[expert] changing default system fonts
Hey everyone, I've just been messing with my system and all of a sudden my fonts are digustingly ugly. I use Evolution for my mail, and the font that is used for the menus and the shortcuts lists is some repulsive fixed width thing. I can't find anywhere that tells me how to change this. I can't use my system with this - it's just horrible. Please help! I'm running 8.2. Any comments appreciated - any advice will be very gratefully welcomed! Regards, Angus Beath

Re: [expert] scsi cd burning problem....may be solved!
i think that in an 'options' line you miss out the first reference to the module name, so i think you should try: options dc395xtrm=-2,2,-2,-2,-2,-2 i'm also not sure about that = sign, maybe try with a space instead if the above doesn't work? bascule On Friday 19 July 2002 1:29 am, you wrote: > and also: > > alias scsi_hostadapter dc395x_trm > options dc395x_trm dc395x_trm=-2,2,-2,-2,-2,-2 > > Neither of these workthe bus is still at 20 on boot and I have to > rmmod and then do the above modprobe line. > > any ideas? > > Darren -- Vampires have risen from the dead, the grave and the crypt, but have never managed it from the cat.

[expert] scsi cd burning problem....may be solved!
After many kernel builds, new driver installs, I have gotten my scsi cd burner to burn without the dreaded DMA errors. I had to slow the scsi bus down to 10 MHzthe default is 20. This is done from the commmand line like this: modprobe dc395x_trm dc395x_trm=-2,2,-2,-2,-2,-2 the -2's mean don't change the parametter and the 2 in the 2nd position is the one that changes the speed. I have succesfully burned 2 cd's (audio and data) at 4x which is my usual burning speed although my Plextor will do 12. My next question is: how do I express the above in modules.conf? I tried thse 2: alias scsi_hostadapter dc395x_trm dc395x_trm=-2,2,-2,-2,-2,-2 and also: alias scsi_hostadapter dc395x_trm options dc395x_trm dc395x_trm=-2,2,-2,-2,-2,-2 Neither of these workthe bus is still at 20 on boot and I have to rmmod and then do the above modprobe line. any ideas?

Re: [expert] Piping email to Perl Script
This is related to an issue with setting up Mailman also. Quoting from the docs : snip Mailman - The GNU Mailing List Management System Copyright (C) 1998,1999,2000 by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA SENDMAIL ISSUES Many newer versions of Sendmail come with a restricted execution utility called "smrsh", which limits the executables that sendmail can use as mail filter programs. You need to explicitly allow Mailman's wrapper program to be used with smrsh before it will work. If mail is not getting delivered to Mailman's wrapper program and you're getting an "operating system error" in your mail syslog, this could be your problem. One good way of doing this is to: - cd into /etc/smrsh (or where ever it happens to reside on your system, such as /var/smrsh or /usr/local/smrsh). - create a symbolic link to Mailman's wrapper program ---snip I hope this sheds some light on the problem (situation)...

[expert] Piping email to Perl Script
Hello everyone, I have a Mandrake (8.1) server and am having trouble with Sendmail. Basically, I want to have an alias that forwards the email sent to it to a perl script. I know stuff like this can be done and does work, because that is how Majordomo is setup. Majordomo works fine, but when I setup an alias like below Sendmail says "Cannot mail directly to programs" in the maillog. Here's my Majordomo forwards (in /etc/aliases): forward22: :include:/usr/maj/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/informer forward23: "|/usr/maj/majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper request-answer informer" forward24: :include:/usr/maj/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/ocnews forward25: "|/usr/maj/majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper request-answer ocnews" forward26: "|/usr/maj/majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper majordomo" The key one's to look at are forward23, 25 and 26they actually pipe to the wrapper program and it spits back an email to send to the user who origninated the email. My line looks like this: forward155 "| /home/admin/yptest.pl" They are basically doing the same thing, but I can't get mine to work.

Because there's a search PATH defined that looks in several places, one of which is /usr/bin, where make is located. The equivalent in a directory is called indexes.

I think the easiest way (for a not so experienced user) would be: - Start Mandrake control Center - choose "start of operating system ( I am not sure on the exact english name, since I am using german language)" - unmark in the area "system mode" the option "start of X-Window automatically on boot up" ( again I am not sure on the exact english expressions, but I think the correct english issues will be easily found).

[expert] ppp and Mandrake 8.2
Hi! I'm running Mandrake 8.2. The computer serves as an SMS/WAP server. When I try to establish a PPP link between mobile phone and server I get a following message from ppp (log file): "Hangup (SIGHUP) Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline: Interrupted system call" The modem is a Nokia Card Phone in a PCMCIA port (ttyS16). If I use normal external modem in serial ports, there is no problem. I know this is slightly off topic, but I didn't find any other sensible/working mailing lists. where else could I seek for help?
