[SLUG] videos in Hardy Heron
I recently upgraded from Dapper Drake to Hardy Heron. Since then I have not been able to see any videos. I always get an error message to say the appropriate plug in for Totem is not installed. I had a similar issue in Dapper Drake but followed advice about installing Easyubuntu which solved the problem. This time the web site advises installing *libdvdread3 and **libdvdnav4 but that has not helped. What have I missed? * -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Using tools like EasyUbuntu is often a mistake; they are usually harder than the instructions above, and some of them[1] have been known to cause problems with upgrades or security patches.

Martin In typical Slashdot fashion the could and considered in the original article become will on Slashdot Yes. Seems like the sort of thing that an American writer would do ;) I've written for three Linux magazines and I always try to make sure that I'm using the right past or future tense and that I have got my facts straight before the editor comes back to me with some ear ache. Wish Slashdot was better at this kind of thing than it is. I think a lot of stuff on the internet is probably a lot better. -- Richard www.sheflug.org.uk -- 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] managing a adaptec 1430sa
Hi Alex, I have a similar model, and I just use the ASM [Adaptec Storage Manager] (?) from adaptec. Seems to work pretty well. G 2008/10/10 Alex Samad [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi I was wondering if any one out there uses one of these to do hardware raid. I thought I might set it up in raid10 with 4 1Tb drives. My questions on this is what software do I use to alert me if there any problems and will it show up as 1 scsi device (or is it a silly software raid solution and I have to use dmraid ) Alex -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkju370ACgkQkZz88chpJ2OZtgCeMIdXY3uKGwQY2QUvfYz/EDRJ DJAAn1Hj3jp7Yztf+lwOSVz1Jjarj90t =ZVUa -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] copying files by email header date, file date stamp same
I have a mailbox with approximately 50,000 emails; when I tried to age the emails with archivemail, archivemail or some part of it couldn't quite cope with size/volume/some unknown aspect, and, 'crashed' on this mailbox perhaps as a result of that, I now have some 50,000 email files sequentaily date/time stamped, some, there is no way of sorting on file date/time stamp (that I can see) I think... that failed procedure might have also duplicated? triplicated? quadrupled? mail volume... the mail headers do have correct date/time how can I copy say the last 7 days worth of emails from the files? like, if date in the header=last 7 days, copy this file from here to there -- 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: splitting mailboxes
Have you tried csplit(1) - set pattern to '^From ' and stand back. You'll have to deal with an empty file before the first item. You say they're sequential so no further processing is required to separate old ones. Note that many spams have crazy Date values.

Re: [SLUG] re: splitting mailboxes
something like ORIG_DATE=`date -d 7 days ago +%s` for mail in `find /path/to/mail/dir -type f` do DATE_STRING=`grep -m1 ^Date $mail | cut -d: -f 2-` MAIL_DATE=`date -d $DATE_STRING +%s` if [ $MAIL_DATE -gt $ORIG_DATE ] then mv $mail /some/path fi done no guarantees, particularly because I have not tested it, but the idea is to get 2 unix time stamps, see if the one from each mail is bigger than your cut off date, then move accordingly On Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 2:19 PM, Voytek Eymont [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu, October 16, 2008 1:39 pm, Jim Donovan wrote: Have you tried csplit(1) - set pattern to '^From ' and stand back.

[SLUG] Penetration testing tools?
Hello, I need to find tools to run penetration testing on our external web interfaces (a web application and an HTTP-based data interface). The idea is to be able to run automatic tests on new releases before deployment. Stress is on automatic. Has anyone here got good experience with such tools? I'm digging through the net and found lots of lists (e.g. http://www.samurainet.org/blog/2008/05/12/web-application-penetration-testing-my-tools-of-the-trade/) but if someone can give some input from their personal experience on what's worth pursuing and what's a waste of time it'll, well..., might save us some time.
