Just wanted to point out that the non-free stuff installed during installation is not the same as ubuntu-restricted-extras. This will have to be installed separately. If you are wondering what is the difference, it is as such: ubuntu-restricted-extras has more packages (codecs etc.) than the ones installed via the installation process. Regards, Rigved Rakshit

Ubuntu 11.04 First Impressions
by Rony 14 May '11

14 May '11

Hello, I tried out the Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit edition on my system and was amazed at the new UI. It looks like a mix of Android, Apple and Ubuntu-Netbook-Edition. The developers have thoughtfully eliminated the horizontal bars and put the menu vertically on the left had side. Nowadays with monitors short in height but stretched wide, there is surplus space on the vertical sides. There is this new Libre-Office. I wonder if there is some dispute with OOo? The Apple like feature is the permanent menu bar that adapts into the open application's menu bar and back after the application is closed. As time permits, I will install it in my system. -- Freedom is a shared resource. Take some, leave the rest for others. Please trim your replies. Avoid cross posting to other lists.

[commercial] python/django training
by Kenneth Gonsalves 12 May '11

12 May '11

hi, there is a large demand for python/django programmers, and I am getting constant requests for candidates. I had tried to interest some institutes in training, but most of them are unprofessional and provide mere theoretical knowledge. Companies that need django developers have to spend too much time training their recruits. The recruits lack the all round skills in development and deployment that are the hall mark of a modern web programmer. I have decided to offer training in a live environment which will produce people who can 'hit the ground running'. The programme will be flexible, tuned to the individual needs. This means that the course can run from one month (minimum) up to 3 months. Again depending on the trainee, it will be both on location and remote. The location is Ooty, and accommodation will be provided/arranged. As an introductory offer, the charge will be 25K - and a job is guaranteed for anyone who passes. Prerequisites - some knowledge of programming and web development. More important, the ability to work hard and the desire to learn new things. Please contact me off list. -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com Coimbatore LUG rox http://ilugcbe.techstud.org/

Re-Introduction to DebBundle project
by Narendra Sisodiya 06 May '11

06 May '11

If you have Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit and do not have vlc on it. then you can download this 24MB package - http://code.google.com/p/debbundle/downloads/detail?name=vlc.x86_64.OneClic… and just give a one click, it will it install vlc on your system So, how I have done it, Here it the full story.. Problem - How to install Software package on a Linux System when it do not have Internet ? I know there are multiple solution to this problem.. Here I am giving one very solution which looks perfect to solve the problem you can down the script from http://code.google.com/p/debbundle/ What this little script will do.. For example, your system do not have vlc , then you can go to other system which has Internet and then run the script . Script will produce VLC.i386.OneClickInstall , You can can carry this file to anywhere and then install it by just clicking it. Let me repeat, Just by clicking it, neither you terminal , nor you need any extra software to install it. So enjoy it and give me feedback. ( narendra AT narendrasisodiya DOT com ) read more at - http://blog.narendrasisodiya.com/2011/05/how-to-install-software-package-on… <http://blog.narendrasisodiya.com/2011/05/how-to-install-software-package-on…> Script will only download the files which are needed on a given system. But the OneClickInstall Bundles will created on a centralized manner on a freshly installed Ubuntu/Debian. What I am exactly doing ? I am basically reproducing the beauty of "D: Drive" which almost every windows user has. For example when I was in BTech, I never used Internet but Still I did many installation and re-installation of Windows where everytime I use to go to D:\Software folder to make few clicks to install all other software. {I was not aware of GNU/Linux at my BTech. please excuse me} There are still many many user exist who do not have Internet and this solution will help them a lot. Also, My intention is to create a 3GB bundle from this script which will cover almost every daam COMMOM software for normal user. I hope you got my intension behind this. Last year , I did the same, instead of creating this 3GB oneclickbundle, I create "iso" with lots of customizations. Its called SchoolOS. those who used it, just loved it. But unfortunate people took it as different OS and hesitated to installed SchoolOS. There is no momentum in SchoolOS project from last 4 months. I hope, people will love this solution. I am trying to solve all common problem which normal user face. For example, In SchoolOS , I compiled list of command-line operations which normal user do, and then I created nautilus script to do same thing from GUI.. Well this solution is not for user who can run command line "apt-get install ...", its for them who want to install it using just ONE CLICK. There will not be any dependency problem WHY - ? because I am creating these bundles on freshly installed system. I am no going to Install anything on this system. So I am minimum number of packages on my system which you will be having. Let me repeat again. Step 1) Install Ubuntu Step 2) Click on this 3GB bundle and this will install almost all software which you ( office guy, programmer, engineer, students) need. I might create smaller package something like 600MB and so too. Checkout the LOG for VLC - http://gist.github.com/958318 Someone with higher bandwidth can also use it. Nothing wrong it 2 step process. you will eventually create some software bundle which might be useful to you in future or different machine.. For a sample, Try installing one click installation of VLC - http://code.google.com/p/debbundle/downloads/detail?name=vlc.x86_64.OneClic… -- ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ Narendra Sisodiya │ http://narendrasisodiya.com └─────────────────────────┘
