[SLUG] dvd burner
To the many respondents thanks. Actually I was trying to use cdrecord, which I've now sorted. However the different gui solutions will be good. (Ken "right click burn" rocks) I'll even look at burning a dvd using the suggestions given.

RE: [SLUG] A beginner's server???
Hi John, I am a beginner too but had very little problem getting Apache up and running under Debian. Using bigpond cable I do not have a fixed IP but easily got around this by going to www.noip.com , you can register your own sub-domain name from those they provide and download their "IP update Client" keeps a redirection to your system's IP address, up to date.

[SLUG] Installing X on Debian stable.
Okay. I used the first CD of Debian woody to install a basic system,
then ftp/http sources for Debian stable for everything else.
Problem is getting X installed and going. Started reading and it seems X
on Debian stable is now something entirely different.
Two questions
1) what d I need to install to get X + gnome going?
Or
2) Or how do you fix /dev/input/mice not working?
(which is just one of the possible causes).

Re: [SLUG] A beginner's server???
Hi John, > Is there such a thing as a simple server setup to handle a simple static > website that a beginner can install and run from home?? The most simple setup I've seen is the Red Hat stuff, from their add/remove programs you can select to install a web server, which is actually just all the apps required, but as others indicated if you install Apache, it should just work (make sure the apache daemon is running :) and then you can modify the index.html page which will be wherever your particular installer put it. If you still have trouble, repost with your Linux distro details. Otherwise, I'd recommend a few other approaches, because even with an easy installer learning how to make websites quickly isn't easy with a lot of these tools, even if they are easy to install. I'd recommend looking at a Content Managemenst System (CMS), like Mambo (mamboserver.org) which will give you a web interface to modifying your website, without having to learn how to tweak a bunch of applications individually. If you want something up very quickly, speak to Geoffrey Robertson who hosts all the tools for you at something like $100 a year, so you have a website, with all the tools and administration done for you, and you simply modify it through an easy to use web interface. Contact him on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes I'm plugging Geoffrey :) He hosts a website for a non-profit I'm involved in (not Linux Australia ;P ) and it was so easy to organise through him, it is a pretty useful service.

[SLUG] usb keyboard
It appears that my motherboards keyboard plug has been blown by a voltage spike. I have tried a working keyboard and it does not work on this computer however the USB mouse works perfectly. I was wondering whether there were any tricks to USB keyboards as I think I can just plug on in and get my main computer back online.

[SLUG] How do I get nullmailer to start sending from its queue?
Hi all I have just got mutt & nullmailer working together so that my domain name, from address etc works but the nullmailer does not send the messages in its queue until I run nullmailer-send. man nullmailer says... " When the program starts, the queue is scanned to build a list of messages to send. The queue is rescanned when either the trigger is pulled, or after pausetime seconds have elapsed after the last failed delivery. When there are no messages in the queue, nullmailer does no rescanning until the trigger is pulled. Pulling the trigger consists of opening up the trigger named pipe and writing a single byte to it, which causes this program to be awakened (if it's not already processing the queue). This procedure is done by nullmailer-queue to ensure that messages are delivered immediately. " " pausetime The number of seconds to pause between successive queue runs when there are messages in the queue (defaults to 60). If this is set to 0, nullmailer-send will exit immediately after going through the queue once (one-shot mode)." When I send with mutt the email appears in the queue /var/spool/nullmailer/queue and sits there unless I run as root nullmailer-send. e.g. casteret:/var/spool/nullmailer# nullmailer-send Rescanning queue. Starting delivery, 2 message(s) in queue. Starting delivery: protocol: smtp host: mail.myisp.net.au file: 1120910264.32083 smtp: Succeeded: 250 2.0.0 j69C6ZGZ032101 Message accepted for delivery Sent file. It seems that I have nullmailer-send running as daemon: casteret:/etc/init.d# ps ax | grep null 7855 pts/2 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/nullmailer-send -d 7856 pts/2 S 0:00 /usr/lib/nullmailer/smtp -d -s mail.myisp.net.au But I can wait and wait and it never sends. I would like it to send as soon as a message gets into the queue when Im online.

KDE has a "Public File Server" Kicker (panel) applet. It is very rudimentary,
but it's by far the easiest to use Web server I've seen. Depending on your
distribution, you may need to install it as a separate package.
