I'm looking for a calendar/PIM that can run alone, let me create events/reminders, and maybe send emails out for chosen events. It doesn't need to remain on the desktop, but that would be ok. I looked at Lightning but I'm not always running T-bird. I liked Rainlendar but it won't send emails out.
View 2 RepliesI need a standalone calendar application for ubuntu lucid. I used Sunbird under karmic and LOVED it and the add-ons I could use with it (automatic export of calendars, among other things) but it's been discontinued. I don't want to use Lightning, because I want a standalone program that won't have too many dependencies. Chandler has also been discontinued, so that's not an option.
EDIT: Evolution doesn't work for me because I can't use it without an email address. Since I don't use my email through that package, that restriction makes the program useless to me.
I have been struggling to set up and learn to use an efficient way of task & event management. At the moment, I use Thunderbird+Lightning with Gmail (IMAP) and it works OK. I would like to add a smartphone to the equation - I know it isn't cheap and I'm expecting to pay anywhere between $100 and $500 for one - since my old phone is slowly dying anyway and I need this to work for... well, work. I would like to be able to synchronize through bluetooth or wireless at home or whenever the phone gets near my laptop, as well as (if possible) whenever the phone gets near a wireless access point. I don't want to use 3g or any similar services. I have had no luck googling so far.
I have tried synchronizing with Google Calendar, only to be disappointed by the fact that it doesn't support tasks. I think the distinction between tasks and events is an important one and it keeps my calendar organized, so I'd hate to have to give it up. I haven't chosen a phone yet, so I can adjust my choice to whichever brand or type (or OS) is best suited for what I need.
I have finally ripped my dvd collection to my external hard drive, and now I want to make fair use back ups of my discs (incase the worst happens and I lose my HD and my original disc) I remember there was a tutorial on these forums a while back but I can't seem to find it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI will be installing Ubuntu 11.04 aa a standalone on my 500 GB SATA HDD. I plan to have the following partitions:-
ROOT - 20 GB
BOOT - 50 GB
SWAP - 2 GB
HOME - Remaining space
Will this work properly? I will be downloading many addituonal softwares. Hence BOOT partition is 50 GB.
Predefinations: From here on in, I will refer to the "Windows Key" on the keyboard as the "Super Key" (Linux terminology)
Consider a user's experience in Windows:
* UseCaseA: Accessing the start menu --> "Super Key" open the menu.
* UseCaseB: Open the "run dialogue" --> "Super Key" + R
* UseCaseC: Open win explorer --> "Super Key" + E
* etc.
In GNOME/ubuntu however, apparently there is this odd limitation in that the "Super Key" cannot be both a standalone key, and a modifier key. Is it still the case? Currently running Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10. Apparently in KDE this works, and in Windows it's worked since Windows95. How can we achieve this functionality in Ubuntu/gnome?
Anyone know of presentation software that works with xfce?ad it with OpenOffice/LibreOffice because of gui issues, and the KDE suite has gui problems just like the previous ones. I'll search myself since I need one, and if I find something, I'll post back.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGuetting radio streams to work in ubuntu stand alone players wasnt so difficult after all: I just had too see the page source and locate the streaming address. That way I added some radios I was interested to rhythmbox. I also found websites that list lots of streaming addresses for Europe, Japan.TV seems to be different: so far I havent been able to do the same: Ideally, I could search for a streaming tv address in the source of the page with the embedded player, but no luck at all.
Im not talking about tv via a tvturner card, just tv streamings, like the BBC or this german one URL... type=null. The public german broadcaster allows me to watch their programms in their embedded player. Can I watch those programms in vlc or in other standalone players? Im also interested in the same for the bbc, cnn, aljazeera...
Is there a git client that doesn't require git to be installed? Every client I've found so far requires the binary "git" to be installed on your system and is simply a wrapper to that. Does anyone know of an actual standalone git client?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to make a small NFS server for a small LAN. Normally, I would build a dedicated cheap and cheerful linux box to do this. However, I was wondering if all of this could be done more easily using a commodity standalone device like e.g. "NetGear ReadyNAS Duo NAS". I presume devices like this run their own proprietary OSes, and I would prefer instead an opensource OS based device. I do like the look of these devices as they seem simple and small.
So my real question: What would linuxers advise for me given that I want a minimalistic NFS fileserver? I can make my own dedicated linux desktop machine. However, is a standalone device similar to the above, but running something like FreeNAS, also an option?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI use 'quoted' style for reply emails.

View 5 Replies View Relatedwe had a server with Hostway, and it was running ubuntu. The server also had Plesk installed, which did some funny things. We had several websites on that server, and many email addresses. Then we changed servers. Now we have a server through Rackspace and it is also running Ubuntu. It also has Virtualmin installed, which generally does not impose as many unconventional changes on Ubuntu as Plesk did.
Rather than using Thunderbird to download my email (which is what I used to do) I've decided I'll start reading my email on the server. So I will ssh to the server and then use some email client, such as Alpine, to read the email. So I installed Alpine. I have an email account for "lawrence". The email address is lawrence @ krubner. Currently, when mail arrives for that account, it is stored here:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/new
and then it is transferred to hear:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/cur
When I start Alpine, while logged in as lawrence, Alpine automatically sets up an inbox for me here:
/home/lawrence/mail/
How do I get Alpine (or any other client) to read from the correct folder? I'm fairly sure the email package (the MTA) at work on this new server is Postfix. As near as I can tell, my email is held for 24 hours in this folder:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/new
and then it gets transferred here:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/cur
Alpine only lets me set one path for my Inbox, so I'm not sure what path I should set. If I use "cur" I will see all email 1 day late, but if I use "new" then I will miss email if I go a day without checking.
I'm using fc14, and put the /boot directory on a standalone partition. Now, there's something changed in MBR, and the grub has been overwrote, now I wants to fix the grub by another bootable usb-disk with grub, to use 'setup (hd1)' to fix it. but the situation cause the /boot has nothing and the partition contain essential files does not under the directory 'boot'. then setup failed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI did a basic U9.10 server install of postfix with the minimal config. Added a test user and things worked after a few minutes. I now want to setup a few new things and want to switch to use mysql as the back-end. I have mysql installed, setup postfix.admin which in turn setup the database/tables. Now when I logged in to that admin, the original test user is not there (which is fine), but I created the test domain again, created a user and an outside test failed saying user unknown.
Now I looked through the main.cf page and don't see anything obvious to say hey, put backend is mysql, here is the info. I then noticed via apt that postfix-mysql was not installed, so installed that, I see my .cf was backed up, but still don't see anywhere to connect the 2. So currently mail is still accepted from the test1 user running local. I don't mind wiping everyhing, but is there a simple place to just make a change or 2?
Is there a way to configure exim4 to bcc all new incoming emails to another email address? My boss wants a copy of all outgoing emails.
I know postfix can do this with a bcc_always option. Im sure exim4 should be able to also.
Doing some research I was leaning towards buying an inexpensive laptop and either install linux or buy one already installed (maybe Debian or Ubunutu). The uses for this laptop would be for developing linux device drivers and having the option to control the OS for any customized applications which I could develop. Didn't want to go the dual boot with Windows approach.
