Re: [newbie-it] Pdf
con linux e' possibile e con quali strumenti/metodi modificare un file pdf? Strettametne modificare non si può, però puoi: estrarre il testo - pdftotext estrarre le immagini - pdfimages cio' che mi servirebbe di piu' e' eliminare una o + pagine dal file, mantenendo solo cio' che interessa Ciao, prova a fare una stampa su file delle pagine che ti interessano (ad esempio con acroread, kpdf... ) e poi converti il file postscript che ottieni in pdf con ps2pdf. Di questi ultimi ce ne sono vari. Io uso ps2pdf13. Per informazioni: man ps2pdf13. Non sempre però ho ottenuto risultati ottimali in questa catena di conversioni... Ciao, Andrea.
Re: [newbie-it] Pdf
cio' che mi servirebbe di piu' e' eliminare una o + pagine dal file, mantenendo solo cio' che interessa Si può provare dare in pasto il file.pdf a Gimp dal quale vengono estratte tutte le pagine come immagini eliminare le pagine non interessate creare un documento con Draw di OpenOffice e stampare come pdf. Così si ottiene il nuovo file. Ciao G.M.

Non me lo vede, o meglio appaiono delle righe strane al posto del disegno che avevo salvato. GRazie Ciao Scusami se rispondo un po in ritardo ma leggendo capirai il perchè. Non ho più installata la RH8, ma se hai la versione originale potrei mandarti una splash alternativa, quella prevista sulla versione RH9 della rivista LinuxC. Anche questa è un po scura, eventualmente la provi. Se invece hai la versione RH9 originale quella nella quale sono presenti le splash appunto originali ti sarei grato se invece sarai tu a mandarmele perchè ho la versione RH9 di LinuxC che ha dovuto modificare le splash originali per una questione di copyright sul marchio di RH. Ti rispondo anche a questa mail per un fatto che l'headers Data: nel campo degli headers dei tuoi ultimi due messaggi ricevuti portano la data 2002 e ho dovuto modificarla io a mano per far apparire la tue mail nella lista di quelle del 2003 e dato che io leggo le mail per thread/data ti portavi appresso tutte le altre appartenenti al tuo thread. Non so se è stato un errore occasionale qui da me, ma penso di no perchè solo i tuoi due ultimi messaggi hanno questo campo Data riferito al 2002, mentre per tutti gli altri della lista questo fatto non si è mai verificato. Vedi eventualmente come hai settato la data nel tuo sistema anche in riferimento alla data riportata nel bios. Fammi sapere, la tua risposta mi servirà anche di verifica.

[newbie-it] le sorprese di kmail - ravanando con procmail
Ho fatto un po' di esperimenti coi filtri di procmail, e il campo prova era, ovvio, l'insieme delle mailbox di kmail. Rovista rovista rovista, sono costretta a fermare il primo processo lanciato perche' dopo 20 minuti non si capisce se la shell e' impallata o sta lavorando. Apro la cartella-cavia per vedere cosa e' successo e... meraviglia delle meraviglie! Dentro ci sono _tutte_ le mail che ci avevo messo, anche quelle da tempo immemorabile archiviate e _cancellate_... sfido io che le mailbox di kmail aumentano a dismisura... Problemino: ho letto il man per fare il filtro su una cartella con la data corrente, ma non ho trovato esempi per filtrare tutte le mail arrivate prima di una certa data, credo che gli esempi del man diano per scontato il filtro giornaliero... e io ho roba vecchia da sistemare. Pensavo di agire cosi': :0: * ^Received:.*May 2003 $MAILDIR/0305 pero' nelle mail ci sono piu' righe che iniziano con Received... non e' che questo manda in pallone tutto?

[newbie] Evolution questions
I have to say that, coming from an M$ Windoze environment, where I relied heavily on Outlook to manage email, calendar, and addresses, Ximian Evolution is a terrific application to bridge the transition. I've read several boards but found no definitive information on the following Evolution-related questions: 1) Can you import Outlook email (from .pst files)? 2) Can you syncronize Evolution to WindowsCE devices? 3) Can you syncronize Evolution to online calendars such as Yahoo? 4) Can you syncronize email between a Windows machine running Outlook and Evolution? Details on each question follow: 1) Can you import Outlook email (from .pst files)? === I have found two basic thoughts on this: One is to install Mozilla on the Windows machine, let *it* convert Outlook, and then import from there to Evolution. The other thought is to get Outport, convert the files and use Evolutions File-Import to bring them in. The trouble I had with this is that Evolution showed NO filters in the File-Import process. I got the first 2 screens, then a progress box that said scanning for Intelligent Importers, then a blank dialogue box (with OK and Cancel, but no filters to select). 2) Can you syncronize Evolution to WindowsCE devices? === I see that a tool for Palm devices is present, but aside from an article on Chris Herrera's web site (http://www.cewindows.net/wce/linux-serial.htm) I can't find anything resembling an application. Not to mention what do to once you connect (ie: linking to Evolution). 3) Can you syncronize Evolution to online calendars such as Yahoo? === Yahoo has their Intellisync applet, which push/pulls between several email programs. I don't see a Linux-compatible option. 4) Can you syncronize email between a Windows machine running Outlook and Evolution? === I have a desktop PC and a laptop, and like to keep my mail syncronized between the two. With Outlook, I simply copied the .pst files over and I was good to go (obviously, only one computer can be in charge at a time). Is there any way to do this? How about between two systems both running Linux/Evolution? Thanks for everyone's support and help. Hopefully I'll be able to give something back soon.

Re: [newbie] Mozilla problem
Hello, So. It sounds like you know what I would like to know about Galeon and config files. I would like to run in KDE, but use the Galeon browser. In 9.0, I can set Galeon (1.2.5) in Settings-Preferences-Handlers-Programs to use the Kmail composer when I click a mailto: link (with kmail --composer %t). This does not seem to be as simple an operation in Galeon 1.3.3. Also, it seems that I should be able to get Kmail to use Galeon to open links clicked inside email, but I don't know how to do this either (although I haven't tried in Kmail 3.1, because I'm having problems with sending mail with the 9.1). Any thoughts? Are there any reading materials that cover these things? While I'm on configurations, I'll say that I didn't have any problems when I upgraded to 9.1, but only when I did a fresh install (I, know, I should have left well enough alone, few people have accused me of consistently doing the smart thing). It has been suggested that I can give /home its own partition and install without touching the old stuff. I've also been told that the installer won't upgrade applications whose config files have been modified. So it seems to me that learning how to tweak the files myself is the only way to have the new version, with the configuration that actually worked. One more thing, and this is probably heresy to say (see above about smarts), but what files would I need to keep to install 9.1 and still have the 9.0 look (theme?). As flashy as the new is, having switched back and forth I've found that the old icons and such are easier for me to read, and I just plain like them better (the retro thing, I guess). Comments?

Re: [newbie] kppp questions
Well, I solved the login on startup problem with a simple workaround - changed from kppp to wvdial. In case anyone's interested, here's a mini-howto. 1. Become root 2. Install wvdial $ urpmi wvdial 3. Generate the configuration file $ cd /etc $ wvdialconf wvdial.conf (note there is a dot in the second one, not the first) 4. Make wvdial.conf writable (they don't tell you this in the man pages!) 5. Edit wvdial.conf, filling in your username, password and the number you dial into. If you want any other options, see man wvdial.conf. 6. If your ISP requires that you specify the IP number of its nameserver, edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_resolv.default to include the line: nameserver 139.179.10.13 (changing the number, of course) Note: do not edit /etc/resolv.conf, as this gets overwritten at boot time. 7. If you want automatic login at boot time, add a line to /etc/inittab like mine:2345:respawn:/usr/bin/wvdial (there's probably a more elegant way to do this by making wvdial a service and putting it in one of the rc files) 8. Don't do any of the above if you have a pay-by-the-minute connection ;-) Sir Robin -- A Perl script is correct if it gets the job done before your boss fires you. - Larry Wall Robin Turner IDMYO Bilkent Univeritesi Ankara 06533 Turkey www.bilkent.edu.tr/~robin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

My system used to hang using dvdrip. I solved the problem by disconnecting my
DVD drive from my Promise IDE interface (built into my ASUS A7V333 motherboard)
and connecting it to my standard IDE controller (VIA). As a welcome side effect,
my drive was much faster afterwards.

Mencoder comes packaged with mplayer so it has the same version number. I settled on the above version because it ripped and encoded without crashing the entire OS. bear in mind that it may all be due to running your system, ie, cpu, memory, close to maximum overclocking , that there is no room for overload, and ripping and encoding dvd's is one hell of big demand on everything, so I tend to run at night when I'm asleep. But for some reason I had the same problem as you describe and cured it by going back to the above version, which is not the latest .

OK,
But I'm afraid I'm no expert on these error log messages, and in my
experience they seldom have much to do with mplayer. The message above
suggests direct memory access , I think dma means that, and maybe
someone can help you set dma up properly, I'm guessing it's a hardparm job.
Certainly dma access is desirable if it relates to dvd/rom and hard
drive as I'm guesing it does , and may be the single cause of your problem.

[newbie] Lost ALL network access
Hello, Earlier, I had a question about HOSTNAME and DOMAINNAME, and wondered how and where to set them correctly. At the suggestion of eric, I fired up linuxconf (in GUI mode - it would not work in cli) to see what's in there. The help available in linuxconf was a bit confusing to me, and did not help to explain how to set HOSTNAME and DOMAINNAME. I didn't know what to change, so I left it as is. On exiting the program, it says it will update the config. Since I didn't change anything, I said OK, do it. After it quit, I seem to have lost ALL network access - local and inet. I tried a reboot, and that did not help. Prior to firing up linuxconf, I had access locally (in and out) on internet, and could print to the local net printer. Everything seemed fine and worked well after a fresh 9.1 install/upgrade. I know all the hardware, etc CAN work OK. What happened? I would really appreciate help in getting the net access to work again. [Maybe also solving why the comp shows up as 'localhost' to other machines on the local net.] :-) -- Thanks very much, rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Two (seemingly) simple questions
OK Evolution questions. 1) Can i specify that I wish to post/reply above or below the last quoted reply? If so how? I can't find it in the help files. 2) Is there a way to rid myself of the ugly yellow box I have to type in when I reply just above my signature ? 3) Besides the preview pane is there another way to list reply to msgs all on one screen while still viewing your msgs ? IE: In netscapes mail you have or can have 3 windows separated by bars. This is good and when I select a msg to scroll down in (in the lower pane) the upper pane that contains msgs to be read doesn't unhighlight the one i'm on. This is my only niggling beef with Evo's way of doing it right now. It unhilights the msg I am looking at in the Preview pane if I go to scroll down to read it in that preview pane. argh! I hope thats clear... (like mud says Stephen...) -- Femme *** *Using Evolution on * *Mandrake 9.1 Loving it!* Suck it M$hit! OWNED! * *** Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] config/start fetchmail
Hello all, I've got four questions related to fetchmail Does anybody know how to configure / start fetchmail so it will: - Run every 15minutes - Run silent/deamon (without noticing it during work ánd without the PC looks like being dead at login when detching a lot of messages) - Starts automatic at login for my user only - Stops at logout I shutdown my PC everyday. How to get the mail-messages that cause this message in fetchmail (what's happening here?): skipping message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 (0 octets) not flushed How to enter my user/server data in .netrc so: With 2 accounts on the same server (this means fetchmail cannot distinguish them?) - Fetchmail will use both to login - Right now it only uses the first of the two and doesn't use the later - I need to put the account information in the .fetchmailrc to pass this Anybody a clue? How can I configure fetchmail it will also download messages from other IMAP folders than only the Inbox. The tree at the IMAP server is like: INBOX = all inbox messages INBOX.Sent Items = all sent messages (also used in my office PC to put my messages in through Lookout Express) Of courscours it would be nice to fetch also my sent messages to my home PC.

It's kinda like text mode but J with menus and all that. Yep - tried it with --text, and it runs. It also runs from the GUI menu in a 'pretty' form, with the same content. Still can't get it to let me back on the net. :-( linuxconf is asking for 'primary name + domain'. I don't understand what to put there.

[newbie] gtk themes not working properly on blackbox
I use blackbox as a Window Manager. I noticed the 9.1 Galaxy theme does not work unless I copy it to the Default folder in /usr/share/themes. At least, that's how I think I solved it last time. I had to reinstall today, and when trying to get it to work, I notice GTK 2 themed programs work properly (e.g. Mozilla, drakconf). But GTK 1.x (sylpheed, gimp) apps do not: they still look ugly, with motif widgets.
