Re: [expert] Rescue flop for Reiserfs ?
* Stardate: 2001-07-06 12:16 * Incoming subspace signal from Adams, Jamie [EMAIL PROTECTED] : I have also had problems with Reiserfs, i had random missing files as you said below, and also kept getting messages in the console re 'seek error on hda' or something similar. I quickly formatted and went back to ext2, and i havnt seen those horrible messages again (phew). Well, i'm back to ext2 also. An added advantage: I can mount my linux partitions from Windoze 95. Linux still does not print graphics very well, and audio editing is a nightmare !

Re: [expert] FONTS im getting tired of this
OK i found a way to fix it actually i uninstalled abisuite but it might be enough to comment out the line leading to abiword fonts from /etc/X11/fs/config # /usr/share/abisuite/AbiSuite/fonts, just put a # in front of it i dont know if abisuite will work without those fonts but its worth a try, actually abiword should use different fonts too if you just comment this line. If abiword doesnt work anymore after that, uninstall it and use openoffice instead its much more professional and i think it handles MSWord files nicer (not perfect though but its still beta and getting better all the time ) Cheers On Saturday 07 July 2001 11:49, Maxim Heijndijk wrote: * Stardate: 2001-07-07 00:44 * Incoming subspace signal from [EMAIL PROTECTED] : On Sat, 7 Jul 2001 00:12:48 +0200 Oscar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok, it's my experience, but I had problems with fonts until in /etc/X11/fs/config I changed the line: /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1, to this: /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1:unscaled, (And I don't have installed abisuite).

Re: [expert] FONTS im getting tired of this
Thanks Óscar. Following the suggestions of others, I had already set a couple of other font types to unscaled - without much luck. This one seems to have done the trick!

Also in kmail and other kde apps nothing to complain . Only konqueror messes them up i dont understand that, i followed all instructions to fix that and in konqueror webbrowser i use the same font as anywhere else helvetica and minimum font size 12 and as soon as i go to a webpage ie: http://neworder.box.sk the fonts look messed up almost anarectik. how is that possible if i have all fonts set to the same as in all other apps?

[expert] damn kernel build nonsense
I have lilo. It works. It resides in /sbin just like it should. I downloaded and built kernel-2.4.5 from cooker. It built just fine but then craps out when it comes time to install it (via make install) giving me: Cannot find a boot loader, you may have to see why detectloader has problems or specify via the command line. + exit make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/arch/i386/boot' make: *** [install] Error 2 Cannot find a bootloader?! @#%$! It's where it ALWAYS is and it works just fine. I can run lilo and get it to properly install/update lilo in the MBR. I ran into this same damn thing trying to build kernel-2.4.6, which prompted me to try the mandrake src.rpm for 2.4.6 (I built the 2.4.6 tarball) because I figured the mandrake kernel source would be setup to build properly on a mandrake system like mine. Suddenly, kernel builds are failing on me because it can't find /sbin/lilo. What is this and how do I make it go away?

[expert] Why does kdeinit proccess continue to run after I logout of KDE?
I generally use test-based console as default login. Sometimes I start KDE (via startx command). After I log out of KDE, ps aux shows (edited): fatty 1276 0.0 6.1 19936 7804 ? S 18:14 0:00 kdeinit: dcopserv fatty 1280 0.0 6.5 19896 8304 ? S 18:14 0:00 kdeinit: kded After I return overnight (without re-using KDE) these processes do not clean up after themselves. My symptoms are exactly those described at http://bugs.kde.org/db/23/23920.html _except_ I only use KDE locally. Is this behavior correct? If not, what`s the best way to solve this problem short of a recompile? What`s worse is these additional instances of kdeinit remain as more users log in and exit of KDE. I`m using kdelib-2.1.2-4mdk (which contains kdeinit), LM8. Thanks, Mark _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
[expert] Show status of adsl connect
Got adsl yesterday and managed the setup. though not using draknet. I tried draknet first but it did not work. Then I ran adsl-setup and added a defaultroute in adsl-start. Now it works like a charm. Problem is, 11 (my provider) cuts the link after 15 minutes of inactivity and after 14 hours of continous running. 1. I put up a cronjob which sends 1 ping tom my own domain every 14 minutes. 2. It's no prob for me to restart every 24 hours. It would be nice, if this happened automagically but 3. My actual Q: Is there a little icon or sign to put on the KDE panel which shows the status of the connection? Today I saw Linux on a PPC and there was this small connection symbol which got unconnected when the internet connection broke.
