* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk At ALUG2 I was moaning about my difficulties with the Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live beta drivers in RH6. I'm really please to say that I have managed to get the damn thing to work. In the beta driver rename sblive.o-2.2.5 to sblive.o-2.2.5-15(or currently installed kernel version RH6 comes with 2.2.5-15) it's read only so you need to change the permissions (don't forget to change them back). In the install_sblive script change the line that reads `V2=2.2.5' … [View More]

Scanners in Linux
by John Woodard 01 Jul '99

01 Jul '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Has anybody had any experience with flatbed scanners in Linux My cheapo parallel port jobbie won't work in a real OS so I'm going to replace it with a nice shiny new one. I'm thinking about a scsi model, because I think I read somewhere that they are more likely to work in Linux. Any ideas on which scanners work in Linux or which to avoid and is there a Linux equivalent to TWAIN? I'm only looking for a low end A4 device for general photos and OCR stuff, not too … [View More]

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk I think that there should be a change to the ol' About ALUG page...maybe the socialising bit should be emphasized ;-) [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECT of "unsubscribe" to this list and "subscribe" to ] [ alug-announce(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk A few shots are up at http://omnipotent.net/alug2/ Some of the pics are somewhat less than perfect due to my tinkering with the settings (the camera is < 1 week old so I need the practise) ;-) My thanks to the organisers for an interesting afternoon!

16 Jun '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Hello All again Thanks for the previous help, worked a treat. Sorry about the Dual, Duel or even Jewel mistake. Second request for help now.

HELP!
by Daniel Smith 16 Jun '99

16 Jun '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Hello! I know that this is not the place to ask but HELP! With the impending meeting I thought I'd have a little play with Red Hat. OK I've got to confess I haven't 'played' with Linux for over two months now! I've been using, dare I say it Micro$haft Windoze 95. I had installed Red Hat from the PC Plus cover disk onto a third hard drive but some how I've lost the duel boot options, can anybody tell me how to create a boot floppy so I can get Linux back? … [View More]
