Trolltech's Qtopia Desktop release is compatible with Trolltech's Qtopia releases. Sharp's Qtopia is not compatible with Trolltech's Qtopia Desktop. Specifically, the PIM applications have some bugs and Sharp ROMs = 3.0 use a different method of synchronisation and data storage. If you have a SL-5500 or older you can run a 2.x ROM that is mostly compatible with Qtopia Desktop. If you have a newer Zaurus you will need to use Sharp's Qtopia Desktop release. Note: Sharp does not support Linux or MacOS. But I *really* want to use my Zaurus with Linux/MacOS. Isn't there anything I can do? You can install Opie and/or OpenZaurus.

One of the major goals is to connect two building at the school with a wireless point to point link over 600m apart. So, if anyone wants to do a talk or help with the workshops it would be appreciated.

Er hi, yes I know there was a thread on this a little while ago - but I admit I wasn't paying attention to it at that point, and I'm also not sure if it was precisely what I need for myself, so I thought I'd repost - and hope nobody minds too much... Basically my issue is this: - I am a part of a gaidhlig mailing list, and there are special characters in said list (mainly vowels with accents) which come through to me thusly: A Shi\371saidh, 's truagh nach fhaca mi thusa aig a' chuirm-chi\371il le Cl\354ar! Tha mi dol leatsa, bha iad d\354reach sgoinneil! Bha mi aig SMO airson Cursaichean G\362irid a-rithist, agus bha e fior fheumail agus c\362mhnachail, mar is abhaist. Is miann leam an-sin fhuirich. (Chan eil mi cinnteach mu an rosgrann seo) (hopefully that'll display literally instead of as the characters that I want to see... if not - they appear to me as \ followed by a 3-digit number (eg 354 or 362)) Now, I read my email from my home machine (while at work) through an ssh connection... so there are multiple layers of program, any of which may be at fault at the moment. gnome-terminal 2.2.1 is the terminal I'm using at work. Now, I once had a bit of help from someone who suggested changing character encodings and stuff - but I remember that the only success in that seemd to be to change the 3-digit numbers into question marks... so not much help :( He then suggested looking at my fonts - but I'm not entirely sure how to do that (I'm still a newbie). At work we use redhat, at home I have debian - and I don't know if it's mutt or the terminal so don't know which to look up... so was kinda hoping that the wiser souls on this list might have some insight/advice to help steer me in the right direction...

[SLUG] Problems mounting Windows2000 shares (cifs/smbfs)
Afternoon all! I am hoping someone on this enlightened list can help me as I've run out of ideas to try. After a recent domain upgrade from an NT to Windows 2003 domain at my work I can no longer mount shares on a Windows 2000 server. After extensive testing and trialling of the cifs modules and smbfs I have discovered that I can mount shares from another server (windows 2003) using smbfs and cifs. It is also part of the domain. The server was rebooted over the weekend and it seems that something was waiting for a reboot to become active/change. Trying to mount with smbfs as I previously had results in the error: # mount //srv2/Users cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it. 4804: protocol negotiation failed SMB connection failed So googling told me that I must use CIFS. When I use cifs, the Kernel log says that CIFS Session Established successfully however I then get a: Status code returned 0xc022 NT_STATUS_ACCESS _DENIED Anyone have any ideas how I can mount the shares again?

Re: [SLUG] Regex question
Must match 3 out of 4 rules
Must much at least 3 out of 4 rules I would
imagine, the more oblique the password the
better.
1) Contain 1 or more Uppercase char
2) Contain 1 or more Lowercase char
3) Contain 1 or more numeric
4) Contain 1 or more punctuation
looking for 1 regex statement and perlre is the
standard I think,
looking for 1 regex in this case is a bad thing to do.
the simple and smart thing to do is to match all
the four cases returning 1 or 0 for each
one and then say
# check supplied password matches at least 3
# of the criteria
if ($matchUpper + $matchLower + $matchNumeric +
$matchPunct = 3) {
# new password OK
} else {
# new password bad, don't accept
}
Doing stuff in one confusing regex might look smart
but keeping things simple and transparent is
considerably smarter and more valuable.

Re: [SLUG] Problems mounting Windows2000 shares (cifs/smbfs)
On Wed, 4 Aug 2004, Simon Wong wrote: Afternoon all! I am hoping someone on this enlightened list can help me as I've run out of ideas to try. After a recent domain upgrade from an NT to Windows 2003 domain at my work I can no longer mount shares on a Windows 2000 server. After extensive testing and trialling of the cifs modules and smbfs I have discovered that I can mount shares from another server (windows 2003) using smbfs and cifs. It is also part of the domain. The server was rebooted over the weekend and it seems that something was waiting for a reboot to become active/change. Trying to mount with smbfs as I previously had results in the error: # mount //srv2/Users cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it. 4804: protocol negotiation failed SMB connection failed Either upgrade your Samba to support signing (as the latest Samba does by default) or modify your 2003 server to disable signing (see the MS knowledgebase of getting NT 4 for talk to 2K3 domain controllers - the same applies). So googling told me that I must use CIFS. That's a seperate thing from connection signing. You have a signing problem.

Well, if remote sound and software mixing is not important to you, you can turn it off. But it's not going to happen upstream, until we have another cross-platform solution. esound is simple, and it works, which is why no one has managed to replace it yet. Don't listen to the ill-informed anti-esound people; they generally don't understand the use cases. Tho I imagine the choice could be removed in order to make things be simpler in Gnome philosophy. No, that doesn't make a lot of sense, nor reflects a GNOME philosophy. - Jeff -- What's all that about? http://www.no-name-yet.com/ Instead you're doing circle jerks with the Care Bears of Censorship. - Siduri on Slashdot -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

My question comes down to: are the freedesktop guys working on some kind of shared sound architecture? I'd heard rumblings this was the case. Tho I imagine the choice could be removed in order to make things be simpler in Gnome philosophy. No, that doesn't make a lot of sense, nor reflects a GNOME philosophy. Gnome is about not overwhelming users with choice. Choice implicitly overwhelmes people, and if they wanted to be overwhelmed, they'd use KDE. According to most of the Gnome blogs / manifestos post 2.6 anyway. Hence changing the default behavior of applications without asking / telling users and providing no method to change it back without hacking. There's nothing wrong with this belief, though I don't share it. It's just that people should understand this, so they don't ask things of Gnome which are outside this spec.

Re: [SLUG] The Sound of Silence
quote who=Mike MacCana Well, if remote sound and software mixing is not important to you, Or, more likely, if you prefer another solution... If you prefer another solution, you'd have to replace GNOME's use of esound with something else that achieves the same ends. That's not a simple change, and because there's very little out there that's as simple as esound, no one has done it. My question comes down to: are the freedesktop guys working on some kind of shared sound architecture? I'd heard rumblings this was the case. MAS, which has basically gone no where for the last few years, is listed on freedesktop.org, but that doesn't mean it's a standard or intended to become one. freedesktop.org standardises common usage more than anything else.

But you're also miscommunicating / misunderstanding it. It's not about removing choice, it's about making things Just Work. Removing esound configuration at this time would not make sense. It'll be great when sound does Just Work, but that's not the case right now. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2005: Canberra, Australiahttp://linux.conf.au/ Are you XFire's crazy girlfriend?

the simple and smart thing to do is to match all

# check supplied password matches at least 3

if ($matchUpper + $matchLower + $matchNumeric +

Doing stuff in one confusing regex might look smart
but keeping things simple and transparent is
considerably smarter and more valuable.
True but this is to be placed into a 4rd party program with no access to
code! so has to be a regex
