Calendars To Help Track My Period

Linux Day 2008 and blog: Part Three!

Hello to all you guys!

As I hope you've read here in TuxPress for Linux Day 2008 I am trying to set up a kind of "committee" to further promote exchange between Windows and Linux.

But now I need to know one thing: who is willing to participate? Why alone is impossible! And then we are many, many ideas would be great to combine with all (or at least a large part) for one day!

If you want to participate even commented that I take note of all names!

What will be done?

Well I think that once put together we must first organize on issues that deal on what to focus better, how to publicize the initiative, and more!

Any idea is welcome!

At this point let me know if you're interested or not!

Hi!

Servuce Disconnect Request Letter

Operate a scanner!

Hello everyone!

Yesterday I needed for the first time since I have Linux to scan a document and I tried to run my scanner (HP 2200c Scanjket) and I did not succeed.
After several hours of research and installer / uninstaller get it to work!

We list the procedure I had to run!

First, you must have installed the package healthy (certainly should already be there) and especially his sane-utils package ! If you have not

:

sudo apt-get install sane sane-utils

At this point we check whether the scanner is recognized, we give this command: scanimage-L


The output should be something like this:

device `plustek: libusb: 002:003 'is a Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 2200c USB flatbed scanner

Otherwise it means that your scanner is not recognized!

At this point it is easy to scan a document, the command is as follows:

scanimage-d plustek: libusb: 002:003 - format tiff - resolution 300-x 215-y 297
> output.tiff

The part in bold, you must replace it by the output of previous command (scanimage-L).
Should not it just wait for the scanner: my first takes a little while to warm up and go! But soon you will see that part will create the file containing your scanned image output.tiff!

I hope I can be of help to someone!

Replacing Lock On Truck Toolbox

For fans of Boy! Ruby

Hello everyone!

Today I was doing cleaning my house when I found an old Game Boy Pocket of 96!
At this point I was reminded of one thing: on windows it was easy to find but on the Game Boy emulators for Linux?

Well I started looking first in the Internet to read opinions on the forums, and then doing a tour of the repository.

And here's the winner, the best emulator that I found was mednafen !

mednafen fact is an emulator (which uses OpenGL and SDL) almost all peripherals Nintendo and Atari!
does not have a GUI, command line works but is very easy to use.

Once you've downloaded the ROM gameboy just give the simple command:

mednafen nome_rom.gb

To install the program instead of just a simple command:

sudo apt-get install mednafen

The Roma are around the internet, just a google search with to find many!

With this software anyone can relive and play games once, what are now considered "bad" but in reality are the best ever!

Hello everyone!
