so do you actually have "pncr7t.mf"? where is it?
does your xdvi use kpathsea to find files? if not, is it looking in
the right place?
pncr is "NewCenturySchlbk-Roman", one of the standard postscript
fonts. so if you were planning on dvips'ing, then TeX probably doesn't
need to actually have the font - ghostscript will use its own copy. it
would be a little strange to have that particular font in metafont
(.mf) format anyway, rather than adobe/postscript type1 (.pf[ab]).
(for example, i have pncr*.{afm,tfm,vf} here, but no actual font glyphs)
you could try just viewing the postscript, and see if that "fixes" it.

[SLUG] Memory Issues and load averages
First off the main problem I seem to be having is with memory. My machine is a HP Celeron 566 with 384Mb of RAM in it. Running Debian recently upgraded to sid (but the problem seemed to be occuring beforehand when I was running woody too) I'm running Gnome and sawfish. Using Galeon to browse and evolution for mail. Nothing out of the ordinary there. I kind of expect Evolution to be a bit resource hungry and it is but Galeon is just as bad it seems. I've got all this memoory and I'm still basically running out. The machine actually started swapping pretty furiously a while ago but admittedly I had a few things happening. It wasn't for long. It's been happening for a while so I've added an applet to the panel to monitor system memory. It starts off nice and low once everything starts up and then only seems to go up.It will drop as you start closing apps and windows left and right but only very slightly and seemingly never anywhere near as much as it went up in the first place. Now I seem to recall someone saying something about how once the system uses memory it holds onto most of it and then distributes it to the apps that need it without actually freeing it up? Was that right or was that in reference to windows?? OK here's meminfo while I did that I had evolution open typing the mail gtop running and two eterms one sshing to another box. Thats it aside from the usual applets running in the panel (gaim, Xmms, d4X, odometer, netleds and mixerapplet) dan@silentbob:~$ cat /proc/meminfo total:used:free: shared: buffers: cached: Mem: 393097216 342855680 502415360 19484672 151195648 Swap: 208977920 307200 208670720 MemTotal: 383884 kB MemFree: 49064 kB MemShared: 0 kB Buffers: 19028 kB Cached: 147352 kB SwapCached:300 kB Active: 143856 kB Inactive:87616 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree:0 kB LowTotal: 383884 kB LowFree: 49064 kB SwapTotal: 204080 kB SwapFree: 203780 kB dan@silentbob:~$ So am I reading this right in saying even though I've only got say 50M free out of my 380 odd since 145Mb or so is cached that's "free" in a way too??

RE: [SLUG] Linux Sysadmin wages.
You're of course completely right, but in consideration for a junior role, it shows that someone has been set a target, has worked towards the goal and has been largely self-managed along the way. Clearly real-world experience is far more valuable and hence my comments that at 5 years exp, a degree becomes sundry. But I still hold that in juniorish roles the maturity and problem solving abilities of graduates is *in general* worth the little extra.

[SLUG] Missing my.cnf for mysql
I have lost (well, I think I foolishly removed it during a reinstall) the mysql file /etc/my.cnf. I use Debian woody, so it would seem to be in the mysql-common package. "dpkg -s mysql-common" gives me "install ok installed". Should I just "apt-get remove" that package then reinstall (and in so doing reinstall mysql-server amongst other things)? Or can I extract the file out of the package somehow and manually stick it back in (prepares for shivers and head-shaking from the apt/ dpkg gurus...)?

I have:

Thats what I dont know. There is no emntion of setting font paths in the
docs for xdvi that I have.
I am looking at whether my texmf.cfg is being rea as $TEXMF,
$VARTEXFONTS etc are undefined.

After dvips the ps file shows the font fine, yes gs uses it own. I was
planning to use just xdvi as it immediately shows the changes that are
made after running latex. It will be an 'interactive' tute with changes
via vim, run latex and presto look what shows now in xdvi.

After viewing ps from dvipsxdvi still gets same error when it tries to
show any font other than cmr.

Yes, "cached" and "buffers" are just the kernel optimising disk access. If a program requires more memory, then some of that memory is made available to it.

RE: [SLUG] Premises monitoring
I'm not exactly sure what your asking for here but try Netsaint ( http://www.netsaint.org ) it can monitor all sorts of devices and generate lots of different alerts. i have no idea if thats of any relevance to you... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Howard Lowndes Sent: Friday, 14 June 2002 9:17 AM To: Mail List - SLUG Subject: [SLUG] Premises monitoring Is anyone aware of work that has been done involving interfacing premises monitoring systems to Linux so that the latter can be used to generate SMS/email/etc. alarms.

[SLUG] fishing for Mac OSX experiences
I was reading an article in the April edition of Linux Journal the other day which looks into the current state of OSX. In it the comment is made: "After hackers barfed on Apples original public source licence, the company issued a new one that the Open Source Initiative soon approved" and " In fact, you don't even need to run Darwin on Apple hardware, since an x86 version is available as well (from Apple even)" I am wondering if any sluggers have tried installing GNU-Darwin and if so, what do they have to report? -=-=-==-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Graeme Robinson - Graenet consulting www.graenet.com - internet solutions -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==---=-=--=-=-= -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] Xircom card with RH7.3
Hi All, Does anyone know what happened with the upgrade from RH7.2 to 7.3 with Xircom network cards. As my laptop (Toshiba Satellite 4100xdvd) was working fine until the upgrade to 7.3. I have heard it has to do with the tulip_cb file and is there a fix out there available? cheers Mark -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
