[SLUG] Gallery2 themes setup; was: photo gallery recommendations sought
I'm looking at using Gallery2 within a clubs' custom CMS; if anyone is familiar with its 'themes setup': how big a job is it to incorporate a photogallery page within existing page layout...? (no database hook up, just, look'n'feel setup) (and, how long is a piece of string ?) I'm just trying to figure out whether I can do it with a text editor, or, do I need someone with Dreamweaver..?) -- Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

How do I tell my friend that it did build around Marchish with all the latest upgrades, but does not now. Go back to 'then' and it will build. I should let this go but I won't :) I think you're saying that apt-get doesn't cope when you mix managed packages and custom source builds. If you need to a constant base environment to build your packages on then don't update your system. If you want your system to evolve nicely over time then use apt on a consistent package repository and it will. Again it is much cleaner to say 'install RH9, choose DEV environment, add get-text', it works: a repeatable, exact solution for ever. Not really a problem with apt, that's a problem with making changes. How are you adding get-text? However you do it, if you add the wrong version you have the same problem. If you add the right version then if you had run apt against a repository with the right version you'd also be fine. I'm not suggesting that building from a known cd and adding stuff to it to get a standard environment is a bad idea, just that it has nothing to do with whether apt-get is a good tool or paradigm. Again horses for courses: whose building 'that version' of LBE (used by 1000s customers worldwide for POS touch terminals) and needs to continue building THAT version. Then don't change the version. Or create packages that roll nicely with updates. Apt is there so that changes within the packaged environment run smoothly, not so that unpackaged source trees build nicely on it. Seems like criticising a stapler for being a crummy hole punch.

[SLUG] Automount stopped auto mounting
G'day Sluggers, I'm running Ubuntu Breezy, and recently it has stopped automounting my compact flash card. I can mount the card using System Administration Disks from the menu system, but this is a pain. Does anyone know where to look and what to do to fix this problem?

What you're describing isn't an apt-get artefact, it's a distribution/release one. I don't see how it differs from: Install Debian version 3 release 1. Select development task apt-get install get-text If you're managing Debian machines, you either rely on the standard releases, or you do your own. That way you can precisely reproduce a particular configuration from a particular time. Sure apt-get is cute (easy, nice, etc), but ... apt-get will work cutely, easily, nicely etcely from whatever you point it at. If you point it at the unstable distribution it'll change over time. If you point it at a known configuration it'll always install that, every time.

[SLUG] killing all httpd processes, how ?
ocassionally, when trying to reload Apache 1.3 with: 'service httpd stop/start' some Apache processes do not terminate, and, I'm stuck where I can't restart it anymore, nor can I shut it down completely I then need to remember how to track and kill all releated processes, (or I panic and pull out the power cord.) as I am about to reload new config in Apache, and, I'm not sure if I recall correct 'what-if': if Apache fails to fully shutdown, do I: ps ax | grep httpd then kill any identified PIDs ? is there any other way to identify run-away processes ? thanks -- Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] Re: Install probs with Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 on FC4 with SMP kernel
Hi all, In the struggle to get the webcam working on my FC4 I'm wondering about what problems may be created if I were to boot using an earlier, non-smp kernel (as it's likely that the driver install may then work)? The idea I have is to install the drivers using the older kernel, then boot into that kernel when I wish to connect to the relos overseas. Then when I've finished, boot back into the later smp kernel that I use generally. Are there any issues in doing this? Thanks for any information or advice.

Don't quote me on it, but I think apache will crash (as in 'stop') on reload if you have errors in your configuration. You should be able to do a 'configtest' to verify your config before doing a reload (it may be different on different distro's).

Are there any issues in doing this? The only problems you might encounter are one of general annoyance on your part after a few goes of rebooting your machine just to use your webcam :) .. and that while you're running with a non-SMP kernel you'll only be using one of your presumed more-than-one CPUs. Which probably won't really be a problem at all. I actually have a QuickCam Pro 4000 too. I haven't tried very hard to get it working yet.

[SLUG] timing out a process with timeout
Hey, I just asked a question on #slug and found my answer in an apt-cache search mere moments later. Figured it would be handy for others (you lot and anyone who finds this in the archives later)... I wanted to run a process with a strict time limit, so I figured a tool like that would already exist. Something like... timeout (some parameters that mean 'ten minutes') command parameters Lo and behold, a quick apt-cache search reveals a 'timeout' package (from The Coroner's Toolkit, but Dan Farmer and Wietse Venema): Description: Run a command with a time limit. timeout executes a command and imposes an elapsed time limit. When the time limit is reached, timeout sends a predefined signal to the target process. Apart from having to specify the time limit in seconds, it's very nice. It lets you choose the signal to send to the process, too.
