Re: [Wlug] Missing Inkscape from Suse Linux 9.2

I have SUSE 10 installed, and I'm sure it's on the DVD (though I already had Inkscape installed under 9.2.) If it's not there, it's easily available at Inkscape. In fact, it might be better to download it because the version on the 9.n distribution set would not be the latest and greatest. HW

Missing Inkscape from Suse Linux 9.2
by douglas.r.aker＠verizon.com Sept. 14, 2006

Sept. 14, 2006

Hi All: Recently, I installed Suse Linux Pro 9.2 on an HP laptop. The box the software came in prominently lists, as an included program, Inkscape, the open-source vector graphics editor. The mystery is that I can find no reference to Inkscape anywhere in the system, not even in Yast when searching in the "Install and Remove Software" dialog. Now perhaps I messed up and didn't choose Inkscape during the initial install, but shouldn't Yast still list Inkscape as a "Not Installed" package? My other thought is that perhaps Inkscape is included when you install from the 2 DVD's, but somehow Novell messed up and didn't include it on the 5 CD's. Thanks, Doug

RAZR w/ Linux, Ruby tutorial
by Bill Smith Sept. 10, 2006

Sept. 10, 2006

There are several things I want to mention... First, I was talking to someone about accessing the RAZR from Linux via USB. (Sorry-- I'm terrible with names.) The program that I use is moto4lin, and is available for free from SourceForge at: http://moto4lin.sourceforge.net/wiki/Main_Page . One may (or may not) need p2kmoto, which is available from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/moto4lin (the information is available from the main page). All-told, the installation of both parts are covered in the documentation, and it's pretty straight-forward. Second, I had asked several about Ruby tutorials, and mentioned that I found one source that was a bit... ...odd, though I couldn't remember the name of it. It is "Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby, which is found at http://poignantguide.net/ruby/ . Third, as for a list of what my employer has for what we are getting rid of, we're in the process of building a list... When something is available, I'll let you know. :) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- William Smith wsmith-at-chezsmith-dot-com Fall River, MA http://www.chezsmith.com "In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.

Looking for some insight from you folks. Does anyone have experience with this? Here are some params: Runs on linux Does not need to be open source but that's a bonus Standard software platform i.e. Java / PHP / Perl based SOE friendly (nice urls, shallow link depth , crawlable catalog) Ability to manage inventory and fulfillment. (this is more of a bonus) Any thoughts ?

CentOS?
by Pete Wason Sept. 7, 2006

Sept. 7, 2006

Hiall, Anyone working with CentOS? I have a RH8 server that needs to join the party. Any remote possibility that CentOS can upgrade RH8, or do I need to backup everything and start from scratch? Yes, I know it's a wacky question. :) PS: And, DAMN AOL! PPS: if this message is HTML, let me know; I'm still learning Thunderbird... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Pete Wason* Hy Noom Publications /codevark(a)aim.com/ 508.865.5414

bacula
by Mike Leo Sept. 6, 2006

Sept. 6, 2006

Someone at the cook-out mentioned they were using bacula for backups. I have just installed it and I have a DLT tape drive. I have it confugered OK and i can connect to my fd (client) and my sd (storage device). To keep things simple, lets say that I am doing everything on one server. I can label the tapes and even backup to my "File" device. My question is, what/where do I build a list of jobs to run? Lets say I want a "Full" backup of the system, and a seperate backup of just /home. Where do these jobs get defined, etc etc etc. This seems to be the only piece I am missing in the doc's. thanks mike

Figured it out. /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf has different "File Sets" that define that. thanks

ALSA - mic trouble
by Eric Stein Sept. 3, 2006

Sept. 3, 2006

Hi, When I first set up my Ubuntu machine, everything worked fine. But for the last few months (I don't remember exactly how long), my mic has refused to work. Nothing I use can pick up any signal from it. I've tried all the mixers (alsamixer, kmix, the built in GNOME mixer), and none of them show the mic as muted. Is there a way to reset ALSA's volumes and other mixer settings to defaults? I can't seem to find information about this online, and this lack of a fully working sound system has me on the end of my rope. Info: Ubuntu Breezy 5.10 Linux pippin 2.6.12-10-386 #1 Tue Jul 18 22:08:27 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux I'm prepared to spend a good deal of time on this, but I don't know what I need to do. If you need more information, let me know how to get it and I'll be happy to share it. Eric
