printer not listed in dialog box - firefox 3

2008-06-22 Thread Bogdan Marian

Hey,

Since upgrading to Firefox 3, I cannot print anything from within 
Firefox. My printer simply doesn't get listed in the dialog box. I only 
get LPR and print to file options. I tried deleting
prefs.js file but i'm still no luck. I'm on Debian Etch - KDE, and 
firefox 3 installation is a custom one, on my home directory. The 
printer work with all the other applications.

Does anyone have any clue on this?

Thank you,

google toolbar for firefox 3

2008-06-19 Thread Bogdan Marian

Hello,

I installed Firefox 3 on a custom place on my computer. Everything is
ok. However, i would like to install Google Toolbar for it, but it says
it is not compatible. Weird, my girlfriend has Google Toolbar installed
on her Ubuntu - firefox 3. I'm on Etch/KDE. Any clues?

Thx,

Solved: google toolbar for firefox 3

2008-06-19 Thread Bogdan Marian
I just realized that because i had both iceweasel 2.0.0.8 and Firefox 3 
on my system, they were both reading the same config file, and Firefox 
was named 2.0.0.8 in there...that's why google toolbar was 
complaining...Edited it to 3.0.0 and that solved my problem.

printing with firefox 3

2008-06-16 Thread Bogdan Marian

Hello,

I'm on Debian Etch, and i have both firefox 3 rc 3 and iceweasel 
installed. Firefox is installed on a custom location...
Problem is, iceweasel recognizes system wide configurated CUPS printer, 
but Firefox does not. Firefox only lists LPR and Print to File options.

How do I configure firefox 3 to let me print on the CUPS ?

Thx,

Yes, that's possible. I'm running FX3.0rc2 right now.

As Mess-mate said, you need to compile gtk2.10 yourself. When you 
compile gtk2.10, don't let it install itself to the default locations 
in /usr/local, because that might mess things up for other programs. 
Putting gtk2.10 in /opt is good, or you can put it in an exotic place 
under /usr/local (etc. /usr/local/exotic).


If gtk2.10 is allowed to install its libraries in the default location 
of /usr/local/lib, it might confuse some programs looking for gtk2.8.


After you've gotten gtk2.10 installed, you might need to give FX a 
little hint on where it can find the latest gtk2 libraries on your 
system. Create a wrapper script that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that 
Firefox can find the correct version of gtk, e.g.


#!/bin/sh
# My wrapper script
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/exotic/lib
~/path/to/my/firefox/installation/firefox/firefox






Hello guys,

I'm not very lucky yet. I followed your links but:

this is what i get when runnin ./configure --prefix=/opt/gtk210

checking for XRRUpdateConfiguration in -lXrandr... no
checking Pango flags... configure: error:
*** Pango not found. Pango built with Cairo support is required

but i installed pango:

Any clues? I'm searching through pango's config.log now.

Greetings all

I just made the move from SuSE 10.3 to Debian Etch.

When I updated from SuSE 10.0 to 10.3 I found myself 
disgusted at how unpolished and rough it was. Things 
that worked before didn't after the update. XMMS was 
gone, I couldn't play MP3's, the online update feature 
was broken, and even Audacity (an audio editor) appears 
to have been setup so it wouldn't read in MP3 files. 
(This is how I convert the MP3 files I get a hold of to OGG's.)



Debian Etch is by far better polished than SuSE 10.3.
And as I have tried out previous Debian versions I must
say that Etch is the best version of Debian yet. Even 
with the apparent license paranoia over the Acrobat 
reader and Firefox. (Both Free mind you) Although, 
there might be more to this than I am aware of. 
(One request though. I prefer KDE and it would be nice
to have the option of which GUI I would like to use, 
as it took a bit of hoop jumping to get the system 
loaded with KDE.)

Hello,

But you DO have a choice on which GUI to install. It depends on which 
install CD or DVD you download. There is an 180MB CD  ( called netinst 
as far as i can remember ) that only offers the basic system, with no 
GUI and no Login Manager. After you get that CD installed, you are free 
to install whatever you want, assuming you have a working internet 
connection!

My answer is, move SMTP off that box.  Buy yourself an ancient PIV and
point other boxes at SMTP running there.  Bite the bullet, man.  This
can be done for under $200 + your time.

For anti-spam, it can also do Spamassassin and Clamav.  Toss in Samba

You guys are fools for running all your eggs in that one basket.  I

Yes, it is. Install the gcc-4.1 package if it is not on your system
already. Then run 


export CC=gcc-4.1

right before you try the installer again. That should allow it to
compile the module and insert it into the kernel. If there are other
difficulties post the new error messages. I think you might still be
missing the linux-headers-* package for your new kernel.

If the installer finishes without errors and nevertheless your X will
not start then we need to see the output of

egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

  

Hello,

I tried to do exactly what you are but with no luck :( ... The only 
thing i did not try was to export the gcc 4.1. That might help...

increase the level of desktop effects ( which is the lowest one right 
one ) ... Any suggestions?


Thx,
Bogdan

How to install simple-ccsm for etch?

2007-11-04 Thread Bogdan Marian

Hey,

The title says it all. Compiz fusion is running ok on my system but i 
want to customize it :). Simple-ccsm used to be in Shame's repo but it 
isn't anymore. I'm on etch as i mentioned. How do I install simple-ccsm?

Which version of the nvidia driver did you install? (We need the exact

error messages or warnings when you attempted the installation?

Change your xorg.conf to use the nvidia driver and (re)start X. After it
fails/crashes, run the following two commands and post their output:

egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

egrep -i 'nvidia|glx' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

No error while installing ( except for a warning about the version of the

I think it can cause problems if you use a different version of gcc to
compile the nvidia module (as compared to what was used to compile the
kernel).

OK, it does load the Xorg driver for nvidia (nvidia_drv.so and/or
nvidia_drv.o located in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/) but then it
cannot load the nvidia kernel module (nvidia.ko). 


First, check if the kernel module exists at all:

find /lib/modules/2.6.22-2-686/ -name nvidia.ko

(I would expect that the file exists; the nvidia installer should have
 given you a clear error if it had not been able to create the module.)

If the file exists, try to load it by running as root:

modprobe -v nvidia

(I suspect your problem is caused by the gcc version mismatch and/or the
 paravirt/GPL-only issue. I hope that the modprobe command will give you
 an error message which tells us what exactly is going on.)

  

Hello,

This is what is gives mebtw, sorry for the late answer..:

Off hand, nothing jumps out at me regards the xorg.conf file.  That 
error msg should not have crashed X, per se.  Check further down and 
see if the Nvidia card is properly identified as to to type and PCI 
address; for an AGP card usually PCI:1:0:0


Can you confirm that the nvidia drive nvidia.ko is in fact on your 
system and located in the /lib/modules section

Hey,

The title says it all :). How do i proceed if i want to upgrade from 
Etch to Sid? Of course, burning a Sid image and doing a from scratch 
install is out of the question... I'm looking for another way

You can just change all the occurances of the word
etch for sid in your /etc/apt/sources.list .
Then run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.
There must be another - more proper way - to do this
with apt-get dist-upgrade but I've never used it.
See man 8 apt-get for details.

Hey,

I did just that. However, it lists some packages that are being kept 
back...is that ok?

audio codecs

2007-10-27 Thread Bogdan Marian

Hey,

I know this is a silly question, but still, how doi install audio 
codecs?Everything i can find google-ing is instructions to install 
Automatix which i don't want. I know that libxine-extracodecs is one 
package but it is not in the repos... So do i need to add an extra repo 
or what do i have to do to be able to play music?

Do you use Ubuntu or do you use Debian?

(Even if you use Debian, you'll still have to use a repository
similar to Automatix.)

Re: audio codecs

2007-10-27 Thread Bogdan Marian

Hello again,

I got it after google-ing a little bit more. All i had to do was to 
install these 3 packages: alsa-base, alsa-utils and libesd-alsa0 and run 
the alsaconf command. I forgot to mention that i did a netinstall so 
those packages were logically not installed by default. Anyway, thanks 
for waisting your time with me :) !

1. Although I'm using the shame repo right now but it also worked with
the regular unstable repository. With KDE I think you need to install
compiz-kde if you don't have it already.

2. If you already have 4 desktop workspaces, they were getting
multiplied when compiz started. I think I made a change in the number of
desktops in the compizconfig-settings-manager ... which isn't starting
for me right now :(

Hi,

I am using Shame's repo and i installed compiz-kde but still...
The thing with the desktops used to happen in Beryl as well ( it 
happened to me but in Ubuntu though ) and i think it's a bug but i can't 
be sure of that. I worked it around by removing the Desktop Preview  
Pager from Kicker so it doesn't bother my view :)
The truth is Shame mentions somewhere on his blog that fusion-icon and 
ccsm still don't work with etch... One can use simple-ccsm though and it 
basically does the same thing as ccsm.
