Anyone who is both sane, and emotionally strong enough to
avoid playing like an ostrich with his head in the sand
will regard Iran with suspicion until they
1) quit trying to enrich uranium
2) quit broadcasting rhetoric about destroying all
  nations which do not convert to Islam

and

3) quit providing, training, weapons, and refuge to
  every radical Islamic terrorist organization on
  the planet.

Until that day, anyone who regards the Iranian government
as benign is whistling in the dark.

There's a reason that both the French and the Germans
replaced their anti-Bush heads of state the last time
they had the opportunity to do so.


If your just testing a post to the Mailing List then it was

It turns out my mail service (hotpop.com) was acting flaky

don't laugh too much, the mailing list behavior is sometime curious.

* hitting reply send the mail privately, as everybody knows, but if
you make this by mistake, you may be surprised not to see your mail on
the list

* sometime the feature is even more hiden. I had to unsubscribe then
re-subscribe to see my mails on the list recently

* very recently, the mailing list stopped for half a day, may be
serveur failure, may be something only relevant for me :-)

and for such things, only a test on the very list can be seen as a
clue (I didn't do that, but was pretty near to do :-))

[opensuse] test for good /dev/dsp (sound device)

2007-08-18 Thread ken

A script I have uses play in a script.  If /dev/dsp (or dsp0) is
locked up for some reason (generally after viewing a video on youtube),
then play fails and the rest of the script horks.  The error returned
says sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': No such device.
Sometimes I'll get a device busy error.  Does anyone know a way to
test /dev/dsp (in advance of this failure) so that the play error can
be avoided?

Yeah, that's a good command and would probably give good info if the
device were busy, but lsof /dev/dsp returns nothing when there's No
such device... which makes sense.

Since posting my previous (original) email, I discovered that the audio
alarm (to signal an appointment) on Korganizer works.  If that works,
why doesn't play?

You're right, it (my reply) should have been take offlist. Granted I
only got about two hours of sleep (if that) after an all nighter trying
to create a bartpe bootcd, and downloading and installing 65 updates
10.2, and trying to figure out to install a simple program, still no
excuse. So I do apologize for my (latest) outburst. 

Why are there so many different installation technics? rpm, .run, tar.gz,
.bin. I mean right there on the website it tells you how to do it,
followed the commands exactly, and it (shell program) says that the
file/directory doesn't exist. Maybe (probably) I'm missing something
here.  if the program is  install-realplayer10gold.bin for instance,
The file is in /home/(username), I'm in the directory /home/(username),
do a dir and the file is there, I issue the command(s) that is/are
listed on the website for this program, what else am I suppose to be
doing? I su'd because that is required to install a program. hmmm?

Definitely.  The first is to use rpms when using an rpm based system
which openSUSE is (unless you *really* know what you are doing).

You are supposed to be using the RealPlayer rpm provided on your

So I should look to see if the file(s) are rpm first? If my memory serves me 
correct, I remember one time it (the distro that was installed at the time) 
gave me the choice to install using one of the system's programs. I'm not 
certain if it was SuSe though.

I was using Real Player as an example, but that's good info to know.  I wanted 
to try out Thunderbird but couldn't get it to install. So I'm using KMail at 
this time, which is serving the main purpose. I did manage to install the ati 
driver package though. The scrolling is better, but not where it should be, 
so I might still have some tweaking to do somewhere.

I was thinking of that. Perhaps... the from address is different for every

Note that you can send images without using HTML. Just make references 
to the attached images if necessary. There are also document formats you 
can use for this that will serve your content better.




I've tried... that is too boring, imagine several pages long 
calculations, and you have to explain in your mail why on the last page 
in the last line there should be -, instead of +. You have to refer 
form one image to another and then explain how these both interfere with 
your third image.




Read this, then correct your signature:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_block



I read it, thank you, but that didn't answer my question. So what should 
I do, create a *.txt file with my signature and using Thunderbird 
(Tools-Account Settings - Attach This Signature) attach it. I think 
I've done it and that didn't preserve my signature as it is in txt file.


My question is: How you create your signatures, and use them in 
Thunderbird(and under Windows, can't use KSig and KMail, sorry...)., Is 
it an external file with what extension?

Paifull way of working on the other sides of the planet. Friend, who I'm

I use plain text for lists, it saves many bytes. I reserve html for 
special needs. I don't see it as evil, just often unneceasry.




While we are at it, let me ask, why in plain text messages several spaces
(nbsp;) are displayed as one? When I send letter as plain text my signature
screws up, displaying not DNA there at all.

I should mention that signature is HTML file, which I attach in Thunderbird as
my signature?


You need to create a diferent signature in plain text. Use a diferent 
profile for the list, which uses plain text and sig.


I've configured TB in a way that it sends to this list only plain text 
messages. The question actually was how to create a signature in plain 
text. How it is usually done? (newbie, maybe)

You can have several diferent signatures for your different profiles 
(Thunderbird calls them identities), based on the from address, 
mostly. You need to create a plain ascii signature, there is no 
alternative.

That is, use a plain text signature for your plain text emails, and an 
html sig for your html emails. Two diferent signatures.

By hand, not program. There are some ascii art programs around, but I 
haven't tried.




Ok, I've already regitered to opensuse-test list ;), now playing there 
with it. Seems that problem is in my mail provider web-page, not general 
one.


By the way, I liked identities in TB very much. Didn't know about them 
before. Good thing.


Thank you very much again.

Ah, yes, some scanner programs (specially in windows) produce pdf output 
directly, making them simple to generate. maybe it is possible to do the 
same in Linux.

The djvu format is very interesting, it produces small files out of 
scanned material with much better readability. The strong disadvantage is 
that generating them is not easy. Programs like The Gimp can not create 
them, not even load them. The only way in Linux to create them is by 
command line, and not a simple one. Konqueror can not display it. There 
are plugins for Firefox and Iexplorer, though.

It is possible using the latest versions of xsane. It allows you to
automatically save the doc to a file and pdf is one of the formats
supported.

xsane = 0.98 can do single page pdf. xsane = 0.99 can do multi-paged
pdf prjects.

You are right, the version in 10.1 does that. I don't see it because I 
call xsane from inside the Gimp, and the options are slightly diferent (no 
save menu).

Still, no djvu.

 Why not? Typographic variation is an age-old aspect of textual

 in the 1970s when it comes to written, on-line communication?

This is a straw-man argument, and hence a fallacy.

I'm not advocating markup-laden messages. I'm not advocating using bad 
software (and Outlook is bad software--clearly if your opinion of it is 
such that you'd call it outhouse, then you're not using it, so it's 
not even relevant).

I'm just maintaining that simple typographic variation is something we 
should be able to use in email communication.

Since the whole point is that on a message-by-message and 
recipient-by-recipient basis styled email is a good thing, you can 
choose whether to send both the plain and styled forms (if your mail 
client is any good). And why on earth would you send someone malware?


I say, HTML mail is OK. And everyone hears Use all HTML, all the time 
in every venue and with the worst of all possible characteristics, 
including malware attachments.

Please don't impute your own prejudices into my argument.


Remember, the statement to which I objected is this:

 Please don't ever send someone or anyone you might like, HTML e-mail.

Do you seriously think I'm advocating sending people with whom you 
communicate directly malware attachments and email that is so laden 
with markup that its two or three times as big as the plain text 
content it bears? I am not.

I know, that is why I said he can make a reference to the image (like 
what is frequently done in both magazines and books), or use a separate 
document that is either attached to the message or referenced via a URL 
for example. The latter is better if it has to be an inline image that 
is directly next to the associated text. Otherwise the connect the 
dots solution is often good enough IMO.


Web sites use html. Nobody tells them to use plain text. Html is not evil

Agree.


Use of html by evil people can be evil. That's different.


Use of HTML in e-mail is evil (at least on a mailing list), no matter 
whether the person is evil or not. Well, that is my opinion. ;-)


Most people probably don't care or disagree, and I am fine with that. We 
don't all have to agree (or disagree). I just voiced my opinion when 
someone voiced theirs.


If you can't express yourself in pure text, then I don't want to see how 
you express yourself with HTML --at least not in an e-mail... ;-)


I have to admit I receive regular e-mails in HTML too, by choice. Some 
content is more about presentation than the message, but to me it feels 
more like one of those things that was made because it was possible and 
not because it should be done.


HTML messages are an excellent feed for spam filters though, maybe more 
useful for that than for artistic expressions.


Maybe too much are shoe-horned into the old Internet e-mail standards to 
be backwards compatible. Wonder if we're ever going to see something 
like a new generation of e-mail standards that goes beyond what is in 
SMTP/ESMTP and associated standards today.

You might be right   However

When they switched over to opensuse as a mail server from the old  
suse-linux-e, the first thing that struck me was one person sending html's to 
the list.  I don't recall what struck me as offensive the way he was doing it  
and I *do* receive a lot of html mail from others not on the list.  But this 
particular person was offensive and it caused me to make up a rule to delete 
all html coming to this list.

So it depends   but it certainly can be offensive.

That's different. I don't like html on lists, specially on suse lists, and 
I like that the server has a rule banning them: I missed that and I also 
noticed those emails coming to the list. That's very different from 
banning all html emails I receive.

In fact, my spamassassing gives them some decipoints ;-)


 the list.  I don't recall what struck me as offensive the way he was doing it 
  
 and I *do* receive a lot of html mail from others not on the list.  But this 
 particular person was offensive and it caused me to make up a rule to delete 
 all html coming to this list.
 
 So it depends   but it certainly can be offensive.

We are biased. I certainly become suspicious when I get an html email, 
and more so it is only html. But I decide on each one, I don't bann them.

After all, I use Pine for my email... html doesn't harm me ;-)

   document formats you can use for this that will serve your content

  With html the image is shown inserted in the right place in the text flow.
  With plain text he would be forced to look it up. This is comparable to
  having books with the images printed in a separata in the middle of the
  book, because the printing machine can't handle it.
 
 I know, that is why I said he can make a reference to the image (like what is
 frequently done in both magazines and books), or use a separate document that
 is either attached to the message or referenced via a URL for example. The
 latter is better if it has to be an inline image that is directly next to the
 associated text. Otherwise the connect the dots solution is often good
 enough IMO.


If someone needs to write emails with images inserted in the text, html is 
good enough for that use. Not the only solution, but it is one of the 
possible solutions.

It is also nice for newsletters and circulars.

It is just another resource, another tool that can be used and can be 
abused. That's the problem.

For instance, I receive some commercial emails that I have to glance at. 
What I strongly dislike is that often they refer to external images: they 
break my privacy, they can know when and whether I read them. So my reader 
is set not to load them unless I tell it to. 

On the other hand, loading external images has an advantage for both 
sides: they are not sent to everybody, and thus it saves resources to both.

As often, it is not the tool that is evil, but the use some make of it. 
And also very often, evil is too strong a word. Misguided users mostly.


 
  Web sites use html. Nobody tells them to use plain text. Html is not evil
  per se.
 
 Agree.
 
  Use of html by evil people can be evil. That's different.
 
 Use of HTML in e-mail is evil (at least on a mailing list), no matter whether
 the person is evil or not. Well, that is my opinion. ;-)

I wouldn't say evil, but very improper. Solution is simple: if the mail 
contains a text part, let the text part through, discard the html. The old 
suse list server did that. If it is html only, reject it giving an 
explanation.

The user may not even know he is using html. I know because many gmail 
users were not aware they were sending html to the list till the new 
opensuse server took over the old suse server.


I consider evil use of html, for instance, phising. That's evil. They are 
trying to lure somebody and steal his money. They intend real damage to 
somebody.


Hey, somebody sent last Monday an attachment to this list sized 258KB. Did 
you see it? It contains images. Last November there was a half a megabyte 
email, a log and an OOo file. That's also very improper in my book. Some 
people are paying metered connections. They should have uploaded the files 
somewhere and posted the link.

Others send a me too line leaving intact 64 Kbytes of quoted email. 
That's also improper.


Evil? That's to strong a word :-)


 Most people probably don't care or disagree, and I am fine with that. We don't
 all have to agree (or disagree). I just voiced my opinion when someone voiced
 theirs.

Ok :-)


 If you can't express yourself in pure text, then I don't want to see how you
 express yourself with HTML --at least not in an e-mail... ;-)

There is usually no need to use html. There may be, but not here.

Although... perhaps a subset allowing some typographic control would be 
nice (emphasis, underline...). But impossible to agree on such an 
standard by now, I suppose.

 I have to admit I receive regular e-mails in HTML too, by choice. Some content
 is more about presentation than the message, but to me it feels more like one
 of those things that was made because it was possible and not because it
 should be done.

Yes, too often.


 HTML messages are an excellent feed for spam filters though, maybe more useful
 for that than for artistic expressions.

True as well.

But you know, most of the spam I receive now days contain the payload in 
an image or photo. The plain text or html content is random.


 Maybe too much are shoe-horned into the old Internet e-mail standards to be
 backwards compatible. Wonder if we're ever going to see something like a new
 generation of e-mail standards that goes beyond what is in SMTP/ESMTP and
 associated standards today.

Who knows :-)

Why not? Typographic variation is an age-old aspect of textual

That's why I have been trying to contact the list owner for two days at 
least so that he is unsusbscribed, but it seems he (the owner) must be on

He (the twit) is a chap that has set an autoresponder telling every body
