[SLUG] ETSI
If you don't know what ETSI and HI2 are, stop. If you do, have you ever seen anything for catching the handshake packets emitted by HI2 and decoding them? What was it written in?

[SLUG] Re: opening a photo in GIMP
Hi Chris, Off the top of my head, I cannot think of a specific reason, but if you want to upload a copy someone for me to download, or e-mail me a copy, I'd be happy to see if the problem is with the image or your GIMP set up. Regards, Patrick [SLUG] opening a photo in GIMP Chris Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun, 07 Sep 2008 11:12:10 +1000 I have copied a set of photos from my digital camera for re-processing in GIMP. GIMP says it can't open them. Plug-in could not open image They are all JPG files 0372 x 2305 pixels (2.93 MB) Can any one advise how to resolve this problem (or a better forum)? PS I have no trouble viewing them on screen. However I need to reduce their size for us in ID cards and and posting to the web. -- Registered GNU/Linux User 368634 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] opening a photo in GIMP
Chris, That message seems a little bizarre. Gimp will open ordinarily open JPEG files natively, and thus shouldn't use a plugin to do this. You may have somehow messed up some configuration settings - and it is using an inappropriate import plugin. Assuming that you don't have any setting or personal Gimp scripts that you want to keep, you can remove your personal settings for gimp with the command rm -rf ~/.gimp*. (Or simply renaming the .gimp-* directory to say .gimp-old) They when you launch gimp again it should create fresh and default settings. If that doesn't work, you may want to use your software package managerf to remove and reinstall gimp (and possible clean your personal settings again). BTW do you get the same issue when say opening PNG files?

[SLUG] ATO/wine
Sorry if this has been previously covered. I couldn't find it with a quick search. Has anyone had success installing the ATO's Online Services Setup? I'm running Crossover. It's the first software I've attempted to install with Crossover and the resulting log seems to have lots of warnings. Nothing seems to be installed, or if it is I'm looking in the wrong place :( thanks...

There is another option, but it may cost you. I had a bit of whinge to the ATO just yesterday about the application running only on Windows. The clerk was sympathetic and mentioned this site: http://www.etax.com.au/ which apparently allows to submit your tax return online using the web. A tax agent then submits it to the ATO on your behalf. I still like the paper system. Takes me under an hour to fill in. If the ATO receives a paper return before mid July, they process it within a week or so. Anytime after that (I am told by the ATO) and they begin bogging down with a work overload. cheers rickw -- Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services || Internet Driving Instructor For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong. -- H.L.

I was curious what on-line services are available.. my tax agent has 'net/ATO access to things about me that even I didn't know! Naturally I'm p-ed off that the ATO spends our money supporting Bill.
