[expert] Fonts in Evolution
I'm trying to force Evolution using iso-8859-2 font but with no luck. I'm running ML8.2 with default KDE and default Evolution, as well as Evolution 1.0.8. Iso-8859-2 fonts are available in all KDE applications when set by ControlPanel->Peripherals->Keyboard->Primary Layout->Croatian but Evolution doesn't understand that, of course. I then tried with gnomecc->Main->HTML Viewer and there selected appropriate fonts. It works there but in Evolution I don't get any character (not even iso-8859-1 equivalent of iso-8859-2 char). Then I turned of keyboard layout in KDE and loaded Xmodmap. KDE applications still work just fine, xterm is OK and now Evolution at least displays some characters (iso-8859-1, not -2). I set encoding etc. in Evolution correctly, I can read iso-8859-2 characters but cannot create them. So, what I should change to have iso-8859-2 in evolution's message composer?

[expert] Controlling visual bell
How can I control the visual bell? Say, the length of the flash, the 'silence period' between two flashes etc? By silence period I mean the time after the flash in which no new flash occures. Say, when I'm in terminal window and press 10 times in 2 seconds, only one flash occurs, and after say 5 seconds I press again and then get another flash. I think I need to put something in .Xdefaults, but what? Thanks. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[expert] Win workgroup block
This isn't a linux question but since some of you may be IT staff or just may know a program that could help me out. Windows or linux (prefer windows (not by choice)) Problem: I work for IT at a University. Our problem is students set there workgroup as almost anything creating a bunch of work groups. And of course the big boss gets angry and wants all students under dorms workgroup and faculty under the domain. No we are using 'net send' win command, to try to contact the people and get it changed. As much of a pain as this is it eventually gets done. But then people change the workgroup again. Soon a new year comes around and it's the same deal. Solution: Is there a program or a script that can be put in a server that would block any workgroups except a certain ones. It also needs to let domains stay too. Thanks Brian

That works, since I did upgrade just last weekend one machine from 8.2 to cooker (or about 9.0 RC2). Never tried upgrade from 8.1 remotely though. If you have never done it, I would recommend first do an upgrade for a similar machine locally to see in which order to do things. I have done in order 1. glibc, and if remote, sshd 2. kernel and initscripts 3. reboot 4. rpm and urpmi plus some conflicting packages 5. --auto-select When doing it remote, it is good to have a backup connection (like telnet) in case ssh upgrade fails. Also in some versions I have observed that current ssh connections are killed when sshd is restarted after the upgrade--that is catastrophic if you are connected with ssh. That is not too complicated process, having done it to three machines so far. Step 4 needs some cleaning, since old 8.2 urpmi does not remove packages automatically, and there are some dependencies not up to date. Teemu Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I honestly don't know. My laptop that I am using right now, was initially 8.1, then updated to cooker before 8.2 and followed it until the release, and now to cooker again around 9.0 Beta 4--just using urpmi. Of course, if you do it this way, there will always be some problem somewhere, simply because the simple package upgrade did not do the same thing than installing a clean release would do. But on the other hand, I don't want to spent long time to figure out all custom things I've done or extra packages I have installed, or redo configuration of all the services. I probably would not dare to do an upgrade from the CD though. In that case, I would have no idea what goes wrong if something happens. With urpmi and local (rsync'ed) source, I have a lot of control to fix dependencies or force the installation. Things could go wrong still, though, but I have never had a backup plan other than "I'll deal with it if it happens". A set of CD's for full installation is a wise thing to have, but I am not wise. Come to think of it, a backup would be wise too... (BTW, I did pretty much the same thing on a RedHat machine once, from 5.0 to ~7.0 in multiple stages, something like 5.0 -> 5.2 -> 6.? -> 7.0, before finally installing Mandrake. And there was no urpmi, but I did it by recompiling some critical packages from new src.rpm's, like glibc, rpm, gcc, and finally doing rpm -Fvh for the rest with manual dependency resolution).

Re: [expert] Remote upgrade
Somewhat related: For some of my headless machines I use the console on a serial port feature of the kernel. It allows you to login to a machine even if there's no network connection. The only limitation is that you need a second machine to ssh into and then run minicom or your serial term package. This is useful when doing remote upgrades that could leave the network inoperative. Another option may be to use one of those Ethernet/VideoCard devices that put the machine on the network from bios init to OS init and on. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The problem is: with the new box acting as a gateway, the PCs on the LAN can get to some websites and not others. Also, at times the connection for those LAN machines seems really slow.

If you find one outside of the list, please let us know. I would love
to track down some better LDAP docs.
It also depends on what you're looking for. I've written up an LDAP
authentication article on MandrakeSecure (see the sig), and if that's
what you want, you probably won't find a better "HOWTO" on that
particular aspect of LDAP (please note that it's still somewhat a
work-in-progress.. whether that means the implementation or the
documentation, I leave up to you, but I'm not entirely satisfied with
the whole scenario).
Personally, I would like to know how to setup an address book in LDAP
that multiple people can access (one person in write mode, everyone
else in read mode); something compatible with Outlook,
Netscape/Mozilla, and other email clients (I believe Evolution can do
LDAP lookups for addresses).
I would like to setup, here, a company-wide address book that
interfaces with any mail client (and would also be used in my work to
build a full-featured web mail "suite" using a number of tools).
Sadly, I didn't really see anything about that when looking around and
doing research on my authentication article.

Finally had to put it's IP in /etc/hosts becasue ATT kept losing it. If you know of a properly configured DNS server someplane.. I recommend using it as a secondary or tertiary nameserver.

[expert] Java Upgrade issues
I suddenly find myself needing to get Java 1.3.1+ working on my system (Mandrake 8.2), but I apparently only have v1.1. (according to 'java -version'). I've downloaded the JRE from sun, and installed the RPM. Unfortunately, it seems to have had no effect. Anybody run into this before or know how to fix it? - Theo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Todd Quarter Deck created some really nice software Never had a package that didn't do what it said. Ran a small BBS out of my house in the service. All it served up was information on all running BBS's in Korea (Both PC and Amiga... most of them where Amiga) as well as the latest scores for Galactic Trader. (If I remember the name right.) One Amiga 500, one 2400baud modem (couldn't afford the high speed 9.6 ) and two floppy's one for the BBS one for the data. Best program was a phone answering machine written in REXX... used the Amiga voice capability to do the message.

Re: [expert] Java Upgrade issues
Theo, Probably if you do which java on your comp it will come back with the old java Not the new one. One of the shortcomings of java. The java you want to use needs to be included in your path. So you'll need to edit .bashrc or better yet /etc/profile to get the path to javac included in your path. Sun site should (did) have a detailed discription of this. Java write once run everywhere if you wrote it on a laptop. *grin* James On Mon, 2002-09-09 at 21:16, Theo Brinkman wrote: > I suddenly find myself needing to get Java 1.3.1+ working on my system > (Mandrake 8.2), but I apparently only have v1.1.

Re: [expert] attbi & internet connection sharing strangeness
The DNS server that I'm using it my gateway machine's DNS server (192.168.0.1). So, from what you're saying, I just need to leave that box on for a while and eventually NameD will be fully updated? And thus enabling it to provide full DNS lookup just like the box it replaced? -Sevatio James Sparenberg wrote: > If by attbi You mean ATT Cable... then The fact that some sites are slow > to conncect seems to be a function of there DNS configuration.
