[SLUG] GNOME 2.2 RC1: 1.21 Jigawatts is out!
Hey everyone, If you're an avid GNOME user, you might want to try out our latest release candidate. We're only a couple of weeks away from our final 2.2 release, so we're very keen to get more people testing! :-) http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.1/2.1.90/sources/README Plus, there's a list of cool new features on the 2.1 start page: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.1/ Thanks, - Jeff -- It's not just a song!

[SLUG] remove all control characters from a file
Hi all, Is there a way to remove all control characters from a file? eg: I have a file that has characters: ^M, ^@, ^L, etc which need to be removed, but the file also contains: á and alike that need to stay. How could I accomplish this?

[SLUG] transparency scanner (slides and negatives)
Faced with a task (450+ slides to scan) and finding no-one who'll do it for less than $1.50 a slide I've decided to obtain a slide scanner (that also handles 35mm negative). I've found the list of sane supported scanners here: http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-backends.html and more USB here: http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html Searching the archives I can't find much discussion on transparency scanners. Do any SLUGers have one? Any feedback or recommendations appreciated - thanks in advance. Oh, and if you've got one you want to sell me second hand I'm also interested! -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Re: [SLUG] Data acqusition (infrared) and linux
Hi, Many motherboards have IR pins built in, all you need is something to plug into them, I bought an ActiSys IR210 one from www.widget.com.au (now $87), but you have to check whether your motherboard's IR chip is supported by linux. Easier is an IR dongle which plugs into your serial port, I think ActiSys IR220+ ($99) has its own kernel module in the source. cheers, Woody On Mon, Jan 13, 2003 at 12:03:35PM +1100, Jobst Schmalenbach wrote: All, I need a card which can do infrared and is ok for Linux (meaning you can get hold of the port numbers etc).

[SLUG] Domino under Linux
G'day all, Does anyone know if Lotus Domino, running under Linux, can connect to other databases? (Specifically, relational databases.) I know it can connect via ODBC under Windows, unsure about Linux. BTW, does ODBC only refer to a Windows paradigm? Thanks Mike --- Michael S. E.

Well the theory is that ODBC is ODBC, so it shouldn't matter what your coming from and going to. The reality I suspect falls a little short of the ideal. But, suck it and see -- there are odbc client and server bits available under linux. Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Re: [SLUG] Domino under Linux
Hi, Thanks for your help. Could you elucidate a little bit more about ODBC connectivity under Linux. We are running Domino under Linux, and I'd like to be able to connect it to a RDBMS (for eg mySQL). Thanks. Mike --- Michael S. E.

Re: [SLUG] Domino under Linux
Jeff, I really appreciate your knowlege, however it's not giving me any information I need to know. I don't think I've made my question clear. My frustration is that all documentation (that I have seen) on how to set up ODBC for Domino is for Lotus Domino under Windows, and I was wondering if anyone has done this under Linux? Thanks heaps.
