Re: [expert] vim leaves "c" behind

2000-03-09 Thread Jeff Stewart

I'm thinking that this may be small problem with the KDE konsole. (At
least that's where I've noticed it).  A simple kludge around this is to
set TERM=linux prior to running vi.  I just aliased vi & view to my little
3 line script like such:

export TERM=linux
/bin/vi $1
export TERM=xterm

I put this is in ~/bin and called it myvi.  Then I just put added the
alias to .bashrc.  (alias vi='$HOME/bin/myvi')

Re: [expert] Mandrake 7.0 printer weirdness?

2000-01-24 Thread Jeff Stewart

I've found a fix for this, although it's probably not the "Best
way" (tm) to do it.  After comparing an lm6.1 machine (that works w/ an
SMB printer), and the lm7.0 (that doesn't), I found that
/var/spool/lpd/lp/.config was mode 644 on the 6.1 machine.  Obviously not
good.  The .config on the 7.0 box was 640, root.root.  Changed the .config
on the 7.0 machine to 644 and printing thru smb works.  Didn't like having
.config world-readable, so I changed it back to 640, root.lp.  This works. 
I've just noticed that if you run printtool and rebuild the
.config, it sets it back to root.root.  DrakConf will leave the
owner.group perms the same as they were originally, root.lp in this case.

Bottom line, the .config should be owner-root, group-lp.

(Shot in the dark here)..Are your users shells listed in /etc/shells?
