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]

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 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 running slack64-current.I setup samba to share a printer on my home network. I can print to the printer locally.The printer is visible on the network. However when I try to print anything on the printer via samba (or cups for that matter) from either the local machine or the remote machine, everything acts as if the job went through, but nothing happens. I'm sure I've seen this before on another slack machine that is currently unavailable, but I can't remember what the answer was, and I'm trying to be more precise with this setup so that I actually learn something.

Recenlty I installed sbopkg for maintaining slackbuilds scripts and I found it very useful. But there are some limitations coming from outdated repositories for older version of slackware. Eg. a tar ball with Maxima source maxima-18.1.... which is default in the slackbuilds.org repository for slack 12.2 doesn't exist at this moment. One can find older and newer versions. I understand that maintainers of slackbuild scripts are rather focused on recent slack version. Nevertheless such outdated entries should be somehow marked
in the way that a visitor will know that a default source tarball is no longer accessible. Maybe persons who submit the scripts should be responsible for keeping track for a sources. If that problem won't be solved it is a danger that slackbuilds.org will play only a role of some addons to the very recent slack release - but if this will be a case then simpler is to build say additional two or three DVD's of packages.
My sound card fuctions fine when playing music and videos butwont play sound from web sites.Sound card is snd-hda-intel which Yast2 reports it as but it is integrated on this amd 785 chipset motherboard which is a Gigabyte GA-MA785gm-us2h motherboard.
I have a virtual server which acts mainly as mail server. I wonder whether I could set up a mirror for certain files like Linux ISO images, conference talk recordings and other stuff.How could I seed automatically all torrents from XML feeds plus torrents added by hand? Further conditions: The data files should be accessable via HTTP/FTP, too total traffic and bandwidth uage need to be restricted, plus bonus points for restrictions per feed or file.
I'm trying to set up Conky to show a number of RSS feeds, and while I can get it to show the raw titles of items how would I trim these titles down to a given number of characters (say, 40) and add an ellipsis to the end if text has been cut off? The length of titles by default can vary wildly, so if only for the sake of organisation it'd be nice to have a maximum title length imposed.
I found this thread that does something kind of similar for Transmission torrents, but I have no idea how I'd adapt it for RSS feeds. As it stands, the code (well, a sample at least) is simply:
How to make Chromium to pass RSS feeds to Liferea? There are several browser extensions for RSS feeds but it seems they only work with web-based readers.
In the last couple of days when I start Kontact it gets frozen on FEEDS. I have tried to start all of the applications within Kontact separately and they all start fine except for Akregator i.e. Feeds. I have been looking for a debug howto or a log file location to try diagnose where/what the problem is. Opensuse 11.2, KDE 4.3.5.
Has anyone come across a means to output rss feeds to audio? A Google search led me on a "wild goose chase". I was looking for a newsbeuter or snownews plugin of sorts. Either realtime output to speakers or piped to speex/ogg/mp3 I *really* need to learn how to code, so I can do these things myself
After digging around in vain in my local .kde4 I am unable to find where the RSSNow plasmoid stores the feeds. It apparently wants to keep them secret forever.
(Man - Plasmoids are okay, but the utter lack of documentation for them makes them far less useful than then could be.)
This is probably the wrong forum to star and I am clutching at straws here hoping someone can point me in the right direction.I own a cheap IP Network WebCam, bought from eBay (like this one:it doesn't list it's manufacturer anywhere and just says it is the F-Series IP Camera.It works well, both on Firefox and IE. However, you can only get a live video stream with audio out of it using IE and an ActiveX plugin or the supplied Windoze only IP Camera Super-Client software which doesn't like Wine.
As I am mainly an Ubuntu user, I was wondering if anyone knew of any tricks to get hold of the two streams, maybe using VLC to view?I've tried IE4Linux and Play-On-Linux to install IE in ubuntu, but the ActiveX unsurprisingly doesn't work. I was hoping that:someone can point me to a forum that might have someone who knowssomeone can tell me how to analyse the network traffic that IE is getting to get an IP address for the video and audio feedssomeone has some experience with these cameras and knows the answer to all my questions I've tried using wireshark, but the output makes no sense to me - I've figured out various addresses to the video stream:[URL]But I can't get the audio stream. I was hoping to use it as a baby monitor, it has excellent night viewing capabilities with its IR LEDS, but having no audio in Ubuntu with it is a pain.
I'm about to make the switch to Ubuntu but what's holding me back is Liferea. From what I've read it's by far the best RSS reader but I'm having three major problems with it...
1) I am trying to get Liferea to download podcasts that I subscribe to. I've set my download folder in preferences, and I've set the feed to automatically download enclosures in the advanced tab of the feed folder. Nothing is downloading, why?
2) I want the 'Unread' search folder to display all feeds from all subscriptions (read or unread) apart from those in the Podcast folder I've created. How do I do this?
3) I read an article in a feed and delete the article. When the feed updates, the article returns - how do I keep it deleted?
Conky can be used to display a variety of information on the users desktop. I wanted to use Conky instead to display the current status of security as reported by:
SANS Internet Storm Center IBM Internet Security Systems Symantec Threatcon McAfee Threat Center
I therefore created 4 small scripts which download the current status from these sites, and set the colour of those status's depending on the current value.The conky configuration allows for a semi-transparent background - though this is optional.Attached is an example image showing the 4 different colours.Also attached is an archive with the 4.sh files, .conkyrc and draw_bg.lua (from here http:[url].....
I have used Linux in various versions for a while. I am tasked with "resurrecting" older PC's for a "thrift" shop here. I load Linux and Open Office on them. I have a PC now that had Xubuntu loaded on it that worked fine. I had to load Ubuntu 9.1 on it as I did not have the passwords. The system loaded fine from a CD. When I boot the system now and look at the computer's resources, I see the hard disk, the CD drive, and the DVD drive. However, when I place a CD or DVD in either of the drives, that drive disappears.If I place the Ubuntu CD in the drive it will boot fine.
I have a fat32 disk plugged into my mobo on my desktop machine. It has no o/s installed and I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS live to access and retrieve the data on that disk.
Code: fdisk -l shows the disk as being a Windows 95 fat32 file system disk
I am facing a little problem with names servers.have a VPS with Kloxo installed on itI have registered 2 name servers (i.e. ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com) past one month.These nameservers are not accessible yet. I have check the nameserver on internic site and they are registered with the correct IP. But if I access it online via Internet explorer or nslookup I get server not found. And if I put ip address in IE I get the default page of my server
I just installed Fedora 12 and after booting up to Gnome, I put in my install DVD and it says no media is detected. When I view the hardware on the system, it lists my DVD drive. I had the same problem in Fedora 9. I assumed it was a bug in the system and always used my laptop to download and burn media (Fedora 11). I can't burn to empty media or read data from a readable disc.
I am a complete Linux/Ubuntu Noob and researched the issue and came up with nothing. I cannot figure out how to access my CD/DVD drive. Places >> Computer shows nothing and neither do any of the sub components. I don't know enough about the console to try to access the drive from there. Every time a user gets close to a solution (to my knowledge), contributors stop replying and the years roll on.
I have tried:
Code: eyesonyou@ubuntu:/dev$ dir cd* cdrom cdrw eyesonyou@ubuntu:/$ cdrom@ cdrom@: command not found
I am on home internet access so it does not have a fix IP. I would like to set my web server to be accesible from outside. So what I do? First I must set my router to point access for port 80 to this machine. Then in the machine I open port 80 right? Then what software must I install is it no-ip?
i have configured the samba as pdc in debian squeeze,in the "View Workgroup Computers" window of windows xp there is linux shared folder icon but when want to open the folder get this error: \LinuxcpShared is not accessible. you might not have the permissions to use the network resources. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
How do I find, for example, what version of gfortran is available for Fedora 14 without having to boot Fedora?
From the Fedora Home page or the wiki. I could not find a list of browser-accessible sites for Fedora-14-compatible software. I have in mind something like the Debian repository.
Searching with Google is a problem because of the competing fedora-commons.org repository and the multiplicity of names like RHEL and EPEL that may not be compatible with Fedora and may not be free.
I'm having an issue setting up users for file sharing. In Ubuntu 10.04 (which is awesome btw) I right click the file, and share it on the network. I can see it right away on other machine, and login using the main user account on the server, no problem. I get an issue when I try to login to the share using additional account I setup. I get to the login screen, and it seems to accept the username and password as being valid (it doesn't bring up the login screen again), instead it brings up a error message saying it's unable to mount the share. It seems so much like a permission issue. I don't want to grant all kinds of access for these users, what do I do?
I am running virtualbox 3.2.8 and whilst I can use my USB keyboard my Canncon LIDE scanner, USB exble ternal hard drive and a logitech joystick I cannot access my Cannon IP4700 printer or Samsung laser printer.All my USB devices are recognized in the vbox settings nut are not recognized by guest win7 0r xp-pro any clues?
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and Samba 4.The folder I've shared is on NTFS partition and though is visible from other Windows 7 system on LAN, can't be browsed. Even from my own computer if go to network places the folder is there but when I double click on it I get
I have a problem with apache server. The thing is - I can connect to my server on localhost, but when I try to connect from local network, it doesn't reply.
I can ping my web server from lan. I can ssh my web server from lan.
I haven't modified iptables since install except these commands>

I download something all the files and folders have root permission. So I can't do anything. I can change them all to have permission for me but it takes like an hour for one download. How do I make EVERYTHING accessible to me?
No SATA capable systems around the house to test this drive out, but with a SATA to USB converter I have been able to access SATA drives except this one particular Seagate drive. Upon connecting this drive dmesg shows
