Then something is wrong with your Google. If you have a google account as soon as you are signed in and do a search the safe search things comes up on the page with the results.

Knightron, are you signed in or not?

Could it be that there aren't any in Oz

Perhaps an education program is required as it is a fundamental part of Linux

It is not is those distros' interest to educate users, especially Ubuntu. If users were educated, they would no longer be locked into the system through ignorance. Yes, the ignorance is intentionally fostered.

Sorry for being off-topic, but this could be considered on-topic by some, since many people would consider the U-distro to be in bed with evil entities like Google. (Amazon link on the desktop, etc.)

I have the same 'safe search' box on a image search with google. Currently in .au, not signed in to google, using iceweasel 24. Using Midori 0.4.3 I have a different page layout, with 'Moderate SafeSearch is on' link.

Surprised you say this - I find the Ubuntu forum quite useful

Did you ever suggest there was a bug or feature flaw? That will draw a chorus of righteous indignation from forum members enraged that someone dared to suggest Buntu is not perfect. (Been there, done that.)

I need a calendar system that will run on Android but sync some other way that via google. I've found one or two that have a Windows only desktop couterpart but nothing that will work for me. Until then I'm stuck with Google because I need a calendar.


Has anyone used Google chrome lately. My son wanted it because they recommended it at school and it seems to be full of ads. Every time you click on a new link the "related search" comes up at the left but also ads come up in the lower right corner.

searching with ask I came up with this. but there are others

looks like the "PC" side is Windows. I want something that I can sync with Linux. I could work out sync ability if I can find an android side that would work. I've found a couple Android calendars which will import/export .ics but you have to manually import/export each time I would sync the file over. If I could find an android calendar that would simply use ics or some other format than I could just work out a script to sync the file myself.

So far I'm found:

- Android replacement calendars which use the Google sync mechanism.
- Android replacement calendars or sync tools which will sync with Outlook or other desktop apps via Windows or Mac desktop software, nothing that will operate on a Linux desktop.
- Android replacement calendars with import/export function, which could work but I'd have to manually import my calendar file each time I copied it over the manually export before copying back to the desktop. So it would have that extra step of manually importing and exporting.

I'd love to get away from relying on google's sync mechanism which has many apple like limitations.

that might be the price to pay to get away from google's sync mechanism

So you see why then I'm stuck with a google account. I tried their whole google docs/drive thing, too slow and limited, gmail the same way. I don't really need a google account other than to get my calendar from my phone to thunderbird.

Lessor of two evils, Google vs Microsoft. Google at least doesn't cost me anything compared to the time waster trying to keep a window system somewhat secured.
