Mplayer help
Looking for some help. I've installed mplayer from the .debs available at deb http://mplayer.nmeos.net stable/ deb http://marillat.free.fr/ stable main and it seems to work ok (a few errors on startup about missing fonts and all, but I can live with that for now). I would like to be able to view realmedia files via mplayer as well. I obtained the RealVideo for Linux from RealMedia, and tried installed the libraries that came with it. I copied all the library files in the "Codecs" directory from the RealVideo install into /usr/local/lib, added /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf, and ran ldconfig. However, mplayer still cannot play realvideo files. Does anyone know if there is something else I need to install/configure for this to work? Is the version available from the above source NOT compiled to support realmedia files, and so I should uninstall and compile one for myself?

PCMCIA Help
Hi, I already lost too much time trying to get PCMCIA work on my laptop (Samsung MV7000, potato, kernel 2.2.19, corega FEther PCC-TXF). The card works under Win98. When I put in the card I get one deep beep, removing it one high beep. The card is recognized and the modules seem to be loaded alright. But ifconfig doesn't show eth0 and consequently a ping results in "network is unreachable". The network information (ip-address, network, netmask, gateway, broadcast) in network.conf is most certainly correct. (But see below under 6.) Trying to run the network script by hand invariably gives: /etc/pcmcia/network start eth0 usage: /etc/pcmcia/network [action] [device name] actions: start check stop suspend resume Follows all the info I could get. (1. system log, 2. cardctl status, 3. cardctl config, 4. cardctl ident, 5. test_setup, 6. test_network, 7. dump_pirq 1) In the system log I have: Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.22 Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: kernel build: 2.2.19 #1 Wed Mar 20 19:41:41 EST 2002 Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [apm] Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: PCI routing table version 1.0 at 0xfdf60 Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: 00:08.1 -> irq 5 Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: Intel PCIC probe: Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: Ricoh RL5C478 rev 80 PCI-to-CardBus at slot 00:08, mem 0x6800 Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: host opts [0]: [serial irq] [io 3/6/1] [mem 3/6/1] [pci irq 11] [lat 168/176] [bus 32/34] Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: host opts [1]: [serial irq] [io 3/6/1] [mem 3/6/1] [pci irq 5] [lat 168/176] [bus 35/37] Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: ISA irqs (default) = 3,4,7,9,10,12,15 PCI status changes Oct 13 19:49:44 debi kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: excluding 0xcf8-0xcff Oct 13 19:49:44 debi kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0800-0x08ff: clean.

My problem is that I don't know what that standard location should be, and that's what I am looking for help with. I tried copying the realplayer libraries (obtained as suggested in the docs from RealMedia) to /usr/local/lib, adding said dir to /etc/ld.so.conf, and running ldconfig, but that didn't cause mplayer to be able to recognize .rm video files. I'm wondering what other location I should be trying. Thanks. N -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Are you saying that you recompiled mplayer but the realplayer libraries weren't found during configuration, or are you saying that you added the realplayer libraries and the pre-compiled mplayer binary doesn't recognize .rm files? mplayer doesn't know the libraries are available unless it first found the libraries during the configuration/compilation process. -- .~. /V\ Lance Simmons /( )\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^^-^^ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

VPN beginner -- help!
I had a working 2.1 system with vpn, blah blah blah... The system's hard drive died. So I dounloaded 2.2R7 and installed it. Now I'm trying to get VPN to work, and I'm horrifically confused by all the documentation out there without simple instructions. What we have: a linux box doing masquerading. A win2k computer in our house (behind masq) trying to connect to the workplace. many sets of documentation indicate that support for this was added to the kernel, and I shouldn't need to do any patching, etc. Is this true? Am I missing the correct modules to add? Or do I need to recompile the kernel? Or even patch it? I'd like to do this with as little effort as possible-- I know that I had a horribly messy system previously because of my lack of knowledge on the proper process of compiling/installing kernel (when modules were added, I got lost.) And I'd like to avoid that happening again. So, basically I'm pleading ignorance, and hoping to find some simpler documentation that is directly applicable to a newly installed 2.2r7 debian system is available somewhere.

Printing problems....help???
Hi, Firstly, does anyone know if the digest of this list is active? I subscribed to it, got the confirmation etc but I never receive any messages.. Anyway, I have a problem with printing from my system. I've tried using magicfilter, apsfilter (didn't like this because all I could do was print test pages, I couldn't print from any applications) and now printtool (i know i know, but I'm desperate!!) and I get the same problem every time: the first time I set the printer up, I can print to it fine, but as soon as I reboot the machine the printer stops working. This last time I've set up the printer using printtool but now that I've rebooted, its dead again. Nothing even goes into the printer queue. lpd is up and running and I can't really find anything wrong - so what am I missing??? I'm using woody 2.4.18bf2.4 and an Epson 750. I'm using a generic Stylus Colour driveranybody help?? cheers Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mutt help, please
Although I have RTFM and looked at example .muttrc's, I am obviously missing something since I can't get Mutt to send mail outside my system. I am using woody, and as you can see from this mailing, I can send mail from Balsa, no problem. When I fetchmail, if comes in OK, and of course I can read it in Mutt. I can send a mail to myself locally, and the from header looks OK, and of course it is immediately there for Mutt to read. When I try to send a mail through my ISP, the mail seems to go somewhere, but never shows up when I fetch the e-mail from my ISP. Also, when I look in the mailq it is empty, and when I check /var/spool/exim/input it is empty as well. So it would seem that Mutt is putting something in a header that causes my sent mail to get rejected by my ISP, and it gets thrown away. Any suggestions, hints, or pointers to more reading would be appreciated. TIA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mutt reply_regexp help
mutt guru's, I'm on a number of internal distribution lists where I work and they are all terrible for format and netiquette, but one goes so far as to add a bunch of stuff to the subject line which messes up my threading.

I think this is the reason threading is messed up because on the few posts that come in using "Re:" threading works. So, I need help putting together a reply_regexp line that will recognize this.

xdm config help
I'm trying to set up xdm. Whenever I boot the last message I see before the login prompt is: Not starting X Display Manager (xdm); it is not the default display manager. I get the same message when I try to launch it manually as root. I'm been cruising the docs & all the likely files, but don't see how to set this. I looked in /etc/alternatives, nothing named 'display manager'. I looked at the conf files in /etc/X11, but there's nothing glaringly wrong. There is a file named "default-display-manager' in /etc/X11, and it's contents are '/usr/bin/xdm'. Any tips on this issue? Last step was to apt-get update to version 4.2.1.

Help with patching kernel??
Hi, Thanks to everyone who helped with the soundcard query - got that sorted now and no, I won't any of those nasty mp3s with it ;o))) Maybe I'm being a bit ambitious for day twp, but I'm having some trouble following the guides etc to rebuild my kernel with some patches. I need to add support for Win4Lin, which requires two patches be applied. I've got instructions and I've read the manuals and the user guidebut...things don't quite tally and I'm scared ;o) I've been told I can do it the standard way with the patch tools etc (like I do with redhat systems) but I want to get to grips with using dpkg and kpkg if I canit looks a lot easier once you understand it... Anyway, the problems that are confusing me are: 1. There's no /usr/src/linux directory. But I think thats normal because I've got a /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18 directory with the kernel source tree underneath it 2. There's no .config file that I can find with my current kernel configuration - I don't want to do this from scratch if I can help it So I've got the source tree. I've got the source tree for the nVidia drivers and the two patches I need to apply. I've got instructions for applying the two patches I need. If I have the .config file, I think I can install those patches and then do: make xconfig make -kpkg clean make -kpkg kernel_image modules_image dpkg -i kernel_image modules_image to build and install the kernel??? But like I said, I'm confused...(and scared!!! lol) As a newbie to Debian, should I just use the standard patch method until I'm more comfortable with the new stuff, or is it quite easy to get into it and do it the 'right' way?? many thanks Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Canon S450 setup -HELP
Help!
I am, a Debian newbie -just moved from SuSE, almost desperately
configuring my printer. Tried with apsfilter, turboprint, magicfilter,
cups and printtool. My printer is Canon S450 under woody
The flwgs are documented during configuring with printtool:
- chosen (BJC 6000)
- lpd is restarted
- print test
- indicator light of the printer does not blink at all
(i suspect, there must be something wrong here, usb (?) permission
(?) ) I hv tried to use/dev/lp0, /dev/lp1 and /dev/usblp0 as address
of printer device. These did not change the situation.
Error message:
"Error printing test page to queue lp2. Error reason: lpr: connect:No

help with user quotas
Howdy folks, I'm setting up a Deb woody server and want quota support on /home just in case we need to get serious. I have quota support in the kernel and the following in /etc/fstab: /dev/sda6 /home ext3defaults,data=journal,usrquota 0 2 I run #quotacheck -c /home and get this: -rw---1 root staff7168 Aug 28 12:11 aquota.user in /home. However, when I run: #quotaon /home I get this: quotaon: using /home/quota.user on /dev/sda6 [/home]: Invalid argument quotaon: Maybe create new quota files with quotacheck(8)? hmmm. ??? at first I thought it was due to quotaon not wanting to use version2 quota files, so I had quotacheck create one of those (quota.user) and i got the exact same message. I can't believe I can't get something this simple to work. any ideas? ext3 is mounted data=journal, could that be it? thanks, Dave -- *** David Wilk System Administrator Community Internet Access, Inc.

Re: SAMBA Help Needed
Only thing I can think of is that you are trying to mount ntfs partition and you don't have it in your kernel or you dont have the smbfs filesystem loaded in your kernel. But that mount 6 error is odd. If you have X installed try apt-get LinNeighborhood its a nice gui to mount network shares and see if you have any luck with that, sorry I couldn't be of more use.

Depends on the kernel version you are using. It's been quite a while since I used a 2.2.x kernel, but I seem to recall that ipchains _did_ need a pptp module loaded to support MS PPTP based VPNs. The 2.4.x kernels on the other hand do _not_ need a module. For the 2.4.x kernels, I believe your easiest route is to upgrade to Debian 3.0 (woody) and install one of the provided kernel-images. -- Jamin W.

As a test, try to load each of these modules with "modprobe" and check if your printer works after loading them. If it "fixes" the problem, I would advise adding them to /etc/modules with any old text editor. I have had spotty luck using modconf here. Sometimes it works fine, other times it doesn't seem to insert the proper modules. I run the 2.4.18 kernel here with a mix of "testing" and "unstable' packages, and I think my problem is probably in the "mix" that I have. Dunno about your setup, but you might be seeing the same things. I have found the above steps seem to be the most reliable way to get the proper modules loaded for me...

Sounds like you might have multiple layers of "problems". If you do a "lsmod" command now and you see these modules loaded, then at least you probably have eliminated one of the possible causes. The next step is to concentrate on your software & config. I can't be of much help in that. I use CUPS here, after many frustrating years of struggling with other print systems with mixed results. FWIW, I never got "printtool" to work for me under Debian. It would configure something, but nothing ever came out of my printer :( If you want to give CUPS a try, holler & I will happily share what I know...

Re: Printing problems....help???
I agree the list is active - subscribed to the normal 'user' list I get hundreds of messages a day. However, the digest version sends me nothing. I got the confirmation email saying I was subscribed, and resubscribing has no effect. Matt On 09/09/2002 08:02 PM, David Teague wrote: > Matthew, > > This list is indeed active.

Map Keys ???? pls help
Hi ppl, I am having a problem migrating from SecureCRT to a standard unix term. I need to be able to map keys like i do in securecrt. For example i have a macro where i spawn 5 shells on different places. I have it bound to F1 for example. In SecureCRT i have the following KEY MAP for doing that task. screen -s /bin/bash\n sshshell1\n\001c sshshell2\n\001c sshshell3\n\001c sshshell3\n\001c sshshell4\n\001c Then i want to be able to do ls -la on all my 4 screen sessions. I do \001n for the next screen sessions and execute ls -la and hit return with \r and then next and next \001n ls -la \r \001n ls -la \r \001n ls -la \r \001n ls -la \r \001n ls -la \r Then i want to use the clipboard content (\v will paste it in securecrt) and here i will for instance create the dir in clipboard on all 4 remote machines. \001n mkdir \v\r \001n mkdir \v\r \001n mkdir \v\r \001n mkdir \v\r \001n mkdir \v\r Last i want to be able to map for example 0 on the numeric keyboard to screen session number 0. \0010\r Does anyone out there know how to solve my problem, normally i use Eterm but i want to be able to use these mapped keys on only 1 Xterm/Eterm or whatever, and not bind the keys in Operating System Level/WindowManager/Term level. i.e i want to start 1 term program that will have these keys bound and the keys should only work on that term program. Is there any possibility to do this in Linux ?? Help Apreciated /Jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

help with fonts / openoffice
Hi, Can anyone recommend a good how-to on fonts under Debian? I'm having some trouble understanding how fonts work... Here's my basic problem: for the most part, I'm not really that concerned about fonts -- I'm not a graphic designer and I often don't even really notice what fonts I'm looking at. As far as I can tell (and I haven't looked into it closely) both Opera and Mozilla, as well as most other X applications, display most fonts I come into contact with. But I've recently made the switch over to OpenOffice, and in OO I have real problems. I have a pretty large body of work whch I wrote in M$ word before I saw the light and switched. A lot of it I have to access pretty regularly (my lecture notes, which I revise every year, and a bunch of articles and a book manuscript which are in preparation. When I open them in OpenOffice, almost all of the non-standard characters are prepresented as ?'s -- that goes for "smart" quotes, m- and n-dashes, etc. Now, I understand I shouldn't have used those characters in the first place, but I did, and so now I'm stuck. So, I guess I have to install some new fonts, most probably a bunch of true type fonts, and modify the fontpath somehow. Now I tried using the msttcorefonts package, but it gives an error: msttcorefonts 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 46 not upgraded. Need to get 13.0kB of archives.

Need help with Bind
Hi everyone, I have been pulling hair on this one. I got bind set up, nslookup resolves all domains and records just fine, but when trying to register my domains to my server, I get error messages from the domain registrars that my dns server is invalid or something.. Another problem is that when I search the nsiregestry or opensrs regestries for my dns server it shows nothing. I have heard and read that you need to register your server with these regestries to allow a domain name change to a new dns server, but how is this done, for I have searched up and down verio.net tucows opensrs, nsiregestry.net, plus a few others, and have found no ways of entering my new dns server. A link to this would be great, it seems I wouldn't be the only one with these troubles. Thanks -du -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Samba 'security=domain' help
Hello. I'm trying to put my user directories from an nt network(domain) on a Debian box with Samba 2.0.7 and soon to have quota support. I would like the domain server to supply the password support and I have the 'security', 'password server' and 'encrypt passwords' variables set. The daemons have been restarted, but it seems the passwords still have to be the same on both servers. Does the smbpasswd file need to be removed for this to work properly or is there something else I'm missing? thanks, -- tony mollica [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

My first guess is that you didn't set up your MTA correctly. I don't use Exim, but I'd expect some question about local systems/domains and a smart host or relay host.

I run xdm, and for me it says: /usr/bin/X11/xdm As far as I can see, the xdm's init script does a string comparison, so the exact path would matter. As for how things got that way, I don't know.

I feel silly. Even worse, all the info you'd ever need to figure this out is right at the top of the /etc/init.d/xdm script. Still, I did do the following: - read the man pages, no mention of "default display manager" in any context. - reinstall (apt-get install --reinstall) - remove and then intstall (apt-get remove --purge, apt-get install) (the xdm package & scripts don't touch or verify the default-display-manager file) It doesn't feel right that reinstallation doesn't detect or fix the issue. IMO, the best solution would be to modify the /etc/init.d/xdm script. Even if it's set to respect the default-display-manager file, it could check that the current default display manager exists before deciding not to launch. Current 'start' block is: case "$1" in start) if [ -e $DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE ] && \ [ "$HEED_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER" = "true" ] && \ [ "$(cat $DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE)" != "$DAEMON" ]; then echo "Not starting X display manager (xdm); it is not the default display manager." else echo -n "Starting X display manager: xdm" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet $SSD_ARGS || echo -n " already running" echo "." fi ;; It would be easy to add the test [ "$(which $(cat $DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE))" = \ "$(cat $DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE)" ] If the test fails, display a warning message echo "The default display manager, $(cat \ $DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE), doesn't appear to be present. \ Please enter the desired path (e.g., $DAEMON) in \ $DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE." and run xdm anyway.

That bit of code is present in in /etc/init.d/gdm too - and I would not be surprised to find it in other display managers.

I assume you have installed the stock kernel-image deb. So you will need to use an initrd image Add the module needed for you root file system to /etc/mkinitrd/modules. If you are using ext3, put "jbd" on the line above "ext3".

Re: Re: Help with hdparm
For every one who is interested here is 2 posts about HDPARM, the second one is from the Developer of this utility, Mark Lord. [»] Do NOT enable -W1! DO USE -W0 instead! by MA - May 29th 2002 08:47:05 The -W1 switch enables the write cache of a hard disk and will cause severe file system corruption in face of a power outage that occurs while a write operation is in progress. Journalling file systems (reiserfs, ext3fs, xfs, jfs, you name it) cannot help about this either, but may instead hide the actual problem. These file systems rely on their write operations being performed in order. However, most IDE drives ship with write caches enabled to cheat benchmarks, at the expense of data safety. Use hdparm -W0 on all your drives to turn the write cache off. If your drive supports tagged command queueing, it will help write performance as soon as support for this feature gets into your kernel. Tagged Command Queueing makes the write cache safe. Write barrier support patches are also circulating and may help safety, but before these are in you kernel, enabling the write cache or leaving it enabled without using tagged command queueing is UNSAFE. You have been warned. [»] Re: Do NOT enable -W1! DO USE -W0 instead! by Mark Lord - May 29th 2002 09:09:28 There is small (VERY SMALL) potential for losing a disk write on sudden powerfail with the drive caching enabled. But this is so small as to be insignificant for nearly all of us, and enabling the write cache does FAR MORE than just "cheat benchmarks" -- it really does improve system response and throughput quite noticeably. I use -W1 continuously during kernel development, with extremely frequent crashes and have never, ever, lost even a sector of data. So while the possibility exists, say about the same as contracting a flesh-eating disease, in reality -W1 is safe for the rest of us, and really speeds up the system. The poster above is more than welcome (hey, even encouraged!) to stick with the slow -W0 lifestyle. But life is too short for me to wait that much for my computer.

Qt and system - help needed
Hi, I sent previous post "Qt problem" about my problems with compiling programs - KGamma and Krusader (I am running testing/unstable and KDE 3.0.3). I have qt (and qt-mt) libraries 3.0.5. installed (libqt-mt.so.3.0.5 is in /usr/lib) and I have all dev libraries. I had post with the autor of KGamma, because of this error in ./configure: checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.3) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation! For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log. Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support. His result is that I must have problem with my system configuration.

Both, in fact, if you have to touch /etc/mkinitrd at all, it either means
that you've got a very esoteric setup (e.g., NFS root), or that there is
a bug in initrd-tools

Problem with sound card.........help?
Hi, This is my first day using Debian and I've got everything installed and working and I've even found a load of the configuration stuff, but the one thing I can't fix is my soundcard. This is my system: Debian Woody with 2.4.18bf2.4 kernel Soundblaster Live! soundcard Running Gnome on top of Enlightenment Neither the Gnome sound server nor the Esound daemon are able to connect to the sound device. Errors say that /dev/dsp is inaccessible: permission denied. The permissions on /dev/dsp are fine: crw-rw root audio /dev/dsp I did try changing that to: crw-rw-rw- root audio /dev/dsp just in case, but that didn't have any effect. I've tried both the sb and sb_lib modules - the sb module gave an error when I tried loading, but the sb_lib was reported as successful. modprobe -l shows all the sound modules loaded anyway. pnpdump doesn't seem to be on the system to try that methodapt doesn't want to install it either - says it can't find itbut there must somewhere be a little config program, like etherconf, that will allow me to set it up manually if it can't detect it... So what am I doing wrong? Or more to the point, what have I missed when I set this up? Its got to be something pretty minor that I've forgotten along the way...I've got far too used to RedHat doing it all for me!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated - I promise to return the favour one day when I know how to work things properly ;o) Thanks in advance, Matt Claridge Linux Systems Administrator & Debian newbie. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

When you do 'make-kpkg kernel-image', you'll probably need to run it with the 'fakeroot' command, and provide a --revision, like so: make-kpkg clean fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=custom.1 kernel-image fakeroot make-kpkg modules-image Also, 'make-kpkg modules-image' doesn't do anything unless you have module source packages (e.g. lm-sensors, ALSA, openafs, ...) installed under /usr/src/modules (or $MODULE_LOC). It's safe to skip this step if you don't need to run it; 'make-kpkg kernel-image' will build the modules you've selected in the main kernel configuration. > dpkg -i kernel_image modules_image > > to build and install the kernel???

IMHO building kernels with make-kpkg is easier (and saner) than using the instructions that come with the kernel. One big advantage: if you screw it up and really really want the new kernel off of the system, you can just 'dpkg --remove' it. (And similarly, if you're building up a nice collection of a half-dozen old kernels you never use, it's easy to get rid of them.) If you do want to install kernel modules distributed in other Debian packages, make-kpkg is the best-supported way to do this. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.

XFree and Matrox G550 -- HELP!
HELP!! This newbie is having major problems getting XFree86 to run. The problem: my video card is the Matrox G550, and Debian 3.0 installs XFree86 version 4.1.0.1, which does not support it. And every driver I've tried, including the generic VGA, gives me a "No screens found" error when I try 'startx'. Matrox provides Linux drivers, but when I use their install.sh, it returns a message that it does not support the version of XFree I have, although the documentation indicates that it does support 4.1.0. XFree 4.2 does support the G550, but when I download the .debs, dselect tells me there are dependencies that I can't seem to clear, even when I add the specific lib files listed. Of course, when I do, then just about all of the gnome specific packages complain, because libc6-2.2.5.11 (which they like) is being replaced with libc6-2.2.5.14 (which they don't, but which XFree 4.2 wants). I have re-installed several times, including re-initializing, and nothing seems to work. I am baffled and _very_ frustrated. I am planning to run dual-head when I get this working. I _don't_ want to use a distro other than Debian, although I may be forced to, if I can't solve this. The other hardware: AMD Athlon 1900+, Soyo Dragon Plus m/b, 1.5GB RAM, 20GB h/d partition (system is multi-boot) + 128MB swap partition. The G550 works great with Windoze, so the hardware is functional. I just don't want that o/s around any more than I absolutely have to. Please reply to n7fzatarrldotnet.

Hi Dave, I too have recently been having quota related nightmares with Woody.

Help needed setting up CDRW
Apologies if this is a duplicate, Postmaster sent me a message this morning that this did not go through and I could not find it in the archives. This boils down to two problems: if a module is missing, where can I get it? I did a Google search and there are a zillion references to the missing modules but no mention of where they can be found. And Second, what is the procedure for editing /etc/modules.conf using the new modutls tool? Here is the previous message...and, again thanks for many suggested avenues of inquiry.

Which is also a solution, you could also used mailquota with your mda (mail delivery agent) to restrict the Maildirs If you use qmail for this, you can specify that in /var/qmail/control/ see also www.lifewithqmail.com for exim and courier I don't know With kind regards, Wim Fournier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: help with fonts / openoffice
Matt, You are facing 3 problems: 1. M$ quit offering the "corefonts" on their typography site a few weeks ago, hence the "404" error. These fonts are still available elsewhere, but the Woody msttcorefonts package still points towards the M$ site for automatic download. The solution is to grab the msttcorefonts package from eithe "testing" or "unstable" and use that. It has a corrected d/l site. 2. Getting the TrueType fonts recognized by your system. This is beyond the scope of what I can do in a short message, but scanning this list or going to the HOWTO at the Linux Documentation Project will get you started. You don't absolutely HAVE to do this to get to your end-point, but it will make these fonts available to the rest of your apps as well as OO. There is also some good info in your KDE install about "anti-aliasing HOWTO" in /usr/doc/, but this seems a bit dated on my install 3. Getting OO to recognize these new fonts. The solution here is to do #1, then fire up OO as root and select the pPrinter Administration function. Along the bottom you will see a button labled "Fonts". This will bring up a screen where you can add system fonts. You will have to "browse" the system to find where they are stored, but /usr/share/fonts/ is a good place to start. My experience had been that you will only be able to install type1 and truetype fonts. You might also want to look in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. Experiment...
