As you all know, one of the new features in 10.04 is the mail icon in the top right corner, through which you can access Empathy, Gwibber and Evolution. Is there a way to integrate Thunderbird into this menu, so that it can be accessed quicker and that there is a notification coming up when a new mail is received like it is the case with evolution?
Is there a way of setting up my thunderbird client into the email icon defaulted to evolution shown on the panel in the top right? If not is there a way of getting rid of it without removing my volume or battery icons?
I currently use mail-notification to alert me to new email, it sits in the system tray. When a new mail comes in it alerts me as such. I DO NOT have to have thunderbird open or running to be notified. I want to replace mail-notification with indicator messages. I want the same functionality that I got with mail-notification. That is, to have an icon sitting in the notification area that alerts me when new mail arrives. I do not want to have thunderbird open for this to occur.
I have lib-notify installed. I have the notify add-on installed in thunderbird, I have indicator-messages installed. I have thunderbird.desktop in /usr/share/applications I have a file called thunderbird that has one line which is the path to the desktop file above in /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/ With this when i click on the icon in the notification area i DO see the listing for thunderbird, but the icon is not correct, it has a black bacground with a red circle in it with a slash. When i click on this item thunderbird launches. I do not recieve notificaion messages (i.e the letter icon does not turn green) unless i open thunderbird and check for messages manually. This defeats the purpose of having a notification in the system tray. Additionally changes made to /usr/share/applicatons/thunderbird.desktop are not reflected in the indicator.
I want the mail icon (indicator applet) in the panel to open thunderbird when I click mail, and when I click "new message" that tbird message opens. I've already got the notification going, and I have removed evolution.
Thanks to Lucid not working properly on i845, i855 and other 8xx chips, had to re-install Karmic on my mum's computer.I saved all the data from her old install and I ve managed to get all her old emails from thunderbird, but I cant import her address book.In Thunderbird/tools/import/addressbooks it only allows importing of LDIF, .tab, .csv and .txt files, but I cant find any of these files in any of the Thunderbird, .Thunderbird, Mozilla-Thunderbird or Mozilla folders in Home folder or anywhere, all I can find is "abook.mab" which IS supposed to be her address book, but when I try and import it the entries are blank and/or indecipherable (prob cos not a compatible file type).
Its one of those "simple" things to do, thats taken hours and hours of time, but that I cant actually find out how to do.
I had a portable apps version of Thunderbird (windows) that runs off a thumb drive and wanted to take the settings and transfer them to my Thunderbird that's on my Linux computer.
This is what I did:
First, I installed thunderbird on my Ubuntu 10.04 Linux box and opened it, and closed it (so that it would create the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder in the user account).
Then, I renamed the linux /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder to .thunderbird_ORIGINAL
Then, I created a new /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder
Then, I took the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableDataprofile folder and copied it to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
Then, I looked into the /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL folder and wrote down the name of the folder with the ".default" extension.
Then, I renamed the profile folder (that came from the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableData folder) "<name-I-wrote-down>.default".
And then, I copied the profiles.ini folder from /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
I opened up Thunderbird in Linux and everything seems fine! (I'll definitely be keeping a backup just in case)
My question is: is this fine and dandy, or a recipe for disaster?
Does anyone knows anyway to integrate Sunbird with Ubuntu 10.04? i'm not looking for integration of Sunbird with Thunderbird. that's accomplished with Lightning... What i for is something like an alert when i have an event or even integration with the time/calendar Ubuntu standard application.
other thing is: I installed Sunbird well not realy it's a standalone How can i add it the lists of known applications? like when i type Firefox in terminal Firefox pops up.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.I installed KDE 4.4 and removed Gnome.I want Firefox to integrate properly in KDE.I installed this Firefox themeand followed the instructions at the bottom of that page to get a KDE style file picker.I also installed the Plasma Notify extension.My problem is that if I download a file and right-click>open containing folder in Firefox's download window the containing folder does not appear, but instead a window appears asking me to choose an applicationWhen I was using Firefox with Gnome doing this opened Nautilus with the directory containing the downloaded file.I tried to fix this by choosing Dolphin in the Choose Application window
OS: Ubuntu 7.04 (before you tell me to upgrade to a newer release, my computer does not support any later release- If I cannot learn on 7.04, I cannot learn the same on a newer release)Computer: P3 800mz, ram 512mb My firefox browser upgraded itself (of course I did agree when I was told by it that I should upgrade).The problem is that I have to install JRE as there are no graphics available. It has to be a manual install.I downloaded JRE6u23 (that is what it says when mouse hovers over it) and proceeded to fix or integrate it with firefox or the os (whichever way it can be integrated) As instructed by the jre site, I gave the command 'chmod'; the result is below:
yashpal@yashpal-desktop:~$ sudo su Password: root@yashpal-desktop:/home/yashpal# chmod a+x jre-6u23-linuxi586.bin chmod: cannot access `jre-6u23-linuxi586.bin': No such file or directory
I downloaded the new Opera, everything looks quite nice and everything. Now, quick question, is it possible to integrate it with bespin's xbar? I have seen a few post in blogs around the interwebz claiming this can be done.
I am running a dual boot system under ubuntu and Vista on my laptop. Many months ago the Windows partition crashed completely so half of my computer is practically dead. I would like to erase Vista and integrate their partition in the Ubuntu one. The best case scenario would be if I could just merge the two partitions into one and just have one large Ubuntu partition. If this is not possible, could I create a second hard drive within the linux partition?
I would just erase everything and reformat the whole hard disk to run under Ubuntu, but unfortunately I need my computer on a daily basis for work and I have installed so many programs that it would be really painstaking to reinstall them all from scratch... I am not so skilled with informatics, and I'm really scared of losing data, so if anyone could spend some time for a step-by-step solution description I'd be really grateful! Or, of course, eventually write a link where the problem is treated. I am running under Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.
I've found that lightweight download manager called Tucan, it seems looks good but I can't decide that yet because I can't integrate it with my browser Firefox 4 is there any way to do it? I've tried to add it manually to flashgot add-on of FF but I couldn't find the executable file of tucan
Is there any way to integrate LDAP with DNS? What I mean is if there is any way to ask an LDAP server with the standard LDAP API and the LDAP server reverts to a DNS server if the requested information is not present in the database.
I run version 10.04 GNOME. My problem is (after substantial searching) that I need to have both users ('juliusz' and 'sarah') running Thunderbird but with the same profile (settings, email, accounts etc. preferably of 'juliusz'). The only results on the internet are share Thunderbird between Windows and Ubuntu.
I have two users juliusz and sarah. I need either of them to have the same profile, always in synch whenever they logon to own account. When I tried to edit sarah's /home/sarah/.mozilla-thunderbird/profile.ini by inserting: Path=/home/juliusz/.mozilla-thunderbird/xxxxxxx.default after i run Thunderbird for 'sarah' I get message: "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system." I checked with "ps aux" there is no Thunderbird running in sarah's session. There is no Thunderbird running in juliusz's session when I reloged to juliusz.
What I'm trying to do seems pretty straight forward but I can't seem to find any documentation on this searching the "internets" but I think I'm getting mixed in with all the other proxy documentation.
What I'm trying to do is basically replicate the proxy settings from a desktop machine to a server machine. I have Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop running fine on a corporate network using the Automatic Proxy Configuration option and supplying the appropriate URL that I pulled for a corporate issued windows machine. I would like to do this on Ubuntu server 10.04 as well.
What I've got so far is coping out the proxy information from the .pac file and setting the http proxy value directly but I want to follow the URL so that the system follows any changes that come down the road. how to integrate a .pac (Proxy auto-config) url into ubuntu server?
I have a relatively new laptop that is too dumb to recognize a usb flash drive in the bios. So I cannot boot from it by the bios. I have a Debian install on that laptop with grub 2. So I figure, grub 2 should be powerful enough to have it's own drivers for usb storage so it can directly access the usb drive without having to get help from the bios. How is this done?
How can I integrate usb support into grub 2? Is there a module I can load? I have an ubuntu on the memorystick, so it has it's own grub bootloader, so I would probably do a chainboot if I am not mistaken. Or does anybody know of a initrd that will give control to another bootloader on a device? Initrd should surely have all support for hardware.
I installed Fedora and my existing boot up menu (Ubuntu & XP) disappeared leaving only Fedora. Using my Super Grub cd (boot trouble shooting cd) I recovered my previous boot system but it left me without the Fedora option. My question is, how can I integrate Fedora into my existing menu?
