Congress to Ashcroft: Go After Song Swappers

High Resolution DVI Support for Plasma Displays?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/08/09/2125220

    spongman asks: "I'm trying to find the best way to connect a computer
    to a 50" (or larger) plasma display. The display I'm currently looking
    at is the [0]NEC 50MP2 because its native resolution (1366x768) is high
    enough to meet my needs and it can display a 16:9 image with square
    pixels without scaling, but I'm open to suggestions for
    similarly-capable displays. I also want to use a DVI connection between
    the computer and the display to reduce interference and noise. The
    problem I'm having is that I can't work out which video cards support
    this resolution (or something near it) over a DVI connection. The only
    card I've found that seems to support this is the [1]PixelPerfect from
    Imagine Graphics in the UK, but it's based on somewhat old technology
    (Kyro2) and I'd like a few more choices if possible. Does anyone have
    experience getting their video card connected to a plasma display over
    DVI at native resolution?"

    frontend for controlling XMMS and Noatun. It provides keyboard
    shortcuts, an on-screen display, and comes with many different themes. 




Slashcode
Theme addition 'include_theme'
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/09/0650236

    In CVS there is a new addition to the THEME file syntax. You can now
    choose to add an included theme. This allows you too easily create a
    theme with just your changed templates (yet still pick up fixes to the
    templates you don't customize). If you base your site off of the
    "slashcode" theme just add to your theme file: include_theme=slashcode
    If this is for a site that already exists make sure you add this
    information to the site_info table. 

Invalid command 'PerlHandler'
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/07/2319210

    Hi all, I come already the two days trying to install the Slash in two
    machines with Mandrake.. I followed all the steps of the installation
    manual, however I have received, when initiating the apache with the
    INCLUDE of slash.conf this error: ---- Syntax error on line 6 of
    /etc/httpd/conf/slash.conf: Invalid command 'PerlHandler', perhaps
    mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server
    configuration. -- I'm checked lists and installed File-Spec with:
    "install RBS/File-Spec-0.82.tar.gz"... Without this configuration
    Apache works fine! Help me please! 

Image and File Uploads?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/06/0531259

    Is/will there be a plugin to allow slash to be able to upload files and
    images? Something like what Moveabletype has? 

Slashcode login hangs
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/05/199233

    Have the lastest Slash codebase running. However, when a user attempts
    to log in with a correct password, the page just sits there--the IE
    icon twirls mysteriously, as if connection was being made, but no
    return. Conversely, if the enter a valid username, but invalid
    password, the page return is immediate, with a message that either the
    username or password was incorrect. Any assistance...etc. --Hieronymous

Install Slash For Dummies - failing on final step
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/04/0626227

    I was successful with every step of the "Install Slash For Dummies"
    instructions, but then failed on the final step when starting slash:
    [root@dedicated init.d]# ./slash start Starting slashd virtslash: ok
    PID = 28526 [root@dedicated init.d]# This account is currently not
    available. Does anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot? I've looked
    through the docs and can't find anything... 

Slash installation in one step?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/03/0750238

    I think Slash installation is simple and clear, but also, it's manual.
    There must would be an automatic installation procedure. I'm thinking
    in a Perl script based on a response file or similar that installs
    Slash components (Apache, mod_perl, MySQL, Bundle::Slash and Slash
    itself) all in one step. Of course, you have previously to wite the
    responses to interactive questions that will be formulated during
    installation process. This response file may act as your 'Slash based
    settings for your site'. Also, the Perl script may write an
    'installation log' during its execution. 

Could not determine the server's FQDN
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/02/0514248

    This is probably something stupid I did, but I can't figure out what it
    is. After installing Slash without error, I try to start Apache via
    "apachectl start" and I get the following error: "[alert] httpd: Could
    not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1
    for ServerName" I have a DNS server running and the FQDN I used in the
    slash install *does* resolve. All I get if I try to access the site is
    the default Apache test page. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks. 

SlashCode on Apache2+ModPerl 2
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/02/0513259

    I have installed Apache 2.0.39 with ModPerl 1.99_04. Now I want to
    install slashcode on it, but libapreq-1.0 doesn't installs because, I
    think, libapreq need ModPerl 1.3.xx. Someone installed successfully
    SlashCode on apache2? How? Thanks a lot. 

Starting out: Bundle or Current Release?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/01/0511244

    I'm interested in implementing slashcode but although I have a Unix
    background I'm new to the world of Linux and open source development. I
    noticed that Bundle-Slash is listed as version 2.13 (last updated last
    September),whereas slash 2.2.6 is current as of this month. My question
    is this: do I need to download and install the bundle first to provide
    some sort of base, or if I install the individual components (Apache,
    mod_perl, etc.) as directed can skip the bundle and just install 2.2.6?
    Thanks in advance. 

Slash DB ERD Please?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/07/31/0011217

    Does anyone have an updated ERD of the Slash DB (preferably the MySQL
    version, but I'm not picky), from a working site? The one that comes
    with the docs not only makes very little sense visually, but doesn't
    match the tables created by the init scripts (some tables are missing
    from the script, others from the ERD). Any additional documentation on
    the DB structure for Slash would also be greatly appreciated.
