Ubuntu

Schimba tema, si pe mine ma enerveaza dimensiunea elementelor din meniuri. Poti incerca sa schimbi dimensiunea iconurilor din meniuri cu Gnome color chooser.
In legatura cu notificarile incearca sa te joci cu dimensiunea fonturilor. Pe mine ma enerveaza ca sunt cam jos, dar deja cica exista un patch pentru asta

Sufar si eu de o problema cu distributia 9.10:nu vrea sa vada nici de frica Nokia cs-10(modem 3G) ;Versiunea 9.04 lucreaza foarte bine si reuseste sa vada/instaleze acest device.Vroiam doar sa stiu daca am doar eu aceasta problema,sau e un bug nerezolvat al acestei distributii,thanx!

Si eu am un modem USB Huawei E220 care in Ubuntu 9.04 functioneaza perfect dar in 9.10 nici nu il vede cand il conectez.

se pare ca e vorba de un bug al distributiei 9.10 singura tentativa reala de a rezolva aceasta problema suna cam asa: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1310892

(copy/past) Wireless Internet (rough) Solution for 9.10 (with Nokia CS-10 usb stick and not only)
Hi to everybody,
I just started to use Ubuntu since three weeks ago (9.04 & everything working) and I switched to the new 9.10.
Everything was almost ok, but my wireless connection (Nokia CS-10 usb stick) was not working... after a lot of time spent around forums to search some solution, I found a (bad) way to make it working... and atm I'm surfing the web with it

I'm reporting what I discovered and what I've done, hoping this could help some of those having my same problems:

* I made a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10
* Since my usb stick wasn't automatically recognized and mounted, I opened System -> Administration -> Disk utility and discovered it was recognized as device, but with unknown filesystem... so I just selected it and pressed the command button Eject media from the device (At this point the stick red led started blinking)
* I went in System -> Preferences -> Network Connections and I created the connection in the same way I did for Ubuntu 9.04 (ATTENTION: be sure to do this step before perfoming the next ones... I'll describe why later)
* I rebooted the system and used the Ubuntu 9.04 installation cd to run the Live 9.04: in this way Ubuntu was recognizing my usb stick and I was able to open it and to copy/paste all the files into a folder located in my /home.
* I rebooted the system (removing the 9.04 cd) and ran Ubuntu 9.10 again. Once inside I went to the folder created in the previous step and used the install.sh file to install the Nokia CS-10 usb stick (as I did for Ubuntu 9.04, but running the files from the system instead that from the stick memory)

Ok... so now the device is installed, but still just recognized and not mounted, and even the connection is not working. I was mad and was going to go back to the safe 9.04... when I found this post onto the Ubuntu Italian Forum: http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php...,332110.0.html
Since I had nothing to loose, I tried it and it is working (but with some bad effect).

I'm reporting here a (resumed) translation for the English speakers.

Quote:
After trying all the workaround proposed on the web, I just started thinking the problem could be in the Network Manager, since I even know the Karmic is using a new method to manage the usb sticks (modem Manager) that could be bugged. So tried to remove the new Network Manager and to use the old one, downloading it from the Jaunty repositories.
These are the steps on a 9.10 clean installation:

1. download the 3 packages network-manager, network-manager-gnome and libnm-glib0 from jaunty repositories
Code:

libnm-glib0: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager/libnm-glib0_0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
network-manager-gnome: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager-applet/network-manager-gnome_0.7.1~rc4.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
network-manager: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager/network-manager_0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2_i386.deb

2. sudo apt-get --purge remove network-manager
3. Install them and then go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and lock them, so that Ubuntu won't try to update them again to the new version.

These instruction are for the i386, if you have a 64bit Ubuntu, go on packages.ubuntu.com and download the right packages from there.
After these steps, reboot your computer, eject media from the device and use your usb stick wireless connection as you were used with Ubuntu 9.04.

BAD EFFECTS:

1. it seems I'm no more able to edit my connections... System-> Preferences->Network Connections is not launching anything... and since I'm a newbie I dunno how to launch it from the command line... or if it is something related to the old version of the package network-manager-gnome. That's why it's really important that I setted up the connection parameters before running the quoted steps
2. when you try to disconnect from the gui, sometimes it dosn't work;

Any input or help about how to solve this problem is appreciated.

Ps: if you are using a different usb stick, the first steps are of course different for you. Just try to install your wireless connection as you were used with 9.04 and then perform the quoted steps.

Dar...se pare ca nu intotdeauna functioneaza,iar atunci cand prin un miracol,se reuseste obtinerea unei conexiuni functionale,aceasta nu poate fi modificata...Eu ma las pagubas si ma antorc la jaunty(9.04),sory!

Mersi Ovidiu! Am rezolvat cu chimbarea dimensiunii fonturilor din Apeareance-> Fonts. Le-am pus pe toate la 8 si acuma e mult mai bine. Parca am mai mult loc pe dektop! mersi mult de tot.
La mine merge modemul de la Huawei E272 si merge perfect! Nus la voi de ce nu merge!

Sa ne spui si noua cand apare patchu respectiv Ovidiu! Chiar il vreau si eu!

Patchul e aparut, insa n-a fost acceptat de catre echipa de dezvoltare a notify-osd. Acum sunt pe telefon si din pacate abia peste cateva zile voi fi acasa, iar abia atunci voi putea da mai multe detalii despre bug si despre cum puteti aplica patch-ul. Bug-ul a fost raportat pe Launchpad iar patch-ul poate fi gasit si el tot acolo

Pentru cei ce sunt deranjati de pozitia notificarilor din Ubuntu Karmic Koala (9.10), aveti aici o versiune putin modificata: #/file.php?id=413467

Pentru versiunea pe 64-bit:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~gilir/+archive/updates/+build/1302986/+files/notify-osd_0.9.24-0ubuntu2~gilir1_amd64.deb

Setarile ar trebui sa fie aplicate de indata ce instalati pachetul.

Multam mult de tot! E mult mai bine asa!

ajutor!! cine ma ajuta sa instalez si eu linux pe un laptop? am windows sp2 pe el.... am incercat de vreo doua ori sa l instalez,dar dupa vreo 5minute,adoarme cd rom ul..... pe fond negru ce trebuie facut?

Astia de la Canonical cred ca au cam dat-o in bara cu ubuntu 9.10 asta al lor ...
1. Cand am selectat "install inside windows" a copiat toate alea si dupa restart cand a ajuns la faza cu "se porneste programul de partitionare" tot dadea eroarea cu "no mount point found" la nesfarsit ... Cum dracu' sa rezolv asta ?
2. La o instalare normala de pe cd nu imi vede decat /dev/sdb (NTFS) si arata mesajul "no operating systems installed in this computer", cu toate ca /dev/sda exista si are xp, seven si ubuntu 9.04 pe el, plus o partitie ext3 goala ...
Singurul lucru care merge este modul live cd unde "vede" fara probleme ambele harduri
Piece of crap

Eu mereu definesc punctele de montare a celorlalte partitii din installer. E paradoxal ca o distributie destinata incepatorilor nu monteaza automat toate partitiile sau nu ofera macar un simplu utilitar grafic de configurare a fstab-ului. La capitolul asta SuSE sau Mandriva stau cu mult mai bine

As vrea sa pun un program C/C++ sub interfata grafica.
Am rascolit tot google-ul, singura modalitate care am gasit-o pt problema mea este sa folosesc QT.
M-am mai documentat si am vazut ce inseamna QT...si sincer nu am timp deocamdata sa invat un nou limbaj de programare.
Ceea ce doresc (si stiu ca in windows exista, dar eu am nevoie pt ubuntu/kubuntu) este un program / tool care sa ma ajute sa creez / sa generez o interfata grafica simpla...o fereastra in care sa pot afisa outurile functiilor cout / printf, sa pot scrie inputurile functiilor cin / scanf si cateva butoane in spatele caror sa pot baga ceva cod C/C++, de exemplu apelarea apelarea unor functii. Sper ca ati inteles in mare ceea ce doresc, nu stiu cat de bine m-am exprimat. Exista astfel de program pt Linux? Va multumesc pt timpul acordat.

Pai si in Windows trebuie sa inveti oleac' de GUI ca sa poti face ceea ce vrei tu. In Linux poti folosi QT, GTK, wxWidgets, Motif sau altele. QT (sau GTK, etc.) nu este un nou limbaj de programare, ci doar un toolkit grafic cu cateva functii si API-uri ce pot fi usor memorate.

Eu personal am lucrat cu Python si GTK2 si pot sa spun ca acesta din urma mi-a placut destul de mult. Desi s-ar putea sa ti se para ciudat modul lui de organizare, GTK e destul de intuitiv. Ca GUI designer poti folosi Glade, iar pentru QT exista QT Designer

Merci pt raspuns. Sper sa nu fie prea greu. Daca o sa intampin probleme o sa deranjez din nou.

Cum se regleaza ceasul in karmic (fara sa modific din bios si fara sa folosesc NTP)
Eu nu am reusit ...
