I've written down how I "beautified" my Slackware desktop on
http://www.homepages.lu/pu/beautiful.html.
I'd appreciate comments, suggestions or any other kind of constructive
feedback.
Two days ago, I started having problems with my wife's PC not recording sound
in Skype. Basically on wednesday it worked perfectly well, then the
following day it didn't. Neither of us have made any changes/updates to the
system.
We are running Fedora Core 3 on that machine with kernel 2.6.11.
Does anyone know how I could go about debugging this? Please note that I am
not in Luxembourg, so I don't have direct access to the system.

Well, this background has the approved-by-my-girlfriend tag ;-)
Unfortunately I don't have any "before" screenshots. But I guess you
could take just about any Linux distro default installation.

Hi all,
My PC (an old Athlon 500Mhz) is getting really old and i'm looking to get
a brand new AMD64 (yes i'm an AMD guy ...).
So i'd just like to know if some of you out there have experiences,
issues, with such machines, heard that the driver support is not very good
yet. As well as were here in Lxuembourg I can get such a machine for a
good price. Thanks in advance.
Oh, yes one last thing I will probably install a Gentoo or Ubuntu system,
so any more specific issues with these are welcome, too ;)
ciao,
pst

Hi all,
I can offer a few AlphaServer machines for whomever'll take them:
1x AlphaServer 1000A
2x AlphaServer 2100A
Those machines come with single Alpha CPUs, somewhere between
233 and 300MHz, and an unknown amount of RAM (nowhere near
maximum capacity - which would be 1 resp 2 GB - for sure).
The 1000A comes without internal disk drive, the 2100As have an
internal disk of 2GB. All b0xen have one or more network
interfaces and SCSI.
Additional diskspace can be had in the form of one or more
disk bays, each being able to hold 6-7 drives, with most
drives being 1 or 2 GB (a very few have 4GB), to be connected
via SCSI.
One such AS2100A was presented during LinuxDays2005, for those
who've seen it.
These machines are *servers*, i.e. noisy, large (19"), will
use lots of electricity and replace your heater, but they are
also very fun to play with (ex. the SRM is to a PC BIOS what a
Ferrari is to a Trabbi, one of the very first 64bit architectures,
etc.).
Of course, you may run Linux or some BSD on these machines, the
AS2100As were even installed with Debian GNU/Linux already.
So, this is definitely not for those who want/need extreme high-end
CPU power (these machines are too old for that - they were high-end
back in their time), but more for collectors and tinkerers.
So if someone's seriously interested, let me know. FCFS applies.
Greets Eric
P.S. Preferrably those who'll get them should pick them up by
car @Kirchberg, hauling them alone is somewhere between "not much
fun" and "impossible" ;-)
Like yours is a usefull comment to the discussion ?
Top quoting is perfectly acceptable to most decent human beings.
BTW I won't engage in flame wars about your quoting religion.
You've been wasting our time (mine at least) enough.
Welcome to my ingnore list.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to get some tests done here, but am butting my head
(granted, not at 100% power due to a cold) at the following:
I've got a Cisco L3 switch (C3550) that's supposed to handle several
links, among which a VLAN trunk.
Now I'd like to test the bloody setup to make sure I've got everything
right, but nicely, it's not even possible for the switch to ping it's
own IP addresses unless the connectivity of that port is up (i.e.,
there must be a machine at the other end responding properly).
For the 3 "classic" links, no problem, Laptop plus Knoppix did all
I needed - not so for the VLAN trunk.
Since Knoppix (3.8.1) doesn't seem to have VLAN support, I just
tried to use my own laptop (running Debian Sarge, kernel 2.6.11.7).
Copying the commands from another box handling a trunk (RedHat),
I tried to first set the MTU of the interface:
ifconfig eth0 mtu 1504 (the 4 bytes added for the VLAN ID)
That already got me an error message, apparently no values larger
than 1500 are accepted.
Now I decided to drop this, as I only need to get ping running,
which will not need the correct MTU size to work.
Next was the addition of VLANs to the interface:
modprobe 8021q
vconfig set_name_type DEV_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD
so far so good
vconfig add eth0 40
ERROR: trying to add VLAN #40 to IF -:eth0:- error: Invalid argument
This has me stumped - the exact same stuff works as advertised
on that RedHat box, I've got the exact same line in my doc (ex.
Linux Magazin network edition 3/2004 p. 13).
Same happens btw. if I specify /dev/eth0 instead of eth0.
Any ideas what's wrong here?
Greets & TIA, Eric
Salut à tous,
Je "squatte" un peu cette mailing liste pour vous signaler la
constitution d'une nouvelle association LUXCOMMONS asbl.
Cette association travaille à l'adaptation au droit luxembourgeois des
licences Creative Commons <http://creativecommons.org>. Nous participons
à la promotion de ce type de licences au Grand Duché du Luxembourg.
Bien sûr, ça n'a rien à voir avec Linux en tant que tel, mais ce genre
de licences sont directement inspirées des licences du logiciel libre et
peuvent intérésser un certain nombre d'entre vous.
Avis aux amateurs !

Hi
How do I configure Squirrel mail to move auomatically messages with the
word {spam} in the title in a separate folder called spam?
Sendar does the Spam scanning correctly and I don't want to see these
messages at all.
Thanks
Al
Hi,
just for curiosity, after reading this post
http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=6602#1
Are there any (public or secret) rollouts of OSS on the desktop in
Luxembourg...?
I myself know of 2 big companies/institutions with about 1000 employees
which are using Thunderbird, one of them will go with Firefox probably
also. One of them however has customized the user-agent so that
Thunderbird is (at least at first sight) not recognizable...
Regards,
Yves
