Has anyone successfully got the Microsoft Wireless Desktop keyboard and mouse working with Linux? One of the guys at work has just plugged on into a RedHat linux machine and the keyboard map is completely up the creek. -- Douglas Willis (ddw(a)nerc-bas.ac.uk) British Antarctic Survey High Cross, Madingley Road Cambridge, CB3 0ET, United Kingdom tel: +44 1223 221400, fax: +44 1223 362616

The date for your diaries is Saturday 14th September 2002, 12noon until 5pm. Doubtless to say, there will also be a session in some pub afterwards, should you not be able to make it during the day. We will be meeting in the New Cavendish Street campus of Westminster University, this is in the shadow of the BT Tower, nearest tube stations are Great Portland Street and Goodge Street. You will find a map at [ http://www.wmin.ac.uk/static/maps.asp ] For this meeting, and all the future meetings, we have the use of the Universities 'large' lecture theatre, the network lab and the Multimedia lab. The large lecture theatre - Hopefully you will appreciate the use of this larger lecture theatre. For those that went last time, your comments and criticisms were justified about the smaller theatre being too small. We are still finalising the details of the talks, so these will be posted to the web site soon, <http://gllug.linux.co.uk>. The network lab - We will use the network lab, this month, for rolling demo installations. The multimedia room - This will be used as a chat area, away from the lectures. There are monitors, desks and power, so people are welcome to set up their own equipment here if they want. Hopefully we will have some BoaF groups form here. ******************************************** The GLLUG website, you remember - it's at http://gllug.linux.co.uk, has had a revamp. Do make sure you have a look, pass on your comments. ******************************************** The meeting after the next meet is booked for the 19th October 2002 -- Colin Murphy -SpudULike(a)blueyonder.co.uk --__--__-- Message: 2 To: announce(a)lists.alug.org.uk From: MJ Ray <markj(a)cloaked.freeserve.co.uk> Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2002 12:08:06 +0100 Subject: [Alug Announce] Fwd: [lugmaster] Embedded Linux Seminar (was Fwd: RE: UK Linux User Groups Contact Form) Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2002 07:52:14 +0100 From: "Mark Lewis" <mark(a)lug.org.uk> Subject: [lugmaster] Embedded Linux Seminar (was Fwd: RE: UK Linux User Groups Contact Form) hi all, long time no speak..... fiona has asked me to email this..... regards, mark *********** BEGIN FORWARDED MESSAGE *********** On 15/08/2002 at 14:19 fiona(a)feabhas.com <fiona(a)feabhas.com> wrote: >Hi Mark > >That would be great if you could pass it on to other Linux users.

Hi all, Can anyone give me a hint as to why "sed s/word1/word2/g filename" displays the file 'filename' with word2 in place of word1 but the change isn't made permanent? Thanks, Jen

Mandrake giveaway
by Malcolm Locke 22 Aug '02

22 Aug '02

I noticed the following being thrown out of the office adjacent to ours and, whilst I don't have use for them myself, figured I could find a worthy home for them. All are boxed and un-opened, and most appear to contain manuals. 5 x ProSuite edition 8.2 (8 CD's + 1 DVD) 3 x Standard edition 8.2 (3 CD's) 2 x Standard edition 8.1 (3 CD's) 1 x ProSuite edition 8.1 (9 CD's + 1 DVD) 1 x Power pack edition 8.1 (7 CD's) 1 x Standard edition 8.0 (3 CD's) If anyone would like to collect these from me near Sudbury and distribute them at the next meeting, or if anyone can suggest another worthy cause in the region, please let me know.

Hi people, (Well I assume you're all people...) Unfortunately, Room Bookings have all gone on holiday so the Conference Office are dealing with their work. This means booking Nelson Court Common Room B (which doesn't even have net access) would cost £157 for a day. So, I'm afraid that's the 1st Sept shot in the b*ks. I'll try and get a room when term starts. Alexis -- Sometimes the blind man sees clearest. Confidence is the feeling you get before you understand the problem.

I'm using vnc on windows box to view linux screen: had to install xvncserver, then access it using "run vncviewer" from windows, entering port [ipaddress]:1 - am prompted for password then it brings up screen using blackbox. How it works is a mystery to me, as I haven't done anything to the /etc/vnc.conf file at all. Doubt this helps, as always! Jenny.

using the Xmono server
by Glen Tyler 21 Aug '02

21 Aug '02

I have a small i486 with a black and white screen. For obvious reasons I want to use the mono server in my xconfiguration, but I cannot seem to get it to work. The machine is running RH6.0 (thanks to who sent me the disc -Craig I think, but not sure), during install it always loads the SVGA server, due to the card definition (Cirrus Logic GD5422). However editing the X11 config file to remove all the screens that use the SVGA and VGA16 server result in the error - failure to connect to X server. I have Xmono installed. The reason I need the mono server is that under the lynx browser I cant see any of the links as the display is using a bpp depth of 8. any ideas? by the way I managed to get the LXF slackware 8.1 disc to install on my 486 with 16MB ram - now that is a distro! Glen
