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 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.

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 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.

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.

2009/11/29 JONATHAN TAYLOR jonptay...@btinternet.com Hi, Recently I downloaded the file for my mum's Canon iP4600 printer and installed it. It worked after the install, and we restarted Ubuntu so that I could see it working after a restart and it appeared to be ok. 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! Any help is greatly appreciated. Jon Is it possible you are out of ink or something? On the 4300 that I have an orange light flashes on the printer and you have to look in the book to see what it means. I do not get the popups on screen indicating the problem that I did in windows.

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.

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 We were very technological at Foster Yeoman in the late 80s... we crimped our RS232 plugs and sockets... the fact that you only put in the pins that you needed gave a useful visual clue to which end was which... 1,2,3,6,7 and 20 were the most common connections I recall, but sometimes a piece of hardware would need some other pins connected... not sure I ever used a paperclip to test a dumb terminal, mind you... 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... 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 :-) lol!! I still have a soldering iron somewhere, can't remember the last time I used it... do hardware shops still sell solder?

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

Not if you use IMAP rather than POP. Just to be clear both pop and imap can do both. By default POP allows you to download your mail and will remove it from the server as it is downloaded. _However_ you _can_ tell your email client to leave mail on the server rather than erase as you download. With IMAP by default you also leave the mail on the server, and as Chris says, download each mail on demand. _However_ with IMAP you can tell your email client to download the entire mail which means you have a copy of the mail cached locally. (This is what I do with evolution on 3 separate machines, so that I can access my mail locally on any one of them. Yes it means that my mail gets downloaded 3 times but I don't mind that).

Alan, Alan Pope wrote: By default POP allows you to download your mail and will remove it from the server as it is downloaded. _However_ you _can_ tell your email client to leave mail on the server rather than erase as you download. Thsi si true, but bear in mind that messages will be left in your inbox on the server. Some clients may also get confused about what has been read and what has not, so you may end up processing messages more than once if you connect from different locations. You also end up with different set sof messages on different clients, so it's not perfect. With IMAP by default you also leave the mail on the server, and as Chris says, download each mail on demand. _However_ with IMAP you can tell your email client to download the entire mail which means you have a copy of the mail cached locally. (This is what I do with evolution on 3 separate machines, so that I can access my mail locally on any one of them. Yes it means that my mail gets downloaded 3 times but I don't mind that). If you file messages away in different mailboxes/folders, then these too are stored on the server and not locally (unless cached). This means you get a consistent view of your complete set of mailboxes regardless of which client or where you connect from. Personally, I would avoid POP all together and go for IMAP every time.

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 :-) TTFN Dear All, This is sent via Hotmail, if you are having problems with messages you send not being correctly formatted in some Linux mail clients, you need to go to options (Top right) then More Options then Return to Windows cCassic.

This is indeed a problem, but not a totally impossible one to work around. There are a couple of tutorials online which are designed for debian based systems such as ubuntu. http://beans.seartipy.com/2006/05/06/update-or-install-applications-on-debianubuntu-without-an-internet-connection/ http://beans.seartipy.com/2006/11/03/simple-way-to-update-ubuntu-edgy-with-slowno-internet-connection/ You could use this method to generate a script which you put on a usb key or print out and take to the library. There is a slight flaw with those options. They assume you are using linux on the internet connected computer (in your case the library). This is unlikely to be the case, and as such you would need to look at the file generated (on your usb key) and manually grab the individual files onto the key. Messy but your options are limited.

Is it not possible to automatically parse the generate file to work out which files to fetch and them fetch them automatically? Would be good to have an app that can do that.

One of the things that I do like about MS is the fact that just about any PC auto-runs removable media by default. Granted this slows you down a bit if the USB drives are disabled, however a small piece of VBScript set to autorun on insertion of the pendrive that downloaded the debs to the USBStick then a bash script that installs them to the Linux PC would probably work.

Are you deliberately reading only the first line of all my mails? :) Saying it's human readble does not imply that I am assuming that wget is on the machines. Merely that if a file consists of a list of wgets then it is possible to pluck out the URLs. I never said that wget would be on the machine. One question though, if your machine has never been connected to the internet how is it going to have a list of packages from Multiverse/Universe? Feisty has multiverse and universe enabled by default, but yes, it would not have the list of packages, and certainly would not be up to date. Again, if you read the links I pasted you would see a section about this under additional notes. This could be done over dialup.

Have a look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and check that in the Device section the driver is set to via. Unfortunately your graphics card isn't very linux friendly. You can get a second hand nVidia card (GeForce 2 or above) cheaply on eBay. That might help your video problems. Your processor is 32bit.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] (no subject)
Okay, maybe the other program is best for you. You seem to like learning so I will explain how to use pico. In pico, it's just like gedit (Text Editor) that you used to copy and paste your xorg.conf a minute ago. To move around and alter text, just use the cursor keys, page up/down. To save a file, use Crtl-o, check the filename, and press enter. To exit the program, use Ctrl-x, if you are asked to save, press y or n depending on whether you want to save. To find some text, use Crtl-w, enter a search string, and press enter. To find out more, if you are interested, open a terminal session and type: man pico Most of the Linux terminal programs have a man page. Navigate with up, down, page up, page down, and press q to exit. Some might look complicated, but they might help in the future.

Arrow keys to scroll around, the things at the bottom are the commands. For example in the bottom left where it says ^X Exit it means press Ctrl + x to exit. Try changing the line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf that says Driver = vesa to Driver = via and restart your computer. Make sure you are familiar with nano/pico because if it fails it will drop you back to a command line and you will have to use one of these to change Driver = via back to Driver = vesa STONE COLD wrote: cool, so i did this...this is what i got?

Re: [ubuntu-uk] (no subject)
Have you looked at your local Linux User Groups? They can be found at http://www.lugs.org.uk, select Groups/List from the left side, and then your region from near the top of the page. I run a LUG for the region around me, but what you would benefit from is sitting down with a local and going through these things. I don't know what other LUGs are planning at the moment, but traditionally at a lug meeting things can be talked through, etc. Where abouts do you come from? We haven't had a meeting for a while. I work at a college and we have had registration, the new students, staff returning, a server migration, and to top it off - we got struck by lightning that stripped through around 50 network cards, many switches, killing them. (some etherkiller!) It is all so busy. I've starting neglecting my 70 servers by spending most my day fixing PCs, well, the Linux Servers ones don't need much attention :) We email each other and a lot of the members are in the same boat at work as well anyway :( Matthew On 10/10/06, STONE COLD [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ok im looking at Pico, mentions nano as replacing it! so what next?

You can reconfigure the X11 file using, if I remember the code right, sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg this takes you through a question and answer session that will write you a new xorg.conf at the end.

You could press alt+F2 to bring up the run command and then run gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to edit the file without toucing a terminal, but as I said before if it doesnt work then it will drop you back to a terminal and you will have to return the file to its original state manually using nano. xorg.conf is the configuration file for the X server which is what provides the graphical subsystem on Linux.

There will be people with skills in different areas of Linux and other OSes. There are many distributions of Linux, but generally they all follow the general theme. Are you able to come to the Linux World Expo in London on the 25/26th? It is held at Olympia, and will be a very good opportunity to meet like minded people, and hear some of the discussions.

Beware though, you can harm your Ubuntu installation by using programs under sudo! Matthew On 10/10/06, STONE COLD [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i presume that means changing the system file?
