Andy, Let me know what you'd like for CD's for the install-fest and the quantity and I'll get them produced. Also, I can get together a wlug-goodies cd with all the latest kernel/patches/etc. Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Stewart [mailto:andystewart@attbi.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 20:22 PM To: Worcester Linux Users' Group Subject: [Wlug] REMINDER: Meeting Wed 18-sept-2002 7:00 PM HI Everybody, My apologies for not sending this out sooner, but our meeting for Wednesday evening is going to take place at 7:00 PM in Kinnicutt Hall on the WPI campus like usual. We won't be having the install fest since I didn't get off my butt and make the arrangements (sorry!). I hope to do that tomorrow for a potential install fest in 1-2 weeks. I'll say more about that on Wed evening (that'll put the pressure on me to get this done!). I'll bring my laptop and hope that the projector is available (Chuck, can you assist?). I had thought of doing a demo of the VideoLan client/server. Doug, would you like to volunteer to bring your laptop? We'll need a hub and some cables to build a network. I'll be sure to have the necesary tarballs to make this work, or you can download them yourself if you wish. I'll bring a DVD or two and we can try it out. I had thought of doing this "live" like we did one other time. In case Doug can't make the meeting, having another laptop or two present might be interesting. Although the VideoLan client is interesting, I think the ability to stream the video over the net is pretty neat. Take a look at this website for some background info. http://www.videolan.org/ See ya later, Andy -- 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

Sept 18 meeting (tomorrow!)

by doug waud

Hi all, Andy especially :-) Where do we stand re tomorrow's meeting. There was talk of an installfest but I have not noticed any further messages in that regard. Anybody know what's up? I don't want to go into plug-pulling training if there'll be no "event" where I can display my talents! :-) doug

new question

by Wesley Allen

Hi all, I just recompiled my kernel to add in acpi support for my laptop. When acpid tries to start, it tells me that it can't find /proc/acpi/event I know I've got it installed, how do I set up those files? I know better then to go mucking around in /proc w/o help! BTW, if there is anyone willing to help me convert my iPAQ to linux, I'll get the files together and be happy to meet you someone. LaLa Java on Route 9 in Shrewsbury is a great place for stuff like this (and they have some great tee-shirts). If anyone can help me with both these things, I'd greatly appreciate it. Wes --

Thanks for the info, Brad. It'd be WAY over my head, I'm no developer, just a hack who hates MS. wes On Thu, 2002-09-12 at 21:40, brad wrote: > While we're on the topic, some of you guys might be interested in knowing that > there is a Linux for Ipaq Developers meeting in cambridge in early October. > It's not often that these things come around. > > For more info. > http://handhelds.org/events/devweekend.html > > -brad > > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug > --

There are a couple of calendar programs, - theKompany's (never seen/used it) - OPIE's and Qtopia's (believe they are pretty simaler) - korganizer (it was ported to QTe, it has the same code base as korganizer for KDE So they both look very similar, one is just smaller than the other). Yeah, the ogg player would be nice. One of OPIE's goals is to be binary compatable with Qtopia, as well as the sharp zaurus.

Their ogg player for one, and a couple of other things that Shawn Gordon says SHOULD run on an iPAQ. I want tKc to stay in business, so I don't mind paying some money, for stuff like that.
