Re: [SLUG] Re: opening a photo in GIMP
Patrick/Chris, So any idea of what the root issue was? Every camera produced JPEG these days has an EXIF header. It would seem that the camera is in need of a firmware upgrade if it is writing bodgy EXIF (or less likely that GIMP has encountered an EXIF field not properly handled) Martin On Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 12:59 PM, elliott-brennan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've already written directly to Chris, who sent me a copy of one of the photos he's having problems with. Thought other people might like to know of one solution. Strip out the EXIF (1) data in the photo and all is well. Imagemagick will do this for you: mogrify -strip name of file Or for every photo in the directory, use: mogrify -strip *.jpg (or whatever the extension is).

[SLUG] Too many ethx ports
Hi Guy's, How can I get rid of eth1,eth2,and just keep eth0. with no references to the other ports? The system is very confused and will not send/receive email with all the network ports. The reason for the number of ports is because I tried a wireless network when the on board 1GB network failed that was eth0, then the wireless becane eth1 the next trail wan a 1GB Intel network card that became eth2. Now I want to get rid of eth0,eth1,eth2 then have eth0 only. The question is HOW?

[SLUG] Microsoft and Email Protocols
Just thought that folks would like to know that M$, having embraced the various email protocols (RFC2821, RFC2822, etc), is now in the process of extending them. I periodically send a bulk email, but individually addressed to each recipient, to about 40 of my most intimate friends advising them of upcoming events at my local LUG. One of the recipients has a hotmail address. This morning's short missive advised about SFD08. The mail addressed to the hotmail account was, for the first time, bounced by M$ Live Mail, with a typically unhelpful message explaining that it was for policy reasons that might be related to spam or might be related to a sender's FQDN/dotted-quad mismatch. Since neither the Subject nor the body of the email contained any spam words (unless M$ regards Software Freedom Day as a spam expression), the email contained every necessary and sufficient header, and all headers are RFC compliant, I came to the conclusion that the mail suffered from a sender's details' mismatch. Now, my FQDN does not match the dotted-quad address, and does not resolve via lookup, because my IP address is dynamic and my ISP (who is a friend) had never bothered to add my FQDN details his IP range. He is now adding them in -- isn't it nice to have friends. :-) It appears that my email ran afoul of M$'s Sender ID Framework (which of course is acronymed to SIDF). Gee, until now I thought that only Dan Bernstein deliberately stuffed up email protocols. But now M$, which hitherto seemed only to stuff up protocols by accident out of ignorance, has joined him. -- Robert Thorsby In /dev/null no one can hear the kernel panic! -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] Kubuntu Hardy DVDRW not seen
Have Kubuntu Hardy installed and running fine for ages. Replaced DVDRW with new unit, now it is not seen by system/k3b etc. Boots fine from a linux livecd/dvd. I assume that this is because of the fantastic UUID system. How do I 'Fix it? Is it simply a matter of something like changing a symlink somewhere?

Re: [SLUG] Microsoft and Email Protocols
Did you CC or BCC all your friends? If you CC a lot of people, that can be taken as an indicator of spam. As for standards, well email-wise we're living in a swamp, and the recommended practice in many instances is to ignore the standard (e.g. not bouncing mis-addressed mail) or exploring the more interpretable edges of the standard (e.g. greylisting) The cure is to charge for sending email, but for most that cure is worse than the disease. Lastly, get your friends to dump hotmail and get gmail. They won't regret it.

No. Each email was sent individually, properly addressed to that person only. There was no Cc'ing or Bcc'ing. The sender application was a bash script that I knocked together.

But muddying the waters just makes them more dangerous and unnavigable. The cure is to charge for sending email, but for most that cure is worse than the disease. No, no, no! You may as well say, Let it be under the control and administration of a government department. The only real cure is for those who administer MX servers to do so properly, which includes preventing spam from originating out of boxen under their administration. However, whilever the largest ISPs benefit from the sending of spam that will not occur. Lastly, get your friends to dump hotmail and get gmail. They won't regret it. I stopped attempting even to stop my friends from sending HTML mail because of the disastrous results (lost friends!) -- although I do bounce emails that contain M$ binary attachments with a polite note saying that my filter has blocked the mail because of the possibility that it contains a virus. I do not intend to tell my friends to switch MX provider.

RE: [SLUG] Too many ethx ports
Apologies for top posting - this web based client does not accommodate proper indenting. Gerald, I am pretty sure you are using PCLOS or Mandriva with KDE. You should be able to go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and remove the files of the form ifcfg-ethX. When done, use MCC - Network Internet to set up your network again using (now) the only available network card eth0.
