[ubuntu-uk] Brother P-touch 1230 labelling machine

2012-01-30 Thread Mark Fraser 
Lidl have the Brother P-touch 1230 labelling machine for £24.99 and it is 
possible to get it to work with Ubuntu by installing B-Label from here 
http://apz.fi/blabel/ .You will have to use alien to convert the rpm package 
to deb, but it seems to work fine.

[ubuntu-uk] Problem with pulseaudio that's really bugging me.

2012-01-30 Thread Hassan "Haz" Williamson 
Hi all,

I've been having this really annoying issue with pulseaudio for a while
now, whereby it will only work properly in "system-mode" i.e. by killing
pulseaudio after startup (due to it being hung) and running "sudo
pulseaudio --system". I can't seem to figure out what's going wrong, it's
clearly a malformed config file somewhere... I was wondering if someone
could help me? So far people recommended that I upgrade from 10.10 to
11.10... however that didn't really help except tell me that for some
reason jackd was installed somehow (which I've since removed, along with
all applications that required it)... I've posted it up on
askubuntu.combelow. Hope you guys can help, because I've tried
fiddling around with
everything that I can think of so far with no joy :(.

*Some* context is necessary to follow the thread.

Secondly, doesn't any half-decent modern email client collapse text
you've read before?

Dunno   I've used Evolution quite recently and am now using
Thunderbird simply as the Ubuntu default client.  Neither of these seem
to do anything like you've mentioned, and honestly, with a client that
doesn't do something like that, having to scroll down through pages of
regurgitated stuff in order to see anything new is annoying - and you
never need to see the last three or four contributions to the thread to
pick up context.  If you've been following a thread, the last posting is
normally enough context.  Example: isn't the context I've quoted above
adequate?

Regards,Barry.

[ubuntu-uk] downloading images from a mac email

Is it simply linking to images hosted externally?




Do not think so: because I have evolution configured to block web images
but these I can see them as part of the email.

I have now gone to google web mail and I can download all the images and I
see a preview. But hotmail (my mother inlaw uses that)  does not offer the
option to download all. In fact it does not offer the option to download at
all. I have to rightclick on each image as if it was a hosted externally.

No worries. I guess not many people have this problem so it might be
something I have missconfigured at my end. I'll try with thunderbird. if
web gmail can do it. then it must be some box i have miss ticked

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Asterisk and getting a SIP number

2012-01-30 Thread bouncysteve 
I've got a giffgaff sim
which supposedly
gives me unlimited data for £10, and spurred on by this post
on 
gigaom.comabout
SIP being a viable main phone number I thought I'd give it a try.

Does anyone have any recommendations of i) a tutorial for simple Asterisk
setup ii)providers of SIP numbers? I don't really make many outgoing calls,
so I just want a cheap deal that will give me a fixed number for incoming
calls that won't cost much for non-SIP uk users to call.

Thanks,

Steve

Get trixbox from fonality.com/trixbox, it's an Asterisk distribution which
should install on a PC or virtual machine . However, you don't need to run
Asterisk to get a SIP number, just an account with a good provider and
Ekiga.

I got a local number from sipgate.co.uk. I have a Cisco 7940 phone on my 
desk which rings when someone uses that number. Works a treat :) Of 
course I can also use it when out and about but I don't really see the 
point of that when I get so many minutes bundled with my phone.
