Re: Debian gnome printing to pdf
Mmm... did you miss my post? :-) Chrome can use your gnome printing dialog (Ctrl+Shift+P). Ok, then. No I did not miss the post, but I also do not sit in front of this computer all day. As far as the gnome print dialog, I already know this and posted it. (read twice, post once, please) ___ Tony, yes I understand that. Just stating that the option was not available when using google chrome. I think the issue is with gnome-print. The gnome (or system) print dialog appears not just with chrome but with most other programs where printing is available. The issue remains to be where the config is located to change the default filename and directory when printing to a file. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: StarOffice 7
Thanks for the info. Just making sure that the installation was correct. It is a blank window, not an empty document. Seems like Sun would at least put some sort of logo here or provide an option to start the application with a empty default document of my choice. tony Maurits van Rees wrote: On Tue, Nov 30, 2004 at 06:12:43PM -0600, Ron Johnson wrote: On Tue, 2004-11-30 at 15:47 -0800, tjm3 wrote: Hello.

Well, it seems SO7 doesn't provide him with an empty, but with *no* document. Still, I think that's how it's meant to be. At least some former versions of StarOffice (and maybe OpenOffice) presented a sort of desktop view from which you could start the individual applications like Writer or Calc. The OpenOffice incarnation I have here (1.1.2) also seems to look the way you describe it. The application starter - or however you would call it - from KDE only has links to the separate apps (Writer, Calc, etc). When I start it manually by typing `openoffice' I get a blank screen with a menu on top saying File, Edit, etc. So your SO7 seems fine.

IFireBall. After playing with several packages, I settled on a program called gfxindex, not in the Debian distribution, to display images and thumbnails. Do a search, it's easy to find. Run gfxindex from the directory containing the images and it will create the thumbnails and the files necessary to view the images with a web browser. The web site for gfxindex will tell you what you need to run it. You can also use gtksee or gqview. -- tony [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Quiet cases
Can you recommend any good (not too expensive) quiet cases? I may build a computer soon to be my home grown PVR/DVD combo, and of course anything sitting in the living room on all the time needs to be quiet. -Rob Over the years, I have been using power supplies from PC Power and Cooling ( http://www.pcpowercooling.com ). Their Silencer line is very quiet. I have also used Enermax Whisper power supplies and these are also very quiet.

Re: How to make a DSL Internet Connectioo?
Thomas H.

The adapter is connected to a Linksys router which is connected to a DSL modem. The connections were tested with Windows 98 and there was no problem connecting to the internet. In Woody I have edited /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider to enter the user, provider and password information. ifconfig eth0 reports the device up. dmesg | grep -A 5 eth reports a negotiated connection. Still, I am unable to access the internet - i.e. apt-get update fails, in mozilla www.debian.org is unknown, etc. I know I have missed something basic, but what? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or guidance. I have a system very similar to this. I have a dedicated IP from my provider, but if you need to logon, your linksys dsl router should be configured to make the logon (pppoe configuration, I think). Once this is done, you should add the router as the default gateway to your eth0 interface and then add the DNS computer (ip) addresses your ISP gave you to your /etc/resolv.conf file. With this done, you should be able to connect to the outside. I think this is all you need, give it a try. I am a little unclear why your using the pap-secrets and dsl-provider files unless your trying to logon to the dsl connection. The router has a provision to do this for you and keep the connection up all the time. route -n ;to check that the gateway is there ;use this to add the default gateway route add default gw 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 -- tony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Cheap SCSI controller?
Hello. I currently use Tekram DC-390U2W and U3W SCSI cards with no problem. I have not used the 315, but there is a Linux driver on the Tekram site if you don't find one in the kernel sources. You can also try www.lsilogic.com and pick the 'Host Bus Adapter link' and then 'SCSI HBA'. Drivers are available in the kernel source for just about all of these adapter. They use the NCR53c8xx chips or newer variations of those. They may be a little more expensive buying from this site, but I don't think you will have any problem getting them to work.
