  2. Practical Posting Guidelines

    in Command Line, Kernel and Programming

    Posted

    To help you best when you ask a question on the MUB we need a minimum amount of relevant information and you need to have done some things yourself. That's why I've made a small list of things to check when you open a new topic on Mandrakeusers.org. It's just a first try so if you want to give any input on these items, or maybe want to add something, feel free to reply.

     

    Practical posting guidelines:

     

    1: Use the search function to check if your question has been answered in an earlier post.

     

    2: Post your problem in the correct sub-forum

     

    3: Use a clear topic-title and, if you use Mandrake, tell us what version you're using. Example: Mandrake XX - No sound after configuring Audigy 2 ZS.

     

    4: Always tell what you have tried yourself and what tools you have used.

     

    5: Describe your problem coherently.

     

    6: Do not ask the same question twice

     

    7: If you problem is solved, edit your post and add the word [solved] to the topic title.

     

    8: If people help you, say thankyou. Don't just leave the thread.

     

    9 If you solve a problem, say how you did it, rather than just saying it's now solved. Then other people with the same problem can find the solution.

    Gdesklets can make wonders ;)

     

    When making a desktop, try to find stuff that fits nicely together (color, shape and background). The theme I tried to go after is 'Future' 'cloning' and 'sterile'. And a nice detail is the song running on the xmms that's called 'Bigger Harder Faster Stronger' by Daft Punk. The same thing I did with the October contest.

  15. Gnome 2.8 question

    in Art And Design

    Posted

    Okay I got an answer from skynnyr at the Gnome forum:

     

    One way to achieve this would be to change the icon properties. Replace the names with the space character. The name of the "Computer" icon can be changed by editing the /apps/nautilus/desktop/computer_icon_name key with gconf-editor. If the key doesn't exist, create it.

     

    Seems to work :)

    I'm back! Ubuntu rocks! But i can't get Ragnarok Online workng :( but that's not Ubuntu's fault. Someone said Ubuntu final was out, but i find no information about it on the site.

     

    Got this E-mail about Ubuntu final release:

     

    Wed, 20 Oct 2004 18:15:19 +0200

     

    === Announcing Ubuntu 4.10 "The Warty Warthog Release" ===

     

    The warm-hearted Warthogs of the Warty Team are proud to present the

    very first release of Ubuntu!

     

    Ubuntu is a new Linux distribution that brings together the extraordinary

    breadth of Debian with a fast and easy install, regular releases (every

    six months), a tight selection of excellent packages installed by default

    and a commitment to security updates with 18 months of security and

    technical support for every release.

     

    You get a distribution that is:

     

      * absolutely committed to free software,  every end-user application

    on the

        CD is free software

     

      * 100% free of charge, and the Ubuntu team is committed to keeping

        Ubuntu free of charge

     

      * security updates for the distribution at no charge for 18 months

        for any release

     

      * updated to the latest desktop and kernel and infrastructure every

        six months with a new release

     

      * supports x86, amd64 and ppc processors, with additional ports under

        way

     

    If you've heard all about Ubuntu and just want to get the install CD or

    test the Release Candidate Live CD, you can download it here immediately:

     

      http://www.ubuntulinux.org/download/

     

    If you want a shrinkwrapped CD we will gladly ship it to you at no cost.

    To receive a complimentary copy of the Warty Warthog CD -- or a handful

    to give to your friends, your school or LUG, register online at:

     

      http://shipit.ubuntulinux.org/

     

    For more information, you can turn to any of the following resources:

     

    Ubuntu Website: http://www.ubuntulinux.org

     

      The website contains some basic background on Ubuntu, an

      overview of the project, information on how to get it, and

      some documentation for the software.

     

    Ubuntu Wiki: http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org

     

      The wiki is a shared web space used by the Ubuntu community to

      develop new ideas for Ubuntu. Anybody is welcome to edit and

      add to the wiki.

     

    Ubuntu IRC Channel: #ubuntu and on irc.freenode.net

     

      The Ubuntu IRC channel is your best place to start for help and

      discussion about Ubuntu and the Warty Warthog release. We aim

      to keep the signal-to-noise ratio as high as possible on that

      channel, and on all community forums.

     

    Ubuntu Mailing Lists:

     

      Ubuntu mailing lists are the heart of our community. In addition to the

      announcement list, and lists for users and developers of Ubuntu,

      there are now Ubuntu mailing lists in German, French, Spanish as well

      as lists devoted to Ubuntu security, news, translators, and the

      inevitable lighthearted chitchat list ("the Sounder"). To get more

      information or subscribe, visit:

    Warty Warthog Features

     

    * Simple and fast Installation

     

      Ubuntu comes on one single CD, with thousands of extra packages

      available online. The install is optimised for speed and

      simplicity. Ubuntu has excellent support for laptops (both

      x86 based and Powerbook / iBook PPC based), and can also be

      setup in a minimalist server configuration.

     

    * GNOME 2.8

     

      Ubuntu was the first distribution to ship Gnome 2.8, on the day

      of the 2.8 release. Ubuntu is a great way to try out Gnome 2.8 if

      you have not already experienced its speed and simplicity.

     

    * Firefox 0.9 (with security patches)

     

    * First class productivity software

     

      Evolution 2.0 and OpenOffice.org 1.1.2

     

    * XFree86 4.3 with improved hardware support

     

      We also worked hard to detect as much hardware as possible,

      simplifying the X install considerably.

     

    Warty can be installed in a minimalist mode for servers, or in full

    desktop mode. It works well on laptops and desktops. Warty is secure

    by design - a key goal was to ensure that Warty was as safe from attack

    over the internet as possible after a default install.

     

    Thanks to the team of professional and volunteer maintainers who have

    worked so hard to bring the Warthog to life, and also to our rapidly

    growing community, who have provided excellent testing and ideas for

    the future of Ubuntu!

     

    "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word for "humanity towards others", and

    we think it's a perfect name for an open source community project. In

    that spirit we invite you to join, to contribute and to share Ubuntu

    with your own community. Our next release, the Hoary Hedgehog, is due

    in six months time. You can help to shape it by joining the team

    and contributing your own expertise. See you at #ubuntu on

    irc.freenode.net.

    FYI....

     

    After building a new box and needing mplayer I tried to use Marilets unstable and no worky, he must be moving to more bleeding edge debian but, if you move to testing, you should be able to install most everything.

     

    # Mplayer and dvd::rip (video-dvdrip)

    deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ testing main

     

    Or do it from the source (like me :cheesy:)

  25. Show off your Desktop: October

    D, just saying your custom panel got me playing with the gimp and my own custom panels. One thing lead to another til I finally thought I was capable of porting bbx mercury so I could have a good 'dark' theme that was usable. It's not hard, just a matter of going through the motions. I'm glad gnome-look.org came up. The increase in themer's/contributor's is good t see. A.G.O is a joke. I told them they could pull my stuff from there if they wanted to after recieving an email about an icon theme I submitted that had stock icons. They think they are the theme police, lol....I installed a theme from  a.g.o the other day and it has many bugs/errors and is ugly!. All of my stuff was submitted and only one metacity theme was put up, lol. But if you go to gnome-look and saw the bandwidth usage on my site, mine are very popular. Gnome purist :mr-green:

     

     

    I know FBI, CIA and KGB etc but Who's A.G.O? :unsure:
