qt / kde with anti aliased fonts - segfaults
I was using kde3 (unofficial debs with my own compiled qt3) for a while
up until about a week ago.
then all qt3 apps started segfaulting.
I have attached a stack trace of trying to run konqueror.
from what i can tell it is to do with xlibs (libXft.so/libXt.so)
now im assuming this is a problem with xfree 4.1.0-16 (i cant find any
older 4.1.0-15 packages to test with).
i have since tried installing libqt3 (debs) but get the same problem.
i managed to replicate the problem with kde 2.2.2 which used to work
fine by turning on anti aliased fonts.

Thanx Uh, this is a pretty meaningless question. I can think of three similar questions you might mean tho: 1)Q: Can I record music from a Debian system onto a minidisc? A: Yes, of course, if you have a sound card. 2)Q: Can I use stupid shareware program X/Y/Z under Debian? A: No, why do you care? 3)Q: Can I use NetMD under Debian? A: Not as far as I know. You might try hacking it up yourself, but the format is proprietary, and Sony doesn't seem to be too friendly about opening up standards. 4)Q: Can I record music digitally from my computer? A: Yes, if you get yourself a soundcard with a digital output. Apparently the SBLive is crap in this regard, but I've not heard much about any other option. There is a Xitel(sp?) USB-TosLink adaptor (an external USB box which is setup as a normal soundcard but has an optical output), but I've no idea if it works under Linux. Also, at least in Australia, pre-recorded minidiscs are non-existent, so you'll want a minidisc player that records (AFAIK, all the Sony (portable) recorders are designated MZ-Rxxx). I've used my friends MZ-R909, and it's beautiful. Recordings sound great, it's tiny, the battery is practically immortal and it's just got that well-designed feel to it. I've heard bad things about the MZ-R505 tho, but the MZ-R707 looks good. Also, make sure you get one with MDLP(long play). With the earbuds they give you, LP2 sounds just as good as SP, but (nearly) doubles the playtime. -rob pgpY4u3Dzg1vF.pgp Description: PGP signature

Stupid pan question
Hi, Somehow I seem to have gotten my pan newsreader into a state where it doesn't display articles in the header pane in threaded mode, just in flat mode. How do I get it back to threaded mode?

Automounter problems
I have a debian woody machine on a network with various FreeBSD OpenBSD and
HP-UX machines. On all the machine I have exports files that export all of
the various filesystems to a netgroup called all.
Using the autmounter on the Debian amchine, I can cd /net/{machine_mane}
and have acess to the remote filessytesms. This works OK for the HP-UX
machines, but fails for the FreebSD machines.
For example I have a FreeBSD machine called black. It's got 3 filesystems
/, /var, and /usr. If I cd /net/black I su an empty directory for
/net/blcak/var and /net/black/usr.
If I mount blacks filesystems by hand all works OK.
What am I doing wrong? OH, BTW U have an older Debian (really Progeny) box,
and the automount of blcak works fine from there.

make is really slow!
Hi, I'm completely stumped. I recently upgraded my Debian system from a 2.2 kernel to 2.4.18, and since then it has slowed to a near-halt (on a Celeron 733). Where it's most notable is if I run make. For example, make menuconfig takes about two full minutes to bring up the dialog boxes. And then, running make dep takes a solid TWO HOURS after saving my kernel changes. And then (yeah, it gets even better) running make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image takes a whopping FOUR HOURS to finish! I could be approaching this whole thing all wrong, but I checked the version of make, and it is: shiner:~# make -v GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.

As I was getting ready to boot into the old kernel, something that Craig Dickson pointed out struck me: check the DMA settings. Well i rebooted and went into my BIOS settings. There was this weird option (with no descriptions) that said, Load Optimal Settings for fastest performance. So I chose it, then looked to see what it did. I didn't see anything blatant. BUT, I did notice that my U-DMA setting wasn't enabled. So I enabled it, booted (with my new kernel) and everything's cool. So in the end (as usual) the error was: user too close to equipment. (Boy, I'm dumb). Stupidity is not learning from your mistakes, you were just suffering from a case of ignorance. Happily ignorance can be cured (-: Look at the bright side, you learned something today you didn't know yesterday. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Problem with gdm, local and remote logins, and pam_group
(I posted this to debian-security earlier today, but debian-user might be a better place for it. Please CC: me on replies.) Haven't found a solution in any searches I've done thus far, so here's my problem: Given: - 1 workstation running gdm 2.2.5.5-2 (and pam 0.72-35), offering XDMCP access to selected other X Terminals, and also allowing gdm logins on the local console. - 1 remote X Terminal (soon to be several) which connects to the above workstation via XDMCP. The problem is that I'd like for users logging in locally via gdm to be added to the various audio, floppy, etc. groups so that they have access to the normal sound and removable media devices on the workstation. However, I'd like for users logging in remotely via gdm (the X Terminal users) to *not* get any special access to the hardware. Here's my line from /etc/security/group.conf: gdm; :*; *; Al-2400; audio,floppy,video,cdrom I have verified that a remote login gets tty set to 'remoteterm:0', for example, and a local login gets tty set to ':0'. I'd have thought that the ':*' would match ':0', but not 'remoteterm:0', but it apparently matches both according to the pam debug log. If at all possible, I'd really rather not install xdm for remote logins, and gdm for local. -- Mike Renfro / RD Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mike Renfro / RD Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

RealPlayer does nothing at all
Hi. Last night I tried to install the realplayer using the 'realplayer' package in unstable. As instructed by the package help, I downloaded the 'RealPlayer 8 Basic' RPM from real.com, and let the package install it. (It did this with no complaints.) I then tried to run it from the command line like this: $ realplay The cpu and disk worked for a while, and then the shell prompt returned. Further attempts to run 'realplay' or 'realplayer' at the prompt returned immediately without noticeable effect. I un-installed the package (with apt-get remove --purge), and reinstalled. I then tried running 'realplay' while monitoring the system with 'top' in another window. The first time I ran 'realplay' I saw several window manager processes rise to the top of the CPU usage stack (fvwm, fluxbox, etc.), and then nothing. Further invocations of realplay had no discernible effect. Has anyone seen results like this before? I am running on a Debian/unstable system under Gnome 1.4 with sawfish as the window manager. I do have ESD installed, but turning it off didn't seem to make any difference. Thanx. Dan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
