Seeking help with xine

by Walt Sawyer

Hi all, I'm having some trouble with xine. It used to work, but, for no apparent reason, I get error messages that say "-xine engine error- There is no demuxer plugin available to handle /xine-ui_logo.mpv." and "There is no demuxer plugin available to handle whatever file that I tried to open". Can anyone help me? Thanks! Walt

REMINDER: Meeting next week (Wed Nov 8)

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI gang, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held on Wednesday, November 8th, at 7:00 PM in the Access Grid room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. We don't currently have a speaker for this meeting. Are there any volunteers? If not, I could try to give a talk about the Smart Package Manager, which (thanks to Greg Avedissian) I have been using on my laptop for a month or two. If other folks know more about this than I know, it could turn into a discussion where we could all learn something new. I'm not sure that there's enough here to take up a full meeting, but it would certainly get us started. Let me know if this is of interest. Naturally, we'll adjourn to the Tech Pizza restaurant after the meeting for more socializing. See ya there!

I am biased about that, of course. :) Same here. I don't use Exim, but I do use SpamAssassin and am pretty happy with it. I've also heard that CRM-114 works very well, but is difficult to set up. The author lives in Acton, is very active on a local motorcyclist email list, has done welding for me in exchange for beer, and appeared on a couple seasons of Junkyard Wars (Crash of the New England Rubbish Deconstructionists). So maybe I can't recommend CRM-114, but I can certainly recommend the author. :) -- Rich

Hi all, Can anyone recommend a good Spam filter that hooks into the Exim MTA? I'm looking for something that is updated regularly but doesn't require much of my time. Thanx in Advance, Michael Z

Not A Lixnux Question, But

by Mims Research

Hi all, My organization is considering submitting an application to the FCC for a non-commercial full power radio station. An FCC window for applications will open sometime in early 2007. I need an engineer who has the resources and willingness to help us with this. I know there is mapping of spectrum involved and I know we must submit engineering data to the FCC with our application. I just don't know any engineers who can do this, so I thought I'd toss it out here. Our agency is a non-profit PEG station located in Athol, Massachusetts. We need to find alternatives to communications because the future of cable access television is constantly in jeopardy. I can explain more if you like. Any resources you might be able to offer would be great. We do have a small stipend we can offer, so it's not a totally freebie job. But we really do need someone who knows how to do *this* and who would be willing to guide us through the process. Thanks for your ideas, Marie MacDonald Athol, Mass. mimsresearch(a)gmail.com

If you're using a graphical package manager, such as Synaptic, there should be a button or menu choice to update (not to be confused with 'upgrade') Greg

Xandros/Debian newbie question

by Andrew Perry

Being a trusting fellow and having faith in Tux magazine in particular, I decided to spend $60 on Xandros 4 Desktop Linux, based on a review in the Septmeber issue. >From the review it appeared that Xandros was like a better version of Freespire/Linspire: even more useful software like RealPlayer out of the box, better documentation and support, and at least as easy to ise. Whatever software wasn't included directly in the distro, I figured, would be available with one or two clicks from Xandros networks- or at least from Debian. Problem is, there seems to be very little software available from Xandros networks (maybe 50 packages), and my 4 year old daughter's favorite software gcompris is not available. (By the way, she's going to get her own computer soon, and she says she would never run Windows, only Linux.) Xandros warns you against selecting any other repository other than their own, yet I (recklessly?)selected the "unsupprted debian site" as a second repository- but with no luck - still no gcompris and few choices. I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas ? (Thanks in advance. You guys are great!) -Dr. Andrew B.
