No, I'm not going to do an apt-get repository for it. I won't be leaving the packages there permanently. Basically, installing things outside of the package management system into anywhere other than /usr/local will annoy the hell out of dpkg. It's best to keep everything within the packaging system, because that way you can track everything easily, and satisfy dependencies - and building debian packages is pretty simple. But you can always put stuff into /usr/local, and play with equivs and symlinks to satisfy dependencies if necessary. - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Oh well, I've put the necessary source up now at the same spot. You'll want to do the following: 1) Untar freetype_2.1.4-4.tar.gz 2) cd freetype-2.1.4 3) Ensure all the build-deps are installed (see debian/control for that) 4) debian/rules binary 5) cd .. 6) Install libfreetype6 and libfreetype6-dev 7) Untar xpdf_2.02pl1-1.tar.gz 8) cd xpdf-2.02pl1 9) Ensure all the other build deps are installed (lesstif2-dev doesn't exist in woody; use libmotif-dev instead) 10) debian/rules binary 11) cd .. 12) Install whatever gets you excited.

[SLUG] Exim and root mail
Hi, I have 2 machines I am remotely administering for which I want exim to only send root mail. I do not want it to accept any mail from other hosts, which is always only spam and ends up getting frozen for the lack of a local part. The root mail is to go to my ordinary user account on the machines, from where it is handled by a .forward to my account on my home machine. I am looking for the config to stop exim accepting external mail but so far cannot find it. Can anyone give a quick answer, or point me to where I should be rtfm-ing?

I have just pulled down xpdf version 2.02 from foolabs.com and compiled it. It works fine but I have not yet done 'make install'. In this case xpdf is not needed for anything i.e. nothing depends on it so it's easy to remove. If there were things that needed a pdf viewer that would be more troublesome. Certainly I gather doing an install over the top of an existing package would confuse the packaging system. (In this case) I would just install xpdf from upstream source into /usr/local/ and remove the xpdf-reader package. If you found something that depended on xpdf-reader, you could just install it again and have both versions (the old .deb and the new /usr/local version) simultaneously installed - provided you put /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin in $PATH everything should just work. /usr/local exists for a reason, not everything has to be done through packages ;) -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] Automated secretary anyone?
Below's just some thoughts I had last night inspired by the fact I can spend a day at the office being really busy but can't remember where the time's gone and often forget important stuff. Like a lot of small businesses we can't afford a secretary to keep us in line. Does anybody have a clue if there's something like this already? It's not exactly something I can easily think up a search for. Although I tried and found mostly Windows stuff that wasn't really close enough to what I had in mind. Automatic time tracker / secretary == Keeping tabs on you --- * pops up and asks what you're doing every 15 mins to which you give a one or two word response EG phoning Tom * if no response checks least idle terminal every half hour sends message to it * if terminal idle for 2 hours but email gets sent, send an email * email says what are you up to? to which you reply with a short explanation * if it can't find you, when you're back it asks what were you up to between xx and yy time? * perhaps impliment a jabber bot * perhaps in future provide an SMS gateway Reminding you - * things scheduled for certain times dates should pop up when due and/or when the reminder time is set. * Frequency of reminders based on how responsive you appear (eg, no point telling you something's on in 5 minutes if you're not listening). Summaries - * Should provide you a timesheet of what's happened each day which should be filled in returned. * Should provide weekly monthly timesheet/reports Ingredients --- SQL database for schedules event logs A reminder daemon - lets you know what's on A contact daemon - keeps track of the best way to contact you and provides a communication channel for other programs A command processor - when info comes back from the contact daemon it must be interpreted either in the context of a reply or a new command. EG You should be able to send an email to the secretary with something like Schedule meeting 9am with Tom and it will know that since it's 10am at time of writing you mean the next working day and the meeting's at your office. If it doesen't understand it can email you some examples and ask for clarification. -- ---GRiP--- Grant Parnell - senior consultant EverythingLinux services - the consultant's backup tech support.

[SLUG] scanning, 'copyshop' app ?
I'm trying to set up an HP scanner on RH7.3 *if* I run xsane as root, xsane warns me of dire consequences of doing so, and, if I accept these risks, it just runs *if* I try to run xsane as a user, I get 'no device present' I've symlinked /dev/sc0 to /dev/scanner and set rwxrwxrwx as root, I can access scanner as either device (hmmm, perhaps I need to chmod /dev/sc0 and not symlink... /dev/scanner, perhaps that's where I went rwong... don't have access to it right now to test) also: is there a CopyShop like scanner app for scanning pages for fax or imaging, from my brief look at xsane, it seems it more amed at image/single page scanning, or have I missed something ?

[SLUG] How to install Pie-menus and RadialContext in Mozilla
Hi all, I wanted to just see what these pie-menus were like mwith Mozilla. The page for it is at: http://optimoz.mozdev.org/piemenus/ Well that has an install link which only works if you have started Mozilla as root. Its an xpi extension but if you save it you just get the web page, nothing to install. You have to click the link so it can install it for you and hold your hand. Googling finds lots of links to how to install pie menus. Here is a typical one the actions you perform will have no effect until you install RadialContext yourself (simple if you are root, as always). Brilliant ! I am not going to do that. How do I get and install this thing? Anyone done it? -- Mike Lake Caver, Linux enthusiast and interested in anything technical.

[SLUG] Mailing list anti-spam suggestions
Just a thought, since you're passing the emails through possibly a number of filters, can you include in the headers the results of these scans. EG x-slug-spamassasin: x-slug-scanner-x: x-slug-amavis: suspect {ok this is probably redundant} x-slug-member-status: non-member x-slug-tmda-status: confirmed This way people can adjust their own tolerance levels in their own filters quite trivially. Another suggestion, is something a customer of mine asked me to finish implimenting. http://www.tmda.net with an auto-white-list facility. Basically you send an email, it asks you to confirm you're a real person by replying to the special email address, when you reply it forwards the orgiginal email and adds you to the white-list. This would mean that every time you post from an new email address that's not the one you subscribed with, you must confirm it, thereafter it just lets you send without confirmation. ---GRiP--- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

I can see what Richard is saying - if we can't stop it at the source (i.e. the slug server), then you need something that can delete spam BEFORE it leaves your ISP. Jon P.S. And I know I can't do this with my isp, which is why I'm changing !! -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
