REMINDER: WLUG Meeting Wed March 23rd 7:00 PM
by Andy Stewart March 22, 2005

March 22, 2005

HI Everybody, We have a WLUG meeting coming up this week on Wednesday, March 23rd, at 7:00 PM in the Access Grid room on the WPI Campus in Worcester, MA USA. At this meeting, yours truly will be giving a talk about how Linux was used to create video DVDs from files created by a TV capture card. In this talk, there will be a demo of simple video editing, creation of the DVD menu, and creation of the DVD files and directory structure. If there is time, we might be visited by Drs. Howard, Fine, and Howard. I'll have two books for the no-cost raffle. Maybe someone will come to the meeting just to try to win one of these: Building Applications with the Linux Standard Base The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System After the meeting, anybody who is intersted can join the crowd for some pizza either across campus or on Highland Street. WLUG meetings are open to the public. There are no admission fees or membership dues. We do accept small donations if you are feeling generous. :-) Soda and cookies will be provided at the meeting. See ya later, Andy (Digital signature intentionally left blank until I figure out how to get Thunderbird 1.0 to use gpg.....enigmail isn't working for me....yet) -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org

Thanks for all the suggestions re. changing default email client - I found the selectable preferences under the Gnome Control Center - couldn't find anything equivlent in the KDE Control Center though. Now all I have to do is figure out how to have the kPilot memos (that I synched from my Visor Prism) to transfer to the Notes module in Kontact Raja Mukherjee

Opera - tie-ins to thunderbird

March 19, 2005

Hi Everyone, Last question for awhile. I swear. Anyway, has anyone had luck configuring Opera to use an alternate mail client than the native M2? I am trying to get it to call Thunderbird but I've had mixed results. I reviewed the Opera Support Knowledge base article located at the link below but nothing I do seems to work. http://www.opera.com/support/search/supsearch.dml?index=472 -- Thank you, Andrew Robert Systems Architect Information Technologies Massachusetts Financial Services Phone: (617) 954-5882 Pager: (781) 945-1742 E-mail: arobert(a)mfs.com

Looking Glass on Fedora Core 3
by Andrew Robert March 18, 2005

March 18, 2005

Hi everyone, I 'm contemplating installing the new Sun Looking Glass 3D desktop on Fedora Core 3. Has anyone had any experience doing this? The instructions located at https://lg3d-core.dev.java.net/lg3d-getting-started.html seem pretty straight forward but I was wondering if there were any gotcha's. Likewise, does anyone know of a repository with RPM's for this to make my life easier? Any information you might have on this would be welcome. -- Thank you, Andrew Robert Systems Architect Information Technologies Massachusetts Financial Services Phone: (617) 954-5882 Pager: (781) 945-1742 E-mail: arobert(a)mfs.com
