|
| April 2009 I went and installed Kubuntu on a spare partition. Lots of struggle.

| | |
| == Setup == | |
| I've maintained a dual-boot environment, so I mount my C: drive:
| |
| /dev/sda1 on /media/WindowsCdrive type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
| |
| | |
| == Notes on Kubuntu installation ==
| |
| | |
| === Boot from CD ===
| |
| * Should be a warning that test disk will require a reboot
| |
| | |
| === Install from CD ===
| |
| * The Kubuntu logo screen should say what it's doing.
| |
| *: "Now loading enough of the Kubuntu operating system and programs to provide you a graphic installer. (Nothing is yet being installed on your disks"
| |
| * Install progress bar got about 70% of the way then got some screen flickers and then over 30 seconds with a blank gray screen.
| |
| | |
| === In the installer ===
| |
| * The installer should remind me what the hell it is (AMD64 & Intel EM64T). That would help me in Ubuntu installation guide https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/ to choose the right "architecture of your computer"
| |
| | |
| ==== Release Notes and web ====
| |
| Running Konqueror to read the release notes is amazing!
| |
| | |
| * Clicking Release Notes takes me to http://www.kubuntu.org/news. But this has ''nothing'' about 9.04 release notes!! It has a news item on 9.04, but that's it.
| |
| | |
| * The news item ends with
| |
| *: What's New?
| |
| Kubuntu 9.04 includes an upgraded desktop containing many bug fixes, new configuration options, as well as many new and updated applications. Below are some highlights.
| |
| ''some white space''
| |
| Kubuntu Jaunty KDE 3 Remix Release Candidate
| |
| There's no indication that the item is truncated or that there's more info if I click the heading.
| |
| | |
| * In https://wiki.kubuntu.org/ , the [Titles] and [Text] buttons at the top right for search look funny, with rounded buttons over rectangles with lines. And if the tip of the cursor is on the button text, the button doesn't highlight and is inactive; the button only highlights if the cursor tip is in the top 1/3 of the button,
| |
| | |
| ==== Back to installer ====
| |
| * The full-screen "Where are you" is impressive. But when I click in the San Francisco Bay Area, it keeps selecting the timezone to the right of it! It seems to be picking the nearest city it knows about (Boise), rather than selecting that timezone. Quite confusing. If you're going to keep this approach, it should highlight the nearest cities as you hover, or always select the nearest city ''in the same timezone''. I can only select my timezone if I click far away near Vancouver or Los Angeles!!
| |
| | |
| * I chose my Keyboard Layout and clicked [Forward]. A small dialog about filesystems briefly flashed and [Back] and [Forward] disabled. Then nothing. My cursor is not spinning, and the page 3 is active, I can type into the test typing box. What happened??! After more than 50 seconds of this no feedback, it advanced to Step 4.
| |
| | |
| * In Step 4 I chose partition manually. A small Scanning partitions window appeared for several seconds (didn't it already display this earlier?) That box had a (?) symbol on it with a "Help" tooltip, but it is '''completely useless''', in this dialog and the next "Edit Partition" there's no
| |
| | |
| ==== Partitioning ====
| |
| I want to keep my first partition for Windows. I had already set aside a 27GB D: partition for Ubuntu. Automatic partitioning wanted to use the entire disk for Ubuntu!
| |
| * there needs to be an intermediate "guided partitioning"
| |
| So I chose manual partitioning, but that dumps me into choosing file systems and stuff. I read up about home and swap and dual-booting before going into the installer, but I really need help here. Like the _Release Notes_ link at the start of install, there should be a link to a some help here.
| |
| | |
| I clicked my second partition and the 'Edit Partition' dialog popped up (with another useless (?) help cursor button). I chose "Use as ext4", Format the partition check, Mount point /
| |
| * "Use as" is the wrong label, it doesn't match the table column "Type" on the main page; the label should be something like "File system type"
| |
| * Having a separate checkmark for format doesn't make sense if I choose a different file system type. If it's NTFS and I set it to ext4, surely the partition needs to be formatted sooner or later.
| |
| * I would expect a form item "Use as" to let me choose what is going on the partition, e.g. "Use as main Linux area ('/' or root)", "use as home area (/home directories), etc." That's a lot friendlier than the label "Mount point"
| |
| | |
| | |
| * When I clicked [OK] there was a pause and a cursor and then scanning drives appeared, and then the main window showed "Type" ext4. Had the program formatted the partition yet? It could be clearer.
| |
| | |
| * I couldn't figure out how to create logical partitions inside my D: partition. Adjusting the size gave me a scary warning about making immediate changes; are these destructive or not?!
| |
| | |
| * I read https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/amd64/partitioning.html but it didn't make sense in the context of the installer. E.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/amd64/partition-programs.html mentions several partitioning programs, but I'm in a graphical installer, what the heck is it running?
| |
| | |
| Thankfully user "Firefishe" helped me out, I wound up with
| |
| /dev/sda divided into...
| |
| /dev/sda1 ntfs 83.8 GB hopefully untouched

| | |
| ==== InstallingSoftware out-of-date ====
| |
| https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware says "Kubuntu's new and easy method of installing packages is to use the 'Add/Remove Programs' tool." with a screenshot of "adept"
| |
| | |
| Not there any more! adept not around.
| |
| | |
| === Flash install ===
| |
| Went to flash page, http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ , Konq popped up dialog asking if it should install plugin. Installed a lot of things. But still didn't work. dpkg and aptitude and KPackageKit thought I had flashplugin-installer, flashplugin-nonfree, and konqueror-nsplugins installed, yet no Flash in Konqueror. I quit and restarted, still none.
| |
| | |
| ''Answer!'' After everything auto-installs, you have to do Settings > Configure Konqueror... > Plugins > Plugins tab and click [Scan for Plugins] !
| |
| ==== No sound in Flash ====
| |
| E.g. ftp://www.skierpage.com/www.skierpage.com/docs/olpc/flash_tests/embed_car_smash.html
| |
| | |
| Dog on internet recommended web page with alsa-oss. That didn't help.
| |
| | |
| <tt>aplay -vv /usr/share/sounds/k3b_success1.wav</tt> showed the problem, it uses the wrong sound device, my Via chip and not Audigy2 sound card (I edited
| |
| http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/TroubleShooting to add a section on test playing.)
| |
| | |
| Pages say "This sucks, use udev rules to fix this" Udev hurts.
| |
| djktar suggested asoundconf
| |
| asoundconf list
| |
| shows V8237 and Audigy2
| |
| and <tt>asoundconf set-default-card Audigy2</tt> made aplay work, and after I exited and restarted Konq, sound played in Flash!
| |
| | |
| === /usr/bin/package-install ===
| |
| I think Konqueror is popping up <tt>/usr/bin/package-install</tt>.
| |
| * ? How can I find a log of what this did? I don't see a history in KPackageKit<br>''A:'' Consult <tt>/var/log/dpkg.log</tt>
| |
| * BUG: <tt>kdesudo "/usr/bin/install-package --install NoSUCHFoo"<br/>no such package NoSUCHFoo</tt> , but the dialog says "already installed"
| |
| | |
| === logout thingy ===
| |
| I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del, got a logout chooser, but I couldn't choose Cancel with mouse or keyboard. I finally started killing processes at random in a shell.
| |
| | |
| === MP3 install ===
| |
| https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats suggests `sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras` to play MP3s. says 51 newly installed packages/221 MB, seems a lot just to play MP3s in Amarok.
| |
| | |
| ''Answer!'' The minimal is `sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg`, only 8MB!
| |
| | |
| === KHelp Center ===
| |
| *Clicking KInfoCenter >IEEE 1394 Devices gives
| |
| *: There is no documentation available for /kinfocenter/view1394/index.html.
| |
| and an alert "The file or folder help:/kinfocenter/view1394/index.html does not exist"
| |
| | |
| * Clicking "Browse Info Pages" takes you to DIR:top with nonsensical instructions like "Typing "q" exits, "?" lists all Info commands, "d" returns here,"
| |
| | |
| * help:/khelpcenter/userguide/kicker-configuring.html seems out-of-date:
| |
| ** Says "kicker displays some icons next to the K menu. ", but I just have a starred folder icon.
| |
| ** Says "To remove an icon, right mouse button-click on the icon, and select Remove application name Button " but the starred folder icon's right-click menu has "Remove this Quick Access"
| |
| ** Says "To add a new icon, right mouse button-click on an empty space on the panel, and follow the menu entry Add Application to Panel ." but ther's no empty space, I couldn't do it. Even when there is empty space, there's no such menu item.
| |
| * help:/khelpcenter/userguide/kicker-related-information.html says "there is a lot more information on Kicker ... simply entering help:/kicker" But this doesn't work, no such document.

| | |
| === Font trouble ===
| |
| Click System Settings > Font Installer
| |
| right-click "AR PL UMing TW MBE", choose Open in Font Viewer", get alert
| |
| Could not read font.
| |
| also for other fonts like "AR PL UMing HK[1]
| |
| | |
| === Tried Running KPackageKit ===
| |
| | |
| No Firefox in it, despite what KHelpCenter says.
| |
| | |
| Tried vim. Very confused by + and minus signs. The moment I clicked OK the window vanished, no feedback.
| |
| | |
| Seele's blog post about its update tab has more comments on it, including mine.
| |
| | |
| === Missing Help ===
| |
| I explored why broken help for KInfoCenter > IEEE 1394 shows up in KHelpCenter.
| |
| (see /usr/share/kde4/services/kcmview1394.desktop ). Part of mega launchpad bug about docs, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284915
| |
| | |
| === Sometimes Help button for KDE Connection Manager ===
| |
| But why does e.g kcmshell4 kcmsolidproc have a [Help] button that doesn't work (goes to help:/ which doesn't work), while `kcmshell4 kcm_solid` knows to gray it out?
| |
| | |
| Something deep within http://lxr.kde.org/source/KDE/kdelibs/kutils/kcmultidialog.cpp ? KPageDialog ?
| |
| | |
| === strace woes ===
| |
| I tried using strace to debug the KCM mysteries but it kept crashing on me.
| |
| *** glibc detected *** strace: malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x0000000002642610 ***

| but sometimes get

| == Thunderbird switch ==
| |
| I want to run Thunderbird 3 beta 2 on Windows XP.
| |
| | |
| * Download the Linux version from http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/early_releases/downloads/
| |
| * Read http://tuxicity.wordpress.com/2007/01/24/install-native-mozilla-thunderbird-20-beta-2-on-ubuntu/ for different advice on where to put it.
| |
| * Use ark to unpack it to ~/programs
| |
| * In theory, <tt>ln -s /media/WindowsCdrive/Documents\ and\ Settings/S\ Page/Application\ Data/Thunderbird/Profiles ~/.thunderbird</tt> should work to pick up my old profile. But each Thunderbird instance uses a different prefix for profiles like ''li37qyx''.default, so one doesn't find the other.
| |
| * Instead run thunderbird -P, click [Create Profile], navigate to Windows profile and open it.
| |
| '''WORKS!!''' All my old mail.
| |
| | |
| === Thunderbird 3 start-up errors ===

But the [http://userbase.kde.org/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=interwikimap interwiki prefixes on userbase] have some problems: |
|
| |
|
| ==== missing components? ====
| | * It should be easy to link from one wiki to another, using [techbase:Getting Started], but it isn't set up. |
| Seems like I just need a few missing 32-bit components and this will work.
| |
| * Look at ubuntuzilla (won't install a beta). | |
| * Maybe https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
| |
| Or install a 64-bit version:
| |
| * Used to be an Aussie providing 64-bit builds, not any more.
| |
|
| |
|
| | * There is a bug prefix, e.g. [[bug:1234|1234]], but why is it <tt>language="ᨅᨔ ᨕᨘᨁᨗ"</tt> so that it only works for that language?! |
| | * Why is there an empty bugs prefix, e.g.[[bugs:1234|1234]] ? |
| | * techbase and userbase have different interwiki maps, e.g. techbase has no wikipedia prefix, but userbase does e.g. [[wikipedia:Git]], though userbase does?! |
|
| |
|
| * Try using `ldd`to see what it's missing
| |
| cd ~/programs/thunderbird
