Re: [SLUG] Citrix client fails to open app

Using version 6.3 of the ICA Client, wfcmgr will start up, since it does not demand libXm.so.3. I now have the rather complex task of configuring this desktop client to find the Citrix server which is accessible only when I have started a Juniper Secure Application Manager tunnel. It all seems happy - just how to configure the client. If I attempt to open the Citrix web client in Iceweasel I see that Iceweasel does not handle the ICA connection - it says I must install the software, which turns out to be the linuxx86.tar.gz installation package. My understanding of reading the install manual and the many internet postings is that the web service is the role of npica.so. The web access seems to promise an almost configuration-free way to go so I'm keen to go this way if possible.

[SLUG] getting SUSE 10.3 on a Mac PowerPC...
Hello! I was hoping to get friendly with Linux so I decided to invite it home. To meet the family, especially my powerPC mac. Does anyone have any tips (instructions? where to get instructions?) on how to install SUSE 10.3 on the powerPC mac? I have burnt the mac version of SUSE 10.3 but don't know what application to open it with. Or which file to open first. Flailing around has been fun, but not very productive. Perhaps I need to boot from the dvd? I'm afraid I don't know how to do it. I restart with the dvd in the drive and it opens up normally to mac os. Any suggestions would be very welcome.

[SLUG] Remove alpha channel from PNG
Sluggers, I'm using the FPDF libraries in PHP to generate pdf documents. I need to include some .png images into the document which have an Alpha Channel. The image function in FPDF doesn't support the reading of .pngs with alpha but it does support true colour 24 bit. Does anyone know of a simple cmd-line utility that can remove the alpha channel from a .png? Or alternative suggestions?

This one time, at band camp, Peter Rundle wrote: Does anyone know of a simple cmd-line utility that can remove the alpha channel from a .png? man pngtopnm These two switched look like they'll do what you want. Kinda crappy that it doesn't support alpha channels! -mix Compose the image with the transparency or alpha mask against a the background. When a background chunk is available that color is taken, else black will do. -background color If no background color chunck is present in the png-file, or when another color is required this parameter can be used to set the background color of images. This is especially useful for alpha-channel images or those with transparency chunks. The for‐ mat, to specify the color in, is either (in the case of orange) 1.0,0.5,0.0, where the values are floats between zero and one, or with the syntax #RGB, #RRGGBB or # where R, G and B are hexa-decimal numbers. -- Rev Simon Rumble [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Just because you're on holiday, doesn't mean you're not a geek. http://engineer.openguides.org/ Bore, n.
