Want a Palm or Psion copy of a document? Load it into abiword and save it out as one, then! Yes, I know it's been there a while, but I only just found it ;-) -- MJR Do you need advice about the Internet or particular net services? Why not talk to my employers?

`Microsoft' ® advertising on ALUG main

If you go to :- http://www.microsuxx.com/ you can get Email that does'nt print adverts for `Microsoft' ® products on the ALUG main, (or any of the other lists). This is just a suggestion, offering a guide to alternative free Email not an ivitation for rebarbative remarks. (I have no wish to offend, having begun my postings to this list via `Outlook' ®).

Sorry poor grammar and phrasing. See the Cambridge LUG site for details on `their' cellar and the activities carried out therein. John Seago

Jinxed!
by Ricardo Campos 05 Oct '01

05 Oct '01

As soon as I get going, something goes wrong again.... I was using XMMS, and decided to play one of the plug-ins, 'blur'. It was quite cool. I turned XMMS off, came to my computer the next day and hey presto! Opening an MP3 or OGG file, or just clicking on the XMMS applet brings up the plug in window that either a) hangs ad infinitum ad nauseum -until I Xkill it b) comes up then the window disappears. This occurs in Gnome AND KDE. I'm using MDK8.0 I'm pretty sure it must be the plug in, as it was the only thing that changed. I've looked in /usr/shar/apps/xmms but it doesn't appear to have any conf files, so I assume that it is stored in a conf file for my log in. Where is this?

Re: [Alug] PCMCIA modems
by Peter Delf 05 Oct '01

I managed to get my LT modem in my Toshiba laptop working by downloading the driver sources from a link on linmodems.org, installing the kernel-headers and running one of the scripts (I think it was called 'make_deb') in the driver distribution. They also include scripts like 'make_rpm' for other distros packaging systems. For more info please email me. Just thought it might give you hope. I'm still quite the fresh faced newbie but my learning curve has been very steep of late. Pete http://www.uea.ac.uk/u9947868

I think even if it's just near Cambridge, we should invite them as a matter of courtesy. I'm cc'ing this to Cam-LUG to see if they're interested in a weekend meeting at Red Lodge in November. Hopefully their list respects reply-to headers and we'll now have a short cross-over. -- MJR Do you need advice about the Internet or particular net services? Why not talk to my employers?
