Ubuntu :: Glabels Glitch - Can't Get To Merge The New Contact List
Nov 23, 2010
I'm running 10.10. I'm trying to generate a set of labels for a new contacts list in evolution. Problem is I can't get glabels to merge the new contact list, even though it is selected as default in evolution. When I select Objects, Merge properties, and format "data from default evolution addressbook", it always imports the contacts list which was the original default, even though I have changed the default. I have reinstalled glabels, but problem remains. Seems like a simple issue, but its driving me mad.
I've always used empathy as an MSN client and everything has always worked fine. Since a week ago (or something more) my on-line contact list has become empty, all of my contacts are marked as off-line. I checked at meboo and I had a lot of on-line contacts, so it must be an empathy issue. I wouldn't want to change messaging client, I like the way empathy integrates the gnome desktop.
I'm sure I'm not the first to have encountered a problem with synaptic when I tried to load it up to install a new bit of software (in this instance help screens for OO).However when I did I got the following error message E: Encountered a section with no Package: headerE: Problem withMergeListvar/lib/apt/lists/mirror.ox.ac.uk_sites_archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_di sts_jaunty_restricted_binary-i386_PackagesE: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
When I opened the file that had the apparent prolem < var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.ox.ac.uk_sites_archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty_restricted_binary-i386_Packages > it transpired it actually contained the html page for the router ?? which seemed wierd to me.However I have recently I changed to a new ISPSo after a bit of a search, nothing explicity had my problem, and I was a bit stumped. Then I suddenly had a thought, after reading someone else how did something similar.... I then did the following....
I think the logic is correct, maybe just some details.
Now my question is 1) Can I simply merge node1 and 2 without sorting? Like node_list1.merge(node_list2); 2) If not, how can I copy list1 and 2 into list3?
I used Kubuntu with KDE 4.5.1 up to August, when I switched to Debian Squeeze with KDE (currently frozen at 4.4.5). Before migrating, I used rsync (luckbackup) to backup the whole Home directory. Kontact version used on Debian is now 4.4.6. While I could use the import feature successfully to retrieve all my e-mail messages by pointing it to ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/, I couldn't find a way to do the same with contacts.
I don't have backups of my old ~/.local/share/contacts, the folder simply doesn't exist. However, I have ~/.local/share/akonadi. I never used Akonadi Tray Icon to create a backup. In KAddressBook, I have Personal Contacts, which is empty. While waiting for a solution, I filled Default Address Book with some contacts' e-mail addresses retrieved manually from archived past e-mails.
In ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc I have the following:
1) a folder named lock, containing a text file named _home_lelamal_.kde_share_apps_kabc_std.vcf4g7TNh8g and another called _home_lelamal_.kde_share_apps_kabc_std.vcfXASyTlNE. If opened, they show 1372 kontact, and 1629 korgac respectively.
2) A file named std.vcf of 0B size.
3) 8 files, numbered progressively, named "std.vcf__ std.vcf__7, all of which are also of 0B size.
I tried renaming the old /kabc to /kabc.old (in case it got modified in the process) and used a copy of it as a target for Default Address Book in KDE Resources, whose path was changed to point to it. Nothing changed, when I reopened KaddressBook there were still only the new contacts I manually created.
Akonadi Configuration shows Personal Contacts, and it correctly points to ~/.local/share/contacts/, but if the folder isn't there I'm not sure what it's pointing to. I also have a Default Address Book, and when I click on Modify, instead of showing a path like Personal Contacts did, it shows a blank field. When I click on Open File Dialog, it expects me to point it to a vCard Address Book File.
If I'm back to KAddressBook, and open the Personal Contacts addressbook to import the the only vCard I am aware of (the 0B sized std.vcf file in /kabc) nothing happens, it remains empty.
I am using ffmpeg for merge wav files to a mov video. My doing is below
1. First extract audio (wav file) from video 2. Create wav file from mp3 track 1 3. Create wav file from mp3 track 2 4 Merge extract audio from video with track 1 and track2. Now finally create a new video with original video's video stream and merged audio stream.
Process is working. However final video is 3-4 times greater than original one. I want that final video should be near about size of original video. As I understand, all three wav files (created from ) make video larger.
I have downloaded GLABELS and noticed that when it was time to save, it will not allow you to save it as a pdf or anyone other format. Is there any tool or trick to do what I need to do?
For some reason randomly my task bar messes up for some reason. Im not sure if many other people have this. but ill provide a picture so you can see it. Some times its even worse, like i get a double account name and double of everything else.
I've been using BasKet Notepad for about two years now on a Dellbuntu Mini-9. I just installed Mint8 Xfce and finished installing all my preferred apps this morning, including Basket. Unfortunately, when I tried to import my archive from the old system (saved on a thumb), it fails to recognize it as an archive file. At first I thought it might be linked ot its apparent inability to recognize the thumb drive, so I transferred the file to the SSD, extracted it, etc. All the files are there, it seems, but the individual baskets are all saved as .html files. There doesn't seem to be any "archive" as such that I can import.
Now the weird thing is that I've imported the archive before, back into Basket on the dellbuntu version of 8.04, without any problem. What gives? This is my research. For my dissertation. While I'm heartened that it still exists, I am more than a little annoyed at the notion that I might have to cut and paste every damn basket into the system (which I've already done once when I tried to put the notes on my home desktop XP system. I am returning to the field in five weeks and really want these things accessible. Is there any help for this?
it usually happens when i use firefox (does not happen with other browsers like opera or chrome) to visit, for example, videos. where it should be pitch black, screwed up parts of the video or another multimedia program (such as second life) show up. it has happened on white colors as well. here are some shots. i did not take them using print screen since, strangely, print screen does not seem to capture this glitch. i am using ubuntu 10.10 on a 1 gb nvidia 9500gt.
I've been having trouble trying to install ubuntu (and mint linux too) - I have the same problem with either version.
It's an Acer T180 tower PC, when I come to install it'll go through the motions of setting up the drive, copying files and then downloading/installing language packs. Randomly though between copying files and downloading/installing language packs it will just sit there and freeze. Sometimes it will just freeze and stay on the same image, other times it will freeze and what's best described as a window blinds effect will go across the whole screen. Either way the PC stops responding.
I've tried multiple downloads of iso files (ubuntu and then mint) - running on usb and also running from cd and dvd - same issue each time. I've made sure that the username is lowercase too (just in case).
The other thing I've tried is removing the separate nvidia graphics card and using just the internal one (again an nvidia card). Ubuntu will prompt that there are restricted drivers available - doesn't matter whether I install them or not - it still freezes just the same.
I am using a Dell Inspiron Laptop 1464. I have Ubuntu 11.04 Installed, and every time I have the volume at MAX and especially when I'm listening to music that has like high bit-rate (342) or what ever, there is a glitch in the sound, it sounds like when a CD skips or when it is scratched. I tried installing all types of different mp3 encoders and still the same.
Also it is the same when I use Banshee or Rhythumbox.
While pretty, in a plaid way, my System Monitor screen is less than helpful. This started after I upgraded to 9.10 and applied more recent updates. From what I've read, the glitch is Radeon based. I have a Radeon 7000 card which itself has 32mb of ram, but I told my computer a couple years ago to think it had 128. I've tried the suggested short term fix in the linked thread (change the driver in /etc/X11/xorg.con to "vesa") but it didn't work.
I have two related requests: What can I try to solve the System Monitor glitch? How do I reset my settings back to knowing my video card's real capacity?
I upgraded the UNR from 10.04 (which worked ok) to 10.10. Now, if I log in with the UNR session I get a weird graphics glitch (see attached screenshots). The panels are transparent and all the icons are invisible, though drop-menus seem to work (see: Unity02.jpg). Also, the side panel is transparent and does not display any icons (see: Unity01.jpg)

I recently installed Ubuntu Karmic Koala onto my old IBM Thinkpad (I THINK it's an X23 model, but don't quote me on it). The only reason I went with the older, obsolete version is, honestly, it's the only one that will run on it. That said, I love it and see no reason to go back to Lose-dows full time (I'll still get a Windows machine in order to learn the inner workings of it... thinking of going back to school for a tech job, so the knowledge will do me good).When I bring up various windows (most disturbingly, my system monitor), I get a bizarre glitch. It's hard to describe, so I'll give a screencap.
When KDE starts up a new session, it restores the progs that were running at log out last time.I am running skype and that prog is brought back but I suspect that KDE is restarting the "bin" (skype-bin) rather than the startup script (skpe) which contains the necessary "LD_PRELOAD" stuff essential to get the webcam operating OK.I can't find where KDE stores the session info, any ideas?
I have an Eee PC 1005 dual-booting Windows 7 and openSUSE 11.3. Everything is nice and polished except for one thing.The first tweak I made to the system was the kernel parameter "acpi=Linux" which made the Fn keys work. Then I installed eee-control from the openSUSE Build Service, which worked very well (I was getting a bit frustrated; the source would build and install, but eee-control-daemon would immediately die. Anyway.).
My problem is that when I press the Fn-F2 combo to disable wifi, all mention of wifi completely vanishes from the tray applet. Even when I press Fn-F2 again to turn the radio back on (and the light does cycle like it does in Windows), it is gone. I need to reboot with the radio on, then it works perfectly again, until I press Fn-F2 again.
I just encountered an odd network stack glitch and wondered if anyone has seen this before, or knows what could cause it. When I connect to services on localhost (127.0.0.1) if there is a process listening, it works OK as expected. there is no process listening, I should get a NAK and see a connection refused message.With this glitch, that was not happening. And this was with 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1. Nothing was listening, but the SYN attempts were all that were happening. If there was something listening that worked OK. Connections to other hosts worked as expected.
I'd have said SNAFU, but the truth is that I really don't recall this mess being "normal" in Slackware since v7. This kind of mess is what I expect from Ubuntu, not Slack. Here's what happened. I was running Slackware-Current 12/10/10 and wanted to move up to Current 1/10/11. I read and followed the UPGRADE.txt including running "telinit 1". The system had 2 working kernels menued in Lilo, a custom 2.6.35.10 symlinked to "/boot/vmlinuz", and a custom 2.6.36 fully declared in lilo.conf and labelled Current.
The "upgradepkg --install-new" installed a "new" kernel which would only have required a simple deletion, but somehow and for some silly reason my lilo.conf was overwritten and lilo run so that when I selected "Current" instead of my nice 2.6.36, long story short, I got a badly working kernel where my keyboard didn't work.
Why would "upgradepckg --install-new" install an older kernel, and more importantly, instead of merely as an added option, override and ruin my existing, working lilo? Slax is overhauling to add pacman and I see some people even here leaning toward more automated package management in Slackware. What gives? Is Slackware headed down this path? Please, Joe, just tell me it ain't so.
I am running Ubuntu 9.10. When I open my system monitor I get a fuzzy box full of jumbled patterns and colors. Also internet and music notifications in the upper right hand portion of the screen appear in the same way. I am attaching a screenshot of the problem.
You know that glitch where your monitor doesn't come back after switching off for power saving? That's gotten WAY worse since switching to Lucid. It used to happen every other day or so, now it happens 2-3 times a day. Songbird used to keep it from switching off on Karmic, but Songbird doesn't work on Lucid so that's out the window.
Also: as similar error happened when restarting after the glitch happened this latest time. Ubuntu started running its routine disk check and I hit C to skip it. The screen went down like it does in the Monitor Sleep glitch. I reset again, it did it again. Eventually, I just let it do the check. This has NEVER happened before.
I'm running Lucid 10.04, kernel 2.6.32-26, 64-bit, Intel 3400 series chipset. Whenever I run Hedgewars and The Mana World, the volume fluctuates really fast, and the sound applet flashes. Then the mouse pointer freezes up for a second, then moves really slowly. Once I quit the game, everything returns to normal. I've tried disabling desktop effects, changing game settings,
Im trying to install Ubuntu, here are my problems and the solutions ive tried: I've downloaded 10.10 in 64 bit and 32 bit. I've also tried with 10.4.1 LTS.I've tried burning it to a disc and i've tried making a bootable USB. (I ran out of dvds so im only trying from usb now).I load from the disc/USB and ill get the menu asking if i want to try ubuntu, install ubuntu, check for errors etc..... I choose try ubuntu and ill get the UBUNTU logo with the loading dots undernieth.The screen then glitches and theres multicolor lines frozen accross the monitor. Stuck that way until i restart.This also happens when i try to install it to the harddrive.It happens on both versions in both 64 and 32 bit. I checked the disc and all files are present.I've had ubuntu installed over a year ago.
I've been having this glitch since Maverick. I hoped installing Narwhal would solve it (clearly not), I like Ubuntu, but this makes the OS frustrating and pretty much unusable, forcing me to stick with Windows.
The glitch appears randomly but mostly within 5-10 minutes after booting.
Another thing : when you want to screenshot the glitch, it usually gives you a perfect image, with everything OK. I have no idea why it worked now. I have a Packard Bell Dot M Netbook.
I've tried for months, to install a version Fedora where there could not exist any glitch with the graphic card, but without a solution. I recently have taken the path of linux systems, so I'm kinda new with this problem and don't know what to do ! The glitch make some horizontal lines dancing in screen, or can't even read anything. Here you have the spec : [URL]
Every time something is shown on top of a video, this happens:When the "Playing" label disappears, the video returns to normal. I have the same issue when I'm doing video chat over Skype. How can I fix this?
I tried installing a wallpaper and it said that I would have to open up a web browser to view it, but when I did it launched over and over again, and I couldn't even properly shutdown, I had to hold down the power button. But it seems fine now, but from now on I'm avoiding downloading Wall Paper that requires you to use a web browser to view and download.
So I've upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze, which has been a tadge more interesting than I would like, but there it is. But I've got one problem that is eluding me still. When I load up, but before login, my second monitor displays what I can only describe as a glitched-up memory of something it was displaying before, unless it has been turned off and turned back on again (as opposed to restarted), in which case it displays a very bizarre tiled image. I can't help but feel this is something obvious I've missed.
