Non Linux mozilla issue

by Adam Keck

Here at MW we are blessed with Solaris workstations in addition to Linux. On Solaris 8 we have been unable to get the binary version from mozilla.org to run. It dies silently trying to load gtk. I compiled and installed gtk from gtk.org to no avail. Anyone run into this? Have any hints?

Anyway, just upload all your mail to an imap server, and download it with your client of choice. I've de-outlooked many folks' mailboxes that way. -Chuck

When it comes to E-mail migrating old msg's is the problem. Others are just what I'm use too :) I'll take a look at the links and play around some more before I do to much. I still need to do some minor upgrading before I switch so that Linux will be easier to install :) (Tim K. Don't worry this will be a basic client only install - for now :) ) We'll see this will probably take a month to get things rolling.

Palm desktop should be no problem with Mandrake. I was running a Palm on Suse no problem last year. If you're using a recent Linux distribution I'm sure the programs have been upgraded now with newer features. I'm using a Zaurus PDA now so I'm not that up to date on Palm. Eudora, someone in this thread mentioned a program on converting mail files give it a try.

RE: [Wlug] I need to run some win apps

by Marc Hughes

Hiya Geoff! Are you looking to actually run those programs, or just for equivelant solutions for those uses? If it's the later, I'd strongly suggest checking out Evolution for Email & PIM (palm) functions. http://www.ximian.com/products/evolution/ And you could convert your old Eurdora email file to evolution format with http://freshmeat.net/projects/ceiconvert/?topic_id=28%2C87 A native app will usually be a lot nicer to use, than emulating a windows app. If you absolutely need THOSE apps, you can try wine, which works with some apps, mileage may vary. Or you can use VMWare which will actually emulate an entire computer and let you install windows on that emulated computer. (VMWare is commercial software). There's other options, but those are the 2 that stick out in my mind. Now ... I know nothing about HAM radio, so I'll just say that if you really need to run those specific windows apps, you might have a hard time since (I'm assuming) they somehow talk to the funky hardware. But there are some native apps out there... http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=HAM+radio&section=projects&x=0&y=0 Just a few thoughts. -Marc -----Original Message----- From: wlug-admin(a)mail.wlug.org [mailto:wlug-admin@mail.wlug.org] On Behalf Of Geoff Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 1:39 AM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: [Wlug] I need to run some win apps Hi, I need to run a few windows applications on Linux.

Hi, I need to run a few windows applications on Linux. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

Meeting over the Access Grid?

by Frank Sweetser

As a few of you may already know, WPI has just recently installed an Access Grid Node. For those of you who have never heard of the Access Grid project, it's a completely immersive video conferencing system - like traditional videoconferencing, but arranged such that the technology portion becomes invisible, and you can converse with others as if they were in the same room. More details at http://www.accessgrid.org/ My idea was that if we could find a couple of remote sites with people who might be interested in joining us, we could have a meeting over the Access Grid. A list of other Access Grid sites is up at http://www-fp.mcs.anl.gov/fl/accessgrid/nodes.htm and includes BU at least. If anyone knows anyone else at any of these sites who would be interested, we can start seeing about scheduling the time needed in all of the spaces. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu WPI Network Engineer
