am not fluent when it comes to apt-get.
On the command line, the differences are minimal IMO, but there is a large 
group of people that prefer the gui frontend called synaptic.  I am speaking 
for them here, but they prefer the integrated functionality as opposed to the 
simple approach taken by rpmdrake.

Personally, it doesn't much matter to me because I work primarily from the 
command line now, but as they say, difernt strokes for difernt folks.
I thought dpkg was one of the things apt-get does that makes it somewhat 
better.
For example, if you install postfix, it stops and asks you for the main 
settings and then configures it as well
so its mostly ready to go as soon as its installed.

The first time I played with debian, I was suprised that the installing 
packages were asking me config questions...
its pretty cool.

[newbie] dual layer DVD writing.

2004-07-19 Thread franki
Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone has had any experiance with dual layer DVD 
writers on Linux?

They are just starting to hit retail shelves now, and handle over 8gig 
of space..

Very cool for a backup system me thinks.
I have some clients that would benefit greatly from this,  and I'd like 
to write a script that backs up their shared folders to a dual layer DVD 
3 times a week. but so far I've not been able to find out if any version 
of cdrecord or anything else is capable of running a dual layer burner.

Anyone have any ideas?
regards
Franki

Mandrake the Magician 
Mandrake root
Mandrake was often used and referred to in the classical world, where it was 
said to excite delirium and madness. It was also used to help put one to 
sleep during intense pain, and was chewed as an mild anaesthetic. Mandrake 
had a long reputation for being able to expell demons and act as an 
excorcist. Demons reportedly can not tolerate it's aroma. In both Eastern and 
Jewish writings there are references to Mandrake as a remover of sterility.

Webster's  says,
Mandrake \Mandrake\, n. [AS. mandragora, L. mandragoras, fr.
  Gr. ?: cf. F. mandragore.]
  1. (Bot.) A low plant (Mandragora officinarum) of the
 Nightshade family, having a fleshy root, often forked, and
 supposed to resemble a man. It was therefore supposed to
 have animal life, and to cry out when pulled up. All parts
 of the plant are strongly narcotic. It is found in the
 Mediterranean region.
   And shrieks like mandrakes, torn out of the earth,
   That living mortals, hearing them, run mad. --Shak.
  Note: The mandrake of Scripture was perhaps the same plant,
but proof is wanting.
I believe it was used in english medieval times for medicinal purposes.
I expect it was an early ruling class version of coke.

I wasn't familiar with USBview until you mentioned it.  It does look 
like a handy tool. 

My motherboard has 4 onboard USB ports that all face the rear and it 
also has another USB port header that supports 2 additional ports.  I 
hooked up the front case USB ports to this header but I'm pretty sure I 
need to redo it.  When I plug my SanDisk Cruzer into any of the rear 
ports, it's immediately recognized, the data is available in 
/mnt/removeable, and USBview shows the new device.   That's just not 
happening when I plug it into one of the front ports.  I'll take a look 
at how I hooked it up after I get off of work today.

[newbie] Sylpheed-Claws

2004-07-19 Thread Lee Wiggers
Well I hosed my mailbox playing with Dereks instructions for setting
up a mailserver.  I really need a toybox.  I shouldn't be allowed to
use the real computer.

Anyway, I have everything back except that it won't let me add a
filter.  Cooker is now coming in to my main folder.

I have 5 accounts collected by sylpheed from the isp and our own
site.  The list mail comes from americanelevatorinspection.com and
my isp is comcast.net.

Problem seems to be that no matter what account I have active, the
filters all set up for comcast.net.  Or maybe the problem is that I
don't understand the problem.

Anyone shed some light here?

describes mandrake's use by witches - a witch I knew 30 years ago was
using it (he ground it to a paste  rubbed it on his temples).

Through the ages, magic often involved taking drugs and seeing things.
Where the druids had ergot and the shamans had mushrooms, witches had
mandrake. The mandrake has long been regarded as having magical
properties, perhaps because its forked root gives the plant a human-like
shape. According to tradition, the plant would scream when it was pulled
out of the ground. Consequently, mandrake was not dug up by hand;
instead, a dog would be harnessed to the root and encouraged to drag it
out of the ground. 


The mysteries of the mandrake are not limited to its shape. It is
related to henbane and deadly nightshade. All three contain a number of
very powerful alkaloids. When absorbed into the body, these chemical
substances can cause double vision, hallucination and even coma. With
their knowledge of the effects of mandrake, witches would have been able
to dose themselves to produce the required effects without risking their
lives. 

The witch's cauldron would have been used to boil the herbs in a fatty
solution; this produced an ointment that the witch would smear on her
body. A trance-like state would follow, with the witch experiencing
sensations of flying - this is probably the origin of the familiar
imagery of witches flying on broomsticks. Witches, like druids and
shamans before them, derived some of their authority from their apparent
ability to travel into another world.

am not fluent when it comes to apt-get.
On the command line, the differences are minimal IMO, but there is a 
large group of people that prefer the gui frontend called synaptic.  
I am speaking for them here, but they prefer the integrated 
functionality as opposed to the simple approach taken by rpmdrake.
Personally, it doesn't much matter to me because I work primarily 
from the command line now, but as they say, difernt strokes for 
difernt folks.
I thought dpkg was one of the things apt-get does that makes it 
somewhat better.
For example, if you install postfix, it stops and asks you for the 
main settings and then configures it as well
so its mostly ready to go as soon as its installed.

The first time I played with debian, I was suprised that the 
installing packages were asking me config questions...
its pretty cool.
OK, now I understand and I agree on both items.  While I never used 
synaptic, I did use SuSE for few years and their installer (YAST) is 
integrated which is much nicer in my opinion.

As for dpkg, yet this is nice indeed.  Now I remember that it did this 
for me as well, stop and ask for configuration settings during the 
install.  BTW, I remember that at least on some occasions, YAST did 
this as well in SuSE so it may be something that can be added to the 
RPMs, like a post-install configuration step.

[newbie] qt3 libJpeg Errors...

I'm trying to install a program from source (qsstv, used for sending still

I'm running 10CE, with every available update installed. Can anyone tell me

To compile you have to have devel packages of both, qt3 and libjpeg...
It may also be a problem of finding them, try exporting QTDIR (dunno what to 
export for libjpeg). But first make sure you have devel packages...

You probably have a newer version of qt on your system so the configure script

For libjpeg you are probably missing a devel file such as libjpeg-devel-x

Hi Dan,

Yes, the libjpeg was an error on my part, and the appropriate devel installed, 
got over the problem.

However, on the qt front, I do indeed have a newer version of qt installed. 
The problem being, I cant install the earlier version, as in order to do so, 
software installer wants to remove virtually the whole of KDE, owing to 
dependencies. Looks like it's going to be a non starter then!

[newbie] 10 Official Speedtouch USB

2004-07-19 Thread JRH

It would appear that I have found a solution to the problem!

I know there are a few people who have had problems getting 10OE on the net 
with the Alcatel Speedtouch USB ADSL modem, so this is how I did it!

Before upgrading, go to one of the 10 Community update FTP sites, and get a 
copy of the Speedtouch Beta RPM (must be this one, the one on the 10CE CD 
wont work), and the updated PPP and PPP_PPPOA RPM's.

Upgrade, and then use RpmDrake to uninstall the Speedtouch, ppp and ppp_pppoa 
packages that came with 10 Official. Use Software installer to install the 3 
new RPM's (just double click the RPM files).

Job done. Go into Drakconf, and enter New Connection, and set up the 
connection as you normally would.

Job done. To test, in a console, as root, go to /usr/share/speedtouch/ and 
make sure that mgmt.o is still there. If it is, type ./speedtouch.sh start.

You should be on the net!

[newbie] XFree or Xorg?

2004-07-19 Thread Lanman
Can someone provide info regarding switching from XFree86 to Xorg? I've 
been trying for day to get it working properly, and I'm still stumped.
I'm running an ATI Radeon 9200SE AGP video card with 128MB onboard ram.
XFree86 is installed and running, but I can't find the DRI module 
anywhere. It seems that without that module, I'm not going to get OpenGL 
to work.

At the same time, Xorg running on another box, driving an NVidia card is 
detecting the card properly and loading the proper OpenGL driver module.
Even so, Xorg refuses to give me OpenGL on the ATI card, and the drivers 
at ATI's site don't seem to be usable with XFree86-4.4.0 .

Which version of which system should I be running on mandrake 10.0 
Official that will allow me to finally get OpenGL working? Also, if I 
migrate to Xorg, is there a new config file to set up, and if so, what's 
the procedure?

I'm getting a little peeved at running a Vesa module for this card, and 
any help would be greatly appreciated. My eyes are turning into little 
brown wrinkled raisins!

 Hi all,

 I'm looking for clues on how to set up Java (runtime environment) on my

 1. multiple applications can use it (Opera / BitTorrent client...)

 2. I know where to find it, in other words, where/how to install it

 Cheers, Marco
 
 I've done it this way:
 Downloaded J2RE from their site (Sun's ?) in a rpm package.. installed it
 and added to $PATH variable in ~/.bash_profile line :
 
 /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_04/bin
 
 Now It looks like this :
 
 PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_04/bin
 export PATH
 
 You'll have to logout and login to your user account to make it work, or
 after adding the above to ~/.bash_profile you can type :
 
 export PATH=$PATH::/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_04/bin
 
 You'll have to add same path to $PATH variable for each user account...
 Of course in Opera you'll need to type Java path in Preferences --
 Multimedia. It's something like this :
 
 /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_04/lib/i386
 
 Make sure to validate java path.

I add /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_04/bin to ~/.bashrc
Then in shell type:
source ~/.bashrc

Now all changes to bashrc are available in the user environment.
