Wanted: short talks, posters and demos on web software
by MJ Ray 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

As discussed at the last meeting, next month's ALUG meeting in King's Lynn will be on Wed 18 Feb and have the theme: "How The Web Works on GNU/Linux" It will be an introduction to using and creating web sites with GNU/Linux. If you can talk about something related to this for 5-20 minutes, prepare an A2 display or bring a demonstration system, please email me directly. We have some speakers, but I think it's still all quite flexible. You don't need to be a guru, just be willing to share your experiences. Plenty of help is available. Also, if you know that you want to come to the meeting (or help organise it!), please email me. Announcements of this meeting will appear in the town's libraries and computer shops this week. It will also be announced to web sites, mailing lists and newsgroups as normal. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. Please http://remember.to/edit_messages on lists to be sure I read http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ gopher://g.towers.org.uk/ slef(a)jabber.at Creative copyleft computing services via http://www.ttllp.co.uk/

Let me know if you need to do this and want some help! Cheers, Richard

Konqueror keeps its bookmarks in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml. The XML element for a bookmark is like this: <bookmark icon="/path/to/icon.png" href="http://www.coolsite.net/" > <title>Cool Site</title> </bookmark> It also has a <folder> element for defining folders in the favourites menu. That might be helpful?? Cheers, Richard

favourite URLs
by Bryce Martin 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

Can I somehow transfer all the favourite bookmarks I've set up in Netscape 7.1 and copy them all to a location so that they will appear ready to go in Konqueror? I was thinking there may be a folder in Koquerer where I just need to copy these URLs. I've tried finding them in Netscape without success, and I also don't know where to place them in Konqueror to make them work. -- Bye, Bryce.

Free to a good home
by Wayne Stallwood 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

I am starting to have a clearout of some old junk. I think I have offered this to the group before, but this really is the last time before it goes in the skip. HP Deskjet 640c Old now but works fine under Linux using either the Parallel or USB interface, comes with a USB lead, but sorry I don't have a spare Parallel port one. No idea how much ink is in the cartridges, and a vague suspicion that the replacements will cost more than the printer is worth. But I just powered it up and it works fine. If anybody in the Bury St Edmunds area wants to come and take it off my hands I'll even make them a cup of tea.

3d nvidia graphics support
by Bryce Martin 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

I'm using SuSE 9 and my PC has an nVidia MX400 graphics card. My system doesn't have 3d graphics hardware support. This is because SuSE has stopped shipping with this feature, but the manual says you can still download this feature. But I've been to the nvidia site and can't find a driver that will do the job. Does anyone know what to do to get 3d graphics support for SuSE 9? -- Bye, Bryce.
