Aug 23, 2010
Kogan put in the market last week (20/08/2010) in Australia a new e-book reader. As usual, it runs under gnu/Linux v. 2.6. However, when connected to Linux (Ubuntu 10.04, and Debian 5.5) it does not work. the result of lsusb is: (the device is the Netchip)
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

I'm trying out unity-2d on maverick. What I would like to do is switch off my AWN Dock in preference for Unity. Anybody have a recommendation for something similar to the Awn comic applet? I need my daily dose of Peanuts, Garfield & Dilbert!

Using openSUSE 11.3 (64-bit), KDE environment. I am very, very new and inexperienced with Linux... I would like to download and read some e-books using my desktop PC. I poked around the Internet with Google and found several recommendations for an e-book reader called Calibre. So I found it in the openSUSE repository and installed v. 0.6.53-3.3.1 using YaST2. But the darned thing does not seem to work -- I click on the icon and nothing happens!!

I'm a big book lover so I read a lot. On windows I used Alreader for it's incredible handyness & it had a smooth lite brown background color. So it was easier for my eyes to read books in rtf, txt & so on formats instead of the default white background which is very annoying. Can you please suggest me a software like that for linux?

I've recently purchased a Lenovo Ideapad z470, and installed Debian Wheezy amd64 on it first thing. I was pleased to find that almost everything worked "out of the box." The only problems were the hotkeys and the card reader. I don't care if the hotkeys ever work, but the non-working card reader is more aggravating than I anticipated. I would be most obliged if anyone could lend a hand.So, first things first, here's the output of uname -a:Linux cerulean 2.6.39-2-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 5 02:51:22 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/LinuxHere's the syslog output upon inserting an sd card into reader:

Can I mount a WD My Book World Edition NAS in Ubuntu 11 without extensive terminal work? The NAS has a static ip, it can be ping'd from Ubuntu, and my Windows machines access it just fine, no passwords required.I have not been able to find a way to make this work. Nothing against the terminal per se, it's just still a little too unfamiliar and I keep hitting error road blocks on this one.

I have openSUSE 11.2, 64 bits. I use Evince from the very beginning. Since a few weeks, when I want to open a .pdf file, Acrobat Reader appears and reads my file. It seems to have become the default reader now. However, I never wanted to change from Evince :this simple program is well enough for me. I tried various ways, but I can't define Evince as my default .pdf reader. How can I make Evince to become my default reader again please ?

Anybody recently succeded in installing GRUB2 on Mac OSX partitions? I have to compile in un Fedora/Ubuntu/Gentoo. It work, but once back in OS X, I get this error:
./grub-mkimage -d . -o grub.efi part_gpt hfsplus fat ext2 etx3 ext4 normal sh chain boot configfile linux -bash: ./grub-mkimage: cannot execute binary file
I tried to build it in Ubuntu 8.04, gentoo and Fedora Rawhide, all fail with the same error. Look like the binary compatiility between OSX and Linux is broken in Leopard. I would love to have a faster boot, it take half a minute to get to grub, using Grub2 with EFI would take 3 seconds. As I don't need bios emulation, Fedora would also run faster. Anybody have a compiled and working Grub2? Is there a better way to use Grub2 with EFI? A working one if possible
OSX: 10.5.8
Linux: Ubuntu 9.10
Mac: MacBook Pro Santa Rosa (3 years old with a Core 2 Duo 2.2ghz)
GCC: 4.2, 4.3, 4.4

I was just wondering if there is a remote address book program or if there is a way to sync abook and gmail (without any manual intervention like Contacts->Export->csv in Gmail).

I was gathering some screenshots to use in a tutorial on how to do something in Unity. For the most part that went well... however I did find an unfortunate quirk.When I Right-Click any of the items in the Unity Launcher panel, and they bring up the submenu (for example I did the modification to add Pics, Docs etc to my Home Folder in the Launcher) I then cannot do a screenshot using my "PrtSc" key on my netbook. This only happens when the submenus are visible. Unfortunate because I wanted to get a screen shot of the submenus.

I have a netbook (samsung nc-10) with the regular 9.10 desktop installed. The screen is 1024*600, and I have a computer monitor with a resolution of 1024*768.I want to have the external monitor right of my netbook-screen, and with the 1024*768 resolution, but the hight is limited to the hight of my netbook-screen, 800*600. If I use a different hight, both screens don't work.I know its possible with kde, but i want to have it with gnome.

Is it possible to view all of the entries in an LDAP Address book at one time (ie in the address book pane) of an email client? I've tried in both Thunderbird and Outlook 2003, and I get the same behavior - the mail client can auto-complete entries, but it can't seem to list the whole address book at once.
Is there a certain structure of the LDAP tree that will grant this support? Can it be done at all? It seems to me an 'address book' that can't be browsed as a whole isn't very effective...
I should add that I'm the one who set up the LDAP server - I'm just testing various capabilities of LDAP.

I'm on OpenOffice 3.2 and have read the OpenOffice help doc concerned with this but it refers to the Windoze version.This should make no difference but it seems to, in my case anyway.In the Win version I can see the option to import the Thunderbird address book although I can't actually get it to do it! No such option appears in the Linux version.In fact I seem to be missing a stack of drivers such as SDBC/ODBC etc. Mine is a stock Ubuntu 10.04 install. I added the Openoffice database element but other than that it's all standard.
I'm struggling to believe there isn't a relatively simple way to import an e-mail client address book and print some sticky labels in Ubuntu.

Recently when I open contacts in evolution the address books won't open, with following error :This address book cannot be opened. Please check that the path /home/david/.evolution/addressbook/local/system exists and that permissions are set to access it.I have checked folders and permissions seem ok. Doing a restore from backup makes no difference.

I suffered a permanent crash of WinXP. It won't boot and there's an incomprehensible error message.Anyway, I was able to recover almost all my data and move it over to Ubuntu 10.4 on the same computer. What I could not recover was my Outlook Address Book. I know it is funky to transfer it from one Windows email client to another, but transferring it across OS's seemed almost impossible, especially since I don't have Outlook's Export feature available. Even Google and other webmails needed to have those Outlook address files converted before they could use them.
What would be the plan of least resistance here for a Total Noob? Can I, should I, and how do I transfer the address book to a different computer with Outlook for export before transferring it back on the Linux side?

So, I have a 1.5 TB WD My Book that has been working fine since I got it. It has a 250GB WFBS partition and the remaining is NTFS. Worked in Windows, Ubuntu and Mac OS X as well as on my Wii.Now, none of my systems recognize it. Tried on two computers under Ubuntu and Windows. Tried on a third with Mac OS X. On one of the first two, tried Mac OS X via VirtualBox. My Wii will not recognize the WBFS either. Gparted will not recognize it (whether from a Live CD or full install). Disk Utility in the Mac sees it, but as a 2TB unallocated drive. The same for Disk Management in Windows 7. I need some of the stuff on there, plus I want my 1.5TB back forall other purposes. That was Ubuntu 10.10, OS X 10.6.6, Windows 7 and Wii 4.3U. [edit]So, marked as "Solved" but that is not exactly true. Ultimately, the drive was found to be a bust and I have Western Digital sending me a new one

I am currently working on an HP Pavilion dv2 Net Book. It had Windows Vista on it till they asked me to put Ubuntu Net Book Edition on it. The WiFi card in not being seen by the OS. I have no idea what the WiFi Cards manufacturer is. I have tried all I know to get it up and running but it is not working. It took me most of the day to get the Ubuntu OS put on it and I want to finish this up.

My address book recently got corrupted and I was unable to restore the e-mails, however looking at my abook.mab file I could see that all of the e-mail addresses were in there. I wrote a php script to create a new tab delimited text file, which you can import into Thunderbird. I used it to recover about 7300 contacts and it seems to work well for the most part. Just change 'abook.mab' to point to your actual corrupt abook.mab file or put it in the same directory as the script.

I installed Lucid and went to Ubuntu One from Me menu, clicked manage account, did not get a message to add the computer. After reading a few threads I deleted two Ubuntu One password tokens from the password and encryption keys in applications-accessories. I have not yet been able to get the Ubuntu One contacts in Evolution to work. It always says the address book does not exist. Additionally when I try to sync a file it says 'syncing' but just sits there on 0% doing nothing.
I have tried a fresh install and still have the same problems (I deleted the passwords again to allow me to add the computer). I have tried purging ubuntuone* and reinstalling after deleting the config directories, still no luck. I have tried adding another email address to the single sign on and tried logging in but again this did not work.
I do have another PC I am using now that can connect to Ubuntu One on a different user name and account (in other words nothing to do with the other computer), and I have noticed there is a password entry marked 'desktop couch user authentication' which I do not have on the other computer.

/media has 2 similar entries for my external hard drive after I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid. One reads "My Book" and the other "My Book_". "My Book" is owned by root and I can't access it. Unfortunately all my shortcuts and programs previously linked to this hard drive are complaining they don't have permission to access the drive (mediatomb and deluge, mostly).
How can I get rid of the extra "My Book_" and reclaim "My Book"?
