I’m afraid I don’t think this will work. Most likely your service provider will be the only one that can change your allowed bandwidth. Is your connection synchronous or do advertised bandwidth for up- and download differ?

First of all it would be important to find out what your upload should be theoretically and second where the upload derating (if so) comes from. The only change I see that you could do something about it (other than protest) is if your upload capacity is in full use by your programs/services running. Even than wondershaper still will not help you since it’s effect is global (for your computer’s connection) and not per program or process. See if Bandwidth Limiting HOWTO can help you.

Update: Also trickle could be your program of choice.

This is advertised as an “8 mega” service, but please. Back in Brooklyn, I had upload capacity of 7 Mbps.

The whole issue confuses me (I majored in poetry).

Isn’t my ISP (Net Serviços, São Paulo, Brazil) throttling me to death? (I do very, very little p2p activity, by the way, so I am nt one of those greedy 5% who are hogging 60% of the network or whatever.

What is really making me impatient at the moment is the delay in an FTP upload I have to do. For this I pay the big bucks? What do I look like, a masochist?

I wish you that you’ll find a solution; sometimes solutions come around the corner where you would never have expected them when you stopped trying to hard

Thanks for your comment! First of all if you’ve just started with Lightning you might want to have a look at Spicebird.com first.

About Google->Lightning: Does Lightning display google.cal and are you talking about my last statement to edit calender items to change the calender it belongs to? Or do you have trouble showing google cal stuff in Lightning at all?

Anyway, it’s been a while and I cannot remember details. However I do remember it wasn’t always that easy especially with reoccurring events. So there is a chance it doesn’t work at all for individual items.

I followed your instructions, and I was able to import Outlook data to Google Calendar. However, which seems strange, I cannot get the data from Google calendar to Lightning. Any Idea why that can be?
I will appreciate your help

FF3 does SVG, just not all of it.
This example needs stuff not yet in FF indeed.

Now all is good again. Ta

I haven’t had the time to test it myself and, thus, come up with more detail.

By the way, I’m working on putting together a small screencast/video to show the steps, but that will take some more time. Stay tuned if you wish (you might what to consider Bloglines with this RSS link or all comments to my blog).

I’m glad I could help you find a solution!

Let me speak out respects for your adventure in trying to solve this. You must really love Opera (good on ya!).

See ya soon. Good night and good luck!

ln -s /path/to/mount /path/easyer/for/user

Some creative scripting might help here allowing for the automatic symlink ( creation / deletion ) if the share is mounted / un-mounted ?

Thanks for sharing

Good luck

It seams flash still is a problem in Ubuntu with Opera. I really hope it will get fixed and either gnash (the free flash implementation) will go a big step forward and work. Or the nonfree flash package can be rewritten in a way it works with updates of “upstream” (Adobe) software updates. However I assume the later will not happen due to licensing issues (flash is proprietary, you know!!).

Now, to get flash to work with Opera Opera needs to find the library files no matter which flash implementation, i.e. which package you use. So it will not get better by deleting files. You either need to copy the lib files (not good since they will not be upgraded if the package is by Ubuntu). Or you link to them as described above. Unfortunatelly if that doesn’t work I don’t have any ideas left.

Hope it helps,

Next step - unistall the adobe flash plugin and try reinstalling one of the others, then go through them one by one until hopefully one works.

Unless some kind soul has another suggestion to put me out of my misery?!

I just installed Opera - its great. Unfortunately I still can’t get flash working. I tried the above and then looked at the plugins installed in Opera and it had 3 flash plugins (from firefox - totemflash, flashalternative, and then flashiplugin-nonfree which I had just installed)

I went ahead and deleted the files for the other flash plugins from the mozilla directory and restarted Opera but flash still does not work.

Any ideas?

You might want to try out the open source alternative, gnash (sudo aptitude mozilla-plugin-gnash). Mind you it’s in early development stage but at least you can use some flash content in pages this way!

Good luck

How does The Heron feel? Cannot wait for RCs!

Thanks for the info

No Such File Or Directory?

Can omeone Please Help!!

I edited your text so to show the code nicely.

In windows you’d be better with the standard “for” statement, and you use && to separate commands, thus the following should do what you were after:

for %i in (*.jpg) do @echo Converting %i && @convert %i -resize 50% %i

Thanks.

Installing 9.0.48.0 gives md5sum mismatch -error. Installing 9.0.115 seems to work fine, BUT the flash does’t still work in Opera…
