And I never have found a use for yum on Ubuntu :-)
What about multimedia, mp3's and wmv. Works out of the box?
Also, the apt repos. Is there one huge repos that has all the stuff,
or do I need the various repos like livna, freshrpm's, and worry about
the conflicts?
Yeah - you can say goodbye to the conflicts. Most of the codecs are
in the Multiverse repo if they're not installed already.
A couple things I found helpful during migration:
sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d /usr/sbin/service (or just remember
"invoke-rc.d" - but I can't :)
sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf (there seems to be no chkconfig)
sudo sysv-rc-conf (to turn on/off services)
Thank you all.
Hope to give it a spin on Sunday.
Handling MP3's is easy; Ubuntu will ask you if you want to install the
codecs. Because of legal systems that allow software patents (like the
USA), a warning will come up saying, "This may or not be legal depending on
what country you're in."
Better to download (or rip) OGG's whenever possible, though. :-)
WMV's, on the other hand, might take a bit more work, but not too much
more. A buddy just recently ran into this with Hardy. He tried downloading
what looked to both of us like MPlayer's codec package. However, things
didn't work out for him, for some reason. I told him, just download the
codecs from www.mplayerhq.hu, and he did, and boom, things worked
perfectly. The codecs need to go into /usr/lib/codecs, IIRC. I do know
that when you compile MPlayer yourself (that's what I usually do), the
codecs need to go into /usr/local/lib/codecs.

Hi Mike
Thanks for your appreciated concerns, feedback and help !
I would love to get assistance from a local linux guru. ;-)
By nature, here is deep province near the jungle borders and by IT it's

With S.G.D (Super Grub Disk) I got my 2 OS'es working again. ;-))
Will stop any further experiments till I have all my important data

Unfortunately as Linux greenhorn / newbie I am not experienced how to
get this done best, easiest, fast and safest. ;-|
Wlll try to Backup / CP to am external USB HDD drive and hope for not
forgetting or loosing any important data, especially from Thunderbird.
Any helpful hints and suggestions are welcome.

Strange problem no access to pop3 Gmail in 7.04 from Evolution.
Pop3 does work in another distro along with all other pop accounts,
hotpop, lavabit, myrealbox, keepandbeararms, bluebottle and the ISP.
It works at home in SuSE but not the library in Feisty.
What is different with Gmail ?
Maybe your library is blocking access to TCP/110 (POP3)? What happens
if you type "telnet <ip-for-gmail-pop> 110" (without the "")? If it
times out or you get a connection refused, your library doesn't want you
accessing it. If you get a welcome banner, you're connected and there
is a configuration problem in Evolution.
Cheers,

By the look of this, you've specified modes in the screen sections
(above) but there is no matching ModeLine. So the X server is doing its
best to give you the resolution you asked for but the monitor timing is
all off which is giving you the display aberrations.
Simple solution:
1. Google "X modeline calculator" (there are tons!)
2. Feed in the monitor scan ranges etc as required.
3. Cut-and-paste the generated modeline into the appropriate "Screen"
section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
4. Restart X.
Hope that helps :)

James

It is not smart enough to say it's a directory but that is the

Karl,
I did not suggest that you use the procedure on your /boot. I suggested
that you use the procedure "for each of your mounts that is (a) a real
file system and (b) not the root file system." I illustrated with
my /boot, which is a mount point on most of my systems.
You have a rather unusual selection of mount points. I suggest you try
/f7home first, then /home, then /var/lock, then /var/run. They are
listed roughly in increasing likelihood that you'll need to take action
such as shutting down your desktop or rebooting in recovery mode.
--Mike Bird
dropped out and got the CD working. There I found a thing I called
/home/oldkarl and it was large so I deleted it. All else looked fine and
just did a df and it is good now. Here it is:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda8 9187068 2894196 5826188 34% /
So my partition is too big now :-)

Make backups. More than one. I use three for everything

Test backups. In the old days of tape drives roughly
50% of backups were unusable. These days things are

Keep backups in different buildings, or at minimum on

Hello,
I was able to install and configure an e-mail server using Postfix and
Dovecot (SMTP, POP3 and IMAP) but it works only locally on the machine
where it was installed. I'm unable to send/receive messages between the
server and a client (on another machine).
My references are:
1) The Book of Postfix, ISBN 1-59327-001-1, edit. No Starch Press;
2) Postfix: The Definitive Guide, ISBN 0-596-00212-2, edit. O'Reilly;
3) Ubuntu Server Guide, URL:
http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/postfix.html ;
4) Howto: ISP-style Email Server with Debian-Etch and Postfix 2.3,
URL: http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/
The e-mail server and the client are running on Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS
and Ubuntu Desktop 8.04, respectively.
Any ideas, please?
TIA,
Cassius.

Forgo what freedom? See, people like you seem to forget that freedom
means being able to something which seems contrary to one's interests. The
full statement is freedom of choice. It isn't the outcome that matters, it is
the choice. Having only "positive" outcomes as prescribed by others is no
/choice/ and thus no freedom.
