by Craig Box 10 Feb '05

10 Feb '05

Hi everyone, Received this in the 'mail. I suspect that none of you will be able to attend (except perhaps Stuart Yeates), but owing to the generosity of Philip Hazel in his recent presentation we owe UIT a favour. :) Craig Niall Mansfield wrote: > Hi, > > We're organizing a Conference about the Exim mail server, > in conjunction with the UKUUG.

Not getting mail from non-default ISP's-newbie question
by Lindsay 06 Feb '05

06 Feb '05

I am connected to my default ISP by DSL and all is ok there. I cannot however receive mail from my other ISP's via the DSL as I could through Windows. I think it is something to do with the settings in Tools, Settings, Mail Accounts, Edit, Receiving Mail, Authenitication Type (which in Windows was Password). There seems to be no place where I can enter or edit individual ISP passwords. How is that done please. Linz

He has a PhD in applied mathematics, and has spent the last 30 years writing general-purpose software for the Computing Service at the University of Cambridge in England. Some major projects were text editors and text formatters for use on an IBM mainframe system. Since moving from the mainframe to Unix around 1990, he has become more and more involved with email. This lead to his starting to develop Exim in 1995, and the PCRE regular expression library two years later. These open source projects have both turned out to be larger and more successful that expected. Outside interests include classical music (as a choral singer and late convert to viola playing), music typsetting, working backstage in amateur theatre, and finding nice places to go walking, preferably not as flat as Cambridgeshire. Philip is married, and has three grown-up sons.

Pipermail archives
by Craig Box 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Hi everyone, I have a pipermail list archive that has never munged email addresses before. I want to munge email addresses on it retrospectively - I believe that the mailing list archives are in mbox format. Has anyone here ever done this, and if so, would a simple regex search/replace be enough? Thanks Craig

newbie C++ query <iostream.h>
by Jodi Anderson 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

I've been teaching myself C++ lately and have been compiling at home on a RH6.1 box which has libstdc++ 2.9.0 The tutorials I have been using say to include <iostream.h> and cin/cout for standard input/output. I'm back at work after leave and am continuing my learnings now compiling on FC3 with libstdc++ 3.4.2 which gives me warnings about using depreciated headers with iostream.h. So I do what it says and remove the .h. This kicks back errors telling me that 'cin/cout is undeclared in function xyz A bit of a google and I find a page which says to add 'std::' to the cin/cout. I do this and things compiles fine. However I can't seem to find any info as to whether I need to add this all the time using the later libraries, or whether there is something extra I need to add/include in the source files So to cut a long story short my question is: do I continue using std::cin/cout? Or is there something else I need to include? Cheers Jodi -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jodi W.

Yeah for the HAL and D-Bus....
by Oliver Jones 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Sometimes Linux does thinks properly... With little prodding, poking or frucking about. I like it when it does. It makes for a nice change. I'm at my brothers place in Sydney and I plugged in his Epson Stylus C43UX USB printer. I was expecting to have to go into the Printer Config app and hopefully find a driver that would work and hopefully get it going. I plugged it in, and within a couple seconds a window appeared on my screen asking me to choose a driver as the PC couldn't find an exact match. It had highlighted Epson Stylus C42UX driver (the closest match). I clicked OK as there wasn't a better alternative. I went into the RedHat/Fedora printer config applet and checked the driver settings. Nothing out of the ordinary. Cups has just successfully printed a test page. I'm quite impressed. This is what we want. Project Utopia is starting to make its mark. HAL and D-Bus are going to make Linux a much more user friendly system. Both Gnome and KDE will benefit too. The wait however, is intolerable. I want it now damn it... :) Now if I could only figure out why Evolution crashes whenever I try and add words to my dictionary.

RHCT
by Gun Caundle 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

My aim is to learn how to use Linux. I am working through the RHCT course content topic list, gettting the info from the RedHat 9 Bible. However I feel like a blind man tapping around with a white stick. I am using it because it is a structured course from which I can learn how to use Linux. Is anybody a RH Certified Technician or had experience with the training course for this qualification? I need some advice/guidance on what I should be doing.
