff - if given stuff to do :P I would add info about being in that LUG to this page... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/OtherGroups but seems I'm not allowed to (I'm guessing my username 'lantizia' would need to be allowed in the UKTeam wiki namespace?)

[ubuntu-uk] Hi there
Hello, not really sure how this works. Will i get an e-mail back? Sorry to ask. My name is Simon from Gratham, Lincs and would to love know more about Ubuntu. It's a thought i've had for many years but could never quite contextualize. Why do we need money? It costs nothing for tree's to grow, or pick up fruit and vegetables, build a house etc. so why do have to pay for it? If people just did what was needed to be done to thrive without having to 'earn money' first. I've tried to open the discussion with highly- intelligent friends but just get 'try and pay for your food, rent without it' and they miss the point entirely. Anyway I hope to hear from someone soon. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Hi all - perhaps you can help (At my whits end) Ubuntu 7.04 freezes on splash screen after install to new hard drive-HELP!!!
Ok, some additional information. It seems that I got it wrong in the previous post. The feisty live(DvD) does indeed have two entries for the HPT374 module, one of which is linked to the HPT366 driver. What is curious (not to mention damn infuriating as well), is that I can see the drive connected when I boot up from the Feisty Live(DvD) and I can access all the content. However, today I booted up from a Gutsy Live (CD) and although I can still see the drive, it would not mount. It gave me some error about improper shutdown or it still being in use. Also something about ntfs and a very concise option on how to force mount it (at my own risk) if I so wished. So, in conclusion for this post. 1.) The drive mounts and is able to be accessed normally from a Feisty Live (DvD). 2.)The drive is visible but is not mounted, neither can it be accessed on the Gutsy Live (Cd) without forcing (something I am not prepared to do at this juncture as the data held on it is to important to me to risk corruption). 3.)The drive causes a virgin Feisty installation to a IDE hard drive to freeze at the Ubuntu splash window, if it is connected to the Highpoint RocketRaid 1540 interface card at boot up (* please note that it will only cause a boot freeze if connected to ports 1 or 2 on the interface card - If connected to ports 3 or 4 it will boot normally, however the drive is not visible inside either ubuntu Feisty or Gutsy if the the OS is installed on a hard drive). Has anyone got any idea why I can see and use the drive connected to port 1 or 2 on the Highpoint Rocket Raid 1540 SATA , when using the Feisty Live (DvD) but it will not work on either the Gutsy Live (Cd) or either Feisty or Gutsy installed on an IDE hard drive? Please help me someone as this is causing me sleepless nights and I dont know enough about linux or Ubuntu yet to try compiling the source HPT374 driver from Highpoint, yet.

I Alan and Dave(Walker). We met at the Gutsy launch party at the pembury in Hackney. Yep, I'm the guy that lost nearly two weeks sleep trying to find out why my feisty install kept freezing at the Ubuntu splash screen. Please can you look at this Ubuntu question/Bug report: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/12661 and the one I have added to it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/159397 that one contains a little more information and a theory as to why I cant boot with a drive attached to the highpoint rocketraid 1540 sata interface card.

The culture change can begin very close to home also with - being sure to introduce the subject of Open Source and Ubuntu into relevant conversations with family and friends. - being able to offer to help install open source apps for friends who are not PC literate - consider encouraging or helping your more PC adventurous friends to install Ubuntu - they will often be sort of thinking of linux, but since they have lived with windows for years, it will be reassuring to have someone using linux to discuss issues initially. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Write back to your IT teachers and email some of the discussion perhaps. My son installed Ubuntu for me- so we have so much to learn from all of you younger chaps.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Hi
It's been mentioned lately that the English-speaking LoCo teams have a slightly different role from the non-English ones; since the main Ubuntu site is in English translation of support materials is obviously irrelevant. That said, there are plenty of things that are specific to the UK that people around here are keep to develop and the UKTeam wiki pages should give you a good feel for those.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Hi
I wonder how important it is to have a Welsh version of Edubuntu. Perhaps it could be a useful exercise to involve students of the Welsh language, especially those in bilingual schools, to take an active part in producing the translations. I would expect such a translation to require a detailed knowledge of the necessary technical language and perhaps there could be support via the Welsh Assembly. There is a Welsh dictionary available which can be used with Open Office and the instructions to download and install it, via the wizard, are in Welsh. I have some experience of doing low budget software translations and have found that it is perfectly possible to use 'non-techie' translators, you just need to have a 'techie' to explain the *meaning* of the text to be translated, rather than relying on the translator to interpret the actual words. I like the Welsh Assembly idea too. Is Windows capable of speaking Welsh ? BTW; Hello, new to the list - I have been watching for sometime, but this is the first time I have had anything to say ;-) Alan -- ubuntu-uk mailing list ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Hi
Hi TedGood to see someone new here! We're making progress with the UKTeam wiki pages (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam) in the last week or two, so I've added you to the members list there. Don't think there are only four people - it's just that everyone hasn't added there names yet! There's no formal joining to be done, just dive right in and contribute where you can. If there's anything you feel you can bring to the UKTeam wiki pages edit away.
