Hi,
subject says it all: do you know of commercial companies (not administrations
or public services) that have successfully migrated to OpenOffice (or possibly
StarOffice)?
Pointers are welcome...
Greetings & TIA, Eric
Hi,
@work, I have to work with (insert as many expletives as you like) Lotus Notes.
Now, I'm wondering how to convert existing .nsf files to something a little bit
more standard, like, say, mbox? This of course including such unimportant things
like attachments.
There's an export function in the Notes client that will generate something
close enough to mbox, but without attachments - thus not usable.
I'd love to be able to get the task done without going through the server,
connecting through IMAP using a decent client etc, and what's more, on a
Linux box...
I've googled a bit, but the result so far has been very disappointing.
Does anyone know any means to get this done?
Greetings & TIA, Eric
Hi,
I was asked about courses giving both a good background (i.e. actual
working know-how) with Linux system administration, and which also
might lead to a certification (buzzword-sensitive employer compliant).
Can anyone recommend something there?
Greetings, Eric
P.S. Yes, there was a presentation on LPI at the LinuxDays, but I
missed it due to "other activities"... btw. the open source beer is
bottled by now - only about 8-10 days left to testing ;-)
There is an interesting article in Frankfurter Allgemein today about the
maturity of Linux. It is a rather simplistic view of Linux, written for
non-techies, and everyone on this list probably knows the story in more
depth than the article goes into. But, the interesting part to me is that
a main stream conservative paper like FAZ has picked up on the story and
painted a very positive picture of Linux and FOSS. See link below:

At the next meeting, I'll do a rerun of my Samba presentation that I
gave at the LinuxDays. The main focus will be the more advanced topics
(primary domain controller, print server setup) that I had to skip at
the Linux Days.

Hi folks,
I set up software-raid1 for /, /usr, /tmp, /home and /var on a box with
2 sata-disks. I use debian sarge with the 2.6.8-2-k7-smp kernel.
Everything works fine as long as I leave the 2 disks in the box, but as
soon as I remove one of them, the arrays don't get started at all, or
get assembled wrongly... (read on)
I've tried with and without a (correct) /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file.
Without, the arrays get assembled, but wrongly, that is, e.g /tmp holds
the content of /usr (all other mountpoints are messed up as well
except /, which is /dev/md0, is always ok.)
(Note that I pass the kernel all the info it should need, like:
vmlinux root=/dev/md0 md=0,/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1 md=1,/dev/sda8,/dev/sdb8
etc)
With the mdadm.conf file, the arrays dont get started at all because the
md driver says one disk is missing... so I find myself without any
of /usr /var /tmp and /home.
Is there a parameter I can put into the mdadm.conf to make it less picky
let it start the md device even if one disk is missing? (I've seen that
by manually using mdadm afterwards with the right commandline options
this is possible, but I need it at boot... automagically)
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Yves
p.s.
How is your experience in using linux software raid in production?
There is unfortunately no driver available for my raid chipset, so I
have to use the md way. (anyway my sata-chipset can only provide
fakeraid, so IMHO the md way is preferred... any opinions on that?)

Hi guys & girls,
problem: HP Laptop with IPW2200 WiFi card and special button to
switch the WiFi on or off, system is Ubuntu 5.10
The card itself is recognized (no suprise there), but the damn
thing is turned off, pressing the button won't turn it on either
(/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rf_kill stays at the same value).
Unfortunately, it's not possible to just echo 0 > .../rf_kill to
turn the thing on (permission denied even for root on that HP,
here on my box - where the button works - it was allowed but had
no effect).
iwconfig power seems to be only for managing the powersave-states,
not to turn the thing on or off.
Googling didn't really help so far, I checked the ipw2100.sf.net,
ipw2200.sf.net and rfswitch.sf.net pages.
Any ideas?
Greetings & TIA, Eric
Hi
Is it possible in Ooo to create a document where you get data from a
database and also data from the next database entry on the same page.
Here, I have up to six little flyers with names, I have the database with
the names, but mail merge always produuces different documents for each
entry. My question is how to create a document with up to six different
database records on the same document?

Thanx

Hi
I would buy a webcam to mount on a telescope. I found different sources
in Google about the Philips PCVC740K on a telescope. This one seems
right good, because lumonisity min.<1 lux.
So, the difficulty is I don't find a dealer for it.
I also found a Philips SPC900NC, but I don't know if this one works
with Linux.
Is there anybody out there who knows if these one is compatible with
Linux or does someone know a Webcam where the lumonisity needed <1 lux.
Thanks
Al

Hi all! I've recently run into an interesting problem. I have a ton of
E-mail stored in maildir format. In a vain attempt at making it
accessable under windows, I tared my directory structure and ftped it to
my windows box. now I have 1.5 Gb of e-mail in mbox format on my windows
box with no access to a Unix machine and I cannot find a windows E-mail
client that can read maildir format or a conversion utility to convert to
mbox (which thunderbird can read). So, does anyone have any ideas of how
to get around this problem?
Mike
