Re: [ubuntu-uk] e-books without Adobe Digital Editions

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 h

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Audio Conversion: WAV to WMA

Hi, Having to keep files in multiple formats for devices that didn't support free formats was a big pain for me. The only solution was to wait until the smallest excuse to get a portable audio player that supported FLAC and OGG. This has made my life much easier. I recommend an iAudio 7, not the

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Using a bluetooth headset

Hi, I've got no idea but a search for "ubuntu bluetooth audio" brought up a wiki page that may be useful. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothAudio There is a section halfway down on "High Quality" audio, which sounds to me what you want. Ciarán -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://li

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Evolution's compulsory GPG routine

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Free (Broken) LCD Screen

Thanks for the suggestion, however I've already bought a new monitor! Just to clarify, the monitor turns on, and there is an LED that responds to the DVI/VGA input, ie it changes colour when it goes to sleep mode, and changes back to green when you wiggle the mouse. So there is hope. Forgot to m

Hi, I had an LCD screen go on me. It's a 19" generic LCD that worked fine right up until it wouldn't display any images. It has DVI and VGA. I suspect the backlight has gone and may be an easy fix for someone. If you want it send me an email off list otherwise it will be taken to the tip in a fe
