The problem is that after so much of realease of kde 4.3 , it is still not updating it or giving me an an option to do.. So, i m stuck with a buggy kde 4.2.2 Is that true that canonical still doesn't support kde 4.3 PS: my apt package list is up to date with constant updates ....so no problem there -- Pratik Anand B.Tech - CSE (2nd year) Blog: pratik3d.blogspot.com Twitter: twitter.com/pratikone

Troubleshooting Guide For GNU/Linux Newbies
by Rony 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Hello, Whenever you face a problem with software or hardware in Linux, before you post your message to the list, follow some simple practices that may help you solve the problem on your own. Firstly, imagine yourself as a service provider who is on-site at the client's place and except for a working internet connection, you have no other resources available to seek help for your problem. All phones are dead, your mobile battery is out of charge, and the list members have retired for the day so you will not get any help for 24 hours. With these limitations you have to solve the problem in the same visit. Crosscheck:- This is a very powerful yet simple method to start isolating possible faulty conditions. If you have a piece of hardware that is not working on your system, try this hardware on another system or try another hardware on the same system. If you have software ( and hardware ) related problems then search google for people who have had similar problems with the same software. Nowadays every major Linux distro has its own guide / instructions / blogs pages for setting it up on popularly available branded hardware like laptops, netbooks etc. You simply need to put in the correct 'key words' in google to look for answers to your queries. Therefore, if you bought a new laptop or netbook and cannot get its sound or LAN or wireless or camera or card-reader etc. working, look for websites that have full instructions on how to install your choice of distro on that particular model of hardware. Remember the fact that we are a little behind in technology so before us someone else has already faced this problem and all we need to do is look out for that person on google. Only after you have exhausted all your resources on google, should you post a message on this list. When you do so, please add some history to it and let the list know what steps you took to cross check this problem in every possible way. -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

problem with kde 4.3 update
by Pratik Anand 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

i know that Ubuntu 9.10 is out there. But 9.04 is still supported. And it has been released recently while kde 4.3 is there for a long time when the latest version of Ubuntu was 9.04 only. Why didn't it asked for update to kde 4.3 then.... -- Pratik Anand B.Tech - CSE (2nd year) Blog: pratik3d.blogspot.com Twitter: twitter.com/pratikone

jerkiness in video on using phonon on windows
by Kunal Lagwankar 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Hi, We are subclassing QIODevice to pass audio-video data to a custom parser (a Directshow filter implementation) using Phonon. Phonon creates a graph that includes the custom parser and corresponding audio-video decoders and rendering filters. The custom parser internally separates audio and video, which is then decoded and rendered. When this sequence is played, jerkiness is observed periodically (spaced every 2-3 seconds). By video jerkiness, I mean that previous frame is again rendered causing a break in continuous viewing. It is important to note that there is no break in audio. When the same file with the custom format is drag-n-dropped in to Graphedit, it automatically creates a pipeline and renders audio-video data satisfactorily (meaning no jerkiness and in audio-video synchronization). From this, we have concluded that the directshow filters by themselves do not have any bug and perform correctly. We are unable to figure out why this behaviour is observed on using phonon in windows. Any help/suggestions in this matter will be appreciated. Thanks. Kunal

Youtelecom broadband on linux
by Philip Tellis 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Hi guys, I had set up my dad's laptop running Ubuntu to connect to Youtelecom broadband using pppoe. Everything has been running fine for many years and suddenly on Saturday it stopped working. It connects to the net and immediately disconnects. The Youtelecom support guys are unable to help as none of them know anything about linux and I'm on the other side of the world so unless he can actually connect to the Internet, there's nothing much I can do to debug the issue. I wanted to know if anyone else is on youtelecom and has seen this problem in the last few days. Any suggestions will help. Thanks, Philip -- hello world

external drive problem in ubuntu
by Kussh Singh 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Am using ubuntu 9.04 on a desktop. Have also tried with ubuntu 8.10 and 9.10. System is unable to detect and connect to a USB external drive--make is seagate, capacity is 250 GB, model is called freeagent. Have also tried the device in windows7 where it is also not detected. The external drive can be felt to be running as its whirring sound can be felt. Also it glows from the top due to some LEDs which shine thru holes on the top of the drive's cover. There is only one USB connector cable which acts both as a power supply cable and a data cable. Generally USB devices when plugged in are detected instantly but this is not the case here. I have also installed pmount etc without any success. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Kussh
