Hi,

I am in Mumbai. I can download the ISO. It is no problem. But it would have
been nice if I were able to give out official Ubuntu CDs at the Ubuntu
Release Party to be held on Wednesday in Mumbai. Thanks for the suggestion.

Best Regards,
Rigved Rakshit

Maybe your user account has a different UID from what the liveCD uses.

You can can copy them over as root. If you are copying from the command line,
prefix the command with sudo.

That is absolutely not what "this is project time for students." implies.

err what link ? where?

The DPG-LUG Summer Training program took months of effort and getting 
volunteers to
prepare modules in advance and spare time every day to train the students and
the students themselves attending various modules they were interested in.

Such programs don't happen just my shooting a mail and asking for a "list of
names". Someone needs to actively take responsibility for the program and run
it. Otherwise it'll be a disservice to both the students and the FOSS
community as I pointed out in my original mail.

Doing a fresh install over the broken partition should fix it.
Care has to be taken that Format check-box should not be checked
for the partition which is marked as /

The installer can find out your /home directory and it won't touch it.

Rigved. Are you in Bangalore? If yes, then I can provide the ISOs.

Anyone who wants Oneiric ISOs can contact me via this list. Sadly
I don't have a CD Drive and use USB flash drives to install the OS.

Looks like your system is not update. I mean the apt index.

There is an application named apt-offline which does all your
* apt-get update
* apt-get upgrade
* apt-get install
operations. So you can update your apt database, upgrade packages and
install new packages using it. You can try it out. Right now the command
line version is well suited even though there is a UI (which doesn't work
very well).

You might want to get apt-offline package the first time how you are getting
packages right now. Then  you can read the man page to understand.

I know I should recommend GUI apps, but I have always used apt-offline
and it works pretty well. If you have any problems, please get back.
