Upcoming meeting activities - ideas needed
by Andy Stewart March 14, 2003

March 14, 2003

Hi everybody, I'm starting to plan for the next two or three WLUG meetings. I wanted to have them planned in advance, as I did with the first few meetings of the year 2003. Here's a summary of what we did (or tried to do): Jan 03 - Handhelds and Linux with Wes Allen's IPAQ (good meeting!) Feb 03 - LAN Party (not well attended, unfortunately) Mar 03 - maddog speaks to WLUG Can somebody tell me why the LAN party was not well attended? I'd like to plan meetings that you folks *want* to attend. :-) I hope to schedule activities for the April, May, and June meetings. Here are some ideas which I've culled from past e-mails on this subject: o security / ip tables meeting / firewalls (should we ask Bob Ziegler to return?) o printer drivers, namely gimp-print or foomatic If you have other ideas, or if you would like to volunteer to give a talk, please let me (or the list) know. Thanks! Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

What would be even funnier if at the bottom there was a little "Made with pride on a MAC using Adobe Illustrator" Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Wes Allen [mailto:wallen@charter.net] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 6:28 AM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: Re: [Wlug] funny On Tuesday 11 March 2003 12:59 am, Keith Wright wrote: > > From: Wes Allen <wallen(a)charter.net> > > > > I've got somethign to make you smile.... > > It didn't work. > > > Go to NHL.com and take a REAL good look at the page...... > > Is it just me or does one of the logos seem out of place? > > OK, I just spent more time reading the Sports Page in the last > 90 seconds than I have in the preceding five years, I see a Sun > logo and a MSN logo and a bunch of stuff I don't care about at > all.

reaction-diffusion program
by Gregory Avedissian March 7, 2003

March 7, 2003

I'm trying to run a reaction-diffusion modeling program. Below is the link to the tarball. I was able to install it after editing the makefile (added -LX11R6 to the LIBS section, per generic instructions I found on a google search for the error message I got when make failed.) Here's the current problem: When I try to run the program with the sample parameters given in the readme.txt, I get the error message, "bad status from XAllocColorCells Segmentation fault" Note: I get occasional segmentation faults, possibly due to a flaky power supply. Those seem to be less frequent since I vacuumed the dust and cat hair out of the box. Here's a link to the tarball, in case anyone has the time or inclination to mess with it and/or offer advice. Oh yeah, I'm running SuSE 7.2. http://www.gvu.gatech.edu/people/faculty/greg.turk/reaction_diffusion/code/… Thanks, Greg

shared calendar (web-based)?
by Bill Mills-Curran March 5, 2003

March 5, 2003

I have some guys I work with who would like to be able to use a web-based tool to help schedule ping-pong games. Part of the requirement is that the players don't always have a partner and they would like to advertise available times so that someone else is encouraged to arrange a match with them. I already have an old web calendar program, which works, but I'm not very enthusiastic about it. Does anyone have a recommendation of a web tool that will work? FYI, I'm running Red Hat 8.0. TIA, Bill

Re: [Wlug] Samba shares
by Michael Long March 4, 2003

March 4, 2003

It turned out that there was a file that was a soft link to another in that directory. I guess that that confused windows. I would have expected windows to copy all but that linked file, but nooooo!!! it had to fail with a very nondescript error that was useless. <sarcasm>I just love windows</sarcasm> Mike > on the linux system checkt he permissions of the sub directories.. > Have read and execute permmmisions? > > On Tue, 4 Mar 2003, Michael Long wrote: > > > > > I have a directory which has been shared out using samba.

Samba shares
by Michael Long March 4, 2003

March 4, 2003

I have a directory which has been shared out using samba. I now need to move some of those files including subdirectories to a windows box running windows 2000 server. From the windows box I can copy files from the samba share but the subdirectories on the samba share fail to copy. Is this a samba issue or a winblows issue? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Java Question...
by Daukas, Stephen C March 4, 2003

March 4, 2003

Hey guys! I have a really short Java question for you... How does one make a system call from Java? I want to be able to run a Linux command, e.g., System("command"); in C. The idea behind this is that I'm writing an example Java program to install an application, for example Postfix, that I may want to use as an example for Students... Later! Steve
