Hi,

Maybe this is not the appropriate area for this post... however, I could not find a better one. So, here goes:

I would like to limit the CPU usage for a user, say that he/she should be...

I would also like to see Sylpheed 2 in Ubuntu!

However, it has yet to enter Breezy (a quick look at the Ubuntu packages gave version 1.0.4 for Breezy). In other words, if I have understood...

This happened to me as well: when I tried to install acroread earlier today, I was promted with the old version (i.e., 5 instead of 7). Just like you I had updated my sources, which do include the...

I'll second that --- nice tip for us who always forget to manually check for updates! Also, as for now, I'm only using Skype for telephony, via SkypeOut and SkypeIn. So far so good ... :)

"Xdefaults", despite the name, doesn't exist per default. As a matter of fact we don't want it either! The proper choiche is rather "Xresources" (apparently this goes for Debian based systems)....

I haven't tried it yet, and perhaps I won't (my Wine works quite nicely as it is), but they seem to have Ubuntu repositories as well? I tested

deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ hoary/

in my...

Thanks for the tip! Now I'm using Vico's dyche2 style, which looks great to me, when running xboard. One small detail: if changing style make sure to create the configuration file ".Xresources"...

OK, I'll try! (Actually, there will be no real installation, since this procedure only creates an executable to run.)

I did like this:

1) Download the source package

Go to...

Would it be possible to backport "knights" from Breezy (universe; 0.6-3build1), even though it is not part of Hoary? (knights is a KDE chess interface.) If so that would be great!

About your programs:

1) Knights I think is a KDE application. It is not to find in Hoary, but under Breezy it exists. Perhaps we could ask for a backport?

2) Crafty is not part of any Ubuntu...

Well, I got Fritz and Shredder up and running just the other day, by installing the backport packages (wine, libwine, winetools). Then I configured wine using winetools (which I had not done before)....

I use it on almost a daily basis and would like to see the 1.8 version... ;-)

Thanks --- your (globalspace) howto worked nicely on my Acer Ferrari 3000 laptop with a Motorola V525 cell phone!

Sounds great! :)

Does this have any (good) implications on the version update once Breezy is out?

I recall going from Warty to Hoary required some handling (besides the usual "apt-get dist-upgrade") concerning...

shiv:

OK... but somehow you've got to install Chessbase and Fritz? I mean simply copying a Windows folder can't be sufficient? Doesn't Windows spread the files all over the system? Perhaps I...

I used to have Thunderbird going, but tried out Pine, and then switched to Evolution as I got Ubuntu. Mainly this was due to Evolution being the default mail application in Ubuntu. Also, it has a...

I tried this yesterday and it all worked out fine: registered at VMware's homepage, got the evaluation license per mail, downloaded and installed vmvare using the perl script (after making sure the...

I use Crafty and YACE for analysis in SCID, together with eboard for online chess (FICS, ICC). For now I am using Crafty 19.19 compiled from source (quite easy to set up). It can be fetched from
...

nehalem:

Thanks for this nice howto! It worked nice for me under Hoary, the only thing being I had sound issues, both on the stationary machine and on the laptop. However, they were resolved using...

Gandalf:

Just wanted to say that your HOWTO worked for me too. Thanks! :)

At first it didn't work for me either --- but now it does:

I switched to active mode, set the UDP/TCP traffic to go through port 9176, and opened that one up in Firestarter (my firewall). Also I...

Hi,

Under SuSE I had a /var/log/apt.log file which showed my what packages had been installed or removed, i.e., like the "History" in Synaptic. Is there such a log file in Ubuntu as well, and if...

"play %s" worked out fine for me, whilst "artsplay %s" did not (got no sound at all when clicking "Test"). Maybe the proper choice depends on some other global system sound setting. However, you...

Thanks jonny!

It worked perfect on my Acer Ferrari 3000 laptop. Had to "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" after login, for wlan0 to show up as a selectable option in Gnome (i.e. under the network...
