In Fedora Core 3 there is Preferences -> More Preferences -> Preferred Applications which works for Web Browser, Mail Reader, Text Editor, and Terminal.

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 ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug End of Wlug Digest, Vol 17, Issue 13 ************************************

Opera - tie-ins to thunderbird
by Andrew Robert 19 Mar '05

19 Mar '05

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 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

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

Re: SuSE 9.1 YaST2 online_update problem
by Tom Misilo 18 Mar '05

You can only upgrade SLES9 if you have the upgrade key from SuSE Themselves I recommend downloading SUSE 9.2 DVD or FTP install if this is only for a personal use OS ~Tom "Hi All, I just installed the SuSE SLES 9 (kernel 2.6.5-7.97). I can't get the 'YOU' utility to work. A box pops up asking for a username/password pair. I have this set up to run automatically every day at 5:00AM, but it fails with an error message "Unable to check for updates". If I run the YOU GUI by hand, a box pops up asking for authentication data (a username and password). During the installation of the O/S, it actually ran YOU successfully and downloaded some updates. I've looked at the /etc/sysconfig/onlineupdate file and I can't see anything obviously wrong. There is a password file in /var/lib/YaST2/you. I've tried using the root password, my personal password, but nothing works. What am I overlooking?

I found the answer to my problem in <http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=26681&page=4> All I needed to do was to "yum install gnome-python2-gnomevfs.i386" It took a while, but that's alright:-) Thanks everyone. Ken Jones

Re: Unsuccessfull installation of gDesklets...
by Ken Jones 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Before my plea could be published on the WLUG list Jared Greenwald suggested that I look harder for a RPM version of gDesklets. I found one in http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/packages.php It worked! Thanks everyone just for being there. Ken Jones

Unsuccessful installation of gDesklets
by Ken Jones 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

You've piqued my interest in gDesklets. I am trying to install it with no success. I am running Fedora Core 3. The README warns me not to attempt to compile this package, but it offers me no alternative. I downloaded, unzipped and tar'd gDesklets-0.34.2.tar.bz2. I ran the configure file. It failed for lack of pygtk-2.0. (see below) I downloaded, unzipped and tar'd pygtk-2.4.1.tar.bz2. This successfully compiled and installed. I even helped by modifying and exporting environmental PKG_CONFIG_PATH But still gDesklets did not. Any ideas? -----snip of command [kjones@kjones-fedora gDesklets-0.34.2]$ ./configure . . checking for pygtk-2.0 >= 2.4.0 pyorbit-2 >= 2.0.1 gnome-python-2.0 >= 2.6.0... Package pygtk-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pygtk-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'pygtk-2.0' found configure: error: Library requirements (pygtk-2.0 >= 2.4.0 pyorbit-2 >= 2.0.1 gnome-python-2.0 >= 2.6.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. --------------------- I successfully installed pgytk-2.4.1. Here is the last step: [root@kjones-fedora pygtk-2.4.1]# make install Making install in codegen . . make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/kjones/downloads/FedoraCore3/pygtk-2.4.1/tests' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kjones/downloads/FedoraCore3/pygtk-2.4.1/tests' [root@kjones-fedora pygtk-2.4.1]# I set PKG_CONFIG_PATH as suggested. [kjones@kjones-fedora pygtk]$ ls $PKG_CONFIG_PATH pygtk-2.0 [kjones@kjones-fedora pygtk]$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/bin/include [kjones@kjones-fedora pygtk]$ Still no good. What do you think?
