Re: [ubuntu-art] Ubuntu DVD Packaging Artwork - Getting Close to Final
A bit of color depth is now added. So it's a bit darker overall now. I think it looks more dynamic now, compared to last one. And a little bit of noise effect is now added for those who requested it. :) But it's only temporary playing. I think I will remove it in final version. :) Here it is: http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/8131/ubuntupictogramstyledvd.png -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

I can't see the point of the little live cd label. I store mostly alternate CDs or 2-in-1 DVDs, so that label is simply not true for me. And its location also seems unnatural to me. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Re: [ubuntu-art] Ubuntu DVD Packaging Artwork - Getting Close to Final
I waited for someone to notice that small live CD addon. Cause I'm burning all Linux ISOs to DVDs too. So actually there is no big point in that, except I wanted it to be more officialish, cause Ubuntu ISOs are always a CD releases (except alternative DVD edition which is very rarely used I think), not like recent Linux Mint for example. And when I'm printing this stuff for myself, I'm always putting live DVD or simply 32-bit. I think it will be removed from the final version, and maybe replaced with live DVD or 32-bit, or with nothing at all. About placement, it is placed exactly on the upper virtual edge, like side Ubuntu logo, and back tab. And on the right side, it is lined with main title tab edge too, so if someone have some suggestion where to place it, I'm open for it. To me this current placement seems logical. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] Edubuntu Wallpaper
Hi A few months back John Baer approacedh Edubuntu and offered some assitance in creating a wallpaper for Edubuntu. He helped us create the spec on the Ubuntu wiki[1], and since then, there have been a bunch of submissions on the Flickr group[2]. From the Edubuntu side we're happy to have received those submissions, but there weren't many submissions that fitted the specification well. We'll be happy to include some of those wallpapers in the system and feature them in the wallpaper chooser, and thank the contributors for their work. Martin Owens (doctormo) said that he's willing to put some dedicated work into an Edubuntu wallpaper and can do a few concepts and then iterations on them. This seems like a better approach than a competition and might work better for this release. John, can we close the current commission for wallpaper on the wiki and list the wallpapers chosen for inclusion? I know there's technically a month left on that spec's timelines, but I don't think we were that likely to receive much more submissions anyway. Thanks to everyone involved, I know this might be a bit of a sensitive issue but if anyone wants to talk to me about it, feel free to poke me. -Jonathan [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/0006_Edubuntu_Natty_Wallpaper [2] http://www.flickr.com/groups/uawt-6/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

I believe Martin did say that you suggested that to him, the problem was that he (and other artists that I spoke to before) explicitely don't want to participate in a competition. Do you think we should still make it a competition for the wallpapers currently submitted and perhaps only select 3 of them for inclusion on the disc? That way the most favourite submissions will at least get more exposure and we can blog about it, etc. Also, do you think that competition-style selections are the best way to do things like this? Do you know of any alternatives? It's something that we'll need to think about for future releases for sure, and it would be awesome if we could get it right. -Jonathan -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Ubuntu DVD Packaging Artwork - Getting Close to Final
2011/2/16 Pumpkin Lord eldis.des...@gmail.com About placement, it is placed exactly on the upper virtual edge, like side Ubuntu logo, and back tab. And on the right side, it is lined with main title tab edge too, so if someone have some suggestion where to place it, I'm open for it. To me this current placement seems logical. I think it makes the picture dis-balanced: the upper right corner looks visually heavy with this addition, and has no counterbalance. In addition, it breaks the obvious frame of the content zone created by consistent padding. I usually label my desktop edition CDs LiveCD, because alternate is not live and sever is server and doesn't have a livecd at all, so IMO it's better to use 32bit liveCD instead of 32bit desktop edition and get rid of any corner labels at all. Also I've finally figured out what's so annoying on the other side: circled Ubuntu logo, when put in another circle, looks stupefying. It's also visually heavier than Tux and GNOME logo the way it is now, so it doesn't look consistent with them. Hope this helps make an even better cover.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Edubuntu Wallpaper
Hi Jonathan, I think closing the contest now is not a good thing to do in a political sense. Announcing some deadline and then changing it or the rules is really discouraging. People must be sure of stability. They must be sure that the rules, specs and the deadline are fixed and won't be changed in the middle of the contest. They won't participate otherwise. (I know it very well, we have the same situation with business in our country). I saw several art competitions, and in all of them the number of submissions almost doubled during the last week before the deadline. That was outside the free software community, though. Also, I can't see why a contest and dedicated work can't go hand to hand. The dedicated work is out of competition by definition. Just reserve the place on the CD for it and let the contest go on. I also can't see the point of including just 3 wallpapers: Ubuntu shipped 18 with Maverick, and I don't think you have more strict size limit than Ubuntu.

Somehow, it's leftover from some old buggy OSs, to have that little 32-bit mark, or something, on the upper right corner, so i gues I should get rid of it. :) About back icons, that is something I'm not finished (and satisfied) with yet.

Pour ce qui est d'un défragmentateur sous Linux, je suis de l'avis que c'est inutile. On peut lire un disque NTFS et en récupérer les infos même quand Windows a du mal (pour référence, le magazine Capital dimanche dernier présentait LaCie qui récupère les données de ses clients par un simple copier-coller sous Nautilus alors que pour le client le disque devait être malade, bravo Windows) Ca c'est un vrai plus. Bonjour Cédric, Ton exemple démontre aussi qu'il ne manque pas grand-chose à Linux pour avoir un outil de défragmentation. Pour cohabiter avec Windows on a samba pour les partages (et pas besoin d'avoir une partition en NTFS encore heureux), je vois pas l'utilité de mettre une partition NTFS d'un disque interne ou un Linux écrit (le double boot c'est inutile à l'époque de la virtualisation démocratisée) J'ai un point de vue différent sur le sujet. Tous mes ordinateurs ont les deux systèmes et toutes mes données sont sur une partition de partage et en NTFS pour que les deux systèmes puissent les éditer. Pas de réseau local, question de compétences et de sécurités. Linux ne doit pas être la copie de ce qui existe sous Windows, ca doit être mieux, plus facile, plus joli et plus rapide. Pas besoin d'antivirus, pas besoin de défragmentateur dans la même optique c'est mieux que de dire oui on a un défragmenteur mais que pour les disques Windows les futurs convertis vont s'y perdre. Voilà Cédric Sous Linux, un outil de défragmentation au même titre qu'un antivirus, pas plus, pas moins.

Quelle taille de cluster à été utilisée? Il s'agit là d'une donnée essentielle qui peut grandement affecter les résultats. Bonjour Mathieu, C'est variable, car contrairement aux autres partitions, la partition d'échange en NTFS est déterminée par ce qui reste de libre après toutes les autres. Approximativement de 100 Go à 375 Go. Voici deux exemples avec les infos que me donne PartionManager et mount : Partition 375 Go, Cylindres : 60801, Secteurs : 63, Secteurs totaux : 976773168, Taille secteur : 512, Tailler de cylindre : 16,065, blksize=4096. Partition 169 Go, Cylindres : 30401, Secteurs : 63, Secteurs totaux : 488397168, Taille secteur : 512, Tailler de cylindre : 16,065, blksize=4096. Je ne suis pas sur de l'appellation, est-ce que mes « cluster » sont de 512 ou de 4096 ? [...] Mes partitions de partage des données sont fragmentées à au moins 60 % sur tous les systèmes ! J'ai utilisé PC-Cloneur 8 et Acronis True Image 2010 avec les mêmes résultats. Et s'agit-t-il de tout plein de petits fichiers, ou que des gros? Un mélange? C'est un très bon mélange de tous les formats, de 2 à 5 ISO de ±4 Go, 300 à 500 Vidéos de ±300 Mo et au minimum plus de 100,000 petites images png et autres fichiers de 1 à 10 Ko. À cela s'ajoutent toutes les tailles, mais en nombres moins significatifs. [...] J'ai fait d'innombrables essais et le dernier en cours est de formater un disque dur USB qui était en NTFS en ext4 pour détruire complètement la table d'allocation des fichiers, pour ensuite la reformater en NTFS et y copier les dossiers et fichiers de ma partition de partage des données (Windows-Linux) avec GRsync (entre 3 et 7 heures de transfère selon l'ordi.). Si cela ne fonctionne pas, je pense formater sur disque USB, ma partition de partage NTFS en Ext4 temporairement, y copier les dossiers et fichiers et avec GParted ou PartionManager, recréer la table de partions NTFS de synchronisation d'un disque d'un ordinateur, mais tout cela est très lourd et prend énormément de temps et de ressources. Ce n'est vraiment pas pratique. En principe, ca devrait fonctionner plus ou moins bien, mais il y aura toujours un certain niveau de fragmentation. En partie à cause de ce que j'ai mentionné plus haut, mais aussi par le design du système de fichier, de la taille des fichiers, etc. À ne pas oublier que les systèmes d'accès NTFS sont créés à partir des spécifications du système de fichiers fournies par Microsoft, et donc, entièrement à la merci de l'exactitude de ces spécifications. ... J'ai arrêté d'utiliser True Image, pour tenter d'isoler le problème et il semble quand partie, il faisait partie du problème. J'ai utilisé « contigu.exe » pour défragmenter les plus gros fichiers et les plus fractionnés. Pour mes derniers tests je n'utilisais que GRSync, PartionManager ou GParted pour la création de la table de partition et le formatage en NTFS, donc le tout était fait sous Linux Kubuntu 10.10 32 bits. Actuellement, pour une même partition, l'analyse Windows XP me donne 4 % de fragmentation et l'analyse Windows 7 me donne 2 %. Dans tous les cas, Windows 7 me donne 50 % moins de pourcentage de fractionnement. Sous les 10 % de fractionnement, cela ne me cause pas de soucis. Une autre partie du problème, mais qui n'était pas liée à celui de la fragmentation, mais à l'intégrité de mes données transférées provenait de la configuration de GRSync. Voici mes configurations de RSync (avec ou sans GRSync) : #!/bin/bash rsync -r -t -p -o -g -x -v --progress --delete -l -D -i --stats / /media/SG320-sda3/ # Partition Ext3 Racines. rsync -r -t -p -o -g -x -v --progress --delete -l -D -i --stats /home/ /media/SG320-sda5/ # Partition Ext3 Homes. rsync -r -t -x -v --progress --delete --modify-window=1 -l -D -i --stats /home/rene/sda6/ /media/SG320-sda6/ # Partition NTFD Données. rsync -r -t -x -v --progress --delete --modify-window=1 -l -D -i --stats /home/rene/sda1/ /media/SG320-sda1/ # Partition NTFD Windows. # Remplacement des paramètres de la version courte à la version longue (ex. : « -r » est remplacé par « --recursive ») : #rsync --recursive --times --perms --owner --group --one-file-system --verbose --progress --delete --links --devices --itemize-changes --stats / /media/SG320-sda3/ J'ai testé et vérifié le bon fonctionnement dans les deux sens et toujours sous Linux (en exportation et en importation) et à chaud (système en cours d'utilisation) et le tout fonctionnent parfaitement, l'intégrité des données et l'intégrité des systèmes d'exploitations Linux et Windows 7 et XP.

I'm having a few issues with that (transport/money/etc), but hopefully everything will run smoothly in the end. I have a few projects I would like to start at some point, but it will have to wait until I really have the time to devote to them. Who knows, maybe some of you may even join me one day :). Especially since I would like them to be open-sourced so that everyone can benefit from them. I'll spare you all the details of my life, and will end by saying that I hope to speak/see you guys around sometime and hope that I can contribute something as best I can to the lovely community we are all part of.

I'm not moving huge files around but some are a good few MB in size and a the cluttered directory structure I use accompanied with the large amount of small files just don't seem to be suited as it can take an absolute age for the browser based version of Ubuntu One to correspond to what my local folder contains once I have moved something around or added to the folder. - Spider Oak It seemed ideal at first as I study at University, Spider Oak boasts that it will automatically backup my files each time I save and keep a copy for me at no cost to my storage limit, excellent? Not quite, the backup of the files is true but the use of space is not, and I have already run out of my allowance. You can download the files from their site, but you cannot then upload!? - odd. (well, it seems odd to me anyway?) The uploads/syncing also seems to be a lot quicker than One. - Sky Drive/Live Mesh (I know it's a bit taboo talking about MS here, apologies in advance) The best I have tried in my opinion, fast syncing uploads, didn't seem to be doing a huge about in the background wasting resources and the Sky Drive also comes with 25GB of online storage, The drive can also be mounted to windows so it seems like a standard drive. shame it can't be ran on Ubuntu as I have recently made the permanent 'switch' and abandoned Windows all together.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Preferred online storage solution?
Doh! Al, you beat me to it! Dave, I use Dropbox too. Again, like Al said earlier main reason is because I can sync up with various different O/S's and also my android phone. Web interface is great too when you don't have access to any of your machines (e.g. at a friends house, and wanted to show them something). I find the revert to older version feature great too, and unlike Spider Oak, doesn't actually use up your allocated space - which is great. You don't know how many times that has saved me! And yeah, you start up at 2GB, and slowly can get up to 2.5GB if you follow the tour at the start - and can get even more if you refer it to other people. It integrates nicely in Ubuntu and Windows, and I do believe they use to have a portable app too (not sure if it's still being updated however!).

The uploads/syncing also seems to be a lot quicker than One. - Sky Drive/Live Mesh (I know it's a bit taboo talking about MS here, apologies in advance) The best I have tried in my opinion, fast syncing uploads, didn't seem to be doing a huge about in the background wasting resources and the Sky Drive also comes with 25GB of online storage, The drive can also be mounted to windows so it seems like a standard drive. shame it can't be ran on Ubuntu as I have recently made the permanent 'switch' and abandoned Windows all together. So that concludes my (very) shortlist and my experiences, And as I say I'm particularly keen to find out what everyones preferred online storage solution is and why. Thanks Everybody. No-one's mentioned Googledocs - certainly the cheapest option (£5 per anuum) for 20GB apart from Skydrive. OO and LO also have an extension that allows you to open and save documents directly from Googledocs...No synching or automated backup though. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Preferred online storage solution?
My preference is Dropbox because of the multiple applications which allow me to sync Ubuntu, Windows, Windows Mobile (do not use any more) and Android with each other, along with the ability to create a custom link to specific files for sharing out. With the Dropbox sync, all data is encrypted in the Amazon cloud but it is intelligent enough to know if the same file already exists on the server and not need to upload this. The latest desktop clients also have lansync and selective sync functionality to reduce WAN overhead. The downside is the 2Gb free space but so far I have only needed just over 1Gb.

[ubuntu-uk] Test drive and V-Box ..
Hi there Someone (was it you Alan C?) suggested TestDrive as an easy way of doing regular tests on the Alpha Natty. I've been trying TestDrive with VirtualBox as the engine. Nice idea! BUT, behaviour is very different from running a CD. At the moment, I have the well reported problem with Compiz/Unity not being compatible with Nouveau. Now, if I boot from the CD, I can see the Unity interface, but there are a few known problems, and it's easy to crash Compiz. If I run the same ISO through TestDrive, Compiz crashes at boot time, and Natty defaults to the Gnome desktop. Any thoughts? Incidentally, I love the Unity desktop (Barry dons tin-hat).

@Neil, It only downloads the files as you select them. However I don't think it permanently stays on your device - it sort of gets cached on access and then purged away after x days I think. I usually use an file explorer of some sort and move them to a more permanent location if needed. @Dave, Thanks :).

Re: Byobu no longer installed by default?
Hey Corey, Corey Burger [2011-02-15 15:10 -0800]: I noticed that Byobu is no longer installed by default. Is this a conscious decision and is the size of byobu so big that its space is required by something else? It was a conscious decision (we dropped screen), as screen/byobu aren't that important to have in the default desktop installation, and both together save ~ 0.7 MB.

[...] screen/byobu aren't that important to have in the default desktop installation is there a general definition for what exactly qualifies an application to deserve the title important? According to your statement, a definition might be found behind the word default desktop installation. So i guess everything that goes beyond having a working Desktop Environment is also not important, correct?

Re: Shall we hide the GUI for Hibernate in Natty?
Il giorno lun, 31/01/2011 alle 11.04 -0800, Rick Spencer ha scritto: Hello all, This email is to get some feedback and discussion about an idea under consideration for Ubuntu in Natty. Natty is currently NOT showing the Hibernate option in the list of shutdown choices. This is currently an experiment, but I thought it might be worth discussing the pros and cons on these lists as well. The reasoning for hiding Hibernate includes: 1. It doesn't work well for many users on many machines. This is partly true: it has improved a lot in recent times... 2. It's very slow. True, unfortunately true. But this is valid just for the standard kernel hibernation. Using TuxOnIce would improve a *lot* the usability and speed. Until something like TuxOnIce would be in the kernel, the hibernation is completely useless, if not damaging (sometimes ubuntu in low battery starts hibernating and it takes many minutes to perform the task, while it's impossible to stop the process!). 3. It's not as useful because users can just suspend. Mh, not true... Suspending is useful, but sometimes I really need to hibernate (i.e. remove laptop battery, keep it away from AC for long time...). 4. The difference between hibernate and suspend is confusing. True. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
Package post-install notification methods?
Hello, I received quite a few helpful suggestions about how one could partially solve the problem I describe below so I am more confused than if there were only one way to do it :) For an ARM blueprint [1] concerning updating boot firmware on certain boards, one of the requirements is to notify users when a new bootloader package is installed. These binary packages (u-boot and/or x-loader) get installed on the system but they have no effect on the booting unless the files they contain are copied to a boot partition. This copying is not automatic and not part of the package via a dpkg hook because it is a potentially dangerous operation. However users should be notified that the possibility exists and that they can flash the new firmware using flash-kernel. The question is how to present this notification to the user so that * it works both in X and in headless images * it is simple and involves a minimum number of package and system file changes :) I was suggested motd-update, jockey, update-manager hooks and debconf notes so far. I find the debconf way the least intrusive but I worry that few packages use such notes and it is only for important use-cases. Such firmware updates do not happen frequently, if ever, in a stable release, as only bugfixes that cannot otherwise be worked around in kernel or userland are targeted. thank you Jani [1] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-arm-n-handle-core-boot-files-update -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel

Edubuntu Wallpaper
Hi A few months back John Baer approacedh Edubuntu and offered some assitance in creating a wallpaper for Edubuntu. He helped us create the spec on the Ubuntu wiki[1], and since then, there have been a bunch of submissions on the Flickr group[2]. From the Edubuntu side we're happy to have received those submissions, but there weren't many submissions that fitted the specification well. We'll be happy to include some of those wallpapers in the system and feature them in the wallpaper chooser, and thank the contributors for their work. Martin Owens (doctormo) said that he's willing to put some dedicated work into an Edubuntu wallpaper and can do a few concepts and then iterations on them. This seems like a better approach than a competition and might work better for this release. John, can we close the current commission for wallpaper on the wiki and list the wallpapers chosen for inclusion? I know there's technically a month left on that spec's timelines, but I don't think we were that likely to receive much more submissions anyway. Thanks to everyone involved, I know this might be a bit of a sensitive issue but if anyone wants to talk to me about it, feel free to poke me. -Jonathan [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/0006_Edubuntu_Natty_Wallpaper [2] http://www.flickr.com/groups/uawt-6/ -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
