Re: Mounting Canon Powershot Digital Camera
The bad news is: You can't mount a Powershot because it does not work in USB mass storage mode (it uses PTP: picture transfer protocol). The good news is: You don't have to because gphoto2 (http://www.gphoto.org/) can access PTP cameras without mounting or unmounting on your part. gtkam (http://www.gphoto.org/proj/gtkam/) is a nice, simple GUI for gphoto. Both programs are in the ports. If you want you CAN mount your flash-card though. But you'll have to take it out of the camera and put it in a flash-card drive (or whatever it's called). -- Johan Spee ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD + Wine + Office 2K
Merry Christmas! Although winehq.com is not altogether clear about it I get the impression from other sites that wine should be able to handle office 2000 without any problems. Some claim they have office XP and even office 2003 running on FreeBSD (http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/~plug/mail_archive/0512/0046.html). I gave it a try with FreeBSD 6, Wine 0.9.4 and Office 2000 sp3 - unfortunately it would not even install properly. With wine in the win98 mode the installation gets stuck in 0% cpu activity, in the winXP mode it gets stuck in 100% cpu activity. Wine also does not allow me to do a 'custom' installation. A tree-structure with all the office items is shown, but it is not possible to check or uncheck any of those. As a consequence the whole suite is installed, including the 'forbidden' assistant. In win98 mode I have been able to get Word to open a file, more or less, and then had to kill wine to close the program. Is it actually possible to run office 2000 on FreeBSD? If so, I would appreciate some tips or hints.

sylpheed --compose + attachment??
In sylpheed a new message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] can be opened from the command line like this: # sylpheed --compose [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would like to do something similar with an attachment. But when I try this: # sylpheed --compose somefile.txt the 'somefile.txt' part is interpreted as an address. I cannot find any information on other command-line parameters for sylpheed. Can this be done? thanks, -- Johan Spee ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to add a language to gtkspell
I use gtkspell in combination with sylpheed. I can choose from 20 different English dictionaries that, apparently, come with the package. I would like to add Dutch (just 1 will do), but have no idea how this can be done. Note that I do not want to make the entire OS bilingual - I just want to enable gtkspell to use the Dutch language. thanks, -- Johan Spee ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Everything on FAT is executable
Hi Lowell, Thanks for your answer. It took me a while to respond because the message ended op on the Windows hemisphere of my pc. I also wanted to figure out what 'octal code' should be added to the -m parameter. I still don't understand the principle but '-m 333' should allow rw for all and mask x. I added this to my fstab, but the result is that the drives are no longer mounted. I'll have to look into that. thanks again, -Jay On 17 Nov 2005 09:21:23 -0500, Lowell Gilbert wrote: mount_msdosfs(8) has a -m option (and -M, so you can still have the directories executable) to change the observed permissions. It's an all-or-nothing solution, but that's probably what you want anyway. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
