[newbie] import ms fonts?
Hi everyone, I finally have installed Mdk10.0, and I'm in the process of getting things set up the way I would like. Thus far, I haven't encountered too many bumps, and I am quite impressed. One thing I would like to ask the list however; is there any way to import my ms fonts from my dual-boot xp all in one step, like in previous versions of Mdk? Can I just copy and paste my fonts from ms to Mdk? The automated process that Mdk had was so easy. TIA for your time and any feedback on this.

Re: [newbie] CUPS causing martian source messages in syslog
On Wednesday 14 July 2004 08:28 pm, hackhound wrote: I am using CUPS to print to a shared printer connected to my W2k machine. I notice the following two lines keep showing up in my syslog. They appear twice a minute nonstop. That is until I shutdown CUPS. Once I did that, the error messages went away. I have searched the net for an answer, but cannot find any solution. I was told to change my logging level so these messages are no longer logged, but I don't think that is a good solution. Jul 14 19:21:00 home kernel: martian source 192.168.1.255 from 192.168.1.200, on dev eth0 Jul 14 19:21:00 home kernel: ll header: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:0d:88:c3:49:b1:08:00 Unfortunately, IIRC, there is not really any other solution to this issue. The martian source log entry is caused by a routine broadcast that enables the browsing of printer shares on a local network. When you log martian source from the kernel and allow CUPS browsing, you will inevitably get logs of martian source packets as CUPS attempts to broadcast its presence throughout the local LAN segment. You have essentially two choices, disable CUPS browsing so that CUPS doesn't broadcast, or turn martian packet logging off so that you don't see the messages. Either one of these will remove those entries from your log files. -- Bryan Phinney Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

You could set up a local folder on your computer as a media source and then place any of the rpm's you download into that folder. You might need to update the media source every now and then.

[newbie] Forms (typewriter is dead)
Hello All, My question is about forms. We are currently using a few forms in our daily routines that require the use of a typewriter. After sitting here and watching one of the business office managers spend 15 minutes typing up a form and then another 10 going back and 'whiting out' the mistakes that were made, I feel that I need to do something to fix this. I was thinking I need to create an HTML form that can be filled out, and when the submit key is clicked, I need the values to automatically appear in the correct places on a preexisting word document to be printed off. Does anyone have any suggestion as to how to do this, possible resources or better ideas? Thanks, .:Thinker Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I'm using Mandrake 10 Community and have it set to auto-login with KDE as default desktop manager. I used the Cooker URPM servers to upgrade KDE to version 3.2.3.

Before you do this, you can boot into a console by pressing Shift and I - that is, hold down the shift key and press the letter I (eye) before going past the interactive boot process. You'll be given the option to start all the normal services one at a time. Make sure that you don't start the dm service, because that's the one that's launching your log-in screen. Once you're at the console, urpmi Xtart, and after installation, run it from the prompt. You'll see the list of desktops you can launch. HTH Lanman I tried this, however, it wouldn't let me into Gnome or KDE even though they were in the list. When I restarted the PC, I was given a choice at the graphical login, however it wouldn't let me login there. Kept refusing, even when trying to login as Root.

Re: [newbie] Setting up CPAN

I need CPAN to get Perl modules installed. When I su to root and execute the command: perl -MCPAN -e shell and let it do the automatic configuration, I run into an error when I try to install a module. There is a config.h file that CPAN can't find -- and I can't find it either. When I do o conf, there is nothing in the section for makepl_arg. I read online (http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Programming/Installing_and_Using_CPAN.html) that this is critical and related to my error, but I don't know how to resolve it on this freshly installed Mandrake 10 system. For instance, the site tells me that I should do this: cpan makepl_arg: LIB=/path/to/my/site_perl but I don't know what Mandrake 10's /path/to/my/site_perl should be. Can you please guide me through a newbie configuration of CPAN to fix this error? Thanks very much, Clint Im on 10.0 OE; I've not had a problem installing any of the perl modules - then again, I installed everything related to perl from the beginning; what you need to do is be a bit more specific; what happens when you first run: perl -MCPAN -e shell ??? And if you get to the command line shell whilst in perl, what happens when you try something like: cpan install IO::Stringy ? Do you get any types of errors? If anything, you could uninstall perl and then reinstall it - or, like me, urpmi everything that has anything to do with perl and then try again... Oh, also, check your /etc/ld.so.conf and make sure that all the lib paths are setup there - and even if they are, run ldconfig -v from the terminal as root to make sure the lib cache is rebuilt. stephen kuhn - proprietor __ illawarra computer services :: a kuhn media australia venture http://kma.0catch.com :: mobile 0410.728.389 Serving Sydney, The Illawarra, South Coast and Rural NSW __ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents __ Certified virus-free since we don't use Microsoft products Ballistophobia: Fear of bullets; Otophobia: Fear of opening one's eyes.

[newbie] Assistance with postifx
Ok guys, I'm having a hell of a time here with this. Heres what I'm trying to do. I have a script that will report spam automatically to earthlink. Below is a snip from a reply I got from one of the techs when we discovered that my reports were going out ok, but being rejected by EL's abuse mailer: AHA! That's the problem. Your 'envelope from' does not use a FQDN (chris.localdomain does not resolve). There is an anti-spam measure running on the MTA (Exim) for abuse.earthlink.net which will reject all mail from domains with no resolvable 'A' record or 'MX' record. This is the same machine that [EMAIL PROTECTED] forwards to. The same rule does not run on the earthlink.net MX, which is why you could find no errors in your local mail logs. Your box handed the report off to the earthlink.net MX just fine, but when *that* rotor attempted to deliver the mail to us at abuse.earthlink.net, it was rejected like so: Of course, you never saw this, because [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't go anywhere. Configure your MTA to announce with [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the 'MAIL FROM:' command (or just something resolvable), and that should fix it. Notice this has nothing to do with the parameters in the script. That only specifies the 'Header from', which is what is visible as the 'From:' header when reading e-mail. But the 'Envelope From' is entirely different, which usually translates to be the 'Return-Path:' when you view the extended headers of an e-mail. Ok, so, I went to the main.cf in /etc/postifx and made this change: myorigin = [EMAIL PROTECTED] #myorigin = $mydomain Now for some reason the headers of the msgs look like this, which I know is incorrect: Status: RO Return-Path: chris@@earthlink.net Received: from chris.localdomain ([xx.xx.xxx.xxx]) by quail (EarthLink SMTP Server) with ESMTP id 1bLh4S53N3NZFkZ0 Thu, 15 Jul 2004 17:59:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: by chris.localdomain (Postfix, from userid 501) id E2AC0584002; Thu, 15 Jul 2004 20:59:52 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, for now I've shut off the reporting script.

Ron Hunter-Duvar wrote: I've seen some people on this list having trouble getting their network interfaces working. This may be unrelated, but FYI: http://www.mozillaquest.com/Linux04/Asus_Sucks_Story-01.html The moral of the story is don't buy ASUS motherboards. Interesting article Ron, but like any other situation there's always another side to the facts. I can only speak from my experience, but since 1996 I've sold over 3500 PC's and servers, and with most of those, the boards have been Asus. Anytime I've spoken to the Asus reps, they've been very helpful and even told me who to speak to at their call-center. In one case, I was asked for my advice by one of the techs about which board to use! Later that same tech called me back to confirm that he had built his personal system and loaded Mandrake 9.2 on it without a hitch. He was very grateful for my advice. In all the time I've used Asus boards, I've had two problems that weren't related to my own errors. The A7V-133 board had a bad run of Chipset cooling fans (which Asus promptly replaced via overnight courier), and the A7V8X which had the first broadcom 4401 onboard NIC, and that problem was due to the fact that a proper driver module hadn't been built into the 2.4 kernel at that point. Even their relatively new Asrock line of boards which are a low-end board haven't given me one speck of hassle with Linux. These guys in the article may be 100% right about their experience with Asus, but I'm wondering if they don't actually have a defective board and need to concentrate on replacing it. Since the P5A, through the entire lineup of A7V's, A7N266 boards, and currently the P4S800 and P4P800-MX, these boards have been amazingly rock-solid for me, and the Asus reps I've met at the trade conferences have been very honest and helpful, so either these guys just got the wrong guy at the Asus end of the phone, or I'm the luckiest SOB on the planet.

Re: [newbie] Forms (typewriter is dead)
Dear Friend, I think we can implement Apache + PHP + mysql here in this case. Here we can create simple HTML form using PHP to accept inputs from user. The PHP code will also take care to save the data in Mysql database. This will enable you to reuse existing data if you want and will surely reduce repetitive work. So also we can create another PHP code which will query to Mysql database and will put the results in HTML form so that you can print it. Hope this helps you. So also there are many such free programs available on the net which you can download. By the way Apache + PHP + mysql are available in the Mandrake 10.00 cd set which we can install very easily. This has worked for me very well. Thanks, ~Sujit..
