If you are running openSUSE 10.2 follow these steps to get test packages of compiz-git, compiz-fusion-plugins and CompizConfig Settings Manager.Be warned that these are test packages, so package names and many other things will change shortly. For everyday use I would advise not to install these packages and wait for proper release. There is absolutely no guarantee that these packages will work on your system.
1. As root run rpm -e compiz compiz-gnome compiz-kde (Remove previous compiz install completely)
2. download and install yast2-meta-package
3. Fire up konqueror and click on this:
4. Launch compiz with the following command once installation is done:
compiz –replace ccp &
gtk-window-decorator –replace & (if running gnome/xfce)
or
kde-window-decorator –replace & (if running KDE)
Start new settings manager:
ccsm &
Select all the plugins you like, Add “your-window-decorator –replace” as command string under ‘decoration’ plugin. Set ‘Focus Effect’ to ‘Dodge’.

The product coming from the merging of Beryl and Compiz - a new name: “Compiz Fusion“. For those confused, Compiz is the name of the core, and all the plugins are now called Compiz Fusion.

I use RT as a problem-ticketing system (or at least, I encourage people to use it). Since I don’t manage my own mail server, I’ve been putting off the mail gateway part of this for a while, but finally got it working yesterday.
The mail handler is rt-mailgate, and the basic setup is explained in the man page. In your /etc/aliases file, add the line:
rt-email: "|/usr/bin/rt-mailgate --queue General --action correspond --url https://localhost/rt
If using exim, you also need to edit exim4.conf.template to include the line:
pipe_transport = address_pipe
somewhere outside the SYSTEM_ALIASES_PIPE_TRANSPORT block. Run update-exim4.conf and restart exim.
More after the jump…
The first problem I encountered after this point was that I was getting a 401 Error from the webserver when I tried a test message from the command line. I use Kerberos/LDAP within my systems, and have RT set up to use Kerberos auth, so spent a while experimenting with that. Turns out it’s more straightforward than that: the mail stuff is within a section of RT entitled “NoAuth”, which means pretty much what it says on the tin. If you have some kind of authorisation for the RT website, you need to exclude the NoAuth sections from that. So the relevant section of your Apache config should look a bit like this:
<Location /rt/NoAuth>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Satisfy any
</Location>
<Location /rt/REST/1.0/NoAuth>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Satisfy any
</Location>
<Location /rt>
# Whatever auth you want to have here (mine is Kerberos)
</Location>
After this it worked fine from the command line, so the final part was to set up a cronjob to run fetchmail appropriately (if you have your own mail server you can do this differently - e.g. set /etc/aliases on the mailserver to direct straight to the webserver address). My fetchmail config looks like this:
poll mailserver.example.com protocol IMAP username rt-email password PWD smtpaddress example.com
mda '/usr/bin/rt-mailgate --queue General --action correspond --url https://localhost/rt'
and the crontab line (run on the webserver) is:
*/2 * * * * root /usr/bin/fetchmail -f /etc/cron.d/rt-fetchmail.conf > /var/log/rtmail.log 2>&1
And that’s it - all works beautifully now.

I’ve been aware of the existence of the Linux operating system for a long time, but I’d always assumed that it would be too complicated for me to learn and was a bit too geeky. Recently, however, I began hearing about a version of Linux called Ubuntu that was supposed to be pretty easy to use. Flash forward a few weeks and not only have I found that it is relatively easy to use, but it’s already replaced Windows Vista as my main operating system of choice for day to day use!
Despite my generally positive experience with Ubuntu, I was almost sure that there would be no way to synchronize my Windows Mobile Outlook information (contacts, tasks, schedule, etc.) with Ubuntu. But after a bit of tinkering this morning I’m amazed to report that I am able to synchronize with Ubuntu! Not only is this fact amazing standing by itself, it is even more incredible when one considers that I cannot even synchronize this data with Vista (see my complaint to this effect here)!
