The nominees I have recorded are: Scott Kitterman Jonathan Riddell Myriam Schweingruber Arthur Schiwon They are all eligible. If somehow you thought you were nominated and you aren't on this list, contact me immediately. Since there are four nominees for three seats, there will be an election. I will start working on ballot preparation today and send it out in the evening. In order to be eligible to vote, you must be a current Kubuntu member and receive a ballot via CIVS. In order to receive a ballot, we need an email address. If you have a public email address in your Launchpad profile, you need take no action. I will collect them from there. If you do not have one, you will not get a ballot unless you provide me with an email address. You can contact me directly either via email or IRC. Assuming no foul-ups in preparation, ballots will go out by today evening and voting will be open until the end (UTC) of June 15th. Best of luck to all the candidates and if you have anything more to communicate about your candidacy, now's the time ...

From "apt-cache show update-manager-kde update- manager-core": Package: update-manager-kde Description-en: Support modules for Muon Notifier and Apper Support modules for Muon Notifier and Apper to check for new distro releases and download the dist-upgrade tool. Package: update-manager-core Description-en: manage release upgrades This is the core of update-manager and the release upgrader So to me it doesn't look like those phased updates are used for Kubuntu.

Well, that makes a difference. Please check in systemsettings -> "Application and System Notifications" -> "Manage Notifications" -> "Applications" tab -> "Event source: Muon" that it should show a message for available updates. Other than that, at systemsettings -> "Application and System Notifications" -> "Other Notifications" it may be necessary to tick the checkbox for "Upgrade Information", but I'm not sure if this includes normal updates or if it is only for release upgrades.

Since then I have made "clean installation" and now thought I would configure it again. Sadly Blogilo seems not to be maintained so the setup "wizard" for a blogspot account fails. After much searching I found this suggestion: ---------------- How to manually Configure BLOGILO (Blog manager for linux) for blogger.com 1)- Blog/Homepage URL- http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1853225125323725410 (some thing like this, copy the URL after login on blogger and open design/loyout page for your specific blog) 2) USERNAME and PASSWORD -- abc at gmail.com and XXXXXXXX (as your login ID) ADVANCE- 1)- Select from dropdown box -- BLOGSPOT.COM 2)- Blog ID- enter from above URL, like (1853225125323725410) 3)- Text direction -- as u wish now OK option is appeared then click OK --------------------- This seems to "kind of work" in that it seems that Blogilo contacts the account, downloads titles of earlier posts and so on. But so far any attempt to post something is failing. Blogilo happily reports that the post has been submitted but nothing shows up on the blog, neither in Drafts or as a submitted post. Is anyone successfully using Blogilo with Blogspot or should I just give up and look for an alternative?

Please correct me if I'm wrong OP. This thread is not asking how to create a mult-boot system. I do remember an option years ago that you could hold down the restart button inside kde. Check out this: http://ksmanis.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/grub2burg-integration-in-kde/ I'm pretty sure the one being asked about requires kdm and won't work with the current lightdm. According to this thread you must remove lightdm and install kdm to have it working again but does offer another command shell work around: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2083160 I did find sort of a solution here maybe: http://askubuntu.com/questions/18170/how-to-reboot-into-windows-from-ubuntu/63079#63079 On Wed, Jun 4, 2014 at 7:59 PM, Dale Trombley wrote: > I think there is a misunderstanding in this thread.

When you upgraded the video card did you have to change/update drivers? I wonder if the middle button emulation got turned off. The video driver may have some config were you can turn that back on, or you can make an x.org config and us it. X.org will use the config if it finds one.

Many? I guess just a few are 32-bit only and most of them likely can be used on 64-bit architecture too. OTOH I'm a ware of at least one proprietary Linux DAW that is only available in 64-bit architecture. What important programs are still in 32 bit only available, could you name a few of them?

Skype probably is the biggest one. But it runs very well in a multiarch system ;) While there is little reason to keep to 32 bit installs anymore, other than older hardware that is not 64 bit, there also is, in the case of the OP, very little reason to do a fresh install simply in order to get 64 bit.

Do you not have a wheel mouse? If you do, try pressing down on the wheel - it should serve as the middle mouse buttton. -Jerry ============================================= Jerry Lapham Monroe, OH 45050 rjlapham at gmail.com ============================================= Walk to Emmaus: Fueling station for a spirit-filled church -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I at least would suspect 64 MiB. In the last years I noted on my machine, that using 64-bit kernels, I get "Memory Size: 3 GB + 512 MB" for my 4 GiB RAM. Frame buffer size is 256 MiB, so 256 MiB are missing.

The kubuntu-updates PPA is the best way to get these packages soonest, as there is more of a process before such updates are allowed into the standard repos, and likely not each and every minor KDE release will be pushed there. Afaik there is no actual timeline for which updates will end up in the official repos. However, the kubuntu-updates ppa is an official, kubuntu-supported repository.

Hi George, As far as I am aware Synaptic runs fine in KDE, or it did the last time I used it, which was some time ago though. I don't use Firefox for mails, I use thunderbird, which is configured to top post as well, but I just cursor down the page to the area I want to input in, and press Enter which allows me to start typing at that point. I would assume Firefox is no different. regards, Steve > > > On Fri, Jun 20, 2014 at 11:08 AM, Robert Marshall > > wrote: > > On Fri, Jun 20 2014, Robert Marshall > wrote: > > > Starting with the update to apt of this week (and the problem > occurring > > on that update) when muon/apper informs me that there are > upgrades, if I > > view them and attempt to upgrade I no longer get asked for > > authentication (my password) and then the upgrade fails because it > > doesn't have (sudo) permissions :-( > > > > I'm not aware of changing anything, has something else changed, is > > anyone else seeing this? > > > > Before this change a dialog used to pop up asking for my password, I > > entered it and the update was done.

KDE package management sucks. The first thing I do on a new install is fire up a terminal and install synaptic. You have to do it in a terminal because, in my experience, KDE package handlers can't find it. Synaptic just works. When update manager tells me I have "security updates available" I fire up synaptic to get them. -- Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must. like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.-Thomas Paine _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Synaptic is a very good GUI, the only alternatives are ncurses and pure command line. Aptitude and apt(-get) are good too. What to use depends to the OP's needs. For Debian based disrtos such as the *buntus, I wouldn't use anything else, than Synaptic, aptitude or apt(-get), an sure, dpkg ;). I prefer the DEB package management over the RPM management, but my favourite is the Arch Linux pacman way.
