Hi,
on behalf of Bob Hentges, I'm hereby announcing that
http://lb.wikipedia.org/ is online - yes, the luxembourgish
version of Wikipedia!
Feel free to participate in the effort!

Hi,
I'd like to have access on information concerning
power-battery management on my laptop (ACER TM662LCi)
using mandrake10 (so linux2.6.3-7mdk) , note that ACPI
is enabled at start, but when I'm asking for
system->configuration->kde->energy
managing->battery-power management, I've a message
indicating that ACPI is enabled but partially, and
options "AC adaptor" and "control method battery" are
not active, so i have to configurate kernal
accordingly and regenerate, but does anybody know
which labels are concerned in the .config file (under
/usr/src/linux)? Thank you in advance for answer.
Cheers
M.

Hi all,
http://www.linux-kongress.org/2004/
The Linux Kongress is taking place from September 7th to 10th in
Erlangen, Germany.
It is a very technical series of tutorials and presentations.
(Very) High-level people from the Linux (I might add GNU/, but there
really are kernel guys ;-)) developers community will be there to
present their work.
The proceedings are in english.
If you're interested, be quick to register & pay, as it will
get you a tariff reduction - no reduction available for being
LiLux member, I'm afraid.
Greetings, Eric
Hi all,
can a swap partition be shared among several Linux installation (all on
the same computer - so only one of them running at the same time)?
Are the any restrictions (same kernel level, distro, anything else)?

Hi,
not too long ago, I was asked about PCs with Linux preloaded.
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/49641
This Heise (german) article tells about Carrefour, who sell
a 300 EUR PC with Mandrake 10 - AMD Duron 1.8GHz, 256MB RAM,
40GB harddisk, graphics not good for gaming. No DVD-ROM (i.e.
CDROM only), no screen included.
Carrefour sells these machines in Belgium, France, Switzerland,
Luxembourg and Monaco.
While I love to see PCs with Linux preloaded, I'd personally
rather see "normal" machines instead of ultra-low-end (the
above machine can today be considered that - the Durons
being replaced with "Sempron" and all, and the equipment is
sufficient for simple stuff, but that's it...).

Especially the Windows-Sysadmins poor-sports tend to block everything
they think isn't useful to the "normal" user with their clickorama
firewalls. Why should they block an ssh outgoing connection?
It is possible to run an sshd or telnetd on a different port. So what
well-known ports do you think are normally not blocked by the admins of
universities and internetcafés? I thought of maybe IRC or something else
which people like to play with and would get angry if they couldn't.
What do you think would be the best choice?
Hi all,
whenever I go to http://www.linuxpackages.net and try to enter something
in the SearchPkg box (top left), my Mozilla 1.7 dies.
Where can I find a log of what happens?

I am not sure I should really do this, there's been too much arguing
already. But, looking at this from a different point of view, I am
curious to know who uses *which* distro for *what* purpose.
So would you care, if you wish to participate, to send _one line per
distro you use_ to this mailing list, in the form:
distro 1: purpose 1
distro 2: purpose 2
[...]
Disto in the sense of Unix/Linux flavour.
A few days ago, I believe someone was speaking about Coditel's internet
services. For those who have it, what has been your experience with Coditel?
My primary concerns are 1) quality of the service (unexplained down time,
mail servers down, too many users on one shared segment...) and 22) does the
USB modem that they offer work with linux or would I have to go out and get
myself a nice little linksys or Cisco router?

Hi all,
after a major system upgrade, I can't switch from X to text mode anymore
([Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F1-F6]). Changing resolution with [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[+] and
[Ctrl]+[Alt]+[-] isn't working either. I'm using the last X in Debian
unstable, fluxbox 0.9.9, although I don't think the problem lies within
the window manager.
Anybody got a clue or a similar problem? Googling didn't help.
