Arch Linux Weekly Newsletter
*Jason Chu and Ben Mazer*
Opening
Welcome to the Arch Linux Newsletter. This attempts to give you an ``at
a glance'' look at the world of Arch Linux.
News
1. As the title says, gnome 2.6 is in the house. There isn't much to
watch out for, Arjan and JGC did a good job catching conflicts in
the testing stage so the install should go flawlessly.
To upgrade: pacman -Syu
To install: pacman -Sy gnome
Some GTK2.x related packages were also upgraded to suit the
requirements of gnome 2.6.

This Week in Dev Land
1. There was a brief discussion about makedepends: which ones should
be considered for inclusion. The consensus was that things that
makepkg does (like uncompressing, especially with unzip) and base
packages do not need to be part of makedepends. Anything that's
needed by the build function, that are not in base, should be a
makedepends.
2. Tobias is back, with a hurt arm (but he can still type!), and
Aurelien is on vacation now.
3. I have split wlan-ng into wlan-ng24 and wlan-ng26. They will both
stay up to date as new kernels come out.

Discussions
Forum Highlights
1. Cmf has been working on a KDE frontend to pacman. He recently
released version 0.2. Help to test it out in this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=3586.
2. Many threads were started on the GNOME 2.6 update. There are a few
issues that seem to be plaguing Arch users. If you're having a
problem with missing icons or gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-session,
please search the forum for existing discussions.
Mailing List Highlights
1. Patrick Polzer has volunteered to maintain the i586 port of
Archlinux. He's experienced, and seems enthusiastic. If you would
like to help or give your input on the i586 port, participate in
this thread:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 01205.html
TUR Mailing List
Nothing exciting has been happening on the TUR front. Packages are being
tested as normal. We are receiving very few bug reports on the packages
in STAGING though. Please help us test these out, and if you have a
problem, send an email to the TUR-mailing-list.
Packages
Package Highlights
1. As the news post said, GNOME 2.6 is out. There are a few errors
when updating. It seems that the safest way to update is to remove
GNOME (pacman -R gnome), install gconf (pacman -S gconf), then to
install the rest of gnome (pacman -S gnome).
2. Pacman 2.7.6 is out, wtih a few bugfixes. From the changelog:
1. added -print-uris option
2. fixed an http download bug (bug #667)
3. fixed a segfault related to replaces/conflicts handling

Hi,
Since you are able to send emails to internal domain i assume the application server IP address already allowed into Receive Connector.
To relay application emails to external domain you should enable Externally Secured box in the Authentication Tab of the particular Receive Connector.

I created a newsletter using pages on my IPAD3. I can see see it...the icon is till there but when I tap it to open it, I get kicked out of pages.   Tried rebooting and I can open other documents, but not this one. Any ideas?

I created a newsletter using pages on my IPAD 3. All of a sudden I can no longer open that document.   When I click on it, it throws me out of pages all together. I can open other pages documents, but not that one. It is very frustrating to be able to SEE the file, but not open it.
I rebooted and I do have icloud back-up on but am not sure how to restore an older version. I also made sure there are no updates for pages.   Until the IPAD I used a home PC which I still have but am trying to wean myself off of. I wish now I had used MS Publisher on my PC for the newsletter even though I hate it.
Please don't tell me I have lost my Newsletter and 20 hours worth of work.

Try resetting your iPad. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
I'm assuming your default is to save Pages documents to iCloud, and that you had a good WiFi connection when you closed Pages the last time you tried to save the document.

I publish a 41mb newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separa

I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Problem with iTunes and iTunes Newsletter

The current (12/21/2006) iTunes Classical music newsletter shows the King's Singers Christmas as a Free Download. However, when I click on the link, iTunes does not show anything from this recording as a free download. Not the album. Not even a single track.
What's going on here?

Stille Nacht is the free download from the King's Singers Christmas album. Click on the Music link on the main ITMS page, then look down the left side to the bottom for the Free Downloads section. You'll see the link to the free track from the King's Singers there (and of course make sure you're browsing the US iTMS). Or find the album and just look for that track.
Regards.

Newsletter Template / Page set up for print

Hi,
I'm in the process of creating a template for a newsletter, and am not sure how best to start with formating this template so it will be suitable for sending to a printers for a run of about 500 copies each time.
The newsletter will be A4 in size, and will consist of about 12 pages each issue.
Does that mean that I would create an A3 Pages document, and apply 2 pages of the newsletter to this, so it can be folded to create an A4 'book'? Can Pages deal with auto page numbers like this? Or am I pushing it too far?
Or, perhaps, should I just be creating each page on a single A4 page, and the printers will be able to produce the printed newsletter from this?
I know Pages isn't an ellaborate DTP application, but we're using it so it can be easily used by someone in our organisation.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks,
c

Number one rule of commercial printing:
Speak to your printer BEFORE you do anything.
Your printer will tell you what their requirements are.
That almost certainly is not a Pages document and usually is not imposed.
Normally these days it is a pdf file in a format acceptable to the Printer, which is not easy with Pages/OSX.
1. Pages/OSX does not produce pdfs conforming with the PDF/X standard required for commercial offset or digital printing
2. Pages does not have bleeds or crop marks. You will have to construct those in oversize sheets (add an extra 10mm all round to do this)
3. Pages does not have slugs to aid the printer in accurately positioning and controlling the printed sheets, you can add your own or find prebuilt pdfs or leave it to the Printer's imposition software to add.
4. Pages/OSX does not use spot colors if you need those, but will let you add pdf elements that contain spot colors. This will produce more than the standard 4 cmyk plates, but not less.
5. Pages/OSX reduce all transparency (other than vector) to an unacceptably low 72dpi when converting to pdf. This affects 3D graphs, shadows, reflections, Alpha Masks and bitmaps marked with less than 100% opacity or overlapping objects which have less than 100% opacity.
6. Pages does not manage either resolution or cmyk well. Although this can be overcome with a great deal of manual work, it is very easy to miss exceptions and make mistakes because Pages does not flag problems nor allow systematic use of named accurate color samples/profiles.
A great many of the problems are due to the way has Pages been written but many others are due to what Apple has done/not done with OSX. There is other low cost software such as Swift Publisher which overcomes most (but not all) of the problems either internally or countering those in OSX.
The usual tools of the trade that do deliver accurate Print ready PDFs are Adobe Indesign and Quark Xpress. Both are expensive and require knowledge and skill to achieve accurate results.
It is normal to vet a pdf file through a program like Acrobat Pro to check for errors so that you can correct them before go to the very expensive press run.
There is only one low cost easy to use software that I currently know of that truly delivers on accurate commercial printing, that is Serif PagePlus X7 and unfortunately that is not available for OSX, but you can use it on a Mac running Windows in emulation.
Peter
There is a website of a Pages user who has also written a book on how to use Pages for commercial print. Unfortunately I have had a good look at what he has written and, whilst he means well, he is that most dangerous, but popular, of advisors, one who knows a little bit more than those who know nothing. He tells the innocent user what they would like to hear, not what they need to know.

I write a newsletter...in order to add the previously saved articles to the form, I am forced to use the form as a draft in order to go back and forth. Extremely irritating and awkward. please help

The newsletter is for nurses. I save "blurbs" from articles w' the link all month long. I then pull up the form for the newsletter and (while on AOL) I used to diminish the form copy the "blurb" and enlarge the form and paste the article. Although this sounds awkward, it was relatively easy and quick. I then posted the completed Newsletter form on our website.
However, since I acquired DSL and using Firefox.....I am in a quandary. I can not do as I have previously done. I am forced to make a draft of the Newsletter, copy the ''blurb'' , pull up the draft and paste , then save the draft. Very very awkward and and can become confusing if interruptions take place. Then, send a notice BCC to segments of 10 members or more (there are about 800 members) that the newsletter is posted. What an ordeal. I finally figured out to make the roster a 2nd draft and the form letter a 1st draft. Saving each over and over. Exhausting. The Notice is monthly....

The diagram was supposed to look more like this......

How to Print 4-Pg Newsletter on 11x17 using EPSON WF7510

I am having difficulty printing a 4 page newsletter in .pdf format on the Epson Work Force 7510 printer. You would think it would be simple to print four 8.5x11 sheets 2-up on 2-sided 11x17 paper, but I am finding it impossible. I spend 2 hours on the phone with EPSON only for them to tell me it's the application's problem not theirs. So here I am....
Currently, i am able to print 2-up, 2-sided on 11x17, but the 8.5x11 pages shrink to 6.5x9 with margins on the outside rim of the 11x17, no margin between the 2 pages. I do not want the 8.5x11 to shrink, i want the documents to print actual size. My only solution now is to feed the same 11x17 sheet 4 times printing each page one-at-a-time, hoping I don't mess up on the orientation of the paper. "Cut me Mick!".
Anyone that can help, please reply. Thank you!!!

Okay. I believe I've solved the problem! (as I hear Rocky theme song playing in my head)
I clicked on Page Setup... and selected 11x17 Paper Size and Source of Paper Cassette and voila, the white margins disappeared and my 8.5x11 sheets were full size!

How do I prevent Pages from changing earlier parts of a document when I am in an 8 page newsletter. Going back to check something and items are jumbled up!

How can I stop Pages from changing parts of a document when I am progressing through an 8 page newsletter. When I go back to check something some headings have moved and been put out of context. I can't lock the individual pages of the document to prevent this happening.

The Amazon iWork '09 is a DVD in a boxed set.
Downloading is transferring something from the Internet.
I think you are talking about not having a DVD drive?
To install the DVD version, either get an external USB DVD drive, they are cheap on eBAy or borrow another computer and drag the iWork Installer onto a USB Flash Drive and install from that.

How can I have a newsletter I created in PDF appear in the body of an email I send, rather than attach it.

You cannot. (A few email programs might show it automatically; you cannot stop that either).

How do I upload a pages newsletter to my website

I am new with Pages and just created a news letter for my website. It includes a video. When I try to upload it to my website, I get an HTTP error. I have tried saving it as a word document, which not only eliminates the video, but the photos on the newsletter are all out of place. How can I upload the original Pages newsletter to my website?

If you want to use Pages then your newsletter should be exported as a PDF, then uploaded to your website for your visitors to download and view.
However PDF creation WITH embedded video from within Pages is not possible, you will just get the first frame of the video as a placeholder exported in the PDF.
To create media rich PDF's you would need Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Or as suggested before, if you want your newsletter visible online and not as a download then you are better off creating it in iWeb. If you have done most of your layout work already in Pages most objects will simply paste across to an iWeb page.

The linked text boxes are very important to my work flow. Not being able to flow text between pages has cost me a lot of valuable time in producing my newsletter. Any ideas?

In Pages 09 I was able to flow text between text boxes on the same page and to different pages but that seems to have gone away. This is one of the most useful items in Pages that I use. Now it seems to have gone away and I could find no replacement in doing my last newsletter, (which took at least 3 times as long to produce.) I am very disappointed in Pages 13 so far and look for some bright side to this software to change my opinion.

Apple has promised to bring back *some* features "within six montha." We're 4 months into the clock. They have brought back a couple of features (ability to cutomize the toolbar, for instance, and vertical ruler). But they still have a long way to go and there is no certainty that linked text boxes will be restroed. It wasn't cited in their original list of examples of what would be brought back. (Nor was mail merge, bookmarks, Applescript support, or many other items.)

Inserting a link to access a PDF in a Pages newsletter?

I am creating a newsletter and would like to include some forms and additional PDF's that the readers can access through clicking on links in the newsletter, versus adding the entire form or PDF as an additional page in the newsletter. After clicking on the link I want the PDF's to open in a new document window. I want the entire thing to be accessible offline so the PDF's would need to be included in the newsletter when it is downloaded...is this called embedding?
Can anyone tell me how to do this?

What is the simplest migration path for a Word Newsletter to InDesign?

I support an educational organization in the creation, layout, update and publication of a multi-page (between 8-15 pages) newsletter newsletter on a monthly basis.
The layout changes every month depending on content.
Updates come to me in all different formats from plain text emails to PDF files. We use graphics and pictures of all formats.
Each page is either a one or two column format, some pages contain tables and some do not.
Many pages contain graphical elements like horizontal lines to break up each article.
The newsletter is currently created, updated, converted and published with Word 2013 in Compatibility Mode in .DOC format
I would very much like to migrate this newsletter to InDesign.
How do I start?
Thank you for all comments!

How do you start? make a newsletter template with your static content, master pages and styles, then you can place or paste text from pretty much any source, and place your images. Each month you start fresh from your template. It's actually a lot easier, in my opinion, to do this kind of layout in ID than it is in Word.
