2009-06-12 Thread Nick
Last weekend my hard drive failed on my Mac. I did have it backed up, but Xastir won't work off the back-up. I was using the last compiled version that Dana had posted a couple of years ago. I decided to go the VMWare route and installed it last night. Installed the Prolific USB driver on m

If all you need is a timestamp visible when you view the page remotely, just do this (assuming you're running Apache): In a file called snapshot.shtml which is in the same place as snapshot.png: This file last modified --- On Fri, 6/12/09, Keith Kaiser wrote: > From: Keith Kaiser > Subj

No worries Curt, I'll still pester you guys for changes... after all I'm still waiting for my pos2object code. I'm running Mac OSx the latest and greatest and fastest growing distro on the planet, and yes I have a really nice clock in my tool bar but again the request was for one on Xastir

Mmmm, I think most of us have either a GNOME or KDE toolbar across either the top or bottom of each desktop that has a clock in it - amongst many other things. Are you running a 'down sized' distro? What desktop manager do you use? 73 Keith Kaiser wrote: On the other hand, adding the time to

I'm not trying to start an argument... so please forgive. But just one or two extra points. 1) Unix is only one platform that Xastir runs on. One of it's bragging points is how many other systems it can run on. 2) I will find a way to overlay a timestamp, the point was I wanted the file cre

I don't see a lot of documentation on this. Google showed me a couple of pages but they mostly lead back to aprs.fi. On top of that I don't really know what I want to ask. I guess what I want to do is see and track the various satellites and ISS on Xastir. I seem to have found AO-51 which s
