acpi
by Wesley Allen March 31, 2003

March 31, 2003

Hi gang, ACPI is FINALLY compiled into Mandrake's kernel; but I'm having a hitch. While the kernel will boot with acpi enabled every now and again, most times it gets to a point where keventd is called for and the kernel message is that it hasn't started yet. Any ideas what on earth might be happening? I'm going to the acpi list as well, but I'd see if any of you linux laptop users have had this problem (there are google hits for this problem, but I'm hitting a dead end there). Wes

stupid question
by Wesley Allen March 29, 2003

March 29, 2003

Hi gang, I've hit a snag with mdk 9.1, the driver for my web cam no longer supports the default palette for gnomemeeting. So it tells me to check my driver docs to see what palettes are supported.... where is a good place to find kernel-driver docs? The module is pwc in case you were wondering.....

WLUG website idea
by Andy Stewart March 29, 2003

March 29, 2003

HI everybody, I had an idea...let me know what you think of it. I was thinking about creating a part of the WLUG website that would be a set of links to open source projects in which WLUG members are actively involved. For example, I wrote the users' guide for the GimpPrint software, so there would be a link to the GimpPrint website. If you think this is a good idea, please send me e-mail with your name, project name, and your involvement (doc writer, coder, tester, etc). Thanks, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Tonight...
by Keller, Tim March 27, 2003

March 27, 2003

I'm not sure what Maddog's rules are on this, but would anybody (specifically, those at WPI, who might have access to the equipment) be interested in taping the lecture tonight? I've got access to a NLE machine and a DVD-R burner, so I could make DVD's out of the lecture if people would be interested. Thanks, Tim.

RE: [Wlug] Weird garbage characters in info/man
by Keller, Tim March 27, 2003

March 27, 2003

Eureka! I can't take credit for finding the fix, my co-worker found it on Usenet via google groups... The temporary solution was to export LANG=en_US the permanent solution is to edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n to make it permanent. I hope this helps others...

add memory, loose sound?
by Bill Mills-Curran March 27, 2003

March 27, 2003

I just added 128 MB of memory to my Dell Optiplex GX1, and now my sound card (on motherboard CS 4236) is no longer recognized. It's possible that I did something bad to the motherboard when inserting the memory cards. Or, is there any way that adding memory (now 128 + 128 + 64) could disable the sound? TIA, Bill

Hi Everybody, I'm sending out this reminder early in the hope that we'll have alot of people coming to this WLUG meeting. At this meeting, our guest speaker will be Jon 'maddog' Hall. maddog is the executive director of Linux International and a great speaker. He has spoken at two (or three?) previous WLUG meeting and we're happy to have him back again. The meeting will be held in Kinnicutt Hall on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA (the usual place). If you need directions, they can be found on the WLUG website. Light refreshments will be served, and I'll bring a couple of items for the free (as in beer) raffle. After the meeting, we'll go out for pizza and beer at the Boynton Restaurant. Please pass the word around to all of your Linux friends! Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org
