[MCN-L] Exhibition Schedule Timelines
I use a very basic online project management tool called iteamwork. The free version hasn't been updated since the dawn of time, but it does everything I need, and I've had no problems in the 7 or so years I've been using it. I use it for forward plan and accreditation rather than exhibitions though. The paid version allows you to download the software, or host on their private server. Licensing is according to number of users.

[Evolution] Current message pane doesn't update
I'm running Evo 3.2.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. It's set to have a current message pane open below the message list pane. I'm often finding that when I click on a message, the message pane doesn't update, even if I change to another folder. The only way is to close Evo and relaunch it. I can double-click the message line and open the message in a new window, but this isn't as convenient. Anyone else had this?

[Evolution] Mail notification in Ubunut 12.04
Finally done a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04, with Unity. Installed Evo 3.2.3, and have a question. The mail icon at the top right of the panel only shows Thunderbird - I know I changed it before so it would look for Evo and notify me of incoming mail, but can't info on doing this in 12.04. Do I simply have to install evolution-notification? I've got the mail notification plug-in enabled, but I usually have my speakers turned off so I prefer the new mail icon if possible.

[ubuntu-uk] Swindon Hackspace at Museum of Computing
Latest update on the proposed hackspace: = I'm Jamie, I've been working with Simon on the proposed hackspace at the Museum of Computing in Swindon. We are having a meeting at the museum on Wednesday 30th May at 7pm, to discuss the hackspace with anybody who is interested in coming along. Links for directions can be found at the bottom of this mail, please let us know if you will be attending so we know how many to expect. Thanks to everybody who returned a questionnaire, from that feedback we will initially run a weekday evening Hackspace from 6-9pm, most likely each Monday. We may survey those interested upon which weekday is best before confirming the day. Unfortunately, it's not possible to provide open/24hr access as it is not a full time dedicated hackspace and the museum is usually closed when we'll be wanting access. There may be the possibility of adding additional meetings if the demand is there. Also, we can arrange adhoc meetings if required for some event or other initiative. Other items to discuss: * Preparations needed for work area * Best evening, Mon-Fri, on which to meet * Terms of access to hackspace, including opening times and entry/membership fees * Suggestions for presentations you'd like to see, or can give (or know someone who can) * Types of projects that you see being carried out and what equipment you need, or can provide. * Collaboration with other Hackspaces or similar initiatives (Artsite) * Events we could hold, or attend elsewhere If you're unfamiliar with the museum, we're opposite the Swindon Model Centre on Theatre Square, between Swindon Central Library and the Wyvern Theatre. Museum location : http://maps.google.co.uk/?q=The+Museum+Of +Computingcid=1649343045243643722 Regards, Jamie Osborne === All welcome to this meeting - let me know if you want to attend and I'll let Jamie know.

I have 10.10 Ubuntu. Used my machine with no problems this morning. Just switched back on and logged on to my account OK.

And what can I have done to change the keyring password? Updates yesterday included linux headers, and today I think was only Chrome. Password and Encryption shows only one password, and that's login - but it's blank, including date created. I can't reset - I don't know what the old password is set to, as it says it isn't my admin password.

Or at least, they felt that way. My only experience of internet chat before Ubuntu was that AIM stuff that my children loved but I hated - mainly because it flooded with weird strangers. I was very nervous when I started using IRC because of this, and I was also worried that I could do something wrong (don't ask me what!) and get told off (don't ask me why, or by whom!) I mainly used the forums, and always the absolute beginners - there I felt that I could ask any question, no matter how basic, and not be worried about showing my ignorance. Do we have an Ubuntu newcomers IRC channel that would be more appropriate? But I always felt IRC wasn't really the place to ask about problems - the person with the answer may not be online, and a question would pretty quickly scroll off the screen.

[ubuntu-uk] Netbook Ubuntu v. plain Ubuntu
A friend has asked me to look at her husbands netbook, which is running Linux. He bought it from Tesco two years ago, so I think it probably *is* Ubuntu. His problems are mainly that it doesn't recognise USB devices when they're plugged in, and it downloads updates but doesn't install them. He wants to do more than email and web browsing, which is all he feels he can do at the moment (it has shortcuts on the desktop for email and firefox). If it's two years old, and he hasn't upgraded, will it be pre-Unity? As I've never used a netbook, only Ubuntu on desktops and laptops, will I be able to find my way around it? She thinks his cunning plan is to break it so he can buy a new one, but I don't want to be the one that breaks it! :) TIA Dianne -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

If I use File New From template, or use the template button on the toolbar, I get the old version.

I know that any day now I'm going to forget, and edit and save it, overwriting the template. :( So why is my templates dialogue box loading an old version?

Perhaps they haven't looked at the GCSE curriculum - I've been a computer-holic for almost 40 years, and it sent me into a coma of boredom!

My daughter had 5 IT teachers in one year - one took their coursework to Australia when he left, so she got very low marks. The next year I told her brother to email his coursework to me from school - needless to say, he didn't bother, the system crashed, no backup, no coursework, he too got very low marks. For my third child, it was very much a case of You've got a free period - go and teach GCSE IT! And this was in a school which is one of the very best in our town, and which I'd recommend to anyone - except for IT.

[Bug 593367] Re: evolution crashed with SIGSEGV in get_glyph_items_in_range()
Evo is crashing several times a week, each time with a different message. Often I'm on another desk, so all I see is the evolution has closed box and the apport reporting box. When I am actually using evo during a crash, I can usually tell it's about to happen as it responds extremely slowly - as I delete emails, the are shown with strikethrough rather than disappearing straight away. When I am using it, it's always just to read emails - I rarely use the calendar or switch to contacts view. Apport seems to have filed my other crash reports at Bugzilla, eg https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619179 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #619179 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619179 -- evolution crashed with SIGSEGV in get_glyph_items_in_range() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/593367 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Has anyone tried the ITV Player in Firefox in Lucid? I can play pre-watershed items, but others give another flash window which lets me choose whether I want a PIN or not. Whichever option I choose, it tells me my security settings don't allow me to store flash cookies, and do I want to modify them. Again, whether I choose yes or no makes no difference.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] web hosting recommendation
I've used www.byethost.com (that's not a typo!) for four years - five sites on free hosting, and one on paid. I've found their uptime reliable, and speed good. Support is good even for free hosting as they have a very active forum at http://byet.net/index.php where you can often find the answer without resorting to tech support. When I have had to contact them they've answered quickly and with useful info. Paid hosting is on a monthly basis - you don't need to sign up for 12 months or more.

I'm confused - I've read about the min/max/close buttons being moved, and I was quite happy, soon got used to it. But I changed to another theme and they're back on the right.
