[Cooker] New Gnumeric has messed up functions

I don't see that happening any time soon My start on modifying soundwrapper hit a snag. /usr/bin/frozen-bubble is a perl script - not a binary. I don't know the Perl::SDL interface, but line 204 seems to start the block that would be perfect for detecting if esd/artsd was running and init the correct output connection. For that matter, frozen-bubble doesn't seem to allow an option to pass arts as the audio interface. TTFN, Lonnie Borntreger

The menu is useless if I have to start it from the command line to give it the correct DSL options.

[Cooker] Where did hpijs go?
I've been having problems printing to an HP Deskjet 970C using the Foomatic+hpijs drivers ever since an update to printer-drivers a couple weeks ago. I had this happen once before due to some interface change, and the solution was to remove the print queue and re-add it. However, now when I go to re-add it through the cups web interface, I only see CUPS+Gimp-Print listed, not anything with hpijs, which is what I had before. Without the hpijs I can't get double-sided printing. I have libijs0-0.34-33mdk installed.

You know, the best thing about Linux is that nobody forces you to use anything that you don't want to. In other words, not one person is forcing anybody to use or to contribute to Mandrake. If you feel that you are not getting what you need from Mandrake, then for heaven's sake please go find another distribution that can give you what you are looking for (TurboLinux, RedHat, gentoo, debian, etc., etc.). This thread started as an interesting conversation about how the Mandrake community could be made better, but now it's turned into "debian is the best, it does everything Mandrake does only better, let's all do debian" (especially from Gustavo).

When the update to libphp_common430 was installed, it moved /etc/php.ini to /etc/php.ini.rpmsave and then when php-ini was installed it installed /etc/php.ini as /etc/php.ini.rpmnew for some reason.

I CAN record using artsd, using krec. So the correct statement would be, "I can't record using artsdsp for applications not designed for arts". Which is basically what the other poster had said. My comment to you dealt with your comment that GNOME recorder and Audacity recorded for you under GNOME, so it should under KDE. Which is not true. That would be like you trying to use krec under GNOME.

How strange... That is because GNOME recorder and audacity are designed to use esd, and if you are running the GNOME desktop, that is running. krec works under KDE/artsd, but it sucks.

I'm running cooker/KDE, and I've recorded successfully using krec - but it pretty much sucks for anything other than the most simple recording. Although I can get many other non-KDE progs to playback through artsdsp, I can't get them to record in that configuration. If I need more than krec can give me, I always end up shutting down most apps, killing artsd and then using the apps "native" recording mode. I'm seriously considering getting USB audio for all my recording stuff, since I have no more PCI slots. It would be REAL nice if we could get a common "multi-open" interface across all of Linux. Of course, I believe this would work the best if done at the driver level eliminating the need for artsd, esd, jack, etc. Anything "higher" than the driver means that the apps have to be developed to that API, as opposed to the "normal" audio API so you'll never have all apps work and play together. I'm sure I'll get kicked for that point of view... TTFN, Lonnie Borntreger

I moved fonts out of that directory in steps until gnome-alsamixer started, then put the last group removed back into the directory, and it wouldn't start.

If you want the kernel headers that live under /usr/include (which used to be in the kernel-headers package), they do not come with a new kernel, they come from glibc.

OK. I'll make sure to save my session without it running. BTW, I killed imwheel and the Mozilla 1.2 scrolling issue is fixed, just as it was suggested.

Does anyone have the IR port working with a Hauppage WinTV card's IR receiver? The last time I had it working was back when I compiled my own kernel (non-devfs) and my own lirc daemons and modules.

I don't use any Gnome2 apps, and all my anti-aliasing for my Gnome1 apps is done using gdkxft, which uses xft1. So my Gnome app testing was not thorough enough.

[Cooker] More font weirdness
With latest libqt, xft2 and fontconfig some fixed width fonts appear to have a space attached to them. These same fonts look fine in non-KDE apps, so that rules out xft2, fontconfig or freetype, I would think. I attached a shot of konsole to show what I mean. Later, I will try backing out only libqt and verify if that is the cause, I just need to get some work done first before logging out of KDE... TTFN, Lonnie Borntreger <>

The evolution code that deals with IMAP namespaces has changed dramatically from 1.0 to 1.1+. The best thing would be to cd to ~/evolution/mail/imap and then delete everything under there to force evolution to recreate it's local cache correctly. -> exit evolution -> killev -> cd ~/evolution/mail/imap -> rm -rf * -> restart evolution You may have to resubscribe to folders if you use a namespace.
