I'm trying to get goobook to work in Karmic, but I can't get the correct dependencies/python modules installed. I've installed python-gdata, which I thought was all I needed. However, goobook still comes back with:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/chiraag/scripts/goobook.py", line 37, in <module>
from gdata.contacts.client import ContactsClient, ContactsQuery
ImportError: No module named client

I have been using the information provided here: [URL] to fix some issues after installation of Karmic 64-bit on a MBP 5,5. The solutions for wireless and sound work, but not together - one seems to break the other. Here is what I did:
1. Followed directions for fixing wireless here: [URL] (AirPort) This works fine.
2. Followed directions for fixing sound, which seems to update the kernel, here: [URL] Sound This also works, but then wireless does not work.
If I boot into the older kernel version, I have wireless again, but no sound. If I boot into the newer kernel and try to use the wireless solution above its says I already have that package installed - yet no go with wireless.
I'm having a problem getting the apple remote on my Macbook 2,1 to work with Karmic and am looking for a little advice. I have followed the guide here [URl] and utilised the extended .lircrc in the first post of this thread [URL]linked to by the guide however I cannot get any action from my remote (it does work in OSX).
The problem, I believe, lies in where Gnome needs to start irexec and irxevent. Running irexrc -d from a terminal gives no output but I can also not find a process running after launch.Running irxevent -d returns 'irxevent: could not connect to socket irxevent: No such file or directory'I have also installed gnome-lirc-properties which (until a recent reboot) reported that there was no IR daemon running.
My Xv doesn't work in Karmic. When I use Jaunty it works well. How can I turn it on

I recently migrated my system to Karmic 9.10 from Hardy 8.04 Now that I want to convert some .avi videos to H.264 in Kino for upload, it doesn't work. In Hardy all was fine, I'd import the .avi files and export to h.264 mp4, then upload to ..... etc ... no problems. But with karmic; after I import the file into Kino, I then trim out the bits I don't want. Next I go to Export and select H.264 MP4 Single Pass (ffmpeg), then click the Export button; it 'locks the audio' and that's it - takes 5 seconds to 'finish' no matter how long the video clip is, and no mp4 file is generated or appears in the selected folder (same result with H.264 MP4 Dual Pass).

I added a repo from launchpad to install latest Network Manager and then installed it (version 0.8). Then I decided to rollback to Karmic's version (since 0.8 doesn't work) but failed: I removed the repo from sources.list
Then apt-get udpate
Then apt-get clean
Then apt-get install network-manager...
But still 0.8 version is downloaded and installed! How can I restore Karmic's version?
What's the right direction or give me step by step on how to do this?

Is there a 64 bit Karmic and where can I download it. I've been looking all over and getting half answers.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHas anyone gotten Kshowmail to work with karmic 9.10? I had it working back with 8.04 after a lot of effort and a great deal of help from another source (which involved installing kmail and kdesk also to fix dependencies), but I cannot seem to come up with any scheme that will work with 9.10. It "seems" to work if I get the .deb package from sourceforge, but when I open it and put an identity in it, it fails to work and gives me a message about not being able to recognize "pop", or something like that, despite the fact that thunderbird is certainly using pop for downloading . . .

Is there anything in Karmic that would get something to run at shutdown?I have a US Robotics 56K message modem ( USR5668 ) which receives faxes during the day, and has to switch to answer machine / fax at night. It has a memory when the computer is switched off - which is handy, and all the phones switch over to the message modem extension automatically.All I want is to do is send the command AT+MCA=1 to the serial port ttyS0 at shutdown.
Any sportster owners might say that this goes to answer machine only, so if they want to tell me the correct string for answer/fax please feel free.I do have vm installed (or whatever vgetty calls it),
I just set up a new karmic server, and the hostname is being set properly, but I'm not exactly sure how, since there is no longer an init script that sets it (it used to be /etc/init.d/hostname.sh on my older servers). Now I'm curious: what is the new mechanism by which the server's hostname is set at boot time?

Been several hours trying everything up to and including blueman. Things SEEM to be working, but try to browse files on my Nokia phone I still get
Could not display "obex://[00:1F:5D:33:2C:BD]/".
Error: Connection to the device lost
Please select another viewer and try again.
Not sure how to try to connect, phone sees computer and vice versa, but can't get a connection. The phone asks if I want to accept the connection, I press accept, the window comes back with Connection Failed: Network Manager Failed to activate the connection. If I try a serial connection it says Port already in use. I don't actually know what that means.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the newest build for LyX properly (ie not from building it myself) for Karmic. I do
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade lyx , but it doesn't pick up the 1.6.5 (although it looks like it is prepared to ship out with Lucid. Any ideas on how to get it to just work? It's these minor problems with Ubuntu being slow to upgrade to the newest builds of software (ie Firefox 3.6) that makes it a little bit frustrating. Maybe I should learn to program so I can help out more...
I gave away both of my copies of Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala to friends to turn them onto the Power of the Penguin. Now here I sit with a fresh install of 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx and I still have problems. They're different problems then when I did the upgrade through Update Manager, but problems non the less.
Is there any place where I can get a clean download of 9.10 Karmic Koala? I just need to reassure myself that I'm not crazy and that it is not my machine causing the problems.
Here's what the update manager tells me:Quote:

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis issue happens on both my Dell D630 and my homebuilt desktop, so I'm pretty sure that its not a hardware issue. Both installs are clean new installs with encrypted home directories. Computers go to sleep just fine but when I wake them, karmic is unresponsive and stuck in IO wait for the majority of the time. How can I gather enough information to submit a useful bug report?

View 4 Replies View RelatedLast night I booted up and got the black screen, and it would not boot. Can't find your /etc/home/fstab file or something along those lines I did not write it down. I got out my thumb drive and reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10, when I got to the partition phase I did a manual install and instructed Ubuntu to load onto /dev/sda1 /. I had previously partitioned this 160Gb drive with 41 Gb for root and 113 for my /home files and left 6.2 for Swap. Now it sees my second partition as 119 /dev/sda2 extended and Unrecognized. Unfortunately all my files are on that partition and I can't figure out how to tell Ubuntu to configure that partition as my /home . I really do not want to re-install and wipe that partition. Can gparted fix this dilemma? I thought I was being so good by creating a boot partition so that I could upgrade in the future without affecting the rest of my files.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed Windows 7 onto the unallocated 150GB space on my 250 GB hard drive with no trouble. But, when I restart my computer it goes directly to Windows and pretends that I have no Ubuntu partition at all. I realize that this is because Windows doesn't like GRUB and really hates GRUB2, but I can't seem to fix this. I downloaded the latest release of Easy BCD which gave me a promising screen upon start up where it allows me to select "Ubuntu" instead of "Windows 7" but then it goes to a GRUB command screen. What do I do here?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to install karmic from a usb key onto a new zotac ion 300 itx-A board and can't get into the liveCD to test things out. The system boots to the install menu and when I select "Try Ubuntu..." the system hangs on a blinking cursor. This also happens if I choose the "safe graphics" mode.
Selecting "Install Ubuntu" has the same result. I recently used the same usb key to install karmic onto my laptop so I know it works. Searching for "karmic zotac ion" has led me to some posts about xorg not loading but that's after the initial install process and also on an alpha version of Karmic (I'll burn that bridge when i get to it). Others seem to have had no problem getting karmic installed.
I've also tried mythbuntu and 64-bit jaunty with the same results. Is there any way I can find out what's causing this hang? I can't get into a console or anything.
Is there an all inclusion Ubuntu deb like to N/U?
