Re: [ubuntu-uk] (no subject)

Have a look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and check that in the "Device" section the driver is set to "via". Unfortunately your graphics card isn't very linux friendly. You can get a second hand nVidia card (GeForce 2 or above) cheaply on eBay. That might help your video problems. Your processor is 32b

Edgy release party? Why do you think they're putting on the Linuxworld Expo? It's one big party and everyone's invited :-) Alan Pope wrote: > Hi, > > After seeing a posting on planet ubuntu, I wondered if anyone in the UK was > planning an Ubuntu release party. Not that I've been to any before, w

I'm assuming your cable box is connected to the s-video or composite port on your tv card, in which case you dont need to scan the channels, just set the channel to s-video or composite. The cable box should contain the channel list and decode the channels etc. STONE COLD wrote: > Ok People im

That's fine. I have a freeview box running through my analogue tv card and kdetv. STONE COLD wrote: > It is an analogue tv card but its hooked up to a cable box...not an > aerial! > > does that make any difference? > > >> From: Adam Bagnall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]&g

Re: [ubuntu-uk] (no subject)

If it's an analogue tv card and not a freeview one then a very simple program for tv viewing is kdetv. It's in the repositories. STONE COLD wrote: > Hi fellow Ubuntu users! > > I have a few questions about Ubuntu. Hopefully someone out there will > be able to help! > > Im a total newb to the gr8

[ubuntu-uk] Women, LinuxWorld, Stuff

I was thinking earlier that as far as I'm aware the LoCoTeam has no female members. There must be some women in the UK who use Ubuntu? I've posted in the Ubuntu women section on the Ubuntu forums to see if I can generate any interest. I'm sure some of you have converted wives/friends/sister

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Flash's LED Stays On. (Was: ubuntu-uk Digest, Vol 17, Issue 2)

The light stays on using my USB drive under Ubuntu, but goes off under windows so it's not just you with this behaviour. Even with the light staying on I think it would be good for a popup message saying the device is safe to remove as you get in windows. It should be fairly simple to implement

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Networking

Try entering: sudo smbpasswd -a yourUsernameHere That command should enter you into the samba password file so you can log in. There is more information in the smbpasswd man page. Alternatively you can edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and change the line security=user to security=sha
