So far I have only had formal notification from Aaron Honeycutt and Simon Quigley. Anyone else wanting to stand (or even nominate someone else) have literally only hours to do so, so please do hurry.

URL: From rikmills at kubuntu.org Mon Sep 4 11:45:51 2017 From: rikmills at kubuntu.org (Rik Mills) Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2017 12:45:51 +0100 Subject: Kubuntu Council Elections 2017 - Call for Nominations In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1ff78cef-1dbe-1e33-3a5d-70c671f4ba8e@kubuntu.org> I wish to nominate myself to stand for the Kubuntu Council in the 2017 elections. My name is Rik Mills, and I have been a Kubuntu Member for nearly a year, and a Kubuntu Developer since February. My LP profile can be found at: https://launchpad.net/~rikmills Since getting involved in Kubuntu I have tried to make daily (or nearly so) contributions to the project, including areas such as (non-exhaustively) development, packaging, uploads, administering our CI, website announcements, advocacy and user help on forums and social media, collaborating with other projects, and more..... I have made contributions to KDE Neon and KDE also, hopefully to the benefit of both ends. Things I would like to accomplish on the Council would include: 1) Increase our social media and outreach presence, both to help users and promote the project and get useful user feedback. At the moment this is some somewhat piecemeal, and I think we can do better in both organisation and breadth. 2) Bring more people such as packagers, documenters, coders, artists etc into the project. This may go hand in hand with aim (1), but we also need to still improve the visibility and clarity of the entry path to contributing in the many possible areas we have. One example may be the restart of Kubuntu Ninja dojo sessions on BigBlueButton or similar, as the value of practical live sessions such as that can encourage people more than volumes of wiki pages and docs (not that those are not crucial also). 3) Work better with other projects for our mutual benefit. There has certainly been good progress with this in the last 12 months, but I feel we can still do better. We have huge common interest with projects such as KDE Neon, that I don't think are fully explored. The same for other ubuntu flavours, such as lubuntu where shared resources on Qt/KDE essentials such as update manager/notifications, installer front end, better driver manager and more would benefit us all. There is a lot more that could be said, but this is a nomination, not a manifesto, so I will stop there. Thank you all.

One such person is Rick Timmus [1], who I briefly spoke to earlier today via Telegram. He indicated that he would like to stand, however, he is currently away from keyboards, spending time with his family. Therefore, he is unable to write to the mailing list himself before the deadline. So I said I would briefly write on his behalf and communicate his intention to stand. For those who don't know, Rick [1] has been a Kubuntu member for over 6 years now and co-hosts the Podcast [2] along side Aaron and Ovidiu. He is also a Community Manager, organises the DoJo's and online meetup's/hacking sessions on Big Blue Button. You can watch past podcasts on YouTube [3] and count the number of times he says "good stuff" during each show! Due to family commitments he has had to suspend his contributions over the summer period but intends to re-engage very shortly and therefore would like you to consider him to represent you on the Kubuntu Council. The deadline is 22:00UTC, shortly after I intend to prepare the ballots, so it you are thinking of standing please contact me right now!

The call for nominations has now expired and we now have four nominees for the three Kubuntu Council seats. I am pleased to announce that the following people are in the running for this election. * Aaron Honeycutt * Simon Quigley * Rik Mills * Rick Timmus I am also sad to hear that Clay Weber and Ovidiu-Florin Bogdan have both decided not to stand for re-election this time round. But I would like to thank them for their time and work over this past two years and hope they will still be active within the community. Voting ballots should now be whizzing through cyberspace to all Kubuntu members with a link to a ballot page with four choices on it. Please make sure you vote before the 11th September 2017 as we have to keep to a tight schedule on this. If for some reason you did not receive an email containing your ballot URL and you think you should have been sent one, please email me as soon as possible with your correct email address (I used the email address listed on Launchpad).

I've found this in the man page (https://www.mankier.com/1/intel_panel_fitter): "In the future, there will be support for this feature inside the Linux Kernel." Perhaps this is your case? Otherwise, you could try to build intel_panel_fitter from the sources: cd /tmp apt-get source intel-gpu-tools cd intel-gpu-tools-1.14 There appears tools/intel_panel_fitter.c, which should be what you are looking for.

Well then, such an interesting election! I closed the poll and checked the results expecting to find the names of the new Council members. Instead I was shocked and alarmed to find that we had two clear winners, but there was also a tie for the 3rd seat! So on seeking advice from the existing council on how to resolve the tie, it turns out that Aaron Honeycutt did not vote due to running in the election and also being stuck in the middle of a hurricane! So on receiving Aaron's vote, I now have the pleasure of announcing the three elected members to the Kubuntu Council. In order of voter preference: 1) Rik Mills 2) Aaron Honeycutt 3) Rick Timmis (Apologies to Rick for spelling his surname wrong!) I hope you will all join me in welcoming the new members (Rik and Rick) and also the returning (Aaron) to the Kubuntu Council. I look forward to working with you all in the future. I would also like to thank Ovidiu-Florin and Clay for their time and input over the years and also Simon who stepped up and made this a truly democratic process.

After many years of inactivity I've decided to have a play with the Arduino IDE. In the meantime I've bought an old Lenovo Thinkpad laptop after my desktop computer died. The problem is that the Arduino menus run off the bottom of the screen which means that I cannot select items beyond a certain point. The menus don't scroll up to reveal the remaining items, but I don't think they ever did. If I change the screen orientation to portrait then I can see more of the menu items but the narrower screen brings up more problems. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Fresh installs are always faster than upgrades, because the updater has to not only download and install, but test that everything is good before deleting the old stuff. If you can upgrade using the DVD you have, fewer packages will need to be downloaded. It is still important to check repeatedly that you have completely updated once you restart to your newly upgraded Kubuntu 14.04.

At least your system is partly working if those GUI programs are started automatically. > Then a window > pop up saying- > "no system tray detected on this system" > "unable to start exiting" Searching for "no system tray detected", every result indicates that the problem is related to hplip. If your error message actually starts with "HPLIP Status Service: No system tray detected", then it would be confirmed and there seem to be several different solutions. In any case, you will need a command line. I'm not sure if you can start programs with ALT-F2 now, but if that is possible, you should start "konsole". Otherwise you should get a VT with CTRL-ALT-F2. Log in with your usual credentials and run the command DISPLAY=:0 konsole & then press CTRL-ALT-F7 to return to the GUI where you should have konsole running. In both cases you can now enter commands. I would first try: /usr/bin/hp-systray If that doesn't help, you could remove your configuration directory for hplip: rm -r ~/.hplip and reboot.

So you could try if it helps to uninstall wine: sudo apt-get remove wine and then reboot. > PS Is there a way I can upgrade from a K14.04LTS .iso DVD by changing > the software settings in the Muon settings to include CD Rom, after > cloning back to before I ran the online upgrade? I have no idea how to do that - maybe somebody else could help here. Anyway, you may still have the packages on your system which were downloaded during the upgrade - it depends on the apt settings. Please have a look at "/var/cache/apt/archives/". If there are lots of .deb packages in that directory, you could copy them to a location outside of the partition you want to clone back. Then before you upgrade again, copy them back to the original location. That should avoid downloading everything again. It may be useful even if you upgrade from the DVD because the packages on the DVD probably aren't the latest version.

Why so many? These are ancient versions anyway - the current standard kernel for 14.04 is 3.13.0-132 (or 4.4.0-96 if you use the HWE version). It also looks like you don't have "linux-generic" installed which supersedes "linux-generic-pae". > so how would I remove the rest in one hit or have to do individualy? You can do it in a single command, i.e. write all the package names you want to remove after the "sudo apt-get purge". OTOH, it may be easier to use a graphical package manager like muon or synaptic where you can mark the packages you want to uninstall and finally apply the marked changes.

I'm not sure what your selection options look like in this case. Anyway, I suppose your problem is a missing file association for MS office files and in the selection for applications there may be no libreoffice, but there should be something like "Other..." where you can select from all applications. There you could navigate to the office section and select libreoffice. Another way to set the selection permanently would be this: In the file manager go to the directory with the file in question and right-click the file. In the context menu select "Properties". It opens a new window where you should click the button "File Type Options". Again a new window opens where you click the "Add" button. Then select libreoffice like I explained in the previous paragraph. > so downloaded in .deb format libreoffice 3.5.2 and 4.2.3 > but when I executed either one it said > after enter muon password, that there was earlier one in the muon > update, but not sure > within this which one to use as so many, do I run it thru Muon > package/update/software app? Like Valerie explained already, I would also suggest to use the libreoffice version from the Ubuntu repos. If you would install a newer version from some other location you wouldn't get updates automatically and the missing file association probably would not be there either.

If that's the same problem I found a long time ago with tooltips, this would fix it: Start systemsettings, go to "Application Appearence" -> "GTK".

I think the second line should be "Advanced options for Ubuntu" where you can select all the kernels installed on your system. And as long as those -pae kernels are installed, you can select them.
