Re: Thunderbird/icedove behaviour on message delete
Thats the way I would normally do it, and the way I do it on Claws mail which I use. BUT when setting up the mail filters I stumbled across a menu that allowed either delete or hide as the options with age. The problem is I can't find it to alter the age at which to hide again. Maybe a hidden function, no pun intended. I know for 'strike when deleted' and delete attachment after # days' from Horde (http://www.horde.org/images/screenshots/webmail/imp_1_1.png), if you have horde maybe you can mix somehow with your client or use only Horde. I can't recall this options in Tbird but maybe they are dip hidden in some previous versions. Now I have 3.1.1 and cant find it anywhere. -- Bye, Goran Dobosevic Hrvatski: www.dobosevic.com English: www.dobosevic.com/en/ Registered Linux User #503414 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Mp3 Encoding (and Virtual Machine Software for Wheezy?)
Hi, VirtualBox on Wheezy has been a really, really ugly experience. Here's a quick recap - 1. Follow the directions to add the Squeeze version from virtualbox.org (contrib, VirtualBox 4). 2. Attempt to install Guest Additions, synaptic says it has to uninstall VirtualBox (huh?) Guest Additions are for guest OS, you don't have to install them in host OS. Inside guest OS mount fake CD/iso copy-paste .sh, .exe...to home directory and install. - I was installing the Guest Additions 4 from the VirtualBox source. 3. Uninstalled VirtualBox 4 from the contrib source, moved on to the non-free version (source is still virtualbox.org), which is actually VirtualBox 3. 4. Attempt to install the Guest Additions, and again, Synaptic says it has to uninstall VirtualBox (Huh?!) 5. Virtual machines now won't start (issues with dkms). I have dkms and VirtualBox on Squeeze and Wheezy hosts and they work. Maybe some wrong steps? What a trip. 1. On host install VirtualBox and dkms 2. In VirtualBox install guest OS 3. Mount Guest Additions CD in guest OS 4. Copy to home dir. Guest Additions app (don't remember exactly name) from mounted CD 5. Install it.

Default is Gnome but you can easily download and install Debian .iso with KDE, XFCE, LXDE or install any other you like. * I am pretty sure any OS is fine for PHP and AS3 development, so that's not a problem, but what about support for Debugger flash players (standalone and in-browser) for Debian, no major problems? I don't know anything about flash debuggers but in Iceweasel (Firefox on Debian) you can install FlashFirebug. More about Debian packages you can find here http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages * Will it be feasible to run some kind of Virtual Box on it to play windows games (logical games mostly) You can install Virtual Box without a problem. I don't know how it goes with 3D acceleration and gaming in Virtual Box. * I have an external HD formatted as NTFS, will there be no problems with accessing its data? I have few external HD NTFS and never had any problems. * When, once, I wanted to install Ubuntu on my drive I had to format partition into some never-ever-heard-before file system architecture, would I have to format my stuff too? Yes. Before installing Debian move all your data on ext. HDD or somewhere else. Do not worry, you will be used to that strange file system :-) * Since my netbook doesn't have a CD Rom and I don't have access to an external one, I'd like to keep winXP on my system in case I want to go back, any possibilities of doing so? * Is there some guide on installing Debian from USB drive? You can, it's called 'dual boot'. If you don't have previously experience with any Linux, back up all your HDD, make extra partition where will be Debian and when Debian installer ask you where to install OS point to that partition.

Re: curator replacement
On 12/27/2010 08:09 PM, Stan Hoeppner wrote: What's a good replacement for the curator photo album generating package? It was dropped from Debian at least a couple of years ago. I'd like something that doesn't suck performance wise due to python code that can't be optimized by psyco. Something that uses multiple processes or threads would be fantastic as I'll be running it on a dual CPU box, one that is rather old, 500 MHz CPUs. Curator is a serial single threaded process and thus only uses on CPU (or core). Basically I want the features of curator, but in something that runs much faster. Generating the individual image pages takes _forever_ on dirs with thousands of jpg files. I'm guessing if someone with the necessary python skill rewrote curator's function layout in a manner that psyco could optimize, that it would be plenty fast on the aforementioned machine. Currently it takes on the order of .5 seconds to generate each ~2K html page. A 500 MHz CPU should be able to generate at least 10 times as many html pages per second if the curator python code performance didn't suck. I'd like something similar that generates static image pages with the nice index pages curator does. A db driven system won't work for creating CDs full of images to distribute. Hi, I'm not using any photo album so I don’t know how this 2 works but they generate html/css/js without db. It seems that they are very customizable and that have lot of options.

I'm planning to surprise my unsuspecting self with the above hard drive for Christmas, but have read some alarming reports about incompatibilities with GNU/Linux partitioning.

Re: Frustration made me do it.
Linux Desktop Enviroments need to stop trying to compete to impress microsoft users and N00b's and stick to what Linux is all about, clean, efficient, FAST! If people really feel they NEED desktop widgets either make it add on software or make a third party desktop environment based off the main environment. The way it is now KDE and Gnome, the two biggest are competing for 'most bloat award' and the sleek fast environments like lxde are basing their systems off the giants so all the real customization of the past is just plain gone...

Re: help getting grub to see Windows 7 on second drive
I tried installing the Windows on the new disk but it wouldn't install with the first drive present. It said it couldn't create or locate an existing partition or something. The cure here according to Windows folks seemed to be to disconnect the other drive (with the Linux on it) from the motherboard and then reboot and install the Windows. I had similar situation (Windows7+Debian, 2 hdd). I was disconnected Debian hdd, install Windows 7 without messing with grub. When I power box pressing F8 (boot menu) and chose should I boot Debian hdd or Windows7 hdd. In this way I don't have to mess with grub if I remove Windows7. -- Bye, Goran Dobosevic Hrvatski: www.dobosevic.com English: www.dobosevic.com/en/ Registered Linux User #503414 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I have a lot of video tapes lying around and I am afraid they will degrade over time. Also, since they are not making tapes any more (or VCRs?)

When I mentioned this to a friend, he pulled out a WinTV card, using a Hauppauge PVR-250. Are there drivers for this in the standard kernel tree, or do I need to get them from somewhere? Also, what is the best capture and editing software for a newbie with minimal needs. No flame wars, please. I know that Cinelerra is available, but I don't know what else there is, or how easy they are to use. For now all I really need to do is capture the analog signal from a VCR and save it to a file. Then I want to edit out the commercials, possibly combine multiple files, and then save the resulting file to a dvd iso that can be mounted directly and played back, or written to a dvd.
