Hi all, I've spent a lot hours trying to do this, but I've unable to, I hope someone can lend me a hand. SCENARIO: I have four computers with Windows 10 and Office 2016. The same gmail account is configured in all them using POP3, so this account is shared between four users, all them receives the same mails, etc. Those users mark the received mails categoryzing them with colors (red, yellow, blue...). In this way they can identify the state every mail is in (answered by himself, answered by other user, don't need answer...). PROBLEM: Since those marks are made locally in the pst file, when a user mark a mail in a color, the other users doesn't see this mark, so the have to ask mail by mail to the colleages about every mail (up to hundred per day). NEED: I need those colors/flags/categories of inbox mailbox to be shared/syncronyzed among the four computers (the content of inbox folder is the same in all computers since it's the same mail account). I've try a few third party programs that promised to do it, but none of them works, the others options seems to be: 1.- Using IMAP instead of POP3, problem: given the huge quantity of mails, when I tryed this some time ago it didn't work well, everything went very slow outlook even gets frozen sometimes. Besides that, IMAP doesn't support color categories. 2.- Using Exchange Server? This could be a solution (I'm not sure), but I'm afraid it requires a domain and a Windows server O.S, but we have a workgroup and Windows 10 Professional. Of course, if it would be my only solution I'd have to do this. I hope someone can lend me a hand, may thanks in advance.

Hi all, I've been using a computer with kubuntu during sometime, it is an Intel with an Intel VGA graphics card and after some problems I could make it work ok. (Kubuntu 14.10). Now I've install a nvidia graphics card (GTX 750 ti) and it doesn't work correctly, it is one of those lot of things that under Windows is downloading a file and installing but with Linux it's a whole oddisey... I tried to install drivers doing this: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install linux-source sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic sudo apt-get install linux-image sudo apt-get install nvidia-current Result: after reboot I could'n even set native resolution of screen (full-HD). Then I remove drivers with: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current and then downloaded official drivers from nvidia website and installed them: Hit CTRL+ALT+F1 and login using my credentials. kill current X server session by typing sudo service lightdm stop Enter runlevel 3 by typing sudo init 3 and install the*.run file. Reboot After reboot I can use full-HD resolution and 3d acceleration seems to work, but I have a huge tearing problem playing videos, games and anything.... I've change composition type from Xrender to OpenGL 3.1 since using Intel VGA I also had big tearing with xrender. But problem is not solved (it worked with intel card). Then I've check vsync is enabled in the OS, and it is "redraw all scene", and it's also enabled in XBMC. I also installed anther nvidia card in other computer some time ago (Kubuntu 13.04) and I had exactly the same problem. No talk about AMD/ATI cards, I left them as impossible under linux long ago.... Mu question is.. How can I confugure this nvidia card to word as it should? (it is, avoiding this huge tearing effect that makes impossible watching a video). Regards and thanks in advance.

Hi all, I've a problem with a computer that runs with kubuntu 14.04, the question is it has a 2 terabytes system disk, whose installation came from a 120gb SSD via cloning with clonezilla and resizing partitions automatically (I told this because perhaps can be important, perhaps not). http://i62.tinypic.com/141mhbb.jpg /dev/sda1 has 1,76 TiB, but it says that 1,65 TiB are unassigned, so I can't use the space. I have try to resize partition but gparted doesn't allow me to. As you can see on picture, if I go to properties of partition it shows a warning message saying something like: "Warning: 1.65 TiB of unassigned space on partition, to make filesystem grow in order to fill the partition, select partition and choose "Partition --> Check" from the menu" I'm unable to, since this option doesn't appears. My question is: How can I repair it so I can use all the space? If possible, I want to do it from the kubuntu installation, since I'm not phisically on the computer and only can connect remotely. Many thanks in advance

I've just format the disk using ext3 instead of ext4 and now I can read/write in the disk from the Windows machine. Am I missing important differentes if I "downgrade" from ext4 to ext3? The disk is going to be used mainly to manage downloads (transmission, jdownloader...) and storing files, films and tv series mainly. Even with this, I would like to use ext4 if is possible in any way. Many thanks in advance.

I've format disk again with gparted (ext4), so I can't write on disk (as usual), so I made: chmod -R 777 /media/elhtpc/ALMACEN (The actual name is ALMACEN, not STORE). Now I had access from the local machine to write and create folders. I try to share a folder (right click, properties, share tab, share with samba, allow guests, everyone: full control, elhtpc:full control), and on Rights tab I set "Ohers: Can view and modify content" and check "Apply to subfolders and its contents". In this moment the folder get the "shared" icon but I can't access to it from Windows machine. Another important thing is that the values I set on share tab seems to dissapear when I press "accept". I've try to force all of my samba clients to look like "elhtpc" for the shares. I edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add "force user = elhtpc" under the workgroup line. Now I can access to the new shared folder but I have only read rights, not write. If I enter on share tab in folder properties, I set "allow guests, everyone: full control", but when I accept and enter again is changed to "read only". I've try: sudo chown -R elhtpc /media/elhtpc/ALMACEN But problem persist.

Hi All, I've a folder on my user folder that is shared using samba (shared with everyone), and works ok. I've a secondary 2TB disk formatted with ext4, and a folder on it that I want to share. My problem is that as soon as I share it with Samba (shared with everyone) it un-shares itself automatically. I suspect that it's a problem is caused by the rights on this secondary disk. I've use chown to take ownership on the disk: sudo chown -R elhtpc /media/elhtpc/STORE And I've also try chmod: sudo chmod -R 777 /media/elhtpc/STORE Problem persists. How can I share a folder content on this disk? Many thanks in advance

I want to thank the help. I finally recovered the disk, the procedure were: -Use testdisk to recover main partition -Installing fresh kubuntu 14.2 onto a new SSD -Resize recovered partition to exactly match in size with new one on the new installation (using gparted) -Clone partition to partition with clonezilla -Restore grub using "boot repair disk" -Boot on recovered disk -Modify grub to avoid 10 secons wait screen on every boot. Regards

Hi all, I have delete a whole disk that contained a linux installation using "clean" command on Windows using diskpart. After doing that I realized I had delete the wrong disk. How could I recover it? I have write nothing nor create any partition on the disk after doing this. The disk is a SSD. Many thanks in advance

Hi all, I'm using Kubuntu 14.04 on my HTPC and I'm experiecing a problem that make computer randomly hangs when playing a video with XBMC 13.0, it can happend after 10 minutes playback a video or 1 hour, or some hours..... When it happends, image freezes and audio continues working, but system doesn't respond and I have to reset. Today when it happened I tried to make system work by using mouse and keyboard, and it recovered from the problem, showing by a little time a message saying something like "window manager KWIN has been restarted due to a graphical error". So KWIN seems to be the problem.... I forgot to tell.... I'm using XBMC 13.0 with Aeon Nox 4.1.9.9 for Gotham ¿Any help? Many thanks in advance

I'm really glad hearing I've help you, hehe Regards!

Many Thanks, I will do it for using samba locations since I see it's useful for this, by now I solved this problem in this way: see systemsettings -> removable devices -> attached drives for all removable drives: 1) -> enable automatic mounting .........., click preferences or for only that 1 drive: 2) -> select the usb driv -> click automount on login & automount on attach Honestly, I really really can't figure out why this option is not enabled by default. Regards

Hi all, I have a problem with my HTPC based on Kubuntu. I have an SSD for the OS and a 2tb drive for files. Everytimes I boot the computer I have to go to Dolphin file manager and enter on the secondary drive that appears as a device; this is because it appears with a red croos icon, and when I enter on it it changes to a green ok icon. If I enter XBMC without having done this, I can't access to the content of this drive, so I always have to enter dolphin and open drive before opening XBMC. It's very annoying, so... how can I make kubuntu enable this drive automatically on every startup? It also happend if a use a USB hard drive, by default I cant access to it until I open in dolphin. I want Linux to automount? (not sure if it's the appropiate word) all units on start and show them with green ok icon instead red cross. Many thanks in advance

Hi all, I'm writing because I've a problem that I'm unable to solve; I've try everything I've found with no result I have a PC with an Intel Haswell processor that is connected via HDMI to an AV, and from the AV to the TV. In Windows 7 i have sound over HDMI in 5.1 perfectly but linux is another story (kubuntu 13.10), so it's a configuration problem. There is no problem with sound throught HDMI in stereo, but when I select 5.1 it's not ok. When 5.1 in some of the speakers (the most of them) sound is outputted over the speaker it's supposed to, but over another speaker too, with a distorsion and noise (like scratches). I mean, front left sound ok, but rear left sounds via itself but via font left too, and right ones sounds via front and rear. In audio preferences I have two HDMI stereo and two HDMI surround, ¿why? I think it could be part of the problem: http://i61.tinypic.com/2n50yh.png I didn't pay attention to this when I used stereo since works ok, but now that I need 5.1 it makes me think that it's not ok. In pulseaudio I've the same think, but each one appears three times: http://i59.tinypic.com/1dyjja.png The first thing I tried is edit /etc/pulse/daemon.con file and add lines: default-sample-channels = 6 enable-lfe-remixing = yes I also tryed to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add: options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch-dig But problem reamains Then I installed PulseAudio Manager to check all volumen on it was at 100% and not below, but nothing... In alsamixer there is no much to do, it appears on the sound card: http://i59.tinypic.com/110yxee.png From the two HDMI 5.1 that appears on audio preferences, the working one (bad working) matches with left one in alsamixer (named SPDIF2), I know it becouse when I mute it with "M" key sound mutes, when muting the other ones in alsamixer nothing happends. I've been handling volumes of each speaker in pulseadio and it seems that 6 channels are correctely recognized, but some of the channels transmit sound via more than one speaker. When I silent for example all speakers but front right, i get sound only when I try this front left on audio preferences, but rear front also sounds, and I have noise and scratches. I've been reading something about mapping channels and editing He estado ley /etc/asound.conf file. My system had not this file, I created it and include a code that is supposed to solve the problem, but problem remains exactly the same. Perhaps I need the content of asound.conf for just this model of sound card (the one on Intel HD Haswell). To sum up, I can't get sound over 5.1 correctly and I don't know what to do, so I really thank any help. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I'm trying to make work a bluetooth keyboard in a system with kubuntu 13.10 x64 and a USB Bluetooth dongle. I've some problems: FIRST PROBLEM: Dongle not detected when restart. If I plug the USB dongle when computer is on and ubuntu has boot, its recognized; but most times when I restart or shutdown/boot computer when dongle is connected, it's not recognized and I have to unplug and plug it again. It's really annoying, I've been a long time looking for information and I found many people with the problem but I find not a solution. SECOND PROBLEM: Having to navigate to menu and select "connect" The first time I want to configure keyboard I use the usual way: Put keyboard on search mode and connect it entering the numerical key on keyboard. Then it's linked with computer and works like a charm. The problem comes again when I restart... then, once detected que dongle, keyboard does'n work on system start, I have to go to bluetooth menu, go to que keyboard and select "connect" (of course, I need to have a non bluetooth mouse to do this). THIRD PROBLEM Even when I go to the menu and select Keyboard model-->Connect, it works only if in this moment when computer search it, I disconnect and re-connect the keyboard with the on/off button. To sum up: Once configured the keyboard, on every start I have to unplug/plug USB dongle, then using other mouse device go and select "connect", and then unplug/plug keyboard. I want the keyboard to work on every system boot automatically, am I asking for an impossible thing? Many thanks in advance

Hi all, One of my customers that have purchase an HTPC to me has a problem with his 21:9 TV. The TV is a led pfl-7956, with 21:9 format and resolution 2520x1080. The HTPC "wears" an AMD APU A8 5500, so it integrates a Radeon VGA. The issue is that HTPC allows a maximum resolution of 1920*1080, and of course, it makes black vertical bars to be on both sides of the screen. According to some comments given to me in the spanish forum ForoDVD, it's impossible to send to the TV its native resolution of 2520x1080, they told me that the procedure is sending 1920*1080 and use the different zooms of the TV to scale the image. But maximum resolution of HDMI 1.4 is 3840x2160 at 30hz, so theorically the HTPC should be capable to send to the TV its native resolution, even if its at a framerate below 60hz. My customer insists that when he connect a Bluray reader or other devive, the image takes the whole screen without the need of using zooms, but with the HTPC he gets vertical bars on both sides since resolution is 1920x1080 instead 2520x1080. I thought it could be a problem of drivers, I thought it would be needed installing on Windows a TV drivers that allows que operative system to recognize this resolution, but I've been looking for those drivers with no result. ¿Someone with a PC screen or a TV with this resolution can lend me a hand? Many thanks in advance Tassadar

Many thanks for the answers, I Finally get was I was looking for using makeMKV, the issue was that when I installed prior day it was on the night after 14 hours working and my mind shouldn't be lucid, I had installed XBMC add-on but not the makeMKV itself. I tested a pair of original blurays I own and seem't to work The link is: www.makemkv.com • View topic - MakeMKV 1.8.6 for Linux is available After that, download xbmc add-on and install as usual (install from zip): http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=67420&highlight=makemkv+addon Many thanks again

Hi all, I've a HTPC with kubuntu and XBMC and I play with no problems MKVs and ISOs from my own blurays (created with Windows in other computer) Now I have install a Bluray reader with the aim of playing my blurays directly, and I've found it doesn't work (The ISO file works, but original disc doesn't). ¿Hoy can I enable the play of those original optical disks? I've try installing an addon called "makeMKV" but when I try to use it gives a message saying something like "MakeMKV doesn't work, it is installed?" ¿Can someone lend me a hand? I would like to play original BDs in the easyest possible way, as I play ISOS now. Many thanks in advance

Hi all, I've detect a very weird problem on a computer, and the problem can be solved by simply opening "ATI Control Panel" and leaving it opened. I've add it to start menu so it opens with every Windows boot, but I would like it to open not in a window but as hide as possible. I've try to activate "Open minimized" but doesn't work. Further than this, even if it opens minimized, I would like to not to have it in the applications list on the windows bar. ¿Is there any way to make Catalyst open with windows and not to seem be opened? Many thanks in advance

Hi All, I'm trying to clone a Kubuntu installation from a 250gb disk to a 120Gb SSD but I'm unable to. I've restore installation to another 250Gb disk and shrink main partition to only 50gb, but when I try to clone to the 120Gb SSD Clonezilla still says destination disk is too small. Then I've try to clone partition (not disk) but clonezilla returns a weird error, something like "Box partition doesn't exist". Can someone tell me how to archieve this succesfully? A link to a how-to or something like this. Many thanks in advance

Thanks twin--turbo, I saw that thread before but if I'm not wrong there is no solution to the problem on it, am I wrong?? Since with windows it works ok, it's clear that some kind of driver update could solve this.... is there any way to update the driver that linux uses to manage this jmicron SATA-->USB chip or something like this??? (I'm not sure if i'm explaning ok...) Thanks

I've try Windows 7 Professional x64 and works ok and disk is recognized very fast. Then I've made a new installation of kubuntu 12.10 (I was using 13.04) and problem is again here, so it looks that there is a problem with the driver that Linux has included for this JMicron chip (the one that dockstation have). ¿Any idea? Thanks

Many thanks kmount, I'll try 12.10 Regards

Many thanks again for the answer, kmount, Sincerely.. at this point I'm not 100% sure if it worked with kubuntu 12.10, perhaps I tryed 2 tb disks or I tried with the other dockstation, the USB 3.0 one that works ok now. ¿does it change something? Could you reccommend me any other thing? How can I open the but with Ubuntu... sorry, I'm quite new on linux and don't know how to do this. I've read about Intel intel rapid storage technology drivers or something like this, but I've found it to download only for windows, not linux.... Many thanks again

Thanks for the answer, kmount, I think the important part of dmesg is this:

Hi all, I've Kubuntu 13.04 and have a problem that I can' solve. I've been looking for information and it's quite clear that it's a problem that appears with all distros based on Ubuntu 13.04, but I've not find any solution. Problem is very simple: When I connect a hard drive via USB it's not recognized/automounted. I've try only NTFS partitioned disks, and as I've read, here is the problem (This problem is in 13.04, with 12.10 works ok) Anyone knows how to fix it? Many thanks in advance
