SSH Clients
by Paul Grenyer 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Hi all Can anyone recommend an SSH tool? I've been using putty, but one of the limitations of the Linux version appears to be that you cannot past into it. -- Thanks Paul Paul Grenyer e: paul.grenyer(a)gmail.com b: paulgrenyer.blogspot.com t: pjgrenyer

I thought I'd trained myself not to just hit 'reply' I think I must have parked that thread in a local folder - sometimes I drag whole threads in my ALUG folder if the original subject is not in my immediate field of interest. I am interested in a kit meet, though like St Augustine, " ...but not yet." -- Tony Anson www.girolle.co.uk/

They are - I guess you downloaded the pre-compiled installable version, try this source tarball from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/davmail/files then get: davmail-src-3.6.6-1032.tgz This includes a pile of Apache libraries (eg: commons-httpclient), but no closed source that I can spot.

Desktop Icons
by Peter Hunter 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Hi everyone, I'm new to this list, and I haven't used Linux for many years, so I need some help please. I have 'clean' installed Ubuntu 10.04 and am using Firefox 3.6.6 I like to keep links to my regular websites on the desktop, so I drag the URL to it. Trouble is, every icon is the FF gold star. How do I get FF to use the websites own icon, so that I can easily recognise which one I want to click on? Always assuming I can do so of course. Also, is there a way of adjusting the size of the icon? These ones are so large they look ugly. My screen resolution is 1600 x 900 on an Acer 20" monitor. I'm not a novice, so you can be as technical as you like. Cheers in advance. Peter

SFD2010 in East of England
by MJ Ray 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hi - Software Freedom Day (SFD, http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/) is Saturday 18 September 2010 and an excellent annual opportunity to promote Free Software. SFD is not widely known about in the UK, even among LUGs. At the moment, there's no SFD event listed near East Anglia. Would some ALUGgers like to start a SFD event so that people in the East of England have one? Given my current location, I'm trying to help the South West one. Maybe we could run a link between the two events, as well as any international links people can rustle up. Hope to hear back from someone, -- MJ Ray (slef) Webmaster and developer for hire at | software www.software.coop http://mjr.towers.org.uk | .... co IMO only: see http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html | .... op

That was probably the one I wrote called MailFwd, however that was somewhat against the ethos of not forwarding messages off the Exchange platform :) P.

DSL Wireless
by Simon Royal 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Hi I am enjoying Lubuntu but love checking out different distros. I have been playing with DSL - DamnSmallLinux - today and checking out their wiki it says a RaLink PCMCIA should work out of the box. I have an Edimax card, which is RaLink based but nothing shows up. Anyone have any experience with it as it is a blazingly fast and if I could get wireless working I might use it.

Friends, I admit that I am terrible with regex. I need a script to output all words beginning with "$" from a text file. Here's what I've got so far: cat file.txt | grep "$" | sed <some-regex> I don't want the whole line, just the word. Anyone help? :) Thanks, Richard

Newbie Meeting & Repo Question
by Steve 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Hi I've been dabbling with Linux for just over a year and am now consistently using Linux Mint albeit secondary to Windows. Do you ever run a newbies meeting, I still consider myself as that? Also, how is it possible to know (other than the approved Mint/Ubuntu repositories) which repositories/software is going to be ok, I feel like I may be missing out on stuff and in any case even in the approved repos they have disclaimers. Isn't Linux basically Linux won't most stuff play nicely together ? Steve
