Re: Compiling Qt 3.1 with Xft support under RedHat 8.0?

You file a bug against it to trolltech, and it will be automatically kicked out. You file a bug in RH's bugzilla - and probably no one will answer... (regarding gcc3.2: mandrake's guys share the same problem) Two good things to say about RH8: - both mozilla, qt(+kde) and gtk2(+gnome2) use fontconfig (xft2). This makes fonts settings so much easier. http://fontconfig.org/ - Changed the default locale to a UTF-8 one. Less unreadable file-system problems, less uncoherency with kde/gnome2 Sometimes a distro has to think not only about what is the easiest way to install a certain package and make it work, but how to make all the packages work together well. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:tzafrir;technion.ac.il http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Fwd: Where'd the cpu cycles go ?
3.5 orders of magnitude suggests he went from ram access (perhaps cache) to disk access. my guess is your configuration of 8.0 takes more memory = he's thrashing. what does free tells him in each case ?

Re: Fwd: Where'd the cpu cycles go ?
Well, the answer is a big different... If you run this script with en_US encoding and NOT utf8 - you would see the missing speed. Apparently there's a bug with grep when it comes to utf8 handling (redhat and Alan confirmed that).. So, if you're running lots of scripts on RH 8.0, maybe you should add a simple en_US encoding to the beginning of your script...

I mean, I would expect much more for this to be a result of some hardware related problem (HD operating with DMA off for example or some such) rather then some the wide VM problem it seems to be hinting at. In short, I think something is wrong in his configuratrion (and this may or may not be related to RH8.0) rather then to a bug somwewhere.

With such a generic and non-descriptive error message, how can you possibly expect anyone to know the answer? In order to find the culprit, you should take common debugging measures. Set named's debug level to a high value (See named's manual page for further details), run it through strace and so forth. After you have collected more informative messages, you may forward them to the list. Letting us have a glimpse at your configuration might also be an OK idea.

Rootless Cygwin/XFree86
Greetings, Some time ago I consulted this list about good X servers for Windows (it's easier and far cheaper to access Linux from Windows than the reverse; I need both). Back then, the conclusion was that there is no satisfactory free solution, so I've been using Starnet's X-Win32 [1]. Well, there's some progress on the free front. The Cygwin port of XFree86, which until recently worked only in single-window mode (which I consider unusable), now features a rootless mode where every X window appears in an independent Windows window. Rootless mode is not yet integrated into CVS, but you can grab the source or a working binary from the test builds page (I used Test68): http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/shadow/changelog.html Performance is quite good, though CPU usage is high. You still can't switch window focus between X apps using Alt-Tab or the Windows taskbar, but only using the mouse or X-based stuff (my favorite is having the Windows taskbar on bottom and KDE panel on top, both with auto-hide). Apparently in rootless mode XFree86 still uses its own pixel buffers rather than using the Win32 GDI, so you get all the fancy stuff such as the RENDER extension (read: antialising) and XKEYBOARD (read: keyboard language switching). All Hail Matsuzaki Kensuke! Regards, Eran Tromer [1] X-Win32 is closed source, and a single license costs from $140 for a standard license (1 year of upgrades) to $60 for a box-specific time-limited student license. It's reasonably stable (server reset needed about every 10 days of extensive use), and works very well though it doesn't support some fancy stuff like the RENDER extension. The alternative is Hummingbird Exceed, which is more expensive and somewhat annoying in myriad small ways. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

SOLUTION Re: resizing /
I ended up finding some spare place to store an interim / partition, modified /etc/fstab to allow booting in that partition and mounting of the original / in /mnt/spare. Thing to watch out for: since grub looks for its config file on the original /, one should really carry out the entire migration in one session. However, even with no services running, fdisk told me it couldn't reload the partition table, so I had to reboot with a rescue disk (the RH installation cd #1, just type linux rescue at the prompt), and only then remount the new / and copy to it the contents of the interim /. Finally, I wondered why I had a kernel panic, and after some searching found that RH had once autonomously given a name to the original / partition; the label was / (I know, this is confusing). So once I realized that and issued e2label /dev/hda5 /, the thing was solved. I guess I would have had less trouble using parted after having booted with the rescue disc...

Re: gnomecal to KOrginizer
It seems that there are different versions of the format. When I've tried to open the file saved from gnomecal in KOrgenizer, I get a pop-up with the message: Couldn't load calender '/homes/ifinci/test.ics' Nothing more. When looking at the files, they have a different version field (1.2.0 for the gnome file, and 2.0 for the KOrgenizer one), and of course a different PRODID field (changing this field to the KOrgenizer value didn't help). If it will help, I can attach the 2 versions of the files. bye, Ilan Tzafrir Cohen wrote: On Tue, 5 Nov 2002, Ilan Finci wrote: Hi, Probably this is should not be to hard to accomplish, but I failed doing so and couldn't find a solution.
