[Cooker] /etc/alternatives: HOW-TO ???

2000-10-13 Thread jdrash

OK,
How do I setup things up so that symlinks in /etc/alternatives are
used?

BTW, I am really not a newbie.

[Cooker] CUPS need a logrotate file

2000-10-09 Thread jdrash

CUPS stores logs files in /var/log/cups/access_log error_log & page_log.
None of the cups packages has a logrotate.d file.  This needs to be
corrected prior to rc-final.

[Cooker] KDE "Run..." does not work but running in a terminal does

2000-10-08 Thread jdrash

OK, more stange stuff from 7.2 rc1 (no not beta 3, rc1 is newer).  When
I try to run application via KDE's "Run...", I get:"Sorry - Kdesktop 
The program name or command  cannot be found. Please
correct the command and try again"  But if I run the exact same command
in a terminal window the commnad works.

[Cooker] konqueror fails constantly

2000-10-08 Thread jdrash

I have installed 7.2 rc1 and konqueror fails everytime. If I launch it
from a console
I get:
fatal parsing error: unexpected end of file in line 1
fatal parsing error: error while parsing prolog in line 1
Parsing error

Xcrash crashing  crashRecursionCounter = 2


what gives?  I can't even find what package provides konqueror.

[Cooker] cups and samba error in Beta 3

2000-10-01 Thread jdrash

I have decided to go with cups vs. lpr  I set my printing = cups line in
my /etc/smb.conf and until I created a set of symbolic links to lpr-cups
as lpr, etc.  nothing worked.  I have my Windows boxes configured as a
HP III with postscript (I have an HP III) and when I did a print test
from my windows box I got the raw postscript.  The cups test page prints
correctly.

What am i doing wrong?

Re: [Cooker] logrotate issue: runs "forever"

I am deleting /var/log/news as I type this.  It is taking a while. I
don't even run a news server and can't recall when I last looked in this
directory. 

thx for the idea I'll see it this clears things up

[Cooker] logrotate issue: runs "forever"

2000-09-11 Thread jdrash

logrotate 3.3-8mdk (and 6mdk for that matter), run forever and never
end.  I have this set up as part of my /etc/cron.dailyRunning it
with "-d" I get the "reading" the various configs and lots of disk I/O.
logrotate is taking 94% of the CPU and 20% of memory.  I had not noticed
this until a few days ago when I had some very slow responses on the
console. I had 3 running versions of logrotate. Presumably, the last the
daily runs.

What is going on?
