[ubuntu-uk] Software Freedom Day Bracknell 2008
I have registered a SFD event for Bracknell for 2008. Last years event was a success and I hope to do even more this year. I would be delighted if anyone can help - you will be very welcome. Please let me know? http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/europe/uk/ubuntu-uk/bracknell -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 Linux user #360648 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Home folder
Hi, I use a Linux only machine with two fairly large hard drives. Ubuntu is installed on one and Kubuntu on the other. On both distros I have separate partitions for my home folders. I mainly use Ubuntu. A couple of months ago the network/internet capability disappeared from Kubuntu and I was unable to fix it. Recently I decided that I would upgrade Kubuntu to 8.04 even though my experience on my laptop with Ubuntu has not been 100% successful. My thinking was that I would at least solve the network/internet problem. So I reinstalled Kubuntu 7.10 and upgraded via Adept. It seems to have gone pretty well except that I was obviously not paying enough attention during the partitioning dialogue. I have not lost the data on the separate partition but what used to be my home folder is now only seen as a separate drive. Is there any way I can change the situation so that it is recognised as the normal Home folder? Cheers, Keith. -- Keith Bowerman, Prestwood, south Staffordshire, England.

Or nothing has happened yet. :) The main change in circumstances is that there will now be a linux expo in London this autumn; I originally suggested the idea to fill in the gap left by the corporates. As it is, it will still be corporate, but there will be an .org village. There may also be a gllugfest in early october; GLLUG is the Greater London Linux Users Group. But we'll see what happens. I will probably be involved in that. Could I suggest that - in order for things not to stall as they did last time - we add ubucon uk to the agenda for the next ubuntu-uk meeting, and hold a face to face meeting about it at Linux Radio Live?

You should be able to amend /etc/fstab so a dedicated disk and/or partition can be mounted as /home.
