[SLUG] revisited PVR
Hi all, I have just bought a new beastie with a Vision Plus DTV card, after a bit of reading over the weekend I have got the card running under Mandrake 10. There was a fair bit to configure now I am wondering if anyone here has used mythtv using a DTV card? Also does anyone have a channel.conf for xine for the sydney area? In particular one with all the channels for DTV.

If you download the manual for that board, its called the Asus BlueMagic PCI slot. Proprietary to Asus for future Asus add in cards. Compliant with the PCI spec however, so it will still take standard PCI cards. Whats different?? No idea so far.

* Jeff Waugh ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: H 0.00 Anyone got any pointers on how to make foreign characters display in mutt?

Hey Adam, 1) Get more fonts.

Ucs can be obtained from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html, and if you run one of the included scripts will break down the huge unicode fixed font into separate encodings, which is helpful if you want to read or write in just part of the total set. 3) Add the ucs font directory to your XF86Config-4 as in:- Section Files RgbPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ucs/ FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/ FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/ FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/ FontPath /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType I've put the ucs directory where the other fonts are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, but put the directory at the top of the files section so that its version on the fonts is selected first by the font server. 4) Run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales' and add locales like en_AU-UTF-8 or en_US-UTF8 as well as pl_PL and pl_PL-UTF8. You probably have en_AU or en_US at the moment as your locale. (Check with 'locale'). You may well wish to keep it that way, but when you write in Polish you could start an xterm (or better, uxterm) and type 'LANG=pl_PL' to get a Polish environment just in that terminal. This set-up works OK for me, with one minor glitch. Realplayer doesn't like the helvetica font which ucs provides. So to start up rvplayer, I get rid of the ucs fonts by temporarily blocking them out with 'xset -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ucs'. Start rvplayer and then restore the ucs directory by reissuing the command with a plus sign '+fp'. I think that's more to do with Realplayer being non-free and RH-centric, rather that with the actual font set-up I have. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] OS in Law Firms
I have a friend who is in a small Law Partnership in the city, no more then three legals. Being a very small firm, their network intrastructure is basic. Now the partners are reviewing were they are and where they want to be the future. Things like case and client management tools are being constantly asked by my friend and whether they are in the OS world. I've look at Debian packages but does anyone know or have experience in OS in small law firms? Or would like to take on the sales job for OSS here?

[SLUG] startx problems...
Hi, A friend has asked me to help him with a problem. I've been looking into a little today and have managed to solve some of the issues, except for the last nagging thing. Everytime we launch startx it does the following; Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/, removing from list! waiting for X server to shut down Looking back over the warnings and errors we see the following also. (WW) The directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/ does not exist. Entry deleted from font path. If I hash out the CID stuff in the XF86Config, that error disappears but the other stuff before the server shutsdown still appear. I am guessing something is not installed or a script needs to be ran. Fonts exist in the Speedo and Type1 dirs.. as I checked. Can anyone help?

[SLUG] X11 Font?
G'day, Just trying to run a piece of X11 software in Fedora Core 2 which used to work in RH 7.3. This software uses hardware OpenGL using the nVidia driver. Anyway I keep getting this error: "Font not found: -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-480-*-*-*-*-*-*No font found for GL" ..when trying to run the software. We use the same nVidia driver on both distros, but it seems that only Fedor C2 has this problem. I'm guessing it's just an X11 font thing, but if anyone has any idea where I can get this font from to install (rpm, etc), or if it's not the problem, any idea how ot fix it, that would be most appreciated.

[SLUG] umask and useradd
Hi All, I want to sync a filesystem over rsync/ssh. the filesystem is /home. I do not want to use the root user to sync this filesystem. How can I set the system up so that I can sync using a normal user that has access to all home directories without having to constantly chown and chmod the /homedirectories to grant access to this normal user ?. I was thinking umask but does useradd use umask ? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
