Re: [SLUG] Vgetty
I have a lucent chipset and still I have no joy in getting Vgetty working. So far my project is on the backburner. Hi All, Been trying to get vgetty working with a couple of voice modems. I have a WebExcel Voice/Fax/Data V.90/K56Flex and a X-Link 56k Voice/Fax/Data modem. Essentially I don't know which modem to use from the list of vgetty supported modems. There is a script called 'vgetty-test.pl' that comes with the VoCP package (it's a frontend to vgetty) which basically tries to play a sound file on every supported vgetty modem. In my case, the tests fail on both modems. Has anyone successfully setup vgetty and can point me in the right direction to determine whether either of these modems will work with it? Also, I've tried emailing the mgetty list but it's fairly inactive so I thought I'd try SLUG. Thanks in advance for any help.

[SLUG] Opera leaking lots of memory...
Hi All, We now have water restrictions... now if only there was memory leak restrictions. /bad joke Every single day Opera seems to take approximately ~8 hours to leak enough memory to make this system lag beyond hope. Occasionally I get the chance to open an Xterm (after waiting half an hour) and kill Opera (another half hour) which brings things back to normal, but more often than not I give up after waiting long enough and reboot the box. I go to sleep and almost always wake up to a frozen screen, which makes sense as sleeping takes ~8 hours. Then it freezes again at ~5PM, which also makes sense. I'm using Opera 7.11 which is the latest stable version running on RedHat 9 kernel 2.4.20-19.7. Any ideas what may be causing it? Thanks in advance.

Good luck.
IP allocation is now so hodge-podge that one part of an IP block {a class

I have been playing with it myself over the last couple of days and I really like what I see. As backgound, I have been using CVS for ages (poorly) but was never quite happy with it. The lack of atomic commits and the difficult of enforcing policy were my main gripes but certainly not the only ones. I have also had three attempts to use Peter Miller's Aegis which Peter demoed at SLUG earlier this year. As much as I liked the ideas behind Aegis, I was simply not able to use if for my main projects which rely quite heavily on autoconf/automake/libtool. Aegis simply does not play well with these tools. It also lacks (out of the box anyway) any way of doing distributed development. TLA however seems to be able to (almost) cover my needs. It has atomic commits and it does distributed development. The one place where TLA currently misses the mark is the ability to run scripts on commit which can fail the commit if say the code fails to build. However, I spent about 10 minutes hacking around in the the TLA code (very clean and well organised) I came up with a patch will provide this facility.

Re: [SLUG] HTTP_REFERER not found [Repost]
That's exactly how I found my way onto this list. :) And I do agree whole-heartedly about: there is a difference between how do i do XYZ and please teach me how to write a dynamic web application, Yup, fair cop. Note that my post on why I won't answer this sort of question on the SLUG list was more philosophical. I guess I had two main points: (a) I reserve the right to charge for doing work that I think I should be able to charge for, while still answering questions that are simple and easy and about doing XYZ, and (b) Louis (Hi Louis!) is going to be in serious danger if he proceeds down the passing-variables-via-GET method of web programming and probably needs some more serious help than can be provided in a 2 minute QA session on SLUG. There is also only so much you can learn by asking [relatively] simple questions like those passed around here (some are not quite so simple, but the majority are) The rest we'll have to dig deeper... Agreed, and I guess this was one of my points. Louis: It might be reasonably easy to get your HTTP variables passed around by the method you're talking about but you're going to at least need to find a good book on CGI and perl and read a bit about web security to find out why it's a really bad idea to try to do what you're doing, except for very trivial applications. i.e. you might get a simple answer to a simple problem here, but I think you're going to end up with the right answer to the wrong problem.

Re: [SLUG] Vgetty
Works just fine with my Dynalink VQE1456 (model No from memory).

One thing... sometimes the default output device doesen't make sense, when using the 'vm' command eg 'vm play'. Actually, the 'vm' command is completely independent of the vgetty binary, it just uses the config to find out which modem to talk to which is probably how the test suite uses it.

went to www.xlink.com.au and the website has broken links galore so I
whois'ed the domain and called the owners and they barely know who
X-Link are and I got a name from them and he wasn't around, etc... I
rather get this Webexcel working though instead of the X-Link but at
this point any of the two will do.
One thing... sometimes the default output device doesen't make sense, when
using the 'vm' command eg 'vm play'. Actually, the 'vm' command is
completely independent of the vgetty binary, it just uses the config to
find out which modem to talk to which is probably how the test suite uses
it.
Yeah, I tried a few different output devices... internal mic/speaker,
dialup line + {int,ext} mic/speaker, etc... none worked. The modem
errored on the init commands every time for every modem.
Of course... have you tried something basic like getting the modem to
dialup something?
Yep, dialout as a regular modem is fine. I've not tested any of its
voice capabilities yet.
Thanks for your reply Grant.

Gonzalo

Re: [SLUG] Notice of motion at the next meeting.
On Wed, Oct 01, 2003, Grant Parnell wrote: How about we add my proposal of making non-member posts subject to having the email address validated much like you do when subscribing. Then we can make posting to the list available to members plus a list of validated exceptions. The validation may optionally expire after an arbitrary period of say 3 months. If we do close the list, it's probably best to limit the options to those that Mailman 2.1 (our mail software) makes relatively easy, rather than have a policy that requires we maintain additional software to implement the policy. Mailman *can* do any of open posting, closed to subscribers only, or all posts moderated. Also, Mailman does have an accept filter -- a list of non-subscribed addresses that can post without being held for moderation, so it would certainly be possible to add people to that (probably when they try to post from an unsubscribed address for the first time), but it doesn't have a expiry feature. How would this be done technically? Possibly a procmail filter that just checks if the sender is on a) main list or b) exception list, if not, generate a 'subscribe' request on the sender's behalf to the 'exceptions' mailing list that cannot be posted to, they would then have to subscribe to the exceptions list. If they're on either a) or b) lists forward onto normal mailman stuff. Mailman doesn't maintain the non subscribed, can post list as a separate *mailing list*, it's just a list of addresses somewhere in its database. So you can't *subscribe* to it. The closest equivalent is subscribing to the main list and then turning list delivery off, and that's a two step process. Most closed lists do end up saying something like if you want to post from a second address, subscribe it and turn list delivery off. Whether we'd choose maintaining an accept filter, or asking people to subscribe their other address with delivery off, or some combination, would be up to the admins probably, in the event of the vote being in favour of a closed list. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Re: [SLUG] Spam Subscriptions
Jon (or Allan if you'd prefer), The machine that subscribed to the lists was the same as the machine you're using at the moment. Since we know you're at work, that casts doubt on the whole 'home machine' argument. I've also never heard of a virus that signs people up for random mailing lists, mind you I don't pay attention to outlook virii so I can't be sure about that one. Your machine is called 'mandark' (as evidenced here by a SMTP log from one of your emails) Sep 29 16:14:27 flute sm-mta[29152]: h8T6EReK029152: from=[EMAIL PROTECTED], size=1805, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=[EMAIL PROTECTED], proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=mail.mary.acu.EDU.AU [203.10.46.15] mandark was the requester for the subscription to the windows newsletter : Received: from mandark ([203.10.46.54]) by marn1.acu.edu.au (Lotus Domino Release 5.0.12) with ESMTP id 2003093014453265:19566 ; Tue, 30 Sep 2003 14:45:32 +1000 The odds on a conincidental virus (which causes subscribtions to spam lists) infecting your machine at the same time that you're berating everyone in SLUG for not doing anything about SPAM are pretty high. If it truly is a virus, then please ensure you clean your machine to stop any future subscriptions coming from your address. Perhaps I could suggest not using your work machine for private emails, this would also solve the problem. Your abusive attitude is not welcome on the list.

quote who=Mary Gardiner Mailman doesn't maintain the non subscribed, can post list as a separate *mailing list*, it's just a list of addresses somewhere in its database. Although, just as a detail, it can do that too. You can specify that subscribers of particular mailing lists can also have unmoderated posting access to your list. There's a dirty hack on the GNOME Mailman that allows subscribers of the post-only mailing list to mail any other list without being moderated.

I guess your solution would be useful for other printers too. It's good to know you can just insert an updated ppd - I might do this with HP2100 and Kyocera 3800 drivers on my lapdog. Thanks for the follow-up. I was curious as to how it worked out for you :) --James __ A random quote of nothing: The onset and the waning of love make themselves felt in the uneasiness experienced at being alone together. -- Jean de la Bruyere -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Inbuilt macros/defines in gcc
Hi All, How can I quickly find out what internal #defines are set by gcc during compile ? Thanks in advance. Regards, Rajnish -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Yes, but the compiler also defines some - some are internal (compiled into gcc when it was built), some are based on command line switches (try adding -march=i686 and see what changes) and others are from the compiler's specs file - on a RH7.3 box, it's in: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs The i386-redhat-linux is the machine triplet used to configure gcc, 2.96 is the version number.

Re: [SLUG] YahooIM Protocol

There was a slashdot thread discussing it a week ago: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/17/2358240mode=threadtid=185tid=187 I've worked around it by downloading the Yahoo Linux (http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/download/unix.html) client and it's working (complete with banner ads and other nastyness!). However, I preferred my single jabber client (Psi) being able to access all my IM accounts. Yes I know about EveryBuddy and other all-in-one clients, but the other reason I'm running a jabber server is simply because it's open (as in the Jabber protocol is an open source/standard). Well, both Everybuddy (ayttm) and Gaim stopped working too. Apparently Gaim 0.69 works - I'm just compiling it up now.
