I found another nice new tool for blogging – especially when I am off-line.
Drivel is a really cool client for working with your blog – it supports the online hosted stuff like blogger as well as self-hosted sites like MovableType or WordPress.
I installed Drivel from the Fedora Core 3 RPM (runs just perfectly on NLD) – just make sure you have an updated libcurl on your system. You may need to do some jigging around with symlinks in /usr/lib if you find badly behaved/packaged applications.

I had an interesting situation today where my NetApplet icon just disappeared. I hunted around the gconf panel settings – but no luck.
One quick mail to Guy and the answer came back:
Netapplet is a ‘systray’ application. I suppose you are missing the “Notification Area” applet in your of your panels for Netapplet to show up on your desktop.
If you have not already, simply add a new panel at the top of your desktop. Right-click on the panel “Add to panel > Utility > Notification Area”. Once there, you may need to restart netapplet to get it to show up there.
Working just great now – and shared so others may have a googleable fix.

I’ve been asked about ZLM cache licenses.
These are enabled in two places – in the base server.key license file; also with activation licenses for the caches.
First step is to check your server.key enables cache support
The server.key must have a line:
< caches > some number < /caches >
If the server.key does not have this line you will need a new server.key. Get this from Novell.

This is in my bookmarks from around the time we acquired Ximian (late 2003) – it’s still funny. ::uberGeek::Toons::Switch to Linux()

I posted a lot of the previously internal ZENworks Linux Management/Red Carpet Enterprise configuration documentation. I dated it for December 2004 – which was when I posted it internally at Novell. Some day I must go back and clean up the formatting – it’s a raw cut and paste from the ZENworks internal wiki.

I was hunting around for some information on Mono dependancies when I found this article by Kevin Shockey:
Installing Mono on SuSE Linux with Red Carpet
Interesting – but one subtle flaw. The ZLM client components – also known as Red Carpet – are available online and they are open source – source hosted at cvs.gnome.org.
I mailed Kevin:
Kevin
I’ve just read your article from the end of last year – http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/6123 – and I thought it was particularly interesting.
One thing to note – did you know that the ZENworks Linux Management client components – also known as Red Carpet – are 100% open source and available without downloading ZENworks Linux Management?
We have the RPMs for many platforms at ftp://ftp.ximian.com/pub/redcarpet2 – certainly fast and easy.
Also we have the public Red Carpet server http://red-carpet.ximian.com which provides community updates – including those for Mono.
Finally we have another open source project – Open Carpet – which lets developers host their updates to be consumed by the Red Carpet/ZLM client components – http://opencarpet.org
Let me know if I can be of any further help – and please feel free to reference this data in the future.

Let’s see if this gets a response. I’m keen to evangelise the benefits of OpenCarpet for developers and hacker teams.
