Subject: Kubuntu Council Status/Elections

Getting elections set up has taken longer than we thought, so rather than lose 
half the council membership this week, the KC has decided the existing members 
whose terms are about to expire should be extended three weeks to give time to 
prepare an election.

People who've considered running for Kubuntu Council in the past should be 
considering it again.  It is mosts certainly not just for developers.  Any 
Kubuntu member is eligible to run.

Scott K

P.S. On that note, I'd appreciate it if someone who's subscribed to the user 
list would forward this there.

Not too clear on what you want.

You can save sessions and the usual with an browser you can save files 
from a web page.

Each user has his own ~/.mozilla directory.
If your intention is to have another user using the .mozilla of another 
user you would have to copy it across to that user's home directory as 
root and change ownership as root.

The idea is that every user has his own environment and access is only 
allowed to that user, root or any others as defined in users in /etc/group.
# grep users /etc/group
users:x:100:
If users are added to that group then may be they can have access to 
read and write to another user's files but I have no tried it.
e.g
users:x:100:fred,tim,danny

Minitube Problem

Howdy folks;

I got, "Minitube", a few hours ago, and since then I've
been giving mkdir some exercize, while trying to figure
it out.

It's supposed to be a way of watching youtube videos
without a lot of the overhead, or using flash to do it.

When it comes up, it shows some video thumbnails down
the left side of the screen, and they jump around a
little, but thats about all that happensm except for
the error mesage:

Phonon error: "The file or folder www.youtube.com does
not exist." 1

Anyone got a clue?

Bill

Chromium daily builds

Apache2 ???

Howdy folks;

Does anyone know if apache2 comes with some sort of,
"site/webpage builder", software, or is there something
different, (external to apache2), for that?

Bill

Kmail2 is snappy here....  when its running.  But it might crash 4 times in 5 
mins - - sometimes as soon as you restart it - - and then it might run for an 
hour or two.  And it has other severe problems with filters, folders, etc.

They really did a number on it...  and I would think there would have been 
some fixes coming by now.  I went through the long process of detailing a 
crash including installing a bunch of debug stuff and when I got to the final 
stage, I found out my problem was a dupe of many others.  So I won't do that 
again.

Not sure how long I will deal with the issues.

I have all the desktop search stuff enabled, which might be your problem.  Try 
increasing the memory used under "advanced settings" of desktop search.

[precise]: how to get kontact working?

kontact worked OK in oneiric.

Following an "upgrade" to precise, what happens is that on the GUI interface I
get a message:

Personal Information Management system is starting

and after about 30 seconds this changes to:

The Akonadi personal information management service is not operational

While this is happening, on the console I get this mess:

Refraining with some difficulty from a rant, I simply ask...

How do I get kontact to work in precise?

I have many hundreds of contacts, as well as my calendar sitting inside
kontact somewhere, and I don't know how to get to them.

If someone has a non-KDE-specific suggestion for a PIM I'd be happy to
entertain suggestions so I don't find myself in this situation again.
