AA fonts and all

My question is...is this a solution for other's still having AA crashes? And the other question is...can someone tell me what's wrong.

Help: UNIX Man pages in KDE Help
Hello, How do I generate search index (in KDE help) for UNIX man pages. I have unstable debian, with htdig installed. When I press the button update index in KDE help, the scope section has man pages and info pages grayed out. I don't know if this functionality is implemented or not but the Generate index seems doesn't search for man pages. Can somebody help ? Also, I get a daily error from cron deamon: /etc/cron.daily/htdig: PDF::parse: cannot find pdf parser /usr/local/bin/acroread What's wrong ? Thanks, Toan
Konqueror 2.1.0.1 doesn't like the Apple Store

At a loss with kppp
After having used kde 2.01 on a redhat box for a year or so, I've installed the latest release of kde 2.1 stable for debian potato on my new PC and go on using kmail as my favourite mail reader. Unfortunately, kppp doesn't run correctly both as a user and as root. After dialing the phone number, it connects giving info about the connection but immediately stop declaring pppd died unexpectedly - exit status 1 (I had a look at man pppd but this is an extremely generic error) . Neither is /var/log/messages more helpful: it says : terminating on signal 15. I had a go at chmod u+s /usr/bin/kppp and at giving all the users the same dip group. No success. Could you please help me with it? Ciao Vittorio
problem with qt
Hello, I've always compiled qt and kde myself until I started using Debian and Ivan's kde packages. Trying to enable AA on my potato box, I again compiled qt. I used this configure command: ./configure -release -sm -gif -system-zlib -system-libmng -system-jpeg -no-opengl -xft The compilation succeeds, but starting kde applications results in this error message: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/local/lib/qt-2.3.0/lib/libqt.so.2: undefined symbol: XRenderFindVisualFormat I apologize if this is offtopic, but I hope someone knows how to solve this. Thanks, Iwan.

kppp and pon (provider)
I am on the verge of having a working system. the last kde piece bombed. I got kppp and installed it. I went to configure it and it would dial but not make a conection with my ISP. I figured I would go back to pon (provider) but now that does the same thing. My ISP is a black belt doshead. I cant get the log in script from them and now the only way I can dial in is via windows. This is not ideal Ideas? linux is like a teepee no windows no gates apache inside

Re: AA fonts and all
I had the same problem and I believe is again the libfreetype6 package. The last version seems to work only with truetype fonts but not with Type1 fonts. The woody version works with both.

I cant get the log in script from them and now the only way I can dial in is via windows. This is not ideal Ideas? I have a very similar problem. I can connect to some machines of my ISP but not to all of them. With those that fail, both kppp and pon dial and negotiate with the ISP server but when my machine sends my password the ISP server does not authenticate myself. It just does not acknowledge, and pppd waits and waits. If kppp is running it is killed after 1 minute with signal 15. This happens using PAP and CHAP. Now, I do not think this is kppp problem, since I have a second free ISP with which I can connect, and some non-local machines of my main ISP DO work with both kppp and pon. I would say that the ISP servers have had some kind of update which makes impossible to fullfill the negotiation with a linux machine. IMHO this may be an issue for pppd. I have a friend in Telefonica (the main spanish phone company) and he says they use 2 kind of machines for servers: 3COM and Lucent. He suspects this comes from 3COM machines. He has also told me they have found some kind of incompatibilty between CHAP for Windows and Linux. A Linux server with CHAP does not understand CHAP from new Windows machines. Pablo de Vicente.

Could you please help me with it? Try to use 'pon' and 'poff', to check if the problem comes from kppp or pppd. pon connects you to your ISP and poff disconnects you from your provider. 'pppconfig' will help you to configure your PPP ISP connection. You may have a look at /var/log/ppp.log for debugging purposes. All those programs come from package ppp. Pablo de Vicente.
