Hi All,
Could someone direct me to a place or project where requests for ideas
are canvassed? I would like to see a way to synchronise a flashgun with
a web-cam. This could lead to a much better result from web-cam
photography in low light situations. I know that the Digital camera
manufacturers of DSLRs have (Win/Mac) software to fire the camera from a
computer, so something in the Open Source realm could be a real boon.

G'day All,
Anybody had any experience with either of these:
IOGear Wireless 4-Port USB Sharing Station
IOGear 4-Port USB Sharing Hub
Both come with installation CD which raises concerns.
Or any suggestions on similar devices?
Thanks

Hello All,
I subscribe to Linux Journal, which as gone digital only. When I go to
get the digital copy, things time out with a connection closed message
when I use wget. It can be anywhere from less than 1% to somewhere below
20%, and currently not doing partial downloads to continue, having to
restart from scratch.
I ran traceroute, and attach the results. Some of the times appear way
out of whack. I am on the Telstra BigPond Ultimate Dial Up Plan, so each
time I "connect", it is a local call fee, and a maximum of ten hours
before being disconnected, along with the limitations of an _external_
56K hardware modem.
Just to put the lie to some of my experience, the current invocation is
past 22%, but the traceroute was running concurrently. That should not
have an effect, but then I think that some of the systems are badly
misconfigured. It would be good to put a suitable "explosive" under the
irresponsible sysadmins, and the incompetent management.

Dear Group,
I have an apparently dead USB key.
This was last used on a windows box (xp or newer) at Victoria
University. It was correctly unmounted but now appears to be dead.
Plug it in and the light flashes for ever but won't mount on two Linux
systems Ubuntu (Natty and Precise) or a windows 7 box. The following
is the best I can find are there any other suggestions on how to
recover this. Most if not all of the files are backed up I just want
to learn more about how to recover files or format the key so I can
reuse it.

Hi,
This is the best diagnosis page I have used for fixing USB problems -
it may have something you haven't tried:

Just an observation, this Linux program, gthumb, doesn't seem to
display some of my photos. Most are ok, however with some,
confusingly, if you proceed to the next image it will continue
displaying the last image displayed instead. Thumbnails all show up
fine. In all cases the files appear to be complete and without
corruption (as far as I can tell anyway).
Am trying out another program, gwenview, this program does seem to
display all photos, including photos gthumb can't.
No idea why...

Thanks for the pointers, I'll have to get someone else to handle the
skin side of things, I tend not to fiddle much with the aesthetic
side of things in any software. :)

It's going to be a public wiki, in the sense that it's going to be on
the Internet, and the userbase is not clearly defined, but will be
largely or wholly self selecting.

Hello,
A friend of mine is a die-hard user of the Windows MUA The
Bat! (yes, the client name includes the exclamation mark). He does,
however, wish to move to Linux at some point and is looking for a mail
client which has comparable features to The Bat!
He's already tried Thunderbird and it doesn't meet his requirements,
also GPG support (either directly or through plugins) is essential.
Plus his hardware is so old that he can't just run Windows in a VM to
continue using The Bat! and Wine may or may not work, but is beig
considered. The ideal solution, of course, is a native client which
supports the same features as The Bat! While hardware constraints
have him considering Lubuntu as the primary candidate for a
distribution.
Those of you unfamiliar with The Bat! can refer to these pages for a
list of features (of which my friend uses most):
http://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bat!
Does anyone have suggestions for email clients for him to try?
Regards,
Ben
P.S. My GPG key has been updated since I last posted to the list,
there's a link to my key transition statement in my .sig file.
