General :: Downloading Simple NNTP Client For Ubuntu?
Jan 5, 2011
I need to download a particular NNTP group. I do not need to setup any crons, put group contents in /opt and other stuff. Just run <fetch-nntp> <server> <group-name> <output-dir> and be done with it without putting a lot of garbage in the system.
If that <fetch-nntp> would not fetch the same messages on the second run fine. But I can live without it. All NNTP clients that I've looked at are trying to be a NNTP server as well. Is there something simpler that is suitable for my needs?

I'm attempting to take Ubuntu 10 down to an image as small as possible to support Citrix Receiver. We currently log them into a browser interface using Firefox where they authenticate against a Citrix DDC and then launch the plug-in. I'm wondering if there is a simple way to determine what services I can shutoff to limit the footprint of the OS. Some of the machines have only 256MB of RAM. They run the plug-in just fine, but there's a lot background activity affecting the machines...

I am looking for an email client with the following specifications. I have trialled most of the commonly recommended clients but have found ongoing irritations that push me to keep looking.
Specifications
1. specific email client, not PIM
2. can run as a portable application or configuration files and mail can be stored remotely
3. minimal or no dependences
4. can scan for viruses
[code]...
Evolution matches 5, 6 and 9. The program is a good general client but slow and glitchy. Can't scan for viruses in emails. Kmail matches 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9. Does most of what I need with the powertools plugin but does not play well with Gnome. The program comes with too many dependencies that makes it very hard to move data around or even use on various machines. The dependence on the akonadi server is quite frustrating and makes this kde application a great product but only really useful on kde. Thunderbird matches 1, 2, 5, 8 and 9. Again reasonably comprehensive but lacks the basic ability to scan incoming emails (filters can pipe incoming data to an external program). The fact that the mail is intrinsically linked with your Mozilla profile makes working with the email file very difficult.
Clawsmail matches 1, 2 (old version), 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 (Windows Port old and not maintained) and 9. Looks good but appears to lack portability and a current windows version. I want to check my mail (predominantly POP accounts), have spam and viruses set aside/deleted/quarantined, have my attachments saved to a directory so my mailbox does not get too big and for the emails and configuration data be stored in a distinct directory that can be readily synchronized between computers. The program should be able to run on Ubuntu and Windows XP/Vista/7, on the same data once the data directories are synchronized. And no, I don't want an Internet based option like gmail or yahoo.

I tried Ubuntu, Kubuntu and now Xubuntu, all 11.04. I've also tried Deluge, Transmission and Ktorrent. With 10.10 everything worked fine (all variants). Also, in Windows 7 it's working fine. But now it drives me crazy. As soon as I start a torrent, the download starts but after 30 seconds or so the download drops to a zero. Also, I'm not able to browse anymore. The networkmanager tells me I still have a connection.
Some say it has something to do with the number of peers the client connects to, or it's my router. My router isn't the problem, as it's working fine with 10.10 and windows. So maybe it's the number of peers right? Question. Why can I connect with over 200 peers at the same time while I'm using 10.10 or windows, but can't do it with 11.04? Better put, what should I do to get this working fine again? Going back to 10.10?

For a while now GMANE has put up GWENE which is an RSS/Atom feed to Usenet portal. I have just created groups for all Slackware ChangeLog Feeds available at [URL]
Slackware Security: gwene.com.slackware.security
Slackware 32bit Current ChangeLog: gwene.com.slackware.current.changelog
Slackware 64bit Current ChangeLog: gwene.com.slackware64.current.changelog
SlackBuilds.org ChangeLog: gwene.org.slackbuilds.changelog
AlienBOB's SlackBuilds Changelog: gwene.com.slackware.alien.slackbuilds.changelog
AlienBOB's Blog Entries: gwene.com.slackware.alien.blog
Sadly the Slackware stable feed is busted, so there is no point in adding it. Heres an example how to setup your news reader:[URL] You just need to use news.gwene.org instead of news.gmane.org as server. Note that the gwene server includes gmane so you dont need to have both. I am also considering adding AlienBOBs feed [DONE]

I am trying to write a simple client that opens a secure connection. My intent is to use the OpenSSL library.
I am following this tutorial: [URL]... The tutorial mentions that I need a trust certificate store called TrustStore.pem. However, I can't find that on my machine. Is there a way to generate it? I separately downloaded the source from the OpenSSL website. The source distribution doesn't have it either. There is a whole bunch of .pem files. Can I use any one of them?

I don't know if I only need the 3 ISO images that're last in the list and which is the installer.
MD5SUMS
MD5SUMS.sign
SHA1SUMS
SHA1SUMS .sign
Binary-1.iso
Binary-2.iso
DVD-1.iso
Would you know of a free Windows-based disc burning software that allows the disk to be left after use, i.e. allows writing on it again.

I am, as the forum title suggests, new to linux and to programming and having trouble figuring out how to do this.I have a very large XML file with a lot of information in it. I'm trying to get a single tag out of the file, each of these tags contains a single web link and I want to download the file at every single one of those links. I really don't know how to do this.My thought, though its probably not the most efficient or correct way, was to use VIM to search the document and somehow extract all of this one particular tag and then use wget on the links.

Have you had to download drivers for GNU/Linux and install them when some device didn't work? Except nVidia/ATi drivers I mean. Just like in Windows. Or the only driver you can download for GNU/Linux is a driver for videocard and all other are in always in the system?

I am using ubuntu 8.04 with firefox browser.
There are some sites which allow you to listen the mp3 song like [url]
I have found the most simple way to get mp3 file
(1)Sometimes you get address ending with .mp3 so just copy the whole URI and use in terminal wget "PasteWhatYouCopied"
(2)But in the link I have mentioned there is no mp3 link in address bar.
Here I found out in totem-plugin-viewer(that is the thing that plays your file in browser).Just Click the button next to sound and select copy
In example taken above it is [url]
And use just like before wget "PasteWhatYouCopied" -O output.wma
Also notice that you have the song as output.wma in current folder of terminal.
(3)If there is a video on webpage then either wait for it to get completely downloaded & get it from /tmp.Remember don't close the page till video gets downloaded completely & you copied it from /tmp then only close that tab.
(4)There is a firefox addon 'unplug' which can help for flv because after sending file to download via unplug you can close that tab.

I need to download the Kernel sources add a few lines and then recompile and install the new files. I found the following lines that are suppose to do it on nVidia's forums:
Code:
# Install Kernel Sources
sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-2.6.24-17-rt
sudo apt-get source linux-image-2.6.24-17-rt[code]........
what the Kernel Module Source packages are called?... This guide I am trying to follow is obviously dated but it is the only solid lead I have been able to find towards making my ram work...This is the original thread on the NVNEWs boards: Unable to install Nvidia driver on 9500M + Ubuntu - Page 2 - nV News Forums,Read through that thread I linked to the NVidia forums for a detailed run down of what is wrong.
The semi short version: There is some sort of issue with the NVidia driver on the G1Sn (and several other Asus Models) and the way the Linux Kernel address memory, the issue results in not being able to use more than 2 Gigs of ram with the Nivida drivers. There is a patch (again check the nvidia forum link) that people said they had applied to fix this issue. At this point I am seriously considering Vista again if I can't get this working I love Ubuntu but I hate having my hardware limited by my software...where to download the files I need to recompile in the Kernel with the patch I need for my ram to work?
I tried posting there but it seems like the thread is long dead.. how I can download the needed files and maybe how I add these lines to it?I also started a thread on the ubuntu forums here: [ubuntu] Downloading Current Kernel Sources.

Example: [url]
This was what I tried...wget -A rar [-r [-l 1]] <mediafireurl>
That is to say, I tried with and without the recursive option. It ends up downloading an HTML page of a few KB in size, while what I want is in the range 90-100 MB and RAR.
What happens with MediaFire for those who may not be aware, is that it first says
Processing Download Request...
This text after a second or so turns into the download link and reads
Click here to start download..
