No, unfortunately my BIOS does not have an option to set the GPU to be used. I wish it had, it would be so much simpler to use the nvidia GPU... As it is, the system always starts with the Intel GPU and the nvidia driver decides when the nvidia GPU should be used and starts it automatically on the fly. Well, the nvidia driver for windows, that is. Nvidia does not support optimus on Linux and there's no supported way to switch to the nvidia GPU. I've seen that there are some notebooks that do offer this option in their BIOS, but there is a number of others that do not and unfortunately my system falls in the second category. It's worth mentioning that my system is not a notebook, it's a desktop. Why in the world did Dell choose to use hybrid graphics in a desktop system is something beyond my understanding. Hybrid graphics is great for notebooks, where every watt saved counts to extend the battery autonomy. In a desktop, it's just bad design.

Message-ID: <2826255.8RXrvMyVJf@viaconsensus-travel> Hello Everybody, At several of my previous Kubuntu configurations, I found a spell checker in Kontact/ Kmail for each of the languages I had installed via system settings > locale > system languages. I used to create an "identity" for each of the languages which I use for e-mails: perfectly OK for me. However, after a fresh install of Kubuntu 12.04, I only find Kontact spell checkers for English and one other language I do not use at all. In Kontact, I cannot invoke any other language I have elsewhere at my system - Dutch, German, French and a few others. Be so kind to explain how I can get back in KMail each spell checker I want.

The one in "Adjust Date & Time" lets you indicate which time zone your computer is in. The "Time Zone" page in "Digital Clock Settings" lists all time zones. The ones you select will then populate the "Clock defaults to" dropdown. This dropdown allows you to indicate which time zone you wish the clock to display.

The Time Zone setting should be the same in both. Adjust Date & Time adjusts the operating system's date/time. This should change the Digital Clock's time zone.

I have a HP Pavillion with the freaking hybrid graphics. There IS an option in bios to select hybrid or one card - if you can find it as you have to open BIOS with a special keycombination to get to that setting. AND it does not work... apparently there is a "key setting" when BIOS is compiled that disables it. Further I can not switch off the fingerprint-reader I have no intention of ever using and so on and so forth. Never HP again.

If you go "Digital Clock Settings | Time Zones" and _deselect_ all selected zones, you'll see that "Clock defaults to" goes gray. In this mode, when you hover over the clock, you'll see only the system's time zone. You were seeing duplicates because you had selected the same time zone in the list as the time zone your system is in. In my case, I choose only one item in the list: UTC. I set "Clock defaults to" to be "local." Now, when I hover over the clock, I see two items: my local time and UTC. I agree, though, the explanation could be clearer. ...Steve From blchupin at iinet.net.au Wed Jun 6 05:34:18 2012 From: blchupin at iinet.net.au (Basil Chupin) Date: Wed, 06 Jun 2012 15:34:18 +1000 Subject: Erratic mouse behavior in 12.04 In-Reply-To: <4FCDEB3B.7070509@gmail.com> References: <1725964.dC7Bgyc4Zx@home-01> <1881032.tt4UMlpI1I@home-01> <4FC9B55A.6020508@iinet.net.au> <41835552.8DnzX4yxqu@home-01> <4FCDA68A.2030308@iinet.net.au> <4FCDB2F4.4000006@gmail.com> <4FCDCF37.2060803@iinet.net.au> <4FCDEB3B.7070509@gmail.com> Message-ID: <4FCEEBDA.5080100@iinet.net.au> On 05/06/12 21:19, O.

My comments were directed at only the desktop computers because I don't think that it is even possible to build one's own laptop. Perhaps it is possible? I don't know as I not only don't own a laptop but have never looked into the possibility of building one. I guess it may be possible by buying a "clunker" and then refurbishing it with bits of one's choosing - dunno. Anyone know the answer?

Ah, so there is such a thing as "barebones" - but I am talking here about "start with nothing but a list of components and take it from there" :-) . Also, notebooks are not really laptops, are they? May as well have an iPad or an iPhone. Playthings for those who are not really serious.....:-) . One of the things I do know about laptops is that when I go looking for bits for a desktop I find that the same bits I want for a desktop are at least ~40% more expensive for a laptop.

Since my menu is not at the bottom of the screen, neither is my pager, but the effect is the same. The scroll wheel when the mouse is over the pager changes desktops. I never noticed this before, probably because I never use the scrollwheel there. But I haven't found a way to control this action.

Have you tried this > to see what those "hidden" options are? Unfortunately, there is no hidden option in this BIOS either. I've tried every combination of keys I've seen in other BIOS, but no advanced options are shown. Dell's support also tells me there is no options other than those which are shown when you press F2 during the POST. I also prefer to pick the components my self and build a custom computer if I can, but this system is an all-in-one and it's almost impossible to build such a system yourself, as it is with notebooks and laptops. Actually, it's body has much more in common with a laptop than with a desktop. But I found the root of my pointing device problems. It is a bug in xorg, which is triggered when a coordinate transformation matrix is set using xinput: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50664 I have to modify the default coordinate transformation matrix because I use two monitors, one above the other, and only the bottom one has a touchscreen. This is the one which is part of the Dell Inspiron One all-in-one system. X defaults to map the touchscreen over the entire desktop and not over the area corresponding to the monitor which has the touchscreen, despite it being an absolute coordinates point device and not a relative coordinates one, like a mouse. Because of that, the upper half of the touchscreen is mapped to the upper monitor, which does not have a touchscreen, and the bottom half is mapped to the bottom monitor. Of course, it is impossible to use the touchscreen with this mapping, because the cursor position in the desktop never corresponds to the actual position where I'm touching the screen, except in the bottom line of the desktop. After I use xinput to restrict the area covered by the touchscreen device, X transforms the coordinates properly, ie, it now knows that the touchscreen covers only the bottom monitor and not the entire desktop. On the other hand, the button release events fail for the touchscreen (so it is not possible to click by tapping) and there are random jumps in the Y coordinate of the mouse cursor while the touchscreen is being used, and all sorts of strange problems start happening with the mouse buttons. I guess I have to disable the touchscreen and wait until xorg is fixed or else change temporarily my configuration to clone mode when I want to use the touchscreen, so I don't have to modify the coordinate transformation matrix.

It is supposedly possible to go from 10.04 to 12.04 but not from any other release inbetween, 11.10 of course being the exception as it is directly before 12.04. If so it should be 14.04 if they keep on releasing LTS every second year - that intention has been stated by Canonical. And then it should not be Quantal but something on S. Snappy Something perhaps, who knows? As for Whysky I have no idea.

My apologies. What steps have you done so far? If you haven't already you should install build-essential and kdelibs5, as well as cmake if that is not pulled in. Not being near a computer atm I would think that running $ sudo apt-get build-dep lightdm will be necessary as well. Off the top of my head the only issues you may have dependency wise would be if the greeter requires some kde qt or lightdm version that is newer than what is in oneiric, but that probably is fine. Just to be forewarned, kdepim might not have many updates when KDE releases 4.9 as it normally has it's own release schedule. I also am not positive if 4.9 will make it into the normal repos for 12.04, though it will make it into a ppa. We don't normally get major point releases from the one in each version, but as 12.04 is a 5 year LTS, that may be up in the air. -- Clay Weber -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have all the build essentials and cmake, it is during cmake it goes bonkers. May try again, for now I shelve it. Tried the outdated ppa and and that was not a good experience. As for KDEPIM they have a 4.9 version "in trunk" so it should form part of KDE SC 4.9. And Kubuntu has a history of at least putting it in one of the kubuntu ppa's so I hope for that. Will wait and see. Another issue I have with 12.04 is that suddenly hibernation stopped working, even after going through recommended steps to bring it back (it is disabled by default). And a Remastersys copy I made would for the first time not get things "back to normal" after I made on experiment too many and reinstalled with my Remastersys iso. So far not impressed by this LTS actually.

If things haven't changed, you could run the program pavucontrol (from the package with the same name). With this program you can enable your microphone. And for the webcam you could first check if the program cheese can see it. If that works, you may want to start skype with the command LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype from konsole on a 64bit system or with the command LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype on a 32bit system. Please note: I haven't tried any of the commands above because I don't use skype.

These "things" don't work since lib is in 386 instead being in v4l. Or packager could do it specialy for beginners with linux. skype is the only good working audio video conferencing on linux.

Try here: http://www.mindwerks.net/2011/09/skype-on-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/ it got me up and running on 64-bit, back on 32pae I have no problems.

I can easily run the jnlp file I found using the commandline $ javaws but it does not work from clicking or right-clicking on the file unless *Firefox is set as the default browser* .

There is an Ubuntu version in both 32 & 64 bit. Might be worth a try since you are having issues with the repository version. Actually, the 64 bit package of skype is really a 32 binary that requires you to install of *all* the 32bit compatibility libraries, all 217 of them.

If you want to back up your user-specific data, you just make a copy of your home directory. This is also a reason many have a separate /home partition, as when you reinstall your OS, your existing data is still there without needing to copy anything back usually.

Found this using google with "ubuntu icons missing". I suspect it will also fix start menu items missing. Do: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. P.S.

But regardless of which screen I'm on when I log out, it switches to screen 8 when initialization is complete (see above). I switched to "restore manually saved session", then saved the session from the K menu and logged out.

If the bug is Kubuntu specific it would be bugs.launchpad.net but this looks more like a general KDE issue and therefore bugs.kde.org would be a better place to report it. However, before reporting the issue, I would suggest to create a new user and try to reproduce the behaviour when using that new account.

The release cycle for Fedora 18, nicknamed the Spherical Cow, coincides with the release time frame for Microsoft's Windows 8. As opposed to previous releases of Windows, Microsoft this time around is imposing its' will on hardware vendors with a new Secure UEFI boot system. With Secure UEFI a signed digital key will be required in order for an operating system to boot. It's a problem that could potentially make it impossible for Linux users to boot Linux on new hardware. Fedora has one possible solution It involves paying VeriSign for a key that Microsoft will then use with hardware vendors. Fedora developer Matthew Garret provides all the gory detail in a blog post.

If I have more than one tab opened, the tab in which I typed exit closes, as expected. If I have just one tab, then it closes but another session is reopened immediately.

Closing with exit at the last tab, just creates a new yakuake terminal (immediately, no pause). This is what I expect, because yakuake was built to be permanently available and go out of the way when you press f12. If I exit with multiple tabs, only the tab I close is gone. So, nothing special there either. -- Kind regards, Guus Bonnema.

I like to see what my printout will look like before I waste toner and paper on it so I always "print" to PDF, then print the .pdf file if it looks OK. That might work even in your case if the early pages you've already printed correspond with the pages of the .pdf file. You could then print only the missing pages. -Jerry ============================================= Jerry Lapham Monroe, OH 45050 rjlapham at gmail.com ============================================= Walk to Emmaus: Fueling station for a spirit-filled church From kbun at xpresso.seaslug.org Thu Jun 28 08:35:37 2012 From: kbun at xpresso.seaslug.org (Bill Vance) Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2012 01:35:37 -0700 Subject: Firefox Printing In-Reply-To: <201206272158.31796.rjlapham@gmail.com> References: <20120627224211.GA3637@xpresso.seaslug.org> <201206272158.31796.rjlapham@gmail.com> Message-ID: <20120628083537.GA4865@xpresso.seaslug.org> On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 09:58:31PM -0400, Jerry Lapham wrote: >Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2012 21:58:31 -0400 >From: Jerry Lapham >Subject: Re: Firefox Printing > >On Wednesday, June 27, 2012 06:42:11 PM Bill Vance wrote: >> I was printing out a long html file using Firefox 13.0, when >> something else went screwy and caused the machine to reboot. >> >> There's about a tenth of the file left to print, and I've no >> idea how to tell firefox, (or any other browser), to only print >> the part I need done. >> >> Anyone got something on tap that'll do the trick? > >I like to see what my printout will look like before I waste toner and paper >on it so I always "print" to PDF, then print the .pdf file if it looks OK. > >That might work even in your case if the early pages you've already printed >correspond with the pages of the .pdf file.

In my case I had IPV6 and IPV4 both open, which was causing the problems. As soon as I had only one open, I had no problem. I am not saying this is your problem, just something to look at. The other thing is, that a change in computer behaviour is always the result of a change in the configuration or software.

Hmmm, could you check your logs for messages? Start looking at /var/log/syslog. I found lots of IP related messages in my syslog. Also dmesg might contain a hint. Try to find out why it resets.

What you should find out is whether the problem is one of your machine or of a router. If you are sure Windows does not have the same problem on the same machine and with the same ip-configuration (fixed ip number, same number), then you should focus on linux. As far as the logs, if you lose your IP address, there must be something in the logs that indicates what is going on. -- Kind regards, Guus Bonnema. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Did you know you have Network Manager running? If you have a fixed IP address, why do you have Network manager running? As I recall, one of the first responses on this thread was whether you had Network manager installed. Probably Network manager and manual setting of IP interface don't work well together. You could try disabling or uninstalling Network Manager. But check the docs first though. Anyone on this thread who understands Network Manager stuff? Maybe can help? -- Kind regards, Guus Bonnema. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

On the wired connection in 12.04: 2 days ago I installed an additional HDD on the computer. Took it off the workbench, connected it to all the normal things - but I had no connection to the internet (ie ADSL modem). The lights on the modem showed that the cable WAS connected to the computer. Changed cables, checked the BIOS, reset the BIOS - still nothing.

That particular USB port has 'gone' as well? I even re-installed the whole OS system because I did not believe that the onboard LAN could have gone belly up after only 2 months of use. But....as they say in the movies, "S*** happens" :-( . Does doing 'sudo lshw' or 'hwinfo' provide any clues? Or an entry in /var/log message file?

It appears that DHCP was not configured for either eth0 nor the WAN. I'm fighting with it now to get DHCP working. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com From kassube at gmx.net Sat Jun 30 12:31:36 2012 From: kassube at gmx.net (Nils Kassube) Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2012 14:31:36 +0200 Subject: No network on 12.04 install In-Reply-To: References: <4FEED42D.1010800@iinet.net.au> Message-ID: <201206301431.36377.kassube@gmx.net> Dotan Cohen wrote: > The system recognises and I can select wifi networks, but none of > them connect. > > The problem is that the system is not getting an IP address.

If the router has DHCP disabled, you wouldn't get an IP address either. I'm quite sure that DHCP is enabled by default for Kubuntu.

Which is exactly what I went through and why I re-installed the system thinking that the network configuration was somehow messed up :-( . In my case, I even checked that the little contact "fingers" in the RJ45 connectors were correctly in place and didn't somehow get out of their position (which actually happened many years ago on one of the RJ11 connectors). The only suggestions I can now offer is to get a network card (borrow or buy) and install that. Frustrating I know when you think that there is no logical reason for something like what you are experiencing should suddenly happen.

It will find all the working hardware, If the hardware works with that then you have an OS, configuration, or software problem. If the hardware doesn't work then, you need to fix the hardware.
